POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. HE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN MAY OR JUNE 2004 CONCERNING THE TRANSMISSION . HE TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER ON 6-17-04, AND THEY TOOK PICTURES INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, AND COULD NOT FIND ANY SCORCH MARKS. THEY HOOKED UP A KIT OIL JET, PART 106250-PGH-306 TO THE CAR TO KEEP THE GEARS FROM GETTING HOT. AT 37,000 MILES, ROUGHLY TWO-THREE WEEKS AGO THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. IT STARTED SHIFTING POORLY AND JERKING BADLY. HE TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY WOULD NOT FIX VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY OR UNDER RECALL 04V176000. THEY SAID IT WAS A SALVAGED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AT THE FACTORY, AND IT SHOULD NOT MATTER THAT IT WAS A SALVAGED VEHICLE. *AK

AIR BAGS
MY HONDA ODYSSEY (2003 MODEL WITH 21K MILES) HAVE THE AIR-BAG SYSTEM FAILED FOR NO REASON (PROBABLY DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING). THE VAN HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. FOR SAFETY REASON, IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE HONDA TO CHECK AIRBAGS FUNCTION OF OTHERS. AS I KNOW, 2005 ODYSSEY HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AIRBAG FAILURE. *NM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
WHILE CAR SHOPPING AT A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WE OBSERVED THAT THE POWER SLIDING DOORS ON A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY DO NOT HAVE ANY EMERGENCY STOPPING MECHANISM SHOULD AN ARM OR OTHER BODY PART BE IN THE WAY OF THE DOOR WHEN IT IS CLOSING. MY HAND WAS IN THE DOOR WHEN IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE AND IT WAS SLIGHTLY PINCHED. I MOVED AWAY FROM IT AVOIDING SERIOUS INJURY. WE TESTED THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THIS AND IT RESPONDED THE SAME WAY EACH TIME. IT DID NOT STOP UNLESS THE KEY FOB WAS USED. WHEN WE POINTED THIS OUT TO THE SALESMAN WE WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT HAD NOTICED THIS. IF YOU PULL ON THE DOOR HANDLE FROM THE EXTERIOR IT INITIATES THE DOOR CLOSING AUTOMATICALLY. FOR A SMALL CHILD THAT MIGHT USE THAT HANDLE AS A METHOD OF ENTRY THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE SALESMAN SAID THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DIFFERENT ON A NEWER MODEL. WE DIDN'T CHECK ON THE CONDITION OF A NEWER MODEL TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN REMEDIED OR NOT. *JB

TIRES:SIDEWALL
I AM WRITING ABOUT A GOODYEAR TRIPLETRED ASSURANCE TIRE WITH ABOUT 5,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY TIRE HAD A VALVE LEAK. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY TIRE WENT FLAT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE LOW PSI CAUSED THE RIM TO 'CHEW-UP' THE INSIDE OF THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2005 ODYSSEY WITH 10K MILES EXPERIENCING LOUD GRINDING UPON MEDIUM TO HARD BRAKING. MOSTLY OCCURS WITH IN TOWN DRIVING AFTER BRAKES HAVE WARMED UP. WILL OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES IN A ROW AND THEN NOT BE HEARD AGAIN FOR WEEKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE TAKEN IN INTO HONDA 2X'S TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY HAVE DRIVEN IT AND HEARD NOTHING. THEY CHECKED PADS AND ROTORS AND EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT. AFTER BEING TREATED LIKE I WAS CRAZY I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED TO HAVE A SERVICE MANAGER RIDE WITH ME WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS APPARENT. HE HEARD THE PROBLEM AND AFTER CONSULTING WITH A SHOP FOREMAN STATED THAT HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND I HAVE NO OPTIONS OF FIXING THIS UNTIL HONDA FIGURES OUT WHAT TO DO.