VISIBILITY/WIPER

Potential Consequences:

I had a Recall on my 2020 Honda Odyssey Vin # [XXX] for NHTSA Recall # 23V-431. The recall was for rear camera failure. The Fix was to replace MOST cable harness. In Early October 2023 my rear view camera did fail and no longer conformed to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No 111, “Rear Visibility” I took my Honda Odyssey to Serra Brighton Honda for repair , Serra Brighton Honda replaced the cable and it did not fix the problem. I was told it was the camera which was not part of the recall and was charged $302.42 for replacement of the camera, Invoice # [XXX]. It only seems logical to me that if “Rear Visibility” is a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard , the camera should have been included as part of the fix. It could have been possible that the cable shorted out and damaged the camera’s electronics. My Honda only has 21,500 miles and is always stored in a garage and has never been in an accident. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

My wife was driving our honda odyssey on a state highway and it began lurching and drastically reduced speed while in 65 mph traffic. The vehicle almost created a large accident as it uncontrollably and suddenly reduced gears and instantly slowed well below the rate of travel of the vehicles on the road. She managed to pull over on the side of the road but was unable to move the vehicle . There was never a check engine indicator or any other warning signs prior to this happening. The vehicle was towed to the local honda dealership in Scranton PA. Today the service center there stated that the transmission fluid was charred and burnt up gears in the transmission. This is a huge safety concern as there was no warning signs of the issue until the vehicle rapidly and suddenly shifted down gears and slowed to almost a complete stop along the highway. The vehicle is only 3 years old and is 900 miles over the powertrain warranty. Has there been a check engine light or any indicator we could have had the problem addressed before it became catastrophic and put my families lives in jeopardy. The vehicle has been regularly maintained

The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds during rainy weather, he attempted to defrost the windows; however, the HVAC failed to operate as designed with warm air coming from the HVAC system. As a result, the windows failed to defrost as needed, making it difficult to see the roadway. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the blower motor had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle back to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 32,400.

STRUCTURE:BODY

Potential Consequences:

I have had 2 major issues, the idle stop feature has multiple times caused my car to stall. It has even happened on the highway during traffic where the car went into idle-stop mode and would not restart the engine. Last week it happened again on a major road and the only way to restart the car is shift to park in the middle of a busy 4 lane road, turn off the car completely and then attempt a restart. The other issue was with the rear sliding door, my 3 year old son closed the automatic sliding door by pressing the button and his hand was crushed/ stuck until I was able to reopen it. I have called Honda who told me I could have it looked at but it would cost me for the diagnostic and repair if needed due to the fact that it was one month past their 3 year warranty period.

When the car engages the Idle Stop feature and shuts the engine off, the engine does not restart immediately once the brake is released. This has happened multiple times but the last time a message appeared that said to change gears and restart the car. In the meantime the vehicle was in traffic and stopped for over a minute before it could be restarted. This put us in danger of a rear end collision as other cars were wanting to go.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

At a stop light the engine idle shutoff feature shut off the engine. Then a few moments later the entire vehicle shut off. I could not turn the vehicle back on after trying several times to do so. After about five attempts the vehicle turned back on in park gear. During this time the light turned green and the vehicle would not turn on, cars behind began honking. This has happened a few times since owning the vehicle. I was dead in the middle of a busy intersection. I have asked the dealer to look at the electrical system as there have been several anomalies but it checks out fine. I replaced the battery thinking that might be the problem but did not work. I believe it is the same problem as PE22005
