AIR BAGS
BEGINNING AROUND NOV. 23, 2012, AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STAYED ON AFTER ITS INITIAL TEST (BLINK ON AND THEN OFF) ONCE IGNITION TURNED ON AND ENGINE RUNNING. OVER NEXT APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS, LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AFTER TEST AND THEN STAY ON WHILE ENGINE RUNNING. SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE MORE WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS WARM RATHER THAN COLD. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE PAST APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH (SINCE MAY 2013), LIGHT HAS BEEN STAYING ON CONSTANTLY AFTER INITIAL TEST AND IGNITION TURNED ON. VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATING NORMALLY OTHERWISE. I'VE CHECKED ALL SEATBELT CONNECTIONS AND FUSES AND NOTHING ABNORMAL FOUND. NO OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, NOR HAVE THERE BEEN ANY ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, SO PROBLEM IS ISOLATED TO AIRBAG SYSTEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TOOK OUR 2004 ODYSSEY MINI VAN TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHILE THERE, THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THREE OF THE FOUR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN, RESULTING IN A $858.78 REPAIR. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON IN VEHICLES WITH 100,000. WE'VE HAD CARS MUCH OLDER THAN THIS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM! IF IT'S "NOT UNCOMMON" IN HONDA ODYSSEYS, I THINK IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. PERHAPS ANOTHER RECALL FROM HONDA IS DUE. *TR

WE USED HONDA ODYSSEY [2004] DAILY FOR COMMUTING (NEVER TOWED ANYTHING AND DON'T HAUL ANYTHING). THE CAR WOULD START MOVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN WOULD STOP MOVING FORWARD. THE CAR WAS SUDDENLY STUCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER CROSSING THE INTERSECTION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR IN ANY DIRECTION AND STUCK ON THE ROAD. ON DUTY POLICE OFFICER INFORMED THAT I NEED TO MOVE THE CAR AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HE WANTED TO CALL THE TOWING TRUCK, BUT AT THAT TIME I TRIED SHIFTING FROM TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD FOR FEW HUNDRED FEET AND AGAIN SAME THING NO FORWARD MOTION. AT THAT TIME I WAS ON DOWN THE HILL AND SO ABLE TO PULL THE CAR NEAR ONE BUSINESS PARK. LATER, I TOWED THE CAR TO NEAR BY SHOP AND FOUND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN I FOUND RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, HONDA MOTOR COMPANY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. HONDA DEALER IS CHARGING $5,600 TO FIX THIS. 8TR

2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON JULY 27, 2012, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY HAD IT CHECKED IT OUT, WHERE THEY DISCOVERED A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS, THE 2004 MODEL WAS KNOWN TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION FAN THAT DID NOT COOL DOWN THE TRANSMISSION EFFECTIVELY. THE FAILURE WAS DUE LARGELY TO THE TRANSMISSION FAN BEING TOO SMALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION TWICE, THE A/C SYSTEM 3 TIMES AND STARTER. NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS AND WINDOWS AND RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT SEIZED ONE AFTERNOON. ALL SERVICE INTERVALS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED AS WITH MY OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD TIRES AND FLUID CHANGES WITH NO OTHER FIXES. THE PAINT CONTINUES TO FLAKE OFF EVEN AFTER HONDA OF CONCORD, NC REPAINTED HALF OF THE VEHICLE. 2 YEARS AGO. VEHICLE HAS LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED ON DOZENS OF OCCASIONS ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE'S 9TH BATTERY SINCE 2004. SELLING THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AN OPTION BUT REPLACING IT IS. IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT EVER AND I CAUTION ANYONE WHO IS EVER IN THE MARKET FOR ONE OF THESE VANS TO AVOID THEM AT ALL COST. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE TO WORK WITH AND WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE REPAIRS I LISTED ABOVE. THEY ARE JUNK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON I-630 IN LITTLE ROCK, IN MODERATE TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS FORCED TO COAST THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. AS SOON AS I LOST POWER, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHED. IF THE TRAFFIC HAD BEEN HEAVIER, THE OUTCOME MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN AS FAVORABLE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A NOISE, AS OF 3/21/13. I HAD TAKEN IT TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND IT IS RING AND PINION AND IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE SO WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT ON THE INTERNET CAME ACROSS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL BACK IN 2004 I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND NOW IT IS COSTING ME SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS I EXPECT HONDA TO PAY FOR THIS NOT ME. I LOVE MY VAN AND BOUGHT IT BECAUSE OF ITS DEPENDABILITY AND RELIABILITY AND NOW I AM HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN. I EXPECT SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME ASAP AND HONDA TO COVER THE COST. *TR

ENGINE
I TOOK MY CAR IN ON A RECALL FOR SHIFT INTERLOCK, WAS TOLD ALL MY ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ME 1000.00. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, THE MILEAGE ON MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY IS 101434. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS COST. HONDA IS KNOWN FOR THERE RELIABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY, SHOULD STAND BEHIND THERE VEHICLES. I HAD TO CALL AROUND TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD COST AND IS BEING FIXED. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THIS BUT I AM FORCED TO. I PURCHASED THE VAN BECAUSE OF THE RELIABILITY OF THERE VEHICLES AND NOW THIS. SO WHAT IS HONDA GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? ANOTHER COMPLAINT # IS 10425453. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME 700.00 AND I WANT A SETTLEMENT AMOUNT TO COVER THIS COST. I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE ON THIS MATTER AND SOONER THE BETTER. *TR

TOOK OUR HONDA ODYSSEY VAN IN FOR SERVICE WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. WAS TOLD THAT WE HAD BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. DEALER SERVICE CENTER SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND WAS A REAL RISK TO OUR SAFETY IF WE DIDN'T GET IT FIXED. IF IT IS SUCH A RISK, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL? FROM LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, THERE ARE SO MANY IS IT TO NUMEROUS TO COUNT THEM ALL. *TR

THIS IS IN ADDITION TO MY EARLIER COMPLAIN---NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10499643-- INDICATION OF ENGINE TROUBLE DID NOT GIVE ANY ADVANCE INFORMATION.INDICATION MUST BE AN ALARM FOR THE DRIVER SO THAT HE WILL TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS.IN MY CASE THERE WAS NO TIME AVAILABLE.IT WORKED AS FAILURE INDICATION ONLY. ALL VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS BE INFORMED THAT ALARM (TROUBLE)INDICATION SHOULD BE A PRE-FAILURE ALARM AND SHOULD GIVE SOME TIME TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. HOPE YOU WILL TAKE UP THE ISSUE WITH MANUFACTURERS. *TR
