2015 Honda Odyssey complaints

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN AN INTERSTATE AT 70MPH, WHEN THE SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THERE WAS NOTHING ABOVE ME, EXCEPT FOR THE SKY, AND NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 75 DEGREES ON A CLEAR SUMMER DAY. SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION WHEN IT OCCURRED. TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER, AND THEY CONTACTED THE REP FOR WARRANTY CLAIMS, AND DENIED MY CLAIM, STATING THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY IMPACT. HAD THE REP CALL ME AND HE WAS ABSOLUTELY UNWILLING TO WORK WITH ME AT ALL. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT IT IS "PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AN IMPACT BREAK ON THE TOP OF A CAR". ADDITIONALLY, A ME PROFESSOR AT UC BERKELEY CALCULATED THAT A ROCK LOFTED INTO THE AIR BY A VEHICLE TIRE WOULD REACH A HEIGHT OF 10-15 FEET AND WOULD HAVE TO COME DOWN AT 70-80 MPH TO BREAK THE SUNROOF. "THERE IS NOT A CHANCE IN THE WORLD THAT AN UNINTENTIONAL ROCK THAT IS LOFTED BY A VEHICLE WOULD EVER BREAK A SUNROOF PANEL. THE MAXIMUM VELOCITY OF A ROCK COMING DOWN WOULD BE 25 MPH, WELL SHORT OF THE 70 MPH". JUST LIKE THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THE GLASS WAS BOWED OUT ON THE SUNROOF, LIKE AN EXPLOSION, AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE SUNROOF SLIDING VISOR THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT TO SEE IF SOMETHING REALLY DID IMPACT THE SUNROOF CAUSING IT TO BREAK. HONDA HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY UNWILLING TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE, AND THEY CLAIM THEY'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH FINDS NUMEROUS ISSUES OF SUNROOFS EXPLODING ON NEWER MODEL VEHICLES.

CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE OF 12,800 MILES AND THERE IS VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING. THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND I HAD THIS ISSUE ON MY LAST ODYSSEY. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE COMPLAINTS OF VIBRATIONS WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. HONDA RECALLED CARS IN THE PAST FOR THIS. IT SEEMS THE DEALERS CANNOT EVEN FIGURE IT OUT BUT SAY TO REPLACE THE ROTORS WHICH MAKES NO SENSE GIVEN HOW LOW MILEAGE THE CAR HAS.

THIS VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 17000 MILES, LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. A FRONT WHEEL STUD WAS BROKEN DUE TO HEAVY RUST. THREADS WERE STRIPED AND WHEEL NUT IS LOST DUE TO THAT. THIS VEHICLE WAS KEPT IN TEXAS MOST OF TIME. REGULAR MAINTAINED. NO SALT CORROSION.

ON FRIDAY, MAY 19, 2017 WE BROUGHT OUR VAN INTO MAITA HONDA FOR AN OIL CHANGE, A RECALL NOTICE, AND FOR THE BLEMISHES ON THE VAN TO BE REMOVED. ON MONDAY, MAY 22, 2017 WE NOTICED THAT THE VAN WAS LEAKING GAS; WE COULD SMELL THE GAS AND SEE THE PUDDLE IT LEFT. ON TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 2017 WE BROUGHT THE VAN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE IS A CRACK IN THE GAS TANK AND THAT IT HAD BEEN BANGED UP PRETTY GOOD, PROBABLY WITH SOMETHING ON THE ROAD. THEY INDICATED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS NOT CAUSED BY THEIR CAR LIFTS. THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,400; THAT WE WOULD NEED TO SUBMIT A CLAIM TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD TAKE PICTURES AND WRITE AN ESTIMATE AND PROVIDE US WITH THEM. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DAMAGE OCCURRED WHILE MAITA HONDA HAD OUR VAN FOR SERVICE ON MAY 19, 2017. THEREFORE, I EXPECT MAITA HONDA TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK WITH A NEW ONE AT THEIR EXPENSE. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THIS DAMAGE WAS THE RESULT OF A ROAD HAZARD; ACCORDING TO THEM, SOMETHING MUST HAVE HIT OUR PLASTIC GAS TANK. THIS DAMAGE OCCURRED WHILE IN THE DEALERSHIPS POSSESSION. AT THIS TIME, I DO NOT HAVE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS TO PROVIDE AS THE VAN IS STILL AT THE SHOP/DEALERSHIP.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V933000 (SEATS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PARTS HAD BEEN ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE SECOND ROW SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DETACHED AND HIT THE BACK OF THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT. THE CHILD OCCUPYING THE SEAT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WITH NO SIGNS OF ANY EXTERNAL IMPACT. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME. CHECKED FOR DEBRIS AND NOTHING FOUND. IN FACT, IT LOOKS AS IF THE FORCE CAME FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE AS THE HOLE EXTRUDED FROM THE CAR ITSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AND DRIVER SEAT AIR BAGS ERRONEOUSLY DEPLOYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY TO 5 MPH. THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING ON I64 NEAR LOUISVILLE, KY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN REAR TIRE ON DRIVER SIDE BLEW OUT. THE TIRES HAD 23,000 MILES ON THEM.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. HEARD WIND SOUND AND LOOKED UP. SUN ROOF WAS SHATTERED COMPLETELY WITH A VERY LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. COULD FIND NO ROCK OR EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING HITTING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 32 MPH AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE MOTOR STOPPED AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS SEIZED. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, RESTARTED, AND RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONCE. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED A REPAIR APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,176.

