2018 Honda Odyssey complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY ODYSSESY ON A CITY STREET AND APPROACHING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. AS I BRAKED AT THE RED LIGHT, MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT PULLED THE BLACK STRAP RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER, WHICH RELEASED THE MIDDLE SEAT TO SLIDE FORWARD. THE MIDDLE SEAT WITH MY SON IN IT (WHICH WAS THEN IN A FREE SLIDE MOTION) FLEW FORWARD WITH INCREDIBLE MOMENTUM AND SLAMMED HIS HEAD INTO THE FRONT SEAT. I NOW AM WATCHING HIM FOR SIGNS OF CONCUSSION AND MONITORING HIS FRONT TEETH WHICH LOOSENED UP. THE MIDDLE SEAT RELEASE SHOULD NOT BE SO ACCESSIBLE TO YOUNG CHILDREN. IT SHOULD HAVE EITHER TWO POINTS OF ACTION REQUIRED TO RELEASE THE SEAT OR BE POSITIONED MORE OUT OF REACH FOR YOUNG CHILDREN. CURRENTLY THE STRAP IS SO CONVENIENTLY LOCATED WITHIN EASY REACH OF A CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT AND EASY TO PULL. WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR A CHAIR TO BE ABLE TO SLIDE FREELY AND FOLD. THIS DESIGN FLAW SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL.

DRIVER DOOR DOES NOT UNLOCK. THE AUTOMATIC UNLOCK BEEPS LIKE IT IS WORKING, BUT DOES NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR. I HAVE TO CRAWL INTO THE BACK AND THEN I CAN UNLOCK DRIVER DOOR INTERNALLY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY MAKING IT HARD FOR DEALERSHIP TO SEE PROBLEM AND FIX. THEY WILL NOT FIX UNLESS IT CAN BE REPRO DUCIBLE. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A FORUM WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND UNABLE TO GET FIXED DUE TO HONDA WANTING IT REPRODUCIBLE.

2018 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS PURCHASED 3/16/2018 AT WEST HONDA DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN LAS VEGAS. NOT LONG AFTER PURCHASE, STRONG FUEL, AND SIMILAR CHEMICAL ODOR APPEARED, ODOR CAME OUT OF THE AIR VENTS DIRECTLY. THE ODOR IS SO STRONG THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SMELL CHEMICAL AND SMOKY FOR DAYS. ODOR ALWAYS APPEARED DURING DRIVING, THE LEVEL OF STRONGNESS CAUSED NAUSEA, COUGH, AND HEADACHE. ADDRESSED THE ISSUE TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, WITH THE MENTION OF HEALTH CONCERN AND FIRE RISK DURING DRIVING. BOTH DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE ADVISORS VERIFIED THE ISSUE VERBALLY, DID DIAGNOSIS IN 3 OUT OF 4 TOTAL VISITS. COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE WHILE ODOR PRESENTING IN THE CAR; THUS, NO REPAIR WAS DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE. REPORTS ARE COLLECTED, FILED A COMPLAINT TO THE HEADQUARTER. CASE MANAGER ADMITTED THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AS SIMILAR CASES WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE ARE HEARD FROM THE SAME AREA. BEING TOLD THAT NO INSPECTION CAN BE DONE WITHOUT ODOR APPEARS AGAIN AND IGNORED THE PREVIOUS VISITS' RESULTS.

PURCHASED VEHICLE TOWARDS THE END OF THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2018, THIRTY DAYS LATER THE DRIVER FRONT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. TRIED UNLOCKING THE DOOR FROM THE KEY FOB AND DOOR REMAINED LOCKED. INSERTED THE KEY IN THE CYLINDER AND WAS A BIT HARD TO TURN THE CYLINDER TO UNLOCK. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOOR I HAD TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SLIDE DOOR AND COME IN THROUGH THE BACK TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. EVEN THEN THE INNER DOOR HANDLE WAS HARD TO PULL. THIS CREATE AN ISSUE AND INCONVENIENCE AS THIS IS A FAMILY CAR, HAVING THIS ISSUE IN VERY HUMID DAY ONLY MAKES IT WORSE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERS DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT HONDA IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR MONTHS.

DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WON'T CLOSE.THE ISSUE ACTUALLY PRESENTED ITSELF THE DAY WE PURCHASE IT AND THEY SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED IT A "HICCUP". WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THE SENSOR BEEPS THREE TIMES AND THEN REOPENS. I HAVE TO DISENGAGE THE DOORS TO MANUALLY CLOSE IT OR BE READY TO "HELP" THE DOOR CONTINUE ON THE TRACK TO CLOSING. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR COMPLETELY STOPS IN THE TRACK HALF WAY WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY BEEPING. I TOOK THE VAN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER A MONTH AGO AND THEY SAID THAT THEY STILL HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM HONDA (AS OF TODAY) AS TO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

TOURING-REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM SHUTS OFF TO BLACK SCREEN AND CABIN WATCH LOSES SIGNAL AND GIVES AN ERROR CODE. WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES, THE KIDS CAN ONLY WATCH THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF THEIR DVD BEFORE THE SYSTEM SEEMS TO OVERHEAT AND COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. WE HAVE RESORTED TO TURNING IT OFF TO LET IT COOL DOWN ( DVD THAT IS REMOVED FROM THE PLAYER COMES OUT SCALDING HOT) BEFORE RETRYING TO LET THEM WATCH AND HAVE IT FAIL A FEW MINUTES LATER. CABINWATCH SEEMS TO ACT UP AT THE SAME TIME THE REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FAILS.

SLIDING DOORS DO NO CLOSE AT TIMES. IT IS INCONSISTENT AND WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER THEY CANNOT REPLICATE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AS WELL AS VIDEOS OF THE ISSUE. I HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR STOPPED OPENING ALTOGETHER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED THE MECHANISM THAT OPENS THE DOOR AS WELL AS THE SENSORS ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS TO ADDRESS THE CLOSING OF THE DOORS. THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO OPEN ONCE MORE, BUT NOT EVEN A WEEK AFTER I EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE WITH CLOSING THE DOORS ONCE AGAIN. TO CLOSE THE DOORS, WE NEED TO REPEATEDLY PRESS THE CLOSE BUTTON WHEN THE DOORS ARE TRYING TO OPEN BACK UP, BUT THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR VARIOUS REASONS.

SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE. SOMETIMES THE DOOR WILL CLOSE ALMOST TO THE END AND THEN RECOIL OR THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AT ALL (IT JUST BEEPS). A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE APPEAR TO BE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH ALL SORTS OF FIXES THAT ARE NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM (HTTPS://WWW.ODYCLUB.COM/FORUMS/81-2018-ODYSSEY/309801-DRIVER-S-SIDE-SLIDING-DOOR-STOPPED-CLOSING.HTML#/TOPICS/309801?PAGE=6) AND APPEARS RELATED TO NHSTA COMPLAINT NUMBER 10136418. DEALER INSPECTED AND REPLACED MOTORS ON BOTH DOORS PER HONDA'S RECOMMENDATION. PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY REAPPEARED MAKING IT SO THE DOOR CANNOT BE CLOSED UNLESS DISENGAGING THE POWER TO THE DOORS, EXITING THE VEHICLE, AND MANUALLY CLOSING THE DOORS. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND IS GETTING WORSE.

ON MARCH 24, MY 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY SHIFTED INTO PARK AT 65 MPH ON I-95 IN PHILADELPHIA. THE HONDA REP, OLIVER (A HONDA EMPLOYEE), EXPLAINED TO MY HUSBAND THAT WHEN THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR CONNECTED TO THE COLLUSION AVOIDANCE SENSOR DISCONNECTS, A COMPUTER ASSUMES THE CAR IS OFF AND THAT FORCES THE CAR INTO PARK REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED IT IS GOING. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING, THE ENTERTAINMENT PANEL SCREEN WENT BLANK AND WHILE IT WAS REBOOTING, I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE CAR, NO GAS, NO BRAKE, STEERING WAS DIFFICULT. WHEN IT REBOOT, IT WAS IN PARK AND THE ENGINE MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE LIKE METAL HITTING METAL. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHLY WITH MY THREE CHILDREN AGES 8 MONTHS, 2 YEARS AND 4 YEARS OLD IN THE CAR. THE HONDA REP BELIEVES THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH THE WAY THE POWER CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY. HE EXPLAIN THAT THIS CAUSED THE SENSORS TO DISCONNECT INTERMITTENTLY. THE REP, OLIVER, BLAMED THE PROBLEM ON THE DEALERSHIP DURING THEIR REPAIR OF THE CAR FOR AN UNRELATED ISSUE. HOWEVER, THIS IS INCORRECT. THE CAR FRONT SENSOR HAVE BEEN LOSING CONNECTION TO THE COMPUTER SINCE WE TOOK IT HOME BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP TOUCHED THE BATTERY. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR'S ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT I WOULD NOT BRING UP, BUT OLIVER'S DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR COMPUTER SYSTEM MAKES IT RELEVANT. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR HAS 6 COMPUTER CONNECTED WITH ETHERNET CABLES. MUCH OF THE WORK FOR THE BASIC FUNCTION OF THE CAR AND

