FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
MY VAN CONTINUES TO STALL. THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS REPLACED IN LATE SEPTEMBER, BUT THE VAN CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WILL START, RUN FOR 1-3 SECONDS, AND SHUT DOWN. IT WILL TAKE ANYWHERE FROM ONE TRY ONE HOUR WORTH OF TRIES TO GET IT TO START UP AGAIN. THE VAN HAS LEFT MY FAMILY STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER, AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I DON'T BELIEVE A VEHICLE WITH 7000 MILES NORMALLY DOES NOT START, AND CAN TAKE UP TO ONE HOUR TO START. THEY ALSO HAVE TOLD ME THAT I AM FLOODING THE VEHICLE-EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT TOUCHING THE FOOTFEET AND HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN A FUEL INJECTED VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TO THE POINT THAT WE DO NOT EVEN WANT THE VEHICLE, BUT OUR DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY. I READ A COMPLAINT THAT A CUSTOMER FILED STATING METAL WAS SENT THROUGHOUT HER VEHICLES FUEL LINES. HOW CAN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK TO SEE IF THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUALLY TELLS ME THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNLESS THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS YET TO HAPPEN. I AM VERY TIRED OF BEING STRANDED BY MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS LURCHED AND LOSS FORWARD POWER/MOTION FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY AT SPEED BETWEEN 40-60 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING THE FIRST 7500 MILES. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON DURING THESE EVENTS. I HAVE CHECKED RECALLS AND OTHER OWNERS AND FOUND SIMILAR COMMENTS. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF PASSING OR ADDITIONAL POWER IS NEEDED WHILE DRIVING UP INCLINE. HAVE HAD FUEL PUMP RECALL ITEM CORRECTED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE! *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY EX THAT I BOUGHT IN AUG. 2003 FROM AUTO WAY HONDA, CLEARWATER, FLORIDA. THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL EARLY THIS YEAR TO INSTALL A TRANSMISSION JET KIT. OCTOBER 2004, STARTED THE CAR UP BUT THE GEAR LIGHTS WOULD NOT LIGHT UP, THE SHIFTER WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN BUT NO GEAR WOULD ENGAGE. SOMEONE SUGGESTED AT WORK THAT ROCKING THE CAR WOULD WORK AND IT DID. I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT UNTILL 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO TAMPA HONDA LAND, TAMPA FLORIDA. AFTER A WHOLE DAY AT THE DEALORSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT EVEYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD NO RECOURSE BUT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK. I AM AFRAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION MIGHT LOCK UP OR FAIL WHILE THE VAHICLE IS MOVING, WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS IN IT. THERE ARE NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR ANY INFO. AVAILABLE FROM HONDA ON THIS ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE DEALORSHIP. IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS I AM AFRAID I WILL HAVE TO LEMON THIS VEHICLE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY 2002 OWNERS, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD POP OUT OF 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AND INTO NEUTRAL. ENGINE WOULD REV UP WHEN GIVEN GAS BUT WITH ZERO ACCELERATION. ABOUT 6 TIMES THIS HAPPENED OVER A 2 MONTH PERIOD. BY MANUALLY SWITCHING TO A LOW GEAR AND THEN BACK INTO AUTOMATIC DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVED PROPERLY. A FEW DAYS AGO THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT LIT UP, AS WELL AS THE MAINTENANCE LIGHT. WE TOOK INTO DEALER AND WERE TOLD AN ERROR CODE OF P0730, INCORRECT GEAR RATIO, WAS BEING REPORTED BY THE VEHICLE'S DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUITRY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE. DEALER SAID A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED, FOR SOME $4,500. AFTER COMPLAINING THAT IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR A 2-YEAR OLD CAR'S TRANSMISSION TO FAIL, EVEN IF OUR MILEAGE WAS OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, DEALER CALLED HONDA AND OFFERED US A RECONSTRUCTED TRANSMISSION IF WE WOULD PAY $1,028 FOR THE LABOR ONLY. WE ACCEPTED BEFORE READING ALL THESE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE ONBOARD COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED, SINCE THAT IS ALWAYS DONE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS REPLACED. A RECONSTRUCTED TRANSMISSION, WAS EXPLAINED TO US, IS REPLACING ALL INTERNAL MECHANISMS OF THE TRANSMISSION BUT KEEPING THE SAME EXTERIOR CASING WE HAD. WE WERE TOLD THIS WAS UNRELATED TO THE 2ND GEAR OVERHEATING PROBLEM. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO THE DEALER AND HONDA FOR LOWERING OUR REPAIR COSTS, BUT NOW FEEL THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF IT. THEREFORE WE WILL ASK HONDA FOR OUR $1,028 BACK BEFORE PURSUING THE MATTER LEGALLY. *JB