HONDA IS USING SOY PRODUCT ON WIRING AND IT ATTRACTS SQUIREELS TO EAT MY WIRES. THE RODENTS ATE THE WIRES THREE TIMES SO FAR. WHILE DRIVING WITH CHILDREN IN CAR, MY BREAKS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. I ALSO HAD NO WINDSHIELD WIPERS OR LIGHTS. IT WAS RAINING. IT WAS SO SCARY. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE SQUIRRELS UNDERNEATH THE HOOD

WHEN I TRIED STARTING THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES IT WANTS TO TURN OFF AND ON BY ITSELF. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLICK ON AND OFF WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GLITCHES AND THE CAR ENGINE WANTS TO "TURN OVER" THEN SHUT OFF. I HAVE TO PUSH THE START/STOP BUTTON ON THE DASH TO STOP IT.

WHEN I PULLED UP TO A PARKING SPOT AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDDLE AND PLACED IT ON THE BREAK THE ENGINE STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND ENGINE RPM'S CLIMBED ABOUT 1000 RPM'S. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION WAS STILL IN DRIVE (D). I HAD TO FORCE THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK (P) AND PUSH THE START/STOP BUTTON TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END A PARKED CAR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON AN 80 DEGREE SUNNY DAY AN EXPLOSION SOUND ABOVE MY HEAD. OPENED MOON ROOF VISOR AND GLASS WAS SHATTERED. STOPPED AND LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE. LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING PUSHED IT OUT VS BEING HIT BY ANYTHING. THERE WAS AN 8" HOLE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AND ALL THE SHARDS OF GLASS AROUND IT POINTED UP. NOTHING HIT US AS BOTH MY WIFE AND I WHERE PAYING ATTENTION AND NO BANG LIKE A ROCK OR DEBRIS MAKES WHEN HITTING THE WINDSHIELD.

SUNROOF GLASS EXPLODE/SHATTERED IN THE HIGHWAY. SECOND TIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND WHEELS BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE VIBRATION BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700. UPDATED 08/02/16*LJ *CN

HAD MY VEHICLE DROVE ON FREEWAY FOR AN HOUR AND WHEN PULLING ON TO A SHOPPING CENTER, THERE WAS A STOP AND GO. AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION STARTING JERKING AND SHAKING. THERE WAS SOUND FROM ENGINE/TRANMISSION LIKE SOME METAL CRUSHING OR BREAKING. STOPPED THE VEHICLE FOR A WHILE AND THE ISSUE DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. DEALER NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THIS ISSUE AND SO NO FIX.

HEADREST NOT ADJUSTABLE FORWARD TO BACK. WHEN INSTALLED PROPERLY, FORCES THE NECK FORWARD SO A CLEAR SAFE DRIVING POSITION CAN'T BE ACHIEVED. ONLY WAY TO DRIVE SAFELY IS TO REMOVE THE HEADREST WHICH LEAVES NO NECK SUPPORT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. NO ABILITY TO DECREASE THE FORWARD ANGLE OF THE HEADREST, NO REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE. TO STRAIGHTEN NECK, SEAT MUST BE RECLINED TO THE POINT WHERE THE SEAT DOESN'T MAKE CONTACT WITH YOUR BACK CAUSING ADDITIONAL SAFETY ISSUES.

DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE BY PUSHING THE "OPEN/CLOSE" BUTTONS. TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES. UPON ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE DOOR MANUALLY, THE ENTIRE DOOR FELL OFF THE VAN. HONDA'S RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE IS THAT THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY DOOR AND RELATED REPAIR COSTS.

AS I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY APREACHING A STOP SIGN, I PLACED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WAS TOTALLY OFF THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THIS WAS SCARY, LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE I FROM THE OF ME AND I HADN'T YET HIT THE STOP SIGN MARK, I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE MANY TIMES, SWIFTLY,IT FINALLY CAME BACK UP BEFORE REACHING THE STOP SIGN. TWO DAYS BEFORE THIS I DROVE OFF FROM HOME AND THE VAN LOST POWER AND WAS BUCKING AS IF THE FUEL PUMP WAS BLOCKED. THESE VANS NEED TO BE CHECKED THOROUGHLY, HONDA NEEDS TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THEIR CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS. I HAVE CHILDREN AND I PRAY THIS VAN DOESN'T LEAD ME IN TO AN ACCIDENT OR FATALITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND REVERSING, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE INCREASED TO THE MAXIMUM RPMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000. .....UPDATED 04/15/16 *BF *CN

WHILE PARKED, WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE HEADLIGHTS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR, THEY COME BACK ON. HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR. ONLY 9000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS. CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

WAS DRIVING ~70MPH ON FREEWAY NEAR ORLANDO, FL. HEARD A STRANGE LOUD NOISE AND GLASS BREAKING, THEN LOT OF ROAD NOISE. UPON STOPPING TO CHECK WHAT HAPPENED, REALIZED SUNROOF GLASS HAD SHATTERED AND HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT - IT APPEARED TO BE BOWED UP/OUTWARD. LUCKILY THE INNER COVER WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS ENTERED THE VEHICLE. DID NOT HEAR ANY IMPACT NOISE WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SCRATCHES, DENTS OR OTHER EVIDENCE OF ANY IMPACT AROUND SUNROOF WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS A FAULT OF SOME KIND [IN GLASS OR OTHERWISE]. THE SUNROOF SITS ALMOST FLAT AND THE PROBABILITY OF IT BEING STRUCK BY ANYTHING MUST BE EXTREMELY SMALL. IF BY SOME MIRACLE IT IS ACTUALLY STRUCK BY SOMETHING, WOULD HAVE TO BE ONLY A GLANCING IMPACT AND I BELIEVE SHOULD NOT SHATTER AND DISINTEGRATE LIKE IT DID. SEEING AS THERE ARE ALREADY OTHER 3 REPORTS OF SIMILAR OCCURRENCES ALREADY REGISTERED WITH NHTSA SPECIFICALLY FOR 2015 MODEL, PLUS A COUPLE OF OTHER REPORTS MENTIONED IN FORUMS ONLINE, I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT AS A CONSEQUENCE. MY CONCERN IS HONDA DEALER IMMEDIATELY DECIDED IT WAS EXTERNAL ISSUE AND SHOULD BE INSURANCE CLAIM. IF THIS IS STANDARD PRACTICE, IT COULD MEAN OTHER OCCURRENCES OF THIS HAPPENING MIGHT NOT BE GETTING REPORTED TO AMERICAN HONDA AND SO THEY ARE UNAWARE OF A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM.

DURING RAIN AT NIGHT, VERY LITTLE OF THE LOW BEAMS REACH THE ROAD WAY. THE PATTERN OF LIGHT FROM THE PROJECTOR TYPE LOW BEAM IS SUCH THAT THERE IS A BRIGHT LINE ABOUT 2 - 3 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND AT 25 FEET. ABOVE THAT IT SHARPLY FADES TO ALMOST NOTHING. BELOW THAT LINE, IT GRADUALLY FADES TO DARKNESS AT GROUND LEVEL. AT THE FACTORY SETTING, THERE COULD BE MORE LIGHT HIGHER UP. THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT VERY LITTLE LIGHT GETS TO THE ROAD. DURING RAIN, ROADWAY CENTER AND SIDE LINES ARE NOT VISIBLE, HOWEVER, REFLECTIVE MATERIAL ABOUT 1 FOOT OFF THE GROUND IS INCREDIBLY BRIGHT. OI HAVE TAKEN THE VAN TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NO SOLUTION. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS INSUFFICIENT LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ROADWAY LANE LINES.

