2011 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

WHEN I BRAKE DRIVING 40MPH OR MORE, THE CAR AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE AND VIBRATE EXTREMELY VIOLENTLY. THIS STARTED WHEN THERE WAS ONLY 30K MILES ON THE CAR SO I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN TN AND THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THEN AT 42K MILES, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER IN VA AND THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW THE CAR HAS 70K MILES AND THE SHAKING WHEN I BRAKE, WAS GOTTEN WORSE. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS OUT OF CONTROL AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY WITH PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. THERE SEEMS TO BE A NUMBER OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, SO WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL?

PUTTING BRAKES ON AT HIGH SPEED, LIKE AT INTERSTATE SPEED, VEHICLE AND STEERING WHEEL WILL SHAKE, AND VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. WARP FRONT BRAKE ROTORS. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT, BUT HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE ABOUT 30,0000 MILES. USUALLY NOT A PROBLEM SINCE MOST OF MY DRIVING IS IN THE CITY, BUT WHEN USING THE INTERSTATE IT IS SCARY IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. FEELS LIKE YOU CAN LOOSE CONTROL.

MY VAN WAS INVOLVED IN THE HONDA ODYSSEY RECALL FROM 2013 REGARDING MISSING RIVETS IN THE DRIVERS AIRBAG. I BROUGHT IT IN TO HONDA AND THEY REPAIRED AND INSPECTED THE AIRBAG IMMEDIATELY IN 2013. I RECENTLY WAS IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. LUCKILY, MY ONLY INJURY WAS WHIPLASH AND PTSD. HOWEVER, I'M VERY WORRIED THAT MY AIRBAG DID NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY TO PROTECT ME FROM SERIOUS INJURY. MY ACCIDENT INVOLVED ME HITTING ANOTHER STOPPED VEHICLE AT APPROX 50MILES AN HOUR. I HIT THEIR BACK END WITH MY FRONT END, HEAD ON. MY FRONT END OF MY ODYSSEY IS SMASHED IN AND MY VAN IS TOTALED, BEYOND REPAIR. IT OCCURRED ON A COUNTRY ROUTE/STATE ROAD

2011 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL AS I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY TWO BABYS ON THE FREEWAY 65 MILES ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VAN BREAK BY ITSELF ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED, I WAS LUCKY THAT THERE WAS A EXIT TO THE LEFT AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE LEFT FAST LINE. I TOW TO THE HONDA DEALER THE WANT TO CHARGE ME $123+ TAX FOR DIAGNOSIS TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPEN. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE WITH TO BABY IN THE VAN, AFTER SOME ONLINE SEARCH I FIND OUT THAT ALOT OF HONDA OWNER COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, DEFECTS VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 12000 MILE, WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. CAN SOMEONE HELP BY THE HONDA OF AMERICA IS RESPONSIBLE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS IT IS MANUFATURED DEFECTIVE VEHICLE WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

THE VEHICLE SHAKES QUITE A BIT WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS, SUCH AS WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY OFFRAMP. APPARENTLY THIS IS CAUSED BY PREMATURELY WARPING BRAKE ROTORS.

CAR WHEN ON BLUETOOTH WITH IPHONE WILL ABRUPTLY CUT OFF AND NOT ALLOW OPERATOR TO USE HANDS FREE. EVERY DAY THIS HAPPENS.

BATTERY WARNING CAME ON SO REPLACED BATTERY. LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER SO HAD BATTERY TESTED AS WELL AS ANYTHING THAT WOULD DRAIN BATTERY LIFE. EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. BUT NOW EVERY TIME I OPEN THE DOOR OR TURN OFF THE CAR THE CAR LOUDLY BEEPS A LOW BATTERY WARNING. FED UP WITH IT. IF CAR WAS NOT PAID OFF I WOULD TRADE IT IN BUT WOULD THINK TWICE BOUT GETTING ANOTHER HONDA SINCE THEY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM.
