TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE UNTIL IT WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V344000 (AIR BAGS). SHORTLY AFTER THE DEALER'S REPAIR, THE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF THE DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE CONDITION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. IN 2014, WHILE DRIVING UP HILL ON THE GRAPEVINE IN GORMAN, CA I HIT THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT MOVE. IT WAS STUCK ON 40MPS. I TRIED PUSHING ON THE GAS, BUT THAT DID NOTHING. IT WAS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS JUST NOT WORKING. I STARTED TO LOOSE POWER AS WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BY DIVINE INTERVENTION. THANK YOU AAA FOR TOWING ME TO SCOTT ROBINSONS HONDA- TORRANCE, CA. AFTER ALL OF THIS AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SPEED SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IS WHAT IT WAS, SO THAT IS WHAT IT HAS TO BE. THEY NEVER MAKE MISTAKES. ON JUNE 22, 2016 GOING UP HILL, AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PICK UP SPEED, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT MOVE. PUSHING ON THE GAS DID NOTHING. I CONTINUED TO MOVE UNTIL THE HILL BECAME TO STEEP, AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED. STARTING TO ROLL BACKWARDS, I HIT THE BRAKES AND HELD ON FOR DEAL LIFE. ONCE AGAIN AAA HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO HONDA. WELL, GUESS WHAT THEY SAID THIS TIME. YOU NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. YES, THAT IS WHAT THEY SAID THIS 2ND TIME. AT 140K MILES, I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS GOING TO COST ME $6,000. WFT! MY 1997 FORD WINDSTAR IS STILL GOING STRONG WITH 250K MILES. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT HONDA, BUT I AM GETTING NOWHERE. NO RETURN CALLS, NO COMMUNICATION NOTHING. I WILL NEVER BUY HONDA ANYTHING AGAIN. *TR
THE BACK MOTOR MOUNT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE LOW MILEAGE IN THIS VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE SHUDDERS WHEN IT IS IN THE ECO SETTING.
HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS AGAIN. REPLACED THE FRONT MOUNT IN OCT. 2014. FAULTY AGAIN. CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS. WAS TOLD ENGINE COULD FALL DOWN WHEN DRIVING. NHTSA NEED TO CHECK INTO THIS. I'M SURE HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT.
MY HONDA ODYSSEY IS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL THAN IT SHOULD. I AM NEEDING TO ADD 1 QUART EVERY 2 WEEKS IF THAT AS IT IS ALREADY DOWN 1 QUART. IT IS REGULARLY ON TIME GOING IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED SINCE I'VE BOUGHT IT IN 2015. IT HAS HAD MANY OTHER ISSUES AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED. NOW THIS IS SEEMINGLY A PROBLEM. THE OIL PERCENTAGE IS NOT TELLING ME THAT IT IS LOW OR NONE AT ALL. NO OIL DUMMY LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHEN I HAVE NOT A DROP OF OIL. I HAVE SWITCHED AND USED HIGH MILEAGE OIL RATHER THAN CONVENTIONAL AND GO EVERY 3,000 MILES & EVEN DID A TREATMENT RECENTLY. NOTHING IS DOING THE JOB.
TAKATA INFLATORS - IN FAIRLY SERIOUS FRONT IMPACT ACCIDENT, CUT TO HEAD SUSTAINED IN AN AREA (BACK OF HEAD) THAT DID NOT STRIKE ANY AREA OF CAR THAT WOULD CREATE CUT. THERE WAS NO GLASS. ALL MEDICAL PERSONNEL ASKED HOW THE CUT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. IT LOOKED LIKE STAB WOUND.

TAKATA/ AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THIS .TLY. USUALLY COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHEN DRIVING. IT USUALLY DOES NOT APPEAR IMMEDIATELY WHEN RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY.
MY NAVIGATION SYSTEM SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIMES NOT I WANT TO KNOW WHY IT'S DOING THAT
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH 3.5L VTEC ENGINE FOR WHICH HONDA WAS FOUND LIABLE ON 2008-2013 ODYSSEY AND A SLEW OF OTHER MODELS. MY 2005 IS DOING THE SAME THING YET 2005-2007 CARS ARE NOT INCLUDED. SAFETY WISE - WHEN THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW ENOUGH, THE ENGINE WILL LOSE NEARLY ALL POWER AND CANNOT SAFELY ACCELERATE (BARELY MAINTAIN SPEED) YET, THE ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON IN THE VEHICLE...
