Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)BOTH MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID FROZE IN THE LINES MAKING IT INOPERABLE. I LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY AND ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN COLD, CURRENT TEMPERATURES SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. EVEN AFTER RUNNING THE CAR FOR AN HOUR THE LINES HAVE NOT THAWED. I BELIEVE IT IS A BAD DESIGN. NO ONE ELSE I KNOW HAS THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE FLUID BECAUSE THE FLUID FOR BOTH CARS CAME FROM TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES AND BOTH WERE RATED FOR -25 DEGREES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THERY HAVE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF CALLS. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *AK
AUTOMATIC DOORS SOMETIMES FAIL TO CLOSE COMPLETELY, STOPPING MID-WAY. NEED TO RESTART CAR TO CLOSE THEM. WARNING LIGHTS (ALL) LIT UP MULTIPLE TIMES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES EACH TIME; THEN WENT OFF. CARBON DEPOSIT BUILD-UP IN THROTTLE CABLE MAKES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL VERY STICKY AND I NEED TO CONSTANTLY REMIND HONDA SERVICE TO CLEAN AND LUBRICATE; OTHERWISE, IT BECOMES VERY STICKY AND I NEED TO PUSH HARD ON PEDAL ~ LEADING TO HARD ACCELERATION.
WHILE DRIVING PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED AND SHATTERED INTO PIECES, CAUSING INJURY TO DRIVER.*AK *JG
WHILE BACKING FROM DRIVEWAY OUR REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED (WITH POPPING SOUND). CAR HAD BEEN IN SHADED AREA WITH AIR CONDITIONING ON FULL BEFORE I PUT VAN IN REVERSE GEAR. THE TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 PM ON HOT SUNNY DAY. WHEN NEW WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED IT WAS DISCOVERED THE WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLY NEAR BASE OF WIPER SHAFT WAS CRACKED. ON A HONDA ODESSEY VAN THE REAR WINDOW WIPER SHAFT IS INSTALLED THROUGH HOLE IN WINDSHIELD AND THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY WAS HOUSED INSIDE LIFTGATE.*AK