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE ENGINE REVVED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE REMAINED ON, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PRIOR TO THIS, WHILE DRIVING DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, LOST POWER, AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PERFECTION HONDA (2603 AMERICAN RD SE, RIO RANCHO, NM 87124, 505-221-5084) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NOTHING WAS DONE. ALSO, WHENEVER THE SPARE TIRE WAS IN USE, ALL THE SAFETY SYSTEMS, SUCH AS THE LANE KEEP ASSIST, LANE DEPARTURE WARNING, COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM, AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I THOUGHT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR START ROLLING AGAIN, EVEN IF I GOT OUT OF THE CAR OR TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE. ON ONE OCCASION, IT ROLLED INTO MY GARAGE ENTRY DOOR TO MY HOME. CAUSED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS DAMAGE TO MY DOOR , AND MINOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER. WARNING SYSTEM IN CAR SOUNDED, BUT AUTO BRAKE SYSTEM DIDN'T ACTIVATE TO STOP THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (SHEEHY HONDA, 7434 RICHMOND HWY, ALEXANDRIA, VA). THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. APPROXIMATELY NINE MONTHS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY SWITCHED FROM REVERSE TO THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS FAULTY. THE DOOR UNLATCHED WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY TURNED OFF. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOORS OFTEN FAIL TO CLOSE USING THE ELECTRIC CLOSING SYSTEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS IF NOT NOTICED BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE NOT LATCHED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR BECAME AJAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WALDORF HONDA (2450 CRAIN HWY, WALDORF, MD 20601, (301) 843-8700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR STUCK IN OPEN POSITION AS THE LATCH HAS BROKEN. DOOR WILL NOT CLOSED INTO POSITION. I TRIED TO CLOSE USING MANUAL AND AUTOMATIC DOOR CLOSING OPTIONS TO NO AVAIL. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY SO NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENTS.

THE BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES ARE NOT HOLDING UP I HAVE POPPED BOTH FRONT TIRES- ON SEPARATE INCIDENTS IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS SINCE IN GOT THE VAN. I PREVIOUSLY DROVE A SIENNA AND A PATHFINDER AND HAVE NOT HAD A POPPED TIRE BEFORE .

IF I BUY A NEW 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY AT AROUND 4000 MILES START HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT AROUND FIVE TO SIX THOUSAND MILES I START GETTING A HORRIBLE TOXIC BURNING CHEMICAL SMELL COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAR SOMEWHERE DO YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY NOTHING'S WRONG OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS DOING WHAT IT'S DOING

THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN TRYING TO ENTER TRAFFIC AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION. IT PAUSES FOR UP TO 5 SECONDS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC. THE ANNOYING ENGINE SHUT DOWN ON STOPPING IS, DISABLED AT THE TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED CONSTANTLY SINCE PURCHASED.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE.. (THEIR HIGHER TRIM) $50K AS SOON AS I DROVE OFF THE LOT. THE CAR GAVE ME AN ERROR. I IGNORED IT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP THEY INSTALL A NEW BATTERY THAT APPARENTLY THIS IS A SPECIAL KIND OF BATTERY. THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM KEEPS IN DEFAULT. I TOOK IT IN 6 TIMES ALREADY NO SOLUTION JUST RUN AROUND. WHEN YOU START EVERYTHING IS FINE AFTER 10 MINUTES OF PLAYING ANYTHING THE SCREEN GOES CRAZY. I ATTACHED PICTURES. NOTHING WORKS. SOME TIMES IF YOU RESTART THE CAR YOU ARE LUCKY AND YOU GET PICTURE. BUT MUST OF THE TIME YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR A FEW HOURS. I THINK HONDA DESERVES A VISIT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I CALLED THE DEALER SHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY TOLD ME TO CALL CORPORATE WHICH I DID AND THEY OPEN A CASE. BUT NO SOLUTION YET.

HAVING ISSUE OF ACCELERATION AT ROAD SPEED. WHEN DOING ROAD SPEED I HAVE HAD FLAT ACCELERATION WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL. ALMOST FEELS AS IF VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO STALL OR DECELERATE. DEALER WITH VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T FIND ISSUE. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY HONDA COMPANY REPORTS ABOUT THIS. THIS EVENT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. LAST EVENT INTERESTING IS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN DECELERATING TO ENTER EZPASS EXPRESS TOLL AT AT 50MPH AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO FLOW OF TRAFFIC

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED LETTER REGARDING THE POWER SLIDING DOOR THAT FAILS TO SHUT ALL THE WAY.

