Summary

I’m writing about a concerning experience I had with our 2014 Honda Odyssey EX-L vehicle. We’ve had this vehicle for about 5 years and haven’t had any issues until recently. On Monday, June 14th approximately at 5:30pm PDT we were starting to accelerate on the freeway onramp when our Honda vehicle stayed in a low gear. I was unable to accelerate and eventually the dashboard lights started to flash and the HondaLink system restarted while this was occurring. The instrument panel then displayed the words “Failure” and I proceed to the emergency shoulder of the freeway. Prior to this incident there were no indicators that there was an issue with the vehicle. After turning off the vehicle, I was no longer able to get the vehicle started and it had to be towed to our long-time auto repair shop. After they ran a diagnostic test and checked the vehicle, they said everything passed except for the battery which was still good prior to the incident. For safety, the battery was replaced and we drove the vehicle home on Tuesday, June 15th. The next day, June 16th, while my wife was running an errand and after returning to the car it turned over very “sluggishly”, the HondaLink system restarted again, and then it began losing electrical power as well. My wife didn’t want to take any chances with having the vehicle shut down again while driving and ended up having it towed again to our mechanic. The auto shop ran another diagnostic and thoroughly checked the vehicle and couldn’t find anything wrong right away. They had to do some additional troubleshooting and found that the alternator was defective even though the Honda diagnostics didn’t report any issues with the alternator. The alternator was replaced and we haven’t experienced any additional issues to date. This incident is extremally concerning as the outcome could have been worse or tragic if this would have occurred while driving at a higher rate of speed on the road or freeway.

Summary

Pearl white paint peeling to expose the primer on the door, hood, roof, tailgate and the edge of the gas tank door. The recall expired in 2019 and I was never notified about the paint recall. I found out in 2021 when I took the van into the dealer to repair mechanical recalls because I had to ship the vehicle out to Hawaii. The dealer took pictures and sent a claim to Honda, but it was denied. Honda customer service was no help at all and could only direct me to a dealer, which I believe the dealer did what the could by taking pictures and submitting an estimate and claim on my behalf.

I WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVE THROUGH ON DECEMBER 6, 2020. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE (I DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT - MY RIGHT FOOT) WITH MY RIGHT FOOT, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VAN MOVED ABOUT 5 FEET FORWARD AS I INCREASED THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WENT TO RED LINE. I PUSHED THE POWER BUTTON. NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING AS THE DRIVETHROUGH AHEAD OF ME WAS EMPTY. THE DAY BEFORE, THE LDW AND FCW FAIL LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECKOUT / DIAGNOSTICS OF WHAT HAPPENED. HONDA HAS OPENED A CASE ON THIS FOR US: CASE IS 11754879. NO PICTURES OR VIDEO AVAILABLE, UNFORTUNATELY, ALTHOUGH I AM CHECKING WITH FADI'S AT 12360 WESTHEIMER ROAD 77077.

WE HAVE A PEARL WHITE ODYSSEY. THE PAINT HAS PEELED OFF 2 TIMES, AND WE ARE TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED! I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PAINT ON OTHER HONDA VEHICLES. HONDA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PAINT ON THESE VEHICLES! THEY SHOULD FIX THIS INSTEAD OF THE CUSTOMER, SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PAINT ON THEM! NOW WE HAVE A CAR THAT WE WANT TO KEEP FOR A WHILE BUT WE NEED TO KEEP SPENDING FUNDS TO KEEP IT LOOKING NICE, WHEN HONDA SHOULD BE COVERING A KNOWN FLAW. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION HAS CONSTANT HESITATION WHEN DOING REGULAR DRIVING. IT LIKE IT CANT FIND A GEAR.

OUR PAINT IS PEALING OFF THE ROOF BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND MOONROOF. THIS IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE COVERED BY HONDA. WE PREVIOUSLY HAD PEALING ON OUR HOOD AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT OUR OWN COST. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT. CLEARLY THEY HAVE A PAINT ISSUE BY THE RECALL/WARRANTY ON THE ROOF/BACK DOOR PAINT, HOW WOULD ONLY THOSE PARTS BE AFFECTED? THEY NEED TO REPAINT, AND OR REIMBURSE ALL OF THE PEOPLE AFFECTED.

WHILE THIS ISN'T A REAL "SAFETY" ISSUE, HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERRED ME HERE TO COMPLAIN. THERE IS AN EXISTING EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PEELING 2014 ODYSSEY WHITE PEARL PAINT, BUT ONLY FOR THE ROOF AND LIFTGATE. THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE IS PEELING THERE... BUT ALSO ON THE UPPER PORTION OF ONE OF THE SLIDING DOORS. IT IS PEELING OFF OF THE PRIMER IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS THE OTHER AREAS, AND ACTUALLY STARTED PEELING THERE FIRST, BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AGAIN, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE... JUST AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER COMPLAINT.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. EXITED THE NEXT EXIT AND TOOK TOOK THE VAN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, DUE TO BEING FOULED, AND ALSO COIL PACK FOR CYLINDER 3, DUE TO MISFIRE CODE ON CYLINDER 3. WITHIN A MONTH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SHUDDER AND FLASHING CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT. TOOK THE VAN IN TO MY MECHANIC AND THE CODE SHOWED MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 3. HE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG DUE TO THE FOULING OF THE NEW PLUG AND SAVED IT FOR ME TO PRESENT TO HONDA. HE ALSO SWITCHED COIL PACK 2 WITH COIL PACK 3. HE ADVISED ME OF HONDA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 13-081 AND EXPLAINED THE BUILD DATE OF OUR ODYSSEY WAS LISTED AS 08/13 AND WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT HONDA WAS EXTENDING TO THE 11-13 MODELS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS WE WERE EXPERIENCING. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATION AND THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME OUR VAN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AND AS PROBLEMS CONTINUED TO ARISE TO CONTINUE WHAT WE WERE DOING AND FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR MECHANIC (WHO HAS ADVISED ME TO NOW GET RID OF VEHICLE DUE TO HONDA'S POSITION) AND THAT IN THE TECHNICIAN'S OPINION FUEL INJECTORS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND THERE WERE NO ODORS PRESENT SO I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TOWARDS THE NEXT EXIT. ABOUT .5MI AWAY FROM THE EXIT, THE ABS, FCW, LDW, AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE AIR CONDITIONER AND CONSOLE TURNED OFF, AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED. THIS PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY LOST POWER. THE LOCAL DEALER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS AN OIL LEAK IN THE SPOOL VALVE THAT THEN DESTROYED THE ALTERNATOR AND FRIED THE BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER (HONDA) RECENTY ISSUED TSB 20-023 DETAILING THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR PROCEDURE, BUT IT WAS LIMITED TO THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK, NOT ANY OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT WERE DAMAGED. MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE INCIDENT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE A FIRE COULD HAVE BROKEN OUT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK ONTO THE OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS.

A FEW YEARS AGO, THE HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 WAS MAKING SHIFTING NOISES AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. HONDA SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR FREE. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO (ABOUT 85,000-125,000) IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ENGINE BREAK WHEN COASTING DOWN FROM SPEED (LIKE THE ENGINE WAS SHIFTING DOWN AND SLOWING THE CAR). TODAY (APRIL 17, 2020) IT BEGAN TO BUCK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SHIFTED WITH MORE BUCKING WHEN STARTING BACK UP FROM A STOP. SEEMS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY

Summary

(2014 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L). ON FRI, 02-21-2020, 3:47PM, I WAS SLOWING TO STOP AT INTERSECTION. BEFORE COMING TO COMPLETE STOP, ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER, BUT DID NOT COMPLETELY STALL/STOP, AND THE MIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHUDDER WHILE IDLING AT COMPLETE STOP. I GENTLY APPLIED ACCELERATION TO 10-MPH. ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHUDDER AS I CONTINUED AND STOPPED AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT. AGAIN I GENTLY APPLIED ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHUDDER UNTIL I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PARK AND SWITCHED IT OFF. THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AT A CONSISTENT LEVEL FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT 8-MINUTES. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE DEPT TO ASK ABOUT POSSIBLE CAUSES AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE SERVICE REP ASKED ME ABOUT A PREVIOUS REPAIR NOTED ON HIS COMPUTER FOR AN ISSUE THE VAN HAD REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF AN OIL SENSOR IN OCTOBER 2019, AND IF IT WAS RELATED. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T KNOW. SINCE HE COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, HE ADVISED ME NOT TO START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE BECAUSE IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE MORE DAMAGE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THEN I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY VAN WAS TAKEN TO MY HONDA SERVICE DEPT. ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, A SERVICE REP CALLED ME WITH THE DIAGNOSIS CODE P0303, WHICH HE SAID INDICATES THAT A MISFIRE WAS DETECTED IN THE #3 CYLINDER. THE REP SAID THAT THIS ISSUE ALLOWED OIL TO PASS BY THE MULTIPLE OIL RINGS ON THE PISTON INTO THE CHAMBER AND FOULED THE SPARK PLUG. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE SERVICE REP QUOTED $4,420.00 TO REPAIR OBDII CODE P0303. I ASKED HIM IF THE MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A RESULT OF ANY DRIVER ACTION OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE. HE SAID THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I SHOULD CALL AMERICAN HONDA AUTOMOBILES (800-999-1009).

PAINT PEELING OFF THE TAILGATE WHILE IN MOTION ON A SUBURBAN STREET. THE PAINT THAT DELAMINATED ENDED UP ON THE BACK WINDOW WHILE DRIVING, BLOCKING SOME OF THE WINDOW ABOVE THE TAILGATE. HAD TO PULL OVER AND PEEL OFF THE WINDOW. IT WASN'T A LARGE BLOCKAGE BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO NOTICE AND SURPRISING. I WISH I HAD GOTTEN A PHOTO OF THE PAINT ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT DIDN'T THINK TO DO THAT. WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PAINT PEELING ISSUE BUT WILL NOT DISCUSS IT AND REFERRED TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAYS IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BUT HONDA WILL NOT FIX DUE TO VIN NOT BEING ELIGIBLE IN THEIR DATABASE. WHY IT'S NOT ELIGIBLE, SINCE IT'S THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR AND PAINT COLOR AS ALL THE OTHER ODYSSEYS WITH THIS ISSUE, I DO NOT KNOW.

Summary

I WAS DRIVING MY ODESSEY HOME FROM WORK IN AVERAGE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. 30 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING WORK, I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I ACCELERATED UPON THE LIGHT TURNING GREEN MY VAN SHUDDERED/JERKED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS BETWEEN 15 & 20 MPH. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FLUKE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THEN I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP AT A SECOND STOP LIGHT, NOT FIVE MINUTES LATER, AND AGAIN WHEN ACCELERATING IT REPEATED THE SHUDDER/JERK UPON SHIFTING BETWEEN 15-20MPH. I THEN CONTINUED ANOTHER 20-30 MINUTES HOME AND THE ISSUE REPEATED EVERY TIME I HAD TO SLOW MY SPEED BELOW 20MPH IT SHUDDERED/JERKED UPON ACCELERATING. I MADE IT HOME, DID NOT TURN OFF THE VAN, MY HUSBAND GOT IN AND DROVE IT TO A LOCAL SHOP ABOUT 5MIN DOWN THE ROAD AND EXPERIENCED ROUGH SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND THE CONTINUED ISSUE OF ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN 15-20MPH. AT OUR ARRIVAL TO THE SHOP HE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND WE RETURNED HOME. ON THIS RETURN TRIP AND THE NEXT DAY ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK THERE ARE NO FURTHER ISSUES OF ROUGH SHIFTING OR JERKING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO CAUSE THIS TO START AND OTHER THAN TURNING OFF THE VAN AND RESTARTING IT, NOTHING WAS DONE TO REMEDY IT EITHER. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A SERVICE CENTER, BECAUSE THE ISSUE CAN NOT BE REPLICATED AT THIS TIME.

WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ENGINE MISFIRES AND VIBRATES SIGNIFICANTLY AND REDUCES DRIVABILITY. DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXTENSION ON PRIOR YEARS THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT FOR THIS MODEL AND ENGINE BUT NOT FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. WHEN THE ISSUE HAS MANIFESTED IT HAS BEEN WHEN DRIVING BOTH TIMES HAS BEEN ON A CITY STREET. ESTIMATES FOR REPAIR ARE $4,200.

PARKED ON A VERY HOT DAY IN A PARKING LOT THE ELECTRIC DOORS WON'T OPEN. IF I DRIVE THE VAN FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND STOP, THE DOORS WILL WORK. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. HONDA CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ON THE INTERNET, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR HONDA VEHICLES. ONE PERSON WROTE THAT HE REPLACED THE POWER ON OFF SWITCH ON THE DASH THAT CONTROLS THE DOORS EVEN THOUGH HIS VEHICLE SHOWED NO COMPUTER CODE ERRORS. HE SAID THAT SO FAR IT SOLVED HIS PROBLEM. HONDA ONLY LOOKS FOR COMPUTER CODE ERROR AND IF THERE IS NO ERROR, THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO MISFIRE FOR A FEW MILES TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. GOT CAR TO REPAIR SHIP AND THEY REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS BECAUSE THEY WERE IN BAD SHAPE AND ONE NO LONGER WORKED. THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER THAT. 4 MONTHS LATER WHILE ON HIGHWAY SAME MISFIRE HAPPENED. I TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND SAID THE O-RINGS NEED REPLACED. THEY TRIED TO GET HONDA TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S THE SAME ISSUE THAT LED TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2011-2013 HONDA ODYSSEYS. IN THAT CASE THE "PISTON RINGS IN CERTAIN CYLINDERS MAY ROTATE AND ALIGN, LEADING TO ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SPARK PLUG FOULING."

AMERICAN HONDA USA REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM AND ACTUALLY TRYING TO STATE THIS IS OWNER WEAR & TEAR? THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT 100% AND HONDA NEEDS TO ADMIT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AFFECTING ALL NEWER WHITE HONDA'S LIKE 2016 HRV, 2015 PILOTS, FITS & ODYSSEYS, 2014 PILOTS & ODYSSEYS, 2013, 2012 ETC ETC.

THE DEALERSHIP (HONDA OF CLEAR LAKE) DID NOT CONSIDER THAT AS WARRANTY WHEN THE ISSUE WAS POINTED OUT TO THEM. AN INDEPENDENT QUOTE FOR FIXING THE PAINT (PEARL WHITE) WAS WELL OVER $2000. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW CAR, HONDA MUST OWN UP THE ISSUE AND DO THIS PAINT RELATED FIX FREE OF CHARGE, ON DOING A SEARCH ON ODYSSEY OWNERS FORA, I NOTED THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE MODEL.

Summary

MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY MOST NOTABLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS VERY COLD BELOW 30 DEGREES AND FIRST THING IN THE AM. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IT'S AS IF I'M STUCK IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHIFTS AND IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS VERY LOUD & THEN THE CAR JERKS FORWARD FROM THE CAR SHIFTING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WHEN MY CAR WAS VERY NEW WITHIN THE FIRST 1-2 YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET IT TO 'THROW A CODE' FOR THEM. I EVEN LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT SO THAT THEY COULD DRIVE THE CAR COLD IN THE MORNING AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM. IT IS VERY RANDOM WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN? AFTER READING MANY HONDA ODYSSEY ONLINE CHATS EVERYONE SAYS IT'S THE COMPUTER AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS HAS SEEMED TO WORK AND STOPS THE JERKY SHIFTING FOR THE TIME BEING. SO NOW WHEN MY CAR STARTS JERKING ME DOWN THE ROAD AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT I HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTART IT. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL BY NOW BUT I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE REPORTED IT EARLIER. TO SUM IT UP THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTERIZED SHIFTING MECHANISM THAT FOR SOME REASON WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE KEEPS THE CAR IN LOW GEARS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EVERY TIME I'VE HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED THEY COMMENT ON HOW DIRTY IT IS? I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND NO ONE CAN SOLVE IT?

Summary

THE "STANDARD SEAT ASSEMBLY" AS DEFINED BY FIG-1A OF FMVSS 213 DEFINES SEAT/SEAT-BELT GEOMETRY SUCH THAT A SEATBELT BUCKLE SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND175MM (~6IN) FROM THE SEAT BIGHT. THE STANDARD SEEMS TO ALLOW CAR MANUFACTURERS TO UTILIZE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES ANYWHERE IN THE 0 TO 175MM RANGE FROM THE BIGHT. A BIGHT-TO-BUCKLE (B2B) DISTANCE OF 175MM MAKES IT DIFFICULT (OR IMPOSSIBLE) TO PROPERLY SECURE CHILD CAR SEATS, USING THE VEHICLE'S SEAT BELT, IF THE CHILD SEAT DEPTH IS SHALLOWER THAN 175MM. THIS HYPOTHESIS WAS DEVELOPED AFTER I WAS UNABLE TO PROPERLY SECURE A DIONO RADIAN RXT CAR SEAT (FORWARD FACING MODE) IN MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE BUCKLES IN THE HONDA (SEE ATTACHED) APPEAR TO BE CLOSE TO THE 175MM THRESHOLD. HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO SECURE THE SAME DIONO SEAT IN MY 2007 AUDI A6 BECAUSE THE AUDI'S BUCKLES ARE FLUSH MOUNTED IN THE SEAT CUSHION (I.E. B2B OF ~0MM). I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS A "HONDA" PROBLEM, BUT A PROBLEM WITH THE LACK OF SPECIFICITY OF FMVSS-213 WRT HOW CHILD SEATS ARE TO BE TESTED. FMVSS 213 S6.1.2 SIMPLY STATES THAT THE "STANDARD SEAT ASSEMBLY" IS TO BE USED, AND MAKES NO MENTION OF ENSURING COMPATIBILITY OF FIT THROUGHOUT THE B2B RANGE. THE DIONO MANUAL (SEE PG-19, ATTACHED) INDICATES THAT THEIR SEATS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH "...ANCHOR POINTS FORWARD OF THE SEAT CREASE." I REVIEWED OTHER CHILD CAR SEAT MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTION MANUALS AND FOUND SIMILAR WARNINGS. WHILE THE HONDA SEAT BELTS CONTAIN FMVSS-209 CERTIFICATION TAGS, AND THE DIONO IS LABELED WITH FMVSS-213 TAGS, I BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO STANDARDS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. RECOMMENDATIONS: (1)UPDATE "STANDARD SEAT ASSEMBLY" OF FMVSS-213 SUCH THAT B2B IS EXPLICITLY FIXED AT 175MM OR (2) FMVSS-209 MUST RESTRICT B2B< 25MM. FMVSS-209 S4.1.E ONLY SPECIFIES, "...BUCKLE OR BUCKLES READILY ACCESSIBLE TO THE OCCUPANT TO PERMIT HIS EASY & RAPID REMOVAL..."

I HEARD A LOUD POP THAT I THOUGHT WAS A GUNSHOT OR LARGE SOMETHING HITTING MY CAR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS, AND FELT SOMETHING HIT MY ARM. I LOOKED UP TO SEE THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.

ONCE THE SPARE IS REPLACE WITH A NEW TIRE, THE FORMER LIGHT COMES BACK AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE PART IS REPLACED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO US TWICE.

ALSO SINCE THIS IS ELECTRICAL I AM ON MY 3RD BATTERY FOR THIS 2014 VEHICLE, IF YOU TEST THE BATTERY WHILE IN CAR IT WILL TEST AT ABOUT 1300+ CRANKING AMPS, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT EXPLAIN. TAKE THE BATTERY OF OF THE CAR AND IT TESTS CORRECTLY AND BY MORE COMPANY.. CLEARLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT OPEN UNDER POWER OF THE CAR OFTEN, IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO THE DOOR, SWITCHES, OR THE KEY FAB. I DO HAVE YOUNGER CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

2 POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES OCCURRING AT 55000 MILES OR LESS WITH NO RECALL FROM HONDA: TRANSMISSION JERKING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WARPED BRAKE ROTORS AT LOW MILEAGE: ISSUE 1: WHEN TRAVELING UP A HILL (SMALL TO MODERATE GRADE) THE VAN HAS A JERKING MOTION AND THE NEEDLE ON THE ODOMETER BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 200 RPMS WITH THE FOOT STEADY ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR QUITE SOME TIME ON HILLS BUT NOW AT 55000 MILES THE VAN IS DOING IT ON A LEVEL SERVICE WHILE IN 2ND GEAR (OR WHEN TRANSITIONING TO 2ND FROM 1ST). AGAIN THE FOOT IS STEADY ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VAN JERKS WITH THE NEEDLE BOUNCING ON THE ODOMETER A FEW HUNDRED RPMS BACK AND FORTH FOR A SHORT BIT UNTIL INTO 3RD GEAR. I READ OF A TSB 16-060 THAT THE CAUSE IS IMPROPER HEATING OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE SHORT-TERM FIX IS TO DRAIN AND FILL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHILE A FUTURE FIX IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT IS NOT YET COMPLETED. ISSUE 2: WHEN BRAKING THERE IS VIOLENT VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE BUT WHILE STILL UNDER THE 3 YEAR/36000 MILE WARRANTY, THEY TURNED THE ROTORS WHICH CAUSED THE VIBRATIONS TO GO AWAY. NOW AT 55000 MILES THE VAN IS AGAIN HAVING VIOLENT VIBRATIONS WHILE BRAKING. THE ROTORS SHOULD NOT WARP SO FAST, WITH LOW MILEAGE.

Summary

WE HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES, BEGINNING AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES WITH A NOTICEABLE JUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 117,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM ON AVERAGE ABOUT 10,000 MILES AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. THIS COINCIDES WITH NHTSA REFERENCE #10084801. AS OF YET, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY RESOLUTION TO THE TSB, AND I AM GROWING FRUSTRATED BY THE SUGGESTED "SOLUTION" OF TRIPLE CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY TIME THE SYMPTOMS SURFACE EVERY 10-15,000 MILES.

