TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED, BOTH AT SLOW SPEEDS, AROUND 5 MPH, MY VAN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, AND AFTER PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL AND PUNCHING THE PEDAL DOWN, IT RETURNED TO NORMAL RPMS. A LITTLE UNSETTLING, ESPECIALLY IF THE DRIVER PANICS.

DRIVING VERY SLOWLY UPHILL IN A HOSPITAL PARKING DECK, THE PRINCIPAL DRIVER OF THE CAR TURNED INTO AN AVAILABLE PARKING SLOT APPLYING SOME GAS, FROM 25-30 FEET AWAY, ONLY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY, EVEN WITH THE DRIVER'S RIGHT FOOT FULLY ENGAGED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VAN JUMPED OVER PARKING BLOCKS AT THE END OF THE SPACE AND STRUCK A CONCRETE POST, WHEREUPON THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CRUMPLED AND THE AIRBAGS ENGAGED. THE VAN BOUNCED BACK APPROXIMATELY TWENTY FEET. WITNESSES ATTRACTED BY THE SOUND OF SQUEALING TIRES, REVVING ENGINE NOISE (BEFORE IMPACT) AND THE SUBSEQUENT CRASH ITSELF CAME TO RENDER ASSISTANCE AND CALL POLICE. THE DRIVER'S RIGHT'S FOOT WAS SEVERELY BRUISED BY THE CRASH IMPACT AND HER STERNUM FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS A DECLARED TOTAL LOSS.

WE BOUGHT THIS 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND EVER SINCE WE HAVE OWNED IT, IT WILL JUST KEEP GOING FOR AWHILE AT THE SAME SPEED WE HAD IT AT, EVEN THOUGH WE TAKE OUR FOOT OFF THE GAS. WE HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO STOP, OR IT WILL PULL A BIT HARD ON THE BRAKES. WE CAN STOP IT LIKE THIS, BUT IT WILL WEAR THE BRAKES OUT FAST. ALSO, WHEN WE PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT SPEEDS UP A LITTLE. IT WILL JUST GO DOWN THE ROAD SLOWLY WITHOUT PUTTING OUR FOOT ON THE GAS. IF WE LEAVE IT IN REVERSE, IT WILL ACCELERATE RIGHT THROUGH THE GARAGE, IF WE LET IT. AFTER IT IS IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS, IT FINALLY GOES BACK DOWN TO A REGULAR RPM, BUT GOES BACK UP EVERY 6 SECONDS OR SO, THEN BACK DOWN, ETC... ALSO, WHEN IT IS IDLING, AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, IT REVS UP AGAIN ON IT'S OWN. WE HAVE HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, AND HAD IT COMPLETELY CHECKED ON A SCANNER, AND NOTHING CAME UP; EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD ON THE SCANNER.

ON OCTOBER 16, 2013, MY HONDA ACCELERATED AT A FAST SPEED UP MY DRIVEWAY AND CAUSED $6,178.37 IN REPAIR COSTS AND SLAMMED INTO MY FRONT PORCH. THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK TO STOP THE CAR. WE IMMEDIATELY INFORMED HONDA AND OUR INSURANCE CARRIER OF THE ACCIDENT, AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO HONDA IN OLD BRIDGE, NJ, AS IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO DAMAGE. ON 11/15/2013, SEE CLAIMS SUMMARY, HONDA COULD NOT DETERMINE IF THIS AN ACCELERATION ISSUE. THEY NEVER INFORMED US OF WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. HONDA DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL CAR, SO I HAD TO RENT A CAR FROM 10/21/13 TO 11/26/13, WHICH I PAID $603.96 OUT OF POCKET (RECEIPTS ENCLOSED). THE AMOUNT OF TIME HONDA WAS WAY TOO LONG FIX MY CAR AND I HAD PAY ADDITIONAL RENTAL COSTS DUE TO THEIR UNREASONABLE DELAY. SHORTLY, AFTER HONDA REPAIRED MY CAR, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT THE BRAKES WERE RECALLED. REALLY? THIS IS WHY MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS ON MY HONDA. A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE, THE ENGINE BROKE DOWN. I WROTE TO NJ ATTORNEY GENERAL, WHO WROTE BACK AND ASKED THAT I WRITE TO YOU. I AM ALSO ATTACHING PICTURES OF THE ACCIDENT. THERE ARE TIRE MARKS IN THE DRIVEWAY DUE TO THE HIGH SPEED OF THE ACCELERATION. PHOTOS FLUIDS RUNNING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, AND THE DAMAGED FRONT END. I HAVE ALSO ENCLOSED NJ MANUFACTURER'S, COPY OF THE CLAIM SUMMARY DATED 11/15/13. THIS MATTER IS VERY UPSETTING TO ME AND THE WAY IT WAS HANDLED BY HONDA. MY HUSBAND, ALSO PURCHASED A NEW PILOT, AND MY HONDA WERE BOTH PURCHASED NEW AT THE SAME HONDA. I KNOW THERE ARE ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH THIS HONDA AND THIS WAS AN ACCELERATION ISSUE AND A MECHANICAL ISSUE ON THE FAULT OF THE BRAKES I AM REQUESTING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE CAR RENTAL, INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE AND A REFUND OF THE COST I PAID FOR THE HONDA IN THE AMOUNT OF $28,931.46. MY CAR HAS NEVER DRIVEN THE SAME SINCE THE ACCIDENT.

