2010 Honda Odyssey

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BACKUP SENSOR FAILED AND THE VOLUME WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH FOR HIM TO HEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WHENEVER HE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED HIM THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO TURN UP THE VOLUME BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN ON THE SENSOR. THE HONDA MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND THEY WOULD NOT LET HIM SPEAK WITH THE ENGINEER IN REGARDS TO THE VOLUME AND THE DESIGN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WANTED THE DEALER TO INCREASE THE VOLUME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. THERE WAS NO MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 380.

WE HAVE A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. I WAS LOOKING AHEAD IN TRAFFIC AND NOTICE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HAD SLAM THEIR BRAKES. I THOUGHT I HAD ENOUGH DISTANCES TO STOP, BUT MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I COULDN'T MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL. I FELT LIKE I KEPT SLIDING INSTEAD OF JUST STOPPING. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE DRY AND AT DUSK TIME DURING THE DAY. THE LADY FROM THE CAR THAT I BARELY HIT, GOT OUT OF HER CAR AND ASKED ME HOW NEW WAS MY VEHICLE. I TOLD HER THAT WE HAD JUST GOT IT. SHE SAID WHEN I LOOKED BACK TO SEE YOU, YOU HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP BUT IT LOOKED LIKE YOU KEPT SLIDING. SHE THOUGHT I SHOULD GO AND GET MY BRAKES CHECKED. SO I DID AT THE SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY BRAKES WERE FIND. I DON'T THINK THAT MY BRAKES ARE FINE. I HAD A 2004 ODYSSEY AND I FELT SAFER WITH THOSE BRAKES THAN I DO WITH THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE. ONE OTHER THING ABOUT MY VEHICLE SINCE I AM ON HERE. WE HAD TAKEN A LONG TRIP JUST AFTER WE HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. A WARNING LIGHT CAME OWN. MY HUSBAND LOOKED IN THE MANUAL IT WAS IN RELATION TO EMISSIONS. IT WAS THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP. WE HAD CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US 2 THINGS. TAKE IT IN TO GET IT LOOKED AT THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND ARE WE TIGHTENING OUR GAS TANK CAP. SO WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD US NOTHING WAS WRONG. DURING OUR WHOLE TRIP BACK WE MADE SURE OUR GAS TANK CAP WAS TIGHTEN. TO THIS VARY DAY THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG, BUT THE LIGHT COMES AND GOES. THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. SO I AM ON HERE CONCERN ABOUT MY FAMILY AND I SAFETY. *TR

I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY ON OCTOBER 16, 2009. ON JANUARY 16, 2010, I WAS DRIVING IN NEW YORK CITY TRAFFIC STOPPED AT A LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL CARS. SUDDENLY THE CAR'S ENGINE STARTED TO RACE AND LURCHED FORWARD EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. FOR SEVERAL SECONDS THE CAR KEPT LURCHING FORWARD AS I TRIED TO STEP DOWN ON THE BRAKE EVEN HARDER. AS SUDDENLY THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION STOPPED. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE FOUR PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WHO WITNESSED THIS EVENT AT THE TIME. *TR
