2014 Honda Odyssey complaints

WE WERE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IN CA AND OUR 2014 ODYSSEY ENGINE BEGAN TO CLUNK AND WHOLE CAR JERKED (LIKE RUNNING OVER SOMETHING LIKE A SPEED BUMP) EACH TIME WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH SECOND GEAR. FELT LIKE HITTING SOMETHING OR ENGINE FALLING OUT. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME WE TRIED TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 20-30 MILES PER HOUR. IT CONTINUED TO JOLT/JERK/AND CLUNK FOR 20 MILES AS WE DROVE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MADE MY HEART SKIP BEATS AS IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO FALL OUT/LIKE BEING IN A CRASH. CONTACTED HONDA BUT THEIR SERVICE WAS ABOUT TO CLOSE. WE PULLED OVER TO DO OUR ERRAND AND WHEN WE RESTARTED THE CAR IT STOPPED. THE SHIFTING ON THE VEHICLE IS NOT SMOOTH THROUGH GEARS. TOOK NEXT DAY TO HONDA AND THEY WILL NOT FIX AS NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES CAME UP AND CANNOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE ISSUE NOW. NOW THERE IS A TSB TO UPDATE SOFTWARE BUT DEALERSHIP WILL NOT DO UNLESS ISSUE IS DUPLICATED AGAIN. SAFETY ISSUE THAT YOUR BRAND NEW VEHICLE MAY HAVE ENGINE TRANSMISSION FAIL AT ANY POINT DURING TRAVEL. JOLTING IS SO SEVERE WHEN IT HAPPENS THAT IT COULD CAUSE YOU TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE HONDA ODYSSEY HAS TERRIBLE BRAKE SHIMMYING, ESPECIALLY UNDER A LITTLE MORE LOAD/HIGHER SPEEDS OR DOWN HILLS. THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND THAT THE UNDER-SIZED ROTORS WARP EXTREMELY EASILY. HONDA DOES NOT COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY AND EVEN THE REPAIR REP KNEW IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE, IT AFFECTS ALL RECENT YEARS OF THE ODYSSEY YET NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD A FULL FRONTAL IMPACT , THE IMPACT WAS ALL THE WAY TO THE ENGINE BUT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED , MY FRONT PASSENGER HEAD WAS HIT AGAINST THE MIRROR/VISOR I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE . CALLED AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO READ THE SRS AIRBAGS MANUAL ON WHY THEY HAVEN'T DEPLOYED. *TR

I WAS IN TRAFFIC AND DRIVING A STEADY 50 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN. AFTER I REALIZED WHAT THE SITUATION WAS I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, STEERED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AS SOON AS IT WAS SAFE TO DO AND STOPPED. I JUST HAD THE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER REPLACED WHEN THIS EVENT HAPPENED 3.7 MILES FROM THE REPAIR SHOP. I SUSPECTED A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CHANGE. AFTER STOPPING I CHECKED FOR OIL UNDER ENGINE (NONE) AND THEN CHECKED THE DIPSTICK (FULL). I HAD THE VAN TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE THEIR PERSONNEL CHECKED UNDER THE ENGINE FOR AN OIL LEAK AND THEN CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AS I HAD DONE. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE THE VAN TO HONDA. IT?S BEEN A WEEK AND HONDA SAID I NEED NEW HEADS FOR THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE TIMING ?JUMPED?. THE OIL CHANGE HAD NO EFFECT ON THIS FAILURE. SO FAR, NOBODY AT HONDA CAN TELL ME WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE TIMING TO ?JUMP?. THE TOTAL REPAIR IS BEING DONE BY HONDA AND IS COVERED BY THE HONDA'S NEW CAR WARRANTY. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VAN PRIOR TO THIS UNEXPECTED AND SUDDEN FAILURE. *TR

RPMS RACE WHILE VAN IS IN IDLE AN TAKES OFF WITH A JUMP IN TRANSMISSION. CLANKING NOISE METAL ON METAL IN REAR BRAKES, DOWNSHIFTS AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 35 MPH, SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN AND TRANSMISSION JUMPS FEELS LIKE BEING REAR ENDED, PARKING BRAKE DOESN'T ENGAGE AT TIMES, ON FLAT WHEN PUTTING INTO PARK TRANSMISSION CLUNKS AND VEHICLE HAS A DEFINITE MOVEMENT LIKE SOMETHING FALLING OUT OR ON VEHICLE, LOOSES POWER AT 65 MPH NO MATTER HOW MUCH THE GAS PEDAL IS FLOORED THEN SUDDENLY JUMPS INTO HIGH SPEED THRUSTING VAN FORWARD, TRANSMISSION JUMPS SEVERELY WHEN PARKED ON A GRADED SLOPE AND MAKE METAL CLANKING SOUND. DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO ISSUES AND THIS IS ALL NORMAL. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND I AM WORRIED THAT SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT ONE POINT SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO SENSORS WERE PERFORMED BUT DID NOT CORRECT ISSUE. BRAKE ISSUE DISCOVERED AND ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CORRECT TWICE. TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. ALSO A LOUD ELECTRONIC COMPUTER SOUNDING LIKE AN ANCIENT REBOOT OF AN OLD COMPUTER IS GREATLY NOTICEABLE WHEN THE PROBLEMS ACT UP. TOLD THIS IS NORMAL AN NO PROBLEMS BY THE DEALER. I FEEL I AM BEING IGNORED AND TREATED LIKE A STUPID PERSON EACH TIME I CALL. SERVICE MANAGER ACTUALLY STATED THAT HIS HANDS ARE TIED AND TOOK TO NEXT LEVEL OF DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER WHO STATED THIS IS NORMAL. I BEG TO DIFFER. THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER DID NOT SPEAK WITH ME AT ALL. WHAT GAME IS HONDA PLAYING. SAFETY ISSUES AND PERFORMANCE OF VE

THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WHERE THE ENGINE BEGAN RACING AS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. AS I WAS SLOWING TO PARK THE CAR AT WORK WHEN I FELT THE CAR SURGE AS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. I PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKE AND FOUND THE CAR RACING AT 2000 RPM. I WAS ABLE TO FUMBLE FOR MY CELL PHONE AND GET A SHORT VIDEO OF THE RACING ENGINE. AS I WAS FILMING I MOVED MY FOOT SLIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE AND CAR CAME OUT OF THE RACING CONDITION AND SETTLED TO A NORMAL IDLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. THEY IMPLIED THAT THEY WANTED THEIR REGIONAL PERSON TO EVALUATE THE CAR BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED SINCE TAKING THE VEHICLE IN. *TR

OWNER HEARS FRONT END RAPPING WHEN TIRES HIT ROUGH ROAD OR CRACKS/BUMPS. HONDA REPLACING L/R STRUTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE SPEED DECREASED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,300.

LOUD CLUNKING IS LEFT FRONT SUSPENSION WHE GOING OVER A BUMP. YOU CAN FEEL IT IN STEERING WHEEL COULD BE STRUT OR STRUT MOUNTING PLATE ON SHOCK TOWER! *JS

WE GOT THIS BRAND NEW 2014 ODYSSEY IN EARLY 2014, NOW WITH LESS THAN 7500 MILES. RECENTLY WE HAVE BEEN NOTICING ROUGH, JERKY TRANSMISSION SHIFTING (VERY NOTICEABLE BETWEEN LOW GEARS). TODAY I WENT TO THE HONDA SERVICE AND INFORMED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES. THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS SURPRISED, AND TOLD ME THERE IS NO SUCH ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT. AFTER INSISTING, HE MADE AN APPOINTMENT THIS COMING THURSDAY MORNING SO THAT HIS MECHANIC TO RIDE WITH ME SO THAT I CAN SHOW HIM. I HOPE THE PROBLEM CAN BE DUPLICATED WHEN WE DO THE TEST RIDE WITH THEM. AND THEN I AM AFRAID IF THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN DURING THIS TEST RIDE OR IF IT DOES THEY ARE NOT BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE OR WORST IS THEY MAY NOT ADMIT THERE IS ANY TRANSMISSION JERKING AND TELL ME ..... EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE ETC. I HOPE THIS CAR IS NOT A LEMON AND WE END UP FIGHTING IN A BATTLE WITH HONDA PURSUING THE LEMON LAW. I COULD NOT FIND ANYWHERE ON THE HONDA OR HONDA OWNER'S WEBSITE ANY LINK SO THAT I COULD SUBMIT TO HONDA THESE ISSUES. I LIKE TO FIND OTHER WEBSITE WHERE I COULD FIND MORE INFORMATION ON SUCH ISSUES. *TR

I PURCHASED THE 2014 ODYSSEY IN MARCH 2014. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER, GOING DOWN RAMP TO FREE WAY (IT SEEMS THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SLIP OR SOMETHING) AND IT HAD A HARD SHAKE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON FREEWAY AT HIGH SPEED FOR A FEW MINUTES SEEM FINE. WHEN I EXITED TO CHECK OUT, THE SHAKE CAME BACK AT LOWER GEAR. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURN BACK ON AND IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN. HOWEVER, JUST RECENTLY, JUST LAST WEEK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. ALSO, I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS KEEP HUNTING FOR GEARS .. UP SHIFT AND DOWN SHIFT AND MAKING THE RIDES VERY ROUGH. I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT LATER. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE OF GOOD CRASH TEST RESULT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BUY A CAR TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP. *TR

BOUGHT MY VAN IN MARCH OF 2014, EARLY ON IT STARTED HAVING VARIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE AC/HEAT BLOWER RANDOMLY INCREASES IN POWER (IF IT WAS ON LOW, IT WOULD ALL OF A SUDDEN START BLOWING FULL FORCE AND EVEN THE BARS ON THE SCREEN INCREASES).THE BLINKER RANDOMLY REFUSES TO TURN OFF EVEN AFTER MANUALLY TURNING IT OFF. THE COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AT TIMES. IT RANDOMLY BEEPS WITH NO VEHICLE IN SIGHT AND AT OTHER TIMES, WHEN IT SHOULD BEEP, IT DOESN'T. THE NAVIGATION/RADIO SCREENS COMPLETELY BLACK OUT, ONLY SHOWING YELLOW LINES THAT YOU NORMALLY SEE WHEN BACKING UP. DURING THIS TIME, THE COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM, BACKUP CAMERA, RADIO AND HEATING CONTROLS ALL DO NOT WORK.THE SCREENS STAY BLACKED OUT EVEN DURING DRIVING/BACKING UP, THEN ONCE THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND RESTARTED,THINGS GO BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS RANDOMLY, AND VARY IN HOW LONG IT MALFUNCTIONS FOR. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE SOME PICTURES AND CAPTURED VIDEO TO SHOW IT MALFUNCTIONING. HONDA DEALER INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS USER ERROR. THEY THOUGHT THAT I HAD ACCIDENTALLY TURNED ON THE LANE WATCH CAMERA, BUT ONCE I SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO, THE MECHANIC STATED TO ME THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FROM IT HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM. HOWEVER, I QUESTION WHETHER THEY ACTUALLY REPLACED THE PART. ALL OF OUR ORIGINAL SETTINGS WERE STILL PROGRAMMED INCLUDING VOICE DIALING. FURTHER RESEARCH LED US TO FIND OUT THAT THE SYSTEM H

