Seats, mid/rear assemblyMar 13, 2018
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The second row outboard seats have a lever to fold the seatback and slide the seat forward to access the third row seats. Due to a manufacturing error, if the walk-in release lever is used to fold a fully reclined left outboard seatback forward, the seatback may stay in the unlocked position (free-folding) or unexpectedly unlock without engaging the walk-in or recliner lever.
An unlocked second row left outboard seatback increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will confirm proper operation of the second row left outboard seatback, and install a support bracket to the seat recliner. If the seatback cannot lock, dealers will replace the seatback frame assembly. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began May 7, 2018. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is X0R.

2014 HONDA ODYSSEY, PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT, RANDOMLY OPENS ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOM. I KNOW IF THE REMOTE UNLOCK BUTTON IS HELD DOWN, ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOM WILL OPEN, BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO ONE TOUCHING THE BUTTON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 30 TIMES NOW, I GO OUT TO MY VAN AND EVERYTHING IS OPENED UP. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES NOW WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN CAUSING WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

I HAVE A PEARL WHITE 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE PAINT IS PEELING UNDER THE BACK GLASS WINDOW NEAR THE WIPER BLADES, DUE TO MANUFACTURE POOR JOB OF PAINTING . THIS WAS REPORTED FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND COLOR. THIS US A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM SINCE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND FRUSTRATED THAT IT'S NOT TAKEN CARE BY HONDA. I'VE TRIED BACK IN MAY 2020 WITH AN EMAIL TO HONDA AND ASKED TO TAKE A LOOK BUT WAS NEVER CALLED BACK. I DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN BC OF COVID 19. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I HAVE A 2004 PILOT, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH PAINT PEELING FOR NO REASON . *TR

A FEW YEARS AGO, THE HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 WAS MAKING SHIFTING NOISES AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. HONDA SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR FREE. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO (ABOUT 85,000-125,000) IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ENGINE BREAK WHEN COASTING DOWN FROM SPEED (LIKE THE ENGINE WAS SHIFTING DOWN AND SLOWING THE CAR). TODAY (APRIL 17, 2020) IT BEGAN TO BUCK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SHIFTED WITH MORE BUCKING WHEN STARTING BACK UP FROM A STOP. SEEMS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY

WHILE DRIVING, I WAS INTERMITTENTLY USING THE SEAT WARMERS (TOGGLING BETWEEN THE HIGH, LOW, AND OFF SETTINGS.) UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE BACK OF MY LEGS FELT VERY SORE AND IRRITATED. THE NEXT MORNING, IT WAS EVIDENT I HAD SECOND DEGREE BURNS, WHICH WAS CONFIRMED 2 DAYS LATER BY A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, WHO TREATED ME FOR THE BURNS.

(2014 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L). ON FRI, 02-21-2020, 3:47PM, I WAS SLOWING TO STOP AT INTERSECTION. BEFORE COMING TO COMPLETE STOP, ENGINE BEGAN TO SHUDDER, BUT DID NOT COMPLETELY STALL/STOP, AND THE MIL INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHUDDER WHILE IDLING AT COMPLETE STOP. I GENTLY APPLIED ACCELERATION TO 10-MPH. ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHUDDER AS I CONTINUED AND STOPPED AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT. AGAIN I GENTLY APPLIED ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SHUDDER UNTIL I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PARK AND SWITCHED IT OFF. THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AT A CONSISTENT LEVEL FOR A TOTAL OF ABOUT 8-MINUTES. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE DEPT TO ASK ABOUT POSSIBLE CAUSES AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THE SERVICE REP ASKED ME ABOUT A PREVIOUS REPAIR NOTED ON HIS COMPUTER FOR AN ISSUE THE VAN HAD REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF AN OIL SENSOR IN OCTOBER 2019, AND IF IT WAS RELATED. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T KNOW. SINCE HE COULDN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, HE ADVISED ME NOT TO START THE ENGINE AND DRIVE BECAUSE IT COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE MORE DAMAGE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THEN I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND MY VAN WAS TAKEN TO MY HONDA SERVICE DEPT. ON THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, A SERVICE REP CALLED ME WITH THE DIAGNOSIS CODE P0303, WHICH HE SAID INDICATES THAT A MISFIRE WAS DETECTED IN THE #3 CYLINDER. THE REP SAID THAT THIS ISSUE ALLOWED OIL TO PASS BY THE MULTIPLE OIL RINGS ON THE PISTON INTO THE CHAMBER AND FOULED THE SPARK PLUG. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE SERVICE REP QUOTED $4,420.00 TO REPAIR OBDII CODE P0303. I ASKED HIM IF THE MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A RESULT OF ANY DRIVER ACTION OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE. HE SAID THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I SHOULD CALL AMERICAN HONDA AUTOMOBILES (800-999-1009).

PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE TOP OF VEHICLE
Other or unspecified, Feb 7, 2020
PAINT PEELING OFF THE TAILGATE WHILE IN MOTION ON A SUBURBAN STREET. THE PAINT THAT DELAMINATED ENDED UP ON THE BACK WINDOW WHILE DRIVING, BLOCKING SOME OF THE WINDOW ABOVE THE TAILGATE. HAD TO PULL OVER AND PEEL OFF THE WINDOW. IT WASN'T A LARGE BLOCKAGE BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO NOTICE AND SURPRISING. I WISH I HAD GOTTEN A PHOTO OF THE PAINT ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT DIDN'T THINK TO DO THAT. WAS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THE PAINT PEELING ISSUE BUT WILL NOT DISCUSS IT AND REFERRED TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAYS IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE BUT HONDA WILL NOT FIX DUE TO VIN NOT BEING ELIGIBLE IN THEIR DATABASE. WHY IT'S NOT ELIGIBLE, SINCE IT'S THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR AND PAINT COLOR AS ALL THE OTHER ODYSSEYS WITH THIS ISSUE, I DO NOT KNOW.

I WAS DRIVING MY ODESSEY HOME FROM WORK IN AVERAGE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. 30 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING WORK, I CAME TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I ACCELERATED UPON THE LIGHT TURNING GREEN MY VAN SHUDDERED/JERKED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS BETWEEN 15 & 20 MPH. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FLUKE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. THEN I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP AT A SECOND STOP LIGHT, NOT FIVE MINUTES LATER, AND AGAIN WHEN ACCELERATING IT REPEATED THE SHUDDER/JERK UPON SHIFTING BETWEEN 15-20MPH. I THEN CONTINUED ANOTHER 20-30 MINUTES HOME AND THE ISSUE REPEATED EVERY TIME I HAD TO SLOW MY SPEED BELOW 20MPH IT SHUDDERED/JERKED UPON ACCELERATING. I MADE IT HOME, DID NOT TURN OFF THE VAN, MY HUSBAND GOT IN AND DROVE IT TO A LOCAL SHOP ABOUT 5MIN DOWN THE ROAD AND EXPERIENCED ROUGH SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO DRIVE AND THE CONTINUED ISSUE OF ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN 15-20MPH. AT OUR ARRIVAL TO THE SHOP HE TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN RESTARTED IT AND WE RETURNED HOME. ON THIS RETURN TRIP AND THE NEXT DAY ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK THERE ARE NO FURTHER ISSUES OF ROUGH SHIFTING OR JERKING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO CAUSE THIS TO START AND OTHER THAN TURNING OFF THE VAN AND RESTARTING IT, NOTHING WAS DONE TO REMEDY IT EITHER. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO A SERVICE CENTER, BECAUSE THE ISSUE CAN NOT BE REPLICATED AT THIS TIME.

2014 HONDA ODYSSEY WHICH IS EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY WHERE PISTON RING 1 -4 WITH LEAK OIL AND FOUL THE SPARK PLUGS. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE ENGINE MISFIRES AND VIBRATES SIGNIFICANTLY AND REDUCES DRIVABILITY. DUE TO THE WARRANTY EXTENSION ON PRIOR YEARS THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT FOR THIS MODEL AND ENGINE BUT NOT FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. WHEN THE ISSUE HAS MANIFESTED IT HAS BEEN WHEN DRIVING BOTH TIMES HAS BEEN ON A CITY STREET. ESTIMATES FOR REPAIR ARE $4,200.

PARKED ON A VERY HOT DAY IN A PARKING LOT THE ELECTRIC DOORS WON'T OPEN. IF I DRIVE THE VAN FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND STOP, THE DOORS WILL WORK. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. HONDA CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ON THE INTERNET, OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR HONDA VEHICLES. ONE PERSON WROTE THAT HE REPLACED THE POWER ON OFF SWITCH ON THE DASH THAT CONTROLS THE DOORS EVEN THOUGH HIS VEHICLE SHOWED NO COMPUTER CODE ERRORS. HE SAID THAT SO FAR IT SOLVED HIS PROBLEM. HONDA ONLY LOOKS FOR COMPUTER CODE ERROR AND IF THERE IS NO ERROR, THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM.
