SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
I JUST PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY ABOUT A MONTH AGO, IT CURRENTLY HAS 500 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK, THE ABS, VSA, AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT TOWED INTO THE KOONS HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MANASSAS FOR REPAIR. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE VSA CONTROL UNIT WAS BAD, HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE THE PART IS ON INDEFINITE BACKORDER FROM HONDA. THEY STATED THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA IF THE PART WOULD TAKE DAY, WEEKS, OR MONTHS TO GET IN. THE DID STATE THAT MY CAR WAS 'SAFE' TO DRIVE, HOWEVER IT WOULD NOT HAVE ABS, VSA, BRAKING ASSIST, OR TRACTION CONTROL UNTIL THE VSA MODULE IS REPLACED. THIS DOES NOT REFLECT 'SAFE' IN MY EYES, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE WEATHER WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE TOMORROW. COULD THIS NOT POSE SOME TYPE OF LIABILITY ISSUE FOR HONDA IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN PREVENTED IF THE SAFETY FEATURES WERE ACTIVE. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THERE WAS ANY PROBLEMS GETTING NEW ODYSSEYS FOR SALE AND THEY SAID 'NO', THAT THEY HAD A REGULAR FLOW OF THEM COMING IN. SO HONDA, OBVIOUSLY PRIORITIZES THAT THE VSA CONTROL UNITS ARE FIRST SLATED FOR NEW VEHICLES, AND HAS NOT ALLOCATED ENOUGH FOR POSSIBLE ISSUES ON SOLD VEHICLES. I HAVE CONTACT HONDA THROUGH THERE 1-800 NUMBER AND THE CASE HAS BEEN ESCALATED TO A CALL MANAGER THAT I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM. *AK

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, VISIBILITY
I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODESSEY. I REQUESTED A MOON ROOF AS A HONDA OPTION. I WAS NOT TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT AN OPTION ON THE MODEL THAT I HAD SELECTED. I WAS GIVEN AN AFTER MARKET MOON ROOF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE AN OVER HEAD DVD PLAYER INSTALLED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE MAIN OVERHEAD BEAM WAS CUT TO INSTALL THE MOON ROOF AND THAT WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE BEAM WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE DVD PLAYER. I BEGAN TO QUESTION THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT WAS DONE TO INSTALL THE MOON ROOF AND I WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS AFTER MARKET. I ASKED THE DEALER AND HONDA TO CERTIFY THAT THE INSTALLATION WAS SAFE. THEY BOTH REFUSED. I HAVE SINCE EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN TURN OVER SITUATIONS. HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT THE INSTALLATION AND I WANT HONDA TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT HONDA BUT I WAS SOLD A HONDA VEHICLE WITH AN AFTER MARKET MOON ROOF. NOT ONLY THIS BUT I DON'T HAVE A HONDA WARRANTY ON THE MOONROOF. THE ONLY WARRANTY I HAVE IS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND I ALREADY HAVE 2 CHILDREN. THE MINIVAN IS A VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I DON'T THINK THE MINI VAN IS SAFE IN CASE OF A CRASH OR ROLL OVER. I SAY THIS BECAUSE IF THE BEAM IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD A DVD PLAYER THEN IN CASE OF A ROLL OVER OR CRASH THE ROOF WILL COME IN ON ME AND MY CHILDREN. *AK *BF *NM
