I was driving on the 400 in west seneca ny and a truck entered at the union rd exit. there was no other vehicle around me and something came out of the uncovered dumpster the truck was carrying and hit my windshield leaving a crack.
Van was parked inside a garage with no damage. walked into the garage hours later and noticed the drivers rear quarter panel window cracking and breaking apart on its own. glass breakage pattern appears to be spontaneous window failure possibly due to manufacturing defect. may cause safety hazard if i were driving the vehicle with kids in the rear seat and it gave way then.
On the us 2018 honda odyssey model, there is no low windshield washer fluid warning. this is a major safety issue as i found this out on a sloppy, salty wisconsin interstate next to a semi with my wife and kids in the vehicle. salt on a windshield gives you zero visibility without washer fluid, and luckily i was able to exit the interstate and make it to a gas station to fill with washer fluid without incident. my 2000 explorer and 2010 rav4 have low washer fluid warning lights. with the 1000s of dollars of active and passive safety features built into the odyssey, consumers expect the inexpensive simple things like a low washer fluid warning. this should be subject to recall.
My backup camera does not function or cannot be viewed due to error messages, system freezing, camera errors which is unsafe. the radio is effected and the hvac controls, too. this happens randomly while driving, when starting the car as well. i have rear windows that will not roll up, which is unsafe. wipers also do not function correctly. they wipe too slow or too fast and cannot be controlled, which is unsafe. these conditions have happened since vehicle was new and continue to happen. honda does not have a fix for this.
If i buy a new 2018 honda odyssey at around 4000 miles start having transmission problems at around five to six thousand miles i start getting a horrible toxic burning chemical smell coming from inside the car somewhere do you take it to the dealership they say nothing's wrong obviously there is something wrong with his doing what it's doing
The front window washer will not dispense fluid when the weather is cold. dealership said fluid freezes in the bottle, but that's not true because back nozzle works. front nozzles work if van left in garage overnight. this morning, after 15 min of driving in 10 degrees, front nozzles do not dispense. honda dealership shrugged when i said it's a safety issue. dry snow, salt, ice, mud thrown on windshield when driving, and no way to effectively clear it off. washer fluid was filled by dealership one week ago. dispenser bottle is 95% full. the issue is somewhere between dispenser bottle and front nozzles. this first happened yesterday evening when i was driving home in the dark (about 10 degrees out). windshield was dangerously dirty by the time i got home.