BOUGHT VEHICLE IN MARCH 2014. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH OUR POWER SLIDING DOORS. AT TIMES THEY WON'T OPEN ALL THE WAY, SOMETIMES WONT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. SOMETIMES THEY WON'T RESPOND AT ALL WHETHER YOU TRY TO OPEN OR CLOSE THEM. SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT UNLOCK AND IT TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES OF TRYING BEFORE THEY FINALLY WILL. I HAVE PICTURES PROVING THESE MALFUNCTIONS. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK HATCH MALFUNCTIONING. IT HOPS/JERKS AND MAKES GRINDING NOISES. SOMETIMES IT HOPS/JERKS SO MUCH THAT IT ACTUALLY SHAKES THE WHOLE VEHICLE. ALSO SOMETIMES THE POWER BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK WHEN TRYING TO OPEN IT. MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, BUT THE SERVICE DIRECTOR INSISTS THAT IT IS NORMAL. INITIALLY THEY DID NOT WANT TO FIX IT,, BUT AFTER BEING PERSISTENT WITH THEM ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND THE DOOR TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. TO DATE IT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM, IT HAS ACTUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERSIDE SLIDING DOOR MAKING A LOUD SCREECHING SOUND WHEN I UNLOCKED IT FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC TOOK THE DOOR APART AND GREASED IT AND SO FAR THIS HAS HELPED. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS NOT RESPONDING TO THE KEY FOB. SOMETIMES IT TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET IT TO RESPOND PROPERLY. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE ALOT OF WIND NOISE AND YOU CAN FEEL THE DRAFTS. THE DRIVER WINDOW ALSO VIBRATES WHILE GOING UP/DOWN. I DON'T KNOW IF MY VEHI

BOUGHT VEHICLE IN MARCH 2014, ONLY A FEW MONTHS LATER I STARTED HAVING VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE BRAKING. IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE AND HAPPENED EACH TIME I WOULD COME TO A STOP. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT ROTORS WERE WARPED. NOW IN A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, I WROTE ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I DON'T KNOW IF THE ROTORS WERE JUST DEFECTIVE OR IF THEY BECAME WARPED DUE TO BEING OVERHEATED WITH FRICTION AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSMISSION NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE OTHER OWNERS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. ONCE THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS, THE VIBRATION STOPPED. *TR

TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS STARTED VERY EARLY ON, I BOUGHT VEHICLE IN MARCH 2014. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS/BUCKS HORRIBLY ESPECIALLY IN LOWER GEARS, WHILE STOPPING/BREAKING, WHILE ACCELERATING, AND ALSO DURING TURNS. IT JOLTS FORWARD AT TIMES UNCONTROLLABLY. ALSO, IT DOESN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY INTO GEARS, WHICH CAUSES RPMS TO GET ABOVE 3000 JUST DURING REGULAR DRIVING. ALSO HAS PROBLEMS WITH DOWNSHIFTING PROPERLY. THE FRONT ROTORS AND BREAKS HAVE ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT ONLY 12,800 MILES. IMO, I BELIEVE THEY WARPED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY, (THIS CAUSED EXTRA STRAIN ON THEM WITH THE LACK OF ASSIST FROM THE TRANSMISSION). THE TRANSMISSION ALSO LAGS DURING ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE ON THE HIGHWAY, EVEN THE SLIGHTEST PRESSING OF THE BREAKS BEFORE CHANGING LANES CAUSES MAJOR LAG WITH TRYING TO REGAIN SPEED, THEN THE VEHICLE YOU ORIGINALLY TRIED TO PASS IS NOW FURTHER AHEAD OF YOU, SO OVERALL IT IS HORRIBLE WITH PASSING SPEED/ACCELERATION. BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG. THEIR FAMOUS LINES ARE "NO CODE NO PROBLEM", "WE CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM", OR THEY SAY "ITS NORMAL". DURING A TEST DRIVE WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AND THE MECHANIC, THE PROBLEM WAS IN FACT DUPLICATED. THE MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, HOWEVER THE SERVICE DIRECTOR STILL INSISTED IT WAS DRIVING NORMAL. THANKFULLY, I AUDIO-RECORDED THE TEST DRIVE SO I DO HAVE PHYSICAL PROOF THAT THE MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGE

AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP LIGHT I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND BEGAN APPLYING THE BRAKE. AS I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS SURGING SO I PRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE. AT THIS POINT THE ENGINE WAS RACING AT FULL SPEED ERRATICALLY. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE NEXT DAY TO THE DEALER. WHILE I WAS THERE ANOTHER CUSTOMER OVERHEARD ME TALKING TO THE DEALER AND HE STATED HIS MOTHER'S 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHERE THE ENGINE STARTED RACING WHILE STOPPING. THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND PERFORMED ALL DTCS CHECKS. I TOLD THE DEALER THAT ON TWO OR THREE PREVIOUS OCCASIONS I FELT THE CAR SURGE WHILE BRAKING BUT IN THESE INSTANCES THE ENGINE DID NOT STAY RACING. THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY UPSETTING AS THE CAR COULD HAVE TAKEN OFF ON ITS OWN IF I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK. THOUGHT I HIT A BUMP BUT WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT THE CAR STARTING BUCKING BETWEEN 0-30 MILES PER HOUR. IT CONTINUED TO DO SO AT EVERY START. DROVE IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH VEHICLE. HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE. THIS IS DANGEROUS! IF I WAS TRYING TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION AND IT STARTED BUCKING, I MIGHT NOT MAKE IT OUT OF INTERSECTION ON TIME. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS HONDA IS SAYING NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THEIR CARS. *TR

BOUGHT VAN AND ONLY HAD IT A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE KEYLESS START, WOULD NOT START. ATTEMPTED FOR A WHOLE MINUTE, THEN FINALLY THE KEYLESS START WORKED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT, BASICALLY THEY TOLD ME PERHAPS IT WAS USER ERROR, BUT I AM NOT AN IDIOT, I MADE SURE THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED, THE GEAR WAS IN PARK CORRECTLY, AND THE KEY WAS OUT AND CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THE CAR TO RECOGNIZE THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR, HOWEVER, THE CAR DOORS UNLOCKED FINE WITH THE KEY. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A "NO KEY" LIGHT ON, HOWEVER THE KEY WAS IN THE CAR, AND THEN A FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT THE DASH BOARD AND RADIO SCREENS WERE BLACK FOR APPROX. 2 HRS, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP AGAIN ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD FIND WRONG WITH MY VAN... UNFORTUNATELY I BOUGHT THE VAN USED WITH ONLY 3000MILES, AND I THINK NOW I KNOW WHY THE ORIGINAL OWNER TRADED IT IN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE.... IT IS A LEMON! *TR

I WENT TO DINNER WITH MY HUSBAND ON A FRIDAY NIGHT, AND WHEN WE RETURNED TO OUR VAN, THE DOORS UNLOCKED WE GOT INTO THE VAN AND THE KEYLESS START WOULD NOT WORK. WE TRIED FOR 3-5 MINUTES, NO LUCK, THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO, WE AGAIN DID EVERYTHING TO ENSURE IT WAS NOT USER ERROR (IN WHICH THE DEALERSHIP BLAMED WHEN THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VAN THE PREVIOUS TIME). BRAKE WAS PRESSED, KEY WAS OUT, GEAR IN PARK.... I HAD TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE VAN A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE KEYLESS START FINALLY ALLOWED US TO START THE VAN... I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR SHOP AGAIN, AND WAS INSISTENT THEY FIX THE KEYLESS START, BUT THEY WERE SOOO RUDE AND INAPPROPRIATE, THERE WAS NO "ERROR CODE" AND THEREFORE "HONDA WOULD NOT ALLOW THEM JUST TO REPLACE PARTS", AND THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS JUST AS RUDE!!!! I AM NO LONGER A FAN OF HONDA... THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST HONDA! *TR

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS THE CAR JERKS AND FEELS LIKE YOU DROVE OVER SOMETHING LARGE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. IN 2ND GEAR THERE IS SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AND INABILITY TO SUFFICIENTLY ACCELERATE. STOPPED, PUT CAR INTO PARK, TRIED AGAIN. CAR PROCEEDED TO JERK HORRIBLY EVERY TIME WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. TOOK TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AT TIMES IT ALMOST FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS OUT OF MY CONTROL BECAUSE OF THE JERKING. *TR

CAR SUSTAINED $8700.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO NOSE OF CAR. AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. WIFE SUSTAINED FRACTURED RIB. *TR

AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE FROM A LOW SPEED, FOR EXAMPLE ENTERING AN INTERSECTION OR A HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND BANGS INTO GEAR, CAUSING THE VAN TO HESITATE BEFORE IT MOVES, IT IS A VIOLENT FEELING, ALMOST LIKE BEING REAR ENDED FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAD THE TECHNICIAN EXPERIENCE WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT VERIFYING SOMETHING IS WRONG. THEN WHEN I GO TO PICK IT UP AFTER ITS BEEN FIXED, I AM TOLD BY THE MANAGER THAT IT IS NORMAL BECAUSE NO CODES CAME UP. *TR

WHILE SHIFTING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR, THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCES A JERK/CLUNK THAT RESONATES THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHILE ACCELERATING SLOWLY FROM A STOP, OR WHILE ACCELERATING SLOWLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN A SLOW COAST. THE WORST JERKS OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SLOWLY ACCELERATED WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE. IN ALL CASES, THE PROBLEM OCCURS DURING GENTLE ACCELERATION (GAS CONSERVATION) VERSUS QUICK ACCELERATION. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS YET TO BE REPLICATED BY MY NEIGHBORHOOD HONDA AUTO REPAIR/DEALERSHIP. NO FAULT CODES HAVE BEEN FOUND ON THE COMPUTER. I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR SYMPTOMS IN REAR WHEEL DRIVE CARS THAT HAVE RESULTED IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THOSE TRANSMISSIONS. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE HONDA REPAIR REPRESENTATIVES THAT THIS ISSUE IS NORMAL FOR THE CAR. IT IS MY OPINION THAT NO NEW CAR SHOULD EXPERIENCE A JERKING MOTION WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, IT SHOOK AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

