VAN HAD A MINOR ACCIDENT IN THE FRONT END THAT I PURCHASED FROM MY BROTHER'S BODY SHOP. NOT SURE IF ACCIDENT CAUSED IT BUT, THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON PERIODICALLY FOR NO REASON, E.G. NOT RAINING, LOSING CONTROL OF VEHICLE. LOOKED AT BY 2 HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE CAN FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY BY LOOKING AT EVERY WIRE. TO DATE, MY BROTHER AND I HAVE SPENT ABOUT $5,000 REPLACING THE FRONT ABS SENSORS, FRONT WIRE HARNESS, STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, RACK AND PINION, BEARINGS, ABS MODULATOR, YANN SENSOR AND POWER STEERING PUMP. IN ORDER FOR THE TRACTION CONTROL NOT TO COME ON, WE MUST HIT THE BUTTON AND SHUT IT OFF...THEN THE TC LIGHT COMES ON THAT ITS OFF. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO HELP. THEY SENT ME A FOLLOW UP TO SEE IF I WAS HAPPY WITH CALL AND I SENT A 2 PAGE LETTER TO MR. SMITH, CUSTOMER SERVICE VP TO HELP ME FIX MY PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH I WOULD LIKE TO GET REIMBURSED, I WOULD SETTLE JUST TO HAVE HONDA FIX MY PROBLEM AT THEIR COST. AT THIS POINT, DRIVING WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF IS VERY UNSAFE FOR MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS THAT DRIVE IN THE VAN. PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS MY SECOND VAN (PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED A 2006 BRAND NEW). I UNDERSTAND HONDA HAS A TRAINING CENTER IN VIRGINIA, AND I WOULD BE WILLING TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT TO SEE IF THEY CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS, SOME OF THE OTHER 2009 VAN'S DO THE SAME THING. WE ARE NOT SURE IF THIS HAPPENED BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND THIS IS THE REASON THE INDIVIDUAL SOLD IT TO MY BROTHER. PLEASE HELP...THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HONDA DOES NOT APPEAR TO CARE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE CALL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THE LETTER I SENT HONDA.

The investigation found that the liftgate struts were failing prematurely and at an abnormal rate in certain model year (MY) 2008 Honda Odyssey Touring and 2009 Honda Odyssey Touring and EX-L model vehicles equipped with power-operated rear liftgates (note: MY 2008 Odyssey EX-L was not equipped with a power liftgate).Unlike vehicles with non-powered (manual) liftgates, the subject vehicle's liftgate can be opened automatically (via the power liftgate motor) even when the struts are in a degraded condition and can no longer support it in the open position.Consumers standing or accessing the rear cargo area under the liftgate and expecting the liftgate will stay open, can be struck when the liftgate unexpectedly drops, or can be trapped under the liftgate as it power closes, both of which can occur when the system detects and reacts to degraded struts.By contrast, users of a manual liftgate assist in lifting it, and thus notice the lack of support as the struts degrade.Honda is conducting a recall to replace the liftgate struts in approximately 45,747 MY 2008 and early MY 2009 Odyssey vehicles equipped with power liftgates built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly that occurred on January 13, 2009 (see NHTSA Safety Recall No. 12V-062 for further details).The vehicles subject to the recall account for 101 complaints, 12 injuries, and 5,630 of the warranty claims shown above (i.e., the MY 2009 and 2010 vehicles built after the manufacturing change experience lower failure rates).In addition, and based on consumer complaints to NHTSA, Odyssey vehicles without power liftgates experience lower complaint and injury rates than the Odyssey vehicles equipped with power liftgates (subject vehicles).The reports cited above can be reviewed online at www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification (ODI) numbers:10442027, 10441232, 10437461, 10432557, 10430420, 10429962, 10412908, 10401388, 10395475, 10390216, 10343678, 10336744, 10294156