Summary

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. IT CONSTANTLY RE-OPENS AFTER PRESSING THE CLOSE BUTTON OR USING THE HANDLE AND MUST BE FORCED CLOSED MANUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH TIME. WE TRY TO NOT USE THAT DOOR WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THAT IS THE DOOR CLOSEST TO ME FOR MY CHILDREN TO USE. AND THE OTHER DAY WHEN MY DAUGHTER ACCIDENTALLY FORGOT AND USED THAT DOOR, I SHUT IT AND WE WENT ON TO OUR ERRANDS, WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE VAN THE DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN, OBVIOUSLY IT AUTOMATICALLY OPENED AS WE LEFT. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. AT 4 YEARS OLD THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. MY LAST HONDA ODDESSEY WAS A 2009, IT DID THE SAME THING, AAA HAD TO COME ONE DAY WHILE I WAS STUCK AT THE GYM AND COULD NOT GET IT TO CLOSE. THEY HAD TO CUT THE WIRES ON THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT. NOW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY A RECALL.

NOVEMBER 2017 NEWS REPORTS DESCRIBED A SAFETY RECALL OF CERTAIN MODEL YEARS OF HONDA ODYSSEY VAN SECOND ROW SEATING. THIS WAS DUE TO SEATS NOT BEING SECURE IN SUDDEN STOP OR IMPACT. SINCE THAT TIME, NOW 4 MONTHS, SEVERAL DEALERSHIP CLAIM NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN THE RECALL REPAIRS WILL BE HONORED AND REFER CALLERS TO HONDA AMERICA. HONDA AMERICA REFERS ALL CALLS TO DEALERS AND STATES THIS IS "NOT REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE" BUT A MATTER OF OPERATOR ERROR. I WOULD SUBMIT THAT IF THE SEAT LATCH SYSTEM CAN BE INSTALLED/OPERATED IMPROPERLY THEN IT IS IN FACT A SAFETY RELATED DESIGN DEFECT WHICH A CORPORATION THE SIZE OF HONDA COULD HAVE REPAIRED BY NOW, IF THEY WERE NOT DENYING THE PROBLEM! CAN DOT ENFORCE AN EXISTING FEDERAL RECALL?

CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY DURING MILD ACCELERATION, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND SPEEDS. THIS CAN OCCUR RIGHT AFTER STARTUP OR CAN START AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. IT CONTINUES UNTIL THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM DISSAPPEARS WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. IT OCCURS VERY RANDOMLY, I.E., INTERVALS OF WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE IT OCCUR AT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT., AND IT DOES NOT GIVE A COMPUTER CODE. THE DEALER CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE.

THIS IS THE 2ND RECALL I'VE HAD ON MY CAR WITHIN A YEAR ALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE 2ND ROW SEATS NOT LATCHING PROPERLY. THE LADY ON THE PHONE JUST TOLD ME THAT IF I BRAKE TOO HARD THE SEAT COULD POSSIBLY COME UNLATCHED. I HAVE A CHILD AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT HONDA ISN'T DOING ANYTHING EXCEPT WAITING FOR PARTS TO COME IN AND NOT SELLING THEIR NEW VANS UNTIL THESE PARTS COME IN. I DON'T FEEL THAT IS ENOUGH. HOW CAN HONDA ALLOW PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES TO STILL BE DRIVING THEM UNTIL THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. IF I BRAKE HARD AND THE SEAT COMES UNLATCHED FROM THE FLOOR BOARD, WHICH IS WHAT THE LADY TOLD ME, THAT IS SUPER UNSAFE AND HONDA SHOULD BE DOING MORE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, EVEN WORSE IF SOMEONE IS TO RUN INTO YOU OR REAR-END YOU. THE CHILD OR ADULT, WHOMEVER, WILL PROBABLY DIE IF THE SEAT UNLATCHES FROM THE FLOORBOARD. AND BETTER YET, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE PARTS IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING (IN MOTION) ON SLIPPERY, WET, BUT ICY ROADS IN TOWN. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. TWICE, I HAD TO STOP SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN I NORMALLY WOULD HAVE, BUT WHEN I STARTED TAPPING THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP, THEY FELT LIKE THEY LOCKED UP ON ME AND IT TOOK AWHILE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO HAVE ANY "BRAKE" FEELING AT ALL! THE WHEEL WALLS, I NOTICED LATER HAVE SMALL SPACE BETWEEN TIRE AND WHEEL WALL, CAUSING SNOW BUILD-UP, WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A PROBLEM IN THE BRAKING ABILITY ALSO. AFTER THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, MY BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT WARNING CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON NOW. BUT, AFTER I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CAR WASH AND GOT ALL THE ICE OUT OF THE WHEEL WELLS, THE BRAKES ARE WORKING FINE AND SMOOTH STOPPING, STILL ICY CONDITIONS ON THE ROAD. I THINK THE WHEEL WALLS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN THE TIRES AND WHEEL WALLS. IN ICY CONDITIONS, IT SEEMS TO BE PUTTING DANGEROUS PRESSURE ON MY BRAKE SYSTEM, WHEN IN MOTION APPLYING THE BRAKES. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A ROAD WHEN ALL THE ABOVE OCCURRED.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T SHUT ON MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. I PARKED THE VAN IN A PARKING GARAGE AND WE SHUT ALL THE DOORS THE PASSENGER WOULD ONLY SHUT HALF WAY AND THEN RE-OPEN. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF TRYING TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS STUCK I CALLED AAA AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT LEAVE MY CHILDREN ALONE WHILE I DRIVE THE VAN OUT OF THE GARAGE AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT DRIVE WITH THEM IN THE VAN WITH THE DOOR OPEN WE HAD TO WAIT 3 HOURS FOR A TRUCK THAT WOULD FIT IN A GARAGE. AAA FINALLY CAME AND SAID THEY COULD NOT TOW THE VAN BECAUSE THE DOOR MUST BE SHUT FOR LIABILITY AND SAFETY REASONS. SO I AM STUCK IN A GARAGE WITH 4 KIDS AND NO ONE CAN HELP ME. AT THIS TIME MY FIANC SHOWED UP (WE WERE OUT OF TOWN ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME) AND AAA AND HE DECIDED TO CUT THE CABLE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE DOOR AND THE DOOR SHUT.. BUT THE DOOR IS BROKEN. I CALLED HONDA OWNER AND MADE A COMPLAINT BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S JUST NOTED NO ACTION IS TAKEN IN THE MEAN WHILE MY ALMOST $30,000 VAN HAS A BROKEN DOOR THEY CAN IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA (THEY WERE NOT VERY NICE) IT SEEMS ALL ABOUT THE$$ AND NOT THE SAFETY OF THEIR HONDA OWNERS. THEY SAID THEY WILL LOOK AT MY CAR FOR A FEE OF$140.. I LOOKED UP PARTS ONLINE AND $400 + SO THAT PLUS WHAT EVER THEY CHARGE ME TO FIX PROBABLY $1000 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. PEOPLE WHO USUALLY GET VANS ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MULTIPLY CHILDREN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO ADDRESSED ASAP IT'S CHILD INDANGERMENT TO HAVE A OPEN DOOR WHILE YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AND WHAT IF I HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE BECAUSE I HAD NO ONE THEN IT WOULD NOT BE SECURE IT WOULD BE WIDE OPEN.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP THIS NOT SOMETHING ANY PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH. THUS SITUATION MADE ME FEEL HELPLESS MY KIDS WERE TIRED, HUNGRY AND HAD TO USE THE BATHROOM AND I WAS HELPLESS. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.

THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES UP AND ENGINE IS BURING OIL. DEALERSHIP CHECKED AFTER 500 MILES AND SAID IT IS BURNING OIL. TOLD ME TO KEEP CHECKING OIL LEVEL AND IF LOW TOP IT OFF TILL THE NEXT LIGHT COMES UP SO THAT THEY CAN GET DIAGNOSTOC CODE. DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. THIS IS A NEW VAN AND PURCHASED NEW AND 2 YEARS BACK AND NOW HAS ONLY 31000 MILES.

Summary

TRANSMISSION BUCKING AT LOW SPEED AFTER DRIVING A WHILE. WHEN I DRIVE MY VAN OFF THE DRIVE WAY, EVERYTHING BEHAVES NORMALLY. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN IT WAS DRIVEN FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO. AFTER ON THE FREEWAY FOR 30 MINUTES OR LONGER WHILE STOPPING AT THE OFF RAMP WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT, THE VANS HAS PROBLEM TRYING TO SHIFT BETWEEN SPEED OF 20-40MPH. THE VANS BODY SHAKES VIOLENTLY AS IF IT WAS DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH MULTIPLE LOW SPEED BUMPS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS DIFFICULTY HUNTING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR. I CAN SEE THE RPM MOVING UP AND DOWN CRAZILY AS IF IT ENGAGES A LOWER GEAR AND IMMEDIATELY DECIDES TO SWITCH TO HIGHER GEAR MULTIPLE TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS MOST PROMINENT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT COMPLETE STOPS AND TRYING TO SPEED UP ON THE INCLINE STREET. WHEN IT IS ON HIGH SPEED, SUCH AS 50 MPH AND ABOVE, IT DRIVES SMOOTHLY. I THINK THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO COMPENSATE BETWEEN BEST GEAR RATIO AND BEST FUEL ECONOMY GEAR AT THE GIVEN SPEED. A THE SPEED WHERE CONSTANT SPEED IS NOT ACHIEVED SUCH AS HILL CLIMBING OR ACCELERATING FROM STOP AT THE OFF RAMP TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE COMPUTER CONFUSED.

Summary

OUR HONDA ODYSSEY WAS SUBJECT TO THE RECENT RECALL RELATING TO THE MOVEMENT OF THE SECOND ROW SEATS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AT THE NEARBY HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND IT WAS ALLEGEDLY FIXED. HOWEVER, SEVERAL DAYS THEREAFTER, WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TODDLER (IN A CAR SEAT ATTACHED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE SECOND ROW SEAT) AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ON LOCAL STREETS, I BRAKED GENTLY TO MERGE INTO A LANE THAT WOULD TURN TOWARD THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD MY CHILD CRYING IN SUDDEN DISTRESS. THE SEAT THAT SHE WAS IN HAD FLIPPED FORWARD INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AND HER HEAD AND BODY WAS PRESSED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND WENT TO SET THE SEAT BACK DOWN AND CHECK ON AND COMFORT MY CHILD. THERE WERE SOME INJURIES, AND WE SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CHECKED THE SEAT THAT HAD FLIPPED FORWARD, AND IT WAS STILL NOT LOCKED INTO PLACE, DESPITE ME HAVING SET THE SEAT DOWN AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR THAT NO INDIVIDUAL HAS MOVED THIS SEAT SINCE WE RETRIEVED THE CAR AFTER ITS REPAIR FROM THE RECALL. THIS INCIDENT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE, AS THIS INDICATES THAT THE REPAIR RELATING TO THE RECALL WAS NOT PROPERLY DONE OR ELSE THERE ARE ADDITIONAL MECHANICAL ISSUES INVOLVED. I ATTACHED A PICTURE OF HOW THE CAR SEAT WAS POSITIONED (WITH MY CHILD IN IT!). WE ALSO CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN FOR EVALUATION, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS INCIDENT WAS DUE TO THEIR HUMAN ERROR OR A MECHANICAL ISSUE.

THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE FAULTY AND BECOME EASILY WARPED, CAUSING SEVERE SHAKING WHEN BRAKING, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT GENERALLY OVERALL. THE HONDA DEALER ADMITS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT COVER THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY. OUR VAN HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES, AND THE ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED AROUND 20,000 MILES. WE'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE, AND THEY OFFERED TO "RESURFACE" THE ROTORS FOR $170 OR REPLACE WITH "UPDATED ROTORS" FOR $562 BUT DECLINED TO COVER UNDER WARRANTY (WE EVEN PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY). I EMAILED THE DEALER WITH MY CONCERNS, AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD BE FORWARDED TO MANAGEMENT. I CALLED HONDA AS WELL TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT, AND THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID SHE WOULD FORWARD OUR CONCERNS TO ENGINEERING.

I NOTICED IT AFTER MY FILTER WAS CHANGED ON OCT 26,, 2016 AT THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN MY SONS RAISED THE HOOD THEY FOUND THE TOP WAS NOT CLOSED DOWN AND LOCKED ON THE FILTER. A LOT OF TRASH HAD GOTTEN IN THERE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I'VE MENTIONED IT TO DEXTER ALEXANDER AND HE HAD THE SERVICE GUYS BLOW IT OUT BUT IT HASN'T HELPED. THIS IS A $38,000 VEHICLE THAT I'M PAYING ON EVERY MONTH. THIS SHOULD' BE HAPPENING. THIS IS MY SECOND ODYSSEY. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY FIRST ONE.

Summary

WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM A FAMILY TRIP TO OUR LOCAL MOUNTAINS, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHUTTER WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE ELEVATION CHANGE FROM BIG BEAR, CALIFORNIA TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL IN HIGHLAND, CALIFORNIA IS APPROXIMATELY 5400 FEET. I WAS NOT "RIDING" THE BRAKES NOR WAS I SPEEDING. I ONLY APPLIED THEM TO APPROPRIATELY SLOW THE VEHICLE IN CURVES. I WAS CONCERNED ENOUGH THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFECTIVELY SLOW THE VEHICLE, OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE, THAT I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS AND SAW NOTHING VISUALLY. WHEN RESUMING DOWN THE HILL, THE SHUTTERING WAS MUCH BETTER FOR A COUPLE OF CURVES AND THEN CONTINUED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HILL, UNTIL THEY WERE MORE STRAIGHTAWAYS AND I NEEDED THE BRAKES LESS. THE SHUTTERING DIMINISHED UPON LESS USE/COOLING. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT OVERHEATING OF THE BRAKE ROTORS IS EXTREMELY COMMON ON MY HONDA VEHICLE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, SO MUCH SO THAT THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS FOR MY VEHICLE. THE REDESIGN INCLUDES ROTOR VENTS TO HELP KEEP THE ROTORS COOL. I FEEL THE DESIGN FLAW OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ROTORS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA THROUGH A RECALL.

THE ONLY NOTICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM HONDA REGARDING THIS RECALL STATED THAT HONDA DID NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS. HONDA WEBSITE STATES THAT I MUST BRING MY VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE MY LIFE IS AT STAKE. YET HONDA CANNOT TELL ME THAT IT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO, I NOTICED TODAY THAT THE BOTTOM WINDSHIELD SEAL OR SUPPORT THAT HOLDS THE WINDSHIELD IN PLACE HAS BUCKLED IN NUMEROUS PLACES AND IS ABOUT TO COME OFF ENTIRELY. THIS WOULD PERMIT WATER TO ENTER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CREATE A DRIVING HAZARD. IT MIGHT ALSO PERMIT THE WINDSHIELD TO COME LOOSE. I SUSPECT THAT THIS IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT IS LIKELY A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE HONDA LINEUP. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SO I CANNOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

THE SECOND ROW SEATS BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN ACCESSING THE 3RD ROW SEATS USING THE SLIDE HANDLE. UNDER NORMAL OPERATION, RETURNING THE 2ND ROW SEATS TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION SECURES THE SLIDER MECHANISM OF THE SEATS AND PREVENTS THE 2ND ROW SEAT FROM MOVING. HOWEVER, THE LOCKING MECHANISM DOES NOT WORK AND YOU WILL NOT KNOW THAT THE SEAT IS NOT SECURE. POSSIBLE INJURY MAY OCCUR TO THE 3RD ROW OCCUPANTS IF THE 2ND ROW SEAT MOVES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. 2ND ROW SEAT OCCUPANTS ALSO MAY BE INJURED IN THIS SITUATION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

AT 20,000 MILES, BRAKING FROM FREEWAY SPEEDS STARTED TO CAUSE SHUDDERING AND JERKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WE WERE ABLE TO LIVE WITH IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT FINALLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 27,960 MILES, AND WERE TOLD THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS WITHOUT OUR AUTHORIZATION AND SAID THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE (THEY SHOW CLEAR SIGNS OF HEAT DAMAGE). THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND HONDA HAS ALREADY DISCONTINUED THE OLD ROTOR, AND A NEW ROTOR IS AVAILABLE, PART # 45251-TK8-A02. YET, HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE OUR DEFECTIVE ROTORS, MAKING OUR VEHICLE DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. REFINISHING THE ROTORS WILL ONLY TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WILL QUICKLY OVERHEAT AGAIN, AND HONDA OBVIOUSLY JUST HOPES THIS HAPPENS AFTER OUR WARRANTY EXPIRES. THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE (2 YEARS), AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

MY DOOR CAME AJAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD!!! WHEN THE DASH TEMPERATURE READS ABOVE 96 DEGREES, THE ELECTRONICS OF THE REAR-SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT OPERATE. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VAN WAS 3.5 MONTH OLD. THE LOCAL SERVICE DEPT CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE, AND NO ERROR CODE DISPLAYS ON THE DASH. MY BABY HAS BEEN TRAPPED IN THE BACKSEAT, BECAUSE I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. DURING THE HOT TEMPS, THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY. THE DOORS ARE COMPLETELY STUCK! ONCE I DRIVE AROUND AND THE VAN COOLS, THE ELECTRONICS/SLIDING DOORS OPERATE JUST FINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VAN IS PARKED, BECAUSE BEING STATIONARY IN THE SUN ALLOWS IT TO GET HOTTER. EVEN WITH IT'S ONLY 93 OUTSIDE, THE DASH MAY READ 101 AFTER SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT FOR A FEW HOURS. LAST WEEK, I TRIED TO OPEN IT AROUND 3PM. IT WOULD NOT BUDGE. THE DASH SHOWED ALL DOORS CLOSED WHEN I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. FIVE MINUTES LATER, AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, AT 65 MPH, THE DOOR CAME AJAR! I HAD TO PULL OVER AND CLOSE IT. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS WITH OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE A RECENT VIDEO OF THE ISSUE, BUT THIS SITE DOES NOT ALLOW THAT FORMATTING.

HOWEVER, WE ARE VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVERS AND HVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF OUR NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES. ALSO, WHEN LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING ISSUE THAT HONDA APPEARS TO BE AVOIDING.

24,000 MILES ON OUR CAR AND IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND WE WERE TOLD OUR FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE MACHINED. I HAD CALL THE SERVICE DEPT. WHEN WE WERE UNDER 20,000MILES AND WAS TOLD THE SQEAKY NOISE WAS FROM THE RAIN AND THE WATER GETTING ONTO THE BRAKE PADS... YA OK. $120 + LABOR + TAXES LATER AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO MY DRIVING STYLE.. WHICH I DO NOT "RIDE THE BRAKES" NOR DO I "BREAK HARD" . WE HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER CAR. MY HUSBANDS CHEVY MALIBU HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE HIS BRAKES DONE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY OR SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THE ROTORS.

Summary

THE 2009 RULE REQUIRING CHANGES IN HEAD RESTRAINTS (COMMONLY CALLED HEAD RESTS) HAS RESULTED IN A DESIGN FOUND ON MANY VEHICLES (THE HONDA ODYSSEY IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE) THAT INCREDIBLY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR MANY DRIVERS. IN YOUR ATTEMPT TO HELP KEEP PEOPLE SAFE YOU HAVE CREATED AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT. THE ANGLE OF THE HEAD RESTRAINT PUSHING MY WIFE'S HEAD DOWN AND FORWARD CAUSING PAIN AND PREVENTING HER FROM SEEING OUT THE WINDOW PROPERLY. THIS CREATES A SERIOUS DRIVING HAZARD AND ESSENTIALLY ELIMINATED ANY VEHICLE MADE SINCE 2010 (WE HAVE TRIED GM, CHRYSLER, HONDA, TOYOTA SO FAR). THIS COULD BE SOLVED BY ALLOWING THE DRIVING TO ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE HEAD RESTRAINT - YOU KNOW, BY TREATING US ADULTS CAPABLE OF MAKING DECISIONS ON OUR OWN AND DETERMINING WHAT WORKS FOR US. I FIND THE HEAD RESTRAINT UNCOMFORTABLE BUT I CAN "LIVE WITH IT" AFTER ADJUSTING IT. THANKING FOR KEEPING US SAFE AND RUINING DRIVING FOR MY FAMILY. GREAT JOB! TRYING GOOGLING "UNCOMFORTABLE HEADRESTS IN NEW CARS" TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS LAW.

HEADLIGHTS WORK VERY POORLY. - DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT, IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN USING THE LOW BEAMS. HIGH BEAMS HELP, BUT SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH WHEN IN TRAFFIC IS NOT A SAFE, OR LEGAL, OPTION. THE LOW BEAM PATTERN APPEARS TO BE SET TOO LOW, PARTICULARLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE, AND CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED. HEADLIGHTS ARE PROJECTOR LAMP STYLE, SO EVEN REPLACEMENT OF BULBS DO LITTLE TO CORRECT, AS THE PRIMARY ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A POOR DESIGN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE PURCHASE OF NEW VEHICLE.

THE REARVIEW CAMERA OF MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 ETOURING MINIVAN BLACKS OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I AM PARALLEL PARKING, WHICH INVOLVES SHIFTING GEARS QUICKLY IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE. ONCE THE SCREEN BLACKS OUT, IT SAYS BLACK UNLESS I RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT GETS STRESSFUL WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY STREET WITH CARS WAITING BEHIND YOU AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE REAR OF THE CAR. I PURCHASED A CAR WITH A REARVIEW CAMERA SPECIFICALLY ON PURPOSE DUE TO MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN ADDITIONAL TO LIVING ON A STREET WITH A K-1ST GRADE SCHOOL WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC WITH YOUNG KIDS. THIS IS MY SECOND VEHICLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND BOTH CARS DEMONSTRATED THE REARVIEW CAMERA BLACKOUT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE HONDA AND MY LOCAL DEALER INSTRUCTED BY HONDA NOW REFUSES TO TAKE IN MY CAR TO REGISTER OR RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE A LARGE MINIVAN FAILS TO PROVIDE A FULLY RELIABLE AND FUNCTIONING REARVIEW CAMERA WHICH IS LEGALLY REQUIRED TO DO SO BY 2018 ANYWAYS. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT OR FULLY SOLVE THIS RECURRENT PROBLEM ON MANY DIFFERENT DATES.

