2015 Honda Odyssey Complaint Log

I PURCHASED MY 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY BRAND NEW AND HAVE DONE ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON TIME WITH HONDA. MY SLIDING DOORS DO NOT STOP IF SOMETHING IS IN THE WAY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE A CHILD HAS TRIED TO GO IN/OUT WHILE THE DOOR IS SHUTTING AND IT HAS NOT STOPPED, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THEN IN 2018 WITH ONLY 32K MILES OR SO I STARTED TO HEAR A SQUEAL TYPE NOISE AT 2K RPM AND ABOUT 60MPH. IT ONLY HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ON THE ROAD TRIP THEN AGAIN ON MY NEXT ROAD TRIP. HONDA LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW BUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOULD BE CHANGED. IT WAS CHANGED AT 29000 MILES WITH THE 30,000 MILE MAINTENANCE. WHEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY I TOOK IT IN AGAIN, NOW AT 47,000 MILES. HONDA SAYS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS DIRTY AND NEEDS TO HAVE WORK DONE. 4 WEEKS LATER I AM STILL WAITING FOR LOCAL HONDA TO GET OK FROM HEAD HONDA FOR FIX OF THROTTLE CONTROL WHINE. HONDA TECH WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE WHINE/SQUEAL WHILE DRIVING IT.

THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLAMMED SHUT WHEN I PUSHED THE CLOSE BUTTON. IF IT WERE OPERATING IN MANUAL MODE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR THIS, AND LUCKILY IT WAS ONLY ME OPERATING THIS DOOR IN THIS INSTANCE, HOWEVER, THE FORCE WITH WHICH IT SHUT, UNEXPECTEDLY, BECAUSE ONE TINY ELECTRICAL WIRE, WHICH APPARENTLY CONTROLS THE WHOLE THING, BECAME DISCONNECTED SOMEHOW, WAS ENOUGH TO SCARE ME QUITE A LOT ABOUT HAVING MY CHILDREN OPERATE THESE DOORS IN THE FUTURE, WHICH SEEMS RIDICULOUS - I SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF MY CHILD BEING ABLE TO SAFELY OPERATE THEIR DOOR. (WE WERE PARKED FACING SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL IN OUR DRIVEWAY).

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT LOW SPEED, AND THEN ACCELERATING, VAN HAS A JERK OR HARD SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS 1-2. THIS HARD SHIFT IS ENOUGH TO THROW US BACK INTO OUR SEATS AND DOES NOT OCCUR AT HIGH SPEEDS. FLUID HAS BEEN FLUSHED AND TORQUE CONVERTER CHANGED BUT STILL OCCURS. IT CAN HAPPEN AFTER FIRST STARTING CAR OR AFTER A LONG DRIVE. SPECIFICALLY NOTICE THIS IN YIELD TYPE SITUATIONS, ROUND ABOUT A AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, WHERE THE CAR IS DECELERATING AND THEN ACCELERATED. IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR DOES NOT KNOW WHICH GROUPS EAR TO BE IN AND THEN JERKS DOWN INTO GEAR AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE.

DOOR ALMOST KILLED MY DAUGHTER. WE WERE GETTING KIDS BUCKLED IN AND MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FELL DOWN. I WENT TO THE OTHER SIDE TO HELP HER. WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR I SAW SHE WAS STUCK BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE SEAT AND THE DOOR WAS MOVING BACK ON HER. HER HEAD WAS JAMMED BETWEEN THE SLIDING DOOR CUP HOLDER AND THE SIDE OF THE VAN. I AM 220LBS AND WITH ALL MY MIGHT WAS HOLDING THE DOOR FROM OPENING ALL THE WAY AND I THINK CRUSHING HER HEAD (AS THE DOOR GOING BACK WITH THE CUP HOLDER ON THE FLOOR- WAS PINNING HER HEAD BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE VAN). THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THE DOOR IS VERY GOOD WITH ANY OBSTRUCTION WHILE THE DOOR IS CLOSING IS SENSED BY THE DOOR AND IT IMMEDIATELY STOPS. YOU NEED A SIMILAR SENSOR SO THAT IF A HEAD, OR ARM OR LEG IS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR WHILE IT IS SLIDING BACK TO OPEN, IT WOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY. THE DOOR CLOSE BUTTON WOULD HAVE WORKED OR PULLING THE HANDLE OUT (WHICH I DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME) BUT I DID NOT THINK OF IT AS I WAS IN A PANIC TRYING TO STOP THE DOOR FROM CRUSHING MY DAUGHTERS HEAD. IT SHOULD HAVE AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED IN CASE AN ADULT WAS NOT THERE PLEASE FIX THIS THIS REALLY COULD HAVE KILLED MY DAUGHTER INSTEAD HER EAR IS VERY HURT BUT SHOULD BE OK. THANKS SO MUCH- TIM

STEERING WHEEL CLICKS/POPS WHILE TURNING DUE TO A BAD BEARING, MAY BE CORRODED, REFERENCE TSB NO. 16-024. DEALER AND HONDA SAY THAT MY MODEL DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IS POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD.

