| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 honda odyssey ex minivan. when at a stop, facing uphill in drive, the vehicle will roll backwards as soon as you take your foot off the brake. it rolls as if it were a vehicle with a manual transmission, or as if you were in neutral. parked facing downhill, than starting in reverse (backing up the hill) the same problem presents itself, but it is even worse. this has led to several near accidents as we have adjusted to this unusual situation, as all automatic transmission automobiles we have owned in the past doi not behave in this manner. they "hold" on hills, at least momentarily, when the brake is released and the automobile is in drive. i wonder how many accidents this defect has caused while the drivers discioverd this flaw and adjusted their driving habits (it's a lot like driving a manual transmission). i contacted my local honda dealer, and they said this is "normal" with these vans and accord automobiles. |
