SUSPENSION:FRONT
VEHICLE PULLS HARD TO RIGHT UNDER ACCELERATION. DEALER UNABLE TO FIX, AND AMERICAN HONDA DENIED PROBLEM EXISTED, CALLING IT A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. I PERSONALLY DROVE 7 OTHER 2002 ODYSSEYS AND DETERMINED THAT THIS "CHARACTERISTIC" IS NOT NORMAL. BBB ARBITRATION WAS USED, IN WHICH THE BBB RULED AGAINST HONDA. AMERICAN HONDA FIELD ENGINEER ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR TWICE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. IN LAST REPAIR, THE VAN WAS RETURNED TO CUSTOMER WITH CONSIDERABLE PULL TO THE LEFT UNDER STEADY SPEED, BUT HARD PULL TO RIGHT WHEN ACCELERATING. BBB RULING INDICATED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND I AGREE. QUERIES OF INTERNET WEBSITES FOR ODYSSEY OWNERS INDICATES THIS PROBLEM DOES EXIST ON OTHER VEHICLES. I EXPECT THE NHTSA TO FORCE HONDA TO DEAL HONESTLY WITH THIS ISSUE. DT

THIS IS A SERIOUS POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS UNABLE TO GET TO MY DAUGHTER AND GET HER OUT OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SLIDING SIDE DOORS STICKING. HAD THERE BEEN AN EMERGENCY, WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. HONDA LOOKED AT IT AND LUBED THE DOOR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS THIS COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH. DT

THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS HAD FAILED TO SHUT COMPLETELY WHICH CAUSED A BUZZER TO CONTINUOUSLY GO OFF AND THE CABIN LIGHTS TO STAY ON. (WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURED, THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SEE AS SHE DROVE DOWN A DIRT ROAD, AND ALMOST DROVE INTO A DTICH) THE CONSUMER HAD GOTTEN THE ENTIRE MECHANISM REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT IS SCARED THAT WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT, THE OTHER DOOR WILL FAIL AS WELL, AND FEELS THAT HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. *SCC
