2006 Honda Odyssey

ON 10/10/2014 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH AN INTERSECTION GOING 45 MPH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WHILE COASTING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND WE PUSHED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOST SPACE. WHILE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO JUMP THE CAR THE VEHICLE START AGAIN. AGAIN ON 10/11/2014 WHILE TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS AGAIN ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS TIME WE CONSIDER THIS VEHICLE NO SAFE TO OPERATE IF THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS STORIES LIKE THIS HAPPENING WITH HONDAY ODYSSEYS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

MY 2006 ODYSSEY WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER 2ND ROW BY A VEHICLE THAT RAN A STOP SIGN AND SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE 2ND ROW PASSENGER SIDE. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE ODYSSEY TO SPIN AND WAS PUSHED AT LEAST 20 FEET BEFORE BEING STOPPED BY THE CURB. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SHE SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES- NO ONE WAS IN THE 2ND ROW THANKFULLY. WHEN I VIEWED THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO QUESTION IN MY MIND THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, AFTER INQUIRING FURTHER TO VERIFY THIS ASSUMPTION, I DISCOVERED THAT NO AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THIS. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AND DID NOT. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A MALFUNCTION, AND I AM INFORMING YOU OF IT AS SUCH. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY BECAUSE A SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG SHOULD DEPLOY WHEN VEHICLE IS HIT HARD AND DIRECTLY ON ITS SIDE. I WAS LEFT WITH THE THOUGHT OF WHY DO THEY EVEN INSTALL THESE IF IT DOES NOT DEPLOY IN THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT. I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES WHICH SUBSTANTIATE THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT AND DAMAGE SUSTAINED. THANK YOU. *TR

I TOOK MY VAN IN TO WILDE HONDA ON 9/17/14 FOR A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP NODULE. THE DAY I PICKED IT UP, I NOTICED A VERY LOUD SOUND FROM MY ENGINE. I HAD A FRIEND DRIVE THE CAR THE AFTERNOON OF 9/26/14 TO SEE IF HE COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. WHEN HE GOT IN TO DRIVE IT, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, MY D LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SMELLS LIKE IT IS BURNING. I HAVE NOW HAD A MECHANIC REVIEW IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED AND I NEED TO HAVE A NEW ONE PUT IN. *TR

MY ODYSSEY NEEDS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL, AND WILL COST MORE THAN $3,000.00. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT JAPANESE VEHICLES ARE DURABLE, RELIABLE, AND LONG-LASTING, WITH TOYOTA BEING ONE OF THE BEST, BUT HONDA BEING THE BEST OF THE BEST. NOW, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA. I AM HOPING FOR HONDA TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE ODYSSEY. I HAVE 4 FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR OWN ODYSSEYS. AND MY AUTO MECHANIC DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THIS IS A REGULAR AND CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT IS BROUGHT TO HIM BY HIS CUSTOMERS. PLEASE RECALL THE ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION TO RELIEVE US OF THE FINANCIAL BURDEN, AND TO REGAIN OUR CONFIDENCE TO HONDA VEHICLES. THANK YOU. *TR

MY VAN HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET THE REAR ENGINE MOUNT COLLAPSED AND MADE MY ENGINE SHAKE BACK AND FORTH CAUSING A VIBRATION DURING DRIVING. THEY TELL ME THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF STOP AND GO DRIVING. I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE VANS AND ALL OF THEM HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS FAULTY PART REPLACED. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE REPAIR COST OVER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND IT TOOK THEM LESS THAN 1 1/2 HOURS TO FIX. *TR

I WAS BACKING UP IN MY HONDA WHEN I STOPPED TO SEE IF I WAS GOING TO HIT SOMETHING. I AM SURE I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, STARTED TO EXIT THE VAN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, I WAS THE DRIVER, AND REALIZED THAT THE VAN WAS MOVING BACKWARDS. I HAD MY LEFT FOOT ON THE GROUND BEFORE I KNEW I WAS MOVING. THE DRIVERS DOOR HIT ME AND I WAS ON THE BLACK TOP HITTING MY FACE AND KNEES, MY RIGHT LEG WAS UNDER THE VAN AND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE TORE UP MY RIGHT LEG. MY DRIVERS DOOR CLOSED AND I YELLED FOR HELP WHICH SEVERAL PEOPLE CAME TO MY AID. THE PEOPLE WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF MY VAN AND THEY LIFTED THE VAN OFF MY LEG. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE THEY STITCHED UP MY LEG AND TOOK SEVERAL X RAYS, I HAD NO BROKEN BONES. IT TOOK 3 MONTHS FOR MY WOUNDS TO HEAL AND MY KNEE STILL HAS A LOT OF PAIN. *TR

VAN HAS MANUAL SLIDING DOORS. UPON SHUTTING PASSENGER SIDE DOOR NORMALLY THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR. CHILD SAFETY LOCK WAS OFF. LOCK MECHANISM WORKS NORMALLY BUT DOOR LATCH WILL NOT DISENGAGE. SIX MONTHS LATER AT 172000 MILES THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE RESULTING IN A SEVEN PASSENGER VEHICLE WITH NO EGRESS FOR PASSENGERS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. UPON REMOVAL OF INTERIOR DOOR PANELS IT IS CLEAR THERE IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE LATCH MECHANISM. ALL CABLES AND CONTROLS WORK NORMALLY BUT THE LATCHES HAVE FAILED. *TR
