2013 Honda Odyssey

I WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AT THE BACK SEAT, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON PARK, AND FOOT BREAK WAS ON. I WAS ON MY SISTER IN LAWS DRIVEWAY WHICH IS SLIGHTLY INCLINED, I WAS WAITING FOR MY HUSBAND WHO WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE, HOWEVER I DECIDED TO FOLLOW HIM. I WENT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO REACH THE KEY AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE; UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE STARTS ROLLING, I WAS KNOCKED DOWN BY THE OPENED DOOR AND FELL ON THE DRIVEWAY, WITH MY LEFT LEG/ MORE ON THE ANKLE AREA WAS RUN OVER BY THE FRONT WHEEL. THESE RESULTED WITH SEVERE BRUISE ON MY ANKLE, AND HUGE BUMP ON MY HEAD. THERE WAS NO WITNESS, HOWEVER THERE WAS A CAR THAT PASSED AND I I ASKED FOR HELP, THE DRIVER CALLED BY HUSBAND WHO IS INSIDE THE HOUSE, ALSO A NEIGHBOR CAME TO HELP AND CALLED 911. BY HUSBAND LOOKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHICH SLIDE TOWARDS THE FRONT NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICLE STOPPED, STILL ON "P" MODE AND FOOT BREAK IS STILL ON. THE VEHICLE ON P AND FOOT BREAK ON SHOULD NOT MOVE OR ROLL.

ON 2/22/2017, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE, SUDDENLY HESITATES AND STALLS. PROCEEDS TO THE NEAREST VEHICLE SERVICE LOCATION (NOT A HONDA DEALER). TECHNICIAN EVALUATES CODES (ALL MISFIRES - P0304, P0305, P0306 & P0300). INFORMS WIFE OF PISTON/ENGINE RECALL AND SERVICE BULLETINS. REPLACES 3 SPARK PLUGS TO MAKE VEHICLE DRIVABLE AND CLEARS CODES. ADVISES TO CONTACT HONDA DEALERSHIP. I CONTACT DEALERSHIP AND MAKE APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT MORNING (2/23). AFTER BRINGING IN VEHICLE, DEALER ADVISES THAT UNDER WARRANTY THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO DO REPAIR AS THE CODES WERE CLEARED BY 3RD PARTY AND ARE NOT SHOWING NOW. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL ISSUE ARISES AGAIN (NOT IF ISSUE ARISES, BUT WHEN ISSUE ARISES) AND TO HAVE IT BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. I EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED DEFECT, YET THEY WILL NOT REPAIR. I ALSO EXPRESSED THAT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT THE FAILURE WAS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED AND THAT IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN ABOARD AND THE FAILURE OCCURS IN TRAFFIC OR AS SHE IS MERGING OR ENTERING A ROADWAY, A CRASH CAN OCCUR. DEALER MAINTAINED POSITION THAT THEY WERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO DO THE WORK UNDER THE WARRANTY. CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT WORK WOULD NOT BE AUTHORIZED DUE TO 3RD PARTY CLEARING CODES. HONDA ASSIGNED CASE MANAGER AND CASE NUMBER ([XXX]) AND ADVISED THE SAME. I HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK TO SUPERVISORS, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO DATE. AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT, WITH A KNOWN REPAIR, AND HONDA'S REFUSAL TO ADDRESS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN. NOTICED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS LISTED AS NHTSA 10950032, 10907653, 10875963, 10682162, 10660226, 10588234, 10496891. DEALERSHIP IS HONDA KINGSPORT (TN).

I HAD JUST TAKEN A SHORT DRIVE AND WAS BACKING THE VEHICLE BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO ACT LIKE IT HAD A MISFIRE. THIS HAPPENED AT JUST OVER 60,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER (JENKINS & WYNNE OF CLARKSVILLE, TN) TO SEE IF THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL ON THE ISSUE OR IF IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. THEY CHECKED OUT MY VAN AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COMMON RECALL FOR MY MODEL WHICH WAS A FOULED SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER FOUR DUE TO THE PISTON RINGS ALIGNING AND CAUSING OIL TO ENTER THE CHAMBER AND CAUSE THE SPARK PLUG TO FOUL. THIS ALSO EXPLAINS WHY I USE SO MUCH OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. HOWEVER, WHEN THEY ENTERED MY VIN INTO THE COMPUTER, MY VEHICLE DOES NOT COME UP AS COVERED UNDER THE 8 YEAR UNLIMITED MILLAGE RECALL THEY HAD FOR THIS PROBLEM. SO I TALKED TO TWO DIFFERENT PERSONNEL AT AMERICA HONDA TO SEE IF I COULD GET THIS PROBLEM RECTIFIED WITH OUT ME SPENDING OVER $2,000 OUT OF POCKET. SINCE IT IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ON THE VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY WERE NO HELP IN FIXING MY PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS OF COLORADO WHILE ON VACATION OUR STEERING WHEEL WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND VIBRATING WHILE BRAKING DOWNHILL. THIS WAS VERY SCARY FOR OUR FAMILY FROM ILLINOIS TO EXPERIENCE. WE SCHEDULED IMMEDIATE REPAIRS AT THE SHOP NEAREST US ON 6/22/2015 WITH 36,206 MILES ON OUR HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAD NEW ROTORS ON FRONT AND REAR REPLACED AND FRONT BRAKES $685. UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP TO SEE FAMILY IN MICHIGAN WE AGAIN EXPERIENCED SHAKING OF THE STEERING WHEEL UPON BRAKING. ON 12/2/2016 57,428 MILES WE AGAIN HAD TO PAY FOR REAR ROTORS AND BRAKES. WE HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THE FREQUENCY OF REPAIRS (WE TRUST OUR REPAIR GUY) IN ANY OF OUR OTHER VEHICLES (FORDS AND CHEVYS). OUR VAN IS USUALLY DRIVEN AROUND TOWN WITH KID'S ACTIVITIES. EXPRESSWAY AND HIGH SPEED DRIVING IS LIMITED. THIS IS OUR FIRST HONDA. THEN ON 12/10/2016 WITH 57,569 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT AND VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) LIGHT STAYS ON. TURNS OUT SPARK PLUGS 1 AND 2 FOULING..I'M SEEING THERE ARE COMPLAINTS HERE ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES. I CONTACTED HONDA REGARDING THE SPARK PLUGS AND THEY SAID THERE IS AN EXTENSION TO COVER THIS IF I WENT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. I HOPE THIS IS TRUE AND IT WORKS OUT, REPAIRS ARE EXPENSIVE AND WE WANT TO BE SAFE!
