2007 Honda Odyssey Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

THE VSA CONTROL WENT OUT WHICH IS A $1500.00 REPAIR. THE HONDA ODYSSEY HAS BEEN RECALLED OVERSEAS BUT NOT IN THE U.S. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY ONLY GAVE ME A 25% DISCOUNT ON THE PART. EVEN THOUGH THIS MODEL HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A RECALL. SURPRISED AT HONDA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER RECALL IN REGARDS TO THE VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, A REPAIR WAS SCHEDULED AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT YEARS LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WITH THE VSA WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURERS RECALL REMEDY DID NOT PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13024 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I RECEIVED A LETTER DETAILING THE REACALL ON MY 2007 HONDA ODDYSEY' S VSA MODULE. I BROUGHT IN MY VEHICLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY OBSERVABLE ISSUES, BEFORE I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE RACINE, WI HONDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE WORK WAS PREFORMED I OBSERVED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS WERE ON, THE CRUISE CONTROL, AND REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER OPERATIONAL, AND THE VSA LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD AFTER THE LIGHT SWITCH HAD BEEN ENGAGED FOR 7 LITERAL MINUTES. THIS ISSUE ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH IS ENGAGED. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 4 SEPERATE OCCASIONS, AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNWILLING, AND UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN THEY OBSERVED THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE, THE HONDA MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE ERROR CODES THAT ARE SHOWING UP ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO BE OCCURING, AND THAT HE'S NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. THEY THEN TRY TO UPSELL ME, ON VARIOUS COMPONENTS ON THE VEHICLE, THAT HAVE NO OBSERVABLE DEFECTS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN, AND WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT HONDA ODDYSEY' S WERE RELIABLE. AFTER GETTING PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES BY LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR DRIVING WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS AT NIGHT, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PARK THE VEHICLE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE KENOSHA HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD NOT PERFORM THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, SINCE THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. AS A SINGLE FATHER OF THREE, I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATION WITH HONDA'S INDIFFERENCE TO THIS ISSUE, AND "CATCH US IF YOU CAN" ATTITUDE. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE REMEDY TO THE VSA RECALL, I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WHICH I STILL OWE $6000 ON ($315 MONTHLY). BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS A RESALE VALUE OF ABOUT $800, ,AND THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY WERE ESSENTIALLY UNINTERESTED, IN TAKING THIS VEHICLE IN AS A TRADE-IN. HELP!!!

VSA LIGHT STAYS ON. BRAKING IS SOFT. AFTER HARD STOP CAR SHUDDERED AND DROVE ROUGH UPON ACCELERATING . BRAKING IS NO LONGER THE SAME AS BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2007 MODEL IS HAVING A RECALL ON VSA WITH SERVICE BULLETIN 13-098 ON MALFUNCTION OF VSA IN THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS PERFORMED THIS RECALL IN 2014. NOW MY VEHICLE IS STARTED SHOWING "! VSA" ORANGE LIGHT ON THE DASH BOARD. HONDA OF FREEHOLD DEALER (WWW.HONDAOFFREEHOLD.COM) PERFORMED THE DIAGNOSTIC ($136 CHARGED) AND TOLD ME THAT ABS/VSA CONTROL UNIT PART NUMBER 57110-SHJ-A61 IS BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. COST OF THIS PART IS $1117.50 AND THE QUOTED SERVICE CHARGE IS $256.00. MY VEHICLE IS JUST COMPLETED 37,000 MILES. WHEN I SEARCH THE WEB FOR "VSA MODULATOR UNIT" FAILURE IN ODYSSEY. THERE ARE MANY CUSTOMERS REPORTED THE FAILURE OF THIS PART. HONDA IS SELLING DEFECTIVE PARTS IN THEIR VEHICLES. THIS PART IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND FAILED WITH VERY LESS MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE AND MANY OF THE CUSTOMERS REPORTED FAILURES. PLEASE TAKE AN ACTION REGARDING THIS DEFECTIVE PART IN THE HONDA VEHICLES. HONDA NEED TO PAY THE PART AND SERVICE FOR THIS.

THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V098000 FOR VSA MODULATOR. I WENT TO DEALER TO FIX THIS RECALL AROUND IN 2014 AND NOW MY ODYSSEY IS GETTING "! VSA" LIGHT ON DASHBOARD. I CHECKED THE CODE AND CODE IS "DTC 66: VSA PRESSURE SENSOR INSIDE VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT". DEALER IS SAYING VSA MODULATOR IS FAILED AND REPLACEMENT COST IS ~$1500. HONDA SOLD DEFECTIVE PART ON THIS VEHICLES AND THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT VSA FAILURES ON THIS VEHICLES. MY ODYSSEY IS ONLY 37,000 MILEAGE. THIS VSA MODULATOR CONTROLS ABS ALSO AND WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE FAILURE OF THIS MODULE. PLEASE FIND THE PHOTO OF THE DTC CODE READ BY THE AUTO SHOP. FIXING THIS MODULE IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR SELLING THE DEFECTIVE ITEMS WHICH ARE MAINLY SAFETY CONCERNS.

(1) DEALER PERFORMED THE RECALL ITEM VSA UPDATE 13-098 ON 8/5/15. AFTER THAT DRIVING HOME THE VSA WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. (2) CAME BACK TO DEALER ON 8/28/15 DEALER FOUND CODES 61-1 AND 66-1, CLAIMED IT WAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL AND WANTED TO CHARGE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. HOWEVER, VSA WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON BEFORE THE RECALL UPDATE FOR ALL TIME BEFORE.

I HAD NO PROBLEM W/ THE VSA. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND HAD THE PART REPLACED. THIS OCT,2014 I WAS DRIVING ON US-2 IN NW MT ON A SLUSHY ROAD WHEN THE VSA WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO HONDA. THEY TOLD ME THE BRAKE PART OF THE VSA UNIT WAS NOW FAULTY. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL.(REPLACEMENT COST OF THIS UNIT WAS QUOTED AS $1,100.00 W/O LABOR !!! ) WAS THIS REPLACEMENT PART ALSO DEFECTIVE?? WAS IT INCORRECTLY REPAIRED?? IS THIS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS RECALL??? WHO NOW PAYS THE REPAIR COST?

I RECEIVED A VEHICLE RECALL NOTICE IN DECEMBER 2013 AND WENT INTO TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AT TOM SCOTT HONDA IN NAMPA ID. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT 12/18/13 FOR THE REPAIR. I RECEIVED A CALL AT APPROXIMATELY 5PM STATING HONDA DOSE NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO CORRECT THIS UNSAFE CONDITION AND WON'T UNTIL NEXT YEAR SOMETIME. WHAT ARE WE AS CONSUMERS TO DO WHEN WE BEEN NOTICED OF THIS UNSAFE CONDITION AND DON'T WANT TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION. IS THE DEALER RESPONSIBLE TO PROVED US A CAR UNTIL OURS IS FIXED AND SAFE TO DRIVE? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE VSA LIGHT COMES ON. THEY REPLACED EVERYTHING AND NOW ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS. THIS OCCURRED ONE DAY AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE OF THE LOT. I WOULD HAVE HAPPILY EXCHANGED IT FOR ANOTHER ODYSSEY BUT HONDA WANTS TO STICK ME WITH THIS LEMON INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. I AM NOW DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED AND I WILL LOOK TOWARD OTHER MANUFACTURERS IN THE FUTURE. *TR
