“While driving, I was intermittently using the seat warmers (toggling between the high, low, and off settings.) upon exiting the vehicle, the back of my legs felt very sore and irritated. The next morning, it was evident I had second degree burns, which was confirmed 2 days later by a medical professional, who treated me for the burns.”
NHTSA complaint #11316401, filed 2020-03, 88,500 miles“Our Honda Odyssey was subject to the recent recall relating to the movement of the second row seats. We took the vehicle in for repair at the nearby Honda dealership, and it was allegedly fixed. However, several days thereafter, while I was driving with my toddler (in a car seat attached to the passenger side second row seat) at approximately 15 MPH on local streets, I braked gently to merge into a lane that would turn toward the highway when I heard my child crying in sudden distress. …”
NHTSA complaint #10992465, filed 2017-05, 17,800 miles“Contacted dave at Honda to inquire whether Honda is prepared to deal with the 2nd seat recall. This chat session with dave is a total fraud. Try it. Dave does not exist. The only notice I have received from Honda regarding this recall stated that Honda did not have the necessary parts. Honda website states that I must bring my vehicle in immediately because my life is at stake. Yet Honda cannot tell me that it can fix the problem. Also, I noticed today that the bottom windshield seal or support that holds the windshield in place has buckled in numerous places and is about to come off entirely. …”
NHTSA complaint #10959014, filed 2017-03, 21,000 miles“The second row outboard seats come unsecured from the floor of the vehicle. This continues to happen after Honda performed its most recent recall repair. A four year old 38 lb. Child kicked the second row passenger seat back. The seat came dislodged from the floor hooks/anchors. See attached photos. The car was stationary when this happened.”
NHTSA complaint #11130813, filed 2018-09, 50,000 miles“November 2017 news reports described a safety recall of certain model years of Honda Odyssey van second row seating. This was due to seats not being secure in sudden stop or impact. Since that time, now 4 months, several dealership claim no knowledge of when the recall repairs will be honored and refer callers to Honda america. Honda america refers all calls to dealers and states this is not really a safety issue but a matter of operator error. …”
