This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Misfiring, I have had to change the spark plugs and coils multiple times. I have contact Honda in Green Bay wi and Appleton wi, they have told me the recall has expired. We just bought this car this year from a none Honda dealership used. Had this problems days after getting it.
The power door was not shutting correctly. A 5 year old was getting into the car when the door decided to shut. It hit her, and then reopened. When it reopened, the door went off the tracks and fell on my husband. Now the door is completely off the tracks and the body of the car is messed up.
a cable on the automatic sliding door snapped while normally opening door with my fob. The door would no longer work automatically. Both automatic doors have been sensitive to weather changes and won't open sometimes, before the cable snapped.
Was driving normal started missing and sputtering really bad jerking violenty check engine light started flashing barely was able to get safely off the road. Got back home ight goes off and drives normal few days later same thing happened again.
When stationary, the van's power sliding doors were struggling to close; it would frequently start, and then pop back open. We took it to the Honda dealership, who said they couldn't find any problems except that the tracks were dirty, but offered no suggestions on how to fix this (also we could see no debris to validate this claim). We continued to use doors with difficulty until there was a loud pop on the driver's side, and suddenly a cable was hanging out. Motor could still be heard, but would no longer operate door with buttons, so we closed it manually for several months. One day while opening or closing manually, the whole door came off of the track and could not get it back on ourselves. We had to have someone ride in the back, holding the door closed enough to get to a shop, where they put it back on the track for $400. This did not restore it to motorized functioning, but allowed us to use it manually, though a significant amount of exterior damage to our vehicle was caused in the process of putting it back into place. We continued to use the door manually until we could afford to have the motor replaced on the broken door. Within 24 hours of replacement, the initial issues reappeared on that door, and the passenger sliding door is also having frequent difficulties. They now both struggle with both opening and closing. We recently had to leave the vehicle standing open in a parking lot while we went into a business after trying half a dozen times to use the power close while pushing on the door manually. We purchased this vehicle specifically for the convenience of power doors for our growing family, but I'm truly concerned that I'm going to be stranded in the heat with 4 small children because we can't get the door to close. Dealership is now quoting us $3K to do additional repairs while claiming they're not totally sure what the issue is.
I was driving/exiting a parking garage onto a street into traffic. Suddenly, the panel lights and and cabin lights started flashing and the radio and ac cut off, and immediately after, the car cut off and I coasted, through cars moving at speed, to the side of the road. The car was in motion on a city street. At the Honda dealership they took a few days to contact me, then told me I need to pay $800 for a battery cable before they diagnose any issues with the alternator.
This vehicle had issue on electrical system. This vehicle is about 100K miles and had been chaning 3 batteries and it mean that 4ht baterry installed on this vehicle. Lucas Honda dealer changed three times plus original battery. As per spoken to lucas Honda customer service for the battery problem. Customer said; "there is normal". I did not bring this vehicle for third times because I think I will hear same as it "normal". I have young kid and I hope this vehicle will not break down on interstate or mountain, or middle of traffic. I would like your advice so the issue should be fix.
The window molding/trim in our van has started deteriorating on both sides of the windows. It is highly unusally for this to happen, despite the age of the vehicial. Please check the photos.
In a store parking lot, the minivan was shut off and parked, my husband took the keys and locked me in the minivan, not knowing I would have no way out of the minivan. I waited in the minivan perhaps 10 minutes. Then, I tried to leave through the passenger door. The door would not unlock, both manually moving the unlock switch nor hitting the unlock button. Instead the car alarm went off. I then tried to lower the power window on the passenger door, but it did not work. I then tried to exit the driver door. It was locked. The manual switch and automatic door unlock button would not work. I tried to open the driver window through the power control button and it did not open. I tried to open the power sunroof. It did not open. I hit the open trunk button, it did not open. I tried the side sliding doors and they did not unlock. I made sure the child safety lock was off and retried all of the aforementioned items and nothing unlocked. I was trapped in my minivan on a warm day. I was sweating. I checked the owners manual and tried everything in it, but none of it worked. The minivan car alarm remained on for a few minutes and no one would help walking by, probably because of the car alarm. After another few minutes, someone came to the minivan and I asked them for help as best I could. They gave a description of my minivan/plate to the nearby store and they found my husband over the store intercom. He came out and unlocked me with the keys. I was trapped in the minivan for around 20 minutes altogether. If no one would have luckily walked by, I would have been trapped longer. I am scared my kids could get trapped in the minivan or I could get trapped again.
Drivers side heated seated no longer works. It is likely a continuity issue with heating element in seat back wire breaking. Online forums suggest a widespread issue yet Honda fails to recall. Dealers want $500-700 to repair.
