NHTSA Complaint #11281080 — 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY

FAILURE OF HIGH BEAM, RUNNING LIGHTS, DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS, POWER DOOR LOOKS, INTEMITTENT WIPERS. FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION. MECHANIC WORKED ALL DAY COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. I DROVE IT HOME. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER IT WAS WORKING. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO GET A INSPECTION STICKER. ALL GOOD. WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN STOPPED WORKING. I REALILIZED THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS THAT OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. IT FAILED IN THE COLD. I RAN THE HEATER IN THE CAR FOR ABOUT AN HOUR ON MAX HEAT. STILL NO GOOD. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE WALKING BY I PRESSED THE DOOR OPEN BUTTON ON THE KEY RING AND THEY WORKED , I JUMPED IN AND TRIED THE DIRECTIONALS, HIGH BEAM, RUNNING LIGHTS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS. A FEW DAYS LATER THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPPED AND IT STOPPED WORKING. TODAY (MILDER WEATHER) I TRIED IT WASN'T WORKING. I TURNED ON THE HEAT TO HIGH AND THE HEATED SEATS AND LEFT RUNNING FOR AN HOUR. WHEN RETURNING I FOUND THE INTEMITTENT WIPERS WERE RUNNING AND SO WAS EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU WENT OUT IN THE DAY AND IT GOT COLD WHILE PARKED AND ISSUE CAME BACK ,YOU WOULD NOT HAVE RUNNING LIGHTS, HIGH BEAMS, AND NO DIRECTIONAL SIGNALS. I THINK THERE ARE OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ALSO DONT WORK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND THE WEATHER IS NOW COLD. NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. THIS HAPPENS TYPICALLY WHEN IN THE MORNING.