AFTER RETURNING FROM AN ERRAND, MY FAMILY AND I WERE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. MY FOUR-YEAR-OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW PASSENGER SIDE AND BUCKLED USING THE CAR'S SEATBELT. HE WAS SITTING IN HIS TODDLER CARSEAT, PER GUIDELINES. IN TRYING TO UNBUCKLE HIMSELF, HE BECAME INEXTRICABLY ENTANGLED IN THE SEATBELT. THE MORE HE OR I TRIED TO FREE HIM; THE TIGHTER THE SEATBELT BECAME AROUND HIS TORSO, EVEN MAKING INDENTATIONS AND ABRASIVE RED MARKS ON HIS SKIN. SINCE I COULD FIND NO WAY TO RELEASE THE TENSION IN THE SEATBELT AND SINCE IT ONLY BECAME TIGHTER BECAUSE OF MY EFFORTS TO FREE HIM, I DECIDED TO SEVER THE SEATBELT, EFFECTIVELY RESOLVING THE TENSION AND ALLOWING HIM TO GET OUT OF THE SEAT. THE INCIDENT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES FROM THE REALIZATION THAT HE WAS ENTANGLED TO THE DECISION TO CUT HIM OUT OF THE SEATBELT. I COULD NOT LIFT HIM OUT OF THE SEATBELT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO TIGHT, AND HE COULDN'T WIGGLE HIS WAY DOWN THE SEAT TO FREE HIMSELF WITHOUT THE BELT WRAPPING AROUND HIS NECK. GIVEN THE SITUATION, SEVERING THE SEATBELT WAS THE BEST AND SAFEST CHOICE TO FREE HIM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY TO RELEASE THE TENSION OF THE SEAT BELTS IN THE THIRD ROW OF HONDA ODYSSEY MODELS, PARTICULARLY BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMILY VEHICLES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN. I HAVE REGISTERED THIS CONCERN WITH HONDA, AND IT HAS BEEN A CASE NUMBER. *TR

WE BOUGHT ODYSSEY COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK IN AUSTIN . CURRENTLY WE ARE EXPERIENCING 3 MAJOR ISSUES. 1. EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE EVEN WITH LOWER SPEED 30 OR HIGHER SPEED 60.. IMPACT: HEADACHE INSIDE THE CAR. UNABLE TO ENJOY WITH FAMILY INSIDE THE CAR. 2.BRAKES ARE WEAK I FEELS LIKE WE NEED TO STAND ON THE BRAKES TO APPLY THEM 3. FROM A STOP SIGN IF WE HIT THE GAS FEELS LIKE A JERKY.. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE BAR HARBOR, ME AREA, OUR ODYSSEY WAS BUCKING VIOLENTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS/GEARS. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME IT WAS WHEN WE WERE SPEEDING UP FROM A STOP AT A LIGHT/SIGNAL. IT HAPPENED IN LOWER GEARS (1ST AND 2ND) ALL ON THE SAME DATE. I CALLED A DEALER IN THE LOCAL AREA AND WAS GOING TO TAKE IT IN THE NEXT DAY BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT UP THE ISSUE WITH OUR DEALER IN VIRGINIA AND THEY STATED THAT THEY HADN'T HEARD OF ANY SUCH ISSUES. WELL, AFTER FINDING THIS FORUM, I AM GLAD TO KNOW I DIDN'T IMAGINE ALL OF THIS! *TR

WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE RETURNING FROM A SHORT SHOPPING TRIP, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE A "CLUNK" NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. IMMEDIATELY UPON HER RETURN HOME, I DROVE THE VAN AROUND THE BLOCK, STOPPING AT EACH INTERSECTION. THE "CLUNK" REPEATED EVERY TIME THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED FROM 1ST TO 2ND. I CALLED THE DEALER AND DESCRIBED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHAT WAS HAPPENING, AND HE SAID THAT WE NEEDED TO BRING IT IN, ALTHOUGH THAT WAS OBVIOUS TO US. THE QUESTION WAS WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS SINCE IT DIDN'T MAKE ANY NOISE IN THE HIGHER GEARS. THE NEXT MORNING, I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER, AND OF COURSE, NOTHING HAPPENED. THEY HAD TWO TECHNICIANS DRIVE IT, AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE CONDITION. THEY ALSO HOOKED IT UP TO THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE, AND THEY SAID THAT IT SHOWED NOTHING. WELL, ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS NOT "NOTHING", BUT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FURTHER AND TO JUST BRING IT IN IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I EXPLAINED THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO GO ON A 3,000 MILE TRIP, AND IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO BRING IT IN WHILE ON THE ROAD. EVEN THOUGH THE VAN IS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD, AND HAS ONLY 6,700 MILES ON IT, I THINK MY WIFE IS READY TO TRADE IT IN. *TR

