Inappropriate autonomous braking
In a letter dated October 31, 2013, Honda Motor Company (Honda) submitted a recall notice to the federal safety agency's Office of Defects Investigation describing a defect in the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system in approximately 344,187 model year (MY) 2007 and 2008 Honda Odyssey vehicles produced from August 8, 2006 through September 8, 2008 (the federal safety agency Recall 13V‑500, Honda Recall JC5).The report describes a defect condition caused by a combination of VSA system components and software that is unique to the MY 2007-2008 Honda Odyssey vehicles.The condition may result in unexpected brake application by the VSA system with no brake lamp illumination.The braking forces resulting from the condition can approach the maximum braking capability of the vehicle.Honda's investigation determined that (1) if the yaw rate sensor off-set exceeds a certain value, (2) the sensor calibration is not completed before the vehicle starts moving after start-up, and (3) the vehicle is driven in a specific manner; the VSA system may build hydraulic pressure in the brake system resulting in heavy, unexpected braking without the driver applying the brake pedal.Honda estimates that the parts necessary to correct this condition will not be available until March 2014.Pending part availability, Honda will send interim letters to affected owners including instructions to avoid the defect condition using a procedure to ensure proper VSA system calibration after each vehicle start-up, as well as instructions about what to do if unexpected brake application occurs while driving.Once the remedy parts are available, Honda will send a second notice advising owners to bring their vehicle to their dealer for installation of a redesigned yaw rate sensor.This investigation is closed.

My car is a 2007 odyseey and seatbelt light is on constant and will not go off,I guess my car was not included in takata seatbelt recall and now dealer wants a thousand dollars to fix even though it's a safety recall but not on my VIN number and has not come up on my vehicle yet. My car is due for inspection next month and I just paid 2 thousand to fix everything else .and now it will not pass with light on.when will recall come up on my vehicle
The vsa light check engine light and fuel light here and there keeps coming on I just had this vehicle for 4 years already I just had the engine oil leak fixed I changed oil every 6 months. Also had the alternator and starter changed as well as battery replaced. Is there any possibility the software on the vehicle needs to be updated?
Air bag , transmission, fuel cap always on ,doors electric problems ,vehicle stability off not working
Steering is stiff and hard to turn in slow driving while parking or turning.vsa sign is always on.
When I go to pass or accelerate my vehicles brake feel they are being activated or something is misfiring. This happens every time I drive my vehicle. There is a recall on the vsa for 2007 honda odysseys already but mine is not included in this recall but I think differently. After this happens while I'm driving the vsa light stays illuminated which makes me presume it has something to do with the recall. What do I need to do to verify that mine is indeed not a part of this recall or have it fixed properly under this recall?.
Sliding door with not latch and battier does not charge.
A vsa with a triangle warning sign is on in my dashboard, I scare the ABS brakes will not work properly and it doesn't work the vsa switch on the left side of the dash neither to switch on or off, I check tires and looks ok the pressure of each, is any recall about this problem with this honda odissey '07?
While driving my 2007 model honda odessey, on june 5th 2018 without any warning signs, vehicle shut off, dash went off. Tried to apply brake, it didn't work. Somehow managed to put the park gear to pull over to a left turn line to avoid collision with other vehicles on the road. 911 was alerted since the vehicle was blocking the left turn line and was not able to even open the door to come out of the van. After few minutes I was able to turn it on and there was no engine sign. No injuries or damage was sustained. I continued driving the van home. After two weeks the engine sign came up and we took it to the honda authorized dealership. They couldn't find anything wrong which causes this engine shutdown abruptly. They were unable to duplicate the problem. After two days the battery went down. So we replaced the battery with a new one. On july 21, my cousin was driving the van and the same happened again. He pulled over to the side and after few attempts it started again and he rode back and parked at his house. On july 24th, we tried to turn it on but the battery was down. We jump started it on 27th and took it to the same dealership. They kept it doing several tests until july 31st and found nothing wrong with it. They ok'd us to take the vehicle since they couldn't duplicate the issue . We are very much concerned to ride it again fear of safety to our own life and the other innocent fellows on the road. We reported the honda customer service and they suggested to take it to another dealership. They are not willing to take any responsibility if something happens when we drive the van. We searched online and found few others has reported the same kind of incidents for the same model but different year. I am requesting the federal safety agency investigate on this issue and give your recommendations
Vsa light came on then the car will not go over 2000 rpms and the steering gets hard. The brakes go to floor making hard brake feel. This happened on the interstate.