I WAS DRIVING INTO THE GARAGE AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE AND CAR CRASHED INTO A CABINET IN THE FRONT OF GARAGE CAUSING DAMAGE TO CAR, CABINET AND GARAGE WALL. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK AND THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THEY STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THEY SAID I COULD CALL HONDA CORPORATE BUT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING EITHER. I HAD TO PAY TO GET CAR REPAIRED, BUY NEW CABINET AND PAY TO HAVE GARAGE WALL REPAIRED. I THEN HAD TO TRADE CARS BECAUSE MY WIFE REFUSED TO DRIVE THIS ONE. I HAD THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I BOUGHT IT NEW. AFTER 4 MONTHS I WAS FORCED TO BUY ANOTHER NEW CAR. I REALIZE THIS MAY NOT BE A BIG DEAL TO SOME BUT WHAT IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT STOP SIGN AND I WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH AND SOMEONE WAS HURT OR EVEN KILLED. THIS CAR WILL BE SOLD TO SOMEONE ELSE AND WE CAN ONLY HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE WAS ANOTHER COMPLAINT IN THIS FORUM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. FOR HONDA CORPORATE TO JUST PUSH THIS ASIDE AND NOT MAKE IT RIGHT I THINK IS JUST TERRIBLE.

I WAS DRIVING 65 M/H WHEN I HEAR A "SMALL EXPLOSION", WASN'T SURE WHERE THE NOISE CAME FROM. AFTER THAT I SEE SOME SOLID MATERIAL FLYING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK. I PARKED THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND WHEN I LOOK ON TOP OF THE ROOF I SAW THE MOONROOF BROKE AND NOTICED THE HOLE WAS COMING FROM BOTTOM UP. THERE WERE NOT OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITY OF ROAD DEBRIS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD MAKE ME THINK THAT THIS WAS AN INCIDENT OTHER THAN FACTORY ISSUE (PRESSURIZATION) I'M ALMOST 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND THE ATTENTION I GOT FROM HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN MORGAN HILL IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ISSUE IF I DIDN'T HAVE THE COVER IN PLACE TO PROTECT ME TO GET GLASS ON ME!. I FOUND SIMILAR CASES REPORTED TO THE NHTSA FOR THE SAME CAR AND MODEL. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKING SERIOUSLY BY AMERICAN HONDA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWN A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE B-PILLAR NEEDED TO BE WELDED AND THE DOOR PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 390.

2015 EXL ODYSSEY 5000 MILES DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 20 MINS INTO MY DRIVE WITH 70 DEGREE GOOD WEATHER. TRANNY STARTES TO CLUNK INTO GEAR. AT FIRST I NOTICED A LITE CLUNK GIVING GAS TO PASS SOMEONE. THEN I NOTICED THE CLUNK GOT WORSE THE HARDER I GASES IT. WHAT I REALIZED IS. THAT WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS INTO GEAR OR DOWNSHIFTS THE TRANNY WOULD SLIP AND CLUNK. THEN WHEN I CAME TO A FULL STOP AND ACCELARATED THE 1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFT WAS TERRIBLE (BAD CLUNK) IT CONTINUED EVERYTIME THE CAR SHIFTED INTO 2ND. IT WAS SO BAD I DECIEDED TO PUT CAR INTO 1ST GEAR AND HOLD IT AND MANUALLY SHIFT TO 2ND. I WAS ABLE TO SOFTEN THE CLUNK BY TAKING MY FOOT OFF GAS COUNTING TO 3 AND THEN SHIFTING WHILE DECELERATING. HOWEVER I DID NOTICE THAT THE MORE LOAD ON TRANNY DURING SHIFTS TRANSLATED INTO A HARDER CLUNK. ANYWAY I LIMPED CAR HOME WENT ON ON INTERNET AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, WHAT I FOUND WAS PEOPLE SAYING TO TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART, THUS RESETTING THE COMPUTER. AND YES I DID THAT AND PROBLEM GONE. SO BASICALLY I THINK THAT THE TRANNY MAY HAVE AN ADAPITVE LEARNING MODULE FOR THE TRANNY THAT TELLS VALVES IN TRANNY WHEN TO SHIFT. AND I THINK THAT WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND WENT TO PASS SOMEONE I MUST HAVE GLITCHED THE COMPUTER WITH TO MUCH LOAD AT JUST THE WRONG TIME DURING A SHIFT. WHICH MADE THE COMPUTER ENGAGE THE SHIFT LATER THEN THE VALVEBODIES TO CREATE THAT CLUNK. I.E. WHEN YOUR CAR IS ABOUT TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR AND YOU LEAVE YOUR FOOT OFF GAS AND THAN GAS IT AT EXAC

