POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT
I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE VEHICLE FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES. WHEN I FOUND OUT MY TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED, I WAS TOLD BY HONDA CUSTOMER LINE EMPLOYEE AT 800 999 1009 THAT A REPAIR WAS MADE TO MY VEHICLE WITHOUT TELLING ME IT WAS DONE. THE RECALL WAS APRIL 2004. THE ALLEGED REPAIR WAS IN MAY 2004. THE ALLEGED NOTICE MAILED TO ME WAS JULY 2004. I SMELL DECEPTION BY HONDA. THEY MAY BE COVERING UP A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THE ODYSSEY THAN NHTSA IS AWARE. I HAVE HEARD THAT SEVERAL OWNERS OF 2002 ODYSSEYS HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURES THAT COULD LEAD TO LOCKING UP OF THE VANS AND COULD LEAD TO CRASHES. MY VAN RECENTLY DID NOT ACCELERATE WHILE ENTERING THE INTERSTATE IN DAYTON OHIO. THIS NEARLY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT INVOLVING MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS. I LEARNED OF THIS RECALL FROM CONSUMER REPORTS . THE SO CALLED REPAIR IN 2004 FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM

STRUCTURE
I BOUGHT A NEW 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L AND DROVE IT ON ONLY 2 OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME I DROVE IT, I HAD THE WINDOWS BEHIND THE FRONT SEATS DOWN AND NOT ONLY WAS THE NOISE LEVEL EXTREMELY HIGH, BUT IT CREATED SOME KIND OF VIBRATION OR PRESSURE CHANGE WHICH CAUSED EXTREME PAIN TO MY EAR DRUMS. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, I DROVE IT AGAIN, TRIED ALL COMBINATIONS OF ROLLING DOWN WINDOWS BUT AS LONG AS THE BACK ONES WERE DOWN, THE VIBRATION/PRESSURE TO MY EARS WAS INTOLERABLE. I HAD THROBBING IN MY EARS FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND IT FINALLY LED TO AN EAR INFECTION. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF DARLING'S HONDA (THE DEALERSHIP IN BANGOR, MAINE) AND TO AMERICAN HONDA. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED FOR 3 MONTHS TO TRY TO FIND AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE FOR ME. HOWEVER, AMERICAN HONDA SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING AND THE VEHICLE DESIGN IS NOT DEFECTIVE, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HEARD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS. APPARENTLY RUPTURED OR PERFORATED EAR DRUMS ARE NOT CONSIDERED A HAZARD TO THE HONDA COMPANY. I NOW HAVE A NEW CAR I CANNOT USE UNLESS IT IS TOO COLD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS, OR SO WARM THAT THE A/C IS THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE, BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD TO MY HEALTH. *JB

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
THIS HAPPENED WHILE FINISHING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A SHORT ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY. WHILE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY LEFT HAND (RIGHT HAND MEANWHILE MOVING TO NEW POSITION)AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO STRAIGHTEN MY VEHICLE AGAIN, THE LITTLE FINGER OF MY LEFT HAND GOT CAUGHT BETWEEN THE AIRBAG/STEERING COLUMN AND THE ARRAY OF BUTTONS FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL (NEAR THE BASE WHERE THE GAP THERE IS LARGER). AFTER TURNING THE WHEEL A LITTLE BIT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO FREE MY HAND, I REALIZED I WAS IN TROUBLE: I COULDN'T STRAIGHTEN THE STEERING WHEEL OUT WITHOUT BREAKING MY HAND, AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL FAR ENOUGH TO THE RIGHT TO FREE MY HAND WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE LEAVING THE ROAD. SO I GRITTED MY TEETH AND YANKED MY HAND OUT, LEAVING A LONG CUT ON THE TOP/SIDE OF MY LITTLE FINGER, BUT ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. LOOKING AT THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION, I SEE THAT LARGE SPACE BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIRBAG ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRBAG (2 O CLOCK TO 4 O CLOCK) COMES TO A NARROWER CONE OR POINTED SHAPE AT THE INFERIOR END, SO THAT WHILE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL THERE WITH THE LEFT HAND (THUMB ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL), THE HAND CAN SLIDE DOWN AND GET 'FED' INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS AND THE AIRBAG AREA. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 22 YEARS WITHOUT ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT, MOST OF THEM WITH HONDA VEHICLES, SEVERAL OF THEM WITH CRUISE CONTROL VEHICLES, AND I HAVEN'T CHANGED MY STYLE OF DRIVING,BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY '02 HONDA ODYSSEY IS NOW ON ITS THIRD TRANSMISSION IN 86000 MILES THE FIRST WAS REPLACED AT 3000. LAST FAILURE OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE WHILE GOING THROUGH HILLS OF CHATTANOOGA, TN. TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND BRAKES STARTED TO FAIL DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID EJECTED FROM VEHICLE. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO CONTROL VAN AND MOVE OFF OF ROADWAY. HONDA REPLACED ENTIRE TRANSMISSION BUT HAS NOT REIMBURSED FOR OTHER EXPENSES. THIS VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT OVERHEATING PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE.*JB

