2013 Honda Odyssey

I came to a stop at the stop sign and dropped off the my kids for PE at a local church. After the stop sign I went left going slowly because of kids in the area. I then went around a dark grey minivan that was pulled over on my right side of the road letting her kids out for PE. I then proceeded to take another left. I was pulling into the first parking space close to the PE field, with a fully turned steering wheel, as in doing a U turn. Since I was going slow my right foot was lightly pressing the brake. My minivan was in the parking spot and I was creeping closer to the concrete parking stop with my right foot pressing more down on the brake so I can come to a complete stop. I was about to place the car in park when the engine revved, the car jerked, it accelerated sending me up and over the curb and into the grassy median in front of the parking space and into a tree. The coaches and one other person came running to assist me since I was in shock. There was smoke coming out of the engine so I placed the minivan in park and shut the engine off. The airbags did not deploy.

Oil leaked onto sparkplug, and caused engine misfire. While driving on the expressway the vehicle started misfiring causing us to have to exit get the vehicle serviced. The service shop confirmed this issue happens with honda vehicles, and we observed a recall has been issued for this exact issue, but my VIN, for some reason, is not eligible. The check engine light flashed when this issue occurred.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, the engine misfired and the vehicle inadvertently stalled. The check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V382000 (Engine) however, the dealer replaced the piston rings instead of replacing the engine short block per the manufacturer's instructions. The contact stated that the engine had been misfiring and smoke had been coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the failure as oil leaking from the head gasket. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they could not assist because the recall history on the VIN did not show a recall that required the engine short block to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

We have been told by the dealership we purchased this vehicle from that there was an extension for issues with the piston rings going bad on this van. For some reason it is not included in this extension. The check engine light is flashing and the car is shaking violently. We’ve been told that the issue is oil getting into the cylinders causing misfires in the engine. At this point we are on our own to repair even though it is a wide spread issue with these vehicles.

My car engine light came on. I had towed to place of repair. They replaced valve cover gaskets and spark plug well gaskets. Within 2 months did it again. They replaced #3. In 3 months did it again and we found out a warranty extension was put in place but customers were not contacted. My car was in for 2 recalls but they did not catch this. The warranty extension is over and it is going to be costly to get it fixed. The more I checked into this it is a safety hazard on the car. I am asking for help and they are not willing to help. I lost my job and during COVID and live on my social security which is not much. I called asking for help and they said sorry.Is there any way you can help me.

VAN HAS THE BRAUN CONVERSION PACKAGE (WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE VAN). WHILE PARKED THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR FELL COMPLETELY OFF OF THE VAN AS IF WAS CLOSING. NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH THE DOOR. THE MOTOR TO THE WHEELCHAIR RAMP HAS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TWICE. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT RAMP MOTOR DID NOT LAST 18 MONTHS AND COST OVER $1800 TO REPLACE.

I WAS TOLD THE THE GEAR SYSTEM IN THE MOTOR GOES BAD OFTEN. THE DOOR STILL WORKS(UNTIL TODAY) WHEN YOU HIT THE BUTTON TO OPEN OR CLOSE.
