2016 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

OUR 2016 HONDA ODYSSEY ROLLED AWAY SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE SHIFTED TO PARK ON A LOW INCLINE DRIVEWAY AND SEVERELY TRAUMATIZED MY WIFE'S FOOT WITH THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE AS SHE STRUGGLED TO PUSH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR WHILE OUR DAUGHTER WAS IN HER CAR SEAT. A BYSTANDER CAME IN AND HAD TO SHIFT THE CAR TO DRIVE IN ORDER TO GET IT OFF OF MY WIFE'S FOOT. DURING THE ORDEAL, SHE SUSTAINED A HEAVY SPRAIN/STRAIN TO HER RIGHT ANKLE/FOOT, MULTIPLE SCRAPED, BRUISES, AND ROAD RASH ACROSS HER LEGS, ARMS AND BACK. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE CAR AT THE TIME OF ROLL AWAY, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF HER ANKLE/FOOT AS WELL AS A POLICE REPORT WHICH SOLIDIFIES MY CLAIM.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND BRAKED HARD TO AVOID ANOTHER CAR AND THE SECOND ROW SEAT FLIPPED FORWARD. MY CHILD, WHO WAS IN HIS CARSEAT, HIT HIS HEAD ON THE FRONT ROW, PASSENGER SEAT.

MY THREE YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER WAS BUCKLED INTO CAR SEAT IN SECOND ROW PASSENGER SIDE. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS MOVED ALL THE WAY FORWARD TO ALLOW EASY EXIT FOR HER AND HER BOOK BAG. I STOPPED SUDDENLY FOR A YELLOW LIGHT. THE SEAT MY GRAND DAUGHTER WAS IN FLEW FORWARD AND LANDED HER FACE ON THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HER. SHE WAS SCREAMING, I HAD TO LEAN OVER AND PUSH HER SEAT BACK INTO PLACE. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 35-45 MPH. AT FIRST IN MY MIND I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE CAR SEAT BUT KNEW IN WAS WELL STRAPPED DOWN, I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE WHOLE SEAT LEANING FORWARD. SHE HAS A FEW BRUISES ON HER FACE. I DROVE TO THE HONDA DEALER TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEM. I WILL BE DROPPING THE CAR BACK OFF THERE TONIGHT WHEN MY HUSBAND CAN DRIVE US HOME.

WHILE DRIVING, DASHBOARD, RADIO, REAR AND SIDE CAMERA SHUT OFF AND THEN, A FEW SECONDS TO 30 MINUTES LATER, GO BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS CONSISTENTLY WHEN DRIVING. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES TO DATE (CAR STAYED AT DEALERSHIP FOR A WEEK EACH TIME), AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

HAD AN ACCIDENT, FRONT DRIVER SIDE IMPACT, AIR BAGS INFLATED, PASSENGER SIDE NOT DAMAGED BUT ELECTRIC SIDE DOOR LOCKED AND DON'T OPENED, PASSENGER SIDE ALSO ELECTRIC AND DIDN'T WORK, MY KIDS JUMPED TO FRONT TO GO OUT, SEVERAL PEOPLE HELPED TRYING TO OPEN DOOR, FINALLY DOOR WAS OPENED BUT NOW IS NOT WORKING, I WAS ON RED LIGHT THEN LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN, STARTED DRIVING, A MEDIUM SUV HIT CAR ON MY LEFT AND ALSO MINE, I WAS SCARE BECAUSE SMOG (FROM AIRBAGS) WAS INSIDE MINIVAN, NO WAY TO GO OUT ON MY SIDE, ONLY AVAILABLE OPTION WAS PASSENGER DOOR O SIDE SLIDING DOOR, BUT SLIDING DOOR WAS NOT RESPONDING, A NIGHTMARE, THANKS GOD WE ARE OK.

TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY I COULD NOT STOP I PRESSED THE BRAKES DOWN TO THE FLOOR BUT NOTHING STOPPED ONLY BY HITTING OUR AIR CONDITIONER AVOIDING OUR HOME. THERE WAS STILL BRAKE FLUID BUT THINKING IT WAS THE CYLINDER, NO INDICATION OR LIGHT CAME ON THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG.

AUTOMATIC WINDOWS, SUN ROOF, BACK DOOR OPEN BY THEMSELVES, AND STAY OPEN; HAPPENED SEVERAL NIGHTS. EXTREME DANGER EXISTS IF DRIVING. NIGHT PHOTOS OF WINDOWS, ETC. OPENING NOT AVAILABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE PARKED AT OUR HOUSE: ONCE ON THE FLAT ROAD IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE AND TWO TIMES ON OUR HOMES HILLSIDE PARKING (VAN FACING UPWARD SLIGHTLY). IN PARK, THE WINDOWS AND DOORS OF ALL OF OUR CARS ARE ALWAYS CLOSED AS WE LIVE ON THE COAST AND THERE'S NO TELLING WHEN IT GOING TO RAIN.
