| The van has, on numerous occasions (approx 1 per 1000 miles) failed to accellerate on command, in fact, it actually seems to stall out for 1 to 5 seconds. the longer it stalls out, the more explosive the accelleration, once it comes. this condition seems to crop up most often just after slacking off on the gas. for example: in traffic, if i and have taken my foot off the gas to maintain space from the car in front of me, then try to accellerate to get into an opening in the adjacent lane, the van just hangs there, as if the ignition has been turned off. then suddenly, the car responds to the accellerator with a jerk. my theory is that it has to do with the fuel conservation system that turns various numbers of cylinders off and on, depending on demand. i have reported this to the dealer who sold this to me and they asked me if i could take it out for a drive and duplicate it for them. i told them it would be okay if they were willing to pay for the gas because i can't make it do it on command. i've just become aware that what i describe is the most common circumstance: steady or slight accelleration followed by slacking off, followed by an attempt at rapid accelleration. the attempt at rapid accelleration results in hesitation and then rapid accelleration, either of which, could create the situation for an accident. | |||

| The low battery light on the instrumental panel warns and flashes every time the driver side door and the rear sliding doors are open of the 2011 odyssey. i brought my vehicle in for service at my honda dealership (sport honda, 3101 automobile blvd., silver spring, md) and both times were told by my service advisor that the van is designed to prevent premature battery failure and that this was normal. this issue didn't start til 2 months after i bought the vehicle. it is now happening more frequent. i spoke to a representative (may 3, 2011) from the honda corporation and told them of this issue. they documented everything and told me that the engineers are aware of the problem and are currently working on a fix for this. | |||
