MY INSURANCE COMPANY BOUGHT THIS HONDA ODYSSEY EX 2014 VAN FOR ME TO BE MODIFIED FOR HANDICAPPED EQUIPMENT AS A REPLACEMENT. IT CHOSE AND DELIVERED THE VAN TO: BETTER LIFE MOBILITY CENTERS OF RIVERSIDE 7239 INDIANA AVE., RIVERSIDE CA 92504 9516863152, WHO THEN DISABLED MY STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS RESULTING IN DEFECTIVE TURN SIGNALS, HORN, LIGHTS ETC. NO NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO ME OF SUCH DISABLING OF THESE SAFETY EQUIPMENT AND THEY SIMPLY LEFT THE CONTROL FOR THE "TILT & TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN" IN A PLASTIC BAG ON THE CONSOLE. HONDA CARS OF CORONA (888) 568-0582 INFORMED ME THAT NO WARRANTY OR SERVICING OR DIAGNOSING OF THIS CAR WOULD BE MADE BY HONDA BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN MODIFIED FOR HANDICAPPED DRIVING WHICH VOIDED ALL WARRANTY OF ANY SHAPE OR FORM. IT APPEARS THAT "BETTER LIFE MOBILITY" HAS NOT COMPLIED WITH FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE DISABLING OF MY STEERING COLUMN, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS BUSINESS AND THEIR CONDUCT. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS VAN WAS $34,547.53 BEFORE MODIFICATIONS AND NOW IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR OF THE STEERING COLUMN , TURN SIGNALS AND RELATED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I HAVE DRIVEN WITH HAND CONTROLS FOR OVER 24 YEARS, AND HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS.. *TR

BARELY OVER 1 MONTH AGO I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS IS FIRST NEW VEHICLE I HAVE BOUGHT IN YEARS. BIG MISTAKE. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATION, THE VANS JERKS, SHUDDERS AND MAKE LOUD CLUNKING NOISES. AFTER I START THE VAN AND TRY TO ENGAGE IN REVERSE IT GOES NO WHERE...THE SAME THING STARTED HAPPENING WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE. I TOOK IT TOO THE DEALERSHIP THAT WEEKEND AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A COMPUTER UPDATE THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM... IT DIDN'T. TWO DAYS LATER I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM AND TOLD THEM IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE AND I WANTED IT FIXED. THAT WAS 2 WEEKS AGO. THAT IS 2 WEEKS THAT THEY HAVE HAD MY "NEW" VAN THAT I AM PAYING DEARLY FOR. THEY HAVE ADMITTED TO FEELING THE PROBLEMS AND CLAIM THEY CALLED THE HONDA TECH LINE WHO STATES I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE. NEXT WEEK THEY ARE INSTALLING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRY NEW THINGS UNTIL THEY FIND A SOLUTION. I LOVE THE FACT THAT I AM MAKING A PAYMENT FOR THEM TO PLAY WITH MY VAN AS THE TEST DUMMY. IF I WANTED A VAN WITH ALL THESE REPLACEMENTS I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN OLD ONE AND HAD EVERYTHING REBUILT AND SAVED ALOT OF MONEY AND TIME THAT A WORKING MOTHER OF 3 KIDS DOES NOT HAVE. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!! PLEASE DO YOU HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THIS YEAR MODEL OF VAN. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM DEALERSHIP SATURDAY EVENING THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. FRONT BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAL EXCESSIVELY LOUD WHEN STOPPING, BUT THE NOISE ALSO CONTINUED WHEN FOOT WAS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATING. WHEN FULLY STOPPED COULD SMELL BURNT BRAKE PAD. TOOK VEHICLE TO NEAREST HONDA DEALER ON MONDAY WHO EXAMINED THE FRONT BREAKS AND FOUND DRIVERS SIDE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER BRACKET INSTALLED INCORRECTLY (MISALIGNED) WHICH ALSO LEAD TO THE CALIPER BEING DAMAGED. SERVICE TECHNICIAN BELIEVED THIS TO BE AN ASSEMBLY DEFECT. DEALER WILL REPLACE PARTS AND CORRECT ISSUE UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. *TR

HAD BEEN DRIVING BRAND NEW 2014 ODYSSEY WITH 700 MILES ON IT WITHOUT INCIDENT. PARKED CAR AT THE GROCERY STORE. RETURNED 20 MINUTES LATER AND WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE LET ALONE TURN ON ACCESSORIES. DEALERSHIP CAME AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS ABLE TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND INDICATED THAT THE FACTORY INSTALLED BATTERY WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO HOLD A CHARGE. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE BATTERY OR WHY THE VEHICLE DID NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY. A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED AND ATT 500 MILES LATER THE VEHICLE HAS NOT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TRANSMISSION MAKES LOUD CLANKING NOISE AND SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY AT 10-20 MPH DURING ACCELERATION. ACCELERATION THROUGHOUT RANGE IS EXCEPTIONALLY SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT ENGAGE "PASSING GEAR" AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, MAKING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT LOW AND HIGHER SPEEDS. PROBLEM STOPS WHEN VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND RE-STARTED, BUT MAY REAPPEAR. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND STATES HONDA HAS HAD NO OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SAME. HOWEVER, I FOUND ALMOST EXACT SAME/SIMILAR COMPLAINT AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM WITHIN SECONDS OF SEARCHING. I SUSPECT IT'S HAPPENING TO MORE PEOPLE. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE FACT THIS VEHICLE IS VERY LIKELY TO BE USED FOR HAULING CHILDREN. *TR