SUDDEN, UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE: THREE TIMES WITHIN THE LAST WEEK OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY STARTED RAPIDLY ACCELERATING (REV-ING) WHILE I WAS APPLYING BRAKES AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN. I AVOIDED A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT BY APPLYING STIFF BRAKING PRESSURE WHILE RAPIDLY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. ONLY AFTER I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION DID THE CAR STOP REV-ING. THAT SEEMED TO FIX IT THE FIRST AND SECOND TIME BECAUSE WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN, IT BEHAVED NORMALLY FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED AS I WAS SLOWING AND COMING TO A STOP BEHIND ANOTHER CAR, AND AFTER I HAD TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, IT STARTING REVING AGAIN JUST AS SOON AS THE ENGINE STARTED. SO I TURNED IT OFF AGAIN AND COUNTED TO TEN, AND THEN IT STARTED NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THEY SAY IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE THROTTLE BODY (WHATEVER THAT IS) AND THEY SAY THEY OPENED IT UP AND CLEANED IT OUT, BUT REALLY COULDN'T SAY WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IT. THIS IS REALLY SCARY BECAUSE IF I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO REACT QUICKLY AND APPLY STIFF BRAKING PRESSURE, I COULD HAVE CONTINUED INTO TRAFFIC WHERE I ALMOST CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY CROSS TRAFFIC (THE FIRST TWO TIMES) OR WOULD HAVE RUN INTO THE CAR THAT WAS STOPPED AHEAD OF ME (THIS LAST TIME). (BY "REV-ING" I MEAN THE ENGINE IS RACING, I.E., MAKING LOTS OF REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE. AS IF THE DRIVER WAS STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.)

HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ODYSSEY AND ACURA RL VEHICLES. BRAKE FLUID CONTAINING POLYMERS IS USED THAT ACTS AS A LUBRICANT FOR CERTAIN BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IF REPLACEMENT BRAKE FLUID IS USED THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN SUCH POLYMERS, OR THAT CONTAINS ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS, A PART OF THE RUBBER SEAL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY BECOME DRY, AND THE SEAL MAY CURL DURING MOVEMENT OF THE PISTON. IF THIS OCCURS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID COULD SLOWLY LEAK FROM THE SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND OVERTIME A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

HONDA HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 AND 2008 ODYSSEY AND ELEMENT PASSENGER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 28, 2006 AND AUGUST 21, 2008. AIR CAN ENTER THE VSA MODULAR PUMP DURING AN INITIAL SELF-CHECK PROCESS THAT OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER EACH TIME THE ENGINE IS STARTED. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ENOUGH AIR TO ENTER THE SYSTEM TO RESULT IN A BRAKE PEDAL THAT FEELS SOFT OR LOWER TO THE FLOOR.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: IF THE OWNER DOES NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS OR YEARS, THE SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE ENOUGH AIR TO AFFECT BRAKING PERFORMANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNER AND HONDA DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VSA MODULATOR BY REMOVING ANY EXISTING AIR IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THEN APPLY SEALANT AND CAPS TO PREVENT AIR FROM ENTERING THE BRAKE SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 3, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electronic Stability Control

In a letter dated October 31, 2013, Honda Motor Company (Honda) submitted a recall notice to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation describing a defect in the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system in approximately 344,187 model year (MY) 2007 and 2008 Honda Odyssey vehicles produced from August 8, 2006 through September 8, 2008 (NHTSA Recall 13V-500, Honda Recall JC5).The report describes a defect condition caused by a combination of VSA system components and software that is unique to the MY 2007-2008 Honda Odyssey vehicles.The condition may result in unexpected brake application by the VSA system with no brake lamp illumination.The braking forces resulting from the condition can approach the maximum braking capability of the vehicle.Honda's investigation determined that (1) if the yaw rate sensor off-set exceeds a certain value, (2) the sensor calibration is not completed before the vehicle starts moving after start-up, and (3) the vehicle is driven in a specific manner; the VSA system may build hydraulic pressure in the brake system resulting in heavy, unexpected braking without the driver applying the brake pedal.Honda estimates that the parts necessary to correct this condition will not be available until March 2014.Pending part availability, Honda will send interim letters to affected owners including instructions to avoid the defect condition using a procedure to ensure proper VSA system calibration after each vehicle start-up, as well as instructions about what to do if unexpected brake application occurs while driving.Once the remedy parts are available, Honda will send a second notice advising owners to bring their vehicle to their dealer for installation of a redesigned yaw rate sensor.This investigation is closed.

