“2009 Honda Odyssey, problem started on monday 04/26/10. Early morning as I was leaving my place for work, I noticed that the brakes were 'soft'; at the first stop sign, it took the brake to stop the van a longer distance than usual, speed is below 20mph. I was still able to drive to work without further incident that time. …”

“Van had a minor accident in the front end that I purchased from my brother's body shop. Not sure if accident caused it but, the traction control comes on periodically for no reason, e.g. Not raining, losing control of vehicle. Looked at by 2 Honda dealerships and no one can fix the problem without spending a lot of money by looking at every wire. To date, my brother and I have spent about $5,000 replacing the front ABS sensors, front wire harness, steering angle sensor, rack and pinion, bearings, ABS modulator, yann sensor and power steering pump. …”

“Car started shuddering at 35-40 MPH. Took to shop and was told it was wheel bearings. Had them replaced and the issue stopped for a couple weeks and started back up between 40-45 MPH on city road or highway. This only happens when accelerating. If we let off the gas it stops. Took it to another mechanic and it would not replicate, but earlier in the day it occurred numerous times. It has been happening for at least a month. The vehicle has 153k miles.”

“The rear power liftgate was opened without manual assist. It reached the top and stayed up for a few seconds, then closed unexpectedly falling onto the head and sholders. The problem kept getting worse. The rear lift gate if manually opened would fall after a few seconds.”

“The car's AC system is malfunctioning. The air conditioning will sometimes blow cold air and other times blow warm air when on the lowest temperature setting with the AC on. Also, it will sometimes blow hot air on the driver's side and cold air on the passenger's side. We've taken the vehicle to two different shops (non-Honda) and both have confirmed the unit is completely charged and can not determine what the issue is. A search on the issue seems that several other owners are experiencing the same issue with their vehicles.”
