2012 Honda Odyssey complaints

THERE IS A POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND THE FOLLOWING WAS REPORTED: "HEARD NOISE COMING FROM POWER STEERING" "COMPARED TO NEW UNIT AND HAD SAME NOISE" "NOISE IS FROM PRESSURE BEING PUT ON PUMP ON TIGHT TURNS. NO ISSUE WITH THE SYSTEM FOUND" "NO REPAIRS TO BE MADE AT THIS TIME". FEEL NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

ROTORS HAVE WARPED IN A TIME FRAME OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF NORMAL. ROTORS ARE DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THEY CAN GET OVERHEATED AND WARP DUE TO BEING UNABLE TO COOL OFF BETWEEN USES. VEHICLE WEIGHT COMBINED WITH POOR DESIGN OF ROTORS CREATE WEAR AND TEAR THAT HAPPENS MORE QUICKLY THAN WHAT SHOULD BE ACCEPTABLE THEREFORE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE UNDERSIZED AND WILL WARP WITH USE CAUSING VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. THE HOMELINK STAYS ON EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF WITH KEY REMOVED CAUSING THIEF TO OPEN YOUR GARAGE DOOR WHEN THEY BREAK INTO THE CAR AND HAVING ACCESS TO HOMES BECAUSE THE HOMELINK STAYS ON CONSTANTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED, BUT WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. IT REMAINED IN THE MIDDLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR MOTOR AND ROLLERS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON FOR NO REASON. TAKEN TO HONDA DEALER, AND THEY SAID THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AFTER TESTING AND IT WILL COST ME WELL OVER $200. TO REPLACE.ISN'T THIS A SAFETY PROBLEM, AND UNDER A WARRANTY? I NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE THAT THIS DEALER IS TRUSTWORTHY!I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHT ON AND IT WOULD NOT GO OFF.

WE HAD SOMETHING PLUGGED INTO THE AC OUTLET IN THE THIRD ROW. CAR WAS RUNNING BUT PARKED IN A LOT. CHILD PULLED CORD AND THE WHOLE COVER OF THE UNIT WAS PULLED OFF. EXPOSED PROTECTED WIRES BUT ALSO A SCREW THAT WAS "LIVE". CHILD RECEIVED FULL BODY ELECTRIC SHOCK TOUCHING THE SCREW. COVER WAS EASILY REPLACED, BUT CHILDREN SIT IN THE THIRD ROW.

ANY TIME BRIGHT SUNSHINE IS PRESENT; IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE TEMPERATURE &/OR RADIO SETTINGS. THE BLACK LETTERING ON THE LIGHT BLUE BACKGROUND FORCES A DRIVER TO "LEAN DOWN" COMPLETELHY TAKING THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD IN AN ATTEMPT TO READ THE INFORMATION. AND, EVEN THEN, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO READ THE INFORMATION! IF THE BACKGROUND WAS BLACK & THE LETTERS WERE WHITE (LIKE THE DATE & TIME ON THE GPS SCREEN) THE "PROBLEM" WOULD BE COMPLETELY ELIMINATED. NOTE: THIS PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT IN THE 2015 MODEL'S. I HAVE TRIED IN VAIN TO CONTACT HONDA ENGINEERING BUT IT IS "IMPOSSIBLE" TO GET THROUGH TO THEM! FURTHERMORE, MY HONDA DEALER SAID: "THERE IS NO WAY TO GET TO THE PROPER PEOPLE AT HONDA." PLEASE HELP!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTING INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V143000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN AFTER A FULL STOP, I ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 5 MPH AND WAS ABOUT TO PARK (LESS THAN 20FT FROM STOP SIGN) WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED. I WAS UNABLE TO BREAK AFTER REPEATEDLY APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I WAS UNABLE TO AVOID A HEAD ON COLLISION. AIRBAGS DEPLOYED INCLUDING THE SIDE BAGS NEXT TO MY 6 YEAR OLD SON. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 2 MONTHS AGO FROM GROSSINGER HONDA ON WESTERN AVE. IN CHICAGO, A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER.

WHEN DOING DOWN HILL ON THE FWY ABOUT 65 MILES THE BRAKES START TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. WHICH IS VERY SCARY. I HAVE READ ONLINE EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE PROBLEM AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO FIX IT. THEY STATED THE ROUTER NEEDS TO BE RESURFACE BUT THIS IS ONLY 16000 MILES ON THE CAR.. WHICH MAKES NO SENSE.

