2010 Honda Odyssey

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AS THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, WHO STATED THAT THE THIRD CYLINDER HAD MISFIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. UPDATED 09/05/14*LJ UPDATED 12/4/2014 *JS

VAN HAS A SIGNIFICANT SHAKE (OR "JUDDER", SHUDDER, VIBRATION, OR SHIMMY) WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 50 AND 75 MPH. ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKES, SIMILAR TO ONE OR MORE TIRES BEING OUT OF BALANCE BUT MUCH WORSE. JUDDER GOES AWAY COMPLETELY AND INSTANTLY WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. DURING THIS PERIOD I HAD THREE ALL-WHEEL ALIGNMENTS AND SEVERAL TIRE BALANCINGS, BUT NOTHING WORK. IT WAS ONLY RECENTLY WHEN I NOTICED IT ONLY OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING AND SO IT WASN'T A TIRE OR ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. *TR

WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN ENGINE ENCOUNTERED A SEVERE ROUGH IDLES AND LOST POWER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND VEHICLE STABILITY & TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE LIGHTS ALSO ILLUMINATED. HONDA DEALER PROXIMATE TO INCIDENT DIAGNOSED AS FOULED SPARK PLUG RELATED TO CYLINDER DEACTIVATION SYSTEM IN CAR. INTERNET RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH HONDA CARS HAVING A V6 ENGINE WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION. *TR

OUR 2010 HONDAY ODYSSEY HAS ROLLED BACKWARD WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN "PARK" TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE AS IT ROLLED 'ONLY' ABOUT 18 INCHES. THE SECOND TIME THE VAN WAS AGAIN IN "PARK", AND THE KEYS WERE OUT OF THE IGNITION, A FEW HOURS LATER A NEIGHBOR CAME TO INFORM US THAT THE VAN HAD ROLLED INTO THE STREET/ALLEY WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 7 FEET FROM THE ORIGINAL PARKING SPOT. THE VAN IS PARKED IN AN ALMOST FLAT LOCATION, THE "INCLINE" OF THE DRIVEWAY IS STANDARD RAIN RUN-OFF GRADE SO LESS THAN 2% APPROXIMATELY. *TR

WHEN APPROACHING A 4 WAY INTERSECTION. I WAS DECELERATING WHEN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/BRAKES SEEMED TO LOCK CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A VERY ABRUPT STOP. SINCE THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED AN ISSUE (3 TIMES) UNDER ACCELERATION WHERE THE ENGINE WILL REV AND SLAM INTO THE NEXT GEAR. WE ALSO ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT IS MOST SIGNIFICANT BETWEEN 50-60 MPH. *TR

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER STATES VIBRATION AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE COULD FELL THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE WHILE DRIVING AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE CONSUMER'S CONCERN. THE CONSUMER STATED THE JUDDER CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. THE DEALER THEN STATED THEY COULD REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. *JB

AT 7000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A VERY LOUD GRINDING AND RATTLING NOISE, SHAKING THE VEHICLE, WHEN SHIFTING FROM R TO D. THIS WAS REPEATED AT 25,000 MILES SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE. IN JULY OF 2010, VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR MEMORY STEERING, THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT STRUT. NOVEMBER OF 2010, THE VEHICLE STEERING IS UNSTABLE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING LEFT. THE SENSATION IS EITHER OVER-ACTIVITY OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP OR UNDER-ACTIVITY. VEHICLE SEEMS VERY UNSTABLE UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY ON BUMPY ROADS. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANYTHING ABNORMAL. *TR

AT 110,000 MILES I BEGAN HAVING TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEARS. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO GET WORSE UNTIL ALL SHIFTS WERE SLIPPING. THIS CAR HAS A LONG LAG (5 SECONDS OR MORE) WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. AT 114,000, THE TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED BY A 3RD PARTY TRANSMISSION SHOP. $2600 LATER, THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. THE SHOP CURRENTLY BELIEVES (THEY AREN'T SURE BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVEN'T GOT IT WORKING PROPERLY) THE FAILURE BEGAN WITH AN ELECTRICAL, POSSIBLY ECM, PROBLEM. THIS VAN HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. *TR