THE BRAKES ARE GETTING LOWER EVEN WITH A FULL RESERVOIR. AFTER HONDA DEALER FLUSHED, BLEAD AND RESTORED THE BRAKE FLUID, THE VSA MODULE FAILED AND CAUSED AUTONOMOUS BRAKING AND WORSENING OF PEDAL SOFTENING AND BRAKING CONTROL ASSIST. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECALLED WITH PREVIOUS YEARS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AGAIN BY NHTSA AND HONDA. BRAKES CAME ON WHILE DRIVING CAUSING BURNING UP OF PADS AND ROTORS. VERY BAD SMELL COMING FROM BRAKE AREA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL TIRES, TIRE LINE: PROCONTACT, TIRE SIZE: 235/65/R17 N/A, DOT NUMBER: A3873VM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL BOUNCING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT TIRE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS. A CONTINENTAL TIRE DISTRIBUTOR WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 BOTH ON THE TIRE AND VEHICLE.

RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING WITH MY TWO SONS IN THE OUTWARD POSITION IN THE MIDDLE ROW, A STRANGE CLICKING CAME FROM THE DRIVER SIDE MIDDLE SEAT. MY 5 Y/O SON SAID "MY SEAT IS MOVING". THE BACK OF THE SEAT WAS NO LONGER LOCKED INTO POSITION AND WAS MOVING FREELY BACK AND FOURTH WITH MINIMAL EFFORT. WE WERE DOING NORMAL STOP AND GO, RUSH HOUR CITY DRIVING WITH NO HARD STOPS AND NO SUDDEN BRAKES. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO SAID THERE WAS A RECALL HOWEVER THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

RE: HONDA RECALL NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 17V-725 DEAR SIR/MADAM, MY HONDA 2015 ODYSSEY IS IN THE RECALL SCOPE, THE HONDA RECALL S0G WAS ANNOUNCED AT NOV.17, 2017. IT IS STILL ON INCOMPLETE AND NO MORE ACTIONS ABOUT REMEDY. I DID CALL HONDA TO ASK THE SCHEDULE, THEY RESPONDED ME THAT THERE IS NO VALID SOLUTION AND SCHEDULE ACCORDING THEIR INTERNAL COMMUNICATION. I AM DISAPPOINTED AND WORRIED ON THIS RECALL SINCE MY CHILDREN SEAT THE 2ND ROW SEATS EVERYDAY. MAY I KNOW IF THERE IS TIME CONSTRAINT TO HONDA TO CLOSE THE RECALL WITH ACTIONS? I REALLY WANT TO GET AN EXPLICIT SOLUTION AND SCHEDULE FROM HONDA TO SOLVE THE POTENTIAL RISK.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2015 HONEY ODYSSEY ON JANUARY 2, 2018. I FIRST READ OF THE ISSUE IN THIS NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. HONDA STILL HAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE AND THE FIX IS NOT TIMELY. HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR MONTHS AND YET HAD FAILED TO CORRECT THE SEATS FROM LATCHING IMPROPERLY. FURTHERMORE, THIS IS THE SECOND SEAT RELATED RECALL WE HAVE HAD SINCE WE LEASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE 2015.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO RECEIVING A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V725000 (SEATS). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. WILDE HONDA SARASOTA (7333 S TAMIAMI TRAIL, SARASOTA, FL 34231, (941) 923-3413) CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. *JS

THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIDDLE ROW SEAT'S SEAT BACK OF OUR 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY WILL NOT LOCK INTO PLACE. NO ONE CAN SIT IN THAT SEAT BECAUSE THE SEAT BACK EITHER RECLINES BACK OR FOLDS FORWARD. WHEN UNOCCUPIED AND THE CAR IS IN MOTION, IT WILL ADJUST ON ITS OWN AT TIMES (YOU HEAR THE CLICKING/GRINDING). UPON DISCOVERING THIS ISSUE IN LATE DECEMBER 2017, WE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED USING THE SEAT (DESPITE THE TREMENDOUS INCONVENIENCE THIS CAUSED TO TRANSPORTING OUR FAMILY OF 6) AND CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE (CASE NUMBER 06564580) AND WERE ADVISED THAT THE SEAT BACK ISSUE WAS NOT PART OF THE TWO OTHER RECALLS INVOLVING THE ODYSSEY'S MIDDLE ROW SEATS AND TO TAKE OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. WE REMOVED THE SEAT FROM THE VEHICLE UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT INSPECTED GIVEN OUR CONCERN FOR MIDDLE AND THIRD ROW PASSENGER SAFETY. ON JANUARY 15, 2018, THE DEALER INSPECTED THE SEAT AND FOUND THAT THE SEAT BACK ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM WAS BROKEN. WHEN I ASKED HOW THIS HAPPENED, THE SERVICE REP COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE DEFINITIVELY, BUT HE SPECULATED PERHAPS SOMEONE FORCED IT TO RECLINE OR "SOMEONE HAD A BAD DAY AT THE FACTORY." I FIND THE FORMER CAUSE SUSPECT. REGARDLESS, I QUESTION WHY A SEAT BACK IN A MOTOR VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND FORCES ASSOCIATED WITH NORMAL PASSENGER USE GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT FORCES THAT COULD OCCUR IN THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT OF A HIGH SPEED MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISON. ULTIMATELY, I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW SEAT BACK FRAME - 81726-TK8-A22 -- 530.00 - TO RENDER THE EXISTING SEAT FUNCTIONAL AGAIN. SEE ATTACHED INVOICE AND PHOTOS.

MY WIFE'S HONDA ODYSSEY, WHILE CROSSING/TURNING A CITY ROAD AT A LOW SPEED, WAS HIT (OBVIOUS FROM APPROXIMATELY 90 DEGREE ANGLE) NEAR THE FRONT BY A VOLKSWAGON BEETLE TURBO MOVING AT 35 MILES OR LESS PER HOUR. APPARENTLY, ALL THE FRONT AIRBAGS (THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ALL AIRBAGS) OF THE ODYSSEY WERE APPARENTLY EXPLOSIVELY DEPLOYED DESTROYING ALMOST THE ENTIRE FRONT UPPER INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WE SUSPECT THE AIRBAGS (WE DO NOT KNOW BUT THEY MIGHT BE FAULTY TAKARA AIRBAGS) MIGHT HAVE PREMATURELY DEPLOYED GIVEN THE LOW SPEEDS OF THE VEHICLES BEFORE THE CRASH AND MINIMAL VISIBLE BODY DAMAGES. AFTER THE ACCIDENT, VOLKSWAGON WAS PERFECTLY DRIVEABLE WITH VERY MINIMUM VISIBLE DAMAGE TO ITS FRONT AND WAS DRIVEN AWAY WITHOUT DOUBT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHETHER THE ODYSSEY AIR BAGS OR ANY OTHER MANUFACTURING DEFECTS WERE AT PLAY DURING THIS ACCIDENT. THE ODYSSEY IS CURRENTLY AT A BODYSHOP IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. INSURANCE AGENCY HAS DECIDED TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE APPARENTLY PRINCIPALLY DUE TO EXTENSIVE COST OF REPLACING ALL THE AIRBAGS AND RELATED DAMAGES. I AM THE OWNER OF THE ODYSSEY. ATTACHED ARE TWO PHOTOS. YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE AND ACTION WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

FIRE STARTED IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ENGULFED FRONT END OF VEHICLE WITHIN 10 MINS. VEHICLE HAD JUST BEEN PARKED IN DRIVEWAY OF HOME AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR. MY WIFE NOTICED THE SMELL OF SMOKE UPON EXITING VEHICLE AND WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD THERE WERE FLAMES VISIBLE AT THE BACK OF THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, A DEER APPEARED IN THE ROADWAY. TO AVOID HITTING THE DEER, THE CONTACT SWERVED TO THE RIGHT, DROVE OFF THE ROADWAY, AND CRASHED. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT WHERE IT WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,400.

