THE VAN STARTED MAKING A LOUD RAPID 'CLICK.CLICK.CLICK." TYPE NOISE. I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING, WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE DISPLAY SAID "P" FOR PARK. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MERGE OUT OF TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENED SO FAST AND WAS SO STARTLING. I WAS ABLE TO COAST AND MOVE OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP THE VAN. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND IT DROVE NORMALLY. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY MOVED THE TOLL TAG STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD AND SAID IT WAS INTERFERING WITH THE SENSORS. 2/6/2020 I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT, SO MY HUSBAND DROVE IT. HE WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS IT IS LOOSE CONNECTIONS AT THE BATTERY.

ON NOVEMBER 11, 2019, I SENT MY HONDA ODYSSEY TO A HONDA DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE. EVERYTHING WENT NORMALLY. AFTER THE MAINTENANCE, I DROVE MY CAR BACK HOME. EVERY DAY, I GO TO WORK AND WORK NORMALLY. ABOUT 10 DAYS AFTER THE MAINTENANCE, THE ENGINE LIGHT SUDDENLY TURNS ON. AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED ON, THE ENGINE LIGHTS RETURNED TO NORMAL. EVERY DAY WHEN I WENT TO WORK, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A POOL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I WONDER IF IT WAS WATER OR OIL? I DIDN'T CARE TOO MUCH JUST AFTER FINISHING THE MAINTENANCE. IN THE STATE OF THE CAR, I DROVE IT FOR ANOTHER WEEK. AT THE END, THE ENGINE LIGHT MADE A SOUND AND I CHECKED THAT MY ENGINE OIL WAS ALMOST GONE. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE. THE ENGINE OIL THAT I JUST FINISHED MAINTENANCE WAS GONE WITHIN 20 DAYS. THIS IS TOO SCARY. THE ENGINE RAN OUT OF OIL. I HAD DRIVEN FOR SO MANY DAYS. IT'S JUST KILLING. I RETURNED THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT JUST HELPED ME FILL UP THE ENGINE OIL WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION. THIS WAY I CAN'T ACCEPT IT. PLEASE HELP ME DEFEND MY RIGHTS. WHAT CAUSES THE LOSS OF ENGINE OIL? FIND OUT LATER I'M AFRAID I'LL DIE. AT PRESENT, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE OF THE CAR SHOWS THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IS NOT ENOUGH. I CHECKED THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT PIERCING, AND I ALSO PERFORMED A LOT OF AIR REFILLS, WHICH DID NOT WORK. IT SHOULD SHOW THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IS INSUFFICIENT. THANK YOU FOR AUDITING MY ISSUE TO HELP ME COMPLETE MY RIGHTS. NOW I THINK THAT THE ENGINE IS SCARED WITHOUT OIL.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN THE PROCESS OF SHIFTING BETWEEN 3 AND 4TH GEAR VAN SHIFTS VERY HARD . SO MUCH SO THAT AT TIMES MY BODY IS THRUSTED FORWARD WHICH CAUSES ME TO MOMENTARILY LOSE SIGHT OF ROAD. WHILE SHIFTING IT SEEMS TO VEHICLE SEEMS LUNGE AT HIGHER SPEED. THIS OCCURS AT LOW RPM AND WILL USUALLY OCCUR WHEN SPEED HITS 24MPH. HARD SHIFT ALSO OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN BUT NOT AS COMMON . THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING ON STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN IT REQUIRES DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. WHEN VEHICLE WAS 1ST PURCHASED THIS WAS NOT EXPERIENCED, IT WAS UNTIL AFTER 6 MONTHS THAT THIS STARTED OCCURRING. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT VEHICLE AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE ISSUE AND INFORMED ME THAT VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS INTENDED. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP SINCE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THEY SUGGESTED I REVIEW MY CONSUMER RIGHTS BROCHURE IF I WANTED TO TAKE ADDITIONAL ACTION. THERE ARE VARIOUS POST ONLINE WITH EXACT SAME ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND FEEL THERE IS FLAW IN THE DESIGN WHICH HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY NOR WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE

IWAS DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH COMING OUT OF A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHIFTED ITSELF INTO PARK AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS WHERE THROWN FORWARD BY THE SUDDENNESS OF THE STOP. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

WHILE DRIVING ON A TRIP AT ABOUT 60 MPH, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING, NOTHING WAS FUNCTIONAL, INCLUDING THE BACK-UP CAMERA WHICH I HEAVILY RELY ON. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IN ADDITION, ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WOULDN'T TURN OFF AND STARTED DRAINING THE BATTERY. I ENDED UP HAVING TO PULL THE FUSE TO GET IT TO SHUT OFF, WHICH IS VER DIFFICULT TO ACCESS. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY THERE IS NO FIX CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. I AM NOT COMFORTABLE USING THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AT ALL IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR PURCHASING.