WHILE DRIVING, ACCELERATION OF FIRST GEAR IS HAMPERED, VEHICLE HAS LOSS OF POWER AND SLIPS GEARS. UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC OR THE ABILITY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION SAFELY. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 57000 MILES ON ENGINE.
DRIVING THROUGH A LOCAL PARK WITH 3 SPEED TABLES, AFTER CROSSING THE 3RD TABLE I HEARD A CLUNK FROM THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, LOST THE POWER STEERING AND THE CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING AS THERE WAS NO SAFE PLACE TO STOP. I DROVE SLOWLY WITHOUT POWER STEERING, THE CLUNKING CONTUNIED UNTIL SOMETHING BROKE FREE AND I NOTED IT'S LOCATION ON THE ROAD IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE PLACE WITHIN 30 MINS SO THE PART WAS STILL THERE. IT WAS A METAL RING WITH GROOVES ON THE OUTSIDE, LOOKED LIKE A BELT WENT ON IT. I GOT IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE HARMONIC BALANCER WAS GONE AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOOSING STEERING IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BY HONDA.
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR CLOSES, LATCHES AND THEN 5 SECONDS LATER UNLATCHES ITSELF ELECTRONICALLY. THE DOOR REFUSES TO CLOSE COMPLETELY AND CAN EASILY OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION ESPECIALLY IF PASSENGERS ARE IN THE SECOND SEATING ROW. THIS HAPPENED BY ITSELF OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE - I CANNOT PIN AN EXACT ACTION THAT MADE THIS OCCUR OTHER THAN REPEATED USAGE. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE DOOR FROM REOPENING, I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE (#7) THAT CONTROLS THE POWER SLIDING DOORS. NOW ONLY THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS USED AND MUST BE OPERATED MANUALLY. ALSO REMOTE POWER LOCKS HAVE BEEN DISABLED BECAUSE OF REMOVAL OF THE FUSE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BURNS ON HER NECK FROM THE SEAT BELT. THE REAR PASSENGER OCCUPANT SUSTAINED SLIGHT BURNS TO THE WRIST. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL SENSOR AND UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,211. UPDATED 05/20/16*LJ
AIR BAR WARNING ON AND OFF FOR UNKNOWN REASONS.
OUR 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VIBRATES, ESPECIALLY AROUND 35-45 MPH. HONDA TOLD US THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE BROKEN AND THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THEY ARE NOT A CHEAP FIX. ENGINE MOUNTS, THE LAST THING THAT YOU WOULD THINK WOULD GO OUT ON A VEHICLE! YET, WHEN YOU GO ONLINE, THIS APPARENTLY SEEMS TO BE A MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH THESE VANS. HONDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENGINE MOUNTS BRAKING AND THIS SEEMS TO BE OK WITH THEM. THIS IS NOT OK. THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAILURE. WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH HAVING TO REPLACE MANY OTHER FAILURES FROM HONDA THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, INCLUDING REPLACING THE FUEL CAP BEFORE THEY RECALLED IT. WE WILL NO LONGER BE PURCHASING HONDA VEHICLES.
FOR NO REASON THE CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON
TAKATA RECALL: CUT OFF MONITOR DOESNT ALLOW THE CAR TO KNOW IF SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT OR NOT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. IN RAINY WEATHER, THE CONTACT OBSERVED WATER LEAKING INTO THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY TIME IT RAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TIGHT AND THE SERPENTINE BELT FRACTURED. IN ADDITION, THE BOLTS FRACTURED ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUSPENSION PULLEYS MORE THAN TWICE CAUSING A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED MORE THAN ONCE AND TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC A THIRD TIME, WHO REPLACED THE SERPENTINE BELT, THE BOLTS AND THE PULLEYS. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CHECKED WITH THE MANUFACTURER ON THE OEM PARTS THAT HAD BEEN ORDERED AND THEY STATED THAT THE BOLTS WERE NEWLY DESIGNED BUT PROVIDED NO RESOLUTION ON WHY THE BOLTS PREMATURELY FRACTURED THREE TIMES. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V039000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
ON NOVEMBER 2015 WE WERE TRAVELING BACK FROM VACATION. AS WE STOPPED FOR A BATHROOM BREAK WE OPENED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENED AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE BACK. . IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS TO GET THE DOOR BACK ON TRACK IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE SHUT. THE DOOR THEN DID NOT OPEN, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY I COULD BOT USE THE DOOR TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT. THE END OF FEBRUARY 2016, WHILE DROPPING THE CHILDREN OFF AT A BABYSITTER, THE DRIVER REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED AND AGAIN WOULD NOT CLOSE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE I HAD TO REPLACE THE CABLE, THE MOTOR AND OTHER COMPONENTS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.
