POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AT APPROXIMATELY 6,000 THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO EMIT A LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHILE IN FOURTH GEAR TRAVELING AT 50 MILES PER HOUR AND ABOVE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERESHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NO NOISE. THE NOISE PERSISTED AND BECAME LOUDER. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE SECOND TIME AND POINTED OUT THE NOISE DURING A TEST DRIVE WITH SERVICE PERSONNEL, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION.*AK

TWO SLIDING DOORS OPERATE ERRATICALLY. TWO SLIDING DOORS WILL OPEN WITHOUT CONSUMER USING REMOTE KEY PAD. ALSO, DOORS WILL BEGIN TO CLOSE ON THEIR OWN. IN ADDITION, EXPERIENCES DIFFICULTY WHEN OPENING DOOR BECAUSE OF DOOR JAMMING/LOCKING. *AK BOTH THE SLIDING DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED ON WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM OCCURED AGAIN AND THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE OPEN/CLOSE SWITH AND ADJUST THE LEFT DOOR STRIKER. *YH

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
A THUMPING SOUND EMINATES FROM INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WHEN IT IS FULL TO HALF FULL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED WAS NOTIFIED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MANY OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THIS. HONDA CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AS THIS IS PART OF THE DESIGN. A VEHICLE IN THIS PRICE RANGE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANNOYANCES OF THIS SORT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED FROM A STANDSTILL TO MOVE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, FOR EXAMPLE. ONCE UNDERWAY, THE PROBLEM IS NO LONGER NOTICEABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A NORMAL OCCURANCE IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. HONDA SAYS THERE IS NO NEED FOR CONCERN. I FEEL THIS IS A CONCERN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AFTER MANY MONTHS OF RESEARCH AND FEEL THAT I WAS NOT FULLY INFORMED BY THE LITERATURE THAT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED. NO WHERE WAS IT WRITTEN THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURENCE IN THIS VEHICLE. HAD IT BEEN, I MAY HAVE CONSIDERED A DIFFERENT VEHICLE TO SUIT MY NEEDS. NO SAFETY DEFECT DESCRIBED. *AK

THE EX MODEL HAS AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC DOORS THAT DO NOT STOP CLOSING TO PROTECT SMALL CHILDRENS BODIES, FINGERS, ETC. THE DOOR STOPS WHEN AN ADULTS STRENGTH CAN PUSH IT BACK. HAVEN'T WE LEARNED FROM AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOOR OPENERS. PLEASE WORK HARD TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN OR HANDICAPPED. THIS MINIVAN VEHICLE IS MEANT FOR CHILDREN.*AK

#742519March 15, 2001
STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE POWER SLIDING DOORS ON THIS VAN DO NOT STOP CLOSING VERY EASILY IF AN OBSTRUCTION (IE A PERSON) IS IN THE WAY. THE REMOTE DOOR OPEN/CLOSE IS VERY SENSITIVE AND EASILY TRIGERRED. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE SOMEONE IS IN THE WAY OF THE DOOR AND A SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT. THIS HAPPENED TODAY TO MY WIFE AND WHILE SHE WAS ONLY BRUISED FROM THE INCIDENT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL IF ONE OF OUR SMALL CHILDREN WAS IN THE WAY OF THE DOOR. IF YOU TURN OFF THE POWER CLOSER, THE DOORS ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CLOSE BY HAND. I FEEL THAT, LIKE AUTOMATIC GARAGE DOORS, THESE DOORS SHOULD BE MUCH BETTER AT DETECTING OBSTRUCTIONS AND STOPPING ACCORDINGLY.*AK
