2010 Honda Odyssey complaints

UNEXPECTED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE PARKING. *TR

STOPPED VEHICLE AT A STOPLIGHT THAT WAS RED. HAD FOOT ON THE BRAKE. NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WANTED TO REV UP AND TAKE OFF. APPLIED BRAKE PRESSURE HARDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM LURCHING OUT INTO ONCOMING VEHICLE. THREW THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO NEUTRAL. ENGINE NO LONGER WENT INTO ACCELERATION AND BACK TO NORMAL. I MADE SURE THAT THERE WAS NOT ANY FLOOR MAT OR SOMETHING ON THE ACCELERATOR TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO HONDA TO SEE WHAT THEY SAY. *TR

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

THE SLIDING DOOR MECHANISM MAKES A ROUGH, GRINDING SOUND. HAVE TRIED TO LUBRICATE THEM, BUT DOES NOT SEEM TO HELP. HAVE OWNED PREVIOUS ODYSSEYS AND THEY NEVER SOUNDED THIS BAD. *TR

ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE FAILED PREMATURELY. ENGINE MOVES AND JOLTS CAR EVERY TIME YOU COME TO A STOP OR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THIS MOTION WAS FIRST NOTICED AROUND 72,000 MILES AND CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME. HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY DRIVERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM BETWEEN 65,000 AND 80,000 MILES DRIVEN. THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULDN'T FAIL THIS EARLY AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, 10/28/2014. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISE THE DTC CODE P3497. THEY ADVISED THAT THE ROCKET ARM BANK, OIL PRESSURE SWITCH, NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON BOTH SIDES. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. A PRIOR INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 01/15/2014 WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED THE DTC CODE P3400. THEY ADVISED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH WAS FAULTY. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. *TR

THE FIRST TIME WE HAD AN ISSUE WE WERE IN THE COUNTRY AND WE STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN WE GOT BACK IN THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. WE PUT THE SWITCH ON MANUAL HOWEVER THE DOOR WOULD STILL NOT CLOSE. WE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND THE LINE THAT WORKS THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE CUT TO CLOSE THE DOOR. WITHIN A WEEK THE OTHER DOOR STARTED NOT OPENING AND CLOSING PROPERLY EVEN WHEN IT WAS SET FOR MANUAL USE. WE WERE THE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DOOR FLEW OPEN. WE DID CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM HOWEVER ITS THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILTY TO PAY TO HAVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

WHILE BACKING UP SLOWLY (APPX. 2 MPH), THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT REAR WHEEL MADE LIGHT CONTACT WITH THE CURB. THE STEEL STEERING KNUCKLE (OFTEN CALLED THE SPINDLE) FOR THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE WHEEL SHEERED OFF, MAKING IT INOPERABLE. THIS WAS WITNESSED BY BYSTANDERS WHO CAN ATTEST THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A VERY LOW SPEED. THREE MECHANICS HAVE STATED THAT SUCH A FAILURE SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED, IN ANY SITUATION. NEVERTHELESS, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FACTORY-INSTALLED KNUCKLE WAS FAULTY AND WILL NOT TELL ME HOW MANY OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED. THEY REFUSE TO COVER ANY PORTION OF THE COST OF WHAT OTHERS HAVE CLASSIFIED AS AN UNPRECEDENTED FAILURE. *JS

VAN HAS A SIGNIFICANT SHAKE (OR "JUDDER", SHUDDER, VIBRATION, OR SHIMMY) WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 50 AND 75 MPH. ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES, SIMILAR TO ONE OR MORE TIRES BEING OUT OF BALANCE BUT MUCH WORSE. JUDDER GOES AWAY COMPLETELY AND INSTANTLY WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. DURING THIS PERIOD I HAD THREE ALL-WHEEL ALIGNMENTS AND SEVERAL TIRE BALANCINGS, BUT NOTHING WORK. IT WAS ONLY RECENTLY WHEN I NOTICED IT ONLY OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING AND SO IT WASN'T A TIRE OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. *TR

