STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
ANY TIME WHEN OUSIDE TEMP DROPS BELOW 40 DEG FARENHEIGHT AND I DRIVE MY 06 HONDA ODYSSEY I GET A LOUD WHINING AT IDLE AND ACCERLERATION BUT MORE PREDOMINANTLY WHEN TURNING LEFT TO RIGHT. AFTER MANY VISITS TO THE DEALER BECAUSE WHICH THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE NOISE, I FINALLY TOOK IT IN FIRST THING IN THE MORNING WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS BELOW 40 DEG FOR THEM TO VERIFY THE NOISE. THEY CONCLUDED THAT IT WAS THE POWER STERING PUMP AND ORDERED A NEW ONE AND INSTALLED IT. THREE DAYS LATER IT WAS STILL MAKING THE NOISE AND AGAIN THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE NOISE. SO I AGAIN TOOK IT FIRST THING IN THE AM AND THEY AGAIN CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE SINCE RECEIVED A TSP BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM AND ARE GOING TO TRY TO ORDER THE NECESSARY PARTS TO FIX MY PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ME FOR MONTHS AND I WILL BE SURE TO COMMENT IF THIS PROBLEM GETS CORRECTED.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY BEGAN MAKING A LOUD METAL ON METAL CLUNK WHENEVER WE WENT OVER ANY KIND OF BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE NOISE WAS CENTRALIZED TO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN TAKING IT IT TO BE REPAIRED, A SECTION OF THE FRONT COILD SPRING THAT HAD SHEARED OFF FELL FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WE PULLED OVER AND RECOVERED THE SECTION OF COIL AND WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE GOING SLOW AND THAT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE DONE ANY OTHER DAMAGE. TO CORRECT THE FAILURE WE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS ($560) AND WE WERE ALSO ADVISED TO REPLACE THE STRUTS EVEN THOUGH THEY APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO LEAKAGE (WHICH WE CHOSE NOT TO DO AT THIS TIME DUE TO COST).

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
JULY 2002, I TOOK MY ODYSSEY TO A HONDA DEALER BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS: 1. MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF. 2. MY ABS LIGHT HAD ALSO BEGUN TO GO ON AND OFF. 3. MY POWER LOCKS WOULD LOCK UNCONTROLLABLY AND DRAIN BATTERY. I ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK. AFTER $160 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE, I WAS TOLD THE FOLLOWING: CODE 8-3 PRESENT ON SRS. CLEARED CODE AND TEST DROVE. LIGHT REMAINED OFF FOR DRIVE. SUGGEST REPLACING AIRBAG IF LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. PROBABLY A SENSOR PROBLEM. COST $748 CODE 44 PRESENT ON ABS. RIGHT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR IS FAULTY. SUGGEST REPLACING SENSOR. COST $283 ELECTRONIC LOCKS NEED NEW LOCK UNIT. COST $256 I WAS SHOCKED THAT REPAIRS WOULD COST ANOTHER $1300. AFTER DISCUSSING THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE DEALER AND BEING TOLD THE ISSUES WERE PROBABLY ALL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS, I OPTED NOT TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. JUST AFTER DRIVING OFF, MY SRS AND ABS LIGHTS CAME BACK ON AND HAVE REMAINED ON EVER SINCE. NOW, AFTER SEEING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS AND LEARNING THAT THE AIRBAGS MAY ACTUALLY NOT WORK, I AM REPORTING MY EXPERIENCE AS WELL... I JUST BOUGHT A CHEVY.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH A CURRENT ODOMETER READING OF 92000 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING SHIFTING PROBLEMS IN THIRD GEAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN CRUISING SPEEDS AND REDUCED SPEED THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP FROM 5TH GEAR TO SECOND GEAR, WHICH CAUSED THE RPMS TO BE TOO HIGH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT VERY SLUGGISHLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR. THE RPM'S WOULD INCREASE SO THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE GEARS TO SHIFT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED OFTEN, AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A/C PROBLEM 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. WE PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY IN JUNE 2006, AND IN DECEMBER WE STARTED HAVING A/C PROBLEMS. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A HOLE IN THE A/C CONDENSOR WHICH THE HONDA DEALER STATED TO BE CAUSED BY A ROCK. THE VAN HAD LESS THAN 11,000 MILES ON IT, AND WE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VAN. SURELY, THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SHOULD COVER SUCH A PROBLEM, BUT HONDA SAID NO. BEING ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD, WE FIND IT VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW BY HONDA. THE A/C CONDENSOR IS JUST SITTING THERE EXPOSED TO ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE ROAD WITH NO GRILL IN FRONT OF IT. THE AMERICAN HONDA REP AGREED TO PAY HALF AS A "GOOD WILL GESTURE". IT STILL COST US $275 FOR THE REPAIR. LOTS OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH HONDA ODESSEYS AS SEEN ON THE INTERNET. HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND INSTALL A SCREEN IN FRONT OF THE CONDENSOR TO PROTECT IT, AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO REIMBURSE EVERYONE ANY MONEY SPENT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SLIPPING FROM 2ND TO 3RD AROUND 40 - 55 MPH AND ENGINE WOULD REV, ALSO WHIPLASHING STRENGTH SLAMMING GEARS ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY. TAKEN TO CARMAX FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY SERVICE AND WASN'T HONORED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT FIND RELATED RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING PROPERLY. MAINTENANCE RECORD SHOWS TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS BEEN CHANGED BEFORE PURCHASING. ALSO TAKEN TO AAMCO FOR SECOND OPINION AND THEY FOUND BURNT FLUID SUGGESTING A PROBLEM CURRENTLY STILL TROUBLESHOOTING DO TO EXTENDED WARRANTY WANTING HARD EVIDENCE. THERE ARE NO TRANSMISSION CODES SHOWING UP ON THE COMPUTER OR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. FLUIDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BY AAMCO AND SLAMMING GOT WORSE. I HAVE PRINTED OUT OVER 55 PAGES IN COMPLAINTS AND HOPING THIS WOULD BE EVIDENCE ENOUGH TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT BEFORE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP 13,000 MILES FROM NOW. *JB

