2015 Honda Odyssey

WHEN ACCELERATING NORMALLY, A SHAKING, SLUGGISH SENSATION BEGINS IN 2ND GEAR GOING THROUGH 3RD. IF I SETTLE OUT WITHIN ONE OF THE GEARS, IT GOES AWAY. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M ACCELERATING. THE SPEEDS WHEN IT OCCURS RANGE FROM 20-40 MPH. IF I WERE TO TRULY STEP ON IT, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO GET WORSE, IT ACTUALLY ALMOST DISAPPEARS. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE POST IT UP. DONT WANT IT GETTING WORSE AND CAUSING INJURIES BUT IF IT DOES, THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS WE PARKED OUR MINIVAN IN OUR PARKING SPOT BEHIND OUR HOUSE. WHILE GETTING OUT OF THE MINIVAN THERE WAS AN ODOR AND A TINY BIT OF SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER WAITING A COUPLE MINUTES THE SMOKE SEEMED TO GO AWAY. WE LEFT THE MINIVAN PARKED AND ABOUT 10-20 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED ON FIRE AND WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM OUR NEIGHBORS THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN CALLED AND THEY WERE PUTTING OUT THE FIRE. I AM UPLOADING A PICTURE OF THE BURNT MINIVAN AND THE LAST SERVICE RECORD FOR A REGULAR OIL CHANGE ON 12/29/2018

WHEN USING THE PUSH BUTTON TO START MY CAR THE CAR RANDOMLY WON'T START. LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH BUT THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT IDENTIFY ANYTHING WRONG. I HAVE CHILDREN AND HAVING A CAR THAT WON'T START RANDOMLY MAKES MY DAY REALLY STRESSFUL. I NEVER KNOW IF MY TRIP TO RUN ERRANDS, GET GROCERIES OR TO PICK UP MY KIDS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY MY CAR NOT STARTING. THIS CAR IS REALLY UNRELIABLE IN ITS CURRENT STATE. WHAT FRUSTRATES ME THE MOST IS HONDA HAD A RECALL THAT ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM IN OLDER MODELS YET MY CAR MODEL AND YEAR HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED.

DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENED SUDDENLY AND MAKE CONTINOUS BEEPING SOUND EVENTHOUGH I DID NOT OPEN IT. CABLE WIRE CAME OFF AND NOW IT IS CLOSED AND DO NOT OPEN. CONTACTED HONDA BUT AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AS 41,000 MILES. I SAW ON TV THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS HAS CREATED SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, WITHOUT PROVOCATION, OUR MOONROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BALLOON EXPLODING IN OUR EARS. IT SHATTERED INTO TINY PIECES AND WE QUICKLY PULLED THE SUNSHADE BEFORE THE GLASS COULD CRASH INTO THE CAR. WE WERE GOING 72 MILES AN HOUR, THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE AROUND US AND WE WERE NOT GOING UNDER ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE DROPPED DEBRIS ON THE CAR.

ON AUGUST 20, 2017, DRIVING ON I-77 NORTH TOWARDS CHARLOTTE, NC HEARD A POP AND EXPLOSION ON TOP OF OUR VAN OUTSIDE STATESVILLE, NC. PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED OUR SUNROOF/MOONROOF WAS SHATTERED. FORTUNATELY, THE INTERIOR COVER WAS CLOSED AND DID NOT HAVE ANY GLASS FALL ON US. THAT DAY WE CONTACTED OUR CAR INSURANCE COMPANY, USAA, AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AT ABRA AUTO BODY & GLASS - INDEPENDENCE, 2033 MARGARET WALLACE ROAD, MATTHEWS, NC 28105. THE ADJUSTER, JON WULF, COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS HAPPENED AND THAT THERE WAS NO ROCK FOUND WHEN THEY REPAIRED THE SUNROOF. THIS PAST WEEKEND MY WIFE, LINDA, HEARD A NEWS REPORT ON "EXPLODING SUNROOFS," AND I FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE INTERNET. I AM REPORTING OUR INCIDENT SO THAT OTHERS MAY NEVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR ON AN INTERSTATE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED BY FLYING GLASS AND COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM AFRAID IT WILL TAKE A DEATH BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE TO PROTECT AMERICAN DRIVERS. I DO HAVE THE AUTO BODY REPORT AS PROOF THIS HAPPENED.

THE VAN HAS POWER SLIDING DOORS. EVER SINCE IT WAS NEW, WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS NOT CLOSING. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES BY THE DEALER THAT IT IS BECAUSE WE LIVE ON GRAVEL. I FINALLY TOOK THE VAN APART MYSELF AND FOUND THAT THE RUBBER COATING HAD COME OFF THE CABLE THAT CLOSES THE DOOR AND BUNCHED UP AND WOULD LET IT SLIDE FREELY. I BOUGHT A NEW AND WITHIN A MONTH IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. THE COATING WAS COMING OFF. WE JUST TOOK IT BACK TO HONDA AND WERE TOLD AGAIN IT WAS DUST BUT THE COATING IS COMING OFF THE OTHER SIDE AND JAMMING IT UP TOO. MY WIFE HIT A DEER RECENTLY AND THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. THE POWER DOOR WOULDN'T SLIDE AND WHEN YOU PUT IT ON MANUAL MODE WHICH SHUTS THE DOORS OFF, IT WON'T SLIDE EITHER AND MY WIFE HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE FRONT SEAT AND GET MY SON OUT OF HIS SEAT. IF THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. WORST PART, MY WIFE SAYS THAT IT HAS NEVER WORKED AND SHE ASKED HONDA ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE LIVE ON GRAVEL. NOW THAT OUR WARRANTY IS UP, THEY WANT TO SELL US A BUNCH OF NEW PARTS. I JUST ASK THAT SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FACTOR. I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE PRETTY STRONG AND I CAN'T SIT ON THE INSIDE THE VAN AND FORCE IT OPEN SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY KIDS WOULD DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO MY WIFE IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT.
