![]() ![]() The local Honda dealership investigated the problem, but found no computer codes or other signs of problems. After letting the car sit for 10-20 minutes, the problem goes away. Outside temperature may be a contributing factor since it has always happened in a temperature of 80+ degrees fahrenheit. In the past two years there have been three similar incidents with this vehicle. After letting the vehicle sit turned off for 20 minutes, it was turned on and showed no further problems. The minivan immediately idled at 3500 rpm again. The vehicle was turned off then back on a few minutes later. The driver was able to pull the minivan into a gas station. The brake had to be applied to keep the car from dangerously accelerating. The minivan was being driven at about 30mph when the idle suddenly jumped to 3500 rpm. Until now, this brand new van went to 9times services for 3months without fixing, 11days in the service, our family are very having hard time for normal living life with kids. I am expecting Honda's immediate and appropriate customer care for buy back program. Honda service didn't allow me for a rental van. The Honda service couldn't find the causes.

Brake was completely not moving more than one hour and not starting engine together on the 2nd week of purchase in the parking lot. It was not starting engine several times on the 1st week of purchase. This is not first time problem for this new van. It is extremely dangerous for family with young children. I am trying to ask them buy back program. I called Honda customer service, but no answer. One of technician told me from the service, it has been problems for 4years. But it could not fixed for 3days and no one called me for updating info. " next morning, I took the van to Honda service. "ever since we bought this van, when the van's engine was turning on, back seat rt. Back seat was extremely hot!!! even though the van engine was stopped. It was unbelievable that the whole surface next to rt. I saw her face was so red like first degree burn and her hair was all wet and her body was so sweating. I found my young daughter at back seat, she couldn't wake up unusually. I drove on freeway for 40minutes with kids without central heating. I appreciate your helps in getting Honda to fix my engine as this fix is quite expensive for my budget. My concern is excessive oil leakage on a long trip can cause significant engine heating and/or significant shaking of whole vehicle may repeat when I am on an interstate and my whole family can face an serious accident issue. I have called Honda customer care and have been told that your van is not under warranty anymore as it is 8 years 7 months old and if it was less than 8 years, it was going to be covered under warranty. As a result, many Odyssey owners report having to replace their spark plugs frequently and refill the motor with oil between oil changes. The system is designed in a way that allows oil to leak into the engine's combustion chamber, leading to premature spark plug degradation, reduced fuel economy, and excessive oil consumption. Then, I have gone through some search and found that 2008-2013 Odyssey models are powered by a six-cylinder engine with a variable cylinder management (vcm) system. Since then, I have been checking the oil level and each week I am adding a quarter of oil. They replaced the spark plugs and the issue of significant shaking was resolved. We have been told that spark plugs had oil leaked through the engine. Then, we took the vehicle to the dealer that we had purchased. She got pretty scared and gave me a call. ![]() 2-3 months ago my wife had to pull our van over the road because of a significant shaking (vibration) of the whole vehicle. The entire incident was captured on our security camera. There is no reason why the car would just combust out of the blue. It was bought and service los regularly at the dealership. This car was less than 2 years old, 37,000 miles on it. The hood had disintegrated and the entire engine and all the parts in the hood were burnt and melted. Firefighters thankfully put out the fire within 8 minutes from when it started. The entire hood of my car was up in flames (4-5ft tall) within 5 minutes from smoke to full fire. Within 3 minutes fire was coming up through the hood of the car. My husband, kids and I immediately got out of the car and see wafts of smoke rising from the hood. We see smoke coming up from the hood of the car. When my husband turned off the car, we immediately smelled something burning. We came home from the movie theater (which was only 5 miles away) and parked our car in the our driveway. ![]()
