JUDDER AND VIBRATES AND MAKES BUZZING SOUND CONSTANTLY BUT INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER AND HONDA STATE THIS IS IN RELATION TO THE ECO FEATURE. RESEARCH BY ME INDICATES EITHER TORQUE CONVERTER AND/OR REAR MOTOR MOUNT NEEDS REPLACING. IT SEEMS THE ISSUE IS WORSENING AS I WAS TOLD BY MY HONDA SERVICE TECH THAT IT WILL GET WORSE THE MORE MILES DRIVEN. PRESENTLY HAS 40K MILES AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAR LOST POWER ON OPEN HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO HONDA SERVICE...(UNRELATED) TO VIBRATION ISSUE. DID A COMPUTER UPDATE AND THAT TOOK CARE OF POWER ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FROM WHEN IT WAS NEW. EVERY 3000 MILES THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE GONE BAD. THEY HAVE BEEN RESURFACED AND REPLACED BY HONDA 2 TIMES. EACH TIME THE ISSUE OF VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKES RECURRED. I HAVE SINCE RAN OUT OF WARRANTY (60K MILES ON THE ODO). AT 50K I REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS WITH AFTERMARKET. THOSE TOO HAVE WARPED. THE BRAKES FOR THIS VEHICLE ARE SIMPLY TOO SMALL AND OVERWHELMED OR THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY WRONG WITH THESE VANS. I SEE ALMOST HALF OF THE COMPLAINTS ARE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, YET HONDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT. HONDA QUALITY OF THE PAST SEEMS TO BE GONE AS ALL PRIOR HONDA'S WERE BULLET PROOF. THIS ONE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT EVERYONE HAS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VAN NEW (MAY 2012). AROUND 41,000 MILES (AUG 2014) HAD WARNING LIGHTS & CODES COME UP. HONDA REPLACED CYLINDERS 1-3 & WORK ORDER ALSO SHOWED SERVICE BULLETIN 13-081, REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN I SMELLED OIL & SAW A SMALL LEAK IN SEPT 2014. HONDA FOUND LEAKING VALVE COVER GASKET, REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. TOOK VAN TO FLORIDA. WHEN WE GOT THERE WE HAD TO TAKE THE VAN TO A HONDA SHOP FOR A LOW TONE KNOCKING NOISE WHILE IDLING AND LOUDER WHEN ACCELERATING. THEY HAD THE VAN FOR 4 DAYS. HONDA PROVIDED A FREE RENTAL. HONDA WROTE ON WORK ORDER. 43307 WORN CAMSHAFT LOBE CAUSING KNOCKING NOISE 36108, PERFORMED INSPECTION FOUND NOISE COMING FROM FRONT CYLINDER HEAD, CALLED TECHLINE, TECHLINE INSTRUCTED TO INSPECT FOR WORN CAM SHAFT, PULLED VALVE COVER FOUND CYLINDER #6 INTAKE LOBE WORN. REMOVED AND REPLACED FRONT CYLINDER HEAD CAMSHAFT & CAMSHAFT SEAL. NOISE GONE. IT ALSO RESPONDS BETTER WHEN PUSHING GAS PEDAL & GAS MILEAGE IMPROVED. I BET I HAVE HAD ABOUT $5000 WORTH OF WARRANTY WORK DONE AT THIS TIME JUST FROM UNDER THE HOOD. DURING ALL THIS, I CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU & HONDA WAS NOTIFIED. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO CORPORATE HONDA FROM THE BEGINNING ABOUT THIS VAN & THEY ALWAYS WOULD SAY THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. FINALLY I GET A CALL FROM CORPORATE HONDA TO TELL ME THEY FOUND NOTHING FROM MY VISIT INVOLVING REPLACEMENT OF MY CYLINDERS. BOY WAS HE MISINFORMED AND GOT AN EARFULL. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY FRONT ROTORS RESURFACED (35,657 MILES), GOT A GOODWILL WARRANTY. THEY SHOULD GIVE A GOODWILL WARRANTY WITH ALL THE HONDA VEHICLES WE HAVE BOUGHT. EACH VAN I BUY (1995, 2005, 2012) GETS WORSE AND LASTS FOR A SHORTER LENGTH OF TIME BEFORE I FEEL I CAN'T TRUST IT FOR A TRIP OUT OF TOWN. I AM STARTING TO EXPERIENCE LITTLE ISSUES AGAIN LIKE I DID WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS VAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED WITHOUT WARNING AND IT WOULD STOP ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING GLASS SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD NOT FAR FROM MY HOME. MY SON WAS SITTING BEHIND ME ON THE CAR SEAT. AND WHEN I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, I HEARD A HUGE BANG BEHIND ME AND THEN SUDDENLY MY SON'S CRYING! I LOOKED BEHIND ME AND SURPRISINGLY FOUND THAT THE SEAT BEHIND ME ON WHICH MY SON AND HIS CAR SEAT WAS SITTING FLIPPED OVER AND HIT MY SEAT IN THE BACK. MY SON'S FACE WAS INJURED AND BLEEDING. AND IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO HIS EYES. I WAS THINKING HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN! I WAS JUST AT A SPEED OF 25 MPH AND THE SEAT CAN FLIP OVER LIKE THAT. IF I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY OR HIGH WAY, WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT? IT'S TOO DANGEROUS! I CANNOT IMAGINE IT. DESPITE THE INJURY ON MY SON'S FACE, I DO THINK MY SON HAS MENTAL INJURY. AFTER THAT HAPPENED, HE WOKE UP AND CRIED SEVERAL TIMES DURING NIGHT. HOWEVER, HE WAS SUCH A GOOD SLEEPER BEFORE. AND HE WAS AFRAID TO TAKE ANY VEHICLE AGAIN. HE BECAME VERY INDEPENDENT SINCE THEN. THEREFORE, I REALLY THINK THERE IS MENTAL INJURY ON MY SON. *TR

