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.

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.

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.

P0303 MISFIRE BURNING OIL CAUSING OIL LOSS AND MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1-3
Engine, May 15, 2019
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND CAR BEGIN MISFIRING. HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO MISFIRE FOR A FEW MILES TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. GOT CAR TO REPAIR SHIP AND THEY REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS BECAUSE THEY WERE IN BAD SHAPE AND ONE NO LONGER WORKED. THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER THAT. 4 MONTHS LATER WHILE ON HIGHWAY SAME MISFIRE HAPPENED. I TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND SAID THE O-RINGS NEED REPLACED. THEY TRIED TO GET HONDA TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY SAID IT'S THE SAME ISSUE THAT LED TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR 2011-2013 HONDA ODYSSEYS. IN THAT CASE THE "PISTON RINGS IN CERTAIN CYLINDERS MAY ROTATE AND ALIGN, LEADING TO ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AND SPARK PLUG FOULING." HONDA OF AMERICA SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH ITS THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE BRAKING AT 50+MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR OVER A YEAR. WE HAVE HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED, THE ROTORS AND BREAK PADS ARE GOOD. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY HAZARD AND HONDA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONCORD HONDA (1461 CONCORD AVE, CONCORD, CA 94520, (855) 679-6829) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED AND UPGRADED FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PAINT PEELING ON ROOF. COLOR IS WHITE PEARL ODYSSEY 2014 . I WAS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A FLUTTER AND SAW WHAT I THOUGHT WAS PAPER FLYING THROUGH MY BACK WINDOW. THE NEXT DAY I SAW THAT PAINT HAD PEELED OFF THE ROOF OF THE VAN.

OUR 2014 DIAMOND WHITE PEARL HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A FACTORY PAINT DEFECT CALLED DELAMINATION. THE PAINT STARTED PEELING OFF IN SHEETS / LARGE SECTIONS FROM THE ROOF IN JANUARY 2019 AND THEN THE TAILGATE IN FEBRUARY 2019. THE WHITE PAINT BASE COAT IS CLEANLY SEPARATING FROM THE ED PRIMER. AMERICAN HONDA USA REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM AND ACTUALLY TRYING TO STATE THIS IS OWNER WEAR & TEAR? THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT 100% AND HONDA NEEDS TO ADMIT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AFFECTING ALL NEWER WHITE HONDA'S LIKE 2016 HRV, 2015 PILOTS, FITS & ODYSSEYS, 2014 PILOTS & ODYSSEYS, 2013, 2012 ETC ETC. ANYTHING WHITE FROM HONDA AND EVEN ACURA, MADE IN THEIR USA & MEXICO FACTORIES. CBS 2 LOS ANGELES NO HAS AN OPEN AND ONGOING INVESTIGATION AS WELL: HTTPS://LOSANGELES.CBSLOCAL.COM/VIDEO/PROGRAM/1200/4059251-2-ON-YOUR-SIDE-PEELING-CAR-PAINT/ ALL WE WANT IS HONDA USA TO COVER THIS DEFECT 100%, AND IF THEY CONTINUE TO SELL THESE WHITE HONDA'S TO OWNERS NOT LETTING THEM KNOW THE PAINT WILL ONLY LAST BETWEEN 3-5 YEARS THEY ARE PRACTICING IN CONSUMER FRAUD. INDUSTRY STANDARD IS FOR A CARS PAINT TO LAST A MINIMUM OF 10 YEARS UNDER NORMAL USE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY, I HEARD A LOUD BANG, AND WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION, SAW A BOW TIE SHAPED HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MOONROOF. WHEN I HEARD THE NOISE, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH IN A LOCAL STREET IN START STOP TRAFFIC DURING THE MORNING COMMUTE. TEMPERATURES WERE MILD, AND THERE WERE NO LARGE VEHICLES OR FLYING DEBRIS AROUND THAT I NOTICED THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE HOLE. I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY FOR SAFETY REASONS AROUND MY FAMILY, AND WAS QUOTED ABOUT $900 FOR PARTS AND LABOR.

