general problems of the 2010 Honda Odyssey

The incidents of sudden acceleration while braking on this model are vast. My van has experienced several sudden un-commanded acceleration incidents while braking starting in 2022. Honda lawyers are in control and thus no technical explanation. My last event was on [xxx] post hurricane helene in asheville n. C. The response of the NHTSA is needed due to people of modest means need to keep their car as long as possible. This requires honest service information from Honda. Honda has reaped a well deserved dividend cultivating the belief that their product with careful use can last 20 years or more. Honda does not deserve to reap this benefit while failing to execute an honest service which creates an unsafe vehicle. In 2023 the throttle position sensor and its complete assembly was replaced in hope of a resolution. I will now replace the engine control cpu after the [xxx] incident. These repairs and expense are un-diagnosed non-obd supported “shots in the dark” because Honda will not recognize the failure.

We had driven less than half a mile, and we’re sitting in traffic to turn when all of the warning lights came on and the van shut off. We restarted the car and the same thing happened. Then there was a popping noise and smoke began coming from under the hood. Within 2 minutes the van caught on fire. The entire engine compartment burned, as did the windshield and part of the dashboard.

My car self-combusted and caught fire while parked in my driveway. The fire started in the hood of the car and continued for 30 minutes or so despite my best efforts to put out with my hose. The fire department had to come to put out the fire. The car was parked for 90 minutes from last usage and no one was in the car. The temperature outside was around 80 degrees. This is potentially a huge safety risk for Odyssey owners. The car had 124k miles on it and had done the full 120k maintenance service at Honda dealer (Honda of kirkland). The car was serviced per regular maintenance schedule by the Honda dealer. Hard to believe a car will go up in flames on my driveway like that. See pictures. Fire department was from eastside fire station 33. Captain kurt mcgowan. Fire witnessed by many of my neighbors who also tried to help me put out the fire before fire truck came.

Honda service bulletin 13-080 I recently discovered after doing some research on why my 2010 Odyssey is showing cylinder1 misfire code. I replaced the injectors, swapped coil packs, etc. Still cylinder1 misfire issue. Now I find out that Honda is aware of this issue and related to vcm and some rings on piston(s) aligning. Fortunately for Honda, the 8 years unlimited miles is most likely out of a window where statistically the issue will be seen. That is my case. Sept 25, 2021 is when this first started, and has continued to be an issue. I never received notice from Honda since this is a used van. Anyway, I would like some assistance in rectifying this issue for our family van. My local Honda dealer is not even remotely interested in repairing the issue based on 13-080 because of the 8 year extended warranty is no longer applicable. I need help from Honda na. If you know there is an issue with ring alignment, extending this for 8 years doesn't seem like you are capturing the majority of the problems; most likely a calculated risk. . . My Odyssey didn't show the issue until 11 years after the 2010 manufacturing date. . . Fortunate for Honda. I need help from Honda on this, even to meet me 1/2 way to cover repair costs. This seems unacceptable to me that an issue as serious as this, known by Honda, and won't be addressed. Please help. Thank you, klaus 949-412-0402.

Keep getting a cylinder 3 misfire and leaking values.

My steering wheel was hard to steer at times. Mostly it felt like it would lock-up on its own. During driving. Whenever I notice a fluid leak in my driveway. I contact my local Honda dealership. Cause I purchased the car June 12, 2020. I had purchased extended warranty, to help pay for repairs. Honda dealership had to replace factory power steering pump and power-steering high pressure hose. Which cost me out of pocket of $ 1,365. 03. This item was not covered under extended warranty. I was told by the dealership, when purchased in 2010, there was a re-call on this item.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while the wife was driving a burning odor was present. After parking and exiting the vehicle smoke and flames were present coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The fire department was called to the scene and extinguished the fire. During the incident the vehicle was destroyed. A fire report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the fire was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 79,000. Jft.

Engine lost power all of sudden when exiting highway, barely going up on a slight uphill.

Transmission has motor lock up engine won't turn over and transmission will not go into any gear, both engine and transmission need replacing free of charge had it tow home, where it has been sitting for weeks, they said its under recall, how can I get it there if the motor lock.

Within the last 12 months multiple times I have experienced sudden unexpected acceleration of the engine while braking. When it happened, I was on a city street and was able to stop the car by hard braking to avoid a collision with the car in front of me. I then took the car out of gear (shifted to neutral) and the engine acceleration stopped. This happened today (8/21/18) and multiple times (at least five) in the past year.

Burns 2+ quarts of oil between oil changes.

Have to add oil every 1000 miles.

Fuel smell, fuel leak.

Traveling in motion at 40mph than a sudden acceleration of engine and speed. Very difficult to stop with brakes. Honda Odyssey was put on neutral than brakes were applied to stop vehicle. My vehicle was on a secondary rode at the time of sudden acceleration. We called aaa to pick up our Honda Odyssey and took it to our local mechanic for the rest of the day.

Unexpected sudden acceleration while parking.

Stopped vehicle at a stoplight that was red. Had foot on the brake. Noticed that the engine wanted to rev up and take off. Applied brake pressure harder to keep the vehicle from lurching out into oncoming vehicle. Threw the gear selector into neutral. Engine no longer went into acceleration and back to normal. I made sure that there was not any floor mat or something on the accelerator to cause this problem. This is the second time this has happened with this vehicle. I will be taking the vehicle into Honda to see what they say.

Engine mounts have failed prematurely. Engine moves and jolts car every time you come to a stop or when accelerating from a stopped position. This motion was first noticed around 72,000 miles and continued to get worse over time. Have seen online that many other Honda Odyssey drivers have experienced this problem between 65,000 and 80,000 miles driven. This is a part that shouldn't fail this early and is very expensive to fix.

Our 2010 Honday Odyssey has rolled backward while the transmission was in "park" twice. The first time we thought it was a fluke as it rolled 'only' about 18 inches. The second time the van was again in "park", and the keys were out of the ignition, a few hours later a neighbor came to inform us that the van had rolled into the street/alley which is approximately 7 feet from the original parking spot. The van is parked in an almost flat location, the "incline" of the driveway is standard rain run-off grade so less than 2% approximately.

Car went on fire and was total loss. Waiting for investigation to be completed.

At 20mph/1000rpm car stopped running. Again on 1 March @ 30mph with a different driver van again stopped running. Restarted normally both times.

Engine consumes to much oil, the variable cylinder engine needs to be turn off and allow to run on all 6 cylinders.