HAVE HAD FOR A LONG TIME EPISODES OF THE DOORS LOCKING FOR NO REASON BOTH WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND WHILE ANY SPEED FROM STREETS TO INTERSTATE. HONDA RE-PROGRAMMED THE LOCKS, BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE IT ONLY HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE EVERY 2 WEEKS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANOTHER PROBLEM, I JUST LET IT GO. THE INCIDENT OF CONCERN HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. THE SLIDING DOOR CLOSED ON THE HAND OF AN ELDERLY WOMAN WHO WAS GETTING OUT OF THE FRONT SEAT AND WE WERE UNABLE TO UNLOCK IT AND GET IT OFF HER HAND OR TO SLIDE HER HAND OUT OF THE DOOR. THE DOOR WAS COMPLETELY CLOSED AND FLUSH WITH THE REST OF THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 12 MINUTES AS 911 WAS ARRIVING, THE DOOR UNLOCKED ITSELF AND THEY WERE ABLE TO OPEN IT. I HAD BEEN USING THE BUTTONS ON THE DRIVER'S DASH, BOTH FRONT DOORS AND THE KEY FOB WITH THE CAR OFF AND TURNED ON AND HAD PULLED ON THE DOOR HANDLE AND HAMMERED ON THE DOOR WITHOUT SUCCESS. WHEN THE DOOR UNLOCKED ITSELF, I HAD ONCE AGAIN TRIED THE DRIVER'S DOOR BUTTON WITH THE CAR RUNNING AND THE RESPONSE WAS DELAYED ENOUGH THAT I HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE CAR AND WAS ABOUT AT THE DRIVER'S WHEEL WHEN WE HEARD THE UNLOCKING CLUNK. CAN SEND PHOTOS OF THE LOCATION OF HER HAND IF IT WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANKFULLY ONLY ONE FINGER WAS BROKEN. HONDA CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SENSORS. THEY DID SAY THAT I HAVE A BAD CELL ON MY BATTERY, BUT THE CAR STARTS FINE AND I CAN'T SEE HOW THAT WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THE WEIRD LOCKING OF DOORS WAS HAPP

WHILE MOVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH DOWN A MODERATE GRADE, I APPLIED LIGHT TO MODERATE BRAKING. I IMMEDIATELY FELT A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END AND SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS VIBRATION AND SHAKING ONLY OCCURRED WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE SENSATION WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO QUESTION STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE SO I EVENTUALLY VISITED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE FRONT ROTORS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT SEEMS PREMATURE FOR THE ROTORS TO NEED REPLACEMENT AFTER ONLY 29,000 MILES, PARTICULARLY CONSIDERING THAT THE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS THEMSELVES HAVE PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT. MY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY COMPELLED ME TO SPEND OVER $200 TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE ROTORS (AT THEIR RECOMMENDATION) WITH NEWLY DESIGNED HONDA ROTORS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS GENEROUS IN GIVING ME A DISCOUNT, (ORIGINAL COST WAS TO BE IN EXCESS OF $300) HOWEVER HONDA CORPORATION REFUSED THE COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS WHATSOEVER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND HAVE LEARNED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE. HONDA'S REDESIGN OF THE ROTORS AND COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMS THAT THERE IS A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES OF THIS VEHICLE. BRAKING AND STEERING CONTROL ARE COMPROMISED WHEN NEEDED MOST- GOING DOWN A HILL AT INTERSTATE SPEED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS, ONGOING SAFETY CONCERN FOR THIS VEHICLE AND ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. I WANT TO REITERATE THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE ALL THEY CAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THE INACTION LIES WITH HONDA C

HAD TO HAVE MY ROTORS SERVICED AROUND 40,000 MILES FOR BEING WARPED. NOW THE VAN IS AT 59,000 MILES AND THEY ARE WARPED AGAIN. I'VE CALLED HONDA CARE AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. READING ONLINE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE OWNED OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PAST AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS. THIS HAS TOO BE A VEHICLE DEFECT TO BE HAVING THIS TYPE OF ISSUE ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PADS ON THE CARE ARE GOOD.

AFTER 12K MILES MY VEHICLES BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY WARPED DESPITE NO BRAKE ABUSE OR ABNORMAL DRIVING. HIGH SPEED STOPPED IS AFFECTED BY LACK OF STABILITY. REVIEWING NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS, ONLINE PUBLICATIONS ETC I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR HAS EXTREMELY HIGH RATES OF SEVERE BRAKE WARPAGE WITH NORMAL USE. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT CHANGED THEIR BRAKE DESIGN OR MATERIAL TO COUNTER ACT THE ISSUE.

