1st incident Fall 2023 Approaching a stop sign, decelerating from 30mph I pressed on the brake to complete the stop but the engine roared, RPMs revved, & the vehicle accelerated, better it lurched, forward. I mashed down the brake pedal as hard as I could but it would not stop the vehicle. All I could do was put it into park. Happens almost weekly, at least 7 times, but not predictably. Once in December, I was approaching a four way stop sign around 3:30pm, I had been driving the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes & the weather was good (no ice, partly cloudy, roads clear & dry). As I came to the stop sign, pressing the brake the final time to complete the stop, it roared loudly, the RPMs jumped high, and the vehicle surged forward through the intersection. I let off the brake and tried to smash it down again, but it wouldn’t go to the floor (only a mild decompression) so I powered through the intersection, thank God no one was coming. I didn’t pull over or turn the vehicle off, I continued going my way home. 15 minutes later, turning into my driveway the brakes worked normally, like nothing had happened. [XXX] I took it to a Honda dealership. They upgraded the transmission & flushed the transmission lines three times. They were unable to replicate the issue & could not detect any codes or communication of an issue in the system. I took it home with no answers. [XXX] I was approaching a stoplight to turn left. I was driving, my brother was in the passenger seat. Weather conditions were good: clear skies, no ice/rain/snow, roads dry & clear. I had been driving the vehicle for less than 10 minutes & I had given it ~ 5 minutes to “warm up” since it’s Minnesota. I met a stop sign w/o issue, but then as I approached a nearby stoplight it surged forward just like before. I pressed the brake to complete the stop, the engine roaring so loudly my brother said “it’s gonna blow up!” Back to Honda dealership on [XXX]. Still no resolution. Can’t replicate INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

After getting a car wash from an automated car wash, while driving to a parking stall to vacuum the interior of the vehicle. In the process of turning left into the parking stall and braking to park the vehicle, the engine suddenly rev'd, accelerating the vehicle over a parking curb block and into a pole at the car wash. The resulting collision happened across the span of half a parking space and knocked the vehicle backwards a couple feet after colliding with the pole. The collision triggered both front air bags and resulted in a total loss of the vehicle and property damage of the car wash.

The transmission is not smooth at all. Rough and delayed shifts. My car minivan only has 35,000 miles on it.

While braking at 50+MPH, the steering wheel starts to shake violently. The car currently has 58,000 miles on it. This has been occurring for over a year. We have had the tires rotated and balanced, the rotors and break pads are good. This is becoming a safety hazard and honda needs to do something about this.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 honda odyssey. While driving 35 MPH, the steering wheel shook. When the brake pedal was applied, the vehicle was slow to respond.

At 26608 miles front rotors had to be resurfaced. Honda dealer did this at 'no charge for first time only.' rotors vibrated again at 50000 miles and were replaced independently with non honda parts. Now again at 70000 miles the vibration when braking is worse than ever before. Brake pads were replaced as well with no improvement. With so many owners having this issue honda needs to address it.

We have had on going problems with our rotors. They had to be machined after only 15,000 miles and replace after 30,000 miles. We replaced them with high end napa rotors since we did not trust honda rotors and honda refused to replace them. Now at 54,000 miles, the brakes are shimmying again.
