 In the end of august the power windows stopped working in our odyssey. when i dropped the car off at the dealer to fix the windows, the alarm system did not recognize the keys and went off every time the dealer tried to open the door. i brought in my wife's set of keys to see if that would resolve the issue but it did not. the car no longer recognizes either key or key fob and triggers the alarm whenever i unlock and open the doors. additionally, the unlock button on the key fob somehow caused my windows to go down so they are stuck down and no buttons, door locks, windows, power sliding doors, or rear tailgate lift work. honda does not know what the problem is and has been resistant to help fix the ca despite it still being under warranty. *tr

 I have just bought a 2010 honda odyssey on october 16, 2009. on january 16, 2010, i was driving in new york city traffic stopped at a light behind several cars. suddenly the car's engine started to race and lurched forward even with my foot on the brake. for several seconds the car kept lurching forward as i tried to step down on the brake even harder. as suddenly the unintended acceleration stopped. i came within inches of crashing into the car in front of me. i have four passengers in the car who witnessed this event at the time. *tr
