OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP GEARS WITH SLIGHT HESITATION & STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH NO POWER (NO LIGHTS, NO BEEPS NOTHING NEW BETTER WAS INSTALLED ON 11/13). AFTER 30 MIN. JUMP STARTED & ON THE WAY HOME THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM ON 4/1/14 AT 12AM EST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. ALSO THE WARNING FOR THIS PROBLEM IS THE SECURITY SYSTEM GOING OF RANDOMLY FOR NO REASON (LIKE DOORS LOCKING OR CLOSING HORN GOING OFF). *TR

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (<10 MPH) AND ENTERED INTO A ROTARY WITHIN A MALL COMPLEX. I NOTICED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED TO YIELD ANOTHER CAR ENTERING THE ROTARY. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND MY VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. AS I PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR AS IT'S GETTING CLOSER THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, MY VEHICLE STARTED ACCELERATE SUDDENLY. I QUICKLY MOVED MY FOOT FURTHER LEFT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS COMPLETELY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STEPPED HARDER, THE ENGINE RAN EVEN FASTER AND IT HIT THE CAR IN THE FRONT AND STOPPED. I LOOKED AT THE AREA OF THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS AND EVERYTHING WAS CLEAR AND SEPARATE. FORTUNATELY THE SPEED OF THE CAR WAS SLOW, NO ONE GOT INJURED. THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR AND THE REAR BUMPER OF THE OTHER CAR DENTED. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE REFERENCED ABOVE IN 2007 FROM HUDSON HONDA AND ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE, I BEGAN HAVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN. THE VEHICLE WILL ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN AND I HAVE TO EITHER THROW THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL OR TURN IT OFF ABRUPTLY IN ORDER TO STOP THE INCREASE IN SPEED. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND UPON THE FIRST INSPECTION, I WAS INFORMED THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIND ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY...MOST RECENTLY IN DECEMBER 2013 WHILE DRIVING FROM NEW JERSEY TO MIAMI. I WAS TAKING AN EXIT WITH AN INCLINE IN MARYLAND AND AS I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, THE SPEED INCREASED AT SUCH A RATE THAT I HAD TO THROW THE VAN INTO NEUTRAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE RESPONSE I HAVE RECEIVED IS THAT THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE VAN ACCELERATES WITHOUT WARNING, AROUND SPEEDS UP TO 30MPH AND OCCURS WHETHER I'M DRIVING UPHILL, DOWNHILL, OR ON A FLAT SURFACE. MY LAST VISIT, WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT, COST $1623.45 AND I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT A SAFETY ISSUE IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED AND HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR

I OPENED MY REAR HATCH DOOR USING THE REMOTE, IT OPENED WITH THE NORMAL SHORT BEEPS BUT CLOSED VERY FAST WITH A CONTINUES ALARM . I OPENED THE HATCH MANUALLY AND IT SLAMMED SHUT, WON'T STAY OPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY ACCOMPANIED BY THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. THE CONTACT SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND WHEN RESTARTED, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT LATER NOTICED A REDUCTION IN POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO STATED THAT, THE TIMING BELT AND MOTOR MOUNTS WOULD NEED REPLACING. ADDITIONALLY, THE DEALER SUGGESTED HAVING A TUNE-UP PERFORMED, AS THERE WERE SEVERAL MISFIRE CODES GENERATED WHEN DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER CONTINUED TO DIAGNOSIS THE FAILURE AS THE CYLINDER ONE COIL HAVING MELTED INTO THE CYLINDER. AS A RESULT, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE COIL AND SPARK PLUG FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE SPARK PLUG BECOMING LOOSE AND FUEL LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD CHAMBER. THE MANUFACTURE WAS ALERTED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO RESOLUTION. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED WITH THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:13V500000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOCK ACTUATOR BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE DOORS TO LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND FAILING TO UNLOCK WITH REMOTE. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE IS TO MANUALLY UNLOCK WITH THE KEY AND THE ONLY WAY TO FULLY LOCK THE VEHICLE IS TO PUSH DOWN ON DRIVER'S SIDE LOCK BUTTON (ON SUPERIOR PORTION OF DOOR). THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN BEING LOCKED INSIDE A VEHICLE WITH THE KEYS INSIDE. AT THE TIME, THEY WERE TOO YOUNG TO UNBUCKLE THEMSELVES AND GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER WHEN TEMPERATURES INSIDE A VEHICLE ARE DANGEROUSLY HIGH. WE WERE TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $400. IN ADDITION TO THE INITIAL LOCKING OF THE VEHICLE, IT HAS POSED ADDITIONAL SAFETY HAZARDS AS PEOPLE MUST WAIT ON DRIVER TO MANUALLY OPEN DOOR, OR TO LOCK DOOR. SECURITY HAS BEEN GREATLY AFFECTED. IT IS DIFFICULT TO CORRAL CHILDREN WHILE TRYING TO UNLOCK VEHICLE AS WELL AS POSING SECURITY ISSUES WHEN IN UNSAVORY AREAS OF TOWN. AS WE UNDERSTAND, THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF HONDA VEHICLE MODELS. *TR

WHENEVER I BRAKE FROM ABOUT 70MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL RATTLES TO A POINT THAT I HAVE TO HOLD IT WITH TWO HANDS. I'VE RESEARCH ONLINE AND MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT WITHOUT A RESOLUTION. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENTS. *TR

1) MILEAGE: 73,649. 10/26/11. HONDA REPLACED P/S AS IT WAS LEAKING. 2)10/10/13: REPLACED P/S PRESSURE HOSE AS IT WAS LEAKING.3) MILEAGE: 113,903. 2/22/14. ANOTHER LEAK WITH THE P/S. WAS ADVISED THAT IT COULD BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A SEAL OR IT COULD BE THE P/S ITSELF. WILL FIND OUT AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AROUND. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE THAT THE P/S PUMP SHOULD FAIL AGAIN AFTER 40,254 MILES. WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WILL PROBABLY NOT COVER THE COST AFTER THAT MANY MILES. NOT HAPPY AS I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE VAN. FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AT 34,000+ MILES. P/S RACK & PINION WAS FOUND LEAKING AT 34,094 MILES. LEFT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED AUTO OPEN. HONDA FIXED THAT AND NOW THAT WARRANTY IS OVER, IT'S STARTING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
