TIRES, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
COMPLAINT WITH MICHELIN PAX SYSTEM RUN-FLAT TECHNOLOGY: 235-710R 460A 104T. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIRES A 2ND TIME IN ONLY 45K MILES. THEY WEAR TOO FAST. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. I WAS NEVER TOLD BY HONDA I WOULD HAVE THESE ISSUES. I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS BUT TO PURCHASE THE SAME TIRES AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY EITHER HONDA OR MICHELIN. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 HONDA ODYSSEY- ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 86,000 MILES. THERE IS A HARSH JERK WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AND PROBLEM ACCELERATING WITH HIGH RPM. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BEFORE. ON APRIL 7, 2009 AT 87,000 MILES THE DEALER SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FREQUENTLY THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINES REV UP. THIS IS HAZARDOUS POTENTIAL ON THE ROADWAYS. THE HONDA DEALER HAS CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR 50% OF COST WHICH IS $1700. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 77,000 MILES AND SUDDENLY THE CHECK ENGINE, TCS AND THE BLINKING D4 LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER STOPPING IN LIGHTS, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AND IT TOOK LONG TIME TO GET TRACTION. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS HURT!! TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST $3900. IN MY OPINION, TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT FAIL THIS EARLY AND I WANT HONDA TO TAKE COMPLETE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT THEY OFFER. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS IN MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I WAS THE LAST OF 3 CARS THAT HAD STOPPED FOR A SCHOOL BUS. I WAS REAR-ENDED BY A 4TH CAR THAT DID NOT STOP. THEN MY FRONT END HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT AND BACK END AND THE VAN HAD TO BE TOWED. I COULD HARDLY OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR. IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

AIR BAGS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS INDICATOR CONSTANTLY REMAINS ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE COMPUTER PANEL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IF NOT REPLACED, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, THE CONTACT LEARNED OF NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME DEFECT ON HER VEHICLE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED OF A SPECIAL WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE AIR BAGS; HOWEVER, IT ONLY INCLUDES THE OPDS SENSOR, NOT THE COMPUTER MANUAL PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 92,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING IN HIS VEHICLE. HONDA RECOMMENDED THAT THEY REPAIR THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. ONCE IT WAS RESTARTED, THE SERVICE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN OPERATING NORMALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE LASTED FOR ONLY 40 SECONDS AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO AN INCORRECT GEAR ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $4,000. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 112,000. UPDATED 08/04/09 *BF UPDATED 08/05/09.*JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE
DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE, IT WOULD COME VERY CLOSE TO CLOSING AND THEN WOULD RETREAT BACKWARDS AS IF SOMETHING WAS IN ITS WAY, THOUGH NOTHING WAS. I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOOR. THE SAME DAY THIS OCCURRED, MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE CAR AND TRIED TAKING OUT THE FUSES TO SEE IF WE COULD RESET THE DOORS "MEMORY'. THE DOOR WOULD THEN CLOSE, NO DOOR LIGHT WAS LIT ON THE DASH, NOR WAS THERE A BEEPING NOISE WHICH INDICATES DOOR IS OPEN. THE DOOR DID APPEAR SLIGHTLY AJAR THOUGH. MY HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD, THANKFULLY THIS TIME WITHOUT MY KIDS IN THE CAR, AND THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR OPENED BY ITSELF ON 3 OCCASIONS BEFORE RETURNING HOME, ONLY A COUPLE OF MILES. WE HAVE AN APPT IN THE MORNING AT A HONDA DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE, OTHER PEOPLE REPORT THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN AS WELL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
VAN ALWAYS HAS A GRINDING NOISE WHEN YOU PUT THE BRAKES ON HARD. IT APPEARS TO BE ONLY ON THE FRONT. WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER, THE TECH RODE WITH US TO HEAR THE NOISE AND REPLACED THE ROTORS & RESURFACED THE DISCS BASED ON THE HONDA TECH LINE. THE TECH INDICATED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA VANS, AS THE FRONT OF THE VAN IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE BRAKES THAT ARE PROVIDED BY HONDA. IN LESS THAN 10,000 MORE MILES, IT WAS MAKING THAT NOISE AND STILL IS. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE MULTI POINT INSPECTION, THEY ALWAYS INDICATE THAT THE BRAKES HAVE PLENTY LEFT. IT GRINDS EVERYTIME YOU PUT THE BRAKES ON AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE OLDER CARS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE WORN DOWN COMPLETELY. *TR