SOMETIMES, THE DRIVER SIDE, READ DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE WITH BUTTON, INSTEAD I HAVE TO HARD PUSH THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT MANUALLY. IT HAPPENS WITH BOTH KEY AND "CLOSE" BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS HAPPENING PERIODICALLY.

THE SLIDING REAR DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT FULLY LATCH, THUS THE DOOR REMAINS SLIGHTLY AJAR. IT REMAINS AS SUCH WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

ON MONDAY, JUNE 18, 2018 AT ABOUT 8:00 AM MY WIFE WAS SITTING STATIONARY AT A STOPLIGHT AND THE WINDOW IN THE REAR HATCH EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS/VEHICLES AROUND HER AND THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR. THE WINDOW EXPLODED FOR NO VISIBLE REASON. THE GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE INTO THE REAR PART OF THE VAN AND REAR SEAT AREA. WE BROUGHT THE VAN TO INVER GROVE HONDA IN INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN (WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VAN NEW IN DECEMBER, 2017) AND THEY REFUSED TO CLASSIFY THIS AS A DEFECT AND DIRECTED US TO FILE A CLAIM WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY (WHICH WE DID). THEY DID PROVIDE US WITH A LOANER CAR FOR FREE AND HELPED US WORK WITH A GLASS REPLACEMENT SHOP. HOWEVER, I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, THE GLASS HATCH WINDOW SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPLODED FOR NO REASON.

1. ONE OF THE TWO KEYS PROVIDED DID NOT OPEN THE DOORS. WE TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND IT WAS REPROGRAMMED. 2. A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK, NOT EVEN FROM THE INSIDE. THEY HAD THE DOOR LATCH REPLACED. 3. LAST WEEK THE BACK DOOR WOULD CLOSE BUT WOULD NOT LOCK BY ITSELF. ON THE WAY TO THE SERVICE CENTER, WE WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL GEAR AND SHUT OFF. AN "EMISSION SYSTEM PROBLEM" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ON THE DASH. WE CALLED ROAD ASSISTANCE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP. THEY RAN EXTENSIVE TESTS BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON IT, HOOKED UP A COMPUTER AND TOOK IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY HE CALLED AND INDICATED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL COMPUTER WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD ORDER IT TO HAVE IT REPLACED. TODAY.

WHILE TRAVELING ON CITY STREETS FOR 2 HOURS AND 1 HOUR HIGH WAY DRIVING, DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT 6/21/18 AND 6/22/18, THE INSIDE CABIN OF THE VAN FILLED WITH A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASEOUS FUMES. THE OVERWHELMING FUMES LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS ON BOTH DAYS. ALSO LEAVING FUMES IN THE CAR OVERNIGHT WHICH WERE DETECTED AS WE ENTERED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AROUND 9:30 A.M. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA AUTO NATION IN LAS VEGAS AT 10:45 AM. ON 6/23/18. AFTER TWO HOURS THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I WAS ADAMANT IN REFUSING TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM AND THAT MY FAMILIES LIFE WAS NOT IN DANGER. I WAS TAKEN TO TWO OF THE DEALERSHIP'S MANAGERS AND WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE INSIDE OF THE CAR TO FILL UP WITH FUMES ON HOT DAYS AND THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT SINCE THE CAR FILTERS THE FUMES TO THE FRONT ENGINE AND THEN INTO THE VEHICLES CABIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A GOVERNMENT REGULATION THAT FUMES NOT BE TRANSMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT BUT RATHER TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, BUT FIRST THROUGH FILTERS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE IN MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING NEW VEHICLES. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY VIEWED INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A HONDA CRV LAWSUIT FOR THEIR 2015-2017 VEHICLES PERTAINING SPECIFICALLY TO GASEOUS FUMES FROM GASOLINE. I AM TERRIFIED TO USE THIS VEHICLE. NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE TO ENDURE THE FUMES FOR HOURS, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT OUR SAFETY IS AT STAKE DUE

PUSH BUTTON SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IS PROBLEMATIC. IF THE DRIVE BUTTON IS NOT PRESSED FIRMLY ENOUGH THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN REVERSE, BUT THE DRIVER THINKS THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. IF THERE IS A PERSON BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND THE OPERATOR PRESSES THE THROTTLE THEN A POSSIBLY DEADLY ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE THERE IS AN AUDIO NOTIFICATION (A CHIME SOUND) THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. THE IS NO SIMILAR NOTIFICATION WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING FLAW.

