2012 Honda Odyssey Exterior lighting Problems

“Headlights are aimed too low, dealership is charging me $85 dollars to have it adjusted as they said it is not covered by warranty, vehicle was leased as new; adjusted it myself but it is at the highest setting and still too low, added factory fog lamps but did not really help with forward illumination, lights are overrun by vehicle on highways going 65-70 MPH. Vehicle is still under warranty , but I'm waiting for Honda to recall and replace these poorly designed headlamps. …”

“Brand new vehicle, new model year, could be one of first. Headlights are as bright as the sun. Any bump or incline puts headlights into oncoming driver eyes. Majority flash me that my high beams are on. They are not. Honda says all perfect. I cannot look into light - it is sun-like. My headlights come up into oncoming eyes constantly - Honda says aimed perfectly. I assert that this is simply highly dangerous; Honda will do nothing for me. All is perfect, they say. …”

“I was driving my 2 year old Honda Odyssey w/15,000 miles on a 35 MPH state road in the evening. All of a sudden the van lost complete power, everything inside went black, brakes went, no lights in or outside working, and the steering got very stiff, making it difficult to steer the van off the road. My 5 young children were in the vehicle as well. (ages 14, 6, 4, 2, & 5 months). Thankfully no vehicles were on the road in front of me or stopped bc I would have hurt them badly. I just missed getting rear ended by 3 other vehicles as well. …”

“I just bought a 2012 Honda Odyssey. At night you can not see very well with the headlights. It leaves bad visualization of the road. It is like a black curtain over your windshield in dark country roads. I almost went into a ravine. Thank goodness I was going slow. I do not take this route much. But when going into very dark areas. It is a complete black out. I took it back to my dealer in mentor, ohio. At classic and the service man was very rude. And looked at me like I was out of my mind. I am a night nurse. Drive my kids around for functions. This really scares me. …”

“Rear right side tail light developed an interior crack in it and there are no scratches or dents indicating someone hit it. Honda saw the damage when it was brought for regular service and refused to fix it saying that its our fault that the taillight cracked. The manager pressed on the crack which made it come all the way through.the car is hardly driven only for family trips and is hand washed, waxed, covered and before being placed in the garage for storage after each trip.”
