2014 Honda Odyssey

WHILE THIS ISN'T A REAL "SAFETY" ISSUE, HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERRED ME HERE TO COMPLAIN. THERE IS AN EXISTING EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PEELING 2014 ODYSSEY WHITE PEARL PAINT, BUT ONLY FOR THE ROOF AND LIFTGATE. THE PAINT ON MY VEHICLE IS PEELING THERE... BUT ALSO ON THE UPPER PORTION OF ONE OF THE SLIDING DOORS. IT IS PEELING OFF OF THE PRIMER IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS THE OTHER AREAS, AND ACTUALLY STARTED PEELING THERE FIRST, BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AGAIN, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE... JUST AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER COMPLAINT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. EXITED THE NEXT EXIT AND TOOK TOOK THE VAN TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, DUE TO BEING FOULED, AND ALSO COIL PACK FOR CYLINDER 3, DUE TO MISFIRE CODE ON CYLINDER 3. WITHIN A MONTH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SHUDDER AND FLASHING CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT. TOOK THE VAN IN TO MY MECHANIC AND THE CODE SHOWED MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 3. HE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG DUE TO THE FOULING OF THE NEW PLUG AND SAVED IT FOR ME TO PRESENT TO HONDA. HE ALSO SWITCHED COIL PACK 2 WITH COIL PACK 3. HE ADVISED ME OF HONDA TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 13-081 AND EXPLAINED THE BUILD DATE OF OUR ODYSSEY WAS LISTED AS 08/13 AND WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY EXTENSION THAT HONDA WAS EXTENDING TO THE 11-13 MODELS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AS WE WERE EXPERIENCING. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATION AND THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME OUR VAN WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION AND AS PROBLEMS CONTINUED TO ARISE TO CONTINUE WHAT WE WERE DOING AND FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR MECHANIC (WHO HAS ADVISED ME TO NOW GET RID OF VEHICLE DUE TO HONDA'S POSITION) AND THAT IN THE TECHNICIAN'S OPINION FUEL INJECTORS WOULD PROBABLY BE THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION.

I WAS DRIVING 70MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WAS NO IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AND THERE WERE NO ODORS PRESENT SO I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TOWARDS THE NEXT EXIT. ABOUT .5MI AWAY FROM THE EXIT, THE ABS, FCW, LDW, AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON, THE AIR CONDITIONER AND CONSOLE TURNED OFF, AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED. THIS PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE ESSENTIALLY LOST POWER. THE LOCAL DEALER DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS AN OIL LEAK IN THE SPOOL VALVE THAT THEN DESTROYED THE ALTERNATOR AND FRIED THE BATTERY. THE MANUFACTURER (HONDA) RECENTY ISSUED TSB 20-023 DETAILING THE PROBLEM AND REPAIR PROCEDURE, BUT IT WAS LIMITED TO THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK, NOT ANY OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT WERE DAMAGED. MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE INCIDENT LEADS ME TO BELIEVE A FIRE COULD HAVE BROKEN OUT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK ONTO THE OTHER ENGINE COMPONENTS.

2014 HONDA ODYSSEY, PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2014 AND ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT, RANDOMLY OPENS ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOM. I KNOW IF THE REMOTE UNLOCK BUTTON IS HELD DOWN, ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND SUNROOM WILL OPEN, BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO ONE TOUCHING THE BUTTON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 30 TIMES NOW, I GO OUT TO MY VAN AND EVERYTHING IS OPENED UP. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES NOW WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN CAUSING WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *TR

I HAVE A PEARL WHITE 2014 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE PAINT IS PEELING UNDER THE BACK GLASS WINDOW NEAR THE WIPER BLADES, DUE TO MANUFACTURE POOR JOB OF PAINTING . THIS WAS REPORTED FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL AND COLOR. THIS US A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM SINCE PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING AND FRUSTRATED THAT IT'S NOT TAKEN CARE BY HONDA. I'VE TRIED BACK IN MAY 2020 WITH AN EMAIL TO HONDA AND ASKED TO TAKE A LOOK BUT WAS NEVER CALLED BACK. I DIDN'T WANT TO GO IN BC OF COVID 19. VERY DISAPPOINTED. I HAVE A 2004 PILOT, NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH PAINT PEELING FOR NO REASON . *TR

A FEW YEARS AGO, THE HONDA ODYSSEY 2014 WAS MAKING SHIFTING NOISES AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. HONDA SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND UPGRADED THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR FREE. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE LAST YEAR OR TWO (ABOUT 85,000-125,000) IT SOUNDED LIKE AN ENGINE BREAK WHEN COASTING DOWN FROM SPEED (LIKE THE ENGINE WAS SHIFTING DOWN AND SLOWING THE CAR). TODAY (APRIL 17, 2020) IT BEGAN TO BUCK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN SHIFTED WITH MORE BUCKING WHEN STARTING BACK UP FROM A STOP. SEEMS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY

WHILE DRIVING, I WAS INTERMITTENTLY USING THE SEAT WARMERS (TOGGLING BETWEEN THE HIGH, LOW, AND OFF SETTINGS.) UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE BACK OF MY LEGS FELT VERY SORE AND IRRITATED. THE NEXT MORNING, IT WAS EVIDENT I HAD SECOND DEGREE BURNS, WHICH WAS CONFIRMED 2 DAYS LATER BY A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL, WHO TREATED ME FOR THE BURNS.
