WHILE BACKING UP SLOWLY (APPX. 2 MPH), THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT REAR WHEEL MADE LIGHT CONTACT WITH THE CURB. THE STEEL STEERING KNUCKLE (OFTEN CALLED THE SPINDLE) FOR THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE WHEEL SHEERED OFF, MAKING IT INOPERABLE. THIS WAS WITNESSED BY BYSTANDERS WHO CAN ATTEST THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A VERY LOW SPEED. THREE MECHANICS HAVE STATED THAT SUCH A FAILURE SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED, IN ANY SITUATION. NEVERTHELESS, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FACTORY-INSTALLED KNUCKLE WAS FAULTY AND WILL NOT TELL ME HOW MANY OTHER SIMILAR FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED. THEY REFUSE TO COVER ANY PORTION OF THE COST OF WHAT OTHERS HAVE CLASSIFIED AS AN UNPRECEDENTED FAILURE. *JS

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 55-60 MPH A FLAT OCCURRED. MY WIFE PULLED OVER AFTER ABOUT 200 YARDS. I ARRIVED A FEW MINUTES LATER. LOOKING AT THE TIRE AND RIM, IT IS APPARENT THAT A HARD OBJECT BOTH PUNCTURED AND DAMAGED THE RIM. THIS IS NOT THE POINT OF CONCERN AS IT SEEMS CUSTOMARY FOR A FLAT TIRE. HOWEVER, TWO LARGE (15X3 INCH) PIECES OF THE RIM BROKE OFF. THIS SEEMED EXTREMELY UNUSUAL AFTER SUCH A PUNCTURE AND SHORT FOLLOWUP DRIVE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN AWARE OF SUCH AN OCCURRENCE. WHEN I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER, THE SERVICE PERSON HAD NOT HEARD OF IT EITHER. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WAS DRIVING ON ND HWY. 15. THE DRIVER'S SLIDING DOOR WOULD COME UNLATCHED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH. PUSH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LATCH BUTTON AGAIN AND IT STAYED LATCHED FOR ABOUT 7 MILES AND IT WOULD UNLATCH ITSELF AND THE ALARM WOULD GO OFF. TELLING YOU THE SLIDINGDOOR WAS UNLATCHED. I TOOK THE VAN TO RYDELL'S HONDA DEALER IN GRAND FORKS, ND THEY REPLACE THE LATCH AND ROLLERS ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS. THEY SAID IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS AND THE ROLLERS AND LATCHES WOULD GET WORE BECAUSE THE ROLLERS AND PART OF THE LATCH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. HONDA SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US TO TRY TO KEEP THE ROLLER GUIDES CLEAN AND PRESSURE WASH THE ROLLER GUIDE REALLY WELL. WE DID THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR CLEAN THE THE GUIDES BIWEEKLY AND WE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES AGAIN. THIS TIME HONDA REPLACED ON LATCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THREE WEEKS LATER THE OTHER SIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TOO. WE WERE LUCKILY THIS ONLY HAD HAPPEN CLOSE TO TOWN AND WE NEVER WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DOORS WOULD COME UNLATCHED WITHOUT NOTICE AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN ABOUT AN INCH OR TWO. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU TRY TO SHUT THE DOORS MANUALLY OR AUTOMATIC IT WILL STILL OPEN AND UNLATCH ON ITS OWN WHEN EVER IT WOULD LIKE TOO. WE ONLY LIVE ON ABOUT 3 MILES OF GRAVEL SO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AGES NINE AND EIGHT IS SCARY.

AFTERMARKET AUTOMOTIVE RIMS FAILED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS OF NORMAL DRIVING. MODA MD9 OR MD9610 WERE LISTED AS A RECOMMENDED WINTER DRIVING RIM BY A LARGE ONLINE RETAILER OUT OF SOUTH BEND INDIANA. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME NOTICED STRONG VIBRATION ISSUES. AN APPROVED TIRE INSTALLER REVIEWED THE RIMS AND STATED ALL 4 RIMS WERE EGG SHAPED AND COULD NOT BE BALANCED. RIM RUNOUT SPECS OUT OF RANGE. EGG SHAPED CONDITION CREATES STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AND AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. RETAILER THROUGH THEIR PRODUCT SUPPORT, DENIED ANY PRODUCT ISSUES AND STATED THE ONLY WAY WHEELS COULD HAVE DEFORMED WAS THROUGH ABNORMAL USE. ALL 4 RIMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL AND HAVE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT RIMS USED ON THIS HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES OVER SEVERAL YEARS OF USE. FEEL THE PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO DEFECTIVE WHEELS OR RIMS. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS FROM 20-35 MILES PER HOUR, THE VEHICLE ABS CAUSES BRAKING TO FAIL TO HALT THE VEHICLE IN THE ANTICIPATED DISTANCE OF OTHER CARS. IT TAKES 3.5 CAR LENGTHS AT 18-20 MPH, WHICH CAN LEAD TO REAR END COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU ARE FORCED TO KEEP DOUBLE THE NORMAL NUMBER OF CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU. AND YOUR FRONT WHEELS START SORT OF 'HOPPING' CAUSING PARTIAL LOSS OF TRACTION, DURING THE ABS CYCLE THAT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE ENGAGING. I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH MY PRIOR 2007 HONDA ACCORD HYBRID, ONLY WORSENED BY THE VARIOUS HYBRID COMPONENTS KICKING IN AND OUT, INCLUDING THE REGEN BRAKING, AND THE ENGINE CUTOFF, AS WELL AS THE ABS AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTING. I HAD TWO MINOR REAR END FRONT END ACCIDENTS BUT FREQUENTLY FOUND MYSELF SKIDDING INTO INTERSECTIONS. BOTH VEHICLES ALSO SUFFERED FROM DIFFICULTY REGULATING SPEED WITHOUT USING THE BRAKES, AND VERY SENSITIVE SPEED BRAKING. NONETHELESS, I THINK THE ABS, SUSPENSION AND THE BRAKING ARE COMBINING TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO PARTLY LOSE TRACTION AND LEADS TO EXTENDED BRAKING DISTANCES AT LOW SPEED. I HAVE NOT ONLY REPEATEDLY WRITTEN AND CALLED HONDA ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM, I'VE EVEN THREATENED TO TERMINATE MY LEASE AGREEMENT OVER IT. HONDA'S ONLY RESPONSE TO MY CALLS AND LETTERS SINCE 2008 IS THAT 'THERE IS NO OUTSTANDING RECALL REGARDING THE CONDITION YOU ARE REPORTING', TO WHICH MY COMMENT: "THERE DARN WELL SHOULD BE!" FALLS ON VERY DEAF CORPORATE EARS. *TR
