We tried to start our van early Saturday morning 6/15/13 and it was completely dead. After jumping it, we realized we hadn't left any lights on so we drove it to the nearest Honda dealership. We were told there's been a rash of this issue recently and to just make sure we turn off the air conditioner before turning off the engine and we should be okay. We drove 2 hours away from home and stayed overnight. The next morning the car didn't start again even though we had turned off the air conditioner. We bought a new battery for the car thinking it was the battery. The next weekend the car died again. This time we took it back to the dealer. They told us that the A/C compressor relay was stuck and caused the A/C system to over pressurize releasing freon into the atmosphere and discharging our battery. The dealer said that this has been a recall in other models but not our van. I feel that, although we were not in immediate danger, this should be a recall for the Odyssey and all other owners should be made aware of the issue.

After starting the vehicle and driving a short distance down the road at about 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly began slowing hard and the brake pedal went stiff as it applied it's own brakes. The event occurred over only a second or two before the brakes released and the car could accelerate again. However, moments later, the brakes applied again and promptly slowed the car down to a halt, again over a matter of a couple of seconds. During both occurrences, after immediately switching from the accelerator pedal to the brake pedal found the brake pedal impossible to press until the event passed.

2008 Honda Odyssey suddenly stopped in the middle of road in cold winter evening with all alarm lights in the dash board on, and could not start. It didn't respond to even jump start. All dashboard lights were on about an hour and eventually all out. Police showed up at the scene and urged to tow the car and leave the site due to danger. Unfortunately, he didn't issue a report for this. The vehicle was towed to dealer to check with my own expense. Dealer mechanic checked it next day and he said the battery failed and replaced under warranty. After replacing the battery, everything was working fine and couldn't find anything else wrong, he said. I asked if there's a recall for this and answered no. He said that he saw this kind of issue a few times before. I don't understand that then why it is not recalled yet. It is dangerous and could kill my family if there's a car behind. It is only 2yr and 4M old now and has 33,000 miles. This is the first time experiencing this.

I own a 2008 Honda Odyssey purchased in 2009. A couple of months after we purchased the brand new mini van, the accelerator /throttle stuck as I was driving my children to school, ( the throttle kicked on somewhere between 30 & 40 mph). The brakes were not slowing us down much at all as the engine raced ( foot was off the gas pedal) and we nearly crashed in the elementary school parking lot. ( I put the van in neutral and turned off the engine along with the emergency brake to get us to stop.) we towed the car to Honda & they had it for four days. I did not want it back ! Honda said they could not reproduce the problem and that the computer sensors didn't track the disturbance. We ended up paying out of our own pocket for a completely new computer system to be installed. ( we have the old computer part.) we reported this to Honda. I am writing to tell you about this because Toyota is not the only car with an acceleration problem ! our Honda dealer swept it under the rug but I am sure there has to be other Honda owners who have had the life threatening same issue.