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:control Unit/module

By letter dated March 15, 2010, American Honda Motor Corp. (HMC) notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it will conduct a safety recall (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-098) to address a defect in approximately 412,000 model year (MY) 2007 and 2008 Honda Odyssey and Element vehicles equipped with an ABS/VSA/TCS modulator. The recalled Odyssey vehicles were built from August 2006 August 2008.The recalled Element vehicles were built from July 2006 to July 2008. According to Honda, during an initial self-check process that occurs shortly after each engine ignition cycle, the self-diagnostic software for the VSA modulator allows a vacuum condition that can exist for several hours, allowing air to enter the VSA modulator pump.Over time, and thousands of engine ignition cycles, it is possible for enough air to enter the system to result in a brake pedal that feels soft or lower to the floor.If the customer does not have any brake service or maintenance performed over a period of months or years, the system can continue to accumulate enough air to affect braking performance.To correct the safety defect, Honda dealers will remove existing air in the brake system then apply sealant and caps to the VSA modulator to prevent air from entering the brake system, free of charge. The action taken by Honda is sufficient to resolve the issues raised by this investigation. The agency will continue to monitor this issue and reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.

THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION (ODI) HAS RECEIVED 69 COMPLAINTS, AND HONDA HAS RECEIVED 613 COMPLAINTS AND FIELD REPORTS, ALLEGING LOW/SOFT/SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL IN MODEL YEAR (MY) 2006 THROUGH 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVANS.TWENTY-SIX ODI COMPLAINTS WERE ALSO REPORTED TO HONDA, RESULTING IN A TOTAL COMPLAINT COUNT OF 656.SOME COMPLAINTS ALLEGE THAT THE CONDITION RESULTED IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES, INCLUDING SOME REPORTS OF ROLLING PAST STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS.THERE ARE 14 ALLEGED CRASHES IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLE POPULATION RELATED TO LOW/SOFT PEDALS. IN RESPONSE TO ODI'S INFORMATION REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY EVALUATION PE09-024, HONDA INDICATED THAT SMALL AMOUNTS OF AIR MAY ENTER THE BRAKE SYSTEM DURING INITIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA) MODULATOR WHILE THE PUMP IS BRIEFLY ACTUATED FOR SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS AFTER THE ENGINE IS STARTED.THE AMOUNT OF AIR GRADUALLY INCREASES WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE ENGINE START CYCLE, RESULTING IN PROGRESSIVELY INCREASING BRAKE PEDAL STROKE.ACCORDING TO HONDA, THE CONDITION DOES NOT PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY BECAUSE THE PEDAL STROKE GRADUALLY INCREASES, PROVIDING THE DRIVER WITH INFORMATION THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HEIGHT IS CHANGING AND REQUIRES ATTENTION.HONDA HAS FURTHER INDICATED THAT THERE IS NO DETERIORATION OF BRAKING PERFORMANCE CAUSED BY THE SUBJECT CONDITION, EVEN THOUGH THE PEDAL HEIGHT AND FEEL ARE DIFFERENT, UNTIL PEDAL STROKE HAS REACHED THE END OF TRAVEL AND THE DRIVER CANNOT PRODUCE ANY ADDITIONAL BRAKE LINE PRESSURE.HONDA STATES THAT IT IS UNAWARE OF ANY VEHICLES THAT HAVE REACHED SUCH A CONDITION AND HONDA TESTING USING A LEAKING FIELD RETURN MODULATOR INDICATES THAT IT WOULD TAKE OVER A YEAR BEFORE THE PEDAL TRAVEL WOULD REACH ITS LIMIT DURING HARD STOPS WITH 200 N (45 LBF) OF PEDAL EFFORT - THE NOMINAL FORCE REQUIRED TO REACH ABS BRAKING MODE. ODI'S ANALYSIS OF WARRANTY DATA INDICATES THAT THE MY 2007-08 ODYSSEY VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ALLEGED DEFECT AT A RATE OF 0.67%.THE MY 2006 ODYSSEY VEHICLES HAVE EXPERIENCED THE ALLEGED DEFECT AT A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER RATE (0.04%) THAN THE MY 2007-08 ODYSSEY.HONDA IMPLEMENTED A DESIGN CHANGE IN THE MY 2007 VEHICLES TO CHANGE THE VSA DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM. THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS (EA09-014) FOR THE MY 2007-08 ODYSSEY VEHICLES TO CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE SCOPE, FREQUENCY, AND SAFETY-RELATED CONSEQUENCES OF THE ALLEGED DEFECT.