WE HAD IT TOWED ON 11/29/15 BY AAA FROM LA TO OC IN OUR HOTEL BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS IN IT. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE JERKS COMES AND GO EVERYTIME WE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY KEEP SAYING IT NEEDS AN SOFTWARE UPDATE THEY KEPT OUR CAR AT THE DEALER FOR 2 DAYS THIS TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AGAIN. WE LIVED IN LAS VEGAS NOW WE ARE AFRAID TO MAKE A LONG TRIPS BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE ENOUGH FOR MY FAMILY. THEY CAN'T JUST KEEP UPDATING SOFTWARE ON THEIR TRANSMISSION EVERYTIME THE VAN JERKS. PLUS WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE JERKS IS GOING TO START AND STOP ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE FAR AWAY FROM HOME. THIS IS NOT RELIABLE AND UNSAFE. THE HONDA NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS.

AT 29,000 MILES, MARCH OF 2015, ROTORS HAD TO BE RE-SURFACED. AT THAT TIME MECHANIC STATED THEY WHERE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH ODYSSEY ROTORS AS THE ROTOR WAS TOO SMALL FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE ODYSSEY. MECHANIC AND SERIVE WRITER STATED THAT ALL IT TOOK TO WRAPP ROTORS WAS ONE SEMI-HARD STOP. DEALER RE-SURFACE ROTOR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE BRAKE PADS THAT HAD A GROOVE IN THEM FROM WRAPPED ROTOR. NOW AT 44,000 MILES, NOV.3, 2015, ROTORS ARE WRAPPED AGAIN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF BY REPLACING ROTORS WITH A HEAVY DUTY ROTOR AND NEW BRAKE PADS.

THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 10-20 MILES PER HOUR. IT CONTINUED TO JERK AND CLUNK FOR 10 MILES AS I DROVE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MADE OUR HEARTS BEAT AS IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO FALL OUT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AS NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES CAME UP. THEY CANNOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE ISSUE NOW. I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO THEM AS SOON AS THE PROBLEM OCCUR. THEY ONLY DID SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR ME AT THAT TIME, HOPE IT WILL HELP. FOR ONE YEAR OLD 12000 MILEAGE CAR, I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE REASON I CHOSEN HONDA ODYSSEY WAS ITS SAFETY RATE. NOW I FELT UNSAFE IN THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH MY TWO KIDS. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE NOW! HOPING NHTSA HELP US PUSHING HONDA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPEN.

IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY SAID MY ROTORS ARE TOO THIN TO TURN AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AT 20K MILES. I COMPLAINED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID THEY HAVE SEEN THREE OTHER CARS ALREADY OF THIS YEAR/MAKE WITH ROTOR NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT LOW MILEAGE. THEY SAID THIS IS MORE NORMAL FOR A 60K MILE PLUS TYPE MAINTENANCE. HONDA HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND PADS FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS (FREE LABOR). HOWEVER I THOUGHT I SHOULD REPORT IT AS IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT AFFECTING MORE THAN JUST MY CAR.

WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR AND BREAKING THE CAR SHUTTERES. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND THE CAR WOULD FEEL OUT OF CONTROL WHEN BRAKING AT OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR. THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED WAS IN WET WEATHER AND I ATTRIBUTED IT TO THAT. BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED AND THE FIRST ROTORS WERE REPLACED AT ABOUT 3000 MILES. SUBSEQUENTLY THE ROTORS WERE CHANGED 2 MORE TIMES AFTER THAT. THE FOURTH TIME WE REPORTED IT TO HONDA NATIONAL. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND THAT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HOT IN FLORIDA AND I BREAK TOO HARD DESPITE THE FACT THAT I'VE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND NEVER CAME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM. THEY ALSO TOLD US THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT SELL OUR CURRENT VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WASN'T SAFE. SO BECAUSE OF CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAD TO PAY FEES LARGE FEES FOR ANOTHER CAR. HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS IS A PROBLEM . IF YOU RESEARCH ON THE WEB THERE WERE HUNDREDS EVEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH PEOPLE GIVEN THE SAME ANSWER BY HONDA. I THINK THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM AND THE SHUTTERING GETS WORSE VERY QUICKLY AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM.

I SINCE HAVE DELETED MY PHONE FROM THE SYSTEM AND NO LONGER LEAVE THE BLUE TOOTH ON BUT STILL LOSE THE ENTIRE AUDIO SYSTEM FROM TIME TO TIME. THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ALSO AT TIMES THE FRONT COLLISION WARNING WILL GO OFF WHEN YOU HAVE NO ONE AROUND YOU. I BELIEVE IT IS ALL TIED TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE I FEEL I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN. AFTER CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA AND BEING ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER ALL SHE COULD TELL ME WAS TO GET A DIFFERENT CELL PHONE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE WAITING FOR UPDATES BUT FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE THAT IT TAKES THIS LONG TO HAVE AN UPDATE BUILT.

ON SEVERAL PREVIOUS OCCASIONS AND ON THIS DATE IN PARTICULAR EXPERIENCED A SERIOUS JERK THAT APPEARED TO BE TRANSMISSION RELATED WHEN STARTING BACK FROM A LOW MILE PER HOUR SLOW DOWN.

THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS CONCERNING AS THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILE BUT THE WARRANTY IS ALMOST HALF OVER IN MONTHS. AM CONSIDERING PURSUIT OF A "LEMON" LAW CLAIM FOR THIS AND OTHER MORE MINOR ISSUES. WE TOLD THE DEALER OF THE INCIDENTS AND THEY SAID THAT THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS WE NEED TO GO TO A HONDA DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND NOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THE ERROR IS RECORDED IN THE ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. NOT A VERY CONVENIENT FIX.

NOW WE HAVE 35K MILES AND BACK AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR VIBRATION AND NOISE.THIS TIME I TOOK A CLIP OF THE NOISE SO THEY COULD HEAR IT. THE SOLUTION WAS NEW PADS AND TURN THE ROTORS ON ALL AXELS AND IT WOULD BE ABOUT $400 SINCE ITS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.THEY SAID BRAKES WERE IN MECHANICALLY GOOD CONDITION AND THE PADS STILL HAD ABOUT 40% SO I COULD JUST LIVE WITH NOISE AND VIBRATION IF I DIDNT WANT TO DO THE BRAKE JOB.I SAID I THOUGHT THIS WAS RIDICULOUS BASED ON ITS MILEAGE AND WAS AGAIN TOLD BASICALLY ITS DEPENDENT ON DRIVING HABITS (ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM ON ANY OTHER CAR IVE OWNED).I SAID I THINK ITS A HONDA BRAKE DESIGN ISSUE IN THAT ROTORS AND PADS ARE NOT ROBUST ENOUGH FOR THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE AS THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA AND ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUES.WE TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO AGREED THEY HAVE SEEN THIS AS A PROBLEM AND ADMITTED HE HAS A PILOT THAT NEEDS BRAKES ABOUT EVERY 40K MILES.THEY AGREED TO TURN THE BACK ROTORS TO SEE IF THAT FIXES THE NOISE AND OFFERED A DISCOUNT TO DO THE FRONT BRAKES.HE LET US KNOW WE COULD USE AFTER MARKET PADS THAT MAY BE BETTER BUT ARENT UNDER THE HONDA WARRANTY (WE DIDNT DO THIS AND USED SAME PADS WITH LESS THAN APPEALING 12K MILE WARRANTY).

Summary

THE CAR HAS BEEN SHAKING (STEERING WHEEL SPECIFICALLY) WHEN BRAKING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 5000 MILES BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS AN ISSUE. UPON REVIEW IT WAS FOUND FRONT BRAKE PADS ARE 80% AND BACK ARE 50% BUT FRONT ROTORS ARE WARPED. DEALER IS NOT COVERING AS 'UNDER WARRANTY' SAYING THAT WARPED ROTORS ARE DRIVER WEAR. EVERYTHING I'M READING ONLINE SAYS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2011-2014 ODYSSEYS AND THAT THERE ARE MIXED RESULTS ON DEALERS COVERING UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT DRIVE AGGRESSIVELY AND DO NOT DRIVE MOUNTAINS/HILLS. I'VE HAD 5 HONDA'S INCLUDING ONE OTHER ODYSSEY WE DROVE FOR 9 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I'M ALSO READING IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO HAPPEN REPEATEDLY AT LOW MILEAGE RATES. I WILL ADD ANOTHER CLAIM IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN.

Summary

I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF A VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. TECH FOUND ROTORS ARE WARPED. THIS IS THE SECOND SET OF ROTORS. THE FIRST SET WARPED AT 13,000 MILES AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND SET HAVE WARPED AT 11,000 MILES. DEALER SAID THAT THEY CAN TURN THE ROTORS BUT CANNOT REPLACE AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY UNLESS AMERICAN HONDA AUTHORIZES REPLACEMENT. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA (AH) 1-800-999-1009 ON 5/29/15. RECEIVED VOICE MAIL MESSAGE FROM AH ON 6/1/15 THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT THE DEALER FOR INFORMATION. RECEIVED CALL FROM AH REP CHRISTOPHER (EXT. 117726), ON 6/9/15 STATING AH WOULD NOT REPLACE ROTORS BUT WOULD TURN AS COURTESY. I ASKED WHY NOT FULL REPLACEMENT AS 1ST SET OF BRAKES DEGRADED AT 13K MILES AND 2ND SET AT EVEN LOWER MILEAGE, 11K. REP SAYS MANY REASONS COULD HAVE CAUSED WEAR, WEATHER CONDITIONS, DRIVING STYLE, WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. I SAID THAT IF IT WAS WEIGHT OF VEHICLE THEN AH HAS FAULTY BRAKE DESIGN. THEN HE SAID THAT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT WAS MY DRIVING STYLE. I SAID THAT BACKPEDDLING AND THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW I DRIVE. I THEN ASKED HIM FOR THE ESTIMATED LIFESPAN, IN MILES, OF THE BRAKES AND HE SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A LIFESPAN. I SAID THAT THERE HAS TO BE ONE, IS IT 15K OR 40K? HE REPEATED THAT THERE WAS NONE AVAILABLE. I ASKED HIM TO PUT THEIR (AH) CONCLUSION IN WRITING, USING THE ASSIGNED CASE NUMBER, N01-2015-05-29-01387. HE SAID AH WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANYTHING IN WRITING, BUT THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD WRITE UP A SERVICE ORDER. I REPEATED MY REQUEST FOR A WRITTEN REPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT AND HE INSISTED THAT AH DOES NOT DO THAT. NOTE: VEHICLE HAD STRUT ASSEMBLY REPLACED, UNDER WARRANTY, AT 6K MILES. UNDER WARRANTY, DEALERSHIP TO HAVE FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACCUATORS (LOCKS ACTIVATE AFTER EVERY STOP), WINDOW RUN CHANNELS/SEALS, AND BACK UP CAMERA CIRCUITS REPLACED. PARTS ORDERED 5/29/15.

