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.
While driving approximately 50 mph on rural paved highway, our 2010 Honda Odyssey van applied moderate braking (with zero driver input) to the left-front wheel twice within a second or two of each other. This braking caused the van to pull moderately to the left and nearly cross the highway centerline. The vsa light icon (vehicle stability assist) flashed on the dash during this event. This happened on a sunny, dry day with temperature around 70F. Van was traveling on a perfectly straight section of highway. No traction issues whatsoever.
Check engine light started flashing, vsa light came on, rough idle, felt like it was going to shut off when stopped at lights. Took my van in to see why check engine light was flashing. After diagnostics, was told that piston 3 was misfiring, and these engines are notorious for this misfire issue.
Traction control / ABS activates while turning at 10 - 30 mph regardless of road conditions. Honda dealer indicates the yaw rate cluster sensor for ABS requires replacement. This is a know defect that was recalled on 2008 and earlier Honda Odyssey products. It appears that the same part is used up to 2011. Honda says this is my problem, there is no defect.
