Honda Odyssey Electrical System Safety Report | Feb 25, 2011
Reported on Feb 25, 2011
| THIS LITTLE YELLOW ALARM MESSAGE FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD: BATTERY CHARGE LOW - SWITCH OFF ALL LIGHTS AND ELECTRICAL DEVICES AND THEN IT SHUTS EVERYTHING OFF...OVERHEAD LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS - THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT LIGHT CAN BE ON AND WE CAN DRIVE CLEAR TO TACOMA BEFORE IT GOES OFF. WE CAN HAVE JUST RETURNED HOME AFTER A TRIP TO MONROE (ALMOST 100 MILES) AND WE WILL GET THAT MESSAGE AND - AGAIN - IT WILL SHUT EVERYTHING OFF. THE CAR HAS NOT SHUT DOWN WHILE WE ARE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD - BUT IT IS FRIGHTENING TO SEE THAT MESSAGE WHEN WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY. I CAN GO BY THE CAR WHEN IT IS IN THE GARAGE AND SHUT OFF AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I WILL HEAR THE BEEPING AND THEN I WILL SEE THE ALARM MESSAGE FLASHING IN THE CAR. THE CAR IS OFF! NO ONE TOUCHED THE CAR - BUT IT STARTS FLASHING! THEY KEEP TELLING US WE NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR MORE....BUT COME ON - IT IS 95 MILES TO MONROE! *TR | |
