THE SRS MODULE NEED TO BE REPLACED DEALER TOLD THAT IF NOT REPLACED ISSUE MAY OCCUR LIKE THE AIR BAG FIRING WITH OUT NOTICE OR NOT AT ALL WITHIN AND ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND FELT A VIBRATION IN HER FOOT. THE VEHICLE DID NOT DECELERATE PROPERLY AND THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN STOPPING TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT ROTORS WOULD NEED TO BE RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,855.

THE MINI VAN STARTED TO VIBRATE (THE STEERING WHEEL) WHEN I WAS BRAKING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS (65 MPH) AND DOWN HILL. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FRONT ROTORS WAS BAD. THE DEALER RECOMMEND THAT A BRAKE JOB WAS NEEDED. THE BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, AND ANY BRAKING MATTERS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE UNTIL 50,000 MILES. I ASKED WHY THE ROTORS WENT BAD SO QUICKLY AND THE BOTH SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER AND THE CAR COMPANY, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR IS "HEAVY". I NEVER TOWED ANYTHING OR HAD NO MORE THAN 6 AVERAGE PASSENGER IN MY CAR. IF THAT WAS THE CASE THE HONDA DID NOT ADEQUATELY PUT IN THE RIGHT SIZE ROTORS. FURTHER MORE, AS AN ENGINEER, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT A NEW BRAKE JOB WILL DO TO CORRECT THE ROTORS FROM BEING WARPED IF HONDA INSTALLED AN UNDER RATED ROTOR SIZE OR THICKNESS. NOT SURE IF THERE'S GOING TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

BRAKES VIBRATE AFTER A FEW STOPS OR WHEN THE WEATHER IS VERY HOT. MORE NOTICEABLE ON NORMAL FREEWAY DRIVING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE OF A FEW SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES. THE REPAIRS PERFORMED CONSISTED OF REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY PLANNED TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,159. UPDATED 06/18/13*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER OFFERED TO SWAP THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER FOR AN EXTRA $2,500. UPDATED 06/20/2013 *JS

2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN SHE SLOWED DOWN OR LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE ACTED AS THOUGH IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD LURCH FORWARD. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS TO TURN A CORNER, AND WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, IT FELT AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO STALL.

THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY DURING HIGHWAY SPEED BRAKING WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. TOOK IT TO DEALER, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT CLAIMED THAT THIS IS WEAR AND TEAR. THE BRAKES HAVE 8MM ON BOTH FRONT BRAKES. *TR

I WAS STANDING ON MY FRONT PORCH, VEHICLE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, AND MY REAR HATCH WINDOW SHATTERED. THE WEATHER WAS DECENT, MID 60'S. SO IT WASN'T EXTREMELY COLD OR EXTREMELY HOT. I LIVE ON THE END OF A CUL-DE-SAC. NOTHING WAS AROUND IT, NOONE WAS AROUND, NOTHING HIT IT. IT JUST SHATTERED, BLEW GLASS BOTH INSIDE THE VAN AND OUTSIDE THE VAN. THANKFULLY NOONE WAS STANDING BEHIND IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR

THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN DEC 2012 WHEN HONDA ISSUED A TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE, BUT ONLY WORSE. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROX 18MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED THEN SLIPPED CONTINUOUSLY. IT WAS WORSE WHEN I WAS ON A HILL CAUSING THE VAN TO JERK BACKWARDS. IT CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND WHEN ON A FLAT ROAD I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT JERK SO HARD WHEN ACCELERATING TO 20MPH. I ENDED UP HAVING THE VAN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, HONDA SAID THEY ARE UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND IT ONLY HAS 5000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS MY 4TH HONDA MINIVAN IN 10 YEARS AND THIS IS NOT TYPICAL HANDLING FOR THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO GET ME TO BELIEVE... [PLEASE TRY TO HELP SO NO ONE GETS INJURED IN THIS VEHICLE.... THANKS, *TR

MY CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE A LITTLE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND DOWN HILL AROUND 18,000 MILES. I DROVE IT AND FINALLY AT 22,000 MILES I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THAT I NEEDED A BRAKE JOB. I FEEL THAT THE ROTORS ARE EITHER NOT THE PROPER SIZE OR THICKNESS FOR THE CAR. I'VE CHECKED ON LINE AND MANY SAME CAR OWNERS ARE SEEING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I FEEL THAT THE WARRANTY THE SHOULD HONOR REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR IF THE ROTORS ARE WARPING SO QUICKLY. *TR