ALL 4 CONTINENTAL TIRES, SIZE 235.65.17, SN A3873VM2811, REPLACED AT 31K MILES DUE TO EXCESSIVE DRY ROT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION, THE CONTACT'S 10 YEAR OLD CHILD WAS SEATED IN A BOOSTER SEAT LOCATED ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT THAT WAS TETHERED FROM THE CEILING HAD SOMEHOW WRAPPED AROUND THE CHILD'S NECK, CAUSING THE CHILD TO STRANGLE. THE DRIVER HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT TO REMOVE IT FROM THE CHILD'S NECK. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE BELT COULD NOT BE IMMEDIATELY REMOVED BECAUSE IT HAD TO BE UNLOCKED AND THE LOCK WAS IMPEDED BETWEEN THE SEATS. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE...UPDATED 08/06/15 *BF UPDATED 10/19/2017*CN

NOTICED VIBRATION OF STEERING WHEEL AROUND 27500 MILES AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS WARPED FRONT ROTORS AT THE FRONT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ANOTHER DRIVER FAILED TO YIELD WHICH RESULTED IN A CRASH AT 35 MPH. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED; HOWEVER, THERE WAS A BLACK RESIDUE THAT CAME FROM THE AIR BAGS WHICH RESULTED IN SECOND DEGREE BURNS ON THE CONTACT'S EXPOSED SKIN. THE CONTACT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED AWAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

WHEN I WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER MY BATTERY LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

REAR RIGHT SIDE TAIL LIGHT DEVELOPED AN INTERIOR CRACK IN IT AND THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES OR DENTS INDICATING SOMEONE HIT IT. HONDA SAW THE DAMAGE WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT FOR REGULAR SERVICE AND REFUSED TO FIX IT SAYING THAT ITS OUR FAULT THAT THE TAILLIGHT CRACKED. THE MANAGER PRESSED ON THE CRACK WHICH MADE IT COME ALL THE WAY THROUGH.THE CAR IS HARDLY DRIVEN ONLY FOR FAMILY TRIPS AND IS HAND WASHED, WAXED, COVERED AND BEFORE BEING PLACED IN THE GARAGE FOR STORAGE AFTER EACH TRIP. *TR

