SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DRUM:WHEEL CYLINDERS
HONDA IDENTIFIES THAT DRUM BRAKES ON HONDA ODYSSEY ARE PROBLEMS. FOR OVER TWO YEARS, WE FOUGHT WITH DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND THEY ESSENTIALLY KEPT IGNORING COMPLAINTS OF LOUD SQUEELING (LIKE A SEMI-TRUCK) WHEN BRAKING. WE PAID FOR PADS AND THEY PAID FOR DRUMS IN FEB. AS OF SEPT., WE HAVE THE SAME CONDITION BACK WITH THE SQUEELING. HONDA HAS KEPT THIS PROBLEM SILENT AND WE NEED TO BRING THIS INTO THE SPOTLIGHT.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
IGNITION SWITCH FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL INTERMITTANTLY (VERY, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC!) AND MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO START (KEY HAD TO BE HELD BETWEEN ACC AND ON). SWITH DISASSEMBLY REVEALED MOLTEN PITTING ON ONE CONTACT. FILING CONTACTS RESTORED NORMAL OPERATION, BUT COPPER NOW LACKS SILVER PLATING, WHICH MAY ACCELERATE CORROSION. NEW SWITCH PURCHASED FROM DEALER FOR $60 AND DIY REPLACEMENT TOOK APPROX. 15 MINUTES TO INSTALL (TWO SCREWS AND SEVERAL HARNESS CLIPS). VEHIICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY HONDA RECALL FOR LATER (AND MECHANICALLY IDENTICAL) MODELS.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING FROM HIGH TO LOW GEAR WHEN IT'S ABOUT 34000 MILES. WE WERE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY FELT THE JOLTS AND THEN THE TCS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I HAD TO MAKE AN EXIT AND CALLED AAA FOR IT TO BE TOWED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BUT IT SEEMS THE SLIPPING IS HAPPENING AGAIN AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-55 MPH. HONDA SHOULD AT LEAST EXTEND THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY ON 02-03'S LIKE WHAT THEY DID ON THE 99-01'S.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE A WHINING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR. I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER AT 28,793 MILES - THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT NO CHARGE REBUILT TRANSMISSION SERIAL # [XXX]. AT 35,856 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTING TO WHINE AGAIN, THIS TIME IN 5TH GEAR - A DEALER MECHANIC RODE WITH ME AND VERIFIED THE NOISE AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN WITH SERIAL#[XXX]. A FEW MONTHS LATER MY NEIGHBOR HAD HER 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY LOCK UP AS SHE WAS DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A COUNTRY ROAD. THE FRONT TIRES STOPPED TURNING AND SHE CAME TO REST IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. SHE STARTED THE ENGINE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. SHE HAD ABOUT 64,000 MILES AT THE TIME - THE DEALER FINALLY GOT HONDA TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND FRONT TIRES AT NO COST! HER HONDA VIN# IS[XXX] SO YOU CAN CHECK THE TRANSMISSION SERIAL# AND FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TRANSMISSION. IN TALKING TO MY DEALER, HE TOLD ME THE SAME TRANSMISSION IS IN THE PILOT, ODYSSEY, AND V-6 ACCORD AND THE SIMILAR ACCURA MODELS WITH V-6 ENGINES. THIS MAKES THE PROBLEM WIDESPREAD!!! I AM ABOUT TO TAKE A 3,000 MILE TRIP AND CALLED HONDA'S AT 1-800-999-1009 TO TELL THEM ABOUT MY NEIGHBORS CAR - I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE NOT HAD A LOCK UP ON ANY CAR WITH MILEAGE UNDER 60,000 MILES - BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A FIRST TIME!!! I HAVE INSTRUCTED MY DAUGHTER TO CONTACT OUR ATTORNEY SHOULD WE HAVE A CRASH ON THE TRIP!!! THE GOVERNMENT MUST INVESTIGATE THIS HONDA/ACCURA TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. MY NEIGHBOR WAS LUCKY SHE WAS ON A LIGHTLY TRAVELED 2-LANE COUNTRY ROAD WITH HER TWO SONS.*AK UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