APPLIED BRAKES TO BEGIN TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT - BRAKES HAVE BEEN VERY SOFT FOR MONTHS NOW - THIS TIME, THEY DID NOT ENGAGE FOR A BRIEF MOMENT - LESS THAN A SECOND AND THEN ENGAGED WITH USUAL "SOFT" FEEL. PEDAL GOES DOWN ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55-60 MPH A FLAT OCCURRED. MY WIFE PULLED OVER AFTER ABOUT 200 YARDS. I ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES LATER. LOOKING AT THE TIRE AND RIM, IT IS APPARENT THAT A HARD OBJECT BOTH PUNCTURED AND DAMAGED THE RIM. THIS IS NOT THE POINT OF CONCERN AS IT SEEMS CUSTOMARY FOR A FLAT TIRE. HOWEVER, TWO LARGE (15X3 INCH) PIECES OF THE RIM BROKE OFF. THIS SEEMED EXTREMELY UNUSUAL AFTER SUCH A PUNCTURE AND SHORT FOLLOWUP DRIVE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN AWARE OF SUCH AN OCCURRENCE. WHEN I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER, THE SERVICE PERSON HAD NOT HEARD OF IT EITHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNIGN LIGHT FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE NOR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSOR MAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 3-4 FEET FROM THE CURB IN FRONT OF ME. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP WHEN THE VAN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED EXTREMELY RAPIDLY (AND WAS NOT RESPONSIVE TO BRAKE APPLICATION ) AND SLAMMED INTO THE CURB IN FRONT OF ME, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. I VERIFIED THAT THE FLOOR MATS WERE NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR. *JS

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LATCH/LOCK AND WAS TOLD THIS CAN CAUSE AIR BAG DEPLOYING PROBLEMS AS WELL AS DOOR COULD OPEN. HAD TO REPLACE POWER LATCH MECHANISM. THIS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR AROUND A MONTH AGO. THIS IS STRANGE SINCE MY WIFE AND I ARE IN OUR 70'S AND VERY SELDOM USE THESE DOORS. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE INTO BOTH A TIRES PLUS AND ZIMBRICK HONDA (MADISON,WI) REGARDING WHAT I WOULD CALL A VERY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL FEEL. BOTH SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AGREED THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF LIFE ON THE ROTORS/PADS. BOTH FLUSHED THE BRAKE FLUID. HOWEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL NEEDS TO BE PRESSED 2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *TR

SUBJECT: 2008-2009-2010 HONDA ODYSSEY TAIL LIGHT DEFECTS COMMENTS: 2008-2009-2010 HONDA ODYSSEY TAIL LIGHTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER PENETRATION WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS APPLIES TO THE PORTION OF THE TAIL LIGHT WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR HATCH DOOR. WATER ACCUMULATES IN THE WHITE PART OF THE LENS WHICH IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TAIL LIGHT IN THESE MODEL YEARS (I.E., THE BACK UP LIGHTS). THERE IS APPARENTLY A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE SEALED LIGHT SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD BOTH TAIL LIGHTS REPLACED IN MY 2010 ODYSSEY DUE TO WATER PENETRATION & COLLECTION. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM. *TR

FOR THE SECOND TIME THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK CLOSED AND THE WARNING TONE SOUNDED. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR HE SAID THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY IF IT WASN'T FIXED. THE DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM 71 YEARS OLD AND THE DOOR IS VERY SELDOM USED BY MY WIFE AND I. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE DOOR COULD HAVE COME LOOSE AND DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER HONDA VEHICLES. I DO HAVE THE OLD PART IF THAT WOULD HELP. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR BRAKES WHEN BACKING UP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE PARKING BRAKE PADS. I COULD LET THEM SAND THE EDGES FOR $200.00, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD PROBABLY RETURN. AT THAT POINT I DECLINED TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE TO THE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS TOLD THAT NO HARM WOULD BE DONE TO THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. I THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I CONSIDER BRAKING A VERY SERIOUS MATTER, ESPECIALLY AT SOME POINT IN TIME IF YOU CANNOT STOP. *TR

I GOT INTO THE CAR WITH MY CHILDREN ON JAN 3RD AT ABOUT 11:30 AM. AS WE WERE APPROACHING THE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED (BRAKE) FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS! I MADE A U-TURN TO GET AWAY FROM THE ON-RAMP AND GO HOME. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVING RIGHT. THE CAR SLOWED/STOPPED 2 MORE TIMES. I WAS ON MY STREET, WHEN THE "BRAKES WENT OUT". I COASTED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. SMOKE BEGAN BILLOWING OUT OF FRONT WHEEL WELLS. WHEN I WAS TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE, SO I RUSHED MY KIDS OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 911. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL SMOKING, HOT, AND SMELLING. I HAD CAR TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND WAS GOING TO GET HONDA INVOLVED. THEY COULD NOT SEE ANY PROBLEMS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EVENT. MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE CAR WAS "DRIVABLE", BUT DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE LETTING ME TAKE IT. I SAID THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE TAKING IT BECAUSE I CAN?T TRUST ITS SAFETY. JANUARY 5- I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT A VERY RECENT RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A YAW SENSOR TELLING THE VSA SYSTEM TO ENGAGE WHILE THE CAR IS ACCELERATING WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNING ON. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY CAR IS NOT NAMED IN THIS RECALL. ONLY 2007-2008 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED. I HAVE A 2010. ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS, HONDA DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL EXPLAIN TO OWNERS WHAT T

