Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving down the road and once the engine reaches operating temperature the vehicle fails to accelerate and shift gears. I mash the gas pedal and the RPM gauge goes up but the vehicle doesn't move. I let the engine and transmission cool down and sometimes it will operate properly again until everything warms up. It doesn't matter if im sitting at a light or in actual motion going down the road, the vehicle ceases to continue moving. …”
NHTSA complaint #11384023, filed 2020-12, 187,000 miles“When driving the car it makes a weird sound while I wait in a red or stop sign then feels like the van goes backwards. If I try to turn on the engine it's really hard I try to drive or reverse the the van starts shaking and the engine turns off.”
NHTSA complaint #11297080, filed 2020-01, 35 miles“I wan on vacation 500 miles away from home. Driving the 2006 Honda Odyssey as normal on the highway. All of a sudden the engine started over-revving and the van slowed down. I pulled over safely. The van would not move in drive although the engine was fine. It had to be towed 100 miles to a transmission shop where we discovered the transmission had to be replaced at great cost.”
NHTSA complaint #10588208, filed 2014-05, 99,155 miles“Odyssey 2006 3.5 has transmission problems. Torque converter needs replacing. When driving there is hardly any acceleration when you apply gas. Catalytic converter and gaskets are faulty. Ignition coil needs replacing before its time. And there is an issue with purge valve that mixes the fuel while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11255364, filed 2019-09, 194,000 miles“Professionally diagnosed at dealership catalaytic converter faulty at less than 90,000 miles with consistent maintenance. There is no reason to have to pay over $2,000 for repairs when the car has been well maintained and has had relatively few miles put on it given its age.”
