STEERING
PURCHASED MY VAN USED IN 2012. IT HAD A STEERING ISSUE BUT I WAS NEW TO THE FEEL OF HONDA HANDLING AND THOUGHT IT WAS OK AND NORMAL. I HAVE HAD INCREASING ISSUES WITH MY CAPABILITY TO STEER. THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND RESERVOIR BUT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY VAN DID NOT HAVE IT SERVICED. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID IT IS PASSED WARRANTY AND CANNOT ABSORB THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I SAY, THAT SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, IT SHOULD BE FIXED NOW BECAUSE HONDA NEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHILE THE TIME FRAME STILL OBLIGATED THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY STEERING MY VAN, TURNING THE VAN, WITH CHILDREN IN IT, AND SO THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ADDRESSED AND FIXED WHEN HONDA SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT.

DRIVERS SIDE HEATED SEATED NO LONGER WORKS. IT IS LIKELY A CONTINUITY ISSUE WITH HEATING ELEMENT IN SEAT BACK WIRE BREAKING. ONLINE FORUMS SUGGEST A WIDESPREAD ISSUE YET HONDA FAILS TO RECALL. DEALERS WANT $500-700 TO REPAIR.

SEAT BELTS
MY SON WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN SECOND ROW BEHIND DRIVER'S SEAT WHEN HE GRABBED THE SEATBELT OF THE MIDDLE SEAT THAT ATTACHES TO THE ROOF AND WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK. HE STARTED COUGHING WHEN WE NOTICED THAT HE HAD WRAPPED THE SEATBELT AROUND HIS NECK WE STOOPED THE CAR AND I WENT BACK TO TAKE HIM OUT BUT THE SEATBELT WAS LOCKED AND THERE IS NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE SEATBELT SO WE HAD TO CUT THE SEATBELT IN ORDER TO TAKE HIM OUT OF IT. I TRIED TO COMPLAIN AT HONDA BUT THEY SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE AS ITS THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. BUT TO ME ITS REALLY VERY DANGEROUS WE WERE LUCKY WE SAW HIM BUT A CHILD CAN EASILY DIE BECAUSE ITS SO EASY FOR ANY CHILD TO GRAB THAT SEATBELT.I HAVE ATTACHED THE PIC WHERE IT SHOWS HOW THAT SEATBELT WORKS FIRST IT LOCKS INTO 1 AND THEN INTO THE 2 LATCH. THE 1 LATCH CANNOT BE UNLOCKED.

SEATS
THE SEAT RECLINE LATCHING MECHANISM ON ONE OF THE SECOND ROW SEATS HAS FAILED AND ALLOWS THE SECOND ROW TO COLLAPSE BACK INTO THE THIRD ROW SEAT. THE LATCH WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL. THIS PUTS THE PERSON SITTING IN THE 3RD ROW AT HIGH RISK OF INJURY IF THIS OCCURS IN A REAR END COLLISION. FORTUNATELY,THIS WAS DISCOVERED WITHOUT INJURY.

AIR BAGS
I HEARD ON THE NEWS TODAY AND ALSO FOUND OUT THAT I'M ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REPAIR AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, OR THAT A TECHNICIAN COULD COME TO ME. I ALSO HAVE RECEIVED TWO CARDS IN THE MAIL, AND I OWN TWO OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VANS, ONE THAT SHOWS UP ON THE RECALL AND ONE THAT DOESN'T. AS PER CBS NEWS " U.S. SAFETY REGULATORS ARE DEMANDING THAT AUTOMAKERS AND TAKATA CORP. EXPAND NATIONWIDE A RECALL OF VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAGS EQUIPPED WITH INFLATORS THAT CAN ERUPT AND SEND METAL FRAGMENTS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. "

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE WHILE WITHIN THE VEHICLE, BUT THE DOOR STILL FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR TO EXIT AND ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE LOCK WOULD TURN WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED INTO THE DOOR, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PEARSON HONDA, 14001 HULL STREET RD, MIDLOTHIAN, VA, 23112), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REMOVE THE PANEL AND ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO POSSIBLY DAMAGE THE PANEL, BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CONTACT. THE CONTACT DID NOT AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY DISPLAYS A WARNING THAT ANTI-THEFT CANNOT COMMUNICATE AND INSTRUCTS DRIVER TO PRESS AND HOLD POWER. AFTER SEVERAL FAILED ATTEMPTS AT RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, WE DISCOVERED THAT IT MEANT THE RADIO POWER, NOT THE PUSH START FOR THE CAR. IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THIS MEANS THE RADIO ANTITHEFT OR THE VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND IN A PARKING SPOT. IT HAPPENED ON START UP (AND REMAINED THERE DURING ALL 4 RESTARTS). IT WENT AWAY AFTER PRESS AND HOLDING THE RADIO POWER BUTTON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN THE FOB IS STORED NEAR THE VEHICLE IT CREATES A POWER DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. WE WERE CAMPING FOR THE WEEKEND AND THE FOB WAS GENERALLY NEAR THE VEHICLE (IN THE CAMPER). WHEN WE LEFT THE CAMPGROUND AT THE END OF THE WEEKEND, THE WARNING INDICATOR SAID NOT TO USE ANY AUXILIARY POWER. I AM NOT SURE HOW THE VEHICLE USES THE BATTERY VS THE ENGINE OR ALTERNATOR TO POWER THE INTERIOR OUTLETS, USB CHARGING PORTS, AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THE DVD/RES SYSTEM, BUT THE PREVIOUS POWER OUTAGE IN THE VEHICLE HAS US ON HIGH ALERT AND WE FEEL IT IS RELEVANT AS IT INDICATES A PATTERN OF POWER FAILURE AND INSUFFICIENT BATTERY OR POWER SUPPLY TO THE VEHICLE RELATIVE TO THE VOLTAGE IT PULLS WITH THE "BELLS AND WHISTLES" ON THE CAR. THE WARNING REMAINED FOR THE ENTIRE 3 HOUR DRIVE HOME.
