general problems of the 2012 Honda Odyssey

Misfire in cylinder 1 caused van to lose power on freeway almost causing an accident. From 2011-2013 there was a settlement that gave an 8 year extended warranty, but why is it only 8 years when not everyone’s driving is the same? my van was brought to the Honda dealer check engine light came on, then it flashes.

Engine working but no power while driving the car when push gas.

Got the p3400 and/or the p3497 error codes after engine and found my oil was at almost nothing. Oil light never went on. Have also had to change my spark plugs twice in two years. I am so glad my car did not seize up on me. Had to add 3 quarts of oil and got my oil changed two months ago.

I have had the same problems that everyone has since I bought this van new (may 2012). Around 41,000 miles (Aug 2014) had warning lights & codes come up. Honda replaced cylinders 1-3 & work order also showed service bulletin 13-081, repalced under warranty. Then I smelled oil & saw a small leak in sept 2014. Honda found leaking valve cover gasket, replaced under warranty. Took van to florida. When we got there we had to take the van to a Honda shop for a low tone knocking noise while idling and louder when accelerating. They had the van for 4 days. Honda provided a free rental. Honda wrote on work order. 43307 worn camshaft lobe causing knocking noise 36108, performed inspection found noise coming from front cylinder head, called techline, techline instructed to inspect for worn cam shaft, pulled valve cover found cylinder #6 intake lobe worn. Removed and replaced front cylinder head camshaft & camshaft seal. Noise gone. It also responds better when pushing gas pedal & gas mileage improved. I bet I have had about $5000 worth of warranty work done at this time just from under the hood. During all this, I contacted the better business bureau & Honda was notified. I have been complaining to corporate Honda from the beginning about this van & they always would say that nothing is wrong. Finally I get a call from corporate Honda to tell me they found nothing from my visit involving replacement of my cylinders. Boy was he misinformed and got an earfull. I have also had my front rotors resurfaced (35,657 miles), got a goodwill warranty. They should give a goodwill warranty with all the Honda vehicles we have bought. Each van I buy (1995, 2005, 2012) gets worse and lasts for a shorter lenght of time before I feel I can't trust it for a trip out of town. I am starting to experience little issues again like I did when I first bought this van.

We bought this vehicle with my aunt[xxx] for our family, we were breaking it in around 400 plus miles and we notice there is a vibration when the vcm or variable cylinder management turns on. So we took it a the dealership we bought it from which is norm reeves Honda in west covina CA. Humming vibration noise when the vcm turns on at any speed. To whom it may concern, sept 27 2012 me and my aunt just bought a bought brand new 2012 Honda Odyssey ex sept 21,2012 with only 33 miles on it, we notice a vibration in the engine so I took it to norm reeves Honda 1 888 637 7262 on sept 27, 2012 with 622 miles on it and spoke to [xxx] service advisor I told them that there is a vibrations in the engine, wind noise, alignment problem and the rear sliding door not being pushed. He send a guy to meet me which he's name is[xxx] a service diagnostics who come with me for a test drive, so we went and he notices the vibration, wind noise and the sliding rear door not being plush and the alignment. [xxx] told me that they will hook up the computer system of Honda to see the problem with the vibrations we head back to the dealer and he told the service advisor about it. So I left Odyssey with them the whole day, I got a call from [xxx] around 4:30 ish and told me they fixed the rear door striker, the rear sliding door the fixed also, alignment is now straight and the top part of the door is plushed but the lower door is not plushed any more, they fixed the alignment, they said the wind noise is normal, regarding the vibration, they told me that they drove the new one and they drive the same. They is a big problem here and they just not saying. Pls help us out information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

When traveling at a low speed and try to accelerate, the vehicle does not respond for 3 to 5 seconds. Very dangerous when trying to make a left turn or getting onto highway.

Our brand new 2012 Honda Odyssey touring elite judders between 25-40 mph between shifts. The judder can be anywhere from mild and very transient to rough bucking that lasts for over 2 seconds before it smooths out. Under mild or heavy acceleration, I have not not noticed the judder. It seems to only happen under moderate acceleration. It also seems to occur more violently while going uphill. It happens at least 90% of the time during the shift between 2nd and 3rd gears under moderate (typical) acceleration. This judder results in a loss of expected acceleration and decreased control of the vehicle. While researching this problem, it became obvious that I am not the only person experiencing this issue and feel that Honda must recall these vehicles to permanently repair the underlying issue. This issue affects more than just the 2012 model year.

2012 Honda Odyssey has a shuttering at various speeds. This seems most prevalent around 40+ miles per hour, however, it can happen at varying speeds. I have set an appointment with Honda dealer (lehigh valley Honda for Tuesday, January 31. I was informed by the service consultant that this is a known issue, but that there is no fix for this at this time. I filed a complaint with Honda motor corporation regarding this issue. This van is approximately two weeks old and experiencing this shuttering problem. You can feel the vibrations in the steering wheel and in the drivers seat. Additionally, you can hear it as long as you are in a quiet environment. Please investigate as other consumers seem to be experiencing this same issue regarding model years 2011 & 2012. Thank you.