I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO ISSUES. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY L I CAME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. UPON PROCEEDING AFTER THE LIGHT WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE BETWEEN 15 & 20 MPH THE CAR STARTED TO JERK OR BUCK FORWARD WHEN GOING FROM 15 TO PAST 20 MPH. IT DID THIS AGAIN AT 25 TO 30 MPH. ONCE PAST THE 30 MPH SPEED I WAS OK AGAIN. THIS HAPPEN EACH AND EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP AND THEN PROCEED AGAIN.THE CAR WOULD JERK AND BUCK FORWARD WHILE GOING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON. IT FELT EACH TIME AS IF I GOT HIT FROM BEHIND THAT IS HOW THE JERKING FORWARD FELT. I STOPPED THE CAR, DID NOT TURN IT OFF & PUT INTO PARK.WHEN I PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE BEFORE REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE CAR IN THE DRIVE MODE WAS STARTING TO REV FORWARD EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I DID NOT TURN THE CAR OFF NOT KNOWING IF IT WOULD RESTART. I THEN PROCEEDED HOME AND THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED EACH AND EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP AND TRY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THIS IS DEFINITELY A POWER TRAIN ISSUE OF SOME SORT. I CONTACTED CLINTON HONDA SERVICE DEPT.OF CLINTON NJ ON 9/25 @ 6:45 PM TO REPORT MY PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER MARK AND HE STATED HE WAS UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUE THAT THERE WAS ABOUT THIS WITH THE 2015 ODYSSEY. I WILL BE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/26/15 TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT. .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 71 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AND FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULT WAS INCONCLUSIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MODIFIED FOR WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.

THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOOR ACCIDENTALLY CLOSED AND SQUEEZED ON A 7-YEAR-OLD CHILD'S FINGERS, AND COULD NOT BE OPENNED BY ANY METHOD. WE (AS PARENTS) TRIED ALL DOOR OPEN/CLOSE SWITCHES, DOOR REMOTE CONTROLS, AS WELL AS THE DOOR'S MANUAL HANDLE IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR TO RELEASE THE CHILD'S HAND, BUT ALL EFFORT FAILED TO OPEN THE DOOR TO RELEASE THE CHILD'S FINGERS. THERE IS NO SAFETY MANUAL OVERRIDE (IN THE DOOR DESIGN) AT ALL THAT CAN DISENGAGE/DISCONNECT THE AUTOMATIC OPEN/CLOSE MECHANISM WHEN THE AUTOMATIC MECHANISM FAILS. THE CHILD FELT GREAT PAIN AND CRIED IN THE MEANWHILE. EVENTUALLY, AFTER 15 MINUTES, THE CHILD'S FINGERS SLIPPED OUT THE SQUEEZE. THE DOOR THEN FULLY CLOSED AND COULD THEN BE OPENED AGAIN BY AUTOMATICAL SWITCHES. THIS LACK OF MANUAL OVERRIDE OF THE DOOR'S AUTOMATIC OPEN/CLOSE CREATES HUGE DANGER FOR ANY CHILD. CAN THIS PRODUCT BE RECALLED TO FIX THE SAFETY HAZZARD BEFORE IT CAUSE FURTHER INJURY TO OTHER CHILDREN?

THE HEADREST FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS MY PROBLEM. I HAVE TO LEAN MY HEAD FORWARD TO KEEP THE HEADREST FROM PUSHING MY HEAD FORWARD. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO HAVE NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. I TRIED LEANING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK BUT THEN I HAD NO SUPPORT FOR MY BACK AND THAT CAUSED ME TO HAVE NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. I NEED A HEADREST THAT I CAN ADJUST TO GO BACK FURTHER. ALSO, THE HEADRESTS ON THE 3RD ROW GO UP SO HIGH THAT VISIBILITY OUT OF THE BACK WINDOW IS OBSCURED AND I FOUND THAT I COULD ONLY USE MY SIDE VIEW MIRRORS.