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
MARCH 2007. WAS INFORMED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP IN IRVINE, CA THAT THE PROBLEM THAT EXISTED WITH MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY NOT PROVIDING COLD AIR WAS IN FACT A DAMAGED A/C CONDENSER. THE SERVICE TECH. SHOWED ME THE AREA IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE DAMAGE TO THE A/C CONDENSER HAD OCCURRED. THE SERVICE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE RESULT WAS MOST LIKELY FROM A ROCK OR SIMILAR OBJECT STRIKING THE CONDENSER. AFTER FURTHER REVIEWING THE DAMAGED CONDENSER, I REALIZED THAT THE CONDENSER IS MOUNTED IN SUCH A FASHION IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AS NOT HAVING THE PROTECTION FROM ROAD DEBRIS THAT IT POSSIBLY SHOULD. THERE IS ONLY A SMALL GRILL THAT COVERS THE FRONT OF THE A/C CONDENSER. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT A DESIGN PROBLEM EXISTS WITH THE ODYSSEY, IN THE FACT THAT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY SITUATION THAT OTHERS CURRENTLY OR PREVIOUSLY HAVE HAD WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE STARTING THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY HE HEARD A LOUD STATIC SOUNDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FUSE BOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO PARTICULAR TIME OF THE DAY, AND THERE WERE NO PARTICULAR ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THIS OCCURRED.. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED HIM THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THE NOISE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FUSE BOX, AND THE STARTER RELAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THIS TYPE OF NOISE WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE HAD 10,000 MILES. *AK UPDATE 4/9/07 *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS AT 40242 MILES. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, AND WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS OF NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN HONDA AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO DO AN 80-20 SPLIT. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS SIMILAR, WITH FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT 82,000 MILES. HONDA WILL AGREE TO PAY PARTS ONLY, BUT WILL NOT BUY THEM LOCALLY, AND WANTS TO SHIP THEM OVERSEAS AT OUR EXPENSE. WE LIVE IN GERMANY WITH THE AIR FORCE, SHIPPING WILL BE OVER $1000 AND LABOR WILL BE OVER $1000 AT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE ON THE 2ND TRANSMISSION IN MAY 04. SHAME ON HONDA FOR ALLOWING THIS PROBLEM TO CONTINUE. *JB

