the problem only happens after driving for more than 30 minutes. when I stop at a light, the engine starts shaking and stalls. the starter seems cranking normally, but it takes about 3 attempts and about 40 seconds to restart. One day, the engine stopped while I was driving. There is no Check Engine Light. I took it to Honda dealer. but they keep saying they cannot replicate the problem. It is so dangerous to drive this car.

One day my car just turned on. Lights come on will not turn off. Dashboard lights up with every symbol blinking, relays under the hood turning off turning on non-stop. Took it to the Honda dealer, who said I needed a VSA module. Only catch here is the part will not be available until October 2024. 4 months from now. Was told they put me at the bottom of the list as my car is 7 years old. Newer vehicles get priority. Rich people first poor people last. When it would run car would randomly just turn off while driving. Car unsafe to operate.

At the time of the accident (06/22/2016), I had only owned this 2016 honda odyssey for a month (didn't even have plates on it yet). I dropped off a passenger at the front of the diner and drove slowly east through the parking lot. The lot is narrow, crowded, and busy, which is why I did not have my foot on the accelerator at any time. Instead, my foot was on the brake regulating a very slow, creeping speed. I decided to park in a stall that faced west which meant I needed to make a moderately wide, hard, right u-turn. There are short security poles at the head of these stalls to protect diners inside. The vehicle was about 150 into the turn, about five feet away from the pole when it suddenly surged and accelerated on its own. I was confused because I was very aware that my foot was on the brake pedal. I stepped down on it, but it was too late. The van surged into the rest of the turn and slammed into the parking pole leaving a deep dent in the front bumper. Because I felt unsafe driving it, it was towed to the dealership's service center. The next day, after checking the car's computer, honda found no fault codes so could offer no reassurances that this would not happen again. I submitted the repair of the bumper to my insurance company so that there is record of this event.
