“The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while driving 45-65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and waited for two hours. The contact then continued driving 20-25 MPH. The contact stated that the VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) and TPMS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to Auto Zone, where it was diagnosed with battery voltage, brake sensor, ECM and PCM failures. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 238,133.”
“The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while reversing, a yellow warning light illuminated, indicating a bearing malfunction. The contact stated that the failure was ongoing. The contact drove the vehicle to the dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.”
“Most times when I press on the brake and shift into drive or reverse, the dash will register a flashing D3. I have no idea what this is but I do know that the stopping is more responsive at this time. Also, I will go to start the vehicle but it doesn't start. Interior lights and dash would be working but no way to turn over. If I engage my brake and jiggle the shifter, it will do something that finally allows me to start it. This had left me stranded more times I would like but finally a helpful citizen showed me how to jiggle the shifter to get it to engage. I shouldn't have to do this at least once a week.”
“I BOUGHT MY 2007 ODYSSEY IN 2014. IT HAD 55000 MILES ON IT AND APPEARED TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT RAN VERY WELL EXCEPT THAT THE EMISSIONS LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND USUALLY STAY ON. IT DID PASS DURING ONE SHORT PERIOD. NOTICED AS IT WENT OVER 60,000 IT HAD MORE AND MORE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WOULD NOT BACK UP; WOULDN'T GO INTO ECO MODE; SHUDDERED DURING DRIVING, UNTIL IT WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THERE WERE NO CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WORKED WELL.”
“THE SLIDING DOOR ON MY ODYSSEY FELL OFF. IT LITERALLY FELL OFF RIGHT ONTO MY BODY WHILE I WAS PUMPING GAS. NOT ONLY DID THIS CAUSE PHYSICAL HARM TO MY PERSON, BUT IT RESULTED IN SUBSTANTIAL BODY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE PANEL.”
“I STARTED UP MY VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHY CAME ON AND THE "D" FOR DTIVE BEGAN FLASHING. WHEN I PUT THE VAN IN REVERSE AND NUETRAL IT APPEARED TO BE FINE. HOWEVER IT SHIFTED INT DRIVE HARD MADE A LOUD CLUNK DOUND THEN STARTED RATTELING. ALSO THE VHEHCILE LUNGES FORWARD WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. IT ALSO DOESNT START OR TURN OVER AT TIMES.”