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, AIR BAGS
TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING STEERING PROBLEMS RELATED TO RECALL #05V039000. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING THE VEHICLE MOVED FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE POLICE, AND WAS NOT GIVEN A POLICE REPORT. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE TIRES, AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE TIRES. THE CONTACT ADVISED THE MECHANIC OF THE STEERING RECALL ,AND HE DENIED THAT IT WAS RELATED. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED AT THE TIME OF THE COLLISION. RECALL #05V344000 WAS RELATED TO THE AIR BAGS: FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WAS DIFFICULT TO CLOSE UNLESS PRESSURE WAS APPLIED. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,200. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 HONDA ODYSSEY: GOT THE NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN 2004 ABOUT THE 2ND GEAR TRANSMISSION COOLER UPDATE / INSPECTION NEEDED FOR OUR ODYSSEY. WE HAD THE DEALER INSTALL THE REVISED COOLER AND AT ABOUT 45K MILES (SHORTLY AFTER) WE NOTICED A HIGH PITCHED WHINE COMING FROM THE CAR AT ALL SPEEDS THAT INCREASES IN PITCH / INTENSITY AS THE VEHICLE SPEED INCREASES. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING THE NOISE GOES AWAY - AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION IS RE-ENGAGED THE NOISE COMES BACK SO THE 'GEAR WHINE' TYPE NOISE IS DEFINITELY COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND WE DIDN'T NOTICE THIS UNTIL THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. NOW WE HAVE 100K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION 'SHUDDERS' ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN BEING KICKED DOWN FROM 5TH GEAR TO A LOWER GEAR LIKE 4TH OR 3RD SO I EXPECT IT TO FAIL SOON. *JB

TIRES
SINCE I BOUGHT MY VAN, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THE PAX TIRE SYSTEM. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HONDA. THE REPUTATION THAT HELD IN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES GROWING UP INTO ADULTHOOD NOW HAVE BEEN SHATTERED. I HAVE HAD NO SUPPORT THROUGH MY LOCAL DEALER NOR HONDA HEADQUARTERS. I AM STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING EVEN AFTER REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES AT MY OWN EXPENSE. IT IS A DISGUSTING THAT HONDA IS SELLING CARS THEY CANNOT FIX. I AM TOTALLY FED UP WITH THE SITUATION WITH MY CAR AND FEEL HOPELESS FOR ITS FUTURE. PLEASE HELP! I HAVE TOLD EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY AWAY FROM HONDA AND ESPECIALLY THE TOURING MODEL! *JB

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY, 147,000 MILES. ON SATURDAY, MARCH 3, 2007 AT APPROXIMATELY 11:30 AM, I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE BENEATH MY VEHICLE. I THEN HEARD A PIECE OF METAL SLIDING DOWN THE ROADWAY BEHIND ME. AFTER PULLING OVER AND NOTICING THAT MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE HAD BEEN PUNCTURED AND GOING FLAT, I RETRIEVED THE LARGE PIECE OF COILED METAL FROM THE ROADWAY. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS A BROKEN COIL SPRING, BUT IT APPEARED THAT THE SPRINGS WERE OK. I REPLACED THE TIRE AND PROCEEDED SLOWLY BELIEVING THAT I HAD PROBABLY RUN OVER THE BROKEN SPRING WHICH HAD BEEN LEFT IN THE ROADWAY BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD I HEARD THE SAME SOUND, AND ANOTHER PIECE OF METAL SLIDING DOWN THE ROAD. I RETRIEVED THAT PIECE OF METAL AND COMPARED IT WITH THE FIRST, AND IT IS A NEAR DUPLICATE MATCH, INCLUDING THE LOCATION OF THE BREAK. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT MY VAN HAD BROKEN BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FRONT COIL SPRINGS, NEARLY IDENTICALLY, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TELL BECAUSE THEY APPEARED TO STILL BE SEATED PROPERLY IN THE COIL HOUSING CLOSEST TO THE TIRE. IT APPEARS THAT THE BROKEN COIL SPRINGS ARE RUSTED THROUGH THE BLACK MANUFACTURERS PAINT AT THE LOCATION OF THE FRACTURE. I HAD TWO OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME AT THE TIMES OF THE BREAKS. I ESTIMATE MY SPEED AT 50 MPH ON THE FIRST BREAK, ON THE TWO LANE ROADWAY, AND THE ROADWAY WAS LEVEL, CLEAR AND DRY. THE SECOND BREAK OCCURRED PROBABLY WITHIN 10 MILES OF THE FIRST AND I ESTIMATE MY SPEED AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. I WAS OPERATING ON A TWO LANE ROADWAY, AND THE ROADWAY WAS LEVEL, CLEAR AND DRY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT A TIME BETWEEN THE TWO BREAKS, AFTER CRESTING A HILL ON A TWO LANE ROADWAY, I HEARD A METAL SCRAPING NOISE BENEATH THE VEHICLE, AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND WALKED THE ROADWAY BEHIND THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE WHAT CAUSED THE SOUND. AFTER PULLING AWAY, THE SOUND WAS GONE. *JB
