SEAT BELTS
THE MIDDLE ROW SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVES SIDE HAS BROKEN/MALFUNCTIONED TWO TIMES IN UNDER TWO MONTHS!! IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP BOTH TIMES FOR REPAIR. MY 51/2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN THE SEAT BOTH TIMES WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. THE SEAT BELT LOSES TENSION (FEEDS ALL THE WAY OUT ONTO HER LAP) AND THEN LOCKS. WE ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT ON OUR OWN. EACH TIME WE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SEAT BELT. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AT 73522 MI. HONDA DEALER CHECKED ALL CONNECTIONS AND WIRING, ALSO TRIED RE-PROGRAMMING-THAT DID NOT WORK. DEALER SAID THAT AIR BAGS ARE INOPERATIVE, AND THAT A NEW SRS CONTROL UNIT IS NEEDED - AT COST OF OVER $700. THE COST IS PROHIBITIVE FOR US. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS SRS CONTROL UNITS ON ODYSSEYS. THIS INDICATES A MANUFACTURING DEFECT RENDERING KEY SAFETY SYSTEM INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAILURE OF KEY SAFETY COMPONENT DURING NORMAL USE--THE STATED REASON IS THAT "YOU STILL HAVE YOUR SAFETY BELTS." I BELIEVE THAT THE SRS CONTROL UNIT SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED WITHIN NORMAL LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, THE OWNER'S MANUAL SAYS THAT IT ONLY NEEDS TO BE CHECKED EVERY 10 YEARS. *NM

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR FAILS TO CLOSE COMPLETELY - SOMETIMES LEAVES APPROXIMATLEY A FOUR INCH GAP BETWEEN DOOR POST AND EDGE OF DOOR. DOOR MUST EITHER BE PUSHED CLOSED OR RE-OPENED COMPLETELY AND THEN CLOSED WITH PRESSURE ON REAR DOOR EDGE. OCCASIONALLY, DOOR WILL SEEM LOCKED (DASHBOARD OPEN DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT IS OFF) AND WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS, BOTH THE OPEN DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES AND CEILING MAP LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN TURN HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, I AM EXTREMLY CONCERNED THAT EITHER THE DOOR(S) WILL OPEN DURING DRIVING OR THE DOOR(S) WILL NOT OPEN DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I CANNOT BELIEVE HONDA WOULD SUBJECT ITSELF TO THIS TYPE OF POTENTIAL LIABILITY.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES
THE ACCELERATOR ON THE CAR BECAME STUCK AS I PROCEEDED ON A BUSY STREET GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. I TRIED TO STOP THE CAR AND WAS UNABLE TO. THE BRAKES ONLY SLOWED THE CAR DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR. AS A RESULT, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. FORTUNATELY, THAT DAY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY STOP THE CAR. THE HONDA DEALER FOUND THE ACCELERATOR CABLE STRETCHED, CAUSING ENGINE TO STAY ACCELERATING BECAUSE CABLE WAS GETTING CAUGHT UP IN CABLE SLEEVE. ACCELERATOR CABLE WAS REPLACED.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
I OWN A 2004 HONDA ODESSEY. I WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OPENING THE PASSENGER DOOR, WHICH IS AUTOMATIC. MY 2 YEAR-OLD LEANED AGAINST THE OUTSIDE OF THE VAN AGAINST THE REAR PANEL AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE AUTOMATIC REAR DOOR WAS OPENING. SHE BECAME LODGED BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE VAN. THE REVERSE MECHANISM ON THE DOOR DID NOT OPERATE (OR DOESN'T EXIST) AND I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL THE DOOR OFF HER AND DISLODGE HER FROM BETWEEN THE DOOR AND VAN. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO HONDA AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD 10 OTHER REPORTS THUS FAR. MY DAUGHTER DID NOT SUFFER A SERIOUS INJURY. HOWEVER, I FEEL THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SERIOUS INJURY TO A CHILD IN THIS MANNER. *AK
