2007 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 MODEL HONDA ODESSEY, ON JUNE 5TH 2018 WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS, VEHICLE SHUT OFF, DASH WENT OFF. TRIED TO APPLY BRAKE, IT DIDN'T WORK. SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PUT THE PARK GEAR TO PULL OVER TO A LEFT TURN LINE TO AVOID COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. 911 WAS ALERTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BLOCKING THE LEFT TURN LINE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO EVEN OPEN THE DOOR TO COME OUT OF THE VAN. AFTER FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT ON AND THERE WAS NO ENGINE SIGN. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED. I CONTINUED DRIVING THE VAN HOME. AFTER TWO WEEKS THE ENGINE SIGN CAME UP AND WE TOOK IT TO THE HONDA AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHICH CAUSES THIS ENGINE SHUTDOWN ABRUPTLY. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER TWO DAYS THE BATTERY WENT DOWN. SO WE REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE. ON JULY 21, MY COUSIN WAS DRIVING THE VAN AND THE SAME HAPPENED AGAIN. HE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AGAIN AND HE RODE BACK AND PARKED AT HIS HOUSE. ON JULY 24TH, WE TRIED TO TURN IT ON BUT THE BATTERY WAS DOWN. WE JUMP STARTED IT ON 27TH AND TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT IT DOING SEVERAL TESTS UNTIL JULY 31ST AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY OK'D US TO TAKE THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE . WE ARE VERY MUCH CONCERNED TO RIDE IT AGAIN FEAR OF SAFETY TO OUR OWN LIFE AND THE OTHER INNOCENT FELLOWS ON THE ROAD. WE REPORTED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SUGGESTED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WHEN WE DRIVE THE VAN. WE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND FEW OTHERS HAS REPORTED THE SAME KIND OF INCIDENTS FOR THE SAME MODEL BUT DIFFERENT YEAR. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA INVESTIGATE ON THIS ISSUE AND GIVE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS

MY BACK PASSENGERDOOR BEEN ACTING UP SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY I WILL HIT THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE PASSENGERBACK DOOR IT WILL START OPENING AND ALL A SUDDEN IT WILL JUST START SHUTTINGON PEOPLEI HAVE TO HIT THE BUTTON TO STOP IT FROM SHUTTING ON PEOPLE AND WHEN MY FUELGET DOWN TO A QUARTER OF A TANK MY FUEL PUMP START MAKING A WEIRD SOUND UNTIL I FILL MY TANK UP WITH FUEL THEN WHEN IT GET LOW AGAIN IT START MAKING THE SOUND AGAIN AND I HAVE HAD MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE ALREADY CHANGE MY BRAKES 3 TIMES ALREADY AND CHANGE MY ROTORS ONCE

WE BOUGHT THIS 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND EVER SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT, IT WILL JUST KEEP GOING FOR AWHILE AT THE SAME SPEED WE HAD IT AT, EVEN THOUGH WE TAKE OUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. WE HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO STOP, OR IT WILL PULL A BIT HARD ON THE BRAKES. WE CAN STOP IT LIKE THIS, BUT IT WILL WEAR THE BRAKES OUT FAST. ALSO, WHEN WE PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT SPEEDS UP A LITTLE. IT WILL JUST GO DOWN THE ROAD SLOWLY WITHOUT PUTTING OUR FOOT ON THE GAS. IF WE LEAVE IT IN REVERSE, IT WILL ACCELERATE RIGHT THROUGH THE GARAGE, IF WE LET IT. AFTER IT IS IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS, IT FINALLY GOES BACK DOWN TO A REGULAR RPM, BUT GOES BACK UP EVERY 6 SECONDS OR SO, THEN BACK DOWN, ETC... ALSO, WHEN IT IS IDLING, AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT REVS UP AGAIN ON IT'S OWN. WE HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, AND HAD IT COMPLETELY CHECKED ON A SCANNER, AND NOTHING CAME UP; EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD ON THE SCANNER.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. SIDEWALL BLEW A LARGE SQUARE HOLE, SEPERATING FROM BEAD. TIRES HAD APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES ON THEM.

MY VAN CAUGHT ON FIRE BUT WAS NOT LISTED AS RECALLED IN 2014. IT STARTED TO SMELL FUNNY AND WHEN I PULLED OVER, THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS ALREADY IN FLAMES.

NOT SURE OF RECALLS BUT WHAT I FO KNOW IS DANBURY AUTO OF DANBURY CT. SOLD ME THIS MINI VAN AT TGE RND OF NOVRMBER 2017 ALMODT IMMEDIATELY I NEEDED POWER STEERING PUMP WHICH BN I REPLACED IN THE PROCESS I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST DONE AT HONDA OF HARTFORD CT.

VSA LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 2000 RPMS AND THE STEERING GETS HARD. THE BRAKES GO TO FLOOR MAKING HARD BRAKE FEEL. THIS HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE SECURELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT DECLINED TO DO SO DUE TO THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED (5-10 MPH) AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. FEB 1, 2018 AND FEB 14, 2018. THE PROBLEM CAUSED MINOR ACCIDENTS IN BOTH CASES. ON FEB 1, THE CAR WAS IN A PARKING LOT, PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AND RAN OVER A HANDICAPPED PARKING SIGN. ON FEB 14, IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO A TRACTOR-TRAILER CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ODYSSEY, BUT NOT TO THE TRACTOR TRAILER. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP MAINTAINS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OR ACCELERATOR. AS THE OWNER, I AM CONVINCED THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND IN FACT WE HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE CAR AND BOUGHT A NEW ONE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT 22 OTHER PEOPLE HAD HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 ODYSSEY. I'M CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NEED FOR A RECALL, BUT HONDA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM.

HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE ISSUES FROM HONDA OF AMERICA AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE ODYSSEY'S SAFETY. THIS VAN HAS HAD ISSUES SINCE NEW THAT HONDA HAS CONSISTENTLY ATTEMPTED TO AVOID DEALING WITH. VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS HAS SUDDENLY HEAVY AND TROUBLESOME STEERING AFFECTED STEERING RESPONSE AND VEHICLE DIRECTION WHEN TURNING. BRAKE PEDAL FEEL WHEN SLOWING IN ANY FORWARD/REVERSE DIRECTION IS UNRESPONSIVE INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE AND AFFECTING EMERGENCY MANEUVERS. DEALERSHIP/ HONDA HAS NOT AND WILL NOT ACCEPT LIABILITY!
