I AM FAMILIAR WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO DEMAND A RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES. THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT ARE MISLEADING CONSUMERS BY DENYING ANY KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH ISSUES.THIS IS A BLATANT MISREPRESENTATION OF THE TRUTH, AND THE MANUFACTURER ALONG WITH THE DEALERS ARE DECEIVING OWNERS ABOUT THE TRANS. PROBLEMS. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AND THE CAR JUST DIED! AND WOULD NOT RE-START FOUND THAT VAN WOULD STAY RUNNING IF KEY WAS TURNED TO THE RUN POSITION AND HELD THERE ONCE YOU LET GO OF THE KEY THE CAR WOULD DIE, THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS THERE ARE MILLIONS OF HONDA'S OUT THERE THAT MAY POSSIBLE HAVE A FAULTY SWITCH AND THE CAR WILL DIE WITH NO WARNING VERY DANGEROUS!!!*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
CONSUMER HAS EXPERIENCED, WHAT HE FEELS ARE, DANGER IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH IGNITION SAFETY PROBLEMS. DEALER (GERALD JONE HONDA) REFUSED TO REPAIR, WHEN CONSUMER TOLD THEM THAT THERE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER IS EXPECTING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR NOT ONLY THE AMOUNT THEY PAID TO GET VEHICLE REPAIRED, BUT ALSO FOR THE MAILING OF THE DEFECTIVE PART, THE TWO DAYS THEY WERE WITHOUT THE VEHICLE WHEN DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THE REFUSAL TO REPAIR THE IGNITION SWITCH. (THE OWNERS MANUAL STATED THAT THIS WAS ANDIS A WARRANTY ITEM) CONSUMER THEN DECIDED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. HONDA SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. CONSUMER THEN HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THEIR MECHANIC (MANNYS) AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND THE VEHICLE HAS NOT CUT OFF YET. CONSUMER EXPECTS HONDA TO REFUND THE FULL AMOUNT PAID TO MANNYS FOR THE WARRANTY PART. *SCC

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
WHILE DRIVING THROUGH BATON ROUGE ENROUTE TO NEW ORLEANS, THERE WAS A MAJOR EXPLODING SOUND AND MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED IN MY LAP. WE WERE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THERE WERE NO CARS IMMEDIATELY IN FRONT OF OR ON THE SIDE OF OUR CAR. WE DID NOT SEE ANY FLYING DEPREE OR ROCKS. A TRUCK DRIVER WHO WAS BEHIND US DID NOT SEE ANY ROCKS OR ANYTHING EITHER , HE WAS AS SHOCKED AS WE WERE. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS IF HONDA HAS REPLACED MANY SIDE WINDOWS AND IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. I KNOW IF A ROCK HITS A WINDOW, IT USUALLY SHATTERS IN PLACE, BUT THIS WINDOW EXPLODED IN MY FACE AND LAP.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
MY WIFE WAS BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP AT THE PRESTON-LEGACY LIGHTS. IT WAS NOT A HARD EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT A QUICKER STOP DUE TO TRAFFIC AHEAD. OUR 4 YR OLD WAS RIDING IN THE FRONT FACING CAR SEAT IN THE REAR SEAT (SECOND ROW) PROPERLY ANCHORED WITH THE LAP AND SHOULDER 3 POINT BELT AS WELL AS HIS CARSEAT HARNESSES. HOWEVER, WHEN MY WIFE BRAKED, THE SEAT BELT BECAME UNLATCHED AND THE CAR SEAT FELL BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WITH MY SON STILL ANCHORED. THE SEAT BELT FULLY RETRACTED AT THAT TIME. AS A RESULT OF THE FALL, MY SON RECEIVED TWO DEEP LACERATIONS BEHIND HIS LOWER LIP FROM HIS TEETH. THE DOCTOR ADVISED WATCHING HIM FOR 24HRS FOR SIGNS OF HEAD INJURY. WE WERE INCREDIBLY LUCKY THAT HE ESCAPED WITHOUT SERIOUS INJURY. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED IN A ACCIDENT SITUATION AND THE AM UNSURE ABOUT THE SECURITY OF THE OTHER BELTS IN THIS 1 MONTH OLD VAN. MY WIFE IS SURE ABOUT THE BELT BEING LATCHED CORRECTLY SINCE SHE DRIVES TO WORK WITHOUT THE CHILD IN THE SEAT. ANY BRAKING OR TURNS WOULD HAVE TOPPLED THE SEAT DURING HER COMMUTE SINCE IT IS QUITE LIGHTWEIGHT. WE CALLED THE HONDA MOTOR COMPANY BUT THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON THE WEEKEND. I WILL BE TAKING THE VAN TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION TOO. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WHEN THE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CLOSES IT WILL NOT LATCH SECURELY. YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO LATCH. SEVERAL 2000 ODYSSEYS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SYMTOM, HOWEVER, MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT MAKE A GOODWILL REPAIR. A CASE HAS BEEN OPENED WITH HONDA BUT THEY STATE IF THEY APPROVE REIMBURSMENT FOR REPAIR IT WILL ONLY BE PARTIAL.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
PASSENGER SIDE SLIDER PERIODICALLY STICKS, SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO OPEN, SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE. WORSE IN COLD WEATHER. SOMETIMES WILL UN-LATCH PARTIALLY, CAUSING DOOR AJAR LIGHT TO COME ON. DEALER HAS FIXED THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES BY LUBRICATING THE SEALS, GIVING A TEMPORARY FIX. IN FREEZING WEATHER NEITHER SLIDER WILL OPEN. AT ONE POINT BOTH DOORS DEVELOPED DENTS FROM THE INSIDE OUT, THAT THE DEALER REPAIRED AS A WARRENTY SERVICE. NOW SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS TOLD ME THAT LUBRICATING THE SEALS WILL HAVE TO BE A REGULAR SERVICE, WHICH I FIND UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE CAR WHO COULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE. WE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER DOOR LOCKS THAT THE DEALER FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. (CAR IS LX MODEL, MANUAL SLIDING DOORS)
