I SPOKE WITH ERIC AT HONDA RECALL AND CAMPAIGN DEPARTMENT--I TOLD HIM THAT MY CAR WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL. THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND IT HAS ROLLED ALREADY. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS ALREADY REPAIRED AND EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS THE REPAIR FAILED AND THE CAR IS STILL AT RISK--HE SAYS THAT HONDA MUST EVALUATE IT FIRST AND THEY MIGHT REPAIR IT. OR THEY MAY NOT.

I BELIEVE STRONGLY, IT HAS TO DO WITH MY IGNITION. MY ENGINE JUST QUITS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. ONE TIME IT QUIT ON ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGH WAY. AND MULTIPLE TIMES IT QUITS ON THE REGULAR DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SPUTTERING OR OTHERWISE INDICATING A PROBLEM ALL GAUGES AND ENGINE CUTS OUT, I CAN PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND USUALLY IT WILL RESTART AND GO, BUT LATELY NOT ALL THE TIME. IT MAY TAKE GETTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PUTTING IT IN PARK AND RESTART 3 OR 4 TIMES AND THEN STAY RUNNING AND NOT HAVE A PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS. WHEN IT DOES THIS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH WITH NO WARNING, THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR THE PERSON BEHIND ME. WHEN IT STOPS RUNNING AND I LOSE POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND COASTING TRYING TO RESTART WHILE IN NEUTRAL PRAYING I DON'T GET HIT FROM BEHIND AS I NAVIGATE DECELERATING CUTTING ACROSS TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. SCARY. CHANCES ARE MY AIRBAG WON'T WORK EITHER AT THIS CRITICAL TIME IF THE BRAKES FAIL TO STOP ME. ALL THE BUILT IN SAFETY FEATURES ARE NOT WORKING.

OUR 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS HAD THE P0740 TORQUE CLUTCH CONVERTER SOLENOID CIRCUIT (OPEN) CODE DISPLAYED NUMEROUS TIMES, WE THOUGHT SINCE IT WAS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WITHIN 20,000 MILES THAT WE SHOULD ACTUALLY TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IN MARYSVILLE, WA AND HAVE THEM DO A TRANSMISSION FLUSH THEN A SUPERVISOR AND SAID NO YOU SHOULD HAVE US RUN A DIAGNOSTIC BY ONE OF OUR MASTER TECHS. AFTER REITERATING THIS SERIOUSNESS OF OUR TRANSMISSION ISSUE THE CODE COMING ON AND DELAYS IN SHIFTING MOSTLY JUST BARELY NOTICEABLE, THEY ASSURED US IF WE PAID $129 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THAT A MASTER TECH COULD GET TO THE ISSUE, HOWEVER THEY LATER TOLD US AFTER WE GOT THE CAR BACK AND CALLED ON THE ISSUE THAT AN APPRENTICE (NOT A MASTER TECH) HAD DONE THE ENTIRE INSPECTION AND CAME UP WITH NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT A DIFFERENT CODE HAVING TO DO WITH UP BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE BEFORE AND TOLD US WE MAY NEED TO GET THAT REPLACED SOON. THE TRANSMISSION CODE P0740 CAME UP ON OUR WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD THEM OF THE CODE AND THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND ASKED WHAT ELSE TO DO AND THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE THAT IS A TRANSMISSION DEATH CODE AND WE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, TO WHICH I ASKED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST REPLACED 20,000 MILES AGO AND HE SAID MAYBE YOU GOT A BAD TRANSMISSION. Q: ARE THEY JUST ALL BAD FOR THIS VEHICHLE?

IN 2008 WE BOUGHT THIS VAN FROM THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN GRESHAM, OR. SHORTLY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WE FOUND OUT THAT OUR VAN WAS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED FOR SALE IN CANADA, AND IT WAS IMPORTED BACK IN 1999 WHEN THE VAN WAS NEW. THIS INFORMATION WAS NEVER DISCLOSED TO US THROUGHOUT THE SALE, AND WE ONLY FOUND OUT WHEN WE TRIED TO HAVE A SECOND KEY MADE AND THE HONDA DEALER SAID THAT THE VIN NUMBER DIDN'T EXIST IN THEIR SYSTEM. HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANY RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE IN THE USA OR CANADA. THIS HAS LED TO THE VEHICLE DYING MULTIPLE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEED DUE TO FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN REPLACED BACK IN 2002 WHEN IT WAS RECALLED IN BOTH CANADA, AND THE US.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON A CROWDED EXPRESSWAY WHEN MY CAR SEIZED UP COMPLETELY DUE TO A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH PUT ME IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH THREE LARGE SEMI TRAILER TRUCKS IN FRONT OF ME, IN BACK OF ME, AND TO THE RIGHT OF ME ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK BEHIND ME HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO BARELY SLOW DOWN BUT IT ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME. I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHER LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER OF A SLIGHTLY UPHILL EXIT RAMP, NARROWLY ESCAPING SERIOUS INJURY. I WAS THEN ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY MOVE THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR WITH THE FLASHERS GOING, AND FORTUNATELY WAS CLOSE TO A SIDE STREET WHERE I PARKED THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. ALTHOUGH HONDA REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION FOR FREE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BACK IN 2007, THE CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE FOR THE LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS SUDDEN AND LITERALLY SEIZED UP THE CAR AND PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER. THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO HONDA. I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT NOT ONLY TO GET SATISFACTION FROM HONDA, BUT ALSO TO WARN OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN TO THEM, AND LET THEM KNOW THIS IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. *TR

FIRST, I'M JUST GUESSING ON THE DATE OF PURCHASE MADE TO PALM BAY HONDA IN PALM BAY, FLORIDA APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES NORTH OF WHERE I LIVE. THERE IS SEVERAL RECALLS NOT TAKEN CARE OF. I AM OWED FROM HONDA REIMBURSEMENT FROM CARETENDER'S AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WORKING SHOP FOR DOING THE WIREHARNESS RECALL WHEN MY VEHICLE JUST STOPPED ALTOGETHER PLUS THE CAR RENTAL (AFTER I HAD BEEN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WITH THE RECALL TO BE DONE A WHILE BEFORE IT HAPPENED) OF WHICH LONG TIME AGO I WROTE CERTIFIED MAIL TO THE OWNER OF HONDA IN CALIFORNIA AND ALSO FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSIONERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.. TO THIS DATE, NO REFUND ISSUED TO ME. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE RECALLS LISTED BY YOU REGARDING LOCKS/LATCHES/ETC. OF WHICH I HAD PROBLEMS WITH SINCE THE VERY FIRST DAY I BOUGHT THE HONDA NEW IS THE REASON FOR APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE BEING BACK IN 1998 AND I'VE HAD ABOUT SEVEN DIFFERENT INVOICES FROM DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS SOME NOTED (NWD MEANING NO WORK DONE) WITH THE PROBLEMS STILL EXISTING TODAY. THE RECEIPTS MAY ALSO BE WITH YOU AND/OR THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSIONERS AND STILL UNRESOLVED TO THIS DATE. NOW, I JUST READ ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS ON YOUR RECALL LIST AND NOTHING HAS BEEN MAILED TO ME REGARDING THIS RECALL TO BE GIVEN TO HONDA TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. WHY HASN'T IT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE NEW ISSUES OF THE AIR BAGS EXPLODING, AS INDICATED THROUGH U. S. SENATOR BILL NELSON'S WEB PAGE, INVOLVES MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY! FINALLY, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND WHY DOES MY VIN NUMBER SHOW O RECALLS? *TR