CUSTOMER STATES INTERMITTENTLY RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, SLIDING DOOR AJAR LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE USING AUTOMATICALLY, HAVING TO MANUALLY/FORCEFULLY PUSH DOOR CLOSE, HAS HAPPENED TWICE DEALER SHIP DID NOT DO ANYTHING AS THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IS HAPPENING WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION AND THE DOOR IS OPENING. WITH KIDS ON BOARD IT IS ALWAYS RISKY. I STOPPED LETTING THEM SIT ON THAT SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WITHIN MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE DEALER (ATLANTIC HONDA, 1375 SUNRISE HWY, BAY SHORE, NY 11706, (631) 665-0005) TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND HEARD THE NOISE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. *JS

ON JUNE 3RD MY 4 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SECURELY RESTRAINED IN HER BRITAX CLIGHTIGHT 5 POINT HARNESS IN THE SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER IN THE MIDDLE ROW. WE WERE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AFTER A GROCERY TRIP AND I WAS GETTING READY TO RETURN HOME AFTER SHOPPING. I PUT HER IN THE CAR AND CLOSED THE DOOR OF THE VAN. SHE TRIED STOPPING THE DOOR WITH HER FOOT BUT HER FOOT DIDN'T REACH THE PRESSURE SENSOR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR (THE THIN BLACK TUBING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE) SO THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER FOOT CAUSING BRUISING.I TALKED TO 3 HONDA DEALERS AND I HAVE A COMPLAINT FILED WITH HONDA. WHEN HONDA RETURNED MY CALL I WAS INSTRUCTED THAT HIS JOB WAS TO INFORM ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS LIMITATIONS AND THAT THE LAST THREE INCHES OF THE DOOR IS THE "POINT OF NO RETURN" WHERE THE DOOR NEEDS MOMENTUM TO LOCK. THE LAST EXPERIENCE WAS AT THE HONDA STORE WHERE A SALESMAN SHOWED ME THE 2019 HONDA. I DESCRIBED THE INCIDENT TO HIM AND ASKED HIM TO TRY STOPPING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SENSOR ON THE OUTSIDE. HE FIRST TOUCHED THE OUTSIDE SENSOR. I HAD HIM RETRY STOPPING THE DOOR ONLY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR WHERE MY DAUGHTERS FOOT WAS. HE SAID THE "POINT OF NO RETURN" ARGUMENT FROM HONDA OVER THE PHONE WASN'T TRUE BECAUSE THE PRESSURE SENSOR STOPPED THE DOOR WHEN HE TOUCHED IT AN INCH FROM THE DOOR. HE TOLD ME HE THOUGHT IT WAS ODD BECAUSE THE TAILGATE RETRACTS WHEN TOUCHED. HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO FIND OUT WHO I SHOULD CONTACT BUT NEVER GOT BACK TO

THE PASSENGERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AUTOMATICALLY. THE OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON ON THE DASH WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR EITHER. THE KEY FOB WOULDN'T OPEN IT. WE SHUT OFF THE AUTOMATIC DOOR FEATURE AND THE DOOR STILL WOULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR HOME, THE DOOR OPENED WITHOUT ISSUE.

BRAND NEW VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 700 MILES ON ODOMETER. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY; EITHER VIA THE PUSH-BUTTON OPERATION OR MANUALLY. MADE A GRINDING SOUND WHEN CLOSING AND THEN BEEPED 3 TIMES. DROVE THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WITH DOOR AJAR (BEEPING ALARMS THE ENTIRE WAY)

THE SLIDING DOOR CAN'T BE PHYSICALLY CLOSE AFTER IT WAS OPEN, THE VEHICLE CAN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE TO A DESTINATION WITH THE OPEN DOOR IF KIDS INSIDE, AND THE DOOR CAN'T BE CLOSED EVEN MANUALLY.

2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE, 4 MONTHS OLD AND 650 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE MOON ROOF EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN GOING OFF. REMANANTS OF THE MOON ROOF ARE SHAPED UPWARDS SHOWING THE EXPLOSION CAME FROM THE INSIDE AND NOT BEING HIT BY A ROCK, ETC. NO TRAFFIC WAS IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AND I WASN'T DRIVING UNDER A UNDERPASS.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON CITY STREETS AND STARTED TO SMELL SMOKE. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DASH BOARD STARTED TO FLASH ENGINE PROBLEM AND CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AND STOPPED IT. WHEN THEN I SAW SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 5MIN THE CAR STARTED TO GO UP IN FLAMES.

