AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
1) I HAVE OCCASIONAL "CHECK AIRBAGS" MESSAGE POPPING UP ON THE DASHBOARD, WHICH DISAPPEAR AFTER TURNING OFF/BACK ON. IT MAY HAPPEN WHILE I AM RIDING OR WHEN SETTING THE GEAR TO PARK AND UNPLUGGING THE SEATBELT. CONSUMER REPORTS SHOWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DECLARED ON AIRBAGS BACK ON AUGUST 1, 2005 SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MAY, 2005. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON AIRBAGS. I WOULD STILL DRIVE THIS CAR AND BY THAT REASON DECIDED CONTACT NHTDS. 2) RUST ON THE BODY OF THE CAR ABOVE THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL IS GETTING DEEPER. I HAVE SEEN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT RUSTED ON OTHER ODYSSEYS MADE IN 2005 OR LATER, WHEN DRIVING.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH MOTER RUNNING SAT THERE WHILE FINISHING SOMETHING, HAVING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WENT TO PUT MY VAN IN PARK AFTER WHICH TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND MY VAN LUNGES FORWARD. I STOMPED ON MY BRAKES BARELY IN TIME TO NOT GO THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. #2 I WAS PARKED MUCH LIKE #1 IN FRONT OF MY GYM FOOT ON THE BRAKE WENT TO PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND IT LUNGES FORWARD, I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE IN TIME TO NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP THE CRUB. STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. #3 WAS A WEEK AGO. I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE ALMOST A U-TURN AND MY VAN EXCELLERATED SO FAST I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR A CONCRETE PILLAR, WAS ABLE TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES COMING WAY TO CLOSE TO HITTING THE PILLAR. I TOOK THE ODYSSEY INTO HONDA THEY RAN THEIR TESTS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY JUST THOUGHT I MUST HAVE SLIPPED OF THE BRAKE. WELL THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN EITHER OF THE 3 TIMES. VERY SCARY AND DRIVE VERY CAUTIOUS NOW. STOP A CAR LENGTH FROM OTHER CARS FROM CROSSWALKS PARK WITH MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND EXCELLERATE SLOWLY! PRAYING IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, MY 93 YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ON #3 AND SCARED HER TO DEATH!

SEATS
AFTER THE THIRD ROW HAS BEEN FOLDED FLAT AND YOU ARE BRINGING IT BACK OUT TO MAKE IT A SEAT AGAIN, IT OFTEN WILL NOT LATCH WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF A SECOND PERSON TO HELP GUIDE THE SEAT INTO THE PROPER PLACE. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WITH THE 2 SEAT SECTION AND NOT THE SINGLE SEAT SECTION (SINCE THEY FOLD 60/40). IF YOU DON'T REALIZE THE SEAT DID NOT LATCH, THEN IT CAN EASILY ROLL BACK AND TRY TO FOLD FLAT WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR SHOULD SOMEONE TRY TO CLIMB OVER IT. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT WHEN I SAW THAT A CHILD DIED BECAUSE OF IT, I WANTED TO REPORT IT.

SEAT BELTS
I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY CHILDREN'S AND MY SEATBELTS WERE DEFECTIVE. MY CHILDREN'S CARSEATS WERE NOT SECURE AND UPON IMPACT JILTED FORWARD. MY SON AND DAUGHTERS HEADS HIT THE HANDLE ON THE SEAT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THEM. HONDA SENT OUT THEIR TEAM OF TECHNICAL SPECIALIST WHO INSPECTED THE VAN AND SAID THE SEAT BELTS DIDN'T WORK BECAUSE NO-ONE USED SEATBLELTS. HOWEVER THE POLICE AND FIRST RESPONDER ARE THE ONES WHO UNBUCKELED MY CHILDRENS SEATS AND IT IS IN THE REPORTS EVERYONE WAS RESTRAINED. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE NO RECALL OR WARNING HAS BEEN SENT OUT TO OTHERS.

AT FIRST THE RIGHT REAR DOOR POWER STOPPED WORKING AND THE SAME DAY THE DOOR CAME OPEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THAT IS NOT GOOD WITH CHILDREN UNDER 8 YEARS OF AGE!!!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SLIDING DOORS ARE UNSAFE. THEY DO NOT STAY LOCKED AND ARE HARD TO CLOSE. I HAVE SEEN WERE SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SLIDING DOORS. I HAVE SLAMMED THE DOORS AND THE DOORS STILL SHOW AS OPENED AND HAVE SLID OPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED. THE AUTO FUNCTION OF THE DOORS ALSO DOESN'T WORK WELL.

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.

WHILE STATIONARY, LIGHT APPEARS ON DASHBOARD INDICATING PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE USING ANY METHOD. MESSAGE STAYS ON DASHBOARD PREVENTING ME FROM SEEING OTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGES UNTIL A RESET IS DONE, I RESET BY REMOVING A FUSE, TURNING THE KEY TWICE WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR ON AND PUTTING THE FUSE BACK IN. THAT'S A TEMPORARY FIX BECAUSE THE PROBLEM RETURNS AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR A COUPLE OF TIMES. MANY HONDA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO HONDA AND INDICATED ONLINE THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH INVOLVED COSTLY REPAIRS THAT SOMETIMES DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AND HAS HAPPENED TO ENOUGH OWNERS OF HONDA MINIVANS THAT A RECALL IS NECESSARY.

THE SLIDING DOORS ON BOTH SIDE OF MY ODESSEY VAN COULD NOT BE OPENED. THEY ALWAYS STUCK AND HARD TO OPEN. MY ODESSEY VAN'S LEFT SLIDING DOOR COULD NOT OPEN FOR YEARS. AND MY RIGHT SLIDING DOOR ALSO COULD NOT BE OPENED. ON 8/29/17, MY SON TRIED TO OPEN THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR THROUGH THE OUTSIDE AND IT FELL OFF/FELL DOWN AND INJURED MY SON ON HIS FEET THAT ENDED UP IN THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO ASK YOUR AGENCY TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE ON THIS MATTER AND FURTHER PROTECT OTHER CONSUMER FROM INJURY. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS PARKED ON THE PARKING LOT. IF THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD OR ON MOTION THEN IT WOULD BE MORE DANGEROUS AND CAUSE CAR ACCIDENT.
