Seats, mid/rear assemblyNov 17, 2017
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The second row outboard seats can slide sideways to one of two positions. If a seat is placed between either of the two positions when attaching the seat to the vehicle floor, the seat will not latch properly to the seat striker, allowing the seat to tip forward unexpectedly during braking.
If the seat tips forward during braking, it can increase the risk of injury.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket to the second row outboard floor strikers, free of charge. The recall began April 2, 2018. Owners may contact American Honda Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is S0G.

Seats, mid/rear assemblyDec 27, 2016
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Odyssey vehicles manufactured August 17, 2010, to October 1, 2015. The affected vehicles have second row outboard seats that have a release lever that allows the seats to move for easier access to the third row of seats. This release lever may remain in the unlocked position allowing the seats to move unexpectedly.
An unlocked second row outboard seat increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional bracket and spring to both second row outboard seats, free of charge. Interim letter has been mailed, and a second notification will be sent . Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is KD5.

BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CONTINUALLY LIGHTS. DEALER INDICATES THAT WE NEED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE MORE. ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF. DEALER HAS BEEN USELESS. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. (GOOGLE "HONDA ODYSSEY 2011 LOW BATTERY INDICATOR PROBLEM" TO SEE THE THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THIS PROBLEM.) STAY AWAY FROM HONDA. *TR

BOUGHT A 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING ELITE IN 3/2011. NOW 4 MONTHS LATER I AM GETTING THE "BATTERY CHARGE LOW" WARNING. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE TO THEM. THEY STATE IT'S NOT A PROBLEM AND I NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE. IT IS CONCERNING THAT THE CAR SHUTS THE DOME LIGHTS OFF, EVEN THE DASH LIGHTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS IS A SUPPOSED SAFETY ITEM OF THE CAR THAT I AM TO IGNORE? I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED REGARDING THIS ISSUE. FIRST, HONDA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS -- "IGNORE IT. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM." SECOND, THIS ISSUE, I FEEL, IS POTENTIALLY PLACING MY FAMILY IN DANGER IF THE BATTERY CANNOT STAY CHARGED. FINALLY, THIS IS NOT AN INFREQUENT ISSUE AS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF POSTS/COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND OTHER FORUMS ON THE WEB (WWW.ODYCLUB.COM) YET HONDA CONTINUES NOT TO PUT OUT A TSB REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. THE COMPLAINTS CONTINUE AND NO ACTION IS BEING TAKEN BY HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS REMINISCENT OF TOYOTA STATING THERE WASN'T AN ACCELERATOR PEDAL ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT, AND IT SEEMS THE LOWLY CONSUMER IS NOT MAKING IT HAPPEN. *KB

BATT LO WARNING COMES ON FROM TIME TO TIME IN OUR 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERS TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM, ONE TIME FOR 2 DAYS WITH NOTHING MORE FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER "TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE TO KEEP THE BATTERY CHARGED UP" THIS IS NOT A FIX, IT IS ONLY A BAND AID. HONDA OF AMERICA SERVICE REP I TALKED WITH WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. I TOLD HIM THE WIFE IS WORRIED THAT IF IT IS REAL AND IGNORED SHE MAY BE LEFT STRANDED WHICH COULD BE A DANGER TO HER IN THESE TIMES. HONDA HAS SENT A "SERVICE NEWS ARTICLE" TO THEIR DEALERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT AGAIN THEIR COMMENT TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS TO CHARGE THE BATTERY AND MOMENTARILY DISCONNECT THE BATTERY SENSOR FOR 10 SEC, AND AGAIN THIS WAS DONE TO OUR VEHICLE AND WAS ONLY A SHORT TERM FIX., WITHIN DAYS IT WAS DOING IT AGAIN. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND GET THIS GENERIC PROBLEM FIXED. *TT

2011 HONDA ODYSSEY EL. ON THE INFORMATIONAL DISPLAY THE BATTERY CHARGE LOW WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THE SECOND TIME IN APPROXIMATELY 45 DAYS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO RESET THE SENSOR. HE TOLD ME THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO DO THE SAME THING. IT BOTHERS ME THAT I HAVE TO DISABLE A SAFETY FEATURE FOR THIS VEHICLE IN ORDER TO USE IT IN THE MANNER THAT IT WAS INTENDED. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY WIFE WILL BE LEFT STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY. *TR