JUDDER AND VIBRATES AND MAKES BUZZING SOUND CONSTANTLY BUT INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER AND HONDA STATE THIS IS IN RELATION TO THE ECO FEATURE. RESEARCH BY ME INDICATES EITHER TORQUE CONVERTER AND/OR REAR MOTOR MOUNT NEEDS REPLACING. IT SEEMS THE ISSUE IS WORSENING AS I WAS TOLD BY MY HONDA SERVICE TECH THAT IT WILL GET WORSE THE MORE MILES DRIVEN. PRESENTLY HAS 40K MILES AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAR LOST POWER ON OPEN HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO HONDA SERVICE...(UNRELATED) TO VIBRATION ISSUE. DID A COMPUTER UPDATE AND THAT TOOK CARE OF POWER ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FROM WHEN IT WAS NEW. EVERY 3000 MILES THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE GONE BAD. THEY HAVE BEEN RESURFACED AND REPLACED BY HONDA 2 TIMES. EACH TIME THE ISSUE OF VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES RECURRED. I HAVE SINCE RAN OUT OF WARRANTY (60K MILES ON THE ODO). AT 50K I REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS WITH AFTERMARKET. THOSE TOO HAVE WARPED. THE BRAKES FOR THIS VEHICLE ARE SIMPLY TOO SMALL AND OVERWHELMED OR THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY WRONG WITH THESE VANS. I SEE ALMOST HALF OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, YET HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT. HONDA QUALITY OF THE PAST SEEMS TO BE GONE AS ALL PRIOR HONDA'S WERE BULLET PROOF. THIS ONE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT EVERYONE HAS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VAN NEW (MAY 2012). AROUND 41,000 MILES (AUG 2014) HAD WARNING LIGHTS & CODES COME UP. HONDA REPLACED CYLINDERS 1-3 & WORK ORDER ALSO SHOWED SERVICE BULLETIN 13-081, REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN I SMELLED OIL & SAW A SMALL LEAK IN SEPT 2014. HONDA FOUND LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKET, REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. TOOK VAN TO FLORIDA. WHEN WE GOT THERE WE HAD TO TAKE THE VAN TO A HONDA SHOP FOR A LOW TONE KNOCKING NOISE WHILE IDLING AND LOUDER WHEN ACCELERATING. THEY HAD THE VAN FOR 4 DAYS. HONDA PROVIDED A FREE RENTAL. HONDA WROTE ON WORK ORDER. 43307 WORN CAMSHAFT LOBE CAUSING KNOCKING NOISE 36108, PERFORMED INSPECTION FOUND NOISE COMING FROM FRONT CYLINDER HEAD, CALLED TECHLINE, TECHLINE INSTRUCTED TO INSPECT FOR WORN CAM SHAFT, PULLED VALVE COVER FOUND CYLINDER #6 INTAKE LOBE WORN. REMOVED AND REPLACED FRONT CYLINDER HEAD CAMSHAFT & CAMSHAFT SEAL. NOISE GONE. IT ALSO RESPONDS BETTER WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL & GAS MILEAGE IMPROVED. I BET I HAVE HAD ABOUT $5000 WORTH OF WARRANTY WORK DONE AT THIS TIME JUST FROM UNDER THE HOOD. DURING ALL THIS, I CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU & HONDA WAS NOTIFIED. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO CORPORATE HONDA FROM THE BEGINNING ABOUT THIS VAN & THEY ALWAYS WOULD SAY THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. FINALLY I GET A CALL FROM CORPORATE HONDA TO TELL ME THEY FOUND NOTHING FROM MY VISIT INVOLVING REPLACEMENT OF MY CYLINDERS. BOY WAS HE MISINFORMED AND GOT AN EARFULL. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY FRONT ROT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED WITHOUT WARNING AND IT WOULD STOP ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD NOT FAR FROM MY HOME. MY SON WAS SITTING BEHIND ME ON THE CAR SEAT. AND WHEN I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, I HEARD A HUGE BANG BEHIND ME AND THEN SUDDENLY MY SON'S CRYING! I LOOKED BEHIND ME AND SURPRISINGLY FOUND THAT THE SEAT BEHIND ME ON WHICH MY SON AND HIS CAR SEAT WAS SITTING FLIPPED OVER AND HIT MY SEAT IN THE BACK. MY SON'S FACE WAS INJURED AND BLEEDING. AND IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO HIS EYES. I WAS THINKING HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN! I WAS JUST AT A SPEED OF 25 MPH AND THE SEAT CAN FLIP OVER LIKE THAT. IF I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR HIGH WAY, WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT? IT'S TOO DANGEROUS! I CANNOT IMAGINE IT. DESPITE THE INJURY ON MY SON'S FACE, I DO THINK MY SON HAS MENTAL INJURY. AFTER THAT HAPPENED, HE WOKE UP AND CRIED SEVERAL TIMES DURING NIGHT. HOWEVER, HE WAS SUCH A GOOD SLEEPER BEFORE. AND HE WAS AFRAID TO TAKE ANY VEHICLE AGAIN. HE BECAME VERY INDEPENDENT SINCE THEN. THEREFORE, I REALLY THINK THERE IS MENTAL INJURY ON MY SON. *TR

TPM(TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR) LIGHT INDICATING LOW PRESSURE WHEN THERE IS NO ERROR. DEALER (SAN MARCO,TEXAS) CLAIMS THE ISSUE IS DUE TO CELL PHONE CHARGER INTERFERENCE WITH TPM SYSTEM. DEALER CLAIMS HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN TO LIMIT THE CELL PHONE CHARGER TO LESS THAN TWENTY MINUTES TO PREVENT THE TPM FAULT CODE AND DASH LIGHT FROM BEING SET. IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPTION, HONDA AMERICA HAS WHAT IS KNOWN AS A 'CONDUCTIVE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE" ISSUE WITH THEIR SYSTEM. BASED ON WHAT HAS BEEN COMMUNICATED, I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELEMENTARY DESIGN FLAW WITH THEIR SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS EITHER THE TRANSMITTED ENERGY OR INTERNAL GENERATED SIGNALS OF CELL PHONE TO BE COUPLED INTO THEIR SYSTEM USING THE BATTERY LINES. *TR

