“I lease a 2016 Honda Odyssey. Upon arriving home, I pulled into my driveway extremely slow. I was putting the brake on. The car was not in motion. When I moved the car from drive to park the car accelerated on its own. It hit the side of my house dislodging fourteen bricks. The airbag was deployed. I have black and blues and the residue from the airbag burned my finger. The vehicle is being evaluated by the Honda dealership I leased it from.”
NHTSA complaint #11016148, filed 2017-08, 16,000 miles“At the time of the accident (06/22/2016), I had only owned this 2016 Honda Odyssey for a month (didn't even have plates on it yet). I dropped off a passenger at the front of the diner and drove slowly east through the parking lot. The lot is narrow, crowded, and busy, which is why I did not have my foot on the accelerator at any time. Instead, my foot was on the brake regulating a very slow, creeping speed. I decided to park in a stall that faced west which meant I needed to make a moderately wide, hard, right u-turn. …”
NHTSA complaint #10888494, filed 2016-07, 200 miles“Failure of computer module in my 2016 Odyssey caused the key safety systems to all fault. ABS, traction control, LDW, and other systems all went into fault after a light tap on the breaks at parking lot speeds (less than 10 mph). This van has under 30,000 miles on it and was purchased by me brand new.”
NHTSA complaint #11420897, filed 2021-06“My vehicle problems started on February 6, 2024 while my daughter was driving back to her house. My 2016 Honda Odyssey EXL started shaking violently at 55 - 60 mph. Upon towing my vehicle to have my certified mechanic to check it out, check engine light was on with codes and misfires. He determined that the variable timing valve solenoid was bad. He replaced faulty part as well as both oil pressure switches and it then came up with check engine light, as well as FCW, LDW, & anti-skid warning lights!? It also had a couple different codes. …”
NHTSA complaint #11578529, filed 2024-03“I was traveling on a local street around 35mph and braking for a red light. The braking felt funny in that it didn't slow the car down like normal, but it felt like the car's accelerator was still engaged. I managed to come to a stop, but the car seemed to want to move forward and I had to really stomp on the brake to keep it from moving forward. I put the car into park and the engine started revving and the car started shaking. I then turned the car off. When I turned the car back on, I was not able to shift back into drive from park. I turned the car off again. …”
