AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MVA OCCURRED 1/16/2015 - IMPACT LEFT FRONT QUARTER. HAD TROUBLE OPENING DRIVER'S DOOR. STEERING COLUMN AIRBAG DEPLOYED. HOWEVER, DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY RESULTING IN HEAD TRAUMA AS DRIVER'S HEAD HIT THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. IMPACT SHOULD HAVE SET OFF SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG SENSORS. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED & SOLD BY INSURANCE COMPANY WITHOUT DEALER INSPECTION OF PROBLEM. I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT IT HAD IT NOT BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY ARTICLE ABOUT RECENT HONDA AIRBAG RECALLS. I BELIEVE THAT THESE INCIDENTS ARE UNDER REPORTED AND THAT THERE ARE MORE "FAILURE TO DEPLOY" THAN THOSE LISTED UNDER COMPLAINTS. PLEASE CONTACT FOR POLICE REPORT....UPDATED 02/11/15 *BF

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING IN LIGHT RAIN, MY STEERING COMPLETELY FROZE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN TO CROSS AN INTERSECTION AND COULD NOT STEER AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. I SPOKE WITH HONDA INTERNATIONAL AFTER HEARING FROM THE LOCAL DEALER THEY HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. SO MUCH SO, THAT A MECHANIC FROM THE SHOP WAS FIXING CLIENTS CARS ON THE SIDE. HE STARTED INSTALLING SOME SORT OF SPLASH GUARD AFTER IT HAPPENED TO HIS WIFE'S ODYSSEY. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA INTERNATIONAL, NOT TO DRIVE WHEN THE ROAD IS WET. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
WHILE PICKING UP MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM THE DEALERSHIP {DUE TO A REPAIR FROM A RECALL} I'M INFORMED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MY "MOTOR MOUNTS"'. MY VAN IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AT THIS POINT AND THIS WILL COST ~ OVER $1,000.00! *TR THIS CAUSES LAG UPON ACCELERATION AND VIBRATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS {AND WILL BE MUCH WORSE WHEN ALL 3 MOUNTS FAIL}. WHY IS HONDA PLACING SUCH SUBSTANDARD PARTS IN ITS VEHICLES? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WENT UP IN FLAME, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ON 10/11/14. INSURANCE HAD ME TOW IT TO THE HONDA DEALER. AFTER HONDA HAVING THE CAR FOR 31 DAYS THE INSURANCE PAID THE REPAIRS & I PAID MY $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I'M READY TO DRIVE MY HONDA ODYSSEY AWAY ON 11/13/14, AND I NOTICE THE VAN BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE RPM'S DROPPED TO ALMOST 0. NO REPORT WAS GIVEN TO ME ABOUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH VAN & WHAT FUTURE REPAIRS HAD TO BE DONE. ALL I GOT WAS THE PRESENT REPAIRS DUE TO THE FIRE, EVEN AFTER WE HAD ASKED THEM TO DO A FULL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE FIRE THE VAN NEVER SHOOK, IT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. WHILE THERE, THEY PERFORMED THE CHANGING OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED BY HONDA, BUT NOW WE CAN NOT BE SURE THAT IT WAS DONE NOR CAN WE BE SURE THAT IT DIDN'T AFFECT THE CARS STATUS NOW. HONDA STILL HAS THE VAN IN THEIR LOT & INSURANCE ADJUSTER WENT TO SEE THE CAR AND NOW HONDA IS SAYING THAT THE SHAKING OF THE CAR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S FINAL REPORT THE "PROBABLE" CAUSE OF FIRE WAS IN THE ALTERNATOR AREA -SUB-CORD ALTERNATOR TO FUSE BOX. HONDA SAID THE SHAKE IS CAUSED BY THE RUBBER MOTOR MOUNTS. I TRIED TO TELL HONDA THEY ARE RUBBER PIECES AND WHEN RUBBER COMES IN CONTACT WITH HEAT IT MELTS. HONDA WILL NOT FIX WITHOUT ME PAYING OUT OF POCKET. IF THE PROBLEM REALLY IS THE MOTOR MOUNTS, I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE AWAITING A RECALL FROM HONDA ON THE MOTOR MOUNTS FOR THE FACT THAT THEIRS PREMATURELY FAILS. HONDA HAS US ON A BACK AND FOURTH. IF THEY CAN'T BE SURE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AND ARE DISREGARDING THE MOTOR MOUNTS GOING BAD DUE TO THE FIRE OR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL, THEN HOW CAN THEY BE SURE THAT NONE OF THE ABOVE IS NOT CAUSING THE VIOLENT SHAKE ON THE VAN. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING FAILED AT CAR PARK, DIFFICULTY STEERING THE VAN OUT OF PARKING SPOT,POWER STEERING RESUMED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED. PROBLEM RECURRED MULTIPLE TIME USUALLY FROM STARTING THE VAN AND STEERING IT OUT OF PARKING SPOT. HONDA FOUND THE POWER STEERING PUMP TO BE FAULTY AND REPLACED IT WITH ME FOOTING THE BILL OF $687.13,AS THE VAN WAS JUST OUT OF THE SEVEN YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY. SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS NOTED WHEN THE VAN WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD BUT HONDA COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THEIR CENTER....THEY NEVER MADE A NOTE OF THIS IN THEIR RECORDS! *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY ABOUT 60,000 MILES NOW. VSA LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. DEALER SAID VSA MODULATOR BAD AND NEED $1400 TO FIX IT. BRAKING IS VERY SOFT AND NEED TO PRESS PEDAL AT LEAST 200-300 FEET AWAY BEFORE RED LIGHT TO ENSUE THE FULL STOP. FEEL DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING HIGHSPEED ON HWY/FWY. I RESEARCHED AND LEARNED THE VSA MALFUNCTION MIGHT CAUSE SUDDEN BRAKE DURING DRIVING. WHAT WILL THAT BE IF CAR AUTO-BRAKED WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY? *TR
