FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND A FAINT ONE INSIDE. TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALERS AND THE SAID IT HAD A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. HONDA COVERED 1/2 OF THE SERVICE CHARGE BUT NOT THE ENTIRE COST SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HONDA PAID HALF IN "GOODWILL". *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GASOLINE SMELL STARTED TO COME FROM ALL AROUND THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID FUEL PUMP HOUSING HAS A CRACK WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. DEALER SAID THERE WERE NO RECALL ON THIS BUT THE ISSUE SEEM TO BE HAPPENING TO FEW OTHERS ALSO. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER SINCE IT MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE. *TR

THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY- LOOKING ON LINE I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2005 FOR A MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAG SENSORS IN THE 2005 ODYSSEY - BUT OURS DID NOT GET THE RECALL NOTICE - IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER 2005 ODYSSEY OWNERS THAT ALSO CURRENTLY HAVING THIS ISSUE- THE 2005 RECALL ON THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE COMPREHENSIVE SO WE WOULD NOT BE GETTING MALFUNCTION WARNING. *TR

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE TOOK OUR VAN IN FOR SERVICING AND COMPLAINED TO THE HONDA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VEHICLE VIBRATIONS THAT BECAME WORSE DURING REGULAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT (VCM) SYSTEM SHIFTED FROM 6 TO 4 CYLINDERS AND BACK AGAIN. WE ALSO STARTED EXPERIENCING A DISTINCT "CLUNK" SOUND DURING OUR VACATION TRIP IN LATE JUNE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THREE MOTOR MOUNTS ("FRONT, REAR AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS") HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACING. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, AS WELL AS AN OIL/FILTER CHANGE, AND VEHICLE MULTI-POINT INSPECTION. THE SUBTOTAL COST FOR JUST THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR WAS $987.13. WE DISCOVERED SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE REAR MOTOR, HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY OTHER 2005, 2006, & 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL & TOURING MODEL OWNERS. WE ARE NOW SEEKING "GOODWILL CONSIDERATION" FOR ALL, OR MOST OF THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT COST, SINCE LEARNING THAT THE ODYSSEY HASN'T BEEN RECALLED FOR CHECKS SINCE THE 1 DECEMBER 2006 SERVICE BULLETIN 06-083. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR NEVER WORKED WELL. THEY SCREECHED AND SQUEALED AND WERE SLOW TO RESPOND. DESPITE MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND MECHANICS, THEY INSISTED NOTHING WAS WRONG. I REAR ENDED SOMEONE COMING DOWN A HILL BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE. THE DIFFERENCE IN SPEED MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 35 MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I HIT THE SEATBELT WAY TOO HARD. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DID HAVE HIS AIRBAGS GO OFF. *TR

ENGINE
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD HONDA CARS AND HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE RELIABLE UNTIL NOW. AFTER READING ALL OF THE RECALLS ON MY PERSONAL VEHICLE, I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT 90% OF THE RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS HAVE HAPPENED WITH MY CAR AS WELL. MOST FRUSTRATING IS THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS. BRAKES, TIRES, AND VIBRATION WHEN REACHING 60 MILES PER HOUR HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE. AFTER SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY ON THESE ISSUES OVER THE YEARS, IT SEEMS THAT TWO BROKEN ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS AS WELL AS ONE MORE CRACKED ONE COULD BE THE REASON. MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM SAFE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE COMPLAINTS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE MORE I TALK WITH OTHERS, THE MORE I REALIZE HOW BIG OF A PROBLEM THIS IS. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE DECIDES TO TAKE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. IT IS A SHAME THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER CAN NOT OWN UP TO SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR FAULT LIKE INADEQUATE ENGINE MOUNTS. WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CAR, SINCE MINE NOW NEEDS BRAKES AND ROTORS AGAIN, TIRES AGAIN, AND PRICEY ENGINE MOUNTS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD. FROM A SAD AND DISAPPOINTED PREVIOUS HONDA CONSUMER. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK MY MINIVAN TO THE HONDA ANNAPOLIS DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY AIRBAGS. THEY DID FIND, HOWEVER, THAT THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SO THEY DID SO FREE OF CHARGE. THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO TELL ME WHY THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND TOLD ME TO BE GRATEFUL, AS IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH AIRBAGS, IT WOULD HAVE COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE WAS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 75 MPH AND SUDDENLY SAW A FLUME OF SMOKE BEHIND MY CAR. I NOTICE THE RPM JUMPED AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE IMMEDIATELY. IT SMELLED LIKE SOME LIQUID WAS BURNING. PULL THE CAR OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND LOOK TO FIND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD LEAKED AND SPRAYED ALL OVER THE ENGINE, HOSES, BATTERY, RADIATOR, ETC - CAUSING THE SMELL. TOWED IT BACK TO MY HOUSE. WHEN THE CAR GOT TO THE HOUSE, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SHOWED US THAT THE ATF HAD LEAKED PROBABLY COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE FOR HONDA TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION AND FIX MY CAR. IT'S NOT ONLY A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, IT ALSO A HAZARDOUS - WHAT IF IT HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE - WHEN THE FLUID SPRAYED OUT. *TR

AIR BAGS
THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE AIRBAGS. THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I NOTICED A RECALL ON OTHER 2005 ODYSSEYS AND WANTED TO SEE IF OTHER 2005 ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I TAKE SERIOUSLY AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR
