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.

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.

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.

Air bags, Structure, Wheels, Jan 28, 2018, crash
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.

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.

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.
Seats, Jan 2, 2018
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.
Seats, Dec 11, 2017
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.

THE VAN HAS POWER SLIDING DOORS. EVER SINCE IT WAS NEW, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS NOT CLOSING. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS BECAUSE WE LIVE ON GRAVEL. I FINALLY TOOK THE VAN APART MYSELF AND FOUND THAT THE RUBBER COATING HAD COME OFF THE CABLE THAT CLOSES THE DOOR AND BUNCHED UP AND WOULD LET IT SLIDE FREELY. I BOUGHT A NEW AND WITHIN A MONTH IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. THE COATING WAS COMING OFF. WE JUST TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA AND WERE TOLD AGAIN IT WAS DUST BUT THE COATING IS COMING OFF THE OTHER SIDE AND JAMMING IT UP TOO. MY WIFE HIT A DEER RECENTLY AND THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. THE POWER DOOR WOULDN'T SLIDE AND WHEN YOU PUT IT ON MANUAL MODE WHICH SHUTS THE DOORS OFF, IT WON'T SLIDE EITHER AND MY WIFE HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE FRONT SEAT AND GET MY SON OUT OF HIS SEAT. IF THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. WORST PART, MY WIFE SAYS THAT IT HAS NEVER WORKED AND SHE ASKED HONDA ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE LIVE ON GRAVEL. NOW THAT OUR WARRANTY IS UP, THEY WANT TO SELL US A BUNCH OF NEW PARTS. I JUST ASK THAT SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FACTOR. I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE PRETTY STRONG AND I CAN'T SIT ON THE INSIDE THE VAN AND FORCE IT OPEN SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY KIDS WOULD DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT.

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.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000.
Exterior lighting, Jul 20, 2017
THE ODOMETER DIAL IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE IN BRIGHT CONDITIONS. THIS YEAR THEY WENT TO WHITE LETTERS ON GRAY BACKGROUND. AT 70 MILES AN HOUR, STARING AT THE ODOMETER TO CHECK ONE'S SPEED IS SIMILAR TO READING TEXT ON A PHONE. I HAD CONTACTED HONDA A NUMBER OF TIMES TO ASK WHY WE CANNOT ADJUST THE LIGHTING SO THE NUMBERS WHEN LIT CAN BE VIEWED MORE EASILY. THERE IS A LIGHT DETECTOR BUILT IN THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE DASH LIGHTS TO FUNCTION DURING DAYLIGHT. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DANGEROUS EVENTS OCCUR DUE TO DRIFTING OF THE VEHICLE WHILE TAKING MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO TRY AND READ THE DIAL. WHY CAN'T THEY FIX IT TO ALLOW USE OF DASH LIGHTING DURING DAYLIGHT? IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS ALLOWING THE DISABLING OF THE DAY/NIGHT DETECTOR.

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.