AS I ACCELERATED FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND UP A HILL, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKED/BUCKED FORWARD AND BACK AT THE POINT WHERE THE CAR APPEARS TO SHIFT GEARS FOR THE FIRST TIME. AS I CONTINUED DRIVING, IT DID THIS EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP. IT WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, CAUSING ME TO BRACE IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE FORCE OF THE JERKING. I WAS CONCERNED IN TRAFFIC THAT MY CAR WAS GOING TO LUNGE INTO A CAR IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY AND MADE SURE THAT I PROVIDED FOR EXTRA DISTANCE BETWEEN CARS. AFTER I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I TURNED CAR OFF AND MADE APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. HOWEVER, ONCE I GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO RETURN HOME, THE CAR NO LONGER WAS JERKING AROUND. THE HONDA DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR THE NEXT DAY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

ALL BODY PART OF THIS NEW VAN ARE LOOSE.. BOTH SIDE FRONT WINDOWS WHILE OPEN AND CLOSE OR OPEN THE DOOR SEEMS LIKE ITS BROKE AND WINDOWS SHAKES REAR SUSPENSION VERY NOISE ON BRAD NEW VAN SEEMS LIKE DRIVING 10 YEAR OLD BEAT UP CAR PASSENGER SIDE INSIDE BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD ROW BODY PARTS ARE LOSE I HAVE CONTACT THE HONDA THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE CARE ..PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO. ITS A NEW VAN UNDER 5000 MILES AND HAVING MAJOR ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HAD DIFFICULTY DETERMINING IF THE VEHICLES IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR WERE BEHIND OR BESIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE MIRROR BEING DESIGNED IN A CONCAVE MANNER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ISSUE COULD BE REMEDIED BY REPLACING THE MIRROR WITH A REGULAR ONE. THE MIRROR WAS NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING TO SPECIFICATIONS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHO STATED THE HEATER LINE IS NOT ISOLATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3600.

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 10 AND 30 MPH, THE CAR HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. WHEN PUSHING ACCELERATION HARDER, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK. WHEN THE CAR WENT ON THE SLOPE, IT MADE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. STOPPED THE CAR FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND RESTARTED AGAIN, THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND NO REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN MAKING A LOUD CLUCKING NOISE. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY JERKS FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

2014 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING ELITE BEGAN VIOLENT JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING ON 84 DEGREE DAY AFTER AN HOUR OF STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING. OCCURRED NEARLY 20 TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP LIGHT TO MODERATE SPEEDS OF 25/35MPH. FELT AS IF HIT FROM BEHIND EACH TRANSITIONING/ACCELERATING 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. VERY SCARY. HAD MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN VAN WHO WERE EQUALLY ALARMED OVER VIOLENT JERKING. NOT A SINGLE SERVICE LIGHT WENT ON DURING THESE EPISODES. HAD VAN TOWED TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE FAILED TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. FOUND OTHER 2014 ODYSSEY OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ODYSSEY/2014/TRANSMISSION/VEHICLE_JERKING_LOUD_CLUNKING_NOISE.SHTML. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30MPH AND PERFORMED A PANIC STOP AS A DELIVERY TRUCK IN FRONT STOPPED AND TURNED SUDDENLY. CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD AFTER THE DELIVERY TRUCK TURNED IN DRIVEWAY. GOING DOWN THE NEXT HILL OF THE 30MPH ROAD, THE BRAKES FAILED AS THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO THE POSTED SPEED. DRIVER STOOD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED ONLY SLIGHTLY AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT SLOW. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COAST THE VEHICLE TO A STOP ON A LONG RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY. JUST BEFORE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. GRINDING SOUND BECOME HIGHER PITCHED JUST BEFORE NOISE AND VEHICLE STOPPED. AFTER STOPPING, DRIVER TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE DRIVER RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL AND BRAKING FUNCTION RETURNED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. CURRENT INFORMATION FROM DEALER IS THAT NO CAUSE HAS BEEN FOUND. ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT BRAKES WERE OVERHEATED DUE TO THE PANIC STOP. DEALER STILL HAS VEHICLE AND SAYS THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING. *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT 5 TO 20 MPH DURING ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION MAKES CLUNK NOISE AND JERKS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM TRANSMISSION FOR FEW SECONDS AND SUDDENLY SHIFT GEARS WITH JERK AND PUSHES THE VEHICLE (FEELS SOMEONE IS HITTING FROM BACK). THIS ISSUE IS RANDOM DURING TRAFFIC LIGHTS, HEAVY TRAFFIC AND FREEWAY MERGE. HAVING KIDS ON THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING IS BIGGER SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS BEHAVIOR WILL LIKELY HIT OTHER VEHICLES AS ACCELERATION IS EXCEPTIONALLY SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT RESPOND. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ABOVE 45 MPH AND DRIVES WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. VEHICLE BEEN TO DEALER SERVICE CENTER TWICE BUT THEY SAID WE ARE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE IT AND IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RAISED TO HONDA BY MANY OWNERS BUT SO FAR NO UPDATE FROM THEM. HERE ARE SOME REF.