STEERING
HONDA ODYSSEY. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING PUMP WHINES, BUZZES OR HUMS. HONDA ISSUED A BULLETIN (HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 07-005 APPLICABLE TO ALL 05-07 AND SOME 08 VANS) STATING THE POWER STEERING PUMP RESERVOIR IS DEFECTIVE, REQUIRING A NEW PUMP, FILTER AND FLUID. HOWEVER, THEY WILL ONLY PROVIDE REPLACEMENT IF UNDER WARRANTY. MY CONCERN IS THE METAL SHAVING OR OTHER PARTICLES MY IMPACT THE STEERING AND CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
ABOUT HALF A YEAR AGO, ONE OF TWO FUTURA 2000 RADIAL LTE ON OUR HONDA ODYSSEY 2000 STARTED VIBRATING AT AROUND 35 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO A TIRE SHOP TO HAVE THE TIRE INSPECTED. THE TIRE WAS REBALANCED AND ALL FOUR WHEELS ALIGNED. THE VIBRATION CONTINUED UNTIL I MOVED THE TIRE FROM THE FRONT TO THE REAR A COUPLE DAYS LATER. YESTERDAY, ALMOST AT THE END OF A 1000 MILE TRIP, VIBRATIONS RE-EMERGED AND GOT INCREASINGLY WORSE. CHECKING THE SIDE MIRROR I COULD SEE THE TIRE MATERIAL WOBBLING. WE PULLED OVER TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED THAT ABOUT A 10 INCH STRIP OF TREAD HAD SEPARATED. *TR

STEERING
OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE AND WE REQUESTED THE TECHNICIAN LISTEN TO A WHIRRING NOISE AND DIFFICULTY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. WE WERE INFORMED THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH WE FOUND THIS WAS LISTED AS A KNOW DEFECT IN THE 2006 AND ONLY A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN WAS PROVIDED (07-005 ISSUED 1/27/2009). THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS MODEL YEAR FOR THIS MAKE OF AUTOMOBILE. *TR

SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY INSTALLED A JET KIT FOR THE TRANSMISSION, SO IT WOULD NOT EXPERIENCE DISCOLORATION DUE TO OVERHEATING. AFTER THE INSTALLATION, THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT AGAIN. THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COSTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,893.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY COMPLETELY FAILED FOR THE SECOND TIME ON SUNDAY 3/7/09. THE MILEAGE ON THE VAN AT THE TIME WAS APPROX. 112,000. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS INJURED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VAN, ALBEIT SLOWLY, TO A NEARBY HONDA DEALER, GUSTMAN OF APPLETON, WI., WHERE I LEFT IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ODYESSEY'S TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO THE POINT WERE A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY. ON OR ABOUT 6/17/05 AT 56,427 MILES THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY LAKELAND HONDA IN SHEBOYGAN, WI. PRESENTLY, HONDA OF AMERICA WILL ONLY COVER 55% OF THE TOTAL REPAIR BILL AT GUSTMAN IN APPLETON. AND, BESIDES THE NEW OR REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION HONDA IS REQUIRING THAT THE ODYESSEY'S $800 COMPUTER ALSO BE REPLACED. THE TOTAL COST IS EXPECTED TO RUN ABOUT $4,300.00. SUBTRACTING HONDA'S 55% LEAVES ME WITH A BILL OF AT LEAST $2,365. I AM CONCERNED THAT SHOULD THIS 3RD TRANSMISSION FAIL AN ACCIDENT MAY RESULT AND SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED. SO FAR I HAVE BEEN LUCKY. IN MY VIEW HONDA OF AMERICA IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE OWNERS OF THEIR VEHICLES. *TR