AT 26608 MILES FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED. HONDA DEALER DID THIS AT 'NO CHARGE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY.' ROTORS VIBRATED AGAIN AT 50000 MILES AND WERE REPLACED INDEPENDENTLY WITH NON HONDA PARTS. NOW AGAIN AT 70000 MILES THE VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING IS WORSE THAN EVER BEFORE. BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED AS WELL WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. WITH SO MANY OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT.

CHECK EMISSION MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. ON CHECKING THE CODES VIA OBD - IT SHOWS P3400 BANK 1 VALVE STUCK ERROR CODE POINTING TO A FAULTY OIL PRESSURE SWITCH. I CHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL USING THE DIPSTICK WHICH SHOWS THE OIL LEVELS ARE WITHIN THE LIMITS ON THE STICK. THE DASHBOARD MESSAGE (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT + CHECK EMISSIONS MSG) SUDDENLY APPEARED WHILE DRIVING ON A WARM AFTERNOON AT 45MPH (ABOUT 15 MINUTES INTO THE RIDE).

THE PAINT STARTED PEELING OFF IN THE AREA ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD IN THE 3RD YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP (HONDA OF CLEAR LAKE) DID NOT CONSIDER THAT AS WARRANTY WHEN THE ISSUE WAS POINTED OUT TO THEM. AN INDEPENDENT QUOTE FOR FIXING THE PAINT (PEARL WHITE) WAS WELL OVER $2000. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW CAR, HONDA MUST OWN UP THE ISSUE AND DO THIS PAINT RELATED FIX FREE OF CHARGE, ON DOING A SEARCH ON ODYSSEY OWNERS FORA, I NOTED THAT THERE ARE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE MODEL.
Service brakes, Mar 25, 2019
WE HAVE HAD ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH OUR ROTORS. THEY HAD TO BE MACHINED AFTER ONLY 15,000 MILES AND REPLACE AFTER 30,000 MILES. WE REPLACED THEM WITH HIGH END NAPA ROTORS SINCE WE DID NOT TRUST HONDA ROTORS AND HONDA REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM. NOW AT 54,000 MILES, THE BRAKES ARE SHIMMYING AGAIN.

TRANSMISSION SHAKES, JUDDERS ABOUT 20MPH THRU ABOUT 50MPH. TRANSMISSION JERKS AND LUNGS. I HAVE SEEN COUNTLESS OTHER COMPLAINTS *ALL THE SAME* THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED.

MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY MOST NOTABLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS VERY COLD BELOW 30 DEGREES AND FIRST THING IN THE AM. DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IT'S AS IF I'M STUCK IN FIRST GEAR AND THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SHIFTS AND IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE AS IF THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKS VERY LOUD & THEN THE CAR JERKS FORWARD FROM THE CAR SHIFTING. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WHEN MY CAR WAS VERY NEW WITHIN THE FIRST 1-2 YEARS. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET IT TO 'THROW A CODE' FOR THEM. I EVEN LEFT IT THERE OVERNIGHT SO THAT THEY COULD DRIVE THE CAR COLD IN THE MORNING AND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN FOR THEM. IT IS VERY RANDOM WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN? AFTER READING MANY HONDA ODYSSEY ONLINE CHATS EVERYONE SAYS IT'S THE COMPUTER AND YOU HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT TO RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS HAS SEEMED TO WORK AND STOPS THE JERKY SHIFTING FOR THE TIME BEING. SO NOW WHEN MY CAR STARTS JERKING ME DOWN THE ROAD AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT I HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMEWHERE SAFE AND TURN THE CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE AND RESTART IT. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THERE WOULD BE A RECALL BY NOW BUT I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE REPORTED IT EARLIER. TO SUM IT UP THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTERIZED SHIFTING MECHANISM THAT FOR SOME REASON WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE KEEPS THE CAR IN LOW GEARS. I HAVE HAD MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EVERY TIME I'VE HAD MY TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGED THEY COMMENT ON HOW DIRTY IT IS? I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND NO ONE CAN SOLVE IT?

