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.

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.

AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY - MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH THE VAN'S REAR SUSPENSION, RESULTING IN THE VAN'S ALIGNMENTS BEING UNCORRECTABLE SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. AMERICAN HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION DEFECT ISSUE WITH THE 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY'S AND HAS CHOSEN TO HIDE THE DESIGN DEFECT FROM THE PUBLIC. HONDA DEALERS KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE BUT THERE ARE NO AUTHORIZE AMERICAN HONDA OEM CERTIFIED FIXES TO THE PROBLEM. THE HONDA DEALERS DEFER, THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL HONDA ISSUES A FIX TO THE SUSPENSION/ALIGNMENT ISSUE. THE RESULT, UNSAFE VEHICLE AND THE ADDED CONTINUAL EXPENSES THAT ARE A DIRECT RESULT OF AMERICAN HONDA'S CONCEALMENT OF THE ISSUES WITH THE VANS. QUICK SEARCHES ONLINE, DOCUMENT MANY OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS WITH REPORTED IDENTICAL ISSUES, AS WELL AS OTHER HONDA OWNERS (KEEGAN V. AMERICAN HONDA ' CLASS ACTION CERTIFIED). AMERICAN HONDA'S OWN ACTIONS CONFIRM AND INDICATED THAT THEY RECOGNIZED AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUES I PRESENTED WITH THE VAN AND MY CLAIM. AMERICAN HONDA DIRECTED ME TO BRING THE VAN TO A HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION ' AUTOPARK HONDA. THE VAN WAS REVIEWED, DETERMINED DEFECTIVE, AND UNFIXABLE WITH ANY READILY AVAILABLE OEM HONDA PARTS AS VERIFIED BY A RECOGNIZED HONDA CERTIFIED ASE MASTER MECHANIC. IF THE VAN WAS MANUFACTURED TO AMERICAN HONDA'S OWN OEM SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS, THEN ANY OEM HONDA PARTS WOULD READILY BE ABLE TO BE REPLACED WITH THE DEFECTIVE OEM REAR SUSPENSION PARTS AND CORRECT THE ALIGNMENT ISSUES AT ONCE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. THE VEHICLE BY AMERICAN HONDA'S OWN ADMISSION IS NOT FIXABLE WITH ANY OEM HONDA PARTS. AMERICAN HONDA'S OWN FINDINGS CONFIRM, VALIDATE, VERIFY AND SUPPORT THE FACTS THAT THE VANS INHERENT MANUFACTURER'S DEFECTS EXISTS IN THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE VAN AND VALIDATES MY INITIAL AND OPEN CLAIM SINCE 6-7-14 INV HOCS332080, AT 317 MILES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 55 MPH, I HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND A HISSING WIND SOUND COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. IT FELT LIKE THE WINDSHIELD WAS BEING PULLED UP AND YOU COULD SEE THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD MOLDING FLAPPING IN THE WIND. ALSO, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR SIDE WINDOW WAS MOVING BACK AND FORTH HITTING THE WINDOW FRAME.

2 POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES OCCURRING AT 55000 MILES OR LESS WITH NO RECALL FROM HONDA: TRANSMISSION JERKING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WARPED BRAKE ROTORS AT LOW MILEAGE: ISSUE 1: WHEN TRAVELING UP A HILL (SMALL TO MODERATE GRADE) THE VAN HAS A JERKING MOTION AND THE NEEDLE ON THE ODOMETER BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH ABOUT 200 RPMS WITH THE FOOT STEADY ON THE GAS PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR QUITE SOME TIME ON HILLS BUT NOW AT 55000 MILES THE VAN IS DOING IT ON A LEVEL SERVICE WHILE IN 2ND GEAR (OR WHEN TRANSITIONING TO 2ND FROM 1ST). AGAIN THE FOOT IS STEADY ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE VAN JERKS WITH THE NEEDLE BOUNCING ON THE ODOMETER A FEW HUNDRED RPMS BACK AND FORTH FOR A SHORT BIT UNTIL INTO 3RD GEAR. I READ OF A TSB 16-060 THAT THE CAUSE IS IMPROPER HEATING OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE SHORT-TERM FIX IS TO DRAIN AND FILL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHILE A FUTURE FIX IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT IS NOT YET COMPLETED. ISSUE 2: WHEN BRAKING THERE IS VIOLENT VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE BUT WHILE STILL UNDER THE 3 YEAR/36000 MILE WARRANTY, THEY TURNED THE ROTORS WHICH CAUSED THE VIBRATIONS TO GO AWAY. NOW AT 55000 MILES THE VAN IS AGAIN HAVING VIOLENT VIBRATIONS WHILE BRAKING. THE ROTORS SHOULD NOT WARP SO FAST, WITH LOW MILEAGE.

