STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
I BOUGHT MY 1999 ODYESSE IN MARCH OF 2004. I TOOK MY VAN TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHY MY DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS NOT CLOSING COMPLETLY. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE LATCHES AND HINGES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TOTALLING $420. THEY CHECKED MY WARRANTY AND THOSE PARTS WERE NOT COVERED. I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T HAVE $420, TO REPAIR THE DOOR. ONE WEEK LATER THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR STOPPED CLOSING ALL THE WAY. I LOOKED UP THE 1999 ODYESSE TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS AND THERE ARE PLENTY, BUT WHEN I SPOKE WITH AMERICA HONDA THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER HAD NO RECALLS. THEN I SPOKE WITH THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY RECALL FOR MY VIN WAS FOR THE TRANSMISSION. SO, I BELIEVE THERE IS A LOT BEING COVERED UP. I HAVE FOUR SMALL CHILDREN THAT ARE RIDE IN THIS VAN EVERYDAY AND FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THIS WEB-SITE MY CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE WITH DOORS THAT CAN JUST COME OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DURING ACCELERATION ONTO I-65 SOUTH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING RESULTING IN NO POWER BEING APPLIED TO THE DRIVE WHEELS. THIS INCIDENT REPEATED ITSELF NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE MOST SERIOUS BEING AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, NO POWER BEING TRANSMITTED TO THE DRIVE WHEELS FOR ALMOST A TWO MINUTE PERIOD OF TIME. MANUAL ENGAGEMENT USING THE SHIFT LEVER WAS TRIED WITHOUT SUCCESS. DURING THIS TWO MINUTE PERIOD OF TIME, THE ENGINE RAN TO 5,000 RPM WITHOUT GAS PEDAL INPUT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TCS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED LIGHTED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. AFTER STARTING THE NEXT MORNING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ILLUMINATED BUT THE TCS LIGHT WAS EXTINGUISHED. DURING THE ENSUING DRIVE BACK TO OUR HOME (5 HOURS) THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP AT EVERY STOP MADE. USE OF DOWNSHIFT FOR PASSING VEHICLES WAS NOT POSSIBLE AS WHEN A DOWNSHIFT WAS ATTEMPTED, THE TRANSMISSION IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SLIPPING WITH RESULTING POWER LOSS. DURING A STOP WHERE USE OF REVERSE GEARS WAS REQUIRED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T ENGAGE FOR ALMOST 4 MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN A LONG-STANDING PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SEEMED SLOW TO SHIFT AND WOULD JOLT WHEN SHIFTING WAS ACCOMPLISHED. THE DEALERSHIP TERMED THIS "HESITATION" AND REPEATEDLY COULD NOT FIND A DEFECT OR ISOLATE THE PROBLEM DURING INSPECTION AND ROAD TESTS. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT GARY SMITH HONDA IN FORT WALTON BEACH, FL. IT WAS PRESENTED FOR SERVICE ON MONDAY, JUL 26. THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO ISOLATE THE MALFUNCTION AND DETERMINE CORRECTIVE ACTION.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
POWER DOORS CONSISTENTLY FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING AND, OFTEN, CANNOT BE SHUT MANUALLY. THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP, 2 DAYS AGO, THEY INFORMED US THEY WOULD REPLACE SOME OF THE DOOR PARTS. DESPITE 'FIXING' THE PROBLEM, THE DOOR WILL NOT SHUT AT ALL AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSORS SO IT NO LONGER BUZZES WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM. VAN HAS BEEN IN 12X FOR THIS PROBLEM. DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OFTEN DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL. *AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT
THE STRUTS OR HATCH PISTONS FAILED ON OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE HATCH WEIGHING WELL OVER 100 POUNDS CAME DOWN ON MY HEAD FULL FORCE. THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. SERIOUS INJURY WILL OCCUR WITH HEAD AND NECK INJURY AND IF A SMALLER CHILD IN THE PATH MAYBE WORSE. HONDA IS CHARGING US TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THIS BE A SUBJECT FOR A RECALL. THEY SHOULD NOT FAIL AFTER TWO YEARS. *JB
