2010 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT THE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND SLOW TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT ALSO HAPHAZARDLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THREE YEARS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE OPERATING AS DESIGNED EACH TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WAS DRIVING ON ND HWY. 15. THE DRIVER'S SLIDING DOOR WOULD COME UNLATCHED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH. PUSH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LATCH BUTTON AGAIN AND IT STAYED LATCHED FOR ABOUT 7 MILES AND IT WOULD UNLATCH ITSELF AND THE ALARM WOULD GO OFF. TELLING YOU THE SLIDINGDOOR WAS UNLATCHED. I TOOK THE VAN TO RYDELL'S HONDA DEALER IN GRAND FORKS, ND THEY REPLACE THE LATCH AND ROLLERS ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS. THEY SAID IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS AND THE ROLLERS AND LATCHES WOULD GET WORE BECAUSE THE ROLLERS AND PART OF THE LATCH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. HONDA SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US TO TRY TO KEEP THE ROLLER GUIDES CLEAN AND PRESSURE WASH THE ROLLER GUIDE REALLY WELL. WE DID THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR CLEAN THE THE GUIDES BIWEEKLY AND WE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES AGAIN. THIS TIME HONDA REPLACED ON LATCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THREE WEEKS LATER THE OTHER SIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TOO. WE WERE LUCKILY THIS ONLY HAD HAPPEN CLOSE TO TOWN AND WE NEVER WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DOORS WOULD COME UNLATCHED WITHOUT NOTICE AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN ABOUT AN INCH OR TWO. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU TRY TO SHUT THE DOORS MANUALLY OR AUTOMATIC IT WILL STILL OPEN AND UNLATCH ON ITS OWN WHEN EVER IT WOULD LIKE TOO. WE ONLY LIVE ON ABOUT 3 MILES OF GRAVEL SO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AGES NINE AND EIGHT IS SCARY.

MY 21 MONTH OLD CHILD WAS STANDING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN OUR GARAGE AS I GOT THINGS OUT OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO CLOSING THE DOOR. I PUSHED THE BUTTON THAT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES THE DOOR AS I LEANED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE TO RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE. I HEARD MY CHILD SCREAMING AND I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THAT THE DOOR HAD CLOSED ON HER ENTIRE HAND UP TO HER WRIST. NOT ONLY DID THE SAFETY FEATURE FAIL THAT IS SUPPOSE TO DETECT BODY PARTS IN THE PATH OF THE DOOR, BUT THE DOOR ALSO WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY BODY WEIGHT TO PRY THE DOOR OFF OF HER HAND. THIS INCIDENT RESULTED IN A BLOODY AND BRUISED FINGER THAT HAD THE NAIL RIPPED OF IT. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN ENGINE ENCOUNTERED A SEVERE ROUGH IDLES AND LOST POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND VEHICLE STABILITY & TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE LIGHTS ALSO ILLUMINATED. HONDA DEALER PROXIMATE TO INCIDENT DIAGNOSED AS FOULED SPARK PLUG RELATED TO CYLINDER DEACTIVATION SYSTEM IN CAR. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH HONDA CARS HAVING A V6 ENGINE WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION. *TR

THE VAN I BOUGHT WAS ON 3/28/2010, THE BRAKE PAD WAS VERY SOFT, I HAD TO PRESS VERY DEEP DOWN ,I HAVE BEEN TO THE HONDA DEALER 3 TIMES ALREADY FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT EVERY TIME THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG/BROKEN , I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. FIRST WAS MASTERLY CYLINDERS HAS INTERNAL FAILURE, , THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER ON THE DATE OF 01/03/13, THEN THEY FOUND AIR IN BRAKE FLUID LINE AND FRONT ROTORS TO BE BADLY RUSTED, SO THEY REPLACED FRONT PADS AND MACHINED FRONT ROTORS ON THE DATE OF 03/15/13, AND THEN THEY FOUND REAR PADS AND ROTORS TO BE WARPED, THEY REPLACED THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT GOING ON AND OFF , I WENT TO THE DEALER AS WELL, THIS IS THEY FOUND CODE P0171 FUEL SYSTEM TOO LEAN , ON THE DATE OF 05/28/13, AND 06/14/13. , I TOOK MY CAR THERE AGAIN TODAY THE DEALER STILL HOLDING MY CAR. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR SOMETIME DOESN'T CLOSED ALL THE WAY. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 6/23/2013. THE PERSON IN FRONT OF THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AT A GREEN LIGHT. THE PERSON BEHIND THAT PERSON SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND I, IN TURN, HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF HER CAR. I WAS DOING BETWEEN 15-20 WHEN I HIT HER AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIRBAG LIGHTS LIT UP FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER, BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AS THE POLICE OFFICER DETERMINED THE VAN WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE AND LATCH. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD OPEN INDEPENDENTLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING CLOSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT BELT FAILED TO DISENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

MY TODDLER TRAVELS WITH ME UP TO 4 ROUND TRIPS A DAY. IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, HER CARSEAT HAS BEEN GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO UNCLICK. YOU HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD TO GET THE RED BUTTON TO CLICK OPEN. SOMETIMES ONE SIDE WOULD CLICK OPEN, THEN THE NEXT TIME BOTH SIDES WOULD STICK. TODAY, WE WERE ON AN OUTING (FOR MOTHER'S DAY), AND WE SPENT OVER 45 MINS. TRYING TO UNBUCKLE HER FROM THE SEAT. I TRIED VERY HARD AS WELL AS A LARGE GENTLEMAN NEARBY IN THE PARKING LOT WHO HAPPENED TO NOTICE ME IN DISTRESS. MY TODDLER BECAME INCREASINGLY UPSET AS IT WAS GETTING SCARY FOR HER. THE MAN WAS ALSO SHOCKED TO SEE THAT HE WASN'T GETTING IT UNBUCKLED WITH STRONG FORCE. WE DEBATED CUTTING IT APART; WE ALSO DEBATED CALLING 911 TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT UNLEASH IT. I RULED BOTH OUT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO GIVE IT A FEW MORE MINUTES. SO TO GET HER OUT, WE LOOSENED UP THE STRAPS AS MUCH AS WE COULD AND SQUEEZED HER FROM THE SEAT. WE SPENT ANOTHER TEN MINUTES OR SO CONTINUALLY TRYING TO UNCLICK THE BELT. IT'S SHOCKING TO ME - ALTHOUGH THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. IT HAS NEVER TAKEN MORE THAN 3-5 MINUTES TO UNCLICK THE HARNESS. I'VE GOT NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP USING THE SEAT UNTIL WE CAN GET RESOLUTION FROM GRACO. I DO PLAN ON CONTACTING THEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING (MONDAY MORNING 5/13/2013) WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO RECEIVE ANOTHER MODEL OF CARSEAT - AND RETURN THIS ONE TO THEM. I HAVE NOT KEPT THE RECEIPT FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE FROM TARGET, SO I'M CERTAIN THEY CANNOT EXCHANGE IT. BUT IN RESEARCHING RECALLS ABOUT THIS MODEL OF CARSEAT, I'M SHOCKED ONCE MORE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. IT'S EXTREMELY UNNERVING TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR CHILD. AND EVEN MORE, THE WORST CASE SCENARIOS ARE ALREADY PLAYING IN MY MIND: WHAT IF WE HAD A CAR FIRE OR A CAR ACCIDENT? IF THE BUCKLE IS A DEFECT, WHAT ELSE IS DEFECTIVE ABOUT THIS CARSEAT? I'D LIKE NOT TO FIND OUT THE HARD WAY. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FOLLOW-UP. THANK YOU *TR