ON AUGUST 9, 2015, WE WERE DRIVING HOME FROM VACATION FROM CEDAR POINT, OHIO TO PITTSBURGH, PA. THIS IS ABOUT A 200 MILE TRIP. THE VEHICLE RAN SMOOTHLY THE ENTIRE TRIP UNTIL I LEFT THE TURNPIKE OF DRIVING 60-70 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN BEGAN DRIVING ON A ROAD WITH A 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT. ALL OF A SUDDEN I WAS AT A RED LIGHT WAITING IN TRAFFIC. AS SOON AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. WE BEGAN ACCELERATING TO 25 MILES PER HOUR BUT KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. MY CAR WOULD NOT LEAVE FIRST GEAR. THE GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD WENT FROM 1-7 GEAR BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE TRAVELING 15-20 MILES PER HOUR IN A 40MPH ZONE. I THEN PROCEEDED TO CHANGE LANES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENTIRE CAR JUMPED AS IF IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN AND BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR BEGAN DRIVING FASTER BUT NOT ANY FASTER THAN 40 MPH. AGAIN, ALL WE COULD HEAR WAS ROOOOOOOM AND THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR LOOKED LIKE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THE CAR WOULD NOT LEAVE 2ND GEAR. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN AT EACH RED LIGHT. SINCE THIS WAS A SUNDAY, THE SERVICE CENTER WAS CLOSED. IT WASN'T UNTIL WEDNESDAY THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. SINCE NO SENSORS INDICATED A PROBLEM, THEY STATED THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I AM NOT FABRICATING THIS INCIDENT ONE BIT AND AM AFRAID OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN BUT HAVING A DIFFERENT OUTCOME. IF I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP DISMISSED ME BECA

WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE CAR MADE A CLUNKING NOISE AND THE CAR JERKED SEVERELY AS WE ACCELERATED INTO GEAR. IT HAPPENED AT LEAST 2 MORE TIMES AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A COUPLE OF STOP SIGNS. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN IT HAPPENED AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER'S ATTENTION IS TAKEN AWAY WHEN IT HAPPENS. THE SCARIEST PART IS NOT KNOWING WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. WHEN THERE IS A NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY ACROSS TRAFFIC, WE ARE WORRIED THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN OR THAT THE CAR WON'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHILE THE ISSUE IS OUTSTANDING. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE ISSUE THAT HAVING READ OTHER FORUMS IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS WITH 2014 AND 2015 ODYSSEY'S AND THE DEALERSHIPS ARE BOT UNDERSTANDING THE CAUSE OR FIX FOR THE ISSUE DUE TO IT HAPPENING SPORADICALLY. THIS CALLS FOR ACTION BEFORE IT LEADS TO SOMEONE BEING HARMED. IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE AND PRESSURE NEEDS PUT ON HONDA TO FIX THE ISSUE!

THIS WAS OUR FIRST EXPERIENCE DRIVING OUR NEW 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY AFTER DARK. IT WAS FRIGHTENING WHEN WE FOUND OURSELVES ON A FAMILIAR COUNTRY ROAD AND UNABLE TO SEE THE USUAL LANDMARKS WHICH TELL US WHERE WE ARE. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. ILLUMINATED VISION IS VERY BRIGHT ON THE ROAD CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE BUT THERE IS A LINE MIDWAY UP THE WINDSHIELD ABOVE WHICH IT IS TOTALLY BLACK. THIS LINE BOBS UP AND DOWN WITH CURVES AND DIPS IN THE ROAD IN A DISTRACTING MANNER WHICH PREVENTS YOUR VISION FOCUSING. THE LIGHT ALSO DOES NOT EXTEND VERY FAR IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE EVEN ON FLAT PARTS OF THE ROAD. THIS IS BEGGING FOR AN ACCIDENT. WE COULD EASILY HAVE HIT A DEER OR EVEN A HUMAN BEING WALKING OR BICYCLING ON THE ROAD HAD THERE BEEN ONE. WE STOPPED DRIVING AFTER DARK UNTIL WE COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR DEALERSHIP. OUR DEALER'S MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT CANNOT BE FIXED. HE ALSO SAID THE CHEVY MALIBU HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE LOCATED AN ONLINE FORUM WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED FOR A 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY AND HONDA'S RESPONSE TO THEM WAS THE SAME AS TO US. HTTP://ANSWERS.EDMUNDS.COM/QUESTION-2011-HONDA-ODYSSEY-EX-HEADLIGHTS-AIM-LOW-IS-EASY-FIX-CAN-ROAD-ENOUGH-112164.ASPX. HONDA IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT FOR 5 VEHICLE SEASONS. WE WERE NOT INFORMED OF THIS "DESIGN FLAW" WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR. EITHER THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED OR A DISCLOSURE MADE TO THE CUSTOMER. WE OWNED AND DROVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY FOR 6 YEARS AND