Summary

OUR 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL MINIVAN WAS CONVERTED WITH A BRAUN ABILITY HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE CONVERSION IN FEBRUARY OF 2014. WE HAD DRIVEN THE CONVERSION MINIVAN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL APRIL 30, 2014. WE UTILIZE A POWER MOBILITY CHAIR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VAN. WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS RELEASED FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER IN THE POWER MOBILITY CHAIR, IT SOMEHOW BECAME ENTANGLED IN THE ARM OF THE POWER MOBILITY CHAIR. WE WERE UNAWARE THAT WHEN THE SHOULDER PART OF THE BELT IS PULLED ALL THE WAY OUT, IT CAUSES A SAFETY FEATURE TO ACTIVATE, AND THE BELT MUST FULLY RETRACT TO ALLOW THE PASSENGER TO MOVE ABOUT FREELY. APPARENTLY, THIS BELT WAS FULLY EXTENDED WHEN INITIALLY PLACED AROUND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IN THE MOBILITY CHAIR. WHEN THE BELT WAS RELEASED, WE COULD NOT MOVE THE PASSENGER FORWARD DUE TO THE SAFETY FEATURE, AND WE COULD NOT MOVE THE POWER CHAIR BACKWARD DUE TO THE BELT ENTANGLED IN THE ARM OF THE POWER MOBILITY CHAIR. WE NEEDED TO HAVE THE BELT COME FURTHER OUT IN ORDER TO DETANGLE IT, HOWEVER, THE SAFETY FEATURE WOULD NOT ALLOW THAT, AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NO OVER-RIDE EMERGENCY RELEASE BUTTON FOR THE SAFETY FEATURE ONCE IT IS ENGAGED. THE PASSENGER WAS TRAPPED IN THE POWER MOBILITY CHAIR IN THE MINIVAN. WE WERE ALONE, OVER 60 MILES FROM HOME, AND STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT. WE WERE UNABLE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE, AS WE COULD NOT MOVE THE POWER MOBILITY CHAIR FORWARD ENOUGH TO LOCK IT IN WITH THE Q-STRAINT SYSTEM. FORTUNATELY, MANAGEMENT OF THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ALLOWED THEIR SERVICE PERSONNEL TO DRIVE TO OUR LOCATION AND ASSIST US. THEY TOOK APART THE SEAT BELT RETRACTION DEVICE AND DETANGLED THE BELT. WE REPORTED THIS TO HONDA SO THAT THEY MIGHT CONSIDER DESIGNING A SAFETY OVER-RIDE BUTTON. THEY PROVIDED US A CASE NUMBER. WE ALSO CALLED BRAUN ABILITY SO THAT THEY MIGHT WORK WITH HONDA.

Summary

WE WERE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN CA AND OUR 2014 ODYSSEY ENGINE BEGAN TO CLUNK AND WHOLE CAR JERKED (LIKE RUNNING OVER SOMETHING LIKE A SPEED BUMP) EACH TIME WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH SECOND GEAR. FELT LIKE HITTING SOMETHING OR ENGINE FALLING OUT. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. IT CONTINUED TO JOLT/JERK/AND CLUNK FOR 20 MILES AS WE DROVE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MADE MY HEART SKIP BEATS AS IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO FALL OUT/LIKE BEING IN A CRASH. CONTACTED HONDA BUT THEIR SERVICE WAS ABOUT TO CLOSE. WE PULLED OVER TO DO OUR ERRAND AND WHEN WE RESTARTED THE CAR IT STOPPED. THE SHIFTING ON THE VEHICLE IS NOT SMOOTH THROUGH GEARS. TOOK NEXT DAY TO HONDA AND THEY WILL NOT FIX AS NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES CAME UP AND CANNOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE ISSUE NOW. NOW THERE IS A TSB TO UPDATE SOFTWARE BUT DEALERSHIP WILL NOT DO UNLESS ISSUE IS DUPLICATED AGAIN. SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOUR BRAND NEW VEHICLE MAY HAVE ENGINE TRANSMISSION FAIL AT ANY POINT DURING TRAVEL. JOLTING IS SO SEVERE WHEN IT HAPPENS THAT IT COULD CAUSE YOU TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

Summary

THE HONDA ODYSSEY HAS TERRIBLE BRAKE SHIMMYING, ESPECIALLY UNDER A LITTLE MORE LOAD/HIGHER SPEEDS OR DOWN HILLS. THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND THAT THE UNDER-SIZED ROTORS WARP EXTREMELY EASILY. HONDA DOES NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY AND EVEN THE REPAIR REP KNEW IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE, IT AFFECTS ALL RECENT YEARS OF THE ODYSSEY YET NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Summary

I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND DRIVING A STEADY 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN. AFTER I REALIZED WHAT THE SITUATION WAS I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, STEERED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AS SOON AS IT WAS SAFE TO DO AND STOPPED. I JUST HAD THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER REPLACED WHEN THIS EVENT HAPPENED 3.7 MILES FROM THE REPAIR SHOP. I SUSPECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CHANGE. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED FOR OIL UNDER ENGINE (NONE) AND THEN CHECKED THE DIPSTICK (FULL). I HAD THE VAN TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE THEIR PERSONNEL CHECKED UNDER THE ENGINE FOR AN OIL LEAK AND THEN CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AS I HAD DONE. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VAN TO HONDA. IT?S BEEN A WEEK AND HONDA SAID I NEED NEW HEADS FOR THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE TIMING ?JUMPED?. THE OIL CHANGE HAD NO EFFECT ON THIS FAILURE. SO FAR, NOBODY AT HONDA CAN TELL ME WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE TIMING TO ?JUMP?. THE TOTAL REPAIR IS BEING DONE BY HONDA AND IS COVERED BY THE HONDA'S NEW CAR WARRANTY. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VAN PRIOR TO THIS UNEXPECTED AND SUDDEN FAILURE. *TR

WE GOT THIS BRAND NEW 2014 ODYSSEY IN EARLY 2014, NOW WITH LESS THAN 7500 MILES. RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN NOTICING ROUGH, JERKY TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (VERY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN LOW GEARS). TODAY I WENT TO THE HONDA SERVICE AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES. THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS SURPRISED, AND TOLD ME THERE IS NO SUCH ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. AFTER INSISTING, HE MADE AN APPOINTMENT THIS COMING THURSDAY MORNING SO THAT HIS MECHANIC TO RIDE WITH ME SO THAT I CAN SHOW HIM. I HOPE THE PROBLEM CAN BE DUPLICATED WHEN WE DO THE TEST RIDE WITH THEM. AND THEN I AM AFRAID IF THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN DURING THIS TEST RIDE OR IF IT DOES THEY ARE NOT BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE OR WORST IS THEY MAY NOT ADMIT THERE IS ANY TRANSMISSION JERKING AND TELL ME ..... EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE ETC. I HOPE THIS CAR IS NOT A LEMON AND WE END UP FIGHTING IN A BATTLE WITH HONDA PURSUING THE LEMON LAW. I COULD NOT FIND ANYWHERE ON THE HONDA OR HONDA OWNER'S WEBSITE ANY LINK SO THAT I COULD SUBMIT TO HONDA THESE ISSUES. I LIKE TO FIND OTHER WEBSITE WHERE I COULD FIND MORE INFORMATION ON SUCH ISSUES. *TR

I PURCHASED THE 2014 ODYSSEY IN MARCH 2014. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER, GOING DOWN RAMP TO FREE WAY (IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SLIP OR SOMETHING) AND IT HAD A HARD SHAKE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEED FOR A FEW MINUTES SEEM FINE. WHEN I EXITED TO CHECK OUT, THE SHAKE CAME BACK AT LOWER GEAR. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURN BACK ON AND IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. HOWEVER, JUST RECENTLY, JUST LAST WEEK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ALSO, I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS KEEP HUNTING FOR GEARS .. UP SHIFT AND DOWN SHIFT AND MAKING THE RIDES VERY ROUGH. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT LATER. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE OF GOOD CRASH TEST RESULT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BUY A CAR TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP. *TR

Summary

BOUGHT MY VAN IN MARCH OF 2014, EARLY ON IT STARTED HAVING VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE AC/HEAT BLOWER RANDOMLY INCREASES IN POWER (IF IT WAS ON LOW, IT WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN START BLOWING FULL FORCE AND EVEN THE BARS ON THE SCREEN INCREASES).THE BLINKER RANDOMLY REFUSES TO TURN OFF EVEN AFTER MANUALLY TURNING IT OFF. THE COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AT TIMES. IT RANDOMLY BEEPS WITH NO VEHICLE IN SIGHT AND AT OTHER TIMES, WHEN IT SHOULD BEEP, IT DOESN'T. THE NAVIGATION/RADIO SCREENS COMPLETELY BLACK OUT, ONLY SHOWING YELLOW LINES THAT YOU NORMALLY SEE WHEN BACKING UP. DURING THIS TIME, THE COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM, BACKUP CAMERA, RADIO AND HEATING CONTROLS ALL DO NOT WORK.THE SCREENS STAY BLACKED OUT EVEN DURING DRIVING/BACKING UP, THEN ONCE THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND RESTARTED,THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS RANDOMLY, AND VARY IN HOW LONG IT MALFUNCTIONS FOR. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE SOME PICTURES AND CAPTURED VIDEO TO SHOW IT MALFUNCTIONING. HONDA DEALER INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS USER ERROR. THEY THOUGHT THAT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY TURNED ON THE LANE WATCH CAMERA, BUT ONCE I SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO, THE MECHANIC STATED TO ME THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FROM IT HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM. HOWEVER, I QUESTION WHETHER THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED THE PART. ALL OF OUR ORIGINAL SETTINGS WERE STILL PROGRAMMED INCLUDING VOICE DIALING. FURTHER RESEARCH LED US TO FIND OUT THAT THE SYSTEM HAD THE VIN # STORED IN ITS INTERNAL MEMORY, WHICH PROVES THAT ITS THE ORIGINAL PART FROM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. I ALSO FIND OUT THAT THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY SUED BY THE STATE OF NJ FOR CONSUMER FRAUD. I HAVE HAD TO AUDIO RECORD CONVERSATIONS AND TAKE PICTURES AS PROOF OF THE PROBLEMS MY VEHICLE HAS BECAUSE ALL THEY WANT TO SAY IS NO CODE, NO PROBLEM, WE CAN'T DUPLICATE OR ITS NORMAL. *TR

Summary

BOUGHT VEHICLE IN MARCH 2014. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH OUR POWER SLIDING DOORS. AT TIMES THEY WON'T OPEN ALL THE WAY, SOMETIMES WONT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. SOMETIMES THEY WON'T RESPOND AT ALL WHETHER YOU TRY TO OPEN OR CLOSE THEM. SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT UNLOCK AND IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF TRYING BEFORE THEY FINALLY WILL. I HAVE PICTURES PROVING THESE MALFUNCTIONS. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK HATCH MALFUNCTIONING. IT HOPS/JERKS AND MAKES GRINDING NOISES. SOMETIMES IT HOPS/JERKS SO MUCH THAT IT ACTUALLY SHAKES THE WHOLE VEHICLE. ALSO SOMETIMES THE POWER BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK WHEN TRYING TO OPEN IT. MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, BUT THE SERVICE DIRECTOR INSISTS THAT IT IS NORMAL. INITIALLY THEY DID NOT WANT TO FIX IT,, BUT AFTER BEING PERSISTENT WITH THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND THE DOOR TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. TO DATE IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, IT HAS ACTUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERSIDE SLIDING DOOR MAKING A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND WHEN I UNLOCKED IT FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC TOOK THE DOOR APART AND GREASED IT AND SO FAR THIS HAS HELPED. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS NOT RESPONDING TO THE KEY FOB. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET IT TO RESPOND PROPERLY. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF WIND NOISE AND YOU CAN FEEL THE DRAFTS. THE DRIVER WINDOW ALSO VIBRATES WHILE GOING UP/DOWN. I DON'T KNOW IF MY VEHICLE IS A LEMON OR NOT, BUT IT SURE DOES HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, ELECTRICAL, THE DOORS. ETC. I HAVE FILED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT DESCRIBES THEM ALL. I ORIGINALLY HAD A 2010 ODYSSEY AND IT HAD LESS PROBLEMS THAN THIS ONE. *TR

