“I bought a 2003 Honda Odyssey and the transmission has an issue for acceleration from 20~40mph, which it looks like the gear not hooked up. I had the Honda dealer check up and they didn't think the transmission had issue. This kind of incident happened many times starting from last october to now. It happened again today. It is dangerous to drive.”
NHTSA complaint #10383303, filed 2011-02, 110,000 miles“I took my 2003 Odyssey for AC compressor relay replacement when I was informed the front engine mount needed replacing. I was surprised to hear this and I found out through my web search that it is a very common problem with Odyssey model. This is a design flaw and a safety issue for me and my family. …”
NHTSA complaint #10494261, filed 2013-01, 68,000 miles“My wife had the accelerator stuck at full throttle with cannon/weathertech floor mats today and it gave her quite a scare, especially since our ten year old son was also in the vehicle at the time. She had it floored to pass a slow moving vehicle on a two lane highway when the issue occurred. I couldn't figure out what was going on because with the van off and in the garage, if I pushed the pedal all the way down, it had plenty of clearance between the pedal and the floor mat. …”
NHTSA complaint #10731113, filed 2015-06, 164,000 miles“Transmission started slipping badly at under 140,000 miles. I am original owner and have always used dealer as the mechanic and for recalls or services. I had higher expectations from Honda cars, to go longer. The price they quoted me for repair was over 5000$ just for the transmission. The service was poor and I am very disappointed! They even charged me 115$ just to tell me my transmission is slipping (which I already knew)! The car started slipping on a monday night. It was late. …”
NHTSA complaint #10808574, filed 2015-12, 140 miles“I was driving on the street approximately 25mph, suddenly the steering wheel locked up on me. The vehicle had approximately 270,000 mi on it. I checked american Honda recalls and found a recall order. Copies of he documents enclosed. I reported the problem and explained the circumstances of the problem. I was told that recalls are VIN specific and vehicle does not show anything on their records. I made and researched and found the documents which I've enclosed copies with this complaint. I was told to talk with Honda dealership so they could advice me about the problem. …”