THIS LITTLE YELLOW ALARM MESSAGE FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD: "BATTERY CHARGE LOW - SWITCH OFF ALL LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL DEVICES" AND THEN IT SHUTS EVERYTHING OFF...OVERHEAD LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS - THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT LIGHT CAN BE ON AND WE CAN DRIVE CLEAR TO TACOMA BEFORE IT GOES OFF. WE CAN HAVE JUST RETURNED HOME AFTER A TRIP TO MONROE (ALMOST 100 MILES) AND WE WILL GET THAT MESSAGE AND - AGAIN - IT WILL SHUT EVERYTHING OFF. THE CAR HAS NOT SHUT DOWN WHILE WE ARE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD - BUT IT IS FRIGHTENING TO SEE THAT MESSAGE WHEN WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. I CAN GO BY THE CAR WHEN IT IS IN THE GARAGE AND SHUT OFF AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I WILL HEAR THE BEEPING AND THEN I WILL SEE THE ALARM MESSAGE FLASHING IN THE CAR. THE CAR IS OFF! NO ONE TOUCHED THE CAR - BUT IT STARTS FLASHING! THEY KEEP TELLING US WE NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE....BUT COME ON - IT IS 95 MILES TO MONROE! *TR

SINCE TAKING DELIVERY OF MY 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY IT HAS HAD A FAULTY BATTERY SENSOR, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. THE SENSOR FALSELY REPORTS THAT THE BATTERY IS LOW AND DISABLES SOME OF THE ONBOARD EQUIPMENT INCLUDING INTERIOR LIGHTS AND PATHWAY LIGHTS LEAVING CAR IN THE DARK. *TR

I HAD BROUGHT MY 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY IN FOR SERVICE ON 05/13/11 AT 10:08 AM BECAUSE OF A "LOW BATTERY WARNING LIGHT" THAT COMES ON WHENEVER ANY DOOR IS OPEN. I HAD PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 03/14/2011 FROM STOCKTON HONDA. THE VIN IS [XXX]. MY VAN IS LESS THAN 3 MONTHS OLD WITH LESS THAN 3,000 MILES. THE ?LOW BATTERY WARNING LIGHT? SHOULD NOT COME ON BECAUSE THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. WHEN THE ?LOW BATTERY WARNING LIGHT? COMES ON, ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN I COME HOME IN THE EVENING AND MY CHILDREN CANNOT SEE WHERE THEY ARE WALKING TO GET OUT OF THE VAN. EVERY NIGHT WHEN I COME HOME WITH MY CHILDREN, I HAVE TO GO INSIDE MY HOME FIRST TO GET A FLASH LIGHT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE LIGHTING FOR MY CHILDREN TO SEE WHERE THEY ARE WALKING TO HELP GUIDE THEM OUT OF THE VAN SAFELY. I HAD CALLED AMERICAN HONDA TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND SO FAR, I HAD BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. HONDA IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUES. I HAD RESEARCH ON SEVERAL ONLINE HONDA FORUMS AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNER THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. AMERICAN HONDA HAD FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE BATTERY SENSOR IS TOO SENSITIVE AND I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] THAT SHE IS TRYING TO SEND OUT AN UPDATE BATTERY SENSOR TO SERRAMONTE HONDA TO REPAIR MY VAN BY 05/31/2011. AS OF 06/03/2011, [XXX] HAD FAILED TO SEND OUT ANY PART AND JUST KEEP PUTTING ME OFF AND GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR HONDA TO ADMIT THAT THEY HAD MADE A MISTAKE AND JUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR PRODUCTS? CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW STATES THAT IF THE MANUFACTURER HAD FAILED TO REPAIR THE ISSUES AFTER REASONABLE AMOUNT OF ATTEMPTS, THEN THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRE TO REFUNDING THE PURCHASE PRICE OR REPLACING THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO HELP RECTIFY THIS MATTER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SETS OFF AN ALARM (BATTERY CHARGE LOW) ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN NOV 2010. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PROPERLY AND MAY CAUSE ME TO BE STRANDED WITH A DEAD BATTERY WITH NORMAL DRIVING AND USAGE. HONDA INDICATES THE CAR NEEDS TO BE 'DRIVEN LONGER' IN ORDER TO AVOID THE ERROR. I CONTINUE TO SEE THE ERROR EVEN AFTER DRIVING FOR 40+ MINUTES, WHICH SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TIME TO CHARGE THE BATTERY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THIS ERROR OCCURS IT SHUTS OFF ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS IN THE VAN, WHICH IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE NO INTERIOR LIGHTS WHEN I AM TRYING TO LOAD MY CHILDREN IN THEIR CAR SEATS AT NIGHT. *TR

