2010 Honda Odyssey engine problems

Filed Oct 10, 2024 · Engine · NC

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 federal safety agency 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.

Honda service bulletin [XXX] 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dealer is not even remotely interested in repairing the issue based on [XXX] because of the 8 year extended warranty is no longer applicable.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.

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.

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.
