POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HAVE A 2000 IMPORTED CANADIAN ODYSSEY EX. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON 54000 MILES, TOOK TO THE DEALER, GOT FIXED. FROM THE NEXT DAY THE ACCELERATOIN DROPPED AND STARTED HEARING NOISE/VIBRATION WHEN THE TRANS SHIFTS FROM 1 TO 2. CALLED AMERICAN HONDA, THEY SAID THEY CAN NOT DO, SINCE ITS A CANADIAN VEHICLE. CALLED CANADIAN HONDA, THEY SAID THE WARRANTY IS GOOD ONLY IF ITS WITHIN CANADA. HONDA WHICH IS SUCH A BIG COMPANY, SHOULD NOT PLAY SUCH CHEAP TACTICS WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. I AM STILL TRYING TO GET SOME ANSWER FROM HONDA.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AS OTHERS HAD NOTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSTIC REVEALS TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER CODES (AT 55,000 MILES). ROUGH SHIFTS AT HIGHER-THAN- NORMAL RPM'S AND SLUGGISH DURING ACCELERATION. INDEPENDENT GARAGE AND DEALER CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS. MENTIONED TO DEALER ABOUT PREVIOUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS HONDA'S TRANSMISSION WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 2000 AND 2001 MODEL YEARS. REBUILT TRANSMISSION ORDERED AND INSTALLED BY DEALER. ROAD TEST FINDS SLIPPING IN GEARS SO A 2ND ONE IS ORDERED AND INSTALLED BY DEALER. HONDA DID NOT CHARGE BUT SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 1999 MODELS IN THE FIRST PLACE. HOPE THE DUPLICATE COMPLAINTS ENTERED BY CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS DOES NOT DILUTE ODI'S DETERMINATION OR INVESTIGATION OF HOW WIDESPREAD THIS PROBLEM IS. *TT

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
HAD THE DOOR LATCH BREAK ON RIGHT SIDE AND WAS REPAIRED. THEN HAVE ON GOING ISSUES OF TRYING TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOORS. AT TIMES YOU COULD NOT OPEN EITHER SLIDER DOORS WITH OUT TRYING TO GET TO RELEASE BY PULLING ON IT WHICH YOU HAD TO OPEN THE OTHER DOOR AND EITHER TRY PULL IT OR PUSHING ON THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. HUSBAND CAME HOME THEN FORGOT HE HAD TO BE VERY GENTLE WITH DOOR OR THAT COULD NOT BELIEVE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN THEN BROKE THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR HANDLE OFF. NOW IT HAS NO HANDLE AT ALL. CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND SAID IT WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID. HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WHEN TO HAVE IT REPAIR SAID DOOR LATCH WOULD BE COVERED. THEN WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS A DESIGN FAULT (WELL KNOW) IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. SINCE THEN I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND IM THE PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD COVER THE LABOR COST AND NOT THE PART COST. AFTER REVIEWING HOW MANY TIMES SOME ONE HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO FILE IT HERE. CONCERN WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. AS IT STANDS NOT COMFORTABLE ABOUT THE FACT THE SIDE DOORS DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY, IF SOMETHING HAPPENED WERE MY CHILDREN WOULD HAVE TO EXIT THE VAN QUICKLY. DID CALL HONDA TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WAS TOLD IT MAY TAKE 3 DAYS. *NLM

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I BOUGHT A HONDA ODYSSEY IN SEPTEMBER 1999 AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATING A PROBLEM WITH THE LEFT SIDE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR. THIS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND TWICE AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD. THE PROBLEM RECURS SHORTLY AFTER EACH VISIT. NOW THE DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS WITHOUT ANY ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT RECUR. I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS AS WELL AND WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT. *JB
