2014 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

BRAKE ROTORS WARPED WITH VERY FEW (20K OR LESS) MILES. DEALER STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. EVERY REPORT I FOUND ONLINE STATED THAT RESURFACED ROTORS ENDED UP WARPING AGAIN IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVE FOUND THAT HONDA HAS RECENTLY CHANGED OUT THE ROTORS THEY USE TO TRY AND COMBAT THIS PROBLEM, THOUGH, NEVER FORMALLY ISSUING A RECALL OR NOTICE TO EVERYONE THAT HAS BEEN HIT BY THIS ISSUE.

THE BRAKES ON OUR 2014 ODYSSEY STARTED VIBRATING SLIGHTLY WHEN APPLIED AT 20,000 MILES. SLOWLY THE VIBRATION HAS INCREASED WITH TIME AND IS NOW VERY APPARENT AT 28K. OUR DEALER CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETEN ON THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS THA THE BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED TO BE RESURFACED. HOWEVER, WE ARE VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVERS AND HVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OF OUR NUMEROUS OTHER VEHICLES. ALSO, WHEN LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THE PROBLEM ON THE WEB, IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING ISSUE THAT HONDA APPEARS TO BE AVOIDING. AND SIMPLY PUT, TRUEING THE ROTORS WILL ONLY TEMPORARLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND HASTEN A REACURRANCE! TO SAY THE LEAST, THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE WITH OUR FIRST ODYSSEY!

SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE CAR BUCKING WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. ALSO ACCELERATING PROBLEMS WITH IT BEING JERKY AND/OR UN-SMOOTH. IT SOMETIMES JOLTS FORWARD AS WELL. WHEN VAN IS TAKEN OUT OF PART ON ANY INCLINE, THERE IS A LOUD "CLUNK" AS IT SHIFTS INTO REVERSE. PURCHASED THE VAN BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2014. VEHICLE NOW HAS LESS THAN 26,000 MILES ON IT.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BUCKING WHEN SLOWLY ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. ALSO ACCELERATING PROBLEMS WITH IT BEING JERKY AND/OR UN-SMOOTH. IT SOMETIMES JOLTS FORWARD AS WELL. WE JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM A DEALER LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO WITH 16,500 MILES ON IT.

WHILE MY SON WAS REACHING FOR SEATBELT HIS ARM/WRIST GOT STUCK IN DOOR AS IT WAS CLOSING. DOOR WOULD NOT MOVE AND JUST SANDWICHED HIS WRIST. WHETHER CAR WAS IN DRIVE OR PARK DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE. FINALLY WE GOT HIS WRIST OUT AND DOOR CLOSED.

TRANSMISSION HAS HARD JERK WHEN SHIFTING AT EVERY GEAR LEVEL (1ST TO 2ND, 2ND TO 3RD, ETC.) HONDA DEALER REPORTS THAT THE FLUID IS BLACK. IT ONLY HAS 57,000 MILES. I SEE MANY OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE 2014 ODYSSEY...HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL.

WHILE I AM DRIVING THE HONDA ODYSSEY TODAY, EVERYTIME I WAS INCREASING THE SPEED FROM 0, IT WAS GIVING BIG JERK. I STOPPED AND AGAIN INCREASED THE SPEED, SAME PROBLEM. I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTARTED, THEN IT WAS FINE. SAME THING HAPPENED MANY TIMES IN PAST, BUT NEVER RECOGNIZED THE PATTERN.

BRAKES STARTED VIBRATING FAIRLY VIOLENTLY WHEN DESCENDING HILLS AT 10,000 MILES. INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. THIS IS THE 3RD HONDA VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE HAD AND HAVE GOTTEN OVER 100,000 MILES ON PILOT AND CRV WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING. THEREFORE IT IS NOT DUE TO DRIVING HABITS.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DISTANCE IS LIMITED BY A HORIZONTAL BLACKNESS. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH DISTANCE TO DRIVE SAFELY. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT 55W (H11 HALAGON TYPE, SAME BULB USED FOR FOG LIGHTS ON THESE VEHICLES. . ACCORDING TO TRIPLE A THESE ARE NOT SAFE OVER 35 MPH ON A UNLIT HIGHWAY. I FIND THE HEADLIGHT TO BE VERY ANNOYING AND UNSAFE BY LIMITING THE DISTANCE VIEWED ON THE ROAD AHEAD.

24,000 MILES ON OUR CAR AND IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND WE WERE TOLD OUR FRONT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE MACHINED. I HAD CALL THE SERVICE DEPT. WHEN WE WERE UNDER 20,000MILES AND WAS TOLD THE SQEAKY NOISE WAS FROM THE RAIN AND THE WATER GETTING ONTO THE BRAKE PADS... YA OK. $120 + LABOR + TAXES LATER AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO MY DRIVING STYLE.. WHICH I DO NOT "RIDE THE BRAKES" NOR DO I "BREAK HARD" . WE HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER CAR. MY HUSBANDS CHEVY MALIBU HAS OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE HIS BRAKES DONE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY OR SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THE ROTORS.
