Navigation system malfunction. On approximately 8/16 or 8/17/2017, the clock displayed on the navigation screen became stuck at "0:00". I'm not sure whether this affects the actual navigation function, gps system, or other electrical (or non-electrical) components. I believe the dvd-based navigation system hardware and software was manufactured by alpine for honda (and many other auto manufacturers). I have updated…

For a few months now i have noticed that when i make left turns, whether from a stopped position or a speed of 0-5mph, the van jerks and slows to a almost stop. I am afraid that it will shut down and cause a very serious accident one day. I have called honda a few times to inquire about it and nothing is being done.

When we are going uphill from full stopped it seems the transmission is not picking up and it sounds like slippage of the gear. Then the yellow check engine indicator lights up and when we got home i grabbed my code reader and says p0730 incorrect gear ratio and p0505 idle. There is no crash but almost because the car behind us are really fast going uphill and because im not pressing the brake so most likely he…

For the rest of the trip, we had to keep pressing the button to shut the door every time it came open. We also had to move the kids around so that no one was sitting in the seat closest to the door. This same thing happened with the driver-side sliding…

While driving the vehicle normally, we noticed all of the dashboard "idiot lights" coming on intermittently when we would make a turn or decelerate. Finally they came on and stayed on and the air conditioning stopped working. We took the van to our trusted mechanic and he found a broken alternator bracket. He welded it and sent us on our way. Two weeks later, the same problem happened. He then installed a new…

Had to try to get off the road, while at…
