2014 HONDA ODYSSEY Unknown Or Other Problems

The incident happened in December 2022; the vehicle is available for inspection still. Without warning, the engine light started blinking, and engine ran very rough, so I ended up pulled over and stuck until we could tow to the local Honda dealership. Then was without a car for several days. The dealership found error code P0302 (misfire on cylinder 2), due to oil gumming up on the spark plugs, caused by the eco system design flaw in the 2014 Odyssey. The dealer quoted $5640 to replace the 1-3 piston rings. I could not afford this, so they replaced all 6 plugs and cleared the codes for a short term fix ($465). Which brings us to now, when Honda has offered a warranty extension and to reimburse for previous repairs related to this problem. I submitted my paperwork for the $465 reimbursement a month ago and have had multiple phone calls with Honda, and several "escalations" to supposed supervisors, each of whom seem to have not even looked at the incident details. Honda has denied the claim. The paperwork I submitted to them is from the dealer repair in Dec. 2022 and states "misfire on cylinder 2, need piston ring repair on cylinders 1-3, P0302 was the dtc error code, replaced all 6 plugs and cleared codes for short term fix, for long term fix, vehicle needs the 1-3 piston rings replaced." The Honda reps claim the dealer service did not use the right wording; it should have the words "fouled by oil" in the service report (but they don't provide appropriate wording for service departments to use). The last voicemail I received from them said there was no error code provided (which there clearly was). Honda is not interested in fulfilling the reimbursement their latest campaign promises. Beyond that, the long term fix is not covered on the warranty extension, because the vehicle is not currently broken. So I am left with a van that I can't drive on the highway or out of town, since it can happen again without warning. This is a safety risk for my family. Shame!!

I purchased a used vehicle from an auto auction. After the purchase, I discovered through Carfax and AutoCheck reports that the vehicle had a history of severe damage and an odometer discrepancy, both of which were not disclosed prior to the sale. The vehicle was sold with a Clean Title that stated “Actual Mileage,” but available records contradict this, indicating possible odometer fraud and prior total loss or structural damage. This raises concerns of title washing — where previous branded or salvage titles are "washed" clean through certain state DMVs — and calls into question the accuracy of the title issued shortly before the sale. The clean title was issued just one day before the auction sale, despite existing documentation showing serious history issues. The current situation poses a potential safety risk if the structural integrity was compromised in the previous damage. I still have the documents and inspection results available upon request. No resolution has been offered despite raising the issue with the auction.

White pearl paint chipping non stop

Both passenger sliding doors will not open when vehicle is running or turned off. Manually trying to open the doors will not work as well.

1st incident Fall 2023 Approaching a stop sign, decelerating from 30mph I pressed on the brake to complete the stop but the engine roared, RPMs revved, & the vehicle accelerated, better it lurched, forward. I mashed down the brake pedal as hard as I could but it would not stop the vehicle. All I could do was put it into park. Happens almost weekly, at least 7 times, but not predictably. Once in December, I was approaching a four way stop sign around 3:30pm, I had been driving the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes & the weather was good (no ice, partly cloudy, roads clear & dry). As I came to the stop sign, pressing the brake the final time to complete the stop, it roared loudly, the RPMs jumped high, and the vehicle surged forward through the intersection. I let off the brake and tried to smash it down again, but it wouldn’t go to the floor (only a mild decompression) so I powered through the intersection, thank God no one was coming. I didn’t pull over or turn the vehicle off, I continued going my way home. 15 minutes later, turning into my driveway the brakes worked normally, like nothing had happened. [XXX] I took it to a Honda dealership. They upgraded the transmission & flushed the transmission lines three times. They were unable to replicate the issue & could not detect any codes or communication of an issue in the system. I took it home with no answers. [XXX] I was approaching a stoplight to turn left. I was driving, my brother was in the passenger seat. Weather conditions were good: clear skies, no ice/rain/snow, roads dry & clear. I had been driving the vehicle for less than 10 minutes & I had given it ~ 5 minutes to “warm up” since it’s Minnesota. I met a stop sign w/o issue, but then as I approached a nearby stoplight it surged forward just like before. I pressed the brake to complete the stop, the engine roaring so loudly my brother said “it’s gonna blow up!” Back to Honda dealership on [XXX]. Still no resolution. Can’t replicate INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

UNKNOWN white pearl paint started peeling under the window of the back hatch. It peeled off like a sheet in a 3” by 3” area. The van is well cared for and is parked under a covered carport. Clearly, it is a manufacturing defect that should not be happening.