*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED A NEW 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY LX IN SEPTEMBER 2004. I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE INCIDENTS IN WHICH THE BRAKES MAKE A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE WITH NORMAL BRAKING THAT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. THE SOUND AND FEEL IS LIKE THERE IS METAL GRINDING METAL FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. WHEN THE GRINDING OCCURS, BRAKING POWER IS MINIMAL. THE GRINDING OCCURS MORE FREQUENTLY IN CITY DRIVING AFTER USING THE BRAKES MORE OFTEN. ITS ALMOST LIKE THEY HEAT UP AND GET STICKY??? THE SCARCITY EXPERIENCE WAS COMING DOWN A HILL TO A RED LIGHT AT 15 MPH, MY FAMILY WITHIN, COMING TO A MAJOR ROAD, AND THE FEELING OF THE VAN NOT STOPPING SCARED ME TO DEATH. THE GRINDING ISSUE HAS RESULTED IN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY BUT NO LOSS OF CONTROL. AS I HAVE FOUND HERE, I AM PART OF A GROWING COMPLAINT FROM OTHER NEW ODYSSEY OWNERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED AND EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. DO NOT KNOW IF THIS MATTERS OR NOT, WHEN THIS OCCURS, I CAN GO AND COOL THE BRAKES WITH WATER AND THE SENSATION WILL DIMINISH AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE COMMON AS TIME IS CONTINUING. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO MY DEALER, BUT THEY ALWAYS JUST SAY THAT THEY DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING. SAME OLE SAME OLE....*NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(1) TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE 2ND TO 3RD GEARS WHILE DRIVING. (2) TRANSMISSION FAILED AND UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VAN (3) TOOK THE VAN TO HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR HONDA TRANSMISSION. SOME CAR/VAN DOES HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY FOR MY VAN. MY CO-WORKER'S 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH EXTENDED FACTORY WARRANTY AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. WHY IS MY VAN DOES NOT HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY? THANK YOU. *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
SECOND ROW SEAT BELTS DO NOT REMAIN IN LOCKED POSITION WHEN USING WITH AN INFANT CAR SEAT. THE SEAT BELT WILL REMAIN LOCKED FOR 1, 2, OR 3 DAYS. BUT WE HAVE FOUND THE BELT LOCKING MECHANISM TO EVENTUALLY RELEASE. CHECKING THE BELT TO SEE IT'S LOCKED AT THE START OF YOUR TRIP ONLY TO FIND AT THE END OF THE TRIP THE LOCK HAS RELEASED. SINCE THE VAN IS OUT OF 3 YR / 36,000 MI WARRANTY, WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VAN IS MODEL YEAR 2000 WITH 32,000 MILES. *NM

SEATS
I AM GUESSING THAT WHEN I WENT TO THE CAR WASH ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THEY LIFTED UP THE CAPTAINS CHAIRS, IN THE 2ND ROW, IN MY HONDA ODYSSEY TO CLEAN. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY HAD DONE THIS AND CHECKED MY 2 YEAR OLDS CAR SEAT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS SECURE BUT NOT THE SEAT ITSELF AND DROVE AWAY. TODAY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES WHEN MY DAUGHTER, CAR SEAT, AND CAPTAIN CHAIR FLEW INTO THE BACK OF MY DRIVERS SEAT. THE CAPTAINS CHAIR WAS NOT SECURE. MY DAUGHTER WAS JUST FINE WITH A FEW CUTS AND BRUISES. I SPOKE TO ALL OF MY FRIENDS TO WARN THEM ABOUT THIS AND NOT A ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT AS BEING AND ISSUE. YOU CANNOT SEE EASILY THAT THE SEAT IS NOT SECURELY ATTACHED AND BECAUSE I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE SEAT MYSELF I DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEA THAT THEY WOULD BE ANY ISSUE. I KNOW NOW THAT I SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK THAT BUT SEEING AS HOW NONE OF MY FRIENDS EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THAT EITHER, I THOUGHT I SHOULD MAKE PEOPLE AWARE. IT SHOCKS ME THAT SO MANY SAFETY FEATURES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED BUT NOT ON SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THIS. PLEASE HELP ME. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, VISIBILITY, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
HELLO - I HAVE A 2005 ODYSSEY THAT MIGHT HAVE AND OTHERS MIGHT HAVE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. A WHILE BACK I FOUND A LOOSE BOLT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR AND ANOTHER BOLT THAT WAS NOT TIGHTENED AT THE FACTORY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS QUALITY CONTROL BREAKDOWN. WHILE MY PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED, SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES AND IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AS A RESULT OF REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO FIX MY VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS ALSO THAT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE FOUND SIX OTHER VEHICLES WITH LOOSE BOLTS IN THE CAR. IF SOMEONE IS IN A POSITION TO DO THIS, WHAT ELSE WOULD THIS PERSON POTENTIALLY HAVE DONE TO THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS. THIS MAKES ME WONDER IF SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY WAS DOING THIS AS A JOKE OR IF THERE ARE OTHER POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO THIS FINDING. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE DVD/NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THE REAR CAMERA OFTEN STAYS ON WHILE MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS QUITE A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. I HAVE BEEN WORKING THESE ISSUES WITH HONDA CUSTOMER CARE FOR THE LAST 5 WEEKS WITH NO PROGRESS. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FIVE TIMES TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT. I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHILE IT WAS IN HAVING THE DVD/NAV PROBLEM LOOKED AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FIXED (FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE), THREE ADDITIONAL RECALLS WERE FOUND. ALSO, THE REAR VIEW MIRROR COULD NOT BE FIXED AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. HAD TO BRING IT BACK IN THE FOLLOWING DAY SINCE IT WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY (HAD WIND NOISE). THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED. I AM NOW ON VACATION AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS STOPPED WORKING. THE PROBLEMS THAT CONTINUE TO MOUNT UP ON THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME QUESTION ITS OVERALL SAFETY AND ROAD WORTHINESS. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM SMALL DEALER. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE ENGINE OIL IS LEAKING. IT HAD 52000 MILES ON IT. DEALER SAYS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD FIX THAT PROBLEM FOR ME AS IT IS NOT DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THE SEAL IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE DEALER IS ASKING $600.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ALSO LUNGES FORWARD WHEN DECELERATING AND COMING TO A GRADED STOP.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND THE HORN BEGAN TO HONK CONTINUOUSLY. SHE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AS THE INTERIOR BEGAN TO FILL UP WITH ACRID, DARK SMOKE RISING FROM BENEATH THE STEERING COLUMN BY HER LEGS. SHE WAS VERY CONCERNED AND QUICKLY ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE VAN SINCE THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE WAS BURNING HER EYES. THE DOOR LOCKS DID NOT WORK. AFTER STRUGGLING IN PANIC, SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SQUEEZE OUT THE OPEN WINDOW. LUCKILY MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE. WITH ENGINE STILL RUNNING AND THE KEY IN HAND, SHE CALLED ME AT WORK. I HAD HER CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT . WHEN THEY ARRIVED, THEY TOO WERE UNABLE TO STOP THE ENGINE BY CUTTING THE BATTERY WIRE AND FINALLY STOPPED THE BURNING OF THE WIRES BY PULLING THE MASTER FUSE. I CONTACTED OUR HONDA DEALER AND THEY REFERRED ME TO HONDA AMERICA. HONDA AMERICA AUTHORIZED OUR SHOP TO DO AN INITIAL TEAR DOWN. AT THAT TIME, THEY FOUND A COMPONENT IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT SHORTED WHICH CAUSED THE BURNING OF THE WIRES. THE WIRES BURNED COMPLETELY FROM THE FUSE BOARD AND INTO A WIRE HARNESS BUNDLE. NO FUSE WAS BURNED. I DO NOT KNOW YET HOW FAR THE DAMAGE PROGRESSED OR WHAT OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE FRIED BY THIS RUNNING SHORT. AFTER A WEEK OF DELIBERATION, HONDA INFORMED ME THIS MORNING THAT IT WAS A WEAR OUT OF A PART AND OF NO FURTHER CONCERN TO THEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WARRANTY EXPIRED. BEING TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE WITH WIRES BURNING, THE OCCUPANT EXPERIENCED SEVERE SICKNESS A COUPLE OF DAYS FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT AND HER LUNGS HURT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE VEHICLE SITS IDLE AT THE SHOP WHERE WE TOWED IT. I DON'T WANT TO AUTHORIZE REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE NHTSA DETERMINES IF AN INVESTIGATION IS WARRANTED TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC. THERE ARE NO AFTER MARKET ADDITIONS. ALL MAJOR, MAINTENANCE EVENTS WERE PERFORMED BY OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER FOR AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN OUR POSSESSION. *NM