BOTH AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS FAILED. WHEN OPENED MANUALLY, THE DRIVES SIDE SLIDING DOOR COMPLETELY POPPED OUT AND FELL OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING GARAGE AND HAD NOT BEEN USED FOR 8 DAYS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COMPONENT BROKE TO CAUSE THIS. ATTACHED PICTURE IS OUR BEST ATTEMPT TO PUT THE DOOR BACK ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE SPEED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN DRIVEN TO WALDORF HONDA (2450 CRAIN HWY, WALDORF, 20301). THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. INITIALLY, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE COVERED, BUT LATER STATED THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.
Service brakes, Feb 28, 2019
BRAKE ROTORS - DO I REALLY NEED TO GO INTO DETAIL? 54,000 MILES AND FRONT ROTORS HAVE BEEN RESURFACED TWICE AND NOW THE REAR NEED IT AS WELL. SEVERE SHIMMYING/VIBRATION DURING BRAKING. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAUSES INCONSISTENT REACTION FORCES BETWEEN THE TIRE AND ROAD SURFACE THAT COULD CAUSE UNPREDICTABLE VEHICLE RESPONSE! DOES A CHILD NEED TO LOOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED? DOES ANYONE READ THESE COMPLAINTS? IS HONDA DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? HOW HAS THE NHTSA NOT PERFORMED AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS? COME GET MY VAN AND TRY IT OUT!
Seat belts, Other or unspecified, Feb 18, 2019
THE "STANDARD SEAT ASSEMBLY" AS DEFINED BY FIG-1A OF FMVSS 213 DEFINES SEAT/SEAT-BELT GEOMETRY SUCH THAT A SEATBELT BUCKLE SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND175MM (~6IN) FROM THE SEAT BIGHT. THE STANDARD SEEMS TO ALLOW CAR MANUFACTURERS TO UTILIZE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES ANYWHERE IN THE 0 TO 175MM RANGE FROM THE BIGHT. A BIGHT-TO-BUCKLE (B2B) DISTANCE OF 175MM MAKES IT DIFFICULT (OR IMPOSSIBLE) TO PROPERLY SECURE CHILD CAR SEATS, USING THE VEHICLE'S SEAT BELT, IF THE CHILD SEAT DEPTH IS SHALLOWER THAN 175MM. THIS HYPOTHESIS WAS DEVELOPED AFTER I WAS UNABLE TO PROPERLY SECURE A DIONO RADIAN RXT CAR SEAT (FORWARD FACING MODE) IN MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE BUCKLES IN THE HONDA (SEE ATTACHED) APPEAR TO BE CLOSE TO THE 175MM THRESHOLD. HOWEVER, I WAS ABLE TO SECURE THE SAME DIONO SEAT IN MY 2007 AUDI A6 BECAUSE THE AUDI'S BUCKLES ARE FLUSH MOUNTED IN THE SEAT CUSHION (I.E. B2B OF ~0MM). I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS A "HONDA" PROBLEM, BUT A PROBLEM WITH THE LACK OF SPECIFICITY OF FMVSS-213 WRT HOW CHILD SEATS ARE TO BE TESTED. FMVSS 213 S6.1.2 SIMPLY STATES THAT THE "STANDARD SEAT ASSEMBLY" IS TO BE USED, AND MAKES NO MENTION OF ENSURING COMPATIBILITY OF FIT THROUGHOUT THE B2B RANGE. THE DIONO MANUAL (SEE PG-19, ATTACHED) INDICATES THAT THEIR SEATS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH "...ANCHOR POINTS FORWARD OF THE SEAT CREASE." I REVIEWED OTHER CHILD CAR SEAT MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTION MANUALS AND FOUND SIMILAR WARNINGS. WHILE THE HONDA SEAT BELTS CONTAIN FMVSS-209 CERTIFICATION TAGS, AND THE DIONO IS LABELED WITH FMVSS-213 TAGS, I BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO STANDARDS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. RECOMMENDATIONS: (1)UPDATE "STANDARD SEAT ASSEMBLY" OF FMVSS-213 SUCH THAT B2B IS EXPLICITLY FIXED AT 175MM OR (2) FMVSS-209 MUST RESTRICT B2B< 25MM. FMVSS-209 S4.1.E ONLY SPECIFIES, "...BUCKLE OR BUCKLES READILY ACCESSIBLE TO THE OCCUPANT TO PERMIT HIS EASY & RAPID REMOVAL..."