. We were driving on a freeway in rural Minnesota at around 70 mph when the tire pressure monitor lit up. There were no warning lights before that.We started to slow down and suddenly the dashboard lit up with multiple warning lights and the engine stuttered and quit. Fortunately we were going downhill and managed to coast onto an exit (without benefit of power steering or power brakes) and coasted onto the ramp shoulder. After we stopped, the battery seemed to have power; the starter motor would begin to operate but it would stop in less than a second, the car would not restart and the dashboard showed warnings about the ESC and ABS in addition to other warnings. When a tow truck finally arrived, we described the symptoms and the tow truck driver instantly said "It's the alternator". He connected a measuring device to the battery, the car started and ran briefly and he confirmed that the problem was a defective alternator. The dealer replaced the alternator fixing the problem. No other repair was needed. Clearly the alternator failure glitched the computer and caused the car to shut down. The fact that the tow truck driver instantly identified the problem from our verbal description is evidence that this is a rather common problem--even if it is not frequently reported. The catastrophic alternator failure in our Honda Odyssey could have caused a very serious accident. We were very lucky that we were able to coast to a safe place. Every car should be fail-safe in case of an alternator failure! I have experienced two other on-the-road alternator failures in the past. In both cases I received a red warning light and the car continued to operate on existing battery charge until I reached a safe place.

2014 White Diamond Pearl Paint Peeling on roof section by both passenger doors. Although Honda Service Bulletin 19-057 extension of warranty has expired for those who are experiencing paint problem. But many of the vehicle owners with White Diamond Pearl NH-603P paint is now seeing the problem surfacing. NHTSA shall require Honda to have another extension of paint warranty.

Exterior paint peeling under rear window. Huge flap of paint, like a thin piece of paper flapping in the wind all of a suddent on my 2014 White EXL Honda Odyssey. I have reported issue and will take to dealership to get estimate cost to repair. Will report progress. I am a loyal Honda customer starting with my 1995 Honda Civic ex, then size dup to a CRV, and now my Odyssey which I've had for 9 years. I'm extremely disappointed with this paint issue.

WHILE THIS ISN'T A REAL "SAFETY" ISSUE, HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERRED ME HERE TO COMPLAIN. THERE IS AN EXISTING EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PEELING 2014 ODYSSEY WHITE PEARL PAINT, BUT ONLY FOR THE ROOF AND LIFTGATE. THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE IS PEELING THERE... BUT ALSO ON THE UPPER PORTION OF ONE OF THE SLIDING DOORS. IT IS PEELING OFF OF THE PRIMER IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS THE OTHER AREAS, AND ACTUALLY STARTED PEELING THERE FIRST, BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AGAIN, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE... JUST AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER COMPLAINT.

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

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.

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.

ON JUNE 21, 2019 MY FAMILY WAS RETURNING HOME FROM THE BEACH (PCB), AND ABOUT 3 HOURS INTO THE TRIP ON US 431 NORTH, AROUND 1 PM WE HEARD A LOUD BOOM OR POP ON THE ROOF. SOUND LIKE A SHOT GUN ACCORDING TO WIFE. WE PULLED OVER AND SUNROOF HAD 16 INCH SEEM CRACK ACROSS THE SUNROOF. ONE SIDE OF CRACKED GLASS WAS RAISED ABOUT 1/4 INCH. WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE 25 MPH ON SHOULDER AS WE WHERE IN NOWHERE, ALABAMA. ABOUT 3 OR 4 MINUTES LATER WE STOPPED AND 1 X 4" GLASS HOLE IN SUNROOF. WE CONTINUED DRIVING AND WITHIN MINUTES THE HOLE BECAME A 1 FT X 2 FT HOLE IN SUNROOF. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. WE PASSED NO CARS OR OVERPASS'S WHEN SUNROOF EXPLODED FOR NO REASON. NO HOUSES OR BUSINESSES WITHIN 5 MILES ACCORDING TO SEALE POLICE OFFICER.

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.

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..."