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND APPLIED THE BRAKES HOWEVER, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION AND A HIGH PITCHED NOISE THAT EMITTED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER EIGHT TIMES WHERE THE FRONT BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED, HOWEVER THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND NOTICED THAT THE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND SLOW TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT ALSO HAPHAZARDLY DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF THREE YEARS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE OPERATING AS DESIGNED EACH TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WAS DRIVING ON ND HWY. 15. THE DRIVER'S SLIDING DOOR WOULD COME UNLATCHED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH. PUSH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LATCH BUTTON AGAIN AND IT STAYED LATCHED FOR ABOUT 7 MILES AND IT WOULD UNLATCH ITSELF AND THE ALARM WOULD GO OFF. TELLING YOU THE SLIDINGDOOR WAS UNLATCHED. I TOOK THE VAN TO RYDELL'S HONDA DEALER IN GRAND FORKS, ND THEY REPLACE THE LATCH AND ROLLERS ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS. THEY SAID IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS AND THE ROLLERS AND LATCHES WOULD GET WORE BECAUSE THE ROLLERS AND PART OF THE LATCH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. HONDA SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US TO TRY TO KEEP THE ROLLER GUIDES CLEAN AND PRESSURE WASH THE ROLLER GUIDE REALLY WELL. WE DID THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR CLEAN THE THE GUIDES BIWEEKLY AND WE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES AGAIN. THIS TIME HONDA REPLACED ON LATCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THREE WEEKS LATER THE OTHER SIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TOO. WE WERE LUCKILY THIS ONLY HAD HAPPEN CLOSE TO TOWN AND WE NEVER WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DOORS WOULD COME UNLATCHED WITHOUT NOTICE AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN ABOUT AN INCH OR TWO. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU TRY TO SHUT THE DOORS MANUALLY OR AUTOMATIC IT WILL STILL OPEN AND UNLATCH ON ITS OWN WHEN EVER IT WOULD LIKE TOO. WE ONLY LIVE ON ABOUT 3 MILES OF GRAVEL SO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AGES NINE AND EIGHT IS SCARY.

MY 21 MONTH OLD CHILD WAS STANDING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN OUR GARAGE AS I GOT THINGS OUT OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO CLOSING THE DOOR. I PUSHED THE BUTTON THAT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES THE DOOR AS I LEANED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE TO RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE. I HEARD MY CHILD SCREAMING AND I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THAT THE DOOR HAD CLOSED ON HER ENTIRE HAND UP TO HER WRIST. NOT ONLY DID THE SAFETY FEATURE FAIL THAT IS SUPPOSE TO DETECT BODY PARTS IN THE PATH OF THE DOOR, BUT THE DOOR ALSO WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY BODY WEIGHT TO PRY THE DOOR OFF OF HER HAND. THIS INCIDENT RESULTED IN A BLOODY AND BRUISED FINGER THAT HAD THE NAIL RIPPED OF IT. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN ENGINE ENCOUNTERED A SEVERE ROUGH IDLES AND LOST POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND VEHICLE STABILITY & TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE LIGHTS ALSO ILLUMINATED. HONDA DEALER PROXIMATE TO INCIDENT DIAGNOSED AS FOULED SPARK PLUG RELATED TO CYLINDER DEACTIVATION SYSTEM IN CAR. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH HONDA CARS HAVING A V6 ENGINE WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 6/23/2013. THE PERSON IN FRONT OF THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AT A GREEN LIGHT. THE PERSON BEHIND THAT PERSON SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND I, IN TURN, HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF HER CAR. I WAS DOING BETWEEN 15-20 WHEN I HIT HER AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIRBAG LIGHTS LIT UP FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER, BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AS THE POLICE OFFICER DETERMINED THE VAN WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