WE HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUES, BEGINNING AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES WITH A NOTICEABLE JUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 117,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP THIS PROBLEM ON AVERAGE ABOUT 10,000 MILES AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE. THIS COINCIDES WITH NHTSA REFERENCE #10084801. AS OF YET, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY RESOLUTION TO THE TSB, AND I AM GROWING FRUSTRATED BY THE SUGGESTED "SOLUTION" OF TRIPLE CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY TIME THE SYMPTOMS SURFACE EVERY 10-15,000 MILES.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. IT CONSTANTLY RE-OPENS AFTER PRESSING THE CLOSE BUTTON OR USING THE HANDLE AND MUST BE FORCED CLOSED MANUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH TIME. WE TRY TO NOT USE THAT DOOR WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THAT IS THE DOOR CLOSEST TO ME FOR MY CHILDREN TO USE. AND THE OTHER DAY WHEN MY DAUGHTER ACCIDENTALLY FORGOT AND USED THAT DOOR, I SHUT IT AND WE WENT ON TO OUR ERRANDS, WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE VAN THE DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN, OBVIOUSLY IT AUTOMATICALLY OPENED AS WE LEFT. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. AT 4 YEARS OLD THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. MY LAST HONDA ODDESSEY WAS A 2009, IT DID THE SAME THING, AAA HAD TO COME ONE DAY WHILE I WAS STUCK AT THE GYM AND COULD NOT GET IT TO CLOSE. THEY HAD TO CUT THE WIRES ON THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT. NOW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY A RECALL.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT OR FROM A SITUATION SUCH AS SLOWED TRAFFIC IN A STOP AND GO SETTING, VEHICLE REGULARLY LURCHES AND TRANSMISSION HESITATES BEFORE LOCKING INTO CORRECT GEAR AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATING FORWARD. IT SEEMS AS IF THE COMPUTER IS SEARCHING FOR CORRECT GEAR, BUT HESITATES WAY TOO LONG TO LOCK IN AS ENGINE SPEEDS HAVE ALREADY INCREASED. THIS HAPPENS MOST OFTEN AFTER ENGINE HAS WARMED FULLY.

METAL VALVE STEM CAP WERE INSTALLED ON TIRES WHEN I GOT MY CAR BRAND NEW. YESTERDAY I TRIED TO OPEN THE CAP FOR REFILL, THEY ARE UNABLE TO OPEN DUE TO CORRODED METAL. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I BELIEVE OPENING UP A TIRE VALVE CAP SHOULD BE EASY, BUT FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE. I DID NOT WANT TO BREAK THE VALVE OR DAMAGE MYSELF. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE ON TIRES NOT PROPERLY INFLATED.

RECALLS NUMBER 17V-725 AND 18V-170 APPEAR TO BE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES FOR PASSENGERS IN THE 2ND ROW SEATS, AND THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A MANUFACTURER SOLUTION. FOR THE 17V-725 RECALL, IT HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT A SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHY IS THIS TAKING SO LONG AND WHY HASN'T NHSTA NOT TAKEN STRONGER ACTION TO COMPEL HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM? THIS IS WHY YOU EXIST, TO KEEP CONSUMERS SAFE BEFORE A SAFETY INCIDENT OCCURS. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS WITH HONDA TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 20-30MPH, MY VEHICLE CONVULSES DURING A GEAR SHIFT, EVERY TIME I SWITCH FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. CURRENT VEHICLE SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS. 17-044 AND 17-043 ISSUED ON 2-28-2018. NO WARRANTY OFFERED AFTER 60,000 MILES. I'M CURRENTLY AT 67, 700. NO ASSISTANCE BEING OFFERED BY HONDA OR AUTHORIZED DEALER. IF SERVICE BULLETIN DOES NOT GOOD THE ISSUE, HONDA RECOMMENDS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT!! AS A CONSUMER, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND FEEL HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS, NOT THE CONSUMER. TO ISSUE A TSV MEANS THEY KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES.

