On june 16, 2000 my 2000 honda odyessy was rear ended or hit by another vehicle in the rear bumper. The cause of the accident was the transmission failure with only 6,000 miles on the odyessy. I was southbound on euclid ave. At interstate 5. I was stopped at a red light in a uphill position. I was the first vehicle at the light. When the light turn green, I proceeded to go and my odyssey transmission slipped and then caught and then the engine stalled out. This caused the odyssey to lurch forward and then stop suddenly. When the odyssey stopped I still had my foot on the gas to go so that no brake lights came on to warn the drivers to my rear that my vehicle was about to stop. My odyssey was hit in the rear bumper by the vehicle to my rear. The accident was reported to the anaheim police who came to the scene and made report # dr no 00-23199. The vehicle to my rear was without insurance. I reported this accident to honda of america and the called me back to inform me that they would not assume responsibility for the damages to my vehicle. I have not had an appraisal of my damages yet it could be several thousand dollars. I am holding off because on the appraisal because the vehicle behind mine had no insurance and american honda claims no responsibility. On a separate incident on june 24, 2000 my left rear tire blue out at 70 MPH with only 7,500 miles on it. I came to a safe stop and had the tire replaced for $100.00 . Another problem is that the brakes grind with a metal to metal sound when coming to a complete stop. Another problem is that my power steering sometimes hesitates and jerks. Another problem is when running the rear airconditioning on high the rear blower speed fluctuates like as if it has a bad connection. Another problem that I have noticed since the colder weather around november, 2000 when I use the defroster on the front windows it smells like an electrical fire, or like wires are burning. *ak (dot number: m30d tiresize: p215/65r16)
There is a loud wind/vibration noise from front left side around windshield and or driver's door. Noise is constant when driving on open highways.we have returned it to the dealer twice. First time the dealer adjusted drivers door (which was out of spec according to dealer). Second time, replaced rubber molding/insulation on drivers door which was defective. After both visits, the noise continues to be a problem during highway driving. When the noise appears you can feel a vibration in the interior molding on the left side of the windshield.
Husband tapped windowshield from the inside of car to kill small bug and windshield cracked on the outside. Windshield is indented on the outside. The inside has no cracks or marks. Husband and I could not remember any objects hitting the windshield during a recent trip. Talked to dealer about posssible defeat. Dealer has not returned calls. Very concerned about tapping windshield or the possibility of objects hitting the windshield.
Drivers side mirror broke away, but intact mirror glass fell out. Poor design , compromises safety by eliminating rear vision.