ON AUGUST 20, 2017, DRIVING ON I-77 NORTH TOWARDS CHARLOTTE, NC HEARD A POP AND EXPLOSION ON TOP OF OUR VAN OUTSIDE STATESVILLE, NC. PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED OUR SUNROOF/MOONROOF WAS SHATTERED. FORTUNATELY, THE INTERIOR COVER WAS CLOSED AND DID NOT HAVE ANY GLASS FALL ON US. THAT DAY WE CONTACTED OUR CAR INSURANCE COMPANY, USAA, AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AT ABRA AUTO BODY & GLASS - INDEPENDENCE, 2033 MARGARET WALLACE ROAD, MATTHEWS, NC 28105. THE ADJUSTER, JON WULF, COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENED AND THAT THERE WAS NO ROCK FOUND WHEN THEY REPAIRED THE SUNROOF. THIS PAST WEEKEND MY WIFE, LINDA, HEARD A NEWS REPORT ON "EXPLODING SUNROOFS," AND I FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE INTERNET. I AM REPORTING OUR INCIDENT SO THAT OTHERS MAY NEVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR ON AN INTERSTATE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED BY FLYING GLASS AND COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID IT WILL TAKE A DEATH BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO PROTECT AMERICAN DRIVERS. I DO HAVE THE AUTO BODY REPORT AS PROOF THIS HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, A DEER ENTERED THE ROAD AND THE CONTACT SUDDENLY APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO AVOID HITTING THE DEER. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT AND THE CONTACT'S FACE STRUCK THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE FACE, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE LOCAL DEALER (RIVERSIDE HONDA IN MARQUETTE, 2025 US-41, MARQUETTE, MI, 49855) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD HAVE TO BE INVESTIGATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,500.

STEERING VIBRATES WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

A FEW MONTHS AFTER OUR PURCHASE THE ODYSSEY SEEMED TO JERK AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND THEN TAKING OFF (CITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC). WE MENTIONED THIS AT OUR SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NORMAL WITH THE ECO. LAST WEEK MY FAMILY HEADING OUT ON VACATION. ABOUT 6 HOURS, HIGHWAY DRIVING, INTO OUR DRIVE WE CAME UPON HEAVY TRAFFIC. WE HAD SEVERAL MILES OF STOP AND GO. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO SLAM INTO GEAR AND THEN THE VAN WOULD JERK THEN MOVE. THIS CONTINUED FROM A COMPLETE STOP TO A SLOW ROLL WHEN SHE ACCELERATED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 7 EVENTS THROUGH OUT THE CONGESTED AREA ABOUT 40 MIN. WE FINALLY CLEARED TRAFFIC AND STOPPED FOR REST AND FUEL AND CONTINUED ON. THE SYMPTOM DID NOT RETURN FOR THE REMAINDER OF OUR TRIP HOWEVER, WE DID NOT HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AS WE DID WHEN WE STARTED. I BEGAN TO RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HASN'T BE SOLVED. IT IS DIFFICULT TO REPRODUCE AND SEEMS TO RESET TO NORMAL WHEN THE VAN IS TURNED OFF. I AM HEADING TO THE DEALER TO GET OUR VAN LOOKED AT AND DOCUMENT IN THEIR SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE SUNROOF EXPLODED INTO PIECES. FORTUNATELY, OUR VISOR WAS CLOSED.

PUSH START WOULD NOT START THE ENGINE, NOR TURN ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. AFTER JUGGLING THE WHEEL, AND THE SHIFT LEVER & BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR STARTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER STATES THE COMPUTER HAS NO IN THE DTCS SYSTEM.

THE SEAT RECLINE LATCHING MECHANISM ON ONE OF THE SECOND ROW SEATS HAS FAILED AND ALLOWS THE SECOND ROW TO COLLAPSE BACK INTO THE THIRD ROW SEAT. THE LATCH WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL. THIS PUTS THE PERSON SITTING IN THE 3RD ROW AT HIGH RISK OF INJURY IF THIS OCCURS IN A REAR END COLLISION. FORTUNATELY,THIS WAS DISCOVERED WITHOUT INJURY.

LESS THAN 2 YEAR OLD HONDA ODYSSEY IN PERFECT CONDITION. FOR NO REASON CHARCOAL CANISTER SENSOR FAILED AND CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. AT THE SAME TIME TAIL LIGHT BULB IS OUT.

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.

2015 ODYSSEY VEHICLE'S JERKING EXPERIENCE STARTED DURING A STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. WITH THREE KIDS AND TWO ADULTS, WE WERE EXTREMELY FRIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DURING THE LOW SPEED, 5-20 MPH. I WENT AWAY LATER THAT DAY AND WE WENT ABOUT OUR BUSINESS. AFTER WE GO BACK TO OUR HOME, WENT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AFTER MAKING AN APPOINTMENT. OF COURSE, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE VIOLENT JERK EXPERIENCE. THEY SAID UNTIL THEY SEE IT, THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IT WAS INITIALLY AROUND 30K MILES WHEN THIS STARTED NOW OVER. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN A FEW MONTHS BUT HONDA IS NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
