2014 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

ON JUNE 21, 2019 MY FAMILY WAS RETURNING HOME FROM THE BEACH (PCB), AND ABOUT 3 HOURS INTO THE TRIP ON US 431 NORTH, AROUND 1 PM WE HEARD A LOUD BOOM OR POP ON THE ROOF. SOUND LIKE A SHOT GUN ACCORDING TO WIFE. WE PULLED OVER AND SUNROOF HAD 16 INCH SEEM CRACK ACROSS THE SUNROOF. ONE SIDE OF CRACKED GLASS WAS RAISED ABOUT 1/4 INCH. WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE 25 MPH ON SHOULDER AS WE WHERE IN NOWHERE, ALABAMA. ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES LATER WE STOPPED AND 1 X 4" GLASS HOLE IN SUNROOF. WE CONTINUED DRIVING AND WITHIN MINUTES THE HOLE BECAME A 1 FT X 2 FT HOLE IN SUNROOF. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. WE PASSED NO CARS OR OVERPASS'S WHEN SUNROOF EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. NO HOUSES OR BUSINESSES WITHIN 5 MILES ACCORDING TO SEALE POLICE OFFICER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND DID NOT CHANGE GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERGSTROM HONDA (LOCATED AT 3285 S WASHBURN ST, OSHKOSH, WI 54904) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

REAR WINDOW EXPLODED WHEN DRIVERS DOOR SHUT WITH NO UNUSUAL FORCE -- JUST SHUTTING THE DOOR AS NORMAL. THE THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 8AM. THE CAR WAS PARKED/STATIONARY. THE SHATTERING LEFT A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A BOWLING BALL BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE. GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE; LUCKILY MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME. INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR AIR TEMPS WERE NOT EXTREME. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING THAT HIT THE WINDOW. SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE AROUND AT THE TIME AND NOBODY SAW ANYTHING UNUSUAL.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND CAR BEGIN MISFIRING. 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." HONDA OF AMERICA SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE BRAKING AT 50+MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR OVER A YEAR. WE HAVE HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED, THE ROTORS AND BREAK PADS ARE GOOD. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARD AND HONDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONCORD HONDA (1461 CONCORD AVE, CONCORD, CA 94520, (855) 679-6829) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED AND UPGRADED FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PAINT PEELING ON ROOF. COLOR IS WHITE PEARL ODYSSEY 2014 . I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A FLUTTER AND SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS PAPER FLYING THROUGH MY BACK WINDOW. THE NEXT DAY I SAW THAT PAINT HAD PEELED OFF THE ROOF OF THE VAN.

OUR 2014 DIAMOND WHITE PEARL HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A FACTORY PAINT DEFECT CALLED DELAMINATION. THE PAINT STARTED PEELING OFF IN SHEETS / LARGE SECTIONS FROM THE ROOF IN JANUARY 2019 AND THEN THE TAILGATE IN FEBRUARY 2019. THE WHITE PAINT BASE COAT IS CLEANLY SEPARATING FROM THE ED PRIMER. 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. ANYTHING WHITE FROM HONDA AND EVEN ACURA, MADE IN THEIR USA & MEXICO FACTORIES. CBS 2 LOS ANGELES NO HAS AN OPEN AND ONGOING INVESTIGATION AS WELL: HTTPS://LOSANGELES.CBSLOCAL.COM/VIDEO/PROGRAM/1200/4059251-2-ON-YOUR-SIDE-PEELING-CAR-PAINT/ ALL WE WANT IS HONDA USA TO COVER THIS DEFECT 100%, AND IF THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THESE WHITE HONDA'S TO OWNERS NOT LETTING THEM KNOW THE PAINT WILL ONLY LAST BETWEEN 3-5 YEARS THEY ARE PRACTICING IN CONSUMER FRAUD. INDUSTRY STANDARD IS FOR A CARS PAINT TO LAST A MINIMUM OF 10 YEARS UNDER NORMAL USE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, SAW A BOW TIE SHAPED HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MOONROOF. WHEN I HEARD THE NOISE, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH IN A LOCAL STREET IN START STOP TRAFFIC DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE. TEMPERATURES WERE MILD, AND THERE WERE NO LARGE VEHICLES OR FLYING DEBRIS AROUND THAT I NOTICED THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE HOLE. I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS AROUND MY FAMILY, AND WAS QUOTED ABOUT $900 FOR PARTS AND LABOR.
