LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
MY SIX-YEAR-OLD SON WAS REACHING FOR HIS SEAT BELT AT THE SAME TIME THE DOOR WAS BEING CLOSED BY THE DRIVER. THE CAR WAS PARKED. MY SON'S FINGERS WERE CAUGHT IN THE BACK OF THE SLIDING DOOR. EVEN MORE UPSETTING WAS THAT ONCE THE DOOR WAS CLOSE, IT COULD NOT BE OPENED AGAIN FOR 30-45 SECONDS, WITH MY SCREAMING SIX-YEAR-OLD'S FINGERS STILL CLOSED INSIDE. THERE IS A SENSOR ON THE DOOR, BUT IT IS ON THE FRONT OF THE DOOR, NOT THE BACK. FURTHER, I THINK THERE SHOULD BE AN EMERGENCY RELEASE OF THE DOOR INSTALLED.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AT 2,666 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, MY HONDA ODYSSEY EXL, PURCHASED ON 2/28/2007, SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. WHILE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS UNCLEAR ON THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY FOUND THE FRONT CAM SHAFT FROZEN IN THE CYLINDER HEAD WITH THE SPECULATION THAT THERE WAS A CASTING HEAD PROBLEM WITH DEBRIS INSIDE THE VALVE ASSEMBLY. ALL FLUIDS WERE AT RECOMMENDED LEVELS. A PARTIAL LIST OF REPAIRS: - FRONT HEAD ASSEMBLY AND GASKET REPLACED - REAR HEAD GASKET REPLACED. - TIMING BELT AND TENSIONER REPLACED. - DRIVE BELT IDLER TENSIONER REPLACED. - COOLANT SYSTEM GASKET REPLACED. - FRONT ENGINE SEALS REPLACED. - OUTER HEAD ASSEMBLY REPLACED. HOW NO INJURY OR ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE MY CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION, IS JUST MY GOOD FORTUNE. MY BAD FORTUNE IS HAVING TO NAVIGATE A RUDE AND UNACCOUNTABLE CORPORATE "SERVICE" DEPARTMENT AND LIVE WITH THE LEGACY OF A MAJOR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *JB

BRAND NEW VEHICLE - MINIVAN PURCHASED FROM GRAINGER HONDA SAVANNAH GA. UPON DELIVERY OF THE "BRAND NEW" VEHICLE WE NOTICED A MISALIGNED REAR BUMPER AND SMUDGED PAINT WORK. WE SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND OUT IT WAS ACTUALLY RE-PAINTED! WE TOLD THE DEALER WE WANTED EITHER A FULL REFUND IF NOT A NEW VEHICLE. THE DEALER OFFERED TO REPAIR THE BUMPER! AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED THE VEHICLE IS NOT NEW AND DAMAGE WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO US, THE BUYER. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT A STONE CAUSED A HOLE IN THE AIR CONDITIONER (A/C) CONDENSER HOSE IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, THEREBY DENYING RESPONSIBILITY AS A WARRANTY ITEM. THE 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD AND THE A/C WAS BLOWING HOT AIR. THE REPAIR COSTS $600. THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HONDA WAS NOT ADDRESSING.*AK

BOUGHT A NEW 2007 HONDA ODESSEY VAN IN EARLY DECEMBER 2006. THE FIRST WARM DAY IN MARCH, I TURN ON THE AC AND IT DOES NOT WORK. WE TAKE THE VAN IN ASSUMING THAT THE AC NEVER WORKED (AS IT WAS NOT USED) AND THEY SAID A ROCK FROM THE ROAD HIT MY CONDENSOR AND IT IS A TOTAL LOSS. NOW I HAVE DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I SEARCH THE INTERNET AND FIND A TON OF THE SAME STORIES. I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM I AM GETTING A SECOND OPINION AND NOW THEY WANT TO SHARE IN THE COST OF REPAIR TO ME. IT SOUNDS LIKE THEY REALIZE THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT ARE NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2 WEEK OLD HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 1200 MILES ON IT AND A DAMAGED AIR CONDITIONER A/C CONDENSER. A ROCK WENT THROUGH THE WIDE OPEN FRONT GRILL AND EASILY PUNCTURED IT. THE REPAIR COST WAS $600. MY DEALER SAYS IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY. I COMPLAINED TO HONDA, BUT HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM YET. MANY ONLINE CAR FORUMS REPORT THAT THISWAS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW IN THE ODYSSEY AND I AGREE. I'M GOING TO SPEND $600 TO REPAIR AND NO TELLING HOW MUCH TO TRY TO PREVENT MORE DAMAGE TO MY BRAND NEW $30,000 VEHICLE. THAT MADE NO SENSE. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA ,AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE THAT CROSSES MY PATH THAT THEY SHOULDN'T EITHER!*AK
