2014 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

SLIDING DOOR ON PASSANGER SIDE CLOSES AND AFTER A FEW SECOND IT UNLATCHES FROM STRIKERS AND THE CHIME OF THE SLIDING DOOR OPEN STARTS TO SOUND WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS PULLING INTO A DRIVE THROUGH ON DECEMBER 6, 2020. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKE (I DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT - MY RIGHT FOOT) WITH MY RIGHT FOOT, THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THE VAN MOVED ABOUT 5 FEET FORWARD AS I INCREASED THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE. I THEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE WENT TO RED LINE. I PUSHED THE POWER BUTTON. NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T TOUCH ANYTHING AS THE DRIVETHROUGH AHEAD OF ME WAS EMPTY. THE DAY BEFORE, THE LDW AND FCW FAIL LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A CHECKOUT / DIAGNOSTICS OF WHAT HAPPENED. HONDA HAS OPENED A CASE ON THIS FOR US: CASE IS 11754879. NO PICTURES OR VIDEO AVAILABLE, UNFORTUNATELY, ALTHOUGH I AM CHECKING WITH FADI'S AT 12360 WESTHEIMER ROAD 77077.

WE HAVE A PEARL WHITE ODYSSEY. THE PAINT HAS PEELED OFF 2 TIMES, AND WE ARE TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED! I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF ISSUES WITH THIS SAME PAINT ON OTHER HONDA VEHICLES. HONDA KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PAINT ON THESE VEHICLES! THEY SHOULD FIX THIS INSTEAD OF THE CUSTOMER, SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MANUFACTURE OF THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS PAINT ON THEM! NOW WE HAVE A CAR THAT WE WANT TO KEEP FOR A WHILE BUT WE NEED TO KEEP SPENDING FUNDS TO KEEP IT LOOKING NICE, WHEN HONDA SHOULD BE COVERING A KNOWN FLAW. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION HAS CONSTANT HESITATION WHEN DOING REGULAR DRIVING. IT LIKE IT CANT FIND A GEAR.

OUR PAINT IS PEALING OFF THE ROOF BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND MOONROOF. THIS IS MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE COVERED BY HONDA. WE PREVIOUSLY HAD PEALING ON OUR HOOD AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT OUR OWN COST. HONDA REFUSED TO PAY FOR IT. CLEARLY THEY HAVE A PAINT ISSUE BY THE RECALL/WARRANTY ON THE ROOF/BACK DOOR PAINT, HOW WOULD ONLY THOSE PARTS BE AFFECTED? THEY NEED TO REPAINT, AND OR REIMBURSE ALL OF THE PEOPLE AFFECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SECOND-ROW SEAT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FAILED TO LATCH SECURELY. STOCKTON 12 HONDA (10860 S AUTO MALL DR, SANDY, UT 84070, (801) 981-4920) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PASSENGER'S SEAT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BUT, NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V933000 (SEATS) AND 17V725000 (SEATS) AS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO CONFIRM INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000. *BF*JB

2014 HONDA ODYSSEY POWER DOOR DOES NOT SEEM TO LATCH ALL OF THE WAY. 80% OF THE TIME WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED, A POPPING SOUND CAN BE HEARD. WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED IT IS ALWAYS IN A STATIONARY POSITION. I HAVE CONCERNS THE DOOR WILL OPEN INVOLUNTARILY WHILE IN MOTION.

WHILE THIS ISN'T A REAL "SAFETY" ISSUE, HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERRED ME HERE TO COMPLAIN. THERE IS AN EXISTING EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PEELING 2014 ODYSSEY WHITE PEARL PAINT, BUT ONLY FOR THE ROOF AND LIFTGATE. THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE IS PEELING THERE... BUT ALSO ON THE UPPER PORTION OF ONE OF THE SLIDING DOORS. IT IS PEELING OFF OF THE PRIMER IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS THE OTHER AREAS, AND ACTUALLY STARTED PEELING THERE FIRST, BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AGAIN, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE... JUST AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER COMPLAINT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. EXITED THE NEXT EXIT AND TOOK TOOK THE VAN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, DUE TO BEING FOULED, AND ALSO COIL PACK FOR CYLINDER 3, DUE TO MISFIRE CODE ON CYLINDER 3. WITHIN A MONTH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SHUDDER AND FLASHING CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT. TOOK THE VAN IN TO MY MECHANIC AND THE CODE SHOWED MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 3. HE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG DUE TO THE FOULING OF THE NEW PLUG AND SAVED IT FOR ME TO PRESENT TO HONDA. HE ALSO SWITCHED COIL PACK 2 WITH COIL PACK 3. HE ADVISED ME OF HONDA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 13-081 AND EXPLAINED THE BUILD DATE OF OUR ODYSSEY WAS LISTED AS 08/13 AND WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT HONDA WAS EXTENDING TO THE 11-13 MODELS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS WE WERE EXPERIENCING. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATION AND THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME OUR VAN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AND AS PROBLEMS CONTINUED TO ARISE TO CONTINUE WHAT WE WERE DOING AND FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR MECHANIC (WHO HAS ADVISED ME TO NOW GET RID OF VEHICLE DUE TO HONDA'S POSITION) AND THAT IN THE TECHNICIAN'S OPINION FUEL INJECTORS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION.

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND THERE WERE NO ODORS PRESENT SO I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TOWARDS THE NEXT EXIT. ABOUT .5MI AWAY FROM THE EXIT, THE ABS, FCW, LDW, AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE AIR CONDITIONER AND CONSOLE TURNED OFF, AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED. THIS PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY LOST POWER. THE LOCAL DEALER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS AN OIL LEAK IN THE SPOOL VALVE THAT THEN DESTROYED THE ALTERNATOR AND FRIED THE BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER (HONDA) RECENTY ISSUED TSB 20-023 DETAILING THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR PROCEDURE, BUT IT WAS LIMITED TO THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK, NOT ANY OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT WERE DAMAGED. MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE INCIDENT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE A FIRE COULD HAVE BROKEN OUT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK ONTO THE OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS.

DTC B0020-13 DRIVERS SIDE SRS INFLATOR FAILURE VEHICLE ONBOARD COMPUTER SHOWED ABOVE CODE BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR DRIVER SAFETY ISSUE. ESTIMATED REPAIR $1,100. *TR