WENT TO START THE THE VAN WOULDN'T START. PUSHED THE PUSH START AGAIN IT STARTED. GOT 10 MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 30 MPH AND FELT A HARD JERK AND IT SHOOK A FEW TIMES AND THE STARTED IDLING HARD AND JERKED FORWARD . SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING WAS GOING TO FALL OUT THE BOTTOM OF IT.NO SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON. THEN GOT TO WORK SHUT IT OFF WHEN BACK OUT 10 MIN LATER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE FCW LIGHT WAS ON FELT LIKE IT WAS STILL IDELING HARD. LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. WONDER WHY HONDA IS NOT RECALLING THEM. I HAVE 61,300 MILES ON MINE. SO HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES A CAR COMPANY HAVE TO HAVE TO ISSUE A RECALL. THESE ARE NOT INEXPENSIVE VEHICLES. MAY HAVE TO LOOK INTO AN ATTORNEY. I CAN SEE WHERE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE SUNROOF IN MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY EXPLODED. I HAVE TRAVELED THIS ROAD MANY TIMES, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH MILD TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT TRAFFIC. I BOUGHT THIS ODYSSEY NEW. IT CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 69,000 MILES ON IT. THERE WERE NO HOMES, BUSINESSES, PARKING LOTS, OR ANYTHING OF THE KIND AROUND ME. NO OVERPASSES, POWER LINES OR OTHERWISE. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THE EXPLOSION. I HEARD A LOUD POP THAT I THOUGHT WAS A GUNSHOT OR LARGE SOMETHING HITTING MY CAR. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED ON MY HAZARDS, AND FELT SOMETHING HIT MY ARM. I LOOKED UP TO SEE THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE. AFTER READING ONLINE THAT MANY OTHERS HAD HAD SIMILAR EXPERIENCES I FELT LIKE I NEEDED TO REPORT IT IN HOPES THAT OTHERS MIGHT NOT HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME SCARY EXPERIENCE (WHICH COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH WORSE), INCONVENIENCE, AND EXPENSE.

MY COMPLAINT HAS TO DO WITH LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR AND TIRE PRESSURE (TPMS) MONITOR. THE EXPERIENCE WE HAVE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IS THAT IF THE FORMER LIGHT APPEARS AND YOU REPLACE THE AFFECTED TIRE WITH A SPARE TIRE, THE LATTER LIGHT (TPMS) WILL APPEAR IT WILL DISABLE THE PART. ONCE THE SPARE IS REPLACE WITH A NEW TIRE, THE FORMER LIGHT COMES BACK AND STAYS ON UNTIL THE PART IS REPLACED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO US TWICE. HONDA WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE PART OR LABOR TO REPLACE IT.

MY SLIDING DOORS DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY AND NOT EVEN SURE IF THEY ARE LATCHING PROPERLY. THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRIC ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HONDA IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS IT, THERE IS NUMEROUS PLACES ON THE INTERNET OF THE SAME DOOR ISSUES!!! GIVE A PLACE TO SEND VIDEOS, I HAVE ABOUT 10 I CAN SEND WHERE YOU CAN CLEAR SEE THAT THE DOORS AND ELECTRICAL ARE NOT WORKING. ALSO SINCE THIS IS ELECTRICAL I AM ON MY 3RD BATTERY FOR THIS 2014 VEHICLE, IF YOU TEST THE BATTERY WHILE IN CAR IT WILL TEST AT ABOUT 1300+ CRANKING AMPS, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT EXPLAIN. TAKE THE BATTERY OF OF THE CAR AND IT TESTS CORRECTLY AND BY MORE COMPANY.. CLEARLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT OPEN UNDER POWER OF THE CAR OFTEN, IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO THE DOOR, SWITCHES, OR THE KEY FAB. I DO HAVE YOUNGER CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