AT 25 MPH THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM UNEXPECTEDLY ENGAGED AND BRAKED WITH FULL ANTILOCK VIBRATIONS WHEN THERE WAS NO CAR WITHIN BRAKING RANGE. THE CAR BEHIND ME BRAKED HARD AND AN ACCIDENT WAS FORTUNATELY AVOIDED. THIS OCCURRED AFTER DEALING WITH THE DEALER OVER SEVERAL DAYS REGARDING PHANTOM COLLISION AVOIDANCE CAUTIONS OCCURRING ON A DAILY BASIS. THE VEHICLE ALSO BRAKED AUTONOMOUSLY WITHOUT ANY CAR IN FRONT OF IT EARLIER IN THE EVENING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN PROMPTED. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, ALL OF THE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN WHEN PROMPTED BY THE KEY FOB. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE MITIGATION ENGAGED WITH A VISUAL AND AUDIO ALARM; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE AROUND. FURTHERMORE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS DID NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED AND THE CROSS-TRAFFIC MONITOR MALFUNCTIONED AND HAD TO BE TURNED OFF. DEL RAY HONDA (2500 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, DEL RAY BEACH, FL) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE SERIES OF FAILURES. THE BATTERY AND THE TUNERS WERE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: [XXX]. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 636. *TT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

I AM OLDER AND I BELIEVE THE TURN SIGNAL VOLUME IS TOO LOW ESPECIALLY DUE TO ROAD NOISE. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I DRIVE WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO HESR THE TURN SIGNALS. HONDA CANNOT FIX THE VOLUME..

THE CENTER CONSOLE, WHICH IS THE MONITOR THAT UTILIZES GPS NAVIGATION, REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAY, CONTROLS HEAT/AC, VOLUME CONTROL, ETC. HAS CONTINUED TO FAIL SINCE DATE OF PURCHASE (7/15/17). THE MONITOR SHUTS DOWN AT RANDOM TIMES, FOR UNIDENTIFIED REASONS, LEAVING THE DRIVER, DISTRACTED AND ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE. THE SHUT DOWN CAN OCCUR WHILE IN THE VAN IS MOVING OR STATIONARY. NAVIGATION SHUTS DOWN WHILE THE DRIVER IS IN ROUTE TO A LOCATION CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION. WHEN THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN THE HEAT/AC ALSO SHUT DOWN FORCING THE DRIVER TO MANUALLY ADJUST, WHICH WHILE DRIVING IS AN UNNECESSARY DISTRACTION. HONDA WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN AUGUST 2017. WE BROUGHT OUR VAN IN TO THE SHOP TWICE AND NO RESOLUTION WAS FOUND. WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AMERICA (VOICE MAILS ARE RETAINED AS RECORD). AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF NO RESOLUTION, HONDA AMERICAN TOLD US OUR CASE WAS BEING CLOSED BECAUSE THE COMPANY CONTINUED TO HAVE NO RESOLUTION. 7 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE THE CENTER CONSOLE/MONITOR CONTINUES TO RANDOMLY FAIL. SOMETIMES THE MONITOR GOES BLACK, SOME FEATURES WORK WHILE OTHERS STOP (FOR EXAMPLE THE RADIO MAY WORK WHILE THE SCREEN IS BLACK). SOMETIMES THE MONITOR GOES BLUE AND EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN. PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF THESE OCCURRENCES WERE SUBMITTED TO HONDA VIA EMAIL. THE PROMOTED FEATURES BY HONDA AMERICA LEAD THE BUYER TO BELIEVE THERE IS ADDED SAFETY IN THIS VAN. THE OPPOSITE HAS TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE. THESE FAILURES CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS FOR THE

THE FRONT WINDOW WASHER WILL NOT DISPENSE FLUID WHEN THE WEATHER IS COLD. DEALERSHIP SAID FLUID FREEZES IN THE BOTTLE, BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE BECAUSE BACK NOZZLE WORKS. FRONT NOZZLES WORK IF VAN LEFT IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT. THIS MORNING, AFTER 15 MIN OF DRIVING IN 10 DEGREES, FRONT NOZZLES DO NOT DISPENSE. HONDA DEALERSHIP SHRUGGED WHEN I SAID IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. DRY SNOW, SALT, ICE, MUD THROWN ON WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING, AND NO WAY TO EFFECTIVELY CLEAR IT OFF. WASHER FLUID WAS FILLED BY DEALERSHIP ONE WEEK AGO. DISPENSER BOTTLE IS 95% FULL. THE ISSUE IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DISPENSER BOTTLE AND FRONT NOZZLES. THIS FIRST HAPPENED YESTERDAY EVENING WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME IN THE DARK (ABOUT 10 DEGREES OUT). WINDSHIELD WAS DANGEROUSLY DIRTY BY THE TIME I GOT HOME.

