ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE OWN AN ODYSSEY AND CRV. BOTH OF THEM HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAT SHIELD RUSTING AND MAKING NOISES WHEN ACCELERATING. THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE IT IS TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. IN RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH ALL DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. HAS THIS BEEN INVESTIGATED? THE OTHER OPTION IS TO REMOVE THIS HEAT SHIELD BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF YOU PARK ON GRASS OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE OTHER CAR PARTS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE CONVERTER.. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATING TO APROX. 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND VIBRATE VIOLENTLY ACCOMPANIED BY THE ILLUMINATION OF THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. WE SHORTLY AFTERWARD NOTICED A REDUCTION IN POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, WHO STATED THAT, THERE WERE SEVERAL MISFIRE CODES GENERATED WHEN DIAGNOSED. THE REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE CYLINDER 5 COIL HAVING MELTED INTO THE CYLINDER. AS A RESULT, THE SHOP HAD TO REMOVE THE CYLINDER HEAD IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE COIL AND SPARK PLUG FROM THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE SPARK PLUG BECOMING LOOSE AND FUEL LEAKING INTO THE CYLINDER HEAD CHAMBER. THE REPAIR SHOP STATED THAT THIS WAS THE THIRD OF THESE FAILURES SEEN BY THEM. THE DEALER OF PURCHASE AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE ALERTED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO RESOLUTION. THE DEALER (KEELER HONDA, LATHAM NY) WAS IN FACT QUITE RUDE ABOUT THE FAILURE IN GENERAL. WE WERE CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED WITH THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH THE TOTAL BILL OF $2411.00. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,108. *TR

STEERING
STEERING BECOMES TIGHT AND VERY HARD AT LOW SPEEDS AND MY WIFE STARTED COMPLAINING OF SORE ARMS. I TRIED AND FOUND IT TO BE QUITE HARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE FLUSHED POWER STEERING FLUID AND CHARGED ME FOR IT THOUGH THERE IS A TSB ON HOW TO FIX IT. TOOK IT TO THE TIRE SHOP AND THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE IT TO THE ALIGNMENT SHOP. THEN I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND TSB A11-039 AND SEVERAL OTHER LETTERS FROM HONDA TO CUSTOMERS. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT DID NOT INFORM THE OWNERS!! I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY COMMUNICATION REGARDING THIS AND MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW ANY OPEN RECALLS IN HONDA WEBSITE. STEERING IS QUITE CRITICAL TO THE VEHICLE AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL INSTEAD OF PLAYING WITH LIVES OF CUSTOMERS. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY WIFE TWO CHILDREN AND 4 GUESTS WERE MOVING FROM A STOP THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER DISREGARDED A RED LIGHT AND HIT OUR CAR TOWARD THE REAR OF THE SLIDING DOOR AND FRONT OF REAR WHEEL. THE OTHER CAR'S SPEED WAS UNKNOWN BUT THEY DID NOT APPEAR TO STOP PRIOR TO IMPACT. ALL DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS ALONG THE SIDE OF THE CAR DEPLOYED. MY WIFE AND ONE DAUGHTER SUSTAINED INJURIES WHICH REQUIRED HOSPITAL EXAMINATION. ALL PASSENGERS HAD SEAT BELT BURNS. MY WIFE WAS STRUCK WITH SOMETHING ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD PRESUMABLY FROM DEBRIS FROM THE AIRBAGS OR TRIM WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THIS LEFT A SMALL ROUND HOLE ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD. SHE HAD BLOOD LOSS WHICH WAS TREATED BY WITNESSING NURSES AND DISPATCHED EMT. SHE WAS TREATED AND RELEASED FROM THE LOCAL HOSPITAL AND HAS BEEN RECUPERATING AT HOME. WE ARE EVALUATING FURTHER TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR OTHER MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES. MOST SEAT BELT BURNS WERE MINOR ALTHOUGH THE GUEST PASSENGER IN THE 2ND ROW MIDDLE SEAT (REMOVABLE SEAT) HAD MORE SIGNIFICANT BURNS DUE TO ANGLE OF SEAT BELT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING TO A SUPERMARKET, I PULLED INTO PARKING LOT AND THEN I SAW A LOT OF SMOKE COMING UNDER THE HOOD, I HAD MY THREE CHILDREN INSIDE THE CAR AND IN MINUTES MY CAR WAS TOTALED COMPLETELY BURNED. HONDA SHOULD PAY MY VAN, NONE NOTICED ANY PROBLEM BEFORE. SIDE DOORS WON'T OPEN AT THE MOMENT OF THE FIRE, VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN FOR AN EMERGENCY LIKE THIS, IMAGINE I MOTHER WITH CHILD ON A CAR SEAT AND NOT HAVING ACCESS TO THE REAR SEATS, WHEN THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION TAKES MINUTES TO BURN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2007 HONDA ODYSSEY DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY OR ELECT. TRIED INSIDE AND OUTSIDE HAVE CHECKED THE GAS ENTRY FLAP AND SWITCHES NO PROBLEMS THERE. MY PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MY WIFE TRANSPORTS OUR GRAND CHILDREN, THE CHILD'S CAR SEAT HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN THERE WOULD BE NO ESCAPE FOR THEM. I NEED AN ANSWER. I SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE THE DEALERS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS THEY RE-SURFACE A SHORT TIME LATER. THIS HAS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW, THE MECHANICAL SHOULD ALWAYS BE ABLE TO OVERRIDE THE SYSTEM FOR SAFETY. I WOULD LIKE TO HERE FROM SOMEONE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A DEATH TRAP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL IN JULY 2014. I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE DAILY ARE MUCH. A MONTH OR TWO LATER I FILLED THE TANK UP AND NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE DIDN'T GO TO "F", SO I FIGURED MAYBE IT'S NOT FULL, THAT HAPPEN TWO MORE TIMES AND STILL HAPPENING CURRENTLY AND I WAS NOT HAVING THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY $120.00 JUST FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSIS A PROBLEM I WASN'T HAVING PRIOR TO THE RECALL. I REALIZE IT'S MONTHS LATER BUT I DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE DAILY OR WEEKLY TO HAVE TO FILL THE TANK UP AS OFTEN. *JS

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY ACCESS RAMP WHEN SUDDENLY HEARD AN EXPLOSION/GUN TYPE SOUND FROM THE TOP OF THE MINI-VAN (HONDA ODYSSEY 2007). I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND FOUND THAT THE SUN ROOF GLASS HAD SHATTERED TO PIECES. I WAS NOT UNDER AN OVERPASS AND ONLY ONE LOW PROFILE CAR WAS SLIGHTLY BEHIND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY ANOTHER CAR. GLASS IS LIFTED UPWARDS ON THE EDGES. TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 50 DEG F. *TR

ENGINE
THE FRONT AND RIGHT SIDE ENGINE MOUNTS FOR THIS VEHICLE WERE BROKEN AROUND 78,000 MILES. THE ENGINE MOUNTS SHOULD NOT BROKEN WITHIN THIS SHORT MILEAGES AND YEARS. THERE SEEMS LOTS OF OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ENGINE MOUNTS ISSUE. THE ENGINE MOUNT REPLACEMENT IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND THIS IS ALSO A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THE ENGINE MOUNT, ESPECIALLY THE FRONT ENGINE MOUNT DESIGN SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A BETTER ENGINE MOUNT. *TR