TPM(TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR) LIGHT INDICATING LOW PRESSURE WHEN THERE IS NO ERROR. DEALER (SAN MARCO,TEXAS) CLAIMS THE ISSUE IS DUE TO CELL PHONE CHARGER INTERFERENCE WITH TPM SYSTEM. DEALER CLAIMS HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SENT OUT A SERVICE BULLETIN TO LIMIT THE CELL PHONE CHARGER TO LESS THAN TWENTY MINUTES TO PREVENT THE TPM FAULT CODE AND DASH LIGHT FROM BEING SET. IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPTION, HONDA AMERICA HAS WHAT IS KNOWN AS A 'CONDUCTIVE ELECTRO-MAGNETIC INTERFERENCE" ISSUE WITH THEIR SYSTEM. BASED ON WHAT HAS BEEN COMMUNICATED, I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELEMENTARY DESIGN FLAW WITH THEIR SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS EITHER THE TRANSMITTED ENERGY OR INTERNAL GENERATED SIGNALS OF CELL PHONE TO BE COUPLED INTO THEIR SYSTEM USING THE BATTERY LINES. *TR

MY 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU BRAKE AT HIGH SPEED INCLUDING THE STEERING WHEEL AS IF YOU WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE HAMILTON HONDA DEALER FOR FIRST TIME IN 28 SEP 2013 WHO RE-SURFACED THE FRONT ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY AT 12428 MILES. THE ISSUE WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 7000 MILES AND REAPPEARED AT 19963 MILES IN JULY 2014. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO THE SAME DEALER THEY AGAIN RE-SURFACED BOTH FRONT AND BACK ROTORS + BALANCED ALL WHEELS UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER THE ISSUE CAME BACK AGAIN IN 2700 MILES CURRENTLY AT 22645 MILES. THE MECHANIC WENT WITH ME FOR THE TEST DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO SHOW HIM HOW THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN YOU BRAKE IN SPEEDS EXCESS OF 55 MILES. THE DEALER CHECKED AND SAID ALL THE ROTORS ARE WITHIN SPECS AND CANNOT BE FURTHER RE-SURFACED. I NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF ISSUE IN ANY OF MY OTHER VEHICLES I OWNED SO FAR. THIS ISSUE IS SHOWING UP FOR 3RD TIME BUT IT IS MORE SEVERE NOW. WHAT IS MY WAY FORWARD SINCE AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT COMING BACK WITH ANY RESOLUTION EVEN AFTER COMPLAINING TO THEM (IT IS MORE THAN 9 BUSINESS DAYS TODAY). I REPORTED TO AMERICAN HONDA ON 22-OCT-2014 AFTER SERVICING FROM DEALER. *TR

THE FARTHEST REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT TORE IN HALF WHEN PULLED DOWN TO BE USED. WHEN INSPECTED IT WAS NOTED THAT THE PLASTIC NEAR THE CEILING THAT THE BELT ENTERS AND RETRACTS INTO WAS JAGGED AND SHARP. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS IN THIS VEHICLE AND NO KNOWN DAMAGE TO THAT AREA OF PLASTIC. THE AREA THAT IS JAGGED IS ALSO LOCATED IN A POSITION THAT DAMAGE TO THE AREA WOULD BE HARD TO DO FROM AN EXTERNAL FORCE AND APPEARS TO BE MORE LIKELY FROM THE NORMAL USE OF THE SEAT BELT RUBBING OVER THE PLASTIC. THE PLASTIC AREA AROUND THE JAGGED AREA DOESN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF WEAR OR DAMAGE EITHER. *TR