1. ) FUEL EFFICIENCY IS NOT AS REPORTED; IT IS SEVERAL MPGS LOWER UNDER ALL CONDITIONS (HIGHWAY/CITY). 2.) SAFETY SENSOR TO ALERT FOR PEDESTRIANS ON SIDES/FRONT DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. EVEN SERVICE REP AT DEALERSHIP SAID SHE HAS HAD OTHER REPORTS OF IT NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THE SENSORS/SYSTEM MAY NEED TO BE 'RESET'. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO THINK THESE SYSTEMS CAN FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING MESSAGE OR NOTICE. CAR WAS AT A STOP AND AS IT STARTED MOVING FORWARD, A PEDESTRIAN CAME FROM THE RIGHT FRONT AND WAS NEARLY HIT. THERE WERE NO ADVANCE WARNINGS, AUDIO/VISUAL TO ALERT THE DRIVER. ALSO AFTER CHECKING WITH A FRIEND, WE COULD NOT TRIGGER THE ALERT WALKING FROM RIGHT TO LEFT (FROM SIDE TO FRONT) OF VEHICLE. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, THANKFULLY, BUT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THESE SYSTEMS FAIL AND NEED TO BE CHECKED TO NOTIFY OF ONCOMING PEDESTRIANS/BIKERS/VEHICLES. I BOUGHT THIS EXPENSIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAD 'SENSORS' AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FAR SAFER ACCORDING TO SALES GUY. NOT THE CASE. THE PUBLIC IS BEING MISLED.

ON SATURDAY, 1/27/18 AT 9:17AM MOUNTAIN TIME WE WERE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD FOLLOWING A SILVER SUV. AS WE APPROACH AN INTERSECTION WITH A GREEN LIGHT, THE SUV IN FRONT OF US TURNED ON THEIR BLINKER TO SLOW DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. WE WERE FOLLOWING BEHIND AT A SAFE DISTANCE. THE SUV SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY TO MAKE THE TURN, BUT WE REMAINED BEHIND AT A SAFE DISTANCE AS THE SUV MADE THE TURN. THE AUTOMATIC COLLISION DETECTION SYSTEM ON OUR HONDA ODYSSEY FLASHED A WARNING, AS I'VE SEEN BEFORE, AND THE WARNING WAS APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE SITUATION. THE SUV COMPLETED ITS TURN AND I REAPPLIED THE GAS IN THE INTERSECTION. AS I DID SO, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY BRAKED, VERY HARD, CAUSING US TO ALMOST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE INTERSECTION. I ASSUME THAT WE WERE TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF APPX 15 MILES PER HOUR AS WE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION. WE WERE ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY THE CAR BEHIND US (WHO HONKED AT US, AND WITH GOOD REASON). THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING TO ENGAGE IN THIS SITUATION. FURTHERMORE, THE BRAKING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED MUCH TOO LATE TO AVOID A COLLISION HAD ONE BEEN IMMINENT. THE FEELING OF LOSING CONTROL OF DRIVING YOUR OWN VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSETTLING. WHILE I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING FEATURE, THIS EVENT IS INCREDIBLY CONCERNING. NO ONE WAS HURT AND NOTHING WAS DAMAGED LUCKILY. BUT, THIS EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT.

THE RIGHT BACK SLIDING DOORS DOES NOT CLOSE WHEN THE CLOSE BUTTON IS PRESSED. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR ON MANUAL OPERATION TO DRAG THE DOOR SHUT. EVEN THEN, IT IS NOT COMPLETELY SHUT THE "OPEN DOOR " ALARM GOES OFF FOR UP TO 10 MILES AND THEN EVENTUALLY THE DOOR SHUTS COMPLETELY .

OUR NEW 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY EX HAS FAILED TWICE TO RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO IDLE AND PUSHED ME OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY AFTER PRESSING THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE RESPONDED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON A FREEWAY TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUR COASTING BEHIND TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN, THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND THE FIRST TIME I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER ABOUT THE THIRD ATTEMPT, THE ENGINE RESPONDED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER. THEY KEPT OVERNIGHT TO TEST IT WHEN IT WAS COLD AND RAN DIAGNOSTICS. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HOPE THEY FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE THIS CAR KILLS ME.

