2017 Honda Odyssey

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that after exiting the vehicle and pressing the buttons to lock the doors, the front driver’s side door locked and immediately unlocked, failing to remain secured. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 80,000.

On two separate occasions, while unattended and sitting in my garage, the vehicle seemed to be attempting to start by itself. Instrument panel warning lights were all flashing on and off with ignition clicking. The key fob was nowhere near the vehicle. I started the vehicle but then WAS UNABE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF by pressing the ignition button. ALSO FEARED THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. Had to pull the fuel pump fuse to do so. A local Honda dealership diagnosed (by reviewing Honda's service library) as a faulty ignition control unit and replaced at a cost of $1,100.00.

While driving, the battery indicator light illuminated. Suddenly, the power turned off. The vehicle could be steered and brakes used, only. Then, as quickly as the power turned off, it restored and momentarily powered the accelerator. Then the power stopped again. The lights within the cabin and on the dash flickered and chimed like they were possessed. Then nothing. When the power would flicker on, the engine/transmission would "catch" and jerk the vehicle. Fortunately, I coasted to my residence without an auto accident. I reported this issue to Williamsburg Honda who will address the issue tomorrow when the vehicle is towed there. I was at risk along with my two school-aged children for a deadly auto accident since the power to the vehicle was lost. I have to use another vehicle and am uncertain of my trust for the van with myself and my family after this terrifying incident.

The contact owns a 2017 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the alarm activated, and the contact attempted to turn off the alarm; however, the alarm failed to deactivate. The alarm went off for several hours before stopping. The contact stated that several days later while attempting to start the vehicle, the battery had been completely drained. The battery was replaced under warranty. The failure reoccurred; and the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective hood latch. The vehicle was repaired. The failure reoccurred and the vehicle was then diagnosed with alternator failure. The vehicle was repaired. The contact attempted to exit the vehicle several months later after turning off the vehicle however, the doors failed to open. The contact attempted to start the vehicle again; however, the vehicle failed to start, and the contact was locked inside the vehicle. The contact waited for several minutes to turn the vehicle on, and the vehicle started, and the contact was able to exit the vehicle. The vehicle was at the dealer but was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Engine coils repaired several times, most recently van lost power while going uphill with my entire family in the vehicle. My husband applied brakes and emergency brake and we all exited the van. We were on vacation and took to local dealership where could were replaced again! 3 weeks later. Most recently we are having issues with keyless entry module and van loses power and won’t start. Absolutely ridiculous. Van is only 5 years old. Will never buy another Honda
