Spouse was leaving house driving out the driveway when she stop the car due to smoke coming from center console. She turned the vehicle off and informed me of smoke and smell in vehicle. I got a fire extinguisher and ran to car. No visible fire present or smoke but just a burned electrical smell. Inspected wiring that was visible around center console and nothing discovered at that time. Vented car and restarted with no increase in burned smell or more smoke. Operationally checked vehicle and had no radio sound. No fuses blown in electrical system. Took car to dealer and was not able with any positive assurance after two hour of troubleshooting what the problem was. Wanted to start swapping parts to isolate failure. Thought the $1000 radio of the dvd entertainment system could be bad. Took car home and removed integrated radio and dismantled only to find a burned up power supply on one of the internal circuit boards. Sent radio out for repair for $200 instead of $1000 replacement cost. Poor troubleshooting by dealer could have led to future fire in electrical system.

SRS warning light remains illuminated on dash board. The dash lights illuminated and the steering wheel audio controls went haywire. When the consumer pushed the up button on the radio, it changed the track number. When the consumer pushed the down button, it turnred the volume up. One dealer replaced the steering column and fixed the audio problem. This didn't work. Another dealer replaced the alternator, which seemed to have worked.

I own a 2002 Honda Odyssey which has had several problems. These are 1.windshield that was not seated prperly and would whistle when driving at 55mph. This took 4 visits to the dealer before resolution which was a new windshield. 2. the SRS light for the side restraint system comes on, the dealer states it is because of a sensor but it must be reset by the dealer. I am told not to put anything on the front passenger seat to cause the sensor to go on. I wonder if this includes passengers too? I have also been told tha tplugging my phone into the electrical outlet provided wii also mtrip the sensor. 3. the last and most major problem is the transmission. In July I experienced episodes where after applying pressure to the gas pedal, the rpms would go up but there was no acceleration. Itook the car to the dealer and they were "unable to duplicate the problem". of course the problem continued periodically when we drove the car. Yesterday after driving the car it was put in park. We could then not get the car to shift out of park. It was unmovable. After letting the car set for 1 hour, tryed again, was able to get it out of park and could drive it but could not put it back into park. I had to leave it in neutral with the emergency brake on. I understand that there have been numerous problems with the transmissions on the Honda Odyssey. I am very concerned about the safety of my vehicle especially while on the road. It seems as though there has been no acknowledgement by the company to share these issues with the consumer. We have to find out about on our own.