INTERMITTENT AIRBAG LIGHT, WHILE DRIVING. GOES OFF FOR DAYS, THEN SHOWS UP AGAIN.
CRIMINAL! BOTH SLIDING DOORS ON OUR 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN (CHILDREN) DO NOT CLOSE. NOT SURE WHO IS MORE CULPABLE HONDA OR THE NHTSA.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING PREVENTING THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,824.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE AIR BAG LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 146,000.
THE SAFETY HAZARD IS PRESENT WHEN THE DOOR MALFUNCTIONED (ELECTRIC AND NON ELECTRIC MODE), AND WILL NOT CLOSE LEAVING A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR PASSENGER CHILDREN. THE DOOR WILL NOT COMPLETELY LATCH CLOSED WHILE IN MOTION. THE DOOR STILL WOULD NOT CLOSE WHILE IN MANUAL USE (ELECTRIC DOOR SWITCHED OFF). AFTER SLIDING THE DOOR OPEN TO SHUT IT, THE DOOR BECAME STUCK IN AN OPENED POSITION AND COULD NOT BE CLOSED.
AROUND 10:30 AM ON WEDNESDAY, 1/13/16, DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD KEEP OPENING UP "COMPLETELY VOLUNTARILY" WHEN THE VEHICLE (2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX) WAS IN MOTION AND BEING OPERATED ON A LOCAL FREEWAY. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOOR EITHER USING THE REMOTE/AUTOMATIC DOOR-CLOSING SWITCH BY THE STEERING WHEEL OR MANUALLY (UPON STOPPING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROADSIDE) WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SLIDING DOOR KEPT OPENING UP "VOLUNTARILY" ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT BACK IN MOTION / DRIVE MODE (ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE). THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE DRIVEN BACK HOME, ITS NORMAL PARKING LOCATION, WITH THE SLIDING DOOR OPEN DURING THE DRIVE (APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM HOME).
MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKEN/CRACKED AND DEALER QUOTED $2,466.00 TO REPLACE THEM!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED AND MADE A ROARING NOISE. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED AND THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.
THE CHECK AIR BAG SENSOR COMES ON FOR NO KNOWN REASON.
MOTOR MOUNTS WERE CRACKED. I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE THEM AFTER I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS WASN'T A RECALL ISSUE. THIS CAUSES AN EXTREME VIBRATION WHICH EFFECTS THE HANDLING OF THE CAR AND PASSENGER COMFORT.
TORQUE CONVERTER GOING IN THE TRANSMISSION. I SEE THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS AND HAS DONE A SERVICE BULLETIN BUT NO RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR.
DEALER SAID 2 ENGINE MOUNTS BAD. THE FRONT ONE, IS OVER $500 JUST FOR THE PART. TWO ISSUES: HOW WAS IT DETERMINED THIS PART WAS BAD AND WITH SUCH A SIGNIFICANT PRICE FOR ONE OF THEM (THERE ARE TWO ON THIS MODEL), I TAKE ISSUE WITH THE OBVIOUSLY FLAWED DESIGN. I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING LEGAL ACTION REFERENCING BOTH THE ABOVE ISSUES. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS A FAULT DESIGN TO DRIVE SERVICE SALES LATER IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND DISPLAYED A RED LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 121,000.