I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND ONCE I STOPPED AND ACCELERATED BETWEEN 10 - 20 MPH THE CAR WOULD MAKE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AS IF THE CAR WAS SLIPPING GEARS, AND THEN WOULD DRIVE FINE. ONCE I STOPPED AGAIN AND ACCELERATED IT WOULD DO THE SAME THING. IT DID THIS 6 TIMES IN A ROW SO I PULLED OVER AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE ISSUE, NO CODES OR ERRORS COULD BE SEEN, AND THE CAR HAD THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE. I REQUESTED THE DEALER HOLD ONTO THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS TO TRY AND REPLICATE THE ISSUE. AWAITING RESULTS.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD SPEED APPROX 45MPH, IT WAS 90-94 DEGREES OUT SO AC WAS ON AND IT WAS A SEVERE RAIN STORM. WE HAD JUST LEFT THE HIGHWAY AND WERE ON A MAIN ROAD HIGHLY TRAVELED. WE NOTICED IT WAS WARM IN THE CAR AND THE AC WAS BLOWING HOT. ALL THE SUDDEN IT WAS FOGGING THE WINDOWS ON THE INSIDE. WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM BECAUSE WE COULD NOT SEE AND WITH THE DEFROSTER ON IT WAS FOGGING THE WINDOW WORSE. WE HAD OUR 2 CHILDREN IN THE BACK OF THE VAN WHO WERE SCARED OUT OF THEIR WITS WE WOULD BE REAR ENDED DURING THE STORM. WE MANAGED TO FIND A TOWEL WIPE THE WINDOW AND PULL INTO A TIRE/OIL CHANGE PLACE UP THE ROAD. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID DUE TO THE RAIN THE AC CONDENSOR STOPPED WORKING AND WE HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THEY COULD NOT FIX. WE WOULD NEED THE DEALER IN THE MORNING. WHEN WE WOKE IN THE AM THE VAN HAD DRIED AND THE AC WORKED AGAIN WE RETURNED HOME AND TOOK TO OUR LOCAL DEALER WITH AN APPT 07/03/15 WHO ADVISED US SINCE IT WORKS NOW THEIR IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. WE LIVE IN A STATE THAT RAINS DAILY AND ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE RAIN NOW. DEALER STATES IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER LEMON LAW AS IT WAS NOT LIFE THREATENING, LACK OF VISIBILTY TO US IS LIFE THREATENING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE GONE OUT AND THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE MORE THAN 2000 MILES ON IT.

SUNROOF SHATTERED OUTWARD, NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD ELIMINATING THE POSSIBILITY OF ROAD DEBRIS CAUSING THE INCIDENT. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE 65 DEGREES.

WE EMBARKED ON AN 8806 MILE, 22 DAY ROAD TRIP THROUGH THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST TO THE MIDWEST WITH OUR NEW 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. DRIVING WAS DONE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS AS HIGH AS THEY COULD BE SET. ALL WINDOWS ARE TINTED. 21 OF THE DAYS WERE BRIGHT AND SUNNY. WE COULD NOT SEE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY ON BRIGHT DAYS. NEITHER THE SPEEDOMETER OR THE TACHOMETER WERE READABLE. MY WIFE MONITORED OUR SPEED WITH A GARMIN GPS. THIS CLUSTER HAS WHITE NUMERALS AND A PALE GREY BACKGROUND. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH MAKES OPERATION UNSAFE ON BRIGHT DAYS.