THE VAN WILL STALL AFTER STOPPING. WHILE TURNING RIGHT, I STOP AT A STOP SIGN, WAITING AND WHEN IT'S SAFE, GO TO START TO TURN, PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VAN WILL STALL. IT WILL TAKE ME RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHING IT AGAIN TO GET IT TO MOVE AGAIN. THIS IS TERRIFIYING. THIS HAS HAPPENED UPWARDS OF 20 PLUS TIMES SINCE PURCHASING THE VAN IN AUGUST 2017.

OUR 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY ELITE HAS A FEATURE CALLED IDLE STOP. THE FEATURE HAS MANY CRITERIA THAT MUST BE MET BEFORE IT WILL ACTIVATE. IT SHOULD JUST TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN THE CRITERIA HAVE BEEN MET IN AN EFFORT TO CONSERVE FUEL IN LIEU OF IDLING. WE ARE SEEING A RANDOM ISSUE WHEN THIS FEATURE ACTIVATES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF THE CAR ENTIRELY AND PLACE IT IN PARK. WE MUST MANUALLY START OUR VEHICLE AGAIN THEN PLACE IT BACK IN DRIVE TO PROCEED. WE'VE HAD IT HAPPEN THREE TIMES. ALL HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT STOP LIGHTS FOLLOWING A COMPLETE STOP. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE TOOK PLACE AT A STOP LIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE HIGHWAY. I'M CONCERNED WE WILL BE REAR ENDED DUE TO OUR VEHICLE BEING DISABLED AT AN INTERSECTION. IT'S CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE FIFTH TIME (MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE) TO HOPEFULLY FIND A SOLUTION.

I JUST GOT DELIVERY OF THIS NEW 2018 EX-L W NAV+RES. THE HORN ON THIS VEHICLE IS TOO SOFT AND SOMETIMES ON BUSY HIGHWAYS CANNOT BE HEARD FROM OTHER CARS WHEN THE IT IS PRESSED IN EMERGENCY, ESPECIALLY IF THE OTHER DRIVER IS LESSENING TO RADIO AT MODERATE TO HIGH VOLUME. COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS ODYSSEY AND OTHER VEHICLES THIS MODEL TRIM HAS A SINGLE HORN WHEREAS OTHER HAD DOUBLE. THE HORN VOLUME NEEDS TO HIGHER FOR OTHER TO BE ABLE TO HEAR

HEADLIGHTS: WHEN THE VAN WAS PURCHASED I DISCOVERED SEVERAL DAYS LATER THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. DISCOVERED THE LIGHTS WAS NOT PLUGGED IN. DECEMBER 18 & 27 THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM DISABLED. THE DEALERSHIP PICKED UP VAN AND SAID THEY REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CONNECTION THAT WAS NOT SECURELY CLIPPED TOGETHER. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I HAD BEEN PARKED AND AWAY FROM THE VAN FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR ON BOTH OCCASIONS. WHEN I STARTED IT TO LEAVE THE ERROR MESSAGE WAS ON THE SCREEN. IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP BOTH TIMES.

MY SON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN SECOND ROW BEHIND DRIVER'S SEAT WHEN HE GRABBED THE SEATBELT OF THE MIDDLE SEAT THAT ATTACHES TO THE ROOF AND WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK. HE STARTED COUGHING WHEN WE NOTICED THAT HE HAD WRAPPED THE SEATBELT AROUND HIS NECK WE STOOPED THE CAR AND I WENT BACK TO TAKE HIM OUT BUT THE SEATBELT WAS LOCKED AND THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE SEATBELT SO WE HAD TO CUT THE SEATBELT IN ORDER TO TAKE HIM OUT OF IT. I TRIED TO COMPLAIN AT HONDA BUT THEY SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE AS ITS THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. BUT TO ME ITS REALLY VERY DANGEROUS WE WERE LUCKY WE SAW HIM BUT A CHILD CAN EASILY DIE BECAUSE ITS SO EASY FOR ANY CHILD TO GRAB THAT SEATBELT.I HAVE ATTACHED THE PIC WHERE IT SHOWS HOW THAT SEATBELT WORKS FIRST IT LOCKS INTO 1 AND THEN INTO THE 2 LATCH. THE 1 LATCH CANNOT BE UNLOCKED.