THE VAN I BOUGHT WAS ON 3/28/2010, THE BRAKE PAD WAS VERY SOFT, I HAD TO PRESS VERY DEEP DOWN ,I HAVE BEEN TO THE HONDA DEALER 3 TIMES ALREADY FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT EVERY TIME THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG/BROKEN , I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. FIRST WAS MASTERLY CYLINDERS HAS INTERNAL FAILURE, , THEY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER ON THE DATE OF 01/03/13, THEN THEY FOUND AIR IN BRAKE FLUID LINE AND FRONT ROTORS TO BE BADLY RUSTED, SO THEY REPLACED FRONT PADS AND MACHINED FRONT ROTORS ON THE DATE OF 03/15/13, AND THEN THEY FOUND REAR PADS AND ROTORS TO BE WARPED, THEY REPLACED THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT GOING ON AND OFF , I WENT TO THE DEALER AS WELL, THIS IS THEY FOUND CODE P0171 FUEL SYSTEM TOO LEAN , ON THE DATE OF 05/28/13, AND 06/14/13. , I TOOK MY CAR THERE AGAIN TODAY THE DEALER STILL HOLDING MY CAR. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR SOMETIME DOESN'T CLOSED ALL THE WAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE AUTOMATIC DOOR FAILED TO CLOSE AND LATCH. THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD OPEN INDEPENDENTLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER BEING CLOSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY.

THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

MY TODDLER TRAVELS WITH ME UP TO 4 ROUND TRIPS A DAY. IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, HER CARSEAT HAS BEEN GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO UNCLICK. YOU HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD TO GET THE RED BUTTON TO CLICK OPEN. SOMETIMES ONE SIDE WOULD CLICK OPEN, THEN THE NEXT TIME BOTH SIDES WOULD STICK. TODAY, WE WERE ON AN OUTING (FOR MOTHER'S DAY), AND WE SPENT OVER 45 MINS. TRYING TO UNBUCKLE HER FROM THE SEAT. I TRIED VERY HARD AS WELL AS A LARGE GENTLEMAN NEARBY IN THE PARKING LOT WHO HAPPENED TO NOTICE ME IN DISTRESS. MY TODDLER BECAME INCREASINGLY UPSET AS IT WAS GETTING SCARY FOR HER. THE MAN WAS ALSO SHOCKED TO SEE THAT HE WASN'T GETTING IT UNBUCKLED WITH STRONG FORCE. WE DEBATED CUTTING IT APART; WE ALSO DEBATED CALLING 911 TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT UNLEASH IT. I RULED BOTH OUT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO GIVE IT A FEW MORE MINUTES. SO TO GET HER OUT, WE LOOSENED UP THE STRAPS AS MUCH AS WE COULD AND SQUEEZED HER FROM THE SEAT. WE SPENT ANOTHER TEN MINUTES OR SO CONTINUALLY TRYING TO UNCLICK THE BELT. IT'S SHOCKING TO ME - ALTHOUGH THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. IT HAS NEVER TAKEN MORE THAN 3-5 MINUTES TO UNCLICK THE HARNESS. I'VE GOT NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP USING THE SEAT UNTIL WE CAN GET RESOLUTION FROM GRACO. I DO PLAN ON CONTACTING THEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING (MONDAY MORNING 5/13/2013) WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO RECEIVE ANOTHER MODEL OF CARSEAT - AND RETURN THIS ONE TO THEM. I HAVE NOT KEPT THE RECEIPT FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE FROM TARGET, SO I'M CERTAIN THEY CANNOT EXCHANGE IT

