problem #2

May 262013

Odyssey

  • 49,000 miles
While slowing down for a traffic light, engine was running rough and misfiring. Cel was flashing and check vsa and emissions came on. Found out engine oil level was literally zero. Called Honda. Later found out there is a service bulletin for this issue. Took it to dealership and they followed tsb11-033. Honda rep called back and said they need to monitor engine oil level and told me to bring it back in 1000 miles to check oil level. Did that at 50000 miles and dealer found normal. Again at 53000 miles the problem repeated today Sep 8, 2013. Will be calling Honda today or Monday. Seems like the issue may be with vcm. Very disappointed with this Honda vehicle.

My Honda Odyssey has "stalled" on numerous occasions. It happens most often when you are slowing down to near stop and then need to rapidly accelerate (ie, you are approaching a red light that then turns green). It often pauses and stutters (almost like it jumps) before actually accelerating. It has never completely cut off, it just feels like it is going too. This problem always occurs on an incline as well. For example, if must stop on a hill and then accelerate - it feels like it will most certainly cut off before rapidly starting to accelerate several seconds later. One time, several months ago, I actually had to have the vehicle towed in because it was doing it so much and I was afraid to drive it on the highway. I was told by the Honda dealer that it was a spark plug problem (corroded or something) and these were replaced. However, the problem has persisted. Vehicle is currently in the shop again because it is now occurring every single time I drive it. Currently, have about 40,000 miles on it.