ON SATURDAY JULY 19TH MY SON ALMOST CHOKED TO DEATH ON THE MIDDLE ROW SEATBELT. I HAVE THREE YOUNG KIDS OF 7,6 AND 4. THE 7 AND 6 WERE PLAYING AND SUDDENLY THE SEATBELT WRAPPED AROUND MY SONS NECK. MY WIFE QUICKLY ATTEMPTED TO UNATTACHED AND UNTANGLE AND SHE COULD NOT. THE SEATBELT JUST GOT TIGHTER AND TIGHTER AND THERE WAS NO EMERGENCY RELEASE BUTTON EITHER FROM THE TOP OR BOTTOM OF THE SEATBELT. I QUICKLY HELD HIM UP IN THE AIR SIDEWAYS TO GIVE HIM A LITTLE AIR WHILE MY WIFE RUN TO A STRANGER'S HOUSE TO BORROW SCISSORS. THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO RELEASE HIM FREE WAS TO CUT THE SEATBELT. WE ARE FORTUNATE THAT NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED TO MY SON, ONLY BRUISES AROUND HIS NECK. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA CORPORATION SHOULD BE AWARE OFF AND TAKEN CAREFUL INVESTIGATION. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY REALLY DON'T CARE MUCH. THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEATBELT AND IT'S WORKING THE WAY IT IS. I ASKED FOR A SUPERVISOR AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY CASE WOULD BE CLOSED. THEY ARE RUDE AND NO SYMPATHY TO WHAT JUST HAPPENED. THE SECOND TIME I SPOKE TO A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE I TOLD THEM AGAIN THAT THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE, AS I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. THEY REFUSED AND ONLY STATE THAT THEY WILL PUT IT IN THE NOTES. *TR

2014 ODYSSEY HAS BEEN CHANGED TO INCLUDE A PROGRESSIVE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR FROM THE NORMAL FLAT GLASS MIRROR. THE GLASS IN THE MIRROR IS DESIGNED IN SUCH A WAY THAT OBJECTS APPEAR BLURRED AND DISTORTED CAUSING DIFFICULTY FOCUSING WHILE LOOKING THRU MIRROR. TOOK CAR TO DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED ISSUE AND STATED MANY CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN ABOUT SAME THING. CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AT DEALERS RECOMMENDATION. AMERICAN HONDA CONTACTED DEALER AND CONFINED. AT THIS TIME AMERICAN HONDA IS STATING IT IS A "DESIGN FEATURE" OF THE VEHICLE. NOT SURE HOW DISTORTION AND BLURRED VISION WITH A SAFETY DEVICE IS A "FEATURE". ASKED AMERICAN HONDA TO DOCUMENT THEIR POSITION, THEY REFUSED TO SEND ME ANY DOCUMENTATION STATING THE INFORMATION COLLECTED IS PROPRIETARY. DID SEARCH OF PROGRESSIVE MIRROR AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS. *TR

IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, BEGAN NEW LEASE FOR 3RD HONDA ODYSSEY AFTER HAVING TWO PREVIOUS AND LOVING THEM. ON MAY 23RD, MY VAN HAD NO SOUND OF LEFT (DRIVER'S) SIDE UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF AND HAS NOT RECURRED. TWO DAYS LATER, HOWEVER, TURN SIGNALS BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING WITH CONTINUOUS BLINKING AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. VAN WAS LOOKED AT DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL, AS PROBLEMS DID NOT REOCCUR FOR THEM. ON VACATION, I WAS STRANDED WITH A BROKEN FUEL DOOR AND DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR THAT WAS TEMP FIXED BY DEALERSHIP THERE. ON WAY HOME FROM VACATION, CRUISE CONTROL INTERMITTENTLY DID NOT RESPOND CORRECTLY WHEN IN USE IN BOTH THE SET AND RESUME FUNCTIONS. UPON RETURNING HOME, DEALERSHIP FIXED FUEL AND PASSENGER DOORS, HAD VAN FOR A WEEK TO ADDRESS ISSUES THAT ARE MORE ELECTRICAL/COMPUTER-RELATED IN NATURE, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE, NOR ISOLATE PROBLEMS. VAN RETURNED TO ME WITH BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY ISSUES. TURN SIGNALS AND CRUISE CONTROL CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION, AND DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY.

IN THE 6 MONTHS THAT WE HAVE OWNED A NEW 2014 ODYSSEY, THERE IS A LARGE AREA OF STREAKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD EVERY TIME THE WIPERS GO INTO RESTING POSITION. THIS IS A STREAK ABOUT 5 INCHES WIDE, ACROSS THE FIELD OF VISION FOR THE DRIVER. THE WINDSHIELD IS CLEAR WHEN THE WIPERS GO TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE STREAK APPEARS EVERY TIME THE WIPERS GO DOWN. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE WIPERS THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, AND POLISHED THE GLASS WITH STEEL WOOL ON THE LAST VISIT. UPON PICKING UP THE CAR, THE WINDSHIELD STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THE MANAGER STATED THAT HONDA IS "WORKING ON THIS ISSUE", AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR US AT THIS TIME. ORIGINALLY, HOWEVER, HE HAD STATED THAT PERHAPS THE WINDSHIELD WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A DEFECT. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE DECREASED VISIBILITY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. *TR