I DRIVE MY VAN WITH MY FAMILY EVERY DAY AND AT FREEWAY SPEED. WHEN I NEED TO BRAKE THE VAN STARTS SHAKING AND THE PEDAL PULSE IS VERY SCARY. I TOOK IT TO JOHN EAGLE IN HOUSTON, AND THEY TOLD ME THE PADS STILL HAD 60% LIFE LEFT. IF I CAN LIVE WITH THIS UNTIL THE VAN GETS REPAIRS ON ALL THE BRAKES, OR REPLACE EVERYTHING . BUT HONDA DOES NOT HAVE WARRANTY ON THE BRAKES . THE VAN IS NEW, NOT SAFE , AND WITHOUT WARRANTY. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 BRAUN ENTERVAN IN LATE 2011. IT WAS NEW WITH 17 MILES. WE NOTICED WATER COLLECTING UNDER FRONT SEATS AT ABOUT 15000 MILES. IT WAS RUSTING OUR SEAT ANCHORS WHICH COULD LEAD TO FAILURE IN A CRASH. IT ALSO HAS PERSISTENT STEERING PROBLEMS AND TIRE WEARING AT 15000 MILES. IT WAS RETURNED TO BRAUN FOR REPAIR BECAUSE WE INSISTED AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE BRAUN CORPORATION. THEY ATTEMPTED REPAIRS BUT RETURNED TO US WITH MORE ISSUES AND A CONTINUED STEERING PROBLEM.THIS WAS THEIR FIRST YEAR DOING A HONDA ENTERVAN CONVERSION AND THEY HAVE OFFERED A 5000.00 SUPPLEMENT TOWARD A TRADE. OUR LOCAL DEALER HAS LED US TO BELIEVE HE WOULD TRADE BUT WILL NOT FOLLOW THROUGH, I FIRMLY BELIEVE HE DOES NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE BACK. HE SAID IT WAS A JUNK DEAL. IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM TO SELL US. I BELIEVE THIS BRAUN HONDA ENTERVAN 2010 MODEL MAY NEED A FORMAL RECALL. SOME HANDICAPPED PEOPLE MAY NOT BE REMOVING THE FRONT SEATS TO NOTICE THESE WATER PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE MOLD WHEN THE CARPET REMAINS WET. I ALSO HAVE CONCERNS THAT CARBON MONOXIDE COULD BE ENTERING THE VEHICLE IF WATER CAN GET IN CLOSE TO THE FIREWALL. WE BELIEVE DURING THE CONVERSION SOMETHING GOT OUT OF ALIGNMENT CAUSING EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND STEERING PROBLEMS,. I HAVE KEPT ALL DOCUMENTATION AND HAVE PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED ANCHORS AND THE WATER PUDDLING AND EVEN FROZEN IN THE WINTER. *TR

WHEN BRAKING AT 60 MPH OR HIGHER, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHIMMIES. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN MY HANDS. ONCE THE SPEED IS BELOW 60 MPH, THE SHIMMY STOPS. I TOOK IT TO MCGRATH HONDA IN CHICAGO AND AFTER AN INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THE FRONT BRAKES WERE NEW AND THAT THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID THEIR MECHANIC THOUGHT THE SHAKE WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE REAR BRAKES!! I AGREED TO LET THEM REPAIR THE REAR BRAKES. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.I MAY HAVE PURCHASED REAR BRAKES NEEDLESSLY! I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT ARE LIKE MINE. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT SOME OWNER'S HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED AND THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING AS TO THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT WILL CAUSE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTERMARKET AUTOMOTIVE RIMS FAILED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS OF NORMAL DRIVING. MODA MD9 OR MD9610 WERE LISTED AS A RECOMMENDED WINTER DRIVING RIM BY A LARGE ONLINE RETAILER OUT OF SOUTH BEND INDIANA. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME NOTICED STRONG VIBRATION ISSUES. AN APPROVED TIRE INSTALLER REVIEWED THE RIMS AND STATED ALL 4 RIMS WERE EGG SHAPED AND COULD NOT BE BALANCED. RIM RUNOUT SPECS OUT OF RANGE. EGG SHAPED CONDITION CREATES STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AND AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. RETAILER THROUGH THEIR PRODUCT SUPPORT, DENIED ANY PRODUCT ISSUES AND STATED THE ONLY WAY WHEELS COULD HAVE DEFORMED WAS THROUGH ABNORMAL USE. ALL 4 RIMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL AND HAVE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT RIMS USED ON THIS HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES OVER SEVERAL YEARS OF USE. FEEL THE PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO DEFECTIVE WHEELS OR RIMS. *TR

OUR 2010 HONDAY ODYSSEY HAS ROLLED BACKWARD WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN "PARK" TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE AS IT ROLLED 'ONLY' ABOUT 18 INCHES. THE SECOND TIME THE VAN WAS AGAIN IN "PARK", AND THE KEYS WERE OUT OF THE IGNITION, A FEW HOURS LATER A NEIGHBOR CAME TO INFORM US THAT THE VAN HAD ROLLED INTO THE STREET/ALLEY WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 7 FEET FROM THE ORIGINAL PARKING SPOT. THE VAN IS PARKED IN AN ALMOST FLAT LOCATION, THE "INCLINE" OF THE DRIVEWAY IS STANDARD RAIN RUN-OFF GRADE SO LESS THAN 2% APPROXIMATELY. *TR