ABOUT 1:30 PM, MAY 23, 2015, I WAS DRIVING MY NEW 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY EX ON EAST BOUND OF RT 529 (PLAINFILD AVE) TO RT 1 IN EDISON, NJ, THE LEFT REAR BACK MICHELIN TIRE BLEW OUT ABOUT 100 YARDS AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE ROAD. NOTHING WAS FOUND ON THE TIRE. I CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY, TOWING COMPANY, AND FINALLY I FOUND THAT A NISSAN DEALER IN RT 1 WAS JUST 200 YARDS AWAY. I SLOWLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, REPLACED THE SPARE TIRE. ON WEDNESDAY, I REPLACED A NEW MICHELIN SAME TIRE IN SWEENEY'S GULF AT EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ. THURSDAY, I WENT TO AUTOSPORT HONDA DEALER AT BRIDGEWATER, NJ WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LAST OCTOBER. BUT THE DEALER AT FIRST DENIED THE TIRE HAD DEFECT, THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HANDLE THE TIRE WARRANTY, I HAD TO GO MICHELIN DEALER. ON FRIDAY, MAY 26, I WENT TO A MICHELIN DEALER IN OLD BRIDGE, NJ. THE STAFF TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO CALL MICHELIN TO SEE WHAT I SHOULD DO. I CALLED AND EMAILED MICHELIN. FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTION, I WENT TO STS ON RT 18 TO CHECK. TODD CHECKED THE TIRE AND THE RIM, TOLD ME THAT THE TIRE HIT SOMETHING, WHICH CUT THE TIRE, NOT THE DEFECT BECAUSE HE SAW A SESAME BIG MARK ON THE EDGE OF THE RIM, WHICH CAUSED THE BLOW OUT. BUT HE COULDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTIONS: WHY THE FRONT TIRE WAS FINE? WHY THE TIRE NEAR THE RIM WAS NO ANY DAMAGE, THE BLOWOUT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDE OF THE TIRE, 3 INCHES AWAY FROM THE MARK ON THE RIM? WHY THE SHAP OF THE BLOWOUT WAS A IRREGULAR CURVE CRACK, NO STRAIGHT

SECURITY ALARM GOING OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. INITIALLY, UNLOCKED AND LOCKED WITH REMOTE. IT WENT OFF AGAIN MULTIPLE TIME BY ITSELF NOTHING TOUCHING IT OR ANY DOOR BEING OPENED. SEEMS IT IS KNOWN WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH HOOD SWITCH AND OTHER SWITCHES CAUSING ALARMS. HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR UNLOCKED OVER NIGHT BECAUSE IT WENT OFF MID NIGHT FEW TIMES. DEALER SAID IT SEEMS IT IS HOOD SWITCH(BASED ON DIAG), BUT DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN IT WAS AT DEALERSHIP. NO PARTS AVAILABLE, SO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PARTS COME IN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE AND FELT AS IF IT WERE GOING TO STALL. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

WHEN THE ECO BUTTON TURNS ON, THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO MAKE A RATTLING NOISE AND IT CHANGES HOW THE CAR DRIVES. THE STEERING WHEEL AND FOOT PETAL START TO SHAKE OR TREMBLE. ALSO, THE SUSPENSION ON THE CAR IS EXTREMELY NOISY AND HONDA HAS FAILED TO FIX IT. LASTLY AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE THIS CAR HAS, IS THAT THE GASOLINE MOVES AROUND IN THE CAR AS YOU DRIVE OR PARK YOUR CAR. YOU CAN HEAR THE GASOLINE SWOOSHING AROUND ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AT ALL TIMES. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES TO BY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT FIX ANYTHING. THEY STATE THAT EVERYTHING IS A "CHARACTERISTIC DESIGN" WITH THE CAR. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE THAT RODE IN OUR CAR, THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION AND GASOLINE ISSUE. *TR

RAIN WATER LEAKING THROUGH WINDOWS AND OUT OF THE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT ENTERING INTO AUTO CAVITY WHERE THE SLIDING DOOR MECHANISM IS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD, SHOULD I BE?

ON FEBRUARY 1, 2015, VDC (VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL), LDW (LANE DEPARTURE WARNING), AND FCW (FORWARD COLLISION WARNING) ALL FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING CONSERVATIVELY AT 25 MPH ON SNOW COVERED ROADS DURING HEAVY SNOW FALL. ALL THREE SYSTEMS REMAINED FAILED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE KEY CYCLE, WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES. DURING OTHER DRIVING LATER THAT DAY, LDW AND FCW RECOVERED, AND THOSE LIGHTS WENT OUT ON THE DASH, BUT VDC REMAINED FAILED. THE VAN SAT FOR A WEEK, THEN I DROVE IT AGAIN ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY, 6, 2015, FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES. AT THE VERY END OF THAT TRIP, THE VDC RECOVERED, AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I WENT TO GERMAIN HONDA OF ANN ARBOR, MI TO HAVE THE TROUBLE CODES READ. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO CODES STORED. *TR

VERY LOUD CLUNK NOISE AND VEHICLE JERKS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR GOING APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES. COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AFTER ENGINE RESTART. NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR WITH VEHICLE OVER $40K AND UNDER 1K MILES OF USE. *TR