DEALER CONFIRMED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED. NOW IN A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, I WROTE ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE ROTORS WERE JUST DEFECTIVE OR IF THEY BECAME WARPED DUE TO BEING OVERHEATED WITH FRICTION AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSMISSION NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

Summary

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS STARTED VERY EARLY ON, I BOUGHT VEHICLE IN MARCH 2014. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS/BUCKS HORRIBLY ESPECIALLY IN LOWER GEARS, WHILE STOPPING/BREAKING, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND ALSO DURING TURNS. IT JOLTS FORWARD AT TIMES UNCONTROLLABLY. ALSO, IT DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY INTO GEARS, WHICH CAUSES RPMS TO GET ABOVE 3000 JUST DURING REGULAR DRIVING. ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH DOWNSHIFTING PROPERLY. THE FRONT ROTORS AND BREAKS HAVE ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 12,800 MILES. IMO, I BELIEVE THEY WARPED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, (THIS CAUSED EXTRA STRAIN ON THEM WITH THE LACK OF ASSIST FROM THE TRANSMISSION). THE TRANSMISSION ALSO LAGS DURING ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY, EVEN THE SLIGHTEST PRESSING OF THE BREAKS BEFORE CHANGING LANES CAUSES MAJOR LAG WITH TRYING TO REGAIN SPEED, THEN THE VEHICLE YOU ORIGINALLY TRIED TO PASS IS NOW FURTHER AHEAD OF YOU, SO OVERALL IT IS HORRIBLE WITH PASSING SPEED/ACCELERATION. BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG. THEIR FAMOUS LINES ARE "NO CODE NO PROBLEM", "WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM", OR THEY SAY "ITS NORMAL". DURING A TEST DRIVE WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AND THE MECHANIC, THE PROBLEM WAS IN FACT DUPLICATED. THE MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE SERVICE DIRECTOR STILL INSISTED IT WAS DRIVING NORMAL. THANKFULLY, I AUDIO-RECORDED THE TEST DRIVE SO I DO HAVE PHYSICAL PROOF THAT THE MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS HAVING PROBLEMS DURING THE TEST DRIVE. I NOW RECORD ALL MY CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM AND TAKE PICTURES/VIDEO'S OF THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS TO HAVE AS PROOF SINCE THEY ALWAYS GIVE ME EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE AND LIE. I ALSO HAVE OTHER VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MY VAN WHICH I WILL FILE IN SEPARATE COMPLAINT DUE TO LIMITED SPACE. *TR

THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND PERFORMED ALL DTCS CHECKS. I TOLD THE DEALER THAT ON TWO OR THREE PREVIOUS OCCASIONS I FELT THE CAR SURGE WHILE BRAKING BUT IN THESE INSTANCES THE ENGINE DID NOT STAY RACING.

THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A "NO KEY" LIGHT ON, HOWEVER THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR, AND THEN A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT THE DASH BOARD AND RADIO SCREENS WERE BLACK FOR APPROX. 2 HRS, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP AGAIN ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD FIND WRONG WITH MY VAN...

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP AGAIN, AND WAS INSISTENT THEY FIX THE KEYLESS START, BUT THEY WERE SOOO RUDE AND INAPPROPRIATE, THERE WAS NO "ERROR CODE" AND THEREFORE "HONDA WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM JUST TO REPLACE PARTS", AND THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS JUST AS RUDE!!!!

Summary

AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE FROM A LOW SPEED, FOR EXAMPLE ENTERING AN INTERSECTION OR A HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND BANGS INTO GEAR, CAUSING THE VAN TO HESITATE BEFORE IT MOVES, IT IS A VIOLENT FEELING, ALMOST LIKE BEING REAR ENDED FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAD THE TECHNICIAN EXPERIENCE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT VERIFYING SOMETHING IS WRONG. THEN WHEN I GO TO PICK IT UP AFTER ITS BEEN FIXED, I AM TOLD BY THE MANAGER THAT IT IS NORMAL BECAUSE NO CODES CAME UP. *TR

Summary

WHILE SHIFTING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR, THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCES A JERK/CLUNK THAT RESONATES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHILE ACCELERATING SLOWLY FROM A STOP, OR WHILE ACCELERATING SLOWLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN A SLOW COAST. THE WORST JERKS OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SLOWLY ACCELERATED WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE. IN ALL CASES, THE PROBLEM OCCURS DURING GENTLE ACCELERATION (GAS CONSERVATION) VERSUS QUICK ACCELERATION. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS YET TO BE REPLICATED BY MY NEIGHBORHOOD HONDA AUTO REPAIR/DEALERSHIP. NO FAULT CODES HAVE BEEN FOUND ON THE COMPUTER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR SYMPTOMS IN REAR WHEEL DRIVE CARS THAT HAVE RESULTED IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THOSE TRANSMISSIONS. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE HONDA REPAIR REPRESENTATIVES THAT THIS ISSUE IS NORMAL FOR THE CAR. IT IS MY OPINION THAT NO NEW CAR SHOULD EXPERIENCE A JERKING MOTION WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. *JS

Summary

AFTER RETURNING FROM AN ERRAND, MY FAMILY AND I WERE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. MY FOUR-YEAR-OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW PASSENGER SIDE AND BUCKLED USING THE CAR'S SEATBELT. HE WAS SITTING IN HIS TODDLER CARSEAT, PER GUIDELINES. IN TRYING TO UNBUCKLE HIMSELF, HE BECAME INEXTRICABLY ENTANGLED IN THE SEATBELT. THE MORE HE OR I TRIED TO FREE HIM; THE TIGHTER THE SEATBELT BECAME AROUND HIS TORSO, EVEN MAKING INDENTATIONS AND ABRASIVE RED MARKS ON HIS SKIN. SINCE I COULD FIND NO WAY TO RELEASE THE TENSION IN THE SEATBELT AND SINCE IT ONLY BECAME TIGHTER BECAUSE OF MY EFFORTS TO FREE HIM, I DECIDED TO SEVER THE SEATBELT, EFFECTIVELY RESOLVING THE TENSION AND ALLOWING HIM TO GET OUT OF THE SEAT. THE INCIDENT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES FROM THE REALIZATION THAT HE WAS ENTANGLED TO THE DECISION TO CUT HIM OUT OF THE SEATBELT. I COULD NOT LIFT HIM OUT OF THE SEATBELT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO TIGHT, AND HE COULDN'T WIGGLE HIS WAY DOWN THE SEAT TO FREE HIMSELF WITHOUT THE BELT WRAPPING AROUND HIS NECK. GIVEN THE SITUATION, SEVERING THE SEATBELT WAS THE BEST AND SAFEST CHOICE TO FREE HIM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY TO RELEASE THE TENSION OF THE SEAT BELTS IN THE THIRD ROW OF HONDA ODYSSEY MODELS, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMILY VEHICLES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN. I HAVE REGISTERED THIS CONCERN WITH HONDA, AND IT HAS BEEN A CASE NUMBER. *TR

Summary

WHILE DRIVING IN THE BAR HARBOR, ME AREA, OUR ODYSSEY WAS BUCKING VIOLENTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS/GEARS. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME IT WAS WHEN WE WERE SPEEDING UP FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT/SIGNAL. IT HAPPENED IN LOWER GEARS (1ST AND 2ND) ALL ON THE SAME DATE. I CALLED A DEALER IN THE LOCAL AREA AND WAS GOING TO TAKE IT IN THE NEXT DAY BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE WITH OUR DEALER IN VIRGINIA AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HADN'T HEARD OF ANY SUCH ISSUES. WELL, AFTER FINDING THIS FORUM, I AM GLAD TO KNOW I DIDN'T IMAGINE ALL OF THIS! *TR

Summary

WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE RETURNING FROM A SHORT SHOPPING TRIP, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE A "CLUNK" NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. IMMEDIATELY UPON HER RETURN HOME, I DROVE THE VAN AROUND THE BLOCK, STOPPING AT EACH INTERSECTION. THE "CLUNK" REPEATED EVERY TIME THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 1ST TO 2ND. I CALLED THE DEALER AND DESCRIBED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHAT WAS HAPPENING, AND HE SAID THAT WE NEEDED TO BRING IT IN, ALTHOUGH THAT WAS OBVIOUS TO US. THE QUESTION WAS WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS SINCE IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY NOISE IN THE HIGHER GEARS. THE NEXT MORNING, I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER, AND OF COURSE, NOTHING HAPPENED. THEY HAD TWO TECHNICIANS DRIVE IT, AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE CONDITION. THEY ALSO HOOKED IT UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, AND THEY SAID THAT IT SHOWED NOTHING. WELL, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS NOT "NOTHING", BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FURTHER AND TO JUST BRING IT IN IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I EXPLAINED THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO GO ON A 3,000 MILE TRIP, AND IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO BRING IT IN WHILE ON THE ROAD. EVEN THOUGH THE VAN IS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD, AND HAS ONLY 6,700 MILES ON IT, I THINK MY WIFE IS READY TO TRADE IT IN. *TR

Summary

AS I ACCELERATED FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND UP A HILL, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED/BUCKED FORWARD AND BACK AT THE POINT WHERE THE CAR APPEARS TO SHIFT GEARS FOR THE FIRST TIME. AS I CONTINUED DRIVING, IT DID THIS EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP. IT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, CAUSING ME TO BRACE IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE FORCE OF THE JERKING. I WAS CONCERNED IN TRAFFIC THAT MY CAR WAS GOING TO LUNGE INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND MADE SURE THAT I PROVIDED FOR EXTRA DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS. AFTER I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I TURNED CAR OFF AND MADE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. HOWEVER, ONCE I GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO RETURN HOME, THE CAR NO LONGER WAS JERKING AROUND. THE HONDA DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR THE NEXT DAY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

Summary

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT 5 TO 20 MPH DURING ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION MAKES CLUNK NOISE AND JERKS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM TRANSMISSION FOR FEW SECONDS AND SUDDENLY SHIFT GEARS WITH JERK AND PUSHES THE VEHICLE (FEELS SOMEONE IS HITTING FROM BACK). THIS ISSUE IS RANDOM DURING TRAFFIC LIGHTS, HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FREEWAY MERGE. HAVING KIDS ON THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING IS BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS BEHAVIOR WILL LIKELY HIT OTHER VEHICLES AS ACCELERATION IS EXCEPTIONALLY SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT RESPOND. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ABOVE 45 MPH AND DRIVES WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. VEHICLE BEEN TO DEALER SERVICE CENTER TWICE BUT THEY SAID WE ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE IT AND IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RAISED TO HONDA BY MANY OWNERS BUT SO FAR NO UPDATE FROM THEM. HERE ARE SOME REF.