MY 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU BRAKE AT HIGH SPEED INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL AS IF YOU WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE HAMILTON HONDA DEALER FOR FIRST TIME IN 28 SEP 2013 WHO RE-SURFACED THE FRONT ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY AT 12428 MILES. THE ISSUE WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 7000 MILES AND REAPPEARED AT 19963 MILES IN JULY 2014. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO THE SAME DEALER THEY AGAIN RE-SURFACED BOTH FRONT AND BACK ROTORS + BALANCED ALL WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER THE ISSUE CAME BACK AGAIN IN 2700 MILES CURRENTLY AT 22645 MILES. THE MECHANIC WENT WITH ME FOR THE TEST DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO SHOW HIM HOW THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN YOU BRAKE IN SPEEDS EXCESS OF 55 MILES. THE DEALER CHECKED AND SAID ALL THE ROTORS ARE WITHIN SPECS AND CANNOT BE FURTHER RE-SURFACED. I NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF ISSUE IN ANY OF MY OTHER VEHICLES I OWNED SO FAR. THIS ISSUE IS SHOWING UP FOR 3RD TIME BUT IT IS MORE SEVERE NOW. WHAT IS MY WAY FORWARD SINCE AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT COMING BACK WITH ANY RESOLUTION EVEN AFTER COMPLAINING TO THEM (IT IS MORE THAN 9 BUSINESS DAYS TODAY). I REPORTED TO AMERICAN HONDA ON 22-OCT-2014 AFTER SERVICING FROM DEALER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WAS SHAKING. SO TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE ROTORS HAD WARPED AND NEED TO BE RESURFACED. IT APPEARS TO BE TOO SOON SINCE THE BRAKE PADS WERE FINE. SO I DID PAY FOR THE RESURFACING. ANY ONE ELSE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS PLEASE REPORT IT. THE ROTORS SHOULD NOT WARP AT 30000 MILES. *TR

THE FARTHEST REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT TORE IN HALF WHEN PULLED DOWN TO BE USED. WHEN INSPECTED IT WAS NOTED THAT THE PLASTIC NEAR THE CEILING THAT THE BELT ENTERS AND RETRACTS INTO WAS JAGGED AND SHARP. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS IN THIS VEHICLE AND NO KNOWN DAMAGE TO THAT AREA OF PLASTIC. THE AREA THAT IS JAGGED IS ALSO LOCATED IN A POSITION THAT DAMAGE TO THE AREA WOULD BE HARD TO DO FROM AN EXTERNAL FORCE AND APPEARS TO BE MORE LIKELY FROM THE NORMAL USE OF THE SEAT BELT RUBBING OVER THE PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC AREA AROUND THE JAGGED AREA DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF WEAR OR DAMAGE EITHER. *TR

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED THIS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT RECURRED. APPLICATION OF BRAKES CAUSE SHIMMY WHEN GOING DOWNHILL. TOOK IT TO DEALER AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY AGAIN TURNED ROTORS AND EVENED UP THE BRAKE PADS WHICH DID FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER COULD NOT OFFER A NON-SPECULATIVE EXPLANATION WHY THIS HAS TWICE OCCURRED NOW. *TR

