2009 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONE DAY. I NOTICED THAT THE BACK RIGHT ROTOR WAS BROKE INTO TWO PIECES. THE DEALER HAS REFUSED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS STATING THAT SOMETHING MUST HAVE CAUSED THE ROTOR TO FAIL, AND THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHY IT FAILED. THE BROKEN ROTOR ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL WHICH I MUST PAY FOR BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT FIX THE VAN UNDER THE WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN SHE LIFTED THE REAR LIFT GATE AND IT FELL, STRIKING HER ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD, NECK AND SHOULDERS. SHE ATTEMPTED TO HOLD THE LIFT GATE IN PLACE BUT IT CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, ALL FOUR POWER WINDOWS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY OPEN. THE DEALER WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OF THE WINDOWS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT AN INVESTIGATOR WOULD FURTHER EXAMINE THE VEHICLE FOR THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,320.

MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L HAS SUFFERED FROM POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE SINCE NEW. THE PEDAL CONSTANTLY FEELS SPONGY. THIS CONDITION FORCES ME TO BEGIN BRAKING SOONER TO ENSURE THAT THE CAR STOPS AT THE RIGHT TIME. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. DISC ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED AND REPLACED. THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM (INCLUDING THE ABS MODULE) HAS BEEN BLED MORE THAN ONCE. THE DEALER EVEN INSTALLED A DEVICE THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID WOULD MAKE THE BRAKES ACTUATE EARLIER IN THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL. UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES THE DEALER HAS MAINTAINED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND BRAKING PERFORMANCE ARE NORMAL. WHILE THE CONDITION HAS NOT CAUSED ME TO HAVE A COLLISION, LIKE MANY OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS I MAINTAIN THAT THIS CONDITION IS NOT NORMAL. *TR

2009 HONDA ODYSSEY, PROBLEM STARTED ON MONDAY 04/26/10. EARLY MORNING AS I WAS LEAVING MY PLACE FOR WORK, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE 'SOFT'; AT THE FIRST STOP SIGN, IT TOOK THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VAN A LONGER DISTANCE THAN USUAL, SPEED IS BELOW 20MPH. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE TO WORK WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT THAT TIME. THEN AT NOON I WENT OUT TO HAVE LUNCH, I DROVE TO A NEARBY PLACE ABOUT 10 MILES, WHILE I'M DRIVING THE VSA OFF SIGNAL LAMP CAME ON, DRIVING SPEED AT 35MPH, GOOD DRIVING/WEATHER CONDITION, ROAD IS WELL PAVED; WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED A FEW MINUTES, AND STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, THE VSA SIGNAL LAMP IS NOW OFF. NO FURTHER INCIDENT THAT TIME AGAIN. THE NEXT INSTANCE THAT THE VSA SIGNAL LAMP WENT ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY HOME, IT STAYED ON FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN IT WENT OFF. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER/SERVICE SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECK, LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT AND GOT IT BACK THE NEXT DAY; I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. I'M NOW SUSPECTING THAT THE RECENT RECALLS REGARDING MY07/08 ODYSSEYS IS ALSO AFFECTING CERTAIN MY09. *TR

2009 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI VAN WAS CRASHED BY HITTING A CONCRETE BLOCK IN THE PARKING BUILDING WITH AN UNINTENDED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. WHEN THE CAR PARKED INTO A SPOT, THE CAR NEEDED TO READJUST ITS POSITION IN PARALLEL TO THE PARKING LINE. THUS THE DRIVER CHANGED TO A REAR MODE AND THEN SUDDENLY HEARD VERY LOUD SOUND AND THE MINI VAN DROVE VERY FAST TO THE FRONT DIRECTION AND HIT THE CONCRETE BLOCK. THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK UNTIL IT HIT THE BLOCK. THE DRIVER, MY WIFE, HAD A MINOR INJURY OF SEAT BELT MARK ON HER CHEST. THE FRONT CAR WAS DAMAGED SEVERELY. IT WAS SO DANGEROUS IF THE PARKING BUILDING DID NOT HAVE A THICK CONCRETE BLOCK. IF NOT, THE CAR SHOULD JUMP OVER TO THE LOWER FLOOR AND MY WIFE COULD GET KILLED. THIS CAR TOWED TO HONDA DEALERS BODY SHOP YESTERDAY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CASE. THE PARKING BUILDING: EDWARD HOSPITAL, NAPERVILLE, IL WE ASKED HOSPITAL SECURITY IF THERE WAS A CCTV IN THE PARKING BUILDING. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO CCTV IN THE PARKING BUILDING. *TR
