2010 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

CAR PULLS TO RIGHT AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN. IF LAST TURN WAS TO THE LEFT CAR DRIVES STRAIGHT. WHEN PULLING TO THE RIGHT IS PULLS HARD ENOUGH THAT IS WILL CAUSE FATIGUE IN YOUR ARMS AFTER AWHILE OF DRIVING. ALSO IT YOU ALLOW IT THE CAR WILL CHANGE LANES IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS. THE CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT BEING CORRECTED. THEY HAVE ROTATED TIRES, REALIGNMENT, REPLACED STEERING RACK, REPLACE BOTH UPPER STRUT BEARINGS, ALL WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THIS CAR IN THIS CONDITION IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE IT. WE ARE TO MEET WITH THE HONDA REP. NEXT WEEK FOR THE SECOND TIME. DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO BUT KEEP TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT IS A NEW CAR. *TR

NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF VAN FRONT-END SHUDDER THAT IMPACTS THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TAKEN TO HONDA DEALER, UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALER STATES IT WAS WARPED ROTORS BUT THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 20,000 MILES ON IT (2010 MODEL) AND CONSIDERED IT A MAINTENANCE ITEM AND WOULD NOT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. REPAIR WAS NOT MADE. *TR

HONDA ODYSSEY 2010 GRAB BAR CAUSED TODDLER TO BREAK LEG. TWO YEAR OLD WAS IN HER CAR SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. SHE PUT HER FOOT ON TOP OF THE GRAB BAR BEHIND THE SEAT, HER SHOE (SIZE 7 1/5) CAUGHT, SHE PULLED AND THE FORCE BROKE HER LEG. THIS HAPPENED IN THE TIME IT TOOK ME TO OPEN THE DOOR AND GET INTO THE CAR. I THINK THAT IF THE GRAB BAR WAS SHAPED DIFFERENTLY (THICKER BAR PART AND NARROWER HOLE ) THAT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

I TOO HAVE HAD UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS W/ BOTH MY NEW 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY (CURRENTLY 1600 MI) AND MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY (130000 MI WHEN TRADED-IN). IN ALL CASES I HAD ENGINE ACCELERATION AS I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES. VERY SCARY THE FIRST TIME OR TWO. I FINALLY DISCOVERED THAT MY FOOT WAS OVERHANGING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON THE RIGHT (WHICH IT CAN EASILY DO WHEN BRAKING WITH MY RIGHT FOOT) AND WAS INADVERTENTLY CONTACTING THE GAS PEDAL. THE HARDER I TRIED TO BRAKE THE FASTER THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. I HAVE LEARNED TO LET UP ON THE BRAKE & MOVE MY FOOT TO THE LEFT. IMMEDIATE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BUT I BELIEVE THIS A DESIGN FAULT. MORE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE & GAS PEDALS WOULD ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. PERHAPS A REDESIGN OF THE BRAKE PEDAL FACE WOULD BE A COST EFFECTIVE REMEDY. *TR

AT 7000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A VERY LOUD GRINDING AND RATTLING NOISE, SHAKING THE VEHICLE, WHEN SHIFTING FROM R TO D. THIS WAS REPEATED AT 25,000 MILES SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE. IN JULY OF 2010, VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR MEMORY STEERING, THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT STRUT. NOVEMBER OF 2010, THE VEHICLE STEERING IS UNSTABLE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE SENSATION IS EITHER OVER-ACTIVITY OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP OR UNDER-ACTIVITY. VEHICLE SEEMS VERY UNSTABLE UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON BUMPY ROADS. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANYTHING ABNORMAL. *TR

THE SLIDING DOORS TO OUR 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE FAILED TO CLOSE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ROLLER THAT THEY RUN ON BRAKES AND CAUSES THE DOOR NOT TO CLOSE. IT WILL OPEN BUT NOT CLOSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US THREE TIMES AND IT WAS TODAY TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYPLACE SUCH AS A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY TO SWITCH DRIVERS. WHEN THE DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE THE CAR WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRANSMISSION TO GET OUT OF PARK INTO GEAR. THERE WE ARE STUCK ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND NOT ABLE TO MOVE. IF WE GET OUT OF THE CAR WE CAN GET HIT BY A CAR. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS YOU IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. UPON PARKING THE VEHICLE HE WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK ANY OF THE DOORS. THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM BEGAN TO SOUND AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO THE POLICE WHO INFORMED HIM TO MOVE THE KEY BACK AND FORTH INSIDE OF THE IGNITION WHICH ALLOWED THE DOORS TO UNLOCK AND THE CONTACT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS RESET. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 5,120. UPDATED 01/14/11*LJ

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH APPROACHING A STOP SIGN SHE ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS SOFT. SHE HAD TO ENGAGED THE BRAKES HARDER IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. SHE STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE WEEK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD TO BLEED HER BRAKES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,300.

THIS CONCERNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, ON INITIAL APPLICATION, GOING SO LOW THAT I ALSO HIT THE ACCELERATOR, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD VIGOROUSLY. WHEN I CONTINUE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. WHEN I RELEASE THE PEDAL AND REAPPLY IT, IT GIVES ME A HARDER PEDAL IN WHICH TO GET STOPPED. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER SERVICE, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE SERVICE PEOPLE AT THIS FACILITY DO NOT SHOW THE CONCERN FOR THIS AS I FEEL THEY SHOULD, SINCE THIS INVOLVES A CONDITION THAT IS OF MY GRAVE CONCERN, AND I HOPE THAT I DON'T GO THERE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS. I HAVE ALSO TALKED WITH HONDA AMERICA AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ANY HELP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH WITH THE MOON ROOF CLOSED IT SHATTERED.

THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A CRACK IN THE MOON ROOF BUT THE CONTACT STATED THE MOON ROOF HAD NO CRACKS NOR WAS HIT BY AN OBJECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600.
