This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The night before Christmas Eve, I was commuting home from the neighboring city, which is about a 25 minute drive home from where I was currently located. It was late in the evening and 2 of my children were in the car with me. I live in a rural area that is extremely dark in most of the areas. As I'm driving along both of my low beams go out without warning. This made for a very dangerous situation. I reacted as quickly as I could to prevent an accident and tried my high beams. Fortunately, they turned on but unfortunately I had to drive the rest of the way home with my high beams on possibly blinding any driver that came in contact with me. Currently the low beams still are not working. I have read forum, after forum, after forum stating how this is a problem from a 2004 to at least a 2010 Odyssey before I discontinued reading any further. I'm not exactly sure what causes but I do know it's not caused by the spark plus, the light bulbs and there is no individual relay for this vehicle low beams independently.
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. The contact was driving approximately 40 mph, and when pressure was applied to the brakes there was an extremely slow response. The rear brakes were replaced twice by an independent mechanic. There was a recall associated with NHTSA campaign id 10V504000 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder). The contact stated that the VIN was included and the vehicle was in the process of being repaired. In addition, the battery was defective, and the rear license plate light failed to function. The vehicle was repaired by the dealer previously for the failures. The failure mileage was 30,000. Updated 12/19/11
1. interior vehicle lights seem to indicate exterior lights are on when they are not. Exterior lights are off at night time. The inability to detect exterior lights are on at night. 2. exterior imitation chrome peels off cheap plastic. 3. poor steering quality for a new vehicle.
2006 Honda Odyssey, dash board is illuminated during the day, as evening approaches its hard to tell you need to put you lights on. I often find myself driving into the night with no headlights on because of this. Others have expressed same concern regarding this safety hazard.
