STRUCTURE:BODY
THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS CONTINUE TO FAIL TO OPEN ELECTRONICALLY AND ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPEN IF THEY DO NOT OPEN ELECTRONICALLY. THIS CAN BE AN ISSUE FOR PASSENGERS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AS EVERYONE WOULD HAVE TO CLIMB OUT THE FRONT DOORS. THE DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED ELECTRONICALLY WHEN STATIONARY. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN MANUALLY, DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED A FEW INCHES.

SEAT BELTS, SEATS
NEED A RECALL TO BE ISSUED BY NHTSA OR PROPER GOV ORGANIZATION. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT TENSIONER AND THE BUCKLE WERE REPLACED AFTER THE SRS LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. NOW THE DRIVER-SIDE BUCKLE AND SEAT BELT TENSIONER IS CAUSING A PROBLEM AND SRS LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. HONDA IS USING DELAY TACTICS. WANT TO SCAN THE CAR FOR $100 TO RE-CONFIRM THE SAME PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS SCANNED IN THE PRIOR WEEK! SRS LIGHT STAYS ON AFTER ENGINE START (OBVIOUSLY STATIONARY)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CORROSION WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP WIRING CONNECTOR AND THE FUEL PUMP RETAINING NUT WAS CRACKED / BROKEN. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT WAS STALLING WHILE DRIVING, NO START CONDITION. TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE INDICATED THE FUEL PUMP WIRING CONNECTOR WAS FAULTY THE INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE CONNECTOR WAS CORRODED APPARENTLY FROM MOISTURE. THIS ISSUE IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING THE FAULTY CONNECTION CAN CAUSE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER -> LOSS OF POWER STEERING, AND THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP NUT CAN CAUSE GASOLINE FUMES TO ESCAPE CONTAINMENT WHICH MAY LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION / FIRE. IF THE CONNECTOR WAS JIGGLED THE FUEL PUMP WOULD INTERMITTENTLY OPERATE AND OR FAIL. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THE SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN # 04V42000 OR THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN #04-049, AND REFUSED TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT OFFERING THE OPTION TO REPAIR THE ISSUE OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL WHICH WOULD COST THE CUSTOMER $454.32 FOR THE FUEL PUMP REPAIR KIT IN ADDITION TO SERVICE FEES OF AT LEAST $374.00. THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY TOWED-IN AND PRESENTED FOR SERVICE ON JUNE OF 2018. THE HONDA DEALER IS PROVIDING WIRING HARNESS, RETAINING NUT AND GASKET AT A COST TO THE CUSTOMER.

ALMOST CAUSING NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS JUST STOPPING WHILE DRIVING.. NOW MY VAN HAS STAHLED AND THIS TIME IT WILL NOT RESTART.

POWER TRAIN
NHTSA RECALL 04V176000 DOES NOT INCLUDE OUR VIN, BUT IT SHOULD, BECAUSE THIS IS THE PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED WITH OUR VEHICLE 3 TIMES NOW. THE TRANSMISSION HAS OVERHEATED AND FAILED. AND ACCORDING TO 04V176000, TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING IS A SERIOUS HAZARD THAT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE!!! THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING ON A 2-LANE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT ON HWY 80 TOWARDS RENO. THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED, SHE WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT THE SAME PLACE I WAS, ON 41 NORTH. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS ON A MEDIUM TO LONG TRIP GOING UP AN INCLINE. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS AS WELL, SO MUCH THAT THERE IS A SITE DEDICATED TO THIS VERY PROBLEM -- ODYSSEYTRANSMISSION.COM. IF YOU VISIT THIS WEBSITE YOU CAN SEE THE DEFINITE DIFFERENCE IN PROPORTION OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE EARLIER GENERATIONS VS THE LATER. IT APPEARS THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES FLUID FLOW CONSTRICTION DURING TORQUE CONVERTER LOCK, WHICH RESULTS IN OVERHEATING. IN THE LAST INCIDENT, AS DESCRIBED BY MY WIFE, SHE WAS DRIVING UP 41, AND THE ENGINE WENT UP TO AROUND 4000 RPM. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND SHE SMELLED TRANSMISSION FLUID BURNING. SHE HAD TO WAIT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR A WHILE, AND THEN IT STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. SHE GOT IT TO A SAFER PLACE AND THEN LET IT COOL FOR LONGER. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO GO HOME, WHICH WAS A COUPLE MILES AWAY, AND WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. WE HAD THIS TRANSMISSION REBUILT BY SHAWS AUTO SALES 2 TIMES. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO. WE HAVE NOT DONE ANY ABNORMAL DRIVING, OR ANY TOWING, OR ANYTHING. JUST NORMAL DRIVING. SO WE EXPECTED THE FIX TO LAST LONGER THAN THIS. SOUND LIKE A REASONABLE EXPECTATION? WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT WE DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. BUT OTHERS MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY! THIS VIN AND OTHERS LIKE IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN 04V176000.

SEAT BELTS
I AM VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE TREATMENT I HAVE RECEIVED AS A HONDA OWNER. I OWN A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE SEATBELT RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING HONDAS MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE. CORPORATE MADE ME JUMP THROUGH HOOPS TO GATHER MY REGISTRATION INFORMATION FROM 2000! THEY SAID IF I COULD SHOW LOYALTY TO THE BRAND THEY WOULD FIX IT UNDER THE "GOOD WILL PROGRAM." THEY SAY THE CAR WAS WRECK BEFORE I BOUGHT IT AND THAT IS WHAT MESSED UP THE SEATBELT. HOWEVER, I PURCHASE THE CAR IN 2013. IT HAS BEEN WORKING FOR 5 YEARS AND THEN RANDOMLY GOES OUT BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT MORE THAN 5 YEARS AGO?! WHERE IS THE LOGIC?!!! WELL, SHOWING THAT I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A HONDA ACCORD WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR CORPORATE TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE, BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE IT SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP. I WAS LIVING IN BFE MISSISSIPPI AT THE TIME. HOW WAS THAT MY FAULT? THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ROCKWALL, TEXAS IS A JOKE. THEY DETERMINED THEY WEREN'T GOING TO FIX IT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT SEEMS HONDA SKIMPS OUT ON SEATBELTS. THIS IS WHERE THEY CUT COSTS. I HAD NEVER HAD A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH A HONDA UP UNTIL THIS POINT. THIS ISN'T FIXING SOMETHING THAT IS NO BIG DEAL: LIKE THE SPEAKER THAT FADES IN AND OUT OR THE LOCKS THAT DON'T ALWAYS UNLOCK TOGETHER. THIS IS MY LIFE THEY ARE PLAYING WITH! IT IS DISGUSTING! DO NOT BUY HONDA! I NEVER WILL AGAIN. TOYOTA WOULDN'T TREAT A LIFE LONG CUSTOMER LIKE THIS.
