STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, VISIBILITY
I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODESSEY. I REQUESTED A MOON ROOF AS A HONDA OPTION. I WAS NOT TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT AN OPTION ON THE MODEL THAT I HAD SELECTED. I WAS GIVEN AN AFTER MARKET MOON ROOF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE AN OVER HEAD DVD PLAYER INSTALLED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE MAIN OVERHEAD BEAM WAS CUT TO INSTALL THE MOON ROOF AND THAT WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE BEAM WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE DVD PLAYER. I BEGAN TO QUESTION THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT WAS DONE TO INSTALL THE MOON ROOF AND I WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS AFTER MARKET. I ASKED THE DEALER AND HONDA TO CERTIFY THAT THE INSTALLATION WAS SAFE. THEY BOTH REFUSED. I HAVE SINCE EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN TURN OVER SITUATIONS. HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT THE INSTALLATION AND I WANT HONDA TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT HONDA BUT I WAS SOLD A HONDA VEHICLE WITH AN AFTER MARKET MOON ROOF. NOT ONLY THIS BUT I DON'T HAVE A HONDA WARRANTY ON THE MOONROOF. THE ONLY WARRANTY I HAVE IS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND I ALREADY HAVE 2 CHILDREN. THE MINIVAN IS A VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I DON'T THINK THE MINI VAN IS SAFE IN CASE OF A CRASH OR ROLL OVER. I SAY THIS BECAUSE IF THE BEAM IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD A DVD PLAYER THEN IN CASE OF A ROLL OVER OR CRASH THE ROOF WILL COME IN ON ME AND MY CHILDREN. *AK *BF *NM

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
WHILE EXITING OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN, MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER GOT HER FOOT CAUGHT IN THE MOTORIZED DOOR MECHANISM AS THE DOOR WAS OPENING. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS SOME TYPE OF SENSOR TO DETECT AN OBSTRUCTION WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSING BUT THERE IS NO SENSOR TO DETECT AN OBSTRUCTION WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENING. SHE HAD HER FOOT PINCHED IN THE MECHANISM ALONG THE DOOR SILL. HER FOOT WAS "SQUASHED". WE TOOK HER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE XRAYS DID NOT REVEAL ANY DAMAGE; HOWEVER, THE DOCTOR WHO EXAMINED HER SAID THAT PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY NOT BE DETECTED OR NOTICEABLE UNTIL SHE IS FULLY GROWN. WE CONTACTED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REPORT THE EVENT. WE ASKED THAT SOME SORT OF SENSOR BE INSTALLED IN FUTURE MODELS OR AT THE VERY LEAST A WARNING APPEAR SOMEWHERE IN THE CAR. WE ALSO ASKED THAT SOME SORT OF NOTIFICATION BE SENT TO ALL OWNERS OF THEIR VANS WITH MOTORIZED DOORS. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM HONDA SAID THAT HONDA WOULD NOT DO THAT. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH APPROX 55K MILES IS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. I'M NOT SURE THE EXACT CONDITIONS THAT BRINGS THIS ABOUT, AND CANNOT REPRODUCE IT AT WILL. BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN, WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE RPM SHOOTS UP REALLY HIGH BUT NO ACCELERATION OCCURS. I WOULD HAVE TO LET GO OF THE GAS AND SLOW DOWN UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AGAIN. THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHERS ARE REPORTING ON THIS WEBSITE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A HONDA SERVICE CENTER TODAY AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND WANTED ME TO TAKE IT BACK AND DRIVE IT UNTIL THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. I EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE REP. THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA BECAUSE I'M PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER AND WHO KNOWS IF THEY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AS IT IS SO INTERMITTENT AT THIS STAGE. THE SERVICE REP. ESCALATED ME TO HIS MANAGER AND HE WILL TEST MY VAN FURTHER TONIGHT AND WILL CALL ME TOMORROW. THE FACT THAT HONDA HAS NOT RECALLED THIS PROBLEM AND THE WAY THE PROBLEM IS BEING HANDLED BY HONDA MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES NOT ONLY FOR HONDA DRIVERS BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. *NM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE-TIME DEAL (FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED EARLY IN 2004)BECAUSE IT WOULD HAPPEN IN DIFFERENT AREAS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE MORE CONSISTENT NOW AT THE SAME SPOT. TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY (FOR ABOUT 7 MILES AT @65-70 MPH) AND THEN GETTING OFF AT THE EXIT, TURNING ONTO THE MAIN ROAD (THERE IS A YIELD SIGN SO ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN EXITING OFF RAMP TO MAIN ROAD). APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH (ON A FLAT STRAIGHT ROAD) AND SLOW ACCELERATION THE RPM WILL RAPIDLY RISE TO @4000 AND THE VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. WE HAVE TO EITHER LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WAIT FOR THE GEARS TO RE-ENGAGE OR LEAVE THE RPM AT 4000 AND THE GEAR WILL EVENTUALLY ENGAGE AGAIN. *NM

PASSENGER SEATBELTS LOCK-UP VERY EASILY AND THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE IS TO UNDUE THE BELT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE SEATBELTS SHOULD NOT BE UNDONE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING BUT THAT IS WHAT MUST BE DONE TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE THE BELT PUTS ON THE PASSENGERS.*AK
