THE FIRST TIME WE HAD AN ISSUE WE WERE IN THE COUNTRY AND WE STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. WE PUT THE SWITCH ON MANUAL HOWEVER THE DOOR WOULD STILL NOT CLOSE. WE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE LINE THAT WORKS THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE CUT TO CLOSE THE DOOR. WITHIN A WEEK THE OTHER DOOR STARTED NOT OPENING AND CLOSING PROPERLY EVEN WHEN IT WAS SET FOR MANUAL USE. WE WERE THE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DOOR FLEW OPEN. WE DID CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER ITS THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILTY TO PAY TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ABNORMALLY.

WHILE BACKING UP SLOWLY (APPX. 2 MPH), THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT REAR WHEEL MADE LIGHT CONTACT WITH THE CURB. THE STEEL STEERING KNUCKLE (OFTEN CALLED THE SPINDLE) FOR THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE WHEEL SHEERED OFF, MAKING IT INOPERABLE. THIS WAS WITNESSED BY BYSTANDERS WHO CAN ATTEST THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A VERY LOW SPEED. THREE MECHANICS HAVE STATED THAT SUCH A FAILURE SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED, IN ANY SITUATION. NEVERTHELESS, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FACTORY-INSTALLED KNUCKLE WAS FAULTY AND WILL NOT TELL ME HOW MANY OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED. THEY REFUSE TO COVER ANY PORTION OF THE COST OF WHAT OTHERS HAVE CLASSIFIED AS AN UNPRECEDENTED FAILURE. *JS

VAN HAS A SIGNIFICANT SHAKE (OR "JUDDER", SHUDDER, VIBRATION, OR SHIMMY) WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 50 AND 75 MPH. ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES, SIMILAR TO ONE OR MORE TIRES BEING OUT OF BALANCE BUT MUCH WORSE. JUDDER GOES AWAY COMPLETELY AND INSTANTLY WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. DURING THIS PERIOD I HAD THREE ALL-WHEEL ALIGNMENTS AND SEVERAL TIRE BALANCINGS, BUT NOTHING WORK. IT WAS ONLY RECENTLY WHEN I NOTICED IT ONLY OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING AND SO IT WASN'T A TIRE OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. *TR
