NHTSA complaint #10439310, filed 2011-12, 47,932 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10327876, filed 2010-04, 15,900 miles“On 2/3/2019 I was attempting to park my 2009 Honda Odyssey on a city street when it accelerated without any pressure being applied to the gas pedal. I was braking while rolling forward slowly and turning right into the parking space when the engine suddenly revved and accelerated the vehicle forward. I applied increasing braking pressure while the engine continued to rev, exceeding the stopping power of the brakes and causing the car to lurch forward toward a parked car in front of me. I managed to stop by quickly shifting the transmission from drive to park. …”
NHTSA complaint #11174361, filed 2019-02, 121,000 miles“On two occasions (11/28/2011 and 11/30/2011), after driving for several minutes (warmed up engine) and while approaching a stop light at about 3 MPH (almost stopped) and when the engine had already come to idle, the engine suddenly surged (raced, with the tachometer jumping over halfway). The car lunged forward, but I pressed hard on the brakes and pushed the shifter into neutral. Then the engine idled and ran fine until the second incident during which the exact same event occurred. …”
NHTSA complaint #10438034, filed 2011-12, 47,660 miles“2009 Honda Odyssey mini van was crashed by hitting a concrete block in the parking building with an unintended sudden acceleration. When the car parked into a spot, the car needed to readjust its position in parallel to the parking line. Thus the driver changed to a rear mode and then suddenly heard very loud sound and the mini van drove very fast to the front direction and hit the concrete block. The brake did not work until it hit the block. The driver, my wife, had a minor injury of seat belt mark on her chest. The front car was damaged severely. …”
