2009 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE WEARING AT A VERY LOW MILEAGE. A GRINDING NOISE COULD BE HEARD WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT ANY SPEED, SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS LATER, ALL OF THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR POWER LIFTGATE WAS OPENED WITHOUT MANUAL ASSIST.

THE POWER BACK HATCH ON MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL SLAMS SHUT AND WILL NOT HOLD. THE POWER BACK HATCH OPENS ALL THE WAY UP, TRIES TO STAY UP BUT SLAMS BACK DOWN. IT FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT IS FAILING ALL THE TIME NOW. THE HATCH SLAMS WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE AND IF ANY OF MY 3 KIDS ARE IN THE VICINITY IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. A VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I HAVE A FULL FRONT TO BACK WARRANTY AND APPARENTLY IT DOES NOT COVER THE BACK HATCH. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CHECK OIL LIGHT WARNING LIGHTS GO ON. WHEN DEALER IMMEDIATELY CHECKS OIL UPON ARRIVING AT DEALERSHIP, DIPSTICK SHOWS NO OIL. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES SINCE 10/09. *LN

THE VEHICLE, A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY, HAS A SOFT SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL THAT OCCASSIONALLY GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING PAST STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS WHILE THE PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. THE MOST RECENT EPISODE OCCURRED IN A PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 25MPH. UPON APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS UNCOMMANDED ENGINE ACCELERATION, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE TRAVELING WELL PAST A STOP SIGN. OPERATOR TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND DISCUSSED POSSIBLE BRAKE PROBLEMS, INCLUDING REPORTS OF FAULTY VSA MODULAR PUMPS, AND POSSIBLE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, SAID THE BRAKES WERE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION, AND THAT THE OPERATION IS "NORMAL." THE OPERATOR HAS OWNED MANY CARS, INCLUDING OTHER HONDA PRODUCTS, AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS CONDITION IN THE PAST. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FELT STRONG VIBRATION ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKES AT 50 MPH. THE VIBRATIONS IS FELT STRONGER AT 50 MPH OR ABOVE. IT CAUSING A HIGH VIBRATION ON THE STEERING WHEEL. NO CRASHES AT THIS TIME. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IS ON WARRANTY, DEALER INFORMED DEFECTIVE ROTORS AND ROTORS WERE UNEVEN AND NEED RESURFACE, ROTORS ARE COVERED BY WARRANTY FOR JUST 10KMILES, VEHICLE HAS 20K MILES, DEALER BLAMES BAD ROTORS ON BAD DRIVING. I BELIEVE THEY ARE WRONG I HAVE TWO OTHER HONDA AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH ROTORS AT THAT EARLY STAGE OF DRIVING MILEAGE. *TR
