2016 Honda Odyssey

AFTER PUCHASING MY CAR, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING ON A REGULAR BASIS. BETWEEN 5-40 MPH IT'S LIKE THE CAR DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SHIFT GEARS AUTOMATICALLY AND JOLTS EVERY ADDITIONAL 5MPH OR SO. SEEMS VERY UNSTABLE. IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE ABOUT 28K MILES. WE'RE AT 51K AND IT STILL DOES IT EVERY TIME WE DRIVE. THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES THAT SHOW UP (WE WENT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT REPAIR PLACES) AND ARE TOLD IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT OTHER THAN REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN ON A CAR AT LESS THAN 30K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, AN ABNORMALLY LOUD BOOMING SOUND WAS HEARD. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE GLASS SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER WILLIAMS HONDA LOCATED AT 2650 US HWY 31, TRAVERSE CITY MI 49684 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

THE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING PASSENGER VAN DOOR OPERATED IMPROPERLY - AS THE DOOR WAS MOVING BACKWARD TO OPEN, OUR 3 YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER SLIPPED AND HER HEAD WAS LODGED BETWEEN THE INSIDE DOOR FRAME AND DOOR THE DOOR LODGED HER HEAD AND STOPPED MOVING-BACKWARD, TRAPPING HER HEAD, PLACING EXTREME PRESSURE ON HER SKULL. WE COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO RELEASE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. SHE WAS SCREAMING - CAUSING HER SIBLINGS MUCH TERROR AS WE WORKED TO FREE HER FROM THE ENTRAPMENT. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET HER RELEASED. SHE WAS SEEN BY HER PEDIATRICIAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER HER GETTING HER OUT. I WILL SEND PICTURES. SHE IS LUCKY SHE DIDN'T GET HER SKULL CRUSHED OR LOSE AN EYE WE REACHED OUT TO HONDA - THEIR RESPONSE WAS THE DOOR OPERATED AS IT SHOULD WOW WE HAVE BEEN OWNERS OF MANY HONDA'S AND BOTH OUR DAUGHTER AND WE OWN A ODYSSEY AS SHE HAD TRIPLETS IN 2016 AND WE BOTH FELT HONDA WAS A SAFE CHOICE WE DO NOT WANT ANOTHER CHILD OR FAMILY TO EXPERIENCE THIS TRAUMA - NOR LOSE A CHILD BECAUSE OF IT. ALL OUR GRANDKIDS HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIZED BY THIS INCIDENT - AS WAS OUR DAUGHTER - HER MOTHER AND I. OUR DAUGHTER HAS SINCE TEASED IN THIS VAN. AGAIN WE BELIEVE THIS IS SERIOUS AND MEASURES SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE TO PRECLUDE THIS THE VEHICLE WAS OFF PARKED IN OUR DAUGHTERS DRIVEWAY THE DOOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED ONCE BEFORE AND LOOKED AT BY HONDA DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, AN AUDIBLE BEEPING ALARM INDICATED THAT A DOOR WAS AJAR, EVEN THOUGH ALL DOORS WERE CLOSED.

SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON A HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY I HAD A SHOULDER TO ESCAPE ONTO AS I COULD NOT MAKE IT UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED AND COULD NOT MERGE. FOUND OUT AFTERWARDS THAT THE CAUSE WAS SPARK PLUG FOULING AS A BUILD UP OCCURS DURING ECO MODE AS OIL BYPASSES THE PISTON RINGS ON CYLINDERS EQUIPPED WITH THE HONDA VCM (VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT) SYSTEM. THE BUILD UP CONTINUES UNTIL THE ENGINE BEGINS TO MISFIRE AND TRIGGERS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH, STUMBLES AND DRIVES IN 'LIMP ALONG' MODE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES (FIRST OCCURRENCE 03/25/2019, LATEST OCCURRENCE 04/16/2020) AND MY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE CENTER HAS FOUND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE P0302 INDICATING A MISFIRE CONDITION IN CYLINDER #2. HONDA SERVICE PEOPLE CALL IT THE 'PISTON RING PROBLEM' AS IT IS A WELL KNOW MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT HONDA DESCRIBES IN TSB 13-081 AND RESULTED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (CASE NO. 3:12-CV-1377-SI) AGAINST HONDA. THE LAWSUIT WAS SETTLED IN 2014 AND ALL 2008 THRU 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY MODELS WERE COVERED AND GIVEN AN EXTENDED 8 YEAR UNLIMITED MILEAGE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY IN THE SETTLEMENT. APPARENTLY THE DEFECT WAS NOT CORRECTED IN LATER MODELS AS MY 2016 HONDA ODYSSEY IS NOW EXHIBITING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS. MY HONDA WAS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAD 69K MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AND YET HONDA HAS DECLINED TO COVER THE $3000 COST OF REPLACING THE PISTON RINGS (AS RECOMMENDED BY THE HONDA SERVICE CENTER) STATING THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THE SETTLEMENT.

2016 HONDA ODYSSEY. DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR LATCHES FAILED TO OPERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

OWNER GOT VEHICLE HOME AND THE BEEPING OCCURRED AGAIN. OWNER TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO VIC BAILEY HONDA, AND WAS QUOTED AN ESTIMATE OF $700 FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY VIC BAILEY HONDA, NOR DID VIC BAILEY HONDA OFFER TO NOTIFY MANUFACTURER EVEN WHEN ASKED TO DO SO BY THE OWNER, SO OWNER WILL FILE COMPLAINT TO MANUFACTURER. OWNER DISCOVERED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V795000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) FOR THE 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY, WHICH IS LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2016 ODYSSEY FAILURE. THE BEEPING IS CONTINUOUS UNLESS THE AUTOMATIC BACK SLIDING DOOR SWITCH IS OFF. BEEPING OCCURS WHEN IN REVERSE OR FORWARD, NOT WHEN STOPPED. DRIVER SLIDING DOOR CLOSED AND LOCK THEN REAR MOTOR WOULD UNLOCK. IT NEEDS A NEW LEFT SLIDE DOOR REAR MOTOR/LOCK ASSEMBLY. TECH RECOMMENDS NEEDS LEFT REAR SLIDE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY. ASR REPLACED SLIDING DOOR REAR LATCH LOCK ASSEMBLY. INSTALLED NEW LEFT SLIDING DOOR REAR LATCH LOCK ASSEMBLY AND NOT THE DOOR SHOWS CLOSED. BEEPING IS NOT OCCURRING AT THIS TIME.
