SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST
WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO REDUCE THE SPEED BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED ABRUPTLY. I APPLIED MORE AND MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. VEHICLE WAS NOT STOPPING ANY FASTER. I DID NOT PUMP THE BRAKES SINCE ODYSSEY HAS ABS AND THEY DID NOT KICK IN THOUGH I APPLIED A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. *AK I COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR FASTER.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
BOTH MANUAL REAR SLIDING DOORS HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO OPEN SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE IN 1999. DEALER GREASED BOTH DOORS EVERY TIME THE CAR WAS SERVICED, BUT PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE LATCHES ON BOTH DOORS HAVE BROKEN AND NOW THE DOORS MUST BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THIS POSSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE DOORS NEED TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN AN EMERGENCY. SLIDING REAR MANUAL DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD INDICATE ON THE DASH TO BE OPEN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN CORNERING OR HITTING BUMPS. OVERHEAD LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF AND CRACKLING SOUND FROM BELOW STEERING WOULD BE HEARD. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP ON SEPT. 10, 2003// OCT. 2, 2003// NOV. 3, 2003// AND JULY 26, 2004 WITH COMPLAINT ABOUT SRS LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. DEALER HAS INDICATED EVERYTHING FROM ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE TO PURSE SETTING IT OFF ON PASSENGER SEAT. REPLACED OPDS UNIT ON NOV. 3, 2003 VISIT. HOWEVER PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED AND AS OF TODAY--SEPT. 21, 2004 LIGHT IS BACK ON. ORIGINALLY DEALER STATED UNSURE IF AIRBAG IS OPERATIONAL DURING TIME LIGHT IS ON. INTERNET DISCUSSIONS SEEM TO INDICATE AIRBAG IS DYSFUNCTIONAL DURING TIME LIGHT IS ON...WHICH TOTALLY VOIDS PURPOSE OF SAFETY IN AN ACCIDENT! VERY FRUSTRATED AND NOW EVEN MORE SCARED OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH IN AN ACCIDENT! PLEASE MAKE HONDA ADDRESS AND FIX THIS ISSUE--WHEN I READ ALL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES WHICH ALSO ARE REPORTING SRS FAILURES, IT IS OBVIOUS THERE IS A SEVERE LIABILITY THAT EXISTS. I DON'T WANT TO BE--NOR DO I WANT MY CHILDREN TO BE--UNFORTUNATE STATISTICS THAT ULTIMATELY CAUSE HONDA TO TAKE NOTICE!!!!*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY
I OWN A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. MY PARTNER'S MOTHER WAS GETTING INTO THE BACK SEAT OF THE VAN LAST WEEK, AND GRABBED HOLD OF THE OVERHEAD HANDLE TO HELP HER UP (SHE'S 79 YEARS OLD), AND AS SHE STEPPED INTO THE VAN, THE HANDLE BROKE OFF THE CEILING, CAUSING HER TO FALL BACKWARDS ONTO HER BACK, ROLL BACKWARDS AND HIT HER HEAD ON THE ASPHALT. FORTUNATELY (MIRACULOUSLY), SHE DID NOT SUSTAIN ANY INJURY (EXCEPT BEING A LITTLE SORE THE NEXT DAY). THIS WOMAN IS NOT A LARGE WOMAN...SHE IS ONLY 4'10" AND DOES NOT WEIGH ALL THAT MUCH. MY CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY THAT THE BREAKING OF THIS PART COULD POSE. I AM A SAFETY PROFESSIONAL (EHS MANAGER FOR MANUFACTURING), AND AM QUITE ATUNED TO HAZARD AWARENESS. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL OR INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT TELLS YOU NOT TO USE THIS HANDLE TO HELP YOURSELF INTO THE VAN. IT APPEARS TO BE THERE FOR THAT PURPOSE. IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC ON THE OUTSIDE, AND EVIDENTLY (NOW THAT I CAN SEE WHERE IT BROKE) IT IS PLASTIC ALL THE WAY TO THE MOUNTING SCREWS. I WANTED TO REPORT THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HAZARD, SO THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE EITHER IN THE DESIGN, OR IN THE WARNING SYSTEM. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY SERIOUS INJURY (BROKEN HIP OR OTHER BONES, OR EVEN A HEAD INJURY). MY HONDA DEALER SIMPLY ORDERED A NEW PART TO BE INSTALLED. I CAN GUARANTEE THAT IF THERE WERE AN INJURY INVOLVED, THIS INCIDENT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A LAWSUIT. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO SUBMIT THIS COMPLAINT. CAROL TOPITZER MILFORD, CT. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
DAILY MY 2004 ODYSSEY WILL STALL. THE ENGINE WILL START, RUN FOR ONE SECOND, THEN SHUT OFF. THIS WILL OCCUR FOR ONE MINUTE TO ONE HOUR. IT FIRST OCCURED WHEN THE VAN HAD THREE HUNDRED MILES ON ITS ODOMETER. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES, BUT THEY TELL ME IT CANNOT BE FIXED UNLESS IT ACTS UP AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT I AM PRESSING ON THE FOOTFEET AND FLOODING THE VAN. LASTLY, THEY TOLD ME TO HOLD THE KEY TWO SECONDS AFTER THE VAN STARTS-EVEN THOUGH THIS WILL WEAR OUT THE STARTER. NO DEATHS OR INJURIES HAVE OCCURED DUE TO THIS, JUST A RUINED VACATION AND MANY TIMES OF BEING STRANDED WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT START. IT HAS NEVER BEEN EXAMINED BY ANYONE AT A DEALERSHIP-THE SERVICE ADVISER WOULD ALWAYS SEND ME AWAY WITHOUT HAVING A TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT. *AK