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.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND GOING 60MPH OR HIGHER, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES A LOT WHEN I START TO BRAKE AND I HAVE TO PUMP MY BRAKES RATHER THAN A SLOW GRADUAL DEPRESSION OF THE PEDAL LIKE ONE WOULD NORMALLY DO OR ELSE THE VAN BECOMES UNSTABLE. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR OVER A YEAR.

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.

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.

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.

BATTERY EXACTLY AFTER 3YRS 3 WEEKS BATTERY DIED AS IF LIKE TRIGGER EVENT. IT'S SUCH SHAME FOR HONDA TO TAKE THESE KIND OF CHEAP BATTERY. NOW I HAVE REPLACED WITH NEW BATTERY WHICH COMES WITH 100 MONTH WARRENTY I AM SURPRISED WHY HONDA CANT GIVE WITH NEW CAR SIMILAR BATTERY WARRENTY SOUNDS LIKE A RIPOFF

MY DAUGHTER WAS TRAPPED IN THE SEATBELT. WE PARKED THE CAR IN OUR GARAGE AND WHEN SHE SAT UP TO RELEASE HER BELT, THE BELT BECAME TANGLED AROUND HER WAIST. WE TRIED FOR 30 MINUTES TO RELEASE TO SEATBELT BUT ONCE IT RETRACTED THERE WAS NO WAY TO RELEASE IT. FINALLY WE HAD TO CUT THE BELT TO FREE HER. SHE WAS SITTING IN THE THIRD ROW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T SHUT ON MY 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. I PARKED THE VAN IN A PARKING GARAGE AND WE SHUT ALL THE DOORS THE PASSENGER WOULD ONLY SHUT HALF WAY AND THEN RE-OPEN. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF TRYING TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS STUCK I CALLED AAA AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT LEAVE MY CHILDREN ALONE WHILE I DRIVE THE VAN OUT OF THE GARAGE AND BECAUSE I COULD NOT DRIVE WITH THEM IN THE VAN WITH THE DOOR OPEN WE HAD TO WAIT 3 HOURS FOR A TRUCK THAT WOULD FIT IN A GARAGE. AAA FINALLY CAME AND SAID THEY COULD NOT TOW THE VAN BECAUSE THE DOOR MUST BE SHUT FOR LIABILITY AND SAFETY REASONS. SO I AM STUCK IN A GARAGE WITH 4 KIDS AND NO ONE CAN HELP ME. AT THIS TIME MY FIANC SHOWED UP (WE WERE OUT OF TOWN ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM HOME) AND AAA AND HE DECIDED TO CUT THE CABLE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE DOOR AND THE DOOR SHUT.. BUT THE DOOR IS BROKEN. I CALLED HONDA OWNER AND MADE A COMPLAINT BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IT'S JUST NOTED NO ACTION IS TAKEN IN THE MEAN WHILE MY ALMOST $30,000 VAN HAS A BROKEN DOOR THEY CAN IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA (THEY WERE NOT VERY NICE) IT SEEMS ALL ABOUT THE$$ AND NOT THE SAFETY OF THEIR HONDA OWNERS. THEY SAID THEY WILL LOOK AT MY CAR FOR A FEE OF$140.. I LOOKED UP PARTS ONLINE AND $400 + SO THAT PLUS WHAT EVER THEY CHARGE ME TO FIX PROBABLY $1000 FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. PEOPLE WHO USUALLY GET VANS ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE MULTIPLY CHILDREN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO ADDRESSED ASAP IT'S CHILD INDANGERMENT TO HAVE A OPEN DOOR WHILE YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AND WHAT IF I HAD TO LEAVE IT THERE BECAUSE I HAD NO ONE THEN IT WOULD NOT BE SECURE IT WOULD BE WIDE OPEN.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ASAP THIS NOT SOMETHING ANY PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH. THUS SITUATION MADE ME FEEL HELPLESS MY KIDS WERE TIRED, HUNGRY AND HAD TO USE THE BATHROOM AND I WAS HELPLESS. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.