FROM A STOP OR YIELD, UPON ACCELERATION VAN JERKED. IT DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. TECHNICIANS COULD NOT GET THE VAN TO DUPLICATE THIS ACTION, SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING. *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED ON, THE COMPUTER(S) MALFUNCTIONS -- SCOPE OF FAILURE IS NOT KNOWN; SYMPTOM IS THAT CENTER DISPLAY SCREEN ON DASH (REFERRED TO AS "INTELLIGENT MULTI-INFORMATION DISPLAY", OR "I-MID", IN MANUALS) IS BLACKED OUT, EXCEPT THAT IT SHOWS YELLOW GRIDLINES AS IF REAR CAMERA WERE ON, HOWEVER REAR CAMERA IS DISABLED AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS THAT WOULD BE VISIBLE ON THE CENTER DISPLAY SCREEN (INCLUDING SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS REARVIEW CAMERA, "LANEWATCH"/SIDE-VIEW CAMERA, AS WELL AS ALL VEHICLE SETTINGS, SYSTEM SETTINGS, CAMERA SETTINGS, AUDIO SETTINGS, ETC.) ARE INOPERATIVE. SCREEN REMAINS BLACKED OUT WITH AFFECTED SYSTEMS INOPERATIVE FOR THE DURATION THAT THE CAR REMAINS ON, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAR IS IN PARK, DRIVE, REVERSE, ETC., AND WHETHER CAR IS MOVING OR STOPPED. IF THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN, SO FAR IT HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL -- HOWEVER IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO DO THIS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY -- APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES TO DATE. *TR

MY INSURANCE COMPANY BOUGHT THIS HONDA ODYSSEY EX 2014 VAN FOR ME TO BE MODIFIED FOR HANDICAPPED EQUIPMENT AS A REPLACEMENT. IT CHOSE AND DELIVERED THE VAN TO: BETTER LIFE MOBILITY CENTERS OF RIVERSIDE 7239 INDIANA AVE., RIVERSIDE CA 92504 9516863152, WHO THEN DISABLED MY STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS RESULTING IN DEFECTIVE TURN SIGNALS, HORN, LIGHTS ETC. NO NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO ME OF SUCH DISABLING OF THESE SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND THEY SIMPLY LEFT THE CONTROL FOR THE "TILT & TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN" IN A PLASTIC BAG ON THE CONSOLE. HONDA CARS OF CORONA (888) 568-0582 INFORMED ME THAT NO WARRANTY OR SERVICING OR DIAGNOSING OF THIS CAR WOULD BE MADE BY HONDA BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MODIFIED FOR HANDICAPPED DRIVING WHICH VOIDED ALL WARRANTY OF ANY SHAPE OR FORM. IT APPEARS THAT "BETTER LIFE MOBILITY" HAS NOT COMPLIED WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE DISABLING OF MY STEERING COLUMN, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BUSINESS AND THEIR CONDUCT. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS VAN WAS $34,547.53 BEFORE MODIFICATIONS AND NOW IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR OF THE STEERING COLUMN , TURN SIGNALS AND RELATED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH HAND CONTROLS FOR OVER 24 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS.. *TR

BARELY OVER 1 MONTH AGO I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS IS FIRST NEW VEHICLE I HAVE BOUGHT IN YEARS. BIG MISTAKE. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATION, THE VANS JERKS, SHUDDERS AND MAKE LOUD CLUNKING NOISES. AFTER I START THE VAN AND TRY TO ENGAGE IN REVERSE IT GOES NO WHERE...THE SAME THING STARTED HAPPENING WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. I TOOK IT TOO THE DEALERSHIP THAT WEEKEND AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A COMPUTER UPDATE THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM... IT DIDN'T. TWO DAYS LATER I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD THEM IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WANTED IT FIXED. THAT WAS 2 WEEKS AGO. THAT IS 2 WEEKS THAT THEY HAVE HAD MY "NEW" VAN THAT I AM PAYING DEARLY FOR. THEY HAVE ADMITTED TO FEELING THE PROBLEMS AND CLAIM THEY CALLED THE HONDA TECH LINE WHO STATES I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. NEXT WEEK THEY ARE INSTALLING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRY NEW THINGS UNTIL THEY FIND A SOLUTION. I LOVE THE FACT THAT I AM MAKING A PAYMENT FOR THEM TO PLAY WITH MY VAN AS THE TEST DUMMY. IF I WANTED A VAN WITH ALL THESE REPLACEMENTS I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN OLD ONE AND HAD EVERYTHING REBUILT AND SAVED ALOT OF MONEY AND TIME THAT A WORKING MOTHER OF 3 KIDS DOES NOT HAVE. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!! PLEASE DO YOU HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS YEAR MODEL OF VAN. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM DEALERSHIP SATURDAY EVENING THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. FRONT BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAL EXCESSIVELY LOUD WHEN STOPPING, BUT THE NOISE ALSO CONTINUED WHEN FOOT WAS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATING. WHEN FULLY STOPPED COULD SMELL BURNT BRAKE PAD. TOOK VEHICLE TO NEAREST HONDA DEALER ON MONDAY WHO EXAMINED THE FRONT BREAKS AND FOUND DRIVERS SIDE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER BRACKET INSTALLED INCORRECTLY (MISALIGNED) WHICH ALSO LEAD TO THE CALIPER BEING DAMAGED. SERVICE TECHNICIAN BELIEVED THIS TO BE AN ASSEMBLY DEFECT. DEALER WILL REPLACE PARTS AND CORRECT ISSUE UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. *TR
