2010 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS HONDA FOR 4,300 AND THE GUY SOLD IT TO ME WITH 90,000 MILES BUT I FOUND OUT THAT THE SPEED ODOMETER WAS CHANGED AND IT ACTUALLY HAS 228K MILES. WHEN I RECIEVED THE TITLE IT SAID THE ODOMETER WAS CHANGED BUT THEY NEVER TOLD ME ANYTHING WHEN I BOUGHT IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I BOUGHT THE VAN IN DALLAS TEXAS IN A DEALER.

DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION MY CAR ENGINE FAILED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. MY WIFE WAS ABOUT TO GO ON A TRIP AND FORTUNATELY WE HAD IT LOOKED AT OR ELSE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS DANGER OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN INSIDE. I WROTE 2 LETTERS TO HONDA ASKING FOR A NEW CAR OR A CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW CAR. THE SECOND LETTER I RECEIVED A CALL STATING SINCE I DID NOT OWN THE CAR THEY COULD NOT ASSIST ME. THE GIRL, STEVIE, TOLD ME IF I WROTE MORE LETTERS THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED HARASSMENT????

THIS VEHICLE SPEED FROM 50 TO 70 MILES IF TAKE BRAKE THE CAR VIBRATE, THAT START FROM AROUND 30,000 MILES. AFTER FIXED IT, ABOUT 5,000 MILES, VIBRATE AGAIN. NOW THE TOTAL MILEAGE IS 79,300, ALREADY FIXED 3 TIMES. I FOUND HONDA ALL CAR MODEL HAS THE SAME ISSUE (ALL MY FRIENDS' DIFFERENT HONDA CAR MODELS) . ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHEN DRIVE FEELING A STRONG VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL WHEN ACCELERATION FEELING FROM THIS APRIL 2017. LAST WEEK JUST FIXED IT, DEALER CHANGED BOTH SIDE OF DRIVESHAFT ASSY-. CAR DEALER TALKED TO ME MANUFACTURE USED THE BAD PARTS MAY FROM 2008 TO 2012.

SPONTANOUSLY THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70MPH, THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. IT WAS CLOSED AT TIME, ALL GLASS BEHIND CAR.

VEHICLE BURNS OIL. OIL LIGHT ON DASH WILL ILLUMINATE AND DIPSTICK WILL BE DRY WHEN CHECKED. REQUIRES OPERATOR TO ADD NEW OIL BETWEEN ROUTINE OIL CHANGES. ON BOARD COMPUTER WILL INDICATE SIGNIFICANT OIL LIFE REMAINING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

NOW WE'VE ALL HAD MANY CARS AND SOME DO BETTER THAN OTHERS. THE HONDA PAINT HAS TO RANK LAST ON A LONG LIST OF PAST PAINT JOBS. IT HAS LITERALLY PEELED OFF THE TOP OF THE CAR BY THE WINDOW AND SUNROOF AND HAS LOST ITS CLEAR COAT SO THE PAINT JUST DOESN'T LOOK GOOD. WHEN YOU ASK THEM ABOUT IT THEY RESPONDED WE DON'T COVER THAT . HONDA, YOU MAKE SUCH A GOOD CAR BUT CANT GET THE PAINT RIGHT? C'MON. I SEE MORE WHITE HONDA VANS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS MINE. THIS IS AWFUL WE HAVE NOW MADE A GAME OUT OF IT CALLED I SPY, WHO CAN FIND THE WHITE HONDA ODYSSEY WITH THE SAME PAINT PEELING SPOTS LIKE OURS. WE DO A LOT OF DRIVING LOCAL AND ROAD TRIPS.YOU WOULD BE AMAZED HOW MANY THERE ARE OUT THERE. HONDA THERE IS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO. ITS EMBARRASSING TO DIVE THIS CAR AROUND. BUT ITS A GREAT RUNNING CAR WITH NOTHING WRONG PUT THE PAINT PEELING. NOT COOL.

PAINT/CLEAR-COAT ON THE ROOF PREMATURELY DETERIORATED CAUSING SIGNIFICANT BLEMISHES ABOVE FRONT WINDSHIELD, SIDE, AND REAR WINDOWS.

THE FRONT DOOR DETENTS ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH, AND THEY WILL ALLOW THE DOOR TO CLOSE BY ITSELF. IF YOU ARE ON AN INCLINE, OR IT IS A WINDY DAY, THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, AND MYSELF, WHEN GETTING IN OR OUT OF THE VEHILCE. OF NOTE, HONDA USES THE SAME DETENT, WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER, ON A CIVIC, WHICH HAS A MUCH SMALLER AND LIGHTER DOOR, AS IT DOES ON THE ODYSSEY, WHICH HAS A MUCH LARGER DOOR. I CURRENTLY OWN A 2003 CHRYSLER VAN, AND A 1998 BMW, AND NEITHER OF WHICH HAVE THIS PROBLEM. AND FOR THAT MATTER, NONE OF THE OTHER CARS I HAVE OWNED HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION IS A SIMPLE REDESIGN OF THE DOOR DETENT TO ACCOUNT FOR THE HEAVIER ODYSSEY DOOR. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. ALSO OF NOTE, I DID REPLACE THE DOOR DETENT, AND THE NEW DETENT IS AS BAD AS THE OLD DETENT. A REDESIGN IS REQUIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHEN SHE TRIED TO AVOID HITTING A DEER. THE VEHICLE VEERED OFF THE ROAD, HIT A DRAINAGE CULVERT, A TWO FOOT BOULDER, A MAILBOX, SKID ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY, HIT ANOTHER DRAINAGE CULVERT, AND CAME TO A REST IN A DITCH THAT RAN PARALLEL WITH THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AND TIRE WERE INSIDE THE DOOR HINGES, THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE CORNER BUMPER, FENDER, AND DOOR WERE DESTROYED. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL, SUSPENSION, SUBFRAME, FLOOR, AND INNER STRUCTURE WERE ALSO DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,244.

PURCHASED THIS VAN 03/24/16.. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I PULLED OVER CHECK THE DIP STICK AND THERE WAS BUT A DROP OF OIL IN IT ...I TOOK A TAXI TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION BOUGHT 3 BOTTLES OF OIL AND I ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL THAT DAY, I HAD CALLED 2 DAYS PRIOR TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD WAIT TILL ITS AT 15%(IT WAS AT 30% WHEN I CALLED) THEN 2 DAYS IN THE LIGHT CAME ON... I DIDN'T DRIVE THE VAN AFTER I GOT HOME TILL THE DATE OF THE APPOINTMENT 08/18/16, THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PLACE THE VAN ON A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND I MUST CHECK THE OIL LEVELS EACH TIME I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION.. AND RETURN AFTER 1000 MILES ( BASICALLY I HEAR DRIVE UNTIL THE ENGINE BRAKES AN THEN IT WILL COST YOU TO FIX OR REPLACE CAUSE YOUR AT FAULT) AN ENGINE SHOULD BE USING OIL AND THE DEALER SHOULD KNOW WHERE THE OIL IS GOING, DON'T TELL ME ITS NORMAL TO BURN AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL ITS NOT**** I KNOW ABOUT VEHICLES ... THEN TO CLEAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEY SAY I HAVE TO PAY FOR AN SOFTWARE UPDATE (4 MTHS AFTER BUYING THIS VAN) AND I HAVE A 2 YEAR WARRANTY FOR THIS VAN... TO MUCH DECEIT WITH THESE DEALERS
