2008 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE STARTED TO BECOME HARD TO OPEN WITHOUT RESISTANCE. EVENTUALLY DIDN'T OPEN MORE THAN HALF WAY. IT BECAME SO HARD TO CLOSE THAT IT NEEDED TO BE PUSHED AFTER THE INITIAL CLOSING. BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS THE DOOR COMPLETELY FELL OF THE TRACK ALONG THE SIDE AND TOP OF THE DOOR TRACK. IT WAS HANGING ON BY THE BOTTOM TRACK ALONE. IT APPEARS THE ROLLERS FOR THE TRACK HAVE BROKEN COMPLETELY AND ARE NO LONGER ATTACHED.

TAKATA RECALL . ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL WITH NO OTHER INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND REVING OF ENGINE AND SHIFTING ISSUES.

HAVE GONE TO COURTNEY HONDA, MILFORD CT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH CAR. I HAD IT TOWED AFTER MALFUNCTIONING ON HIGHWAY THEN STALLING. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY SLOW LANE CAR STARTED BREAKING BY ITSELF ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD STARTED GOING ON FROM BATTERY ALTERNATOR BRAKES TIRE PRESSURE EVERY LIGHT ON. CAR BRAKES ON IT'S OWN AND STARTED JOLTING PULLED TO SIDE BREAKDOWN LANE AND CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AFTER CONTACTING THEM. HONDA KEPT MY CAR FOR 2 DAYS THEN TOLD ME TO COME AND PICK IT UP BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AFTER PUTTING THRU DIAGNOSTICS. NOTHING WRONG THAN WHY IS IT STOPPING IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.MAJOR MALFUNTIONING MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOSLY HURT!!!!!!

I HAVE SPENT OVER $4000 IN REPAIR COSTS AND MY CAR JUST SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT START. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED THREE TIMES ONCE TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND TWICE TO A REPAIR SHOP. ALL THIS MSONEY SPENT AND CAR STILL DOESN'T WORK RIGHT, NOW IT JUST STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. ALL LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD START FLICKERING THEN CAR STARTS STOPPING ITSELF WHILE ALL LIGHTS GO CRAZY. CAR STARTS STALLING ITSELF WHILE I'M DRIVING MAKING IT EXTREMLY UNPRIDICTABLE AND UNSAFE. CAR HAS GOTTEN SO HOT THAT IT MELTED A NEW BATTERY THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH ALTERNATOR. STILL AFTER ALL THIS STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT ALL THE ELECTRICALS GO CRAZY BRAKES, LOCKS AND EVERYTHING ELSE NOW CAR HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED. YET NO ONE CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED ON ROAD AND ON HIGHWAY VERY UNPRIDICTABLE. CURTIS HONDA IN MILFORD HAD MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING YET IT STALLED AND STOPPED ON ME ONLY A DAY AFTER PICKING IT UP FROM MILFORD DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT FIND OR WOULD NOT FIND WHY. ALL LIGHTS GO CRAZY AND STOP SHUT OFF MY VEHICHLE. AFTER ALL THIS VEHICLE STARTED I DROVE IT AROUND TOWN ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL LIGHTS STARTED GOING CRAZY AND STARTED STOPPING ON IT'S OWN UNTIL IT COMPLETLY DIED.

BREAK PADDLE SOME TIME NOT WORKING IT GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN USE BRAKE I HAVE READ THAT A LOT OF 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE A BRAKE PEDAL THAT GOES TO THE FLOOR AND MY BRAKE PEDAL DOES THE SAME. I HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW SO THE CAR WILL STOP, PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR BEFORE SLOWLY STOPPING.

WHEN PASSENGERS ARE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT STATES AIRBAG IS OFF. I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE AUTO ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES. NOTHING HAS BEEN CHECKED. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS, MY HUSBAND AND I TRAVEL A LOT NOW AND A CRASH AND A NON WORKING AIRBAG COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND OR SERIOUS INJURY.

DRIVING VEHICLE AND ALTERNATOR OVER HEATED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE WE WERE IN THE VEHICLE

ODI COMPLAINT NUMBER 10263934 - UNABLE TO RETRIEVE COMPLAINT FROM SAFERCAR.GOV WEBSITE. CAN YOU PLEASE SEND ME THE LINK TO REVIEW THE COMPLAINT I MADE? THE CARFAX REPORT ON MY CAR STATES THE AIR BAG WAS DEPLOYED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. IT WAS NOT AND I HAD COMPLAINED TO NHTSA ABOUT HONDA THAT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT DEPLOYED AND IT WAS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I'M TRYING TO CORRECT THE RECORD WITH CARFAX, BUT I NEED TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THAT I HAD RAISED THIS ISSUE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THIS IS AFFECTING THE VALUE OF THE VAN DURING TIME OF SALE

I CONTACTED HONDA CONCERNING THIS CAMPAIGN ORIGINAL HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2014/RCRIT-14V112-7697.PDF MOST RECENT VERSION HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2014/RCRIT-14V112-5917.PDF FOR THE FUEL FILTER COVER CRACKING THAT RESULTS IN A FUEL LEAK/SMELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. HONDA WAS VERY UNHELPFUL IN EXPLAINING WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED, EVEN AFTER ADMITTING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED IN THE FACTORY IDENTIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL TSB (ALABAMA PLANT). HTTPS://AUTOWEEK.COM/ARTICLE/CAR-NEWS/HAS-YOUR-HONDA-ODYSSEY-BEEN-RECALLED NOW MY FAMILY IS LEFT IN A DANGEROUS, UNSAFE SITUATION IN WHICH HONDA REFUSES TO BEAR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT NOR EXPLAIN WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL; RATHER THEY ARE TRYING TO EXTRACT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO "INVESTIGATE" AND CORRECT A WELL KNOWN, DOCUMENTED ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY ARE UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY MY VEHICLE IS UNCOVERED, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE PROBLEM FACILITY, USING THE PROBLEM PARTS. CAN SOMEONE AT NHTSA HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND WHY MY VEHICLE, WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN, IS NOT AND HOW TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. AS MENTIONED HONDA WAS COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL. I DO NOT PLAN TO PURCHASE A HONDA AGAIN BASED ON THIS EXPERIENCE. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN SHIFT CHANGE AND SLOW DOWN YOU WILL FEEL A JERKING FEELING OR IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS PULLING THE CAR BACK BEHIND AND PUSHING IT AT THE SAME TIME, A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC TEST DROVE MY VAN AND HE SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS THE GIVING UP, I RESEARCH ABOUT THE HONDA MINI VAN IT HAS BEEN NOTORIOUS TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, MY VAN ONLY HAS 108274MILES ON IT AND IT IS CONSIDERED LOW MILEAGE TO HIS AGE, AND IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF SUDDEN JERKING WHILE RUNNING ON 40MPH TO 60MPH