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, HAVE NOTICE A SHAKING OF THE AUTOMOBILE WHEN BRAKING. RECENTLY IT HAS BECOME SEVERE ENOUGH THAT I CONSIDERED IT A SAFETY HAZARD AND TOOK TO DEALER. DEALER SERVICE STATED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEED TO RESURFACED. SERVICE REP STATED THAT THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON ON ODYSSEY, BUT CONSIDERED NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. HAVE NEVER SEEN BRAKE ROTORS WARP AT 30K MILES. MAJOR OF MILEAGE ON CAR DUE TO HIGHWAY TRAVEL; NOT STOP AND GO CITY TRAVEL. THIS SEEMS TO BE PREMATURE FOR A BRAKE FAILURE. I AM HAVING THE BRAKE ROTORS RESURFACED (AS RECOMMENDED BY HONDA SERVICE), BUT AM CONCERNED THAT THIS ISSUE WILL RETURN (SINCE THEY WILL BE THE SAME ROTORS). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2 YEAR OLD HONDA ODYSSEY W/15,000 MILES ON A 35 MPH STATE ROAD IN THE EVENING. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VAN LOST COMPLETE POWER, EVERYTHING INSIDE WENT BLACK, BRAKES WENT, NO LIGHTS IN OR OUTSIDE WORKING, AND THE STEERING GOT VERY STIFF, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VAN OFF THE ROAD. MY 5 YOUNG CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL. (AGES 14, 6, 4, 2, & 5 MONTHS). THANKFULLY NO VEHICLES WERE ON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME OR STOPPED BC I WOULD HAVE HURT THEM BADLY. I JUST MISSED GETTING REAR ENDED BY 3 OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL. THANKFULLY WE WEREN'T TRAVELING THE BUSY INTERSTATE THAT EVENING, OR THIS COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN FATAL FOR MY WHOLE FAMILY AND POSSIBLY OTHERS AS WELL. PREVIOUS TO THIS (APPROX. 3 MONTHS OR SO) I HAD MADE COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT A POPPING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN, WHEN A SHARP TURN WAS MADE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS "NORMAL". I ALSO HAVE A CONSTANT VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL, WHICH HONDA BALANCED THE TIRES AND RE SURFACED THE ROADERS. FOR A VEHICLE WHICH ALMOST COST ME $36,000 & 2 YEARS OLD WITH LOW MILES, SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THE ISSUE WITH THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER NEEDS TO BE DIAGNOSED AND CORRECTLY FIXED, OR TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BEFORE IT CAUSES SOMEONE TO BE SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED!!!! FIX IT CORRECTLY OR I WANT THE VEHICLE REPLACED OR MY MONEY BACK TO BUY A SAFER VEHICLE....NOT WE'RE UNSURE OF WHAT THE ISSUE IS OR THINK WE FIXED IT. I DON'T NEED MY FAMILY OR ANY OTHERS KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE POWER TO THE ENGINE STARTED DIMINISHING SUDDENLY WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. QUICKLY I COULD BARELY ACCELERATE. APPARENTLY THE ECO DRIVING MODE HAD SHIFT OFF A FEW CYCLING ERA OF THE ENGINE MAKING THE CAR IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND ALSO PROHIBITIVELY DANGEROUS.... *TR

CAR VIBRATES AND SHAKES WHEN ON HIGHWAY AND DECELERATING FROM ABOUT 65 MPH TO EVEN JUST 50 MPH, CONTINUOUS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC , WHO REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPENING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW OPEN, IT EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000.

WHENEVER YOU PRESS THE BRAKES THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES A LOT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500.

MY 6 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR VAN FROM WORK TO HOME AND WAS ON A STATE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BURST OUT CATASTROPHICALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO OUT OF CONTROL FOR A BRIEF MOMENT BEFORE SHE MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 15 K MILES AND IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. THE TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL MAKE THAT CAME WITH THE NEW CAR. THE VEHICLE (AND THE TIRES) HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AS REQUIRED BY THE CAR MAKER AND THE LAST TIRE ROTATION AND RE BALANCE WAS PERFORMED APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE TIRE AND THIS WAS A SAFETY RELATED EVENT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. WE HAVE FURTHER DETAILS OF TIRE IF NEEDED. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE STEERING BEGINS TO SHAKE AS SOON AS BRAKES ARE APPLIED (EVEN LIGHTLY). THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA MINIVAN AND I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH MY PREVIOUS ONE. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS. *JS

WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO FT. JACKSON SOUTH CAROLINA TO ATTEND OUR DAUGHTERS BASIC COMBAT TRAINING GRADUATION, WITH 4 ADULTS AND 2 CHILDREN ON BOARD WITH BAGS AT CARGO REAR. WHEN DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF 70MPH AND EVERY TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES I FELT A PRONOUNCE SHAKING, VIBRATION AND PULSATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL, AND FRONT PART OF THE VEHICLE, AND ALSO MY SEATING INFRONT NOTICE IT AND SHE WAS TERRIFIED OF WHAT GONNA HAPPENED. THIS IS HAPPENING THE ENTIRE ROUND TRIP FROM CLEVELAND OHIO TO SOUTH CAROLINA. IM RISKING THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY. WHEN I TRIED TO REPLICATE IT BY MYSELF THE CAR WILL NOT SHAKE. THE DEALER EXAMINE AND STATED THAT FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE SLIGHTLY OUT OF ROUND. AND TO REPLACE IT WILL CHARGED ME 379.95 AS WHAT THEY SAID ITS PAST BEYOND 12,000 MILES. VERY UNRELIABLE PARTS THEY PUT, VERY POOR METAL QUALITY OF BRAKE ROTORS CANT WITHSTAND NORMAL FRICTION. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY ON FEBRUARY 18, 2012 FROM SPREEN HONDA. WE RECEIVE 3 FREE OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS. THE FIRST OIL CHANGE DID NOT INCLUDE A TIRE ROTATION, BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE IN GREAT SHAPE. THE 2ND OIL CHANGE INCLUDED A TIRE ROTATION. THIS WAS APPROX. IN JUNE OF 2012. AFTER THE TIRE ROTATION, WE EXPERIENCED SOME SHAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS WHEN WE APPLIED THE BRAKES. TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO SPREEN HONDA AND JIM, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND IT WAS FROM 'THE HEAT'. HE RESURFACED THEM FOR FREE UNDER THE WARRANTY. IN JUNE OF 2013, WE HAD BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES REPLACED. THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED AS PART OF THE BRAKE INSTALLATION. WE REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES IN MARCH OF 2014. THIS WAS THE 2ND SET OF NEW TIRES FOR THIS VAN. AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION WAS DONE BY FIRESTONE ON 5/3/2014. WE EXPERIENCED SHAKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, ESPECIALLY DOWN HILL. RETURNED VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE AND TALKED TO THE MANAGER. HE DID A BRAKE INSPECTION AND STATED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH SURFACE ON THEM TO RESURFACE SO THEY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. LOOKED OVER MY RECORDS FOR THE TOYOTA CAMRY I TRADED IN TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NOT A HISTORY OF MISUSE OF BRAKES AND THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED AFTER FIVE YEARS. CALLED HONDA AND SPOKE TO THEIR RECALL DEPARTMENT WHO TOLD ME THERE WERE NO RECALLS. RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL FROM HONDA WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING HE CAN DO AND NOTED THE ACCOUNT. TO

STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES SEVERELY WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE BRAKES WERE HOT DUE TO STEEP DESCENTS WHILE MOUNTAIN DRIVING. STEERING WAS SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED DUE TO EXTREME SHIMMYING EFFECTING THE ENTIRE FRONT END. BRAKING WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. *TR

I LEASE A HONDA ODYSSEY YEAR 2012. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, AND DURING THE SUMMER IT RAINS DAILY HERE. ALREADY IN TWO DIFFERENT INSTANCES WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A SHALLOW PUDDLE OF WATER THE CAR'S BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHTED ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP- AUTONATION HONDA HOLLYWOOD, 1450 NORTH STATE RD 7, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021- SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED IN THE SUMMER OF 2013. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE BELT WAS GETTING WET, AND TO AVOID GOING THROUGH PUDDLES OF WATER, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THIS REGION! I SPOKE TO THE SUPERVISOR AND HE TOLD ME THEY RECEIVED MANY REPORTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT HEADQUARTERS HAD NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL. SO, HE COULDN'T PROVIDE ANY SOLUTION. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 AND 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, AND I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT COMPLETE MY TURN. I WAS YESTERDAY AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR MY CAR'S SERVICE AGAIN, AND I MENTIONED IT TO THE SUPERVISOR AGAIN. HE SAID HE HEARD THIS SEVERAL TIMES, BUT HE COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY SOLUTION. WITH THE RAIN SEASON APPROACHING, IT IS A MATTER OF TIME FOR ME OR ANOTHER DRIVER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR, AND MOST OF THE TIMES USED TO TRANSPORT LITTLE CHILDREN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CHILD SOMEHOW WAS ALE TO WRAP THE MIDDLE REAR SEAT BELT AROUND HER NECK. THE CONTACT HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT FROM THE CHILD'S NECK BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE A TRADITIONAL RELEASE BUTTON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HEADLIGHTS ARE AIMED TOO LOW, DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME $85 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT ADJUSTED AS THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, VEHICLE WAS LEASED AS NEW; ADJUSTED IT MYSELF BUT IT IS AT THE HIGHEST SETTING AND STILL TOO LOW, ADDED FACTORY FOG LAMPS BUT DID NOT REALLY HELP WITH FORWARD ILLUMINATION, LIGHTS ARE OVERRUN BY VEHICLE ON HIGHWAYS GOING 65-70 MPH. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY , BUT I'M WAITING FOR HONDA TO RECALL AND REPLACE THESE POORLY DESIGNED HEADLAMPS. I DO A LOT OF NIGHT DRIVING AS I WORK NIGHTS, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CATCH THIS ON THE TEST DRIVE, AS TEST DRIVES ARE USUALLY DONE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. *JS
