2014 Honda Odyssey

WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM A FAMILY TRIP TO OUR LOCAL MOUNTAINS, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHUTTER WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES. THE ELEVATION CHANGE FROM BIG BEAR, CALIFORNIA TO THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL IN HIGHLAND, CALIFORNIA IS APPROXIMATELY 5400 FEET. I WAS NOT "RIDING" THE BRAKES NOR WAS I SPEEDING. I ONLY APPLIED THEM TO APPROPRIATELY SLOW THE VEHICLE IN CURVES. I WAS CONCERNED ENOUGH THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFECTIVELY SLOW THE VEHICLE, OR CONTROL THE VEHICLE, THAT I PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS AND SAW NOTHING VISUALLY. WHEN RESUMING DOWN THE HILL, THE SHUTTERING WAS MUCH BETTER FOR A COUPLE OF CURVES AND THEN CONTINUED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO NURSE THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HILL, UNTIL THEY WERE MORE STRAIGHTAWAYS AND I NEEDED THE BRAKES LESS. THE SHUTTERING DIMINISHED UPON LESS USE/COOLING. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT OVERHEATING OF THE BRAKE ROTORS IS EXTREMELY COMMON ON MY HONDA VEHICLE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, SO MUCH SO THAT THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS FOR MY VEHICLE. THE REDESIGN INCLUDES ROTOR VENTS TO HELP KEEP THE ROTORS COOL. I FEEL THE DESIGN FLAW OF THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT ROTORS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA THROUGH A RECALL.

CAR HAS 53,000 MILES ON AND WHILE DRIVING IN SPEEDS ABOVE 30 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES AND IS WORSENS WITH INCREASED SPEEDS. THIS SHAKES MY ENTIRE BODY, STEERING COLUMN AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE WHEEL. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND BACK PADS AND HAD ROTORS TURNED AROUND 23K. ALL WORK DONE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR MAKING A TURN, THE SECOND ROW DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS FAILED TO LOCK IN PLACE AND INDEPENDENTLY SWAYED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER RELATED TO THE SEATS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

I OWN A 2014 HONDA ODYSEY, AND THE DRIVER DOOR SOMETIMES COME OPEN BY ITSELF WHEN I AM DRIVING. OTHER TIMES I CANNOT GET IN TO THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE I CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE, NOT EVEN USING THE REGULAR KEY. WHEN I PARKED MY VEHICLE, AND IF BY ANY CHANCE I AM ABLE TO LOCK THE VEHICLE DOORS, THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER THE DRIVER DOOR COME OPEN (NOT UNLOCK) BY ITSELF. I CANNOT LEAVE ANYTHING INSIDE THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE ANYONE CAN JUST GET IN. YESTERDAY, 20 MARCH 2017, AFTER I PARKED MY VEHICLE I WAS TRYING TO GET OUT AND I COULD NOT, BECAUSE I COULD NOT UNLOCK THE DRIVER DOOR. A VERY SCARY FEELING. I HAD TO JUMP TO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND GOT OUT OPENING THE BACK DOOR. THE REMOTE/SWITCH SOMETIMES WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL THE DOORS, AND THE HATCH, BUT WILL NOT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE OTHER DOORS AFTER I START THE CAR AND START DRIVING WOULD NOT LOCK AUTOMATIC LIKE IT SHOULD.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 AT LESS THEN 20,000 MILES I GOT GOT A VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN BREAKING TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND ALL THEY DID WAS RESURFACE THE ROTORS. NOW AT 33,000 THEY ARE DOING THE SAME THING. CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT IS NORMAL BRAKE WEAR. AFTER DRIVING FOR 40 YRS HOW OR WHAT TYPE OF MATERIAL IS HONDA USING FOR THEIR ROTORS NEVER HAPPENED ON ANY PAST CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. THIS IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT GOING TO HAPPEN. COMING DOWN A MOUNTAIN ROAD IS DANGEROUS LOOK INTO THIS.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-933 AND POSSIBLY DANGEROUS WINDSHIELD FRAME. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. REGARDING NHRSA RECALL 16V-933 AND WINDSHIELD APPARENTLY COMING APART FROM ITS FRAME. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. REFUSED TO DISCUSS THESE ISSUES WITH ME; REFERRED ME, INSTEAD TO A LOCAL DEALER. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA EAST DEALERSHIP, 702-369-3099, ONLY TO BE TOLD THE ALL TECHNICIANS WERE TOO BUSY WITH MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS, BUT THAT I COULD LEAVE MY PHONE NUMBER AND ONE WILL CALL ME WHEN ONE BECOMES FREE. THAT WAS YESTERDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 2017. AS OF THIS MORNING, MARCH 9, 2017, I10:33 AM, I HAVE RECEIVED NO PHONE CALL FROM HONDA EAST. HONDA CASE NO. 5766404.

CONTACTED "DAVE" AT HONDA TO INQUIRE WHETHER HONDA IS PREPARED TO DEAL WITH THE 2ND SEAT RECALL. THIS "CHAT" SESSION WITH "DAVE" IS A TOTAL FRAUD. TRY IT. DAVE DOES NOT EXIST. THE ONLY NOTICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM HONDA REGARDING THIS RECALL STATED THAT HONDA DID NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS. HONDA WEBSITE STATES THAT I MUST BRING MY VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE MY LIFE IS AT STAKE. YET HONDA CANNOT TELL ME THAT IT CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO, I NOTICED TODAY THAT THE BOTTOM WINDSHIELD SEAL OR SUPPORT THAT HOLDS THE WINDSHIELD IN PLACE HAS BUCKLED IN NUMEROUS PLACES AND IS ABOUT TO COME OFF ENTIRELY. THIS WOULD PERMIT WATER TO ENTER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND CREATE A DRIVING HAZARD. IT MIGHT ALSO PERMIT THE WINDSHIELD TO COME LOOSE. I SUSPECT THAT THIS IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT IS LIKELY A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE HONDA LINEUP. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SO I CANNOT ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