A WARNING MESSAGE STATING "BATTERY CHARGE LOW" REPEATEDLY COMES ON IN THE INFORMATION DISPLAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURER. THERE IS ALSO AN UNUSUAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING AND SUSPENSION WHENEVER MAKING A 90 DEGREE RIGHT TURN.

LOW BATTERY WARNING LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME WE GET INTO OR OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES TO HAVE THEM FIX IT AND THEY TELL ME TO DRIVE IT MORE. I HAVE CHARGED THE BATTERY AT LEAST 5 TIMES MYSELF AND THE WARNING WILL ALWAYS RETURN. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF WITH THE WARNING MAKING IT VERY HARD AND UNSAFE TO LOAD SMALL CHILDREN INTO THE VEHICLE. HONDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS EITHER A LOW BATTERY CONDITION OR A FALSE WARNING. *TR

MY WIFE DRIVES THE KIDS TO AND FROM SCHOOL A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY. EVERYTIME SHE GETS HOME THE "BATT LOW SEE MANUAL" MESSAGE COMES UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL. I THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE YOU HAVE HERE IS FALSE ALARMS. HOW DO I KNOW WHEN/IF MY BATTERY IS EVER LOW IF THIS MESSAGE COMES ON ALL THE TIME? THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING TO HAVE HAPPEN. *TR

A "BATT LOW SEE MANUAL" LIGHT AND WARNING BEEP OCCURS ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2011 SINCE PURCHASE. MY HONDA DEALER HAS CHARGED THE BATTERY AND CHECKED THE SOFTWARE WITHOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO REPORTED TO HONDA HEADQUARTERS. HONDA HAS NOT FIXED THIS PROBLEM. THE ODYCLUB AND EDMUNDS TOWNHALL FORUMS ARE FULL OF OTHERS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. HONDA'S RECOMMENDATION IS SIMPLY TO DRIVE THE VAN MORE RATHER THAN FIND A RESOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

"BATTERY LOW" WARNING COMES ON REPEATEDLY. BATTERY VOLTAGE CHECKED AND WAS NORMAL. BOARD LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON WHILE THE "BATTERY LOW" MESSAGE IS ON - CAUSING A HAZARD (HAVING TO MOVE AROUND PACKAGE AND PERSONNEL IN TOTALLY DARK VEHICLE INTERIOR).

I BOUGHT A 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY EX IN FEBRUARY. AFTER 500 MILES ONE DAY AFTER COMPLETELY NORMAL ROUTINE DRIVING, THE LOW BATTERY LIGHT AND WARNING BELL CAME ON. CALLED DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WARNING WENT OFF AFTER 30 MINS OF DRIVING, BUT THEN CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. WENT TO DEALER WHO TESTED BATTERY. BATTERY WAS OVER 600 CCA, WHEN ONLY REQUIRES 550, SO CLEARLY A FALSE ALARM. THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN ADVISE CUSTOMERS TO NOT USE TOO MANY ELECTRONICS; ALL WE HAD ON THE DAYS THIS HAPPENED WAS THE ENGINE AND THE RADIO. THIS IS AN ISSUE NEEDING RESOLUTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE KEY WAS IN THE IGNITION THE ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHT IMMEDIATELY ILLUMINATED INFORMING THE CONTACT TO SHUT OFF ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO TURN OFF ALL OF THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH INDICATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT NEEDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE MORE OFTEN. ALTHOUGH THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE MORE FREQUENTLY THE ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE COULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.
