| Our 2010 honday odyssey has rolled backward while the transmission was in park twice. the first time we thought it was a fluke as it rolled 'only' about 18 inches. the second time the van was again in park, and the keys were out of the ignition, a few hours later a neighbor came to inform us that the van had rolled into the street/alley which is approximately 7 feet from the original parking spot. the van is parked in an almost flat location, the incline of the driveway is standard rain run-off grade so less than 2% approximately. *tr | |||

| At 7000 miles, the transmission made a very loud grinding and rattling noise, shaking the vehicle, when shifting from r to d. this was repeated at 25,000 miles several months after the software upgrade. in july of 2010, vehicle was brought in for memory steering, they replaced the right strut. november of 2010, the vehicle steering is unstable at low speeds when turning left. the sensation is either over-activity of the power steering pump or under-activity. vehicle seems very unstable under low speed driving conditions, especially on bumpy roads. vehicle taken to dealer, they could not identify anything abnormal. | |||

| In cold weather, with 1100 mi. on vehicle, drove 10 miles and came to a stop. vehicle revved at 1500 rpms while in drive with foot on brake, put in to neutral and it revved to 5000-6000 rpms with foot on brake. turned off and on, vehicle continued to rev at 5000-6000 rpms with foot on brake. turned off and on again, vehicle back to normal. problem has not happened again. brought to dealer, dealer did basic testing, could not find any problems. check engine light did not come on, but dealer checked for stored codes, nothing found. dealer could not replicate the problem, said vehicle is safe to drive. dealer suggested foot was on gas pedal, or floor mat was on gas pedal. however, foot was on brake, and floor mat was secured to floor. we experienced the same issue multiple times with a 2001 odyssey, thought problem would have been fixed with this new model. dealer couldn't replicate the issue with the 2001 odyssey either. the consequence is a safety issue, as vehicle could hit something in front of it if brake is not applied firmly when trying to come to a stop. | |||

| 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 | |||