I stopped at a T-intersection and turned right. As soon as I made the turn, the vehicle suddenly began shifting oddly. It was going to very high rpms before it would shift. I immediately checked the temperature gauge, but the engine was not overheating. We were on a mountain road so I began looking for a place to pull over. I checked my rear view mirror and saw the car behind me flashing their lights and honking their horn. At that point I noticed smoke in the rear view. I immediately stopped the car and as soon as I did, the front of the vehicle went up in flames. My pregnant wife and I got our three little children out of the car extremely quickly and they got back down the road a ways to get away from the burning vehicle. I began throwing car seats and other things out of the car as quickly as possible, but within two minutes after I stopped the car, the flames were to big to be anywhere near it. The car burned extremely fast and the fire was extremely hot, completely destroying the car.
I went to a car wash on 8/9/2017 with attendants. When the car came out to be buffed the employees pulled the car over to be inspected. They said the sun/moon roof had shattered. After much discussion as to any problems such as rocks or other injuries I called my dealer which was nearby. I drove it there after the hole in the roof was somewhat secured by plastic and tape. The dealership made no mention of other problems of a sun roof. They said they could fix it. I ordered a new sun roof which is to be delivered tomorrow. I was not made aware that this was a known problem in other cars with sun roofs until searching the internet the next day. Hole is taped now so will get pictures when I get to the dealership tomorrow, 8/11/2017.
The positive battery cable became disconnected from the battery terminal post while driving at full highway speed (75 mph)!! this resulted in complete electrical failure. I was able to pull off the road, but the door locks were locked and inoperable. Without power I was unable to unlock the doors or roll down the windows. Without power I had no air conditioning. I was trapped in the car on a hot day. The battery cable mismatch (clamp too big to tighten completely on post) is a known Odyssey problem that has been discussed on online forums. Door auto-locking problems in a variety of Honda models have also been documented. Putting the two together is a deadly mix. Without a cell phone to call my husband and 911, I and my three small dogs would have died in the hot car. This is a fatal design flaw.
When I arrived at Honda of lisle (4475 Lincoln ave, lisle, il 60532) this morning for an oil change and recall service 16V-933, the service greeter told me that because I refused to provide an email address (presumably for marketing purposes), american Honda motor co., Inc. Would no longer mail safety recall notices to me or make recall information available for my vehicle. When I protested, he agreed it was a terrible policy but said there was nothing that he or I could do about it. This is an unconscionable and life-threatening policy. Please do what you can to stop this action of american Honda motor co., Inc. And keep owners of Honda products safe, no matter what their marketing preferences. Many thanks.
The front brake rotors are undersized and will warp with use causing vibration during braking. The homelink stays on even after the car is turned off with key removed causing thief to open your garage door when they break into the car and having access to homes because the homelink stays on constantly.
Any time bright sunshine is present; it is impossible to read the temperature &/or radio settings. The black lettering on the light blue background forces a driver to "lean down" completelhy taking their eyes off the road in an attempt to read the information. And, even then, it is almost impossible to read the information! if the background was black & the letters were white (like the date & time on the gps screen) the "problem" would be completely eliminated. Note: This problem is still present in the 2015 model's. I have tried in vain to contact Honda engineering but it is "impossible" to get through to them! furthermore, my Honda dealer said: "there is no way to get to the proper people at Honda." Please help!!!
Have had for a long time episodes of the doors locking for no reason both while the car was stationary and while any speed from streets to interstate. Honda re-programmed the locks, but did not fix the problem. Since it only happened about once every 2 weeks and they could not find another problem, I just let it go. The incident of concern happened in a parking lot. The sliding door closed on the hand of an elderly woman who was getting out of the front seat and we were unable to unlock it and get it off her hand or to slide her hand out of the door. The door was completely closed and flush with the rest of the car. After about 12 minutes as 911 was arriving, the door unlocked itself and they were able to open it. I had been using the buttons on the driver's dash, both front doors and the key fob with the car off and turned on and had pulled on the door handle and hammered on the door without success. When the door unlocked itself, I had once again tried the driver's door button with the car running and the response was delayed enough that I had gotten out of the car and was about at the driver's wheel when we heard the unlocking clunk. Can send photos of the location of her hand if it would be helpful. Thankfully only one finger was broken. Honda checked out the car and found nothing wrong with the sensors. They did say that I have a bad cell on my battery, but the car starts fine and I can't see how that would have anything to do with it. The weird locking of doors was happening at my last check-up where the battery tested out ok.
Al conducir la camioneta de regreso del trabajo sent una vibracin O zangoloteo a no mas de 20 mph Y como a unas 1500 RPM, despus de 15 minutos de haber arrancado la camioneta, solo al hacer el cambio de velocidad "transmisin automtica" SE percibe tambin, Y en una subida hace mas fuerte el zangoloteo O jaloneo, no SE si tengan que ver con algo acerca de los convertidores de torcion que salen defectuosos Y provocan este tipo de fallas pero solo he escuchado que en modelos 2004 quisiera saber si algn propietario de este modelo de camioneta a tenido algn problema similar oddysey 2012.
