The vsa warning light keeps coming on along with an exclamation sign. It prevents acceleration and causes temporary loss of power while driving. Also, prevents use of cruise control. It temporarily resets when engine is turned off but then turns on again while driving. This occurs while vehicle is in motion on city streets as well as highways.

While driving my 2007 model Honda odessey, on June 5th 2018 without any warning signs, vehicle shut off, dash went off. Tried to apply brake, it didn't work. Somehow managed to put the park gear to pull over to a left turn line to avoid collision with other vehicles on the road. 911 was alerted since the vehicle was blocking the left turn line and was not able to even open the door to come out of the van. After few minutes I was able to turn it on and there was no engine sign. No injuries or damage was sustained. I continued driving the van home. After two weeks the engine sign came up and we took it to the Honda authorized dealership. They couldn't find anything wrong which causes this engine shutdown abruptly. They were unable to duplicate the problem. After two days the battery went down. So we replaced the battery with a new one. On July 21, my cousin was driving the van and the same happened again. He pulled over to the side and after few attempts it started again and he rode back and parked at his house. On July 24th, we tried to turn it on but the battery was down. We jump started it on 27th and took it to the same dealership. They kept it doing several tests until July 31st and found nothing wrong with it. They ok'd us to take the vehicle since they couldn't duplicate the issue. We are very much concerned to ride it again fear of safety to our own life and the other innocent fellows on the road. We reported the Honda customer service and they suggested to take it to another dealership. They are not willing to take any responsibility if something happens when we drive the van. We searched online and found few others has reported the same kind of incidents for the same model but different year. I am requesting NHTSA investigate on this issue and give your recommendations

On July 15, 2017 we were loading the van for vacation and the passenger sliding door fell off, landing on my 14 year daughters leg/foot. On August 28, 2017 my son went to unlock the van and pressed the sliding door opener by accident, the passenger door again fell off. The door fell off on top of my 8 year old son. The kids were therefore late for their first day of school. When the door fell off, it bent the track and scratched the whole passenger back side of my van. While my daughter and I tried putting the door back on the door slipped out of the track again and damaged the front passenger door, denting the bottom of the front passenger door. That afternoon I went to the Honda dealer in grandville Michigan and talked to randy howes. He refused to listen to me and directed me to look in the manual and contact Honda. So I called the 1-800 number in my manual. I retold what had happened and was told this was a serious incident and that I would hear back with in 2 days. After a week a began calling again, I finally received a call back from rio wardana from Honda. I retold him again what had happened and told him I wanted the door fixed and the damaged fixed that the door caused. He was very disrespectful and told me he had never heard of any door falling off a Honda van. I informed him of the 100S of complaints on line but he refused to listen. I was told the door falling off was my fault and not Honda. I asked him what to do because the other door was acting funny as well. He said to use the hatch back door for entering if I needed to and he hung up on me. I have been battling Honda ever since and can get no where. My door is not dangerous. I cannot have my children near it with the fear of it falling off again and I can find no one to help me with this case. Please tell me what to do to hold Honda accountable for their vehicle safety concern!!

My Honda Odyssey shuts off completely while driving, at that time you can't turn the steering wheel (or it is very very hard to turn). This is preceded by usually the lights on dashboards flashing. Sometimes it will shut off (dashboard will go black) and come right back after few seconds. Other times the I have to stop and turn it on again and it works. Yesterday it turned off and the car came to stop then I moved the battery little and the hazard light started flashing. When it's completely dead even hazard light would not blink. Today it happened again and even after moving the battery it did not get power back. I had left the hazard light on but it was not blinking. However after around 5 minutes or so on it's own the hazard light started blinking and I could drive off.

While driving 60mph on the freeway, I heard a "click" suddenly all lights on the dashboard went out and the engine shut off. The security key light blinked letting me know it was a security issue but my chip key was in the ignition the whole time. I had to steer off to the shoulder, put vehicle in park, turn key off, then back on again and it drove away fine. I'm really thankful that it did not do this during peak traffic or it easily could have caused an accident with my children in the vehicle. Since I was behind the wheel on the freeway, I did not take a picture of the dash completely off except for the security key light flashing.
