I came to a stop at the stop sign and dropped off the my kids for PE at a local church. After the stop sign I went left going slowly because of kids in the area. I then went around a dark grey minivan that was pulled over on my right side of the road letting her kids out for PE. I then proceeded to take another left. I was pulling into the first parking space close to the PE field, with a fully turned steering wheel, as in doing a U turn. Since I was going slow my right foot was lightly pressing the brake. My minivan was in the parking spot and I was creeping closer to the concrete parking stop with my right foot pressing more down on the brake so I can come to a complete stop. I was about to place the car in park when the engine revved, the car jerked, it accelerated sending me up and over the curb and into the grassy median in front of the parking space and into a tree. The coaches and one other person came running to assist me since I was in shock. There was smoke coming out of the engine so I placed the minivan in park and shut the engine off. The airbags did not deploy.
I was in a parking lot going less than 5 miles an hour and was turning right into a parking space. My foot was on the brake, but the car lurched forward and accelerated over the cement chock block, hitting a pole in front of the store.
My odyssey is 19,600 miles. I'm experiencing vibrations in brake paddle, accelerator paddle and steering wheel when braking and while accelerating between 35-40 miles. Took this vehicle to service center, they wrap rotors. So, braking vibrations are gone, but accelerator vibration is on. Honda service center cannot resolve it as vibration is not heavy. This seems to be common problem with many honda odyssey owners. I request you to help resolving this issue for me and all owners for once and all.
Tl* the contact owned a 2003 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle accelerated without warning, the contact depressed the brake pedal, but they failed to stop the vehicle. The contact lost control and crashed into five vehicles. The contact sustained chest and neck injuries and nose bleeding that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a police lot. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 205,000.
While reducing speed with brake, steering shaking badly. It happens especially when reducing speed by braking from highway speed like 5,60mph or higher. This feels me dangerous especially braking while not in straight road. Especially suddenly reaching to the end of traffic jam in curved road, hard to control driving along the curve with such steering shaking. This shake is that much bad. I researched online and many people claiming about this issue of this make of this model but how the dealer deal with this issue is different depends on dealer.
Driving down the highway at 55 MPH when the accelerator stopped working and vehicle came to a complete stop without braking. Engine was still running but there was no acceleration possible. Shut engine off and restarted. Held accelerator pedal all the way to the floor with no acceleration for 10-15 seconds. Then, all of a sudden, the van lunged forward. Had van towed to dealership and the mechanic tried to drive into garage to check with computer. He pressed the accelerator to the floor and no response until, again, it lunged forward. Dealership has had the van for almost 3 weeks and can not replicate the problem while hooked up to the computer.
No acceleration response to depressed accelerator pedal for about 1 to 2 seconds, when pulling away from traffic lights.
While parking into a spot in a parking lot, the vehicle surged forward on its own at an alarming speed and crashed into a parked car. Driver airbag was deployed. No injuries. Police report was filed.
