Honda Odyssey Engine Safety Report | Sept 01, 2011
Reported on Sept 01, 2011
| MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAS STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. IT HAPPENS MOST OFTEN WHEN YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN TO NEAR STOP AND THEN NEED TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE (IE, YOU ARE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT THAT THEN TURNS GREEN). IT OFTEN PAUSES AND STUTTERS (ALMOST LIKE IT JUMPS) BEFORE ACTUALLY ACCELERATING. IT HAS NEVER COMPLETELY CUT OFF, IT JUST FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TOO. THIS PROBLEM ALWAYS OCCURS ON AN INCLINE AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, IF MUST STOP ON A HILL AND THEN ACCELERATE - IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL MOST CERTAINLY CUT OFF BEFORE RAPIDLY STARTING TO ACCELERATE SEVERAL SECONDS LATER. ONE TIME, SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I ACTUALLY HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED IN BECAUSE IT WAS DOING IT SO MUCH AND I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALER THAT IT WAS A SPARK PLUG PROBLEM (CORRODED OR SOMETHING) AND THESE WERE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS NOW OCCURRING EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE IT. CURRENTLY, HAVE ABOUT 40,000 MILES ON IT. *TR | |