COMING DOWN MCDONALDS PASS, THE VAN WAS GOING FASTER THAN I WANTED, 50 OR 60 MILES PER HOUR SO I TAPPED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN ON CLEAR BLACKTOP, NO ICE. WHEN I DID,THE FRONT END WHEELS SHIMMIED EACH TIME I TAPPED THE BREAKS. IT SCARED ME, BECAUSE IF IT HAD BEEN ICY, I COULD NOT HAVE SLOWED DOWN AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO GET TO A SAFER SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY SLOW DOWN, BUT THE FRONT END KEPT SHIMMYING EACH TIME I TAPPED THE BRAKES GOING DOWN THE STEEP HILL AND THERE WERE CURVES IN THE ROAD AS WELL.

NOVEMBER 2017 NEWS REPORTS DESCRIBED A SAFETY RECALL OF CERTAIN MODEL YEARS OF HONDA ODYSSEY VAN SECOND ROW SEATING. THIS WAS DUE TO SEATS NOT BEING SECURE IN SUDDEN STOP OR IMPACT. SINCE THAT TIME, NOW 4 MONTHS, SEVERAL DEALERSHIP CLAIM NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN THE RECALL REPAIRS WILL BE HONORED AND REFER CALLERS TO HONDA AMERICA. HONDA AMERICA REFERS ALL CALLS TO DEALERS AND STATES THIS IS "NOT REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE" BUT A MATTER OF OPERATOR ERROR. I WOULD SUBMIT THAT IF THE SEAT LATCH SYSTEM CAN BE INSTALLED/OPERATED IMPROPERLY THEN IT IS IN FACT A SAFETY RELATED DESIGN DEFECT WHICH A CORPORATION THE SIZE OF HONDA COULD HAVE REPAIRED BY NOW, IF THEY WERE NOT DENYING THE PROBLEM! CAN DOT ENFORCE AN EXISTING FEDERAL RECALL?

CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY DURING MILD ACCELERATION, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND SPEEDS. THIS CAN OCCUR RIGHT AFTER STARTUP OR CAN START AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO FIRST GEAR. IT CONTINUES UNTIL THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. THE PROBLEM DISSAPPEARS WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. IT OCCURS VERY RANDOMLY, I.E., INTERVALS OF WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE IT OCCUR AT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT., AND IT DOES NOT GIVE A COMPUTER CODE. THE DEALER CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION AND COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE.

THIS IS THE 2ND RECALL I'VE HAD ON MY CAR WITHIN A YEAR ALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE 2ND ROW SEATS NOT LATCHING PROPERLY. THE LADY ON THE PHONE JUST TOLD ME THAT IF I BRAKE TOO HARD THE SEAT COULD POSSIBLY COME UNLATCHED. I HAVE A CHILD AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT HONDA ISN'T DOING ANYTHING EXCEPT WAITING FOR PARTS TO COME IN AND NOT SELLING THEIR NEW VANS UNTIL THESE PARTS COME IN. I DON'T FEEL THAT IS ENOUGH. HOW CAN HONDA ALLOW PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE VEHICLES TO STILL BE DRIVING THEM UNTIL THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. IF I BRAKE HARD AND THE SEAT COMES UNLATCHED FROM THE FLOOR BOARD, WHICH IS WHAT THE LADY TOLD ME, THAT IS SUPER UNSAFE AND HONDA SHOULD BE DOING MORE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, EVEN WORSE IF SOMEONE IS TO RUN INTO YOU OR REAR-END YOU. THE CHILD OR ADULT, WHOMEVER, WILL PROBABLY DIE IF THE SEAT UNLATCHES FROM THE FLOORBOARD. AND BETTER YET, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THE PARTS IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