HONDA'S HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH PAINT PEELING ON BLUE CARS HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BY TWO YEARS FOR MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY I WAS NOT AWARE THAT HONDA WAS COVERING THE PAINT ISSUE I WAS NOT AWARE THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY I AM FAIRLY SURE THAT THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM WAS AWARE THAT I PURCHASED A VEHICLE THAT POTENTIALLY HAD A PAINT ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HONDA OF LISLE (ILLINOIS) SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE PROACTIVE IN SEEKING OUT AND COVERING THIS ISSUE
ON SATURDAY AUGUST 1, 2015, I WAS ON MY WAY FROM THE AIRPORT WITH THREE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WHEN THE VAN SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. UPON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT, THE VAN WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. MY FUEL GAUGE AND LIGHT WERE NOT INDICATING NO FUEL (WHICH WAS THE FIRST THING THAT THE OFFICER WHO ASSISTED IN PUSHING THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD LOOKED AT). THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP RAN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE AND DECIDED THAT ALL THE VEHICLE'S SIX CYLINDERS WERE MIS-FIRING DUE TO LOW FUEL PRESSURE (5PSI) AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THE LAST TIME I HAD DRIVEN THE VAN PRIOR TO AUGUST 1, WAS JULY 21, 2015 WHEN I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER FOR THE FUEL PUMP FILTER REPLACEMENT (THE VEHICLE HAD 147,504 MILES ON IT LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP). THE DEALER CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE REASON WHY THE VEHICLE STOPPED WAS THAT I HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL. I ASKED HOW THE CYLINDER MISFIRINGS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON EARLIER ON AUGUST 1ST WAS RELATED TO AN EMPTY TANK, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WERE RELATED. BUT HE SAID HE COULD NOT PROMISE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STALL AGAIN BECAUSE ALL THE FUEL PUMP PART COULD BE GETTING OLD AND FAILING. NOW, ABOUT THE FUEL GAUGE THAT "FAILED" TO WORK AFTER THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WORK WAS DONE, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CLAIMED THAT THEIR TECHNICIAN RECHECKED WHAT HE DID ON JULY 21ST AND FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH IT. FURTHERMORE, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 O
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED IN TWO PLACES. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT NO GLASS WAS FOUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT STRONG FUEL FUMES EMITTED IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK AND THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V112000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
DURING ACCELERATION, AND PARTICULARLY WHILE TURNING AND ACCELERATING (E.G. LEFT HAND TURNS FROM A STOP LIGHT), THE VSA INDICATOR (TRIANGLE WITH EXCLAMATION POINT) WILL FLASH REPEATEDLY AND THE VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE (NOT NECESSARILY BRAKE) UNTIL IT REACHES THE STANDARD IDLE SPEED OR UNTIL THE WHEELS STRAIGHTEN OUT AND THE VSA INDICATOR STOPS FLASHING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE EXPOSED IN INTERSECTIONS WITH UNEXPECTED INABILITIES TO ACCELERATE OUT OF AN INTERSECTION. IT IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.
AIR BAG LIGHTS COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY DAYS OR WEEKS APART. NO RECALLS LISTED FOR MY VIN. SEAT BELT LIGHT DOES THE SAME THING BUT MUCH LESS FREQUENTLY. AGAIN, NO RECALL LISTED FOR MY VIN. NO OUTWARD DEFECTS. THIS CONCERNS ME DUE TO MANY OTHER AIR BAG RECALLS. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR. IT WAS PURCHASED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN IN MIND. WE ARE NOT FEELING VERY SAFE.
DRIVING AT ABOUT 65 THEN ACCELERATION, THE CAN STARTS TO SHACK BAD, TO THE POINT DANGER TO DRIVE, I WAS ABLE TO ADVOIDE A CRASH, DON'T KNOW ABOUT NEXT TIME. LOOKED ONLINE THIS HAPPENED TO ALLOT OF PEOPLE AT DIFFERENT NUMBER OF MILES, AS LITTLE AS 50K AND DIFFERENT SPEEDS (40-65)ODYSSEY'S 2005-2010. DESIGN PROBLEM. MAY HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN LIFE OF VAN, CAR BE EXPENSIVE TO FIX EACH TIME. I BOUGHT THIS VAN USED WITH 145K EXPECTED SOME PROBLEM. BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM TO ALLOT OF DRIVES. DANGER, DANGER, DANGER

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
