What owners wrote
The dash indicated "low battery" on a new minivan 6 weeks old. The battery could have gone dead at any time. A letter from honda to dealers indicated they had many tech line contacts regarding this problem. This letter told the service department that the customer should drive for an extended period of time and it may charge the battery. Charging the battery by the dealer was not a warranty issue. Honda of america called after I wrote and indicated that they had no intention to deal with this safety problem.
I own a 2011 honda odyssey which has less than 700 miles on it. I have now had the battery low message three times when no doors were left open or electrical usage off battery. I have called the issue into my dealership and they're aware of the situation but honda has no answers for a fix. This is an unacceptable response fro honda if nothing is wrong with the battery. Honda needs to address this or they will lose my business.
