AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
WIFE DRIVING HER HONDA ODYSSEY WAS HIT HEAD ON. SHE WAZS TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE OTHER CAR ABOUT 10 MPH. AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF IN A HEAD ON COLLISSION. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN ABOUT 5 TIMES TO GET THE AIR BAGS CHECKED OUT BECAUSE THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. TWICE THEY HAD TO REPLACE COMPONENTS OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. BASICALLY IN THE 2 1/2 YEARS WE HAD THE 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY, WE HAVE HAD TO BRING IT IN FOR AIR BAG SERVICE. THEY CLAIM (AND HAVE ADMITTED) THAT CELL PHONES CAUSE INTERFERENCE WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THEY SAID THAT SINCE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED, NO RECALL IS DONE YET. MY WIFE WAS HURT IN THE ACCIDENT AND I BELIEVE THAT IF THE AIR BAGS WENT OFF, SHE MAY HAVE BEEN LESS INJURED. A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS!*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2-YEAR OLD, 50,000 MILE, HONDA ODYSSEY WAS BROUGHT INTO THE SHOP FOR ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, INTERMITTENT TCS LIGHT ON, 'D' LIGHT BLINKING, SHIFTING PROBLEMS BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEAR, WHEREIN RPMS RUN HIGH. THE 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS RECALLED AT THE SAME TIME. THE DEALER PERFORMED RECALL AND DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL, AND STILL REQUIRES A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE A 75,000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH AUTOMOTIVE WARRANTY SERVICES, INC. (1-800-621-2130) THAT COVERS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR ANY REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED. THEY REFUSE TO LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL DETAILS OF THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH A HEAT BUILDUP AND 'BLUING'. THE WARRANTY SERVICE JUST SEES THE WORD 'TRANSMISSION', AND BELIEVES THAT IT IS HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. MEANWHILE, THE DEALER HAS DETERMINED THAT OUR VEHICLE DOES NOT SUFFER FROM THE HEAT BUILDUP PROBLEM, AND HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. SO, OUR CAR SITS AT LANDMARK HONDA, VIRGINIA WITH NEITHER PARTY WANTING TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT RECOURSE DOES THE CONSUMER HAVE? *AK

2002 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN WITH APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR OCCASIONALLY "REVS" (LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL) AS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS BETWEEN GEARS. DEALER TOLD US THAT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECENT RECALL AND THAT THAT RECALL WAS A "PREVENTATIVE" MEASURE IN ANY EVENT. WHEN WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN THEIR TESTS.*AK