FREQUENT LOUD CRACKLING NOISES COME FROM THE SPEAKERS, FOLLOWED BY A NETWORK CONNECTION LOST ERROR MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN, AND THEN THE SCREEN WILL GO BLACK AND EVENTUALLY THE SYSTEM WILL REBOOT. THIS WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING AND DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE STATE OR USE OF THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM (IT CAN BE OFF AND STILL HAPPEN). THERE SEEMS TO BE A CORRELATION WITH GOING OVER A BUMP, SUGGESTING A LOOSE CONNECTION SOMEWHERE. WHEN RESTARTING OR OFF, THE RADIO, CLIMATE CONTROLS AND THE BACKUP CAMERA ARE ALL UNAVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT DISTRACTS THE DRIVER AND ALSO PREVENTS USAGE OF THE BACKUP CAMERA. BEGAN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY AT AROUND 1500 MILES AND NOW AT ~1700 MILES IT HAPPENS ESSENTIALLY ALL THE TIME.

Vehicle speed control, Service brakes, Oct 29, 2019, crash
DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY, THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME ARE SLOWING DOWN, MY CAR'S COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM SENDS A VISUAL ALERT WITH THE "BRAKE" SIGNAL COMING ON AND I FEEL THE BRAKES ENGAGING, SIMULTANEOUSLY I SLAM ON THE BRAKES, AND WHILE THERE WAS STILL DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF MINE AND MINE, I AM NOT ABLE TO BRAKE. THE BRAKES SEEM CONFUSED, AND THE IMPACT IS SO STRONG THAT MY HEAD ALMOST REACHES THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SEATBELT IS LOCKED IN PLACE AND LEAVES ME SORE. ONCE I AM ABLE TO GET AHOLD THAT I WAS JUST IN A CAR ACCIDENT, I AM UNABLE TO LOWER THE WINDOWS, THE CAR IS ABLE TO CALL FOR HELP ON IT'S OWN AND DOES SO ALTHOUGH NOTHING COMES OF THAT IN THAT NO HELP COMES. ONCE I GET OFF THE VAN I NOTICE THE PLATE IS KNOCKED AND ON THE FLOOR, THE BUMPER HAS FALLEN OFF AND THE HOOD AND GRILL ARE CURLED UP PICTURES ATTACHED. THE CAR SEEMS TO BE LEAKING A FLUID AND WE ARE UNABLE TO START IT. I BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE WE (THE CAR AND I) SIMULTANEOUSLY HAVING THE SYSTEM ENGAGING ON IT'S OWN AND MY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES PREVENTED THE BRAKES FROM WORKING. THE IMPACT WAS WITH SUCH VELOCITY THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE HAD THEM WORKING PROPERLY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY CONCERN IF THE DRIVER AND THE SYSTEM ARE UNABLE TO WORK TOGETHER OR TOO CONFUSING FOR THE SYSTEM. INTERESTINGLY, THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY! ADDITIONALLY, THE INITIAL SCAN BY THE AUTO BODY SHOP HAD MANY ALERTS COME UP BUT THE ONES I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT ARE ABS - ECM FAILURE AND INTEGRATED DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEM - BRAKE ACTUATOR MALFUNCTION, ATTACHING THAT SCAN TOO.

IN MULTIPLE VEHICLES AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND LOOKING AT TWO VEHICLES IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE REAR GLASS HAS NOT BEEN MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY AS THERE ARE OBSCURITIES IN THE GLASS AND THOSE OBSCURITIES CREATE A BLURRY PATCH TO THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT OF CENTER AT THE EDGES OF THE GLASS. IF YOU CAN SEE IT'S FAINTLY LIKE A CORDUROY EFFECT IN BETWEEN THE LAYERS OF GLASS. A MANAGER AT FROM SUNSET HONDA IN SAN LUIS OBISPO HAS SEEN THE DEFECTS NOTICED IT AND OTHER VEHICLES BUT DECLINED TO DO ANYTHING SINCE IT WAS THE SAME IN TWO VEHICLES. I STATED THAT THAT DOESN'T PROHIBITED FROM BEING A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING HE AGREED THAT THERE WAS BLURRY VISION AND THAT HE COULD SEE THE LINES THAT I'M SPEAKING OF.

FOUR TIMES IN LAST 3 MONTHS WHEN HEADING INTO SUN, 40 MPH, EMPTY RURAL ROAD,, AUTO BRAKING SYSTEM FLASHED CRASH WARNING ON SCREEN IN BACK OF STEERING WHEEL. THERE WERE NO HAZARDS. I QUESTION WHETHER THE BRAKES MIGHT BE APPLIED. SANTA FE HONDA DEALER, ON OCT 23, 2019 SAID THIS HAPPENS BUT IS NOT A PROBLEM IF I MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL A LITTLE, THEN THE WARNING WILL GO AWAY AND NO BRAKING WILL OCCUR. NOTHING DANGEROUS DID OCCUR, BUT I AM CONCERNED AND DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM IF I REMEMBER. MUST BE DONE EVERY TIME ENGINE IS STARTED.
Air bags, Oct 16, 2019
WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW/NORMAL SPEED ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, I WENT OVER A GENTLE SPEED BUMP AND ON THE WAY DOWN, THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR STRUCK WHAT I BELIEVE IS PART OF THE ROADWAY. IT WAS A MINOR BUMP - BUT SOME OF THE FRONT AIRBAGS TO DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED ALONG WITH BOTH KNEE AIRBAGS. THIS WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED SINCE WE WERE DRIVING AT NORMAL RESIDENTIAL SPEEDS AND SLOWED FOR THE SPEED BUMP. AT THIS SPEED, WHATEVER IT STRUCK ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
