TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE OF ENGINE RPMS. AFTER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY BOTH FEET TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP TO INSPECT AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,420.

BACK IN JUN 2013, I NOTICED "PASSENGER SIDE" TAIL LIGHT (REVERSE GEAR LIGHT BOX) WAS FULL OF WATER AFTER RAIN. APPROX MILEAGE WAS 28,000. I HAD IT REPLACED WITHIN A MONTH BECAUSE IT MIGHT CAUSE SERIOUS ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT ISSUES. NOW 2 YEARS AFTER IN JULY 2015, I SEE ANOTHER SIDE WHICH IS "DRIVER SIDE" TAIL LIGHT IS BEING FILLED WITH WATER AFTER EACH RAIN. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS NOW 35,800. I BELIEVE PARTS ON RIGHT SIDE AND LEFT SIDE BOTH WERE FAULTY AND FAILED WITHIN 35,000 MILES AND 5 YEARS. PER TECHNICIAN, THIS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ELECTRIC CIRCUIT ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL GAUGE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

TAIL LIGHTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER PENETRATION WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS APPLIES TO THE PORTION OF THE TAIL LIGHT WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR HATCH DOOR. WATER ACCUMULATES IN THE WHITE PART OF THE LENS WHICH IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TAIL LIGHT IN 201 VAN (I.E., THE BACK UP LIGHTS). THERE IS APPARENTLY A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE SEALED LIGHT SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD THE GASKET ON THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT REPLACED IN MY 2010 ODYSSEY DUE TO WATER PENETRATION & COLLECTION. THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AND THE DEALER CONFIRMED NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE GASKET. *TR

STEERING HAS DISTINCTIVE NOTCH FEEL. DEALER INDICATES U-JOINT ON INTERMEDIATE SHAFT IS WORN. THIS APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO PROBLEMS IN EARLIER MODELS AND OTHER HONDA PRODUCTS. CURRENTLY FINDING PARTS TO MAKE REPAIRS. *TR

AUTOMATIC DEVELOPED A HITCH AT ABOUT 40 MPH. JARRED VEHICLE. HONDA DIAGNOSED A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, SPECIFICALLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. I SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR VEHICLES 2009 AND BEFORE IN YOUR DATA BASE THAT SAYS THIS IS INITIATED BY A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. SINCE THE 2010 IS THE SAME AS THE 2009, THIS IS LIKELY A SIMILAR ISSUE. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL / ABS ACTIVATES WHILE TURNING AT 10 - 30 MPH REGARDLESS OF ROAD CONDITIONS. HONDA DEALER INDICATES THE YAW RATE CLUSTER SENSOR FOR ABS REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A KNOW DEFECT THAT WAS RECALLED ON 2008 AND EARLIER HONDA ODYSSEY PRODUCTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE SAME PART IS USED UP TO 2011. HONDA SAYS THIS IS MY PROBLEM, THERE IS NO DEFECT. *TR

POWER STEERING PUMP HIGH WHINING NOISE AND A TIMES - LOW SPEEDS, PARKING - STEERING DIFFICULT TO OPERATE AT TIMES. *TR