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
DT: 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE SECOND ROW SEAT DISLODGED FROM THE VEHICLE AND TIPPED FORWARD WITH CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER IN A CHILD SAFETY SEAT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE CONSUMER HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. THIS SEAT HAD BEEN IN THIS SPOT FOR MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS NOT LATCHED CORRECTLY AND THEY SECURED IT. THE DEALERSHIP SHOWED CONSUMER HOW TO DO THIS. SHE TRIED TO LATCH THE SEAT AND COULD NOT GET IT IN. SHE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREED THAT IT WOULD NOT GO IN. THEN THEY LOOKED AT ANOTHER VEHICLE AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SEAT HAD TO BE DROPPED DOWN VERY HARD INTO PLACE TO MAKE IT LATCH; THIS WAS NOT INDICATED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY STATED COULD VISUALIZE THAT ITWAS LATCHED, BUT UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THERE WAS NO WAY TO TELL.*AK

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
MY 14-YEAR OLD BECAME ENTANGLED IN THE SEAT BELT IN THE 3RD ROW PASSENGER-SIDE SEAT OF OUR NEW HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. THE SEAT BELT WAS WRAPPED AROUND HIS WAIST. THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO GAIN ANY SLACK TO LOOSEN THE BELT. ALL ATTEMPTS TO LOOSEN (BY FEEDING IN SLACK TO GAIN RELEASE) ONLY MADE THE BELT TIGHTER UNTIL MY CHILD WAS LITERALLY HANGING FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE, 8 HOURS FROM HOME. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CUT THE BELT TO RELEASE HIM. (I HAPPENED TO HAVE A KNIFE IN THE CAR, WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL.) I HAVE ASKED HONDA TO REPAIR THE BELT. THEY HAVE OFFERED 50% ONLY. I AM MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NOT A MANUAL OVERRIDE TO ALLOW THE SEAT BELT TO BE RELEASED. I UNDERSTAND NOW THAT THE SEAT BELT GOES INTO A DIFFERENT MODE WHEN EXTENDED ALL THE WAY. IT WILL NOT RELEASE UNTIL THE BELT IS RETRACTED ALL THE WAY. IT SOUNDS LIKE HONDA HAS FIXED A SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING CHILD CAR SEATS, BUT THEY HAVE CREATED A NEW SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL CHILDREN. WHAT IF THE BELT HAD GOTTEN WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK? ANY CHILD PLACED IN A SEAT BELT HAS THE POTENTIAL OF PULLING THE SEAT BELT OUT ALL OF THE WAY AND ALLOWING IT TO GET WRAPPED AROUND THEIR BODY OR NECK.*JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
DT: UPON PURCHASING, THE VEHICLE OWNER NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON, AND THE DEALER SAID DON'T WORRY THEY WILL FIX IT. THEY REPAIRED IT ABOUT A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE SRS CONTROL UNIT, CLEARED THE CODE, AND THE SRS LIGHT WENT OUT. THE. OWNER HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THE OWNER NOTICED A RECALL ON THE 2005 MODEL, BUT THE OWNER DIDN'T HAVE THE RECALL NUMBER, BUT THE RECALL DEALT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE OWNER STATED THERE WERE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT AIR BAGS ON NHTSA WEB SITE. *AK

WE HAVE A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. WHILE DRIVING, WITH FOOT ON ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE TRIES TO SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR, BUT JUST REVS WITHOUT ENGAGING INTO GEAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING REGULARLY (EVERY FEW MILES) FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS. IT HAD OCCURRED PREVIOUSLY SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, BUT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED BY HONDA. IT HAS BECOME WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT IN RECENT WEEKS, AND HONDA WAS AGAIN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE COULD ONLY ADVISE TAKING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR SERVICE. WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A TRANSMISSION RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE UNAWARE OF THE STEP THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK TO TRY TO DIAGNOSE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM

INSTRUMENT PANELS AUTOMATICALLY ILLUMINATES DIMLY WHEN THE DOOR OPENS AND COMPLETELY BRIGHTEN UP ONCE THE KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE KEY HOLE. THIS AUTOMATIC FEATURE USUALLY CAUSES MOST OF THE DRIVER THAT I KNOW TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS OFF BUT THINKING THAT THE LIGHTS ARE ON BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS BRIGHTLY LIT. *JB

SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
I WAS DRIVING N/B 101. I PRESSED MY BRAKE TO AVOID A COLLISION CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO DECELERATE FROM 65 MPH TO 40 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN MY DAUGHTERS SEAT UN-LATCHING FROM THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND TILTING ALL THE WAY FORWARD, CAUSING MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S FACE TO BE SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY. I SAW THAT THE BACK LATCHES WERE IN THE POPPER PLACE ON THE FLOOR BUT WEREN'T LATCHING. I THEN TILTED THE SEAT UP AND PLACED IT DOWN HARD ABOUT 20 TIMES BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT LATCH. MY DAUGHTER WASN'T SERIOUSLY INJURED, SO AT THE PRESCHOOL ONE THE TEACHERS AND I READ THE MANUAL AND PULLED ON THE LATCH RELEASE SEVERAL TIMES AND TILTED THE SEAT FORWARD AND THEN BACK DOWN, BUT IT WOULD NOT LATCH. THEN ONE OF THE GRANDPARENTS OFFERED TO TRY AND HELP BUT STILL THE DEFECTIVE SEAT WOULDN'T WORK. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN SAN JOSE CA ON STEVENS CREEK BLVD, WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THEY IMMEDIATELY SAID IT WAS THE MIDDLE SEAT AND THAT I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE THEY GET THE COMPLAINT ALL THE TIME. I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND ACCIDENTALLY STOPPED OFF AT THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP NEXT DOOR. THE VOLVO SERVICE GUY TRY TO SEE IF HER COULD FIX & AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS SAID THE SEAT WAS DEFECTIVE. I THEN IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. ONCE SERVICE PERSON TRIED TO LATCH THE SEAT, COULD NOT, AND THEN CALLED ANOTHER SERVICE GUY WHO INITIALLY COULD NOT GET THE SEAT TO LATCH. HE THEN PLACED A PEN AROUND THE LATCHING MECHANISM AND PULLED ON THE RELEASE LEVER A FEW TIMES AND IT RESULTED IN THE SEAT LATCHING. HE TOLD ME THAT THE LATCH WAS STUCK IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION BUT THAT IT WAS FINE NOW. HE SAID IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AND THAT I COULD DO THE SAME THING HE DID TO FIX IT. THIS SEAT IS FAULTY AND I'M WORRIED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY. THIS SEAT ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES, AND SOMETIMES IT FAILS, GOING INTO AND REMAINING IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION, JUST BECAUSE I PRESS MY BRAKE. PLEASE HELP, I'M SCARED. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS ON A HIGHWAY DURING THE DAY. AIR CONDITION ON. CRUISE CONTROL OFF. I'VE BEEN DRIVING 45-60 MINUTES AT 60-70 MPH. ENGINE TEMP NEVER CHANGED. NO INDICATION THAT A FAILURE WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE VAN LOST SPEED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS STALLING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TRIED TO PUMP THE GAS PEDAL BUT NO POWER. I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND HAD TO PULL OVER THE SHOULDER. ENGINE WAS STILL ON AND I CAN STILL REV RPMS ON PARK. I WAITED A MIN OR TWO BEFORE I PUT IT INTO DRIVE BUT NOT ABLE TO GET POWER FROM THE ENGINE. I COULDN'T GET RPMS UP ON DRIVE. FASTEST I COULD GO WAS ABOUT 5 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE VAN KEPT JERKING BACK AND FORTH WHILE I TRIED TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER LOOKED AT THE CAR AFTER I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. HE LOADED THE VAN ONTO HIS FLAT BED AND WENT TO HIS SERVICE OFFICE TO PICK UP ANOTHER CAR THAT WAS AHEAD OF US. HE EVENTUALLY HAD TO TAKE THE VAN OFF THE BED TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER TOW TRUCK. FROM THE TIME THE MY VAN HAD THE MECHANICAL FAILURE TO THE POINT WHERE THE VAN WAS TAKEN OFF THE TRUCK TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER TOW TRUCK ABOUT 3 1/2 HOURS PASSED. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TOLD ME TO MOVE MY CAR CLOSER TO THEIR OFFICE ABOUT 20 YARDS AWAY SINCE MY VAN CAN STILL RUN. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE SEEMS DIFFERENT. I TESTED IT DRIVING UP AND DOWN ROAD AND IT'S AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE ENGINE. THE CHECK ENGINE WAS STILL ON BUT THE VAN WAS RUNNING FINE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE VAN TO A HONDA SERVICE CENTER THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE. ALL THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND OUT WAS THAT THERE WAS MULTIPLE MISFIRE CODES 71-1, 74-1, 75-1, 76-1 AND #1, #4, #5, #6 CYLINDERS. THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING TO REPAIR BECAUSE THE VAN CHECKED OUT OKAY EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH THEY RESET AND THE ERROR CODES THEY GOT FROM THE HONDA DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. *JB