Summary

ON SATURDAY JULY 19TH MY SON ALMOST CHOKED TO DEATH ON THE MIDDLE ROW SEATBELT. I HAVE THREE YOUNG KIDS OF 7,6 AND 4. THE 7 AND 6 WERE PLAYING AND SUDDENLY THE SEATBELT WRAPPED AROUND MY SONS NECK. MY WIFE QUICKLY ATTEMPTED TO UNATTACHED AND UNTANGLE AND SHE COULD NOT. THE SEATBELT JUST GOT TIGHTER AND TIGHTER AND THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY RELEASE BUTTON EITHER FROM THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF THE SEATBELT. I QUICKLY HELD HIM UP IN THE AIR SIDEWAYS TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE AIR WHILE MY WIFE RUN TO A STRANGER'S HOUSE TO BORROW SCISSORS. THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO RELEASE HIM FREE WAS TO CUT THE SEATBELT. WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED TO MY SON, ONLY BRUISES AROUND HIS NECK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA CORPORATION SHOULD BE AWARE OFF AND TAKEN CAREFUL INVESTIGATION. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY REALLY DON'T CARE MUCH. THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEATBELT AND IT'S WORKING THE WAY IT IS. I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY CASE WOULD BE CLOSED. THEY ARE RUDE AND NO SYMPATHY TO WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THE SECOND TIME I SPOKE TO A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE I TOLD THEM AGAIN THAT THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE, AS I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. THEY REFUSED AND ONLY STATE THAT THEY WILL PUT IT IN THE NOTES. *TR

IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, BEGAN NEW LEASE FOR 3RD HONDA ODYSSEY AFTER HAVING TWO PREVIOUS AND LOVING THEM. ON MAY 23RD, MY VAN HAD NO SOUND OF LEFT (DRIVER'S) SIDE UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF AND HAS NOT RECURRED. TWO DAYS LATER, HOWEVER, TURN SIGNALS BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING WITH CONTINUOUS BLINKING AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. VAN WAS LOOKED AT DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL, AS PROBLEMS DID NOT REOCCUR FOR THEM. ON VACATION, I WAS STRANDED WITH A BROKEN FUEL DOOR AND DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR THAT WAS TEMP FIXED BY DEALERSHIP THERE. ON WAY HOME FROM VACATION, CRUISE CONTROL INTERMITTENTLY DID NOT RESPOND CORRECTLY WHEN IN USE IN BOTH THE SET AND RESUME FUNCTIONS. UPON RETURNING HOME, DEALERSHIP FIXED FUEL AND PASSENGER DOORS, HAD VAN FOR A WEEK TO ADDRESS ISSUES THAT ARE MORE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER-RELATED IN NATURE, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE, NOR ISOLATE PROBLEMS. VAN RETURNED TO ME WITH BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY ISSUES. TURN SIGNALS AND CRUISE CONTROL CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION, AND DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY.

Summary

IN THE 6 MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED A NEW 2014 ODYSSEY, THERE IS A LARGE AREA OF STREAKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD EVERY TIME THE WIPERS GO INTO RESTING POSITION. THIS IS A STREAK ABOUT 5 INCHES WIDE, ACROSS THE FIELD OF VISION FOR THE DRIVER. THE WINDSHIELD IS CLEAR WHEN THE WIPERS GO TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE STREAK APPEARS EVERY TIME THE WIPERS GO DOWN. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE WIPERS THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, AND POLISHED THE GLASS WITH STEEL WOOL ON THE LAST VISIT. UPON PICKING UP THE CAR, THE WINDSHIELD STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANAGER STATED THAT HONDA IS "WORKING ON THIS ISSUE", AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR US AT THIS TIME. ORIGINALLY, HOWEVER, HE HAD STATED THAT PERHAPS THE WINDSHIELD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A DEFECT. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE DECREASED VISIBILITY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. *TR

BARELY OVER 1 MONTH AGO I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS IS FIRST NEW VEHICLE I HAVE BOUGHT IN YEARS. BIG MISTAKE. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATION, THE VANS JERKS, SHUDDERS AND MAKE LOUD CLUNKING NOISES. AFTER I START THE VAN AND TRY TO ENGAGE IN REVERSE IT GOES NO WHERE...THE SAME THING STARTED HAPPENING WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. I TOOK IT TOO THE DEALERSHIP THAT WEEKEND AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A COMPUTER UPDATE THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM... IT DIDN'T. TWO DAYS LATER I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD THEM IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WANTED IT FIXED. THAT WAS 2 WEEKS AGO. THAT IS 2 WEEKS THAT THEY HAVE HAD MY "NEW" VAN THAT I AM PAYING DEARLY FOR. THEY HAVE ADMITTED TO FEELING THE PROBLEMS AND CLAIM THEY CALLED THE HONDA TECH LINE WHO STATES I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. NEXT WEEK THEY ARE INSTALLING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRY NEW THINGS UNTIL THEY FIND A SOLUTION. I LOVE THE FACT THAT I AM MAKING A PAYMENT FOR THEM TO PLAY WITH MY VAN AS THE TEST DUMMY. IF I WANTED A VAN WITH ALL THESE REPLACEMENTS I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN OLD ONE AND HAD EVERYTHING REBUILT AND SAVED ALOT OF MONEY AND TIME THAT A WORKING MOTHER OF 3 KIDS DOES NOT HAVE. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!! PLEASE DO YOU HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS YEAR MODEL OF VAN. *TR

TRANSMISSION MAKES LOUD CLANKING NOISE AND SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY AT 10-20 MPH DURING ACCELERATION. ACCELERATION THROUGHOUT RANGE IS EXCEPTIONALLY SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT ENGAGE "PASSING GEAR" AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MAKING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT LOW AND HIGHER SPEEDS. PROBLEM STOPS WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND RE-STARTED, BUT MAY REAPPEAR. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND STATES HONDA HAS HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SAME. HOWEVER, I FOUND ALMOST EXACT SAME/SIMILAR COMPLAINT AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM WITHIN SECONDS OF SEARCHING. I SUSPECT IT'S HAPPENING TO MORE PEOPLE. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE FACT THIS VEHICLE IS VERY LIKELY TO BE USED FOR HAULING CHILDREN. *TR

Summary

1. I BOUGHT A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY AROUND NEW YEAR WITH KEYLESS IGNITION. 2. WITH THIS CAR I CAN TURN OFF THE ENGINE WITH THE CAR STILL IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THEN I CAN OPEN THE DOORS AND WALK AWAY. AS IS THE NORM, NOTHING OBLIGES ME TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CAR CAN BEGIN TO ROLL, ENDANGERING OCCUPANTS, PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER CARS. 3. THIS IS A BAD ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I'VE ALREADY ROLLED TWICE AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND MY BOYS OPENING THE SIDE DOORS. 4. EVERY CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN FOR 40+ YEARS, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT FIRST SHIFTING TO PARK. 5. I'VE OWNED NEW HONDAS FOR 20+ YEARS. FROM TIME TO TIME I WOULD GET RECALL NOTICES ABOUT CARS ROLLING WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T. THE SITUATION NEVER APPLIED TO ME BUT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE - WORTHY OF A GENERAL RECALL. *TR

Summary

AS I WAS TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND MY LEGS ONLY ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING AND HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES SO HARD WITH MY ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT ON IT TO MAKE IT STOP - HAD I LEFT A FRACTION LOOSE THE CAR WOULD HAVE JUST TAKEN OFF... SO SCARY AND NOT SAFE AT ALL... THE WEIRD THING IS THAT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THE NEXT 50+ MILES I DROVE... BUT THIS INCIDENT MAKES SURE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE FOR ANY ONE TO DRIVE. I'D LIKE TO LODGE THIS COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE AND THAT THE VEHICLE TAKEN AWAY FOR R&D TO RESOLVE.. HONDA DEALER IS CLAIMING THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE AND THAT I MAY HAVE PRESSED THE GAS ALONG WITH THE BRAKES AND WAS TALKING ABOUT THE TOYOTA CAMRY ISSUE AIMLESSLY AND HAD ASKED ME TO HAVE A TEST DRIVE AND TRYING TO TALK ME OUT OF THIS... *TR

Summary

DRIVING APPROX 25MPH THROUGH TOWN WHEN ENGINE RPMS INCREASED A BIT AS IT BRIEFLY SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, THEN IT CAUGHT ITSELF AND ABRUPTLY WENT INTO APPROX 5TH GEAR (6 SPEED TRANSMISSION). FROM THERE VEHICLE WAS ONLY USING 2 GEARS (~2ND AND 5TH) AND EVERY TIME IT UP SHIFTED INTO 5TH (FROM A STOPLIGHT, ETC.) IT WAS VERY ABRUPT, AND MADE A LOUD CLUNK NOISE - IT WAS SO HARD IT FELT LIKE THE POWERTRAIN WAS GOING TO BE RIPPED OFF THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT (SERIOUSLY). IMMEDIATELY LIMPED VEHICLE TO CLOSEST DEALER. DEALER REPLICATED EVENT AND DETERMINED TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OVERFILLED (APPROX HALF A QUART). THIS WAS AN ISSUE FROM THE FACTORY AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS. THE SELLING DEALER DID NOT COVER/DISCOVER THIS OVERFILL AS PART OF THE VEHICLE SELL CHECKLIST PROCESS (IF I WERE THEM, NOT SURE I WOULD HAVE NOTICED A HALF-QUART EITHER). APPARENTLY A HALF QUART MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE INTERNAL PRESSURE OF THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSED THIS ISSUE. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OR OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE OR CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS BAD ENOUGH LIMPING THROUGH TOWN. DEALER REMOVED EXCESS FLUID AND APPEARS TO BE OPERATING FINE (ALTHOUGH I NOW QUESTION THE LONGEVITY OF THE TRANSMISSION AFTER THIS INCIDENT). THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE DURING ASSEMBLY AND I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. I ONLY ASSUMING THAT A ROBOT WAS INADVERTENTLY OVERFILLING THE FLUID ON A BUNCH OF TRANSMISSIONS ALONG THE WAY. CAN PROVIDE VIN AS NECESSARY. *TR

Summary

WINDSHIELD WAVY/BLURRY: THEY SAID I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST OF 2014 ODYSSEY OWNERS. BUT AT THE FIRST MOMENT OF DRIVING I FELT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WINDSHIELD. I TOLD THE HONDA SALES PERSON THAT I FEEL BLURRY VISION WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS THE GLASS IS WAVY. HE SAID BECAUSE I AM DRIVING THE FIRST TIME THAT'S WHY IT SEEMS LIKE THAT. AFTER ONE WEEK OF DRIVING I WAS SO SURE ABOUT THAT. WHEN I DRIVE SPECIALLY IN THE HIGHWAY WITH HIGHER MPH I FEEL DIZZY. THE HONDA SERVICE PERSON DROVE AND TOLD ME THAT HE CANT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE GLASS IS FINE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW I FEEL DIZZY EVEN AFTER FEW HOURS OF DRIVING. EITHER THERE ARE SOME PROBLEM ON WINDSHIELD OR MY EYES HAVE PROBLEM. THE CHANCE OF THE FIRST ONE IS MORE. I HAD HONDA ACCORD 2012 WHICH ONE I HAVE TRADED WITH THIS ODYSSEY. PREVIOUS ONE WAS VERY PLEASANT TO DRIVE. NOW I AM NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL. *TR