OUR HONDA ODYSSEY WAS SUBJECT TO THE RECENT RECALL RELATING TO THE MOVEMENT OF THE SECOND ROW SEATS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AT THE NEARBY HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND IT WAS ALLEGEDLY FIXED. HOWEVER, SEVERAL DAYS THEREAFTER, WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TODDLER (IN A CAR SEAT ATTACHED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE SECOND ROW SEAT) AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH ON LOCAL STREETS, I BRAKED GENTLY TO MERGE INTO A LANE THAT WOULD TURN TOWARD THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD MY CHILD CRYING IN SUDDEN DISTRESS. THE SEAT THAT SHE WAS IN HAD FLIPPED FORWARD INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AND HER HEAD AND BODY WAS PRESSED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND WENT TO SET THE SEAT BACK DOWN AND CHECK ON AND COMFORT MY CHILD. THERE WERE SOME INJURIES, AND WE SOUGHT MEDICAL ATTENTION. AFTER THE INCIDENT, I CHECKED THE SEAT THAT HAD FLIPPED FORWARD, AND IT WAS STILL NOT LOCKED INTO PLACE, DESPITE ME HAVING SET THE SEAT DOWN AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR THAT NO INDIVIDUAL HAS MOVED THIS SEAT SINCE WE RETRIEVED THE CAR AFTER ITS REPAIR FROM THE RECALL. THIS INCIDENT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE, AS THIS INDICATES THAT THE REPAIR RELATING TO THE RECALL WAS NOT PROPERLY DONE OR ELSE THERE ARE ADDITIONAL MECHANICAL ISSUES INVOLVED. I ATTACHED A PICTURE OF HOW THE CAR SEAT WAS POSITIONED (WITH MY CHILD IN IT!). WE ALSO CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN FOR EVALUATION, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS INCIDENT WAS DUE TO THEIR HUMAN ERROR OR A MECHANICAL ISSUE.

I OWN A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY, AND HE DRIVER DOOR SOMETIMES COME OPEN BY ITSELF WHEN I AM DRIVING. OTHER TIMES I CANNOT GET IN TO THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE I CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE, NOT EVEN USING THE REGULAR KEY. WHEN I PARK MY VEHICLE, AND IF BY ANY CHANCE I AM ABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE DOORS, THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER THE DRIVER'S DOOR COME OPEN (NOT UNLOCK) BY ITSELF. I CANNOT LEAVE ANYTHING INSIDE THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE ANYONE CAN JUST GET IN. YESTERDAY, 20 MARCH 2017, AFTER I PARK MY VEHICLE I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT AND I COULD NOT, BECAUSE I COULD NOT UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S DOOR. A VERY SCARY FEELING. I HAD TO JUMP TO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND GOT OUT OPENING THE BACK DOOR. THE REMOTE/SWITCH SOMETIMES WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL THE DOORS, AND THE HATCH, BUT WILL NOT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE OTHER DOORS AFTER I START THE CAR AND START DRIVING WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATIC LIKE IT SHOULD.

AFTER PULLING OVER AN INSPECTION REVEALED THAT SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED, BUT DUE TO INTERIOR COVER CLOSED NO GLASS FELL INSIDE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO A REPAIR SHOP AFTER REPORTING INCIDENT TO INSURANCE COMPANY. REPAIR SHOP TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT HE HAD RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED SAME SITUATION ON A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN WITH A DAMAGED SUN ROOF WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE JUST POPPED OFF. HAVE CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE IF COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

THE REARVIEW CAMERA OF MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 ETOURING MINIVAN BLACKS OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I AM PARALLEL PARKING, WHICH INVOLVES SHIFTING GEARS QUICKLY IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE. ONCE THE SCREEN BLACKS OUT, IT SAYS BLACK UNLESS I RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT GETS STRESSFUL WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY STREET WITH CARS WAITING BEHIND YOU AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE REAR OF THE CAR. I PURCHASED A CAR WITH A REARVIEW CAMERA SPECIFICALLY ON PURPOSE DUE TO MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN ADDITIONAL TO LIVING ON A STREET WITH A K-1ST GRADE SCHOOL WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC WITH YOUNG KIDS. THIS IS MY SECOND VEHICLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND BOTH CARS DEMONSTRATED THE REARVIEW CAMERA BLACKOUT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE HONDA AND MY LOCAL DEALER INSTRUCTED BY HONDA NOW REFUSES TO TAKE IN MY CAR TO REGISTER OR RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE A LARGE MINIVAN FAILS TO PROVIDE A FULLY RELIABLE AND FUNCTIONING REARVIEW CAMERA WHICH IS LEGALLY REQUIRED TO DO SO BY 2018 ANYWAYS. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT OR FULLY SOLVE THIS RECURRENT PROBLEM ON MANY DIFFERENT DATES.
