ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WE OWN A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY, WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN JULY OF 2005. WE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT IN APRIL OF 2008. FIRST THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT, THEN THERE WAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM. WE HAD MANY OIL CHANGES AT THE DEALERSHIP AND FAITHFULLY CHANGED THE OIL WHEN THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR TOLD US TO. BUT THEN, IT WOULD DUMP TWO QUARTS OF OIL WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. FOR INSTANCE, ON MAY 23RD, 2010, WE HAD A OIL CHANGE AT THE HONDA DEALER WE HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, IN ANTICIPATION OF A 400 MILE TRIP. THE CAR STARTED ACTING UP ON OUR WAY THERE AND WE ENDED UP SPENDING THE MAJORITY OF JUNE 14TH SITTING IN A DEALERSHIP. WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND ALMOST MADE IT HOME BEFORE THE CAR STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. WE LIMPED INTO THE DRIVEWAY, BUT IT REQUIRED TOWING TO THE HONDA DEALER IN SANTA CRUZ, CA FOR MORE REPAIRS. THEY ACCUSED US OF NOT MAINTAINING THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS TWO QUARTS LOW, YET WE CHECKED THE OIL BEFORE IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS FULL IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS BECAUSE WE CHECKED THE OIL WHILE IT WAS OFF. IT WASN'T EVEN DRIVEN IN BETWEEN UNTIL THE DEALER DID DIAGNOSTIC ON IT. THEN THEY TOLD US ALL CARS NEED A VALUE ADJUSTMENT AT 80,000 MILES. WE HAVE SPOKEN REPEATEDLY WITH HONDA OF AMERICA AND HONDA CARE AND THEY HAVE REPEATEDLY ACTED SURPRISED WITH OUR PROBLEMS. THEY DENY THAT THEY KNOW OR SUSPECT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, YET A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS MANY PAGES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SEVERAL MODELS OF HONDA CARS WITH OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. *KB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2005 HONDA TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AT 60K MILES. SOME MOTOR MOUNTS WERE RUINED FROM THE SHAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FRONT AXLE HAS DAMAGE FROM THE SHAKING AS WELL. AND I STILL NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE GEARING GETS STUCK SHIFTING AROUND 45 MPH, IT GROANS AND SHAKES THE CAR BEFORE FINALLY SHIFTING DOWN A GEAR. *KB

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
THE CAR WAS MOVING @45 MPH. SUNNY DRY CONDITIONS TEMP 80 DEGREES. SUNROOF IS CLOSED, COVER IS OPEN, THE SUNROOF EXPLODES. NO OTHER WINDOWS ARE OPEN. GLASS FALLS INSIDE CABIN. DEALER NOTIFIED AND AGREES TO REPLACE. A REQUEST HAS BEEN MADE TO ESCALATE THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA AND NHTSA DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS WITH REAR PASSENGERS BEING HIT WITH FLYING GLASS DEBRIS. THE SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED WITH OTHER HONDA MODELS AND MODEL YEARS NAMELY 2010 CROSSTOUR, AND 2005 ODYSSEY. IT APPEARS THIS ISSUE CAN BE INACCURATELY FILED UNDER COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE POLICIES WHEREBY OWNERS AND DEALERS "SUSPECT" AN OBJECT STRIKE AS THE CAUSE. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. *KB

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, NOTICED THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM TIRES AND VIBRATION IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED A LARGE BULGE ON ONE OF THE TIRES AND THE BULGE WAS ON THE TREADS. THE TIRE STORE DESCRIBED THIS AS TIRE TREAD SEPARATION. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THREE MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. TWO OF THE FOUR TOYO VERSADO TIRES ON MY VEHICLE FAILED AS A RESULT OF TREAD SEPARATION. THE RETAIL STORE WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE TIRES GAVE ME A CREDIT TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF NEW TIRES. THEY KEPT THE FAILED TIRES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE POPPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE MOVING AT 50MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. UPON STOPPING ON SIDE OF ROAD AND SHIFTING FROM D TO PARK AND BACK TO D, THE VAN WAS ABLE TO MOVE FOR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS. AT 35MPH IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR AGAIN. DID SAME THING WITH TRANSMISSION AND WAS ABLE TO "LIMP" HOME AS LONG AS VEHICLE STAYED UNDER 30MPH. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALER AND FOUND OUT TRANSMISSION IS BAD. I HAVE A 7YR/105,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT IT EXPIRED LAST YEAR. I ONLY HAVE 103,000 MILES ON THE VAN. THE REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $4200. I HAVE COMPLETE AND TIMELY SERVICE RECORDS AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR THE LIFE OF THE VAN. *TR
