NHTSA Complaint #11115267 — 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 MODEL HONDA ODESSEY, ON JUNE 5TH 2018 WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS, VEHICLE SHUT OFF, DASH WENT OFF. TRIED TO APPLY BRAKE, IT DIDN'T WORK. SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PUT THE PARK GEAR TO PULL OVER TO A LEFT TURN LINE TO AVOID COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. 911 WAS ALERTED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS BLOCKING THE LEFT TURN LINE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO EVEN OPEN THE DOOR TO COME OUT OF THE VAN. AFTER FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO TURN IT ON AND THERE WAS NO ENGINE SIGN. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED. I CONTINUED DRIVING THE VAN HOME. AFTER TWO WEEKS THE ENGINE SIGN CAME UP AND WE TOOK IT TO THE HONDA AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHICH CAUSES THIS ENGINE SHUTDOWN ABRUPTLY. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER TWO DAYS THE BATTERY WENT DOWN. SO WE REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE. ON JULY 21, MY COUSIN WAS DRIVING THE VAN AND THE SAME HAPPENED AGAIN. HE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND AFTER FEW ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AGAIN AND HE RODE BACK AND PARKED AT HIS HOUSE. ON JULY 24TH, WE TRIED TO TURN IT ON BUT THE BATTERY WAS DOWN. WE JUMP STARTED IT ON 27TH AND TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP. THEY KEPT IT DOING SEVERAL TESTS UNTIL JULY 31ST AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY OK'D US TO TAKE THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE . WE ARE VERY MUCH CONCERNED TO RIDE IT AGAIN FEAR OF SAFETY TO OUR OWN LIFE AND THE OTHER INNOCENT FELLOWS ON THE ROAD. WE REPORTED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SUGGESTED TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WHEN WE DRIVE THE VAN. WE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND FEW OTHERS HAS REPORTED THE SAME KIND OF INCIDENTS FOR THE SAME MODEL BUT DIFFERENT YEAR. I AM REQUESTING NHTSA INVESTIGATE ON THIS ISSUE AND GIVE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS
