2014 Honda Odyssey

WE GOT HIT BY A DODGE RAM TRUCK WITH A TRAILER ON THE LEFT SIDE (DRIVER SIDE) AT AN INTERSECTION ("T"). WE WERE CROSSING THE INTERSECTION NORTHBOUND WHEN THE TRUCK CROSSING THE SAME INTERSECTION NORTHEAST BOUND ( TURNING LEFT AT INTERSECTION) DIRECTLY HIT THE LEFT SIDE OF OUR VAN PUSHING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IN AND CRUSHING THE DRIVER SIDE GLASS WINDOW. DESPITE THE IMPACT, SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PERFORM THREE-POINT TURN TO PARK IN GARAGE. SLOWLY (<5MPH) APPROACHING END OF FIRST ARC, I PRESSED THE BRAKES TO STOP. IT WAS SNOWING AND SLIPPERY, AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT SKID OF VEHICLE. I PRESSED HARDER ON BRAKES TO STOP, WHICH RESULTED IN REVVING OF THE ENGINE AND CRASH OF VEHICLE INTO WALL/GARAGE SUPPORT. I LOOKED DOWN TO CONFIRM MY FOOT WAS ONLY CONTACTING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO COMPREHEND WHAT HAD JUST OCCURRED. I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE TO COMPLETE 2ND ARC OF THREE-POINT TURN, AND COMPLETED PARKING IN THE GARAGE.

EXPLODING SUN ROOF. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON EXPRESSWAY TRAVELING EAST. LOUD EXPLOSION HEARD OVER VEHICLE. AFTER PULLING OVER AN INSPECTION REVEALED THAT SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED, BUT DUE TO INTERIOR COVER CLOSED NO GLASS FELL INSIDE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO A REPAIR SHOP AFTER REPORTING INCIDENT TO INSURANCE COMPANY. REPAIR SHOP TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT HE HAD RECENTLY ENCOUNTERED SAME SITUATION ON A 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN WITH A DAMAGED SUN ROOF WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE JUST POPPED OFF. HAVE CONTACTED HONDA DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE IF COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

I WENT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY MOM'S MINIVAN USING THE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE DOOR WHEN FUNTIONING NORMALLY IS SUPPOSED TO OPEN FULLY WHEN THE HANDLE IS PULLED UPON. INSTEAD THE WHEN DOOR WAS HALFWAY OPEN, IT STARTED TO CLOSE. THE DOOR THEN TO HIT AND CRUSH MY ARM. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT INJURED. THE CAR WAS PARKED ON OUR CONCRETE DRIVEWAY AND WAS TURNED OFF.

THE REARVIEW CAMERA OF MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 ETOURING MINIVAN BLACKS OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I AM PARALLEL PARKING, WHICH INVOLVES SHIFTING GEARS QUICKLY IN AND OUT OF REVERSE AND DRIVE. ONCE THE SCREEN BLACKS OUT, IT SAYS BLACK UNLESS I RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT GETS STRESSFUL WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY STREET WITH CARS WAITING BEHIND YOU AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE REAR OF THE CAR. I PURCHASED A CAR WITH A REARVIEW CAMERA SPECIFICALLY ON PURPOSE DUE TO MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN ADDITIONAL TO LIVING ON A STREET WITH A K-1ST GRADE SCHOOL WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC WITH YOUNG KIDS. THIS IS MY SECOND VEHICLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND BOTH CARS DEMONSTRATED THE REARVIEW CAMERA BLACKOUT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE HONDA AND MY LOCAL DEALER INSTRUCTED BY HONDA NOW REFUSES TO TAKE IN MY CAR TO REGISTER OR RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHERE A LARGE MINIVAN FAILS TO PROVIDE A FULLY RELIABLE AND FUNCTIONING REARVIEW CAMERA WHICH IS LEGALLY REQUIRED TO DO SO BY 2018 ANYWAYS. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT OR FULLY SOLVE THIS RECURRENT PROBLEM ON MANY DIFFERENT DATES.

WE BOUGHT A 2014 HONDA ODESSEY IT'S STARTED JERKING WHEN IT WAS 7500 MILES WHILE DRIVING IN SURFACE STREET IN HENDERSON, NV WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER HAVE IT FIXED THEY SAID THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE THEN STARTED JERKING AGAIN FOR THE 2ND TIME WHEN IT WAS 2700 MILES THAT ALMOST CAUSE US INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING TO LOS ANGELES. WE HAD IT TOWED ON 11/29/15 BY AAA FROM LA TO OC IN OUR HOTEL BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS IN IT. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE JERKS COMES AND GO EVERYTIME WE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY KEEP SAYING IT NEEDS AN SOFTWARE UPDATE THEY KEPT OUR CAR AT THE DEALER FOR 2 DAYS THIS TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AGAIN. WE LIVED IN LAS VEGAS NOW WE ARE AFRAID TO MAKE A LONG TRIPS BECAUSE WE FEEL LIKE THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE ENOUGH FOR MY FAMILY. THEY CAN'T JUST KEEP UPDATING SOFTWARE ON THEIR TRANSMISSION EVERYTIME THE VAN JERKS. PLUS WE NEVER KNOW WHEN THE JERKS IS GOING TO START AND STOP ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE FAR AWAY FROM HOME. THIS IS NOT RELIABLE AND UNSAFE. THE HONDA NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMERS.

AT 29,000 MILES, MARCH OF 2015, ROTORS HAD TO BE RE-SURFACED. AT THAT TIME MECHANIC STATED THEY WHERE HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH ODYSSEY ROTORS AS THE ROTOR WAS TOO SMALL FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE ODYSSEY. MECHANIC AND SERIVE WRITER STATED THAT ALL IT TOOK TO WRAPP ROTORS WAS ONE SEMI-HARD STOP. DEALER RE-SURFACE ROTOR UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE BRAKE PADS THAT HAD A GROOVE IN THEM FROM WRAPPED ROTOR. NOW AT 44,000 MILES, NOV.3, 2015, ROTORS ARE WRAPPED AGAIN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF BY REPLACING ROTORS WITH A HEAVY DUTY ROTOR AND NEW BRAKE PADS.

I LEASED MY 2014 ODYSSEY ON JUNE 2014. I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT ITS JERKING, THOSE LOUD CLUNK DURING SHIFT TO 1ST TO 2ND GEAR STARTED YESTERDAY EVENING WHEN I DROVE HOME WITH MY WIFE FROM AIRPORT IN STOP AND DRIVE TRAFFIC. THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BETWEEN 10-20 MILES PER HOUR. IT CONTINUED TO JERK AND CLUNK FOR 10 MILES AS I DROVE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MADE OUR HEARTS BEAT AS IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS GOING TO FALL OUT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER NEXT DAY MORNING AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AS NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES CAME UP. THEY CANNOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE ISSUE NOW. I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO THEM AS SOON AS THE PROBLEM OCCUR. THEY ONLY DID SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR ME AT THAT TIME, HOPE IT WILL HELP. FOR ONE YEAR OLD 12000 MILEAGE CAR, I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE REASON I CHOSEN HONDA ODYSSEY WAS ITS SAFETY RATE. NOW I FELT UNSAFE IN THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH MY TWO KIDS. I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE NOW! HOPING NHTSA HELP US PUSHING HONDA TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE TERRIBLE THINGS HAPPEN.

AT ROUGHLY 35,000, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED RESURFACING. I'VE OWNED MULTIPLE CARS AND NEVER HAD A BRAKE ISSUE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. CAR SHAKES EXCESSIVELY UPON BREAKING AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT - IT IS WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE IN MANY HONDAS AND WHICH COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS.
