AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
1) I HAVE OCCASIONAL "CHECK AIRBAGS" MESSAGE POPPING UP ON THE DASHBOARD, WHICH DISAPPEAR AFTER TURNING OFF/BACK ON. IT MAY HAPPEN WHILE I AM RIDING OR WHEN SETTING THE GEAR TO PARK AND UNPLUGGING THE SEATBELT. CONSUMER REPORTS SHOWS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL DECLARED ON AIRBAGS BACK ON AUGUST 1, 2005 SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON MAY, 2005. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON AIRBAGS. I WOULD STILL DRIVE THIS CAR AND BY THAT REASON DECIDED CONTACT NHTDS. 2) RUST ON THE BODY OF THE CAR ABOVE THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL IS GETTING DEEPER. I HAVE SEEN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT RUSTED ON OTHER ODYSSEYS MADE IN 2005 OR LATER, WHEN DRIVING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELING ON CITY STREETS FOR 2 HOURS AND 1 HOUR HIGH WAY DRIVING, DURING THE MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT 6/21/18 AND 6/22/18, THE INSIDE CABIN OF THE VAN FILLED WITH A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASEOUS FUMES. THE OVERWHELMING FUMES LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS ON BOTH DAYS. ALSO LEAVING FUMES IN THE CAR OVERNIGHT WHICH WERE DETECTED AS WE ENTERED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY AROUND 9:30 A.M. I TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA AUTO NATION IN LAS VEGAS AT 10:45 AM. ON 6/23/18. AFTER TWO HOURS THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I WAS ADAMANT IN REFUSING TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM AND THAT MY FAMILIES LIFE WAS NOT IN DANGER. I WAS TAKEN TO TWO OF THE DEALERSHIP'S MANAGERS AND WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE INSIDE OF THE CAR TO FILL UP WITH FUMES ON HOT DAYS AND THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT SINCE THE CAR FILTERS THE FUMES TO THE FRONT ENGINE AND THEN INTO THE VEHICLES CABIN. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A GOVERNMENT REGULATION THAT FUMES NOT BE TRANSMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT BUT RATHER TO THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, BUT FIRST THROUGH FILTERS. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE IN MY 30 YEARS OF DRIVING NEW VEHICLES. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY VIEWED INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A HONDA CRV LAWSUIT FOR THEIR 2015-2017 VEHICLES PERTAINING SPECIFICALLY TO GASEOUS FUMES FROM GASOLINE. I AM TERRIFIED TO USE THIS VEHICLE. NOT ONLY DID WE HAVE TO ENDURE THE FUMES FOR HOURS, BUT I AM WORRIED THAT OUR SAFETY IS AT STAKE DUE TO AN EXPLOSION AND OR ASPHYXIATION.

PUSH BUTTON SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IS PROBLEMATIC. IF THE DRIVE BUTTON IS NOT PRESSED FIRMLY ENOUGH THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN REVERSE, BUT THE DRIVER THINKS THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE. IF THERE IS A PERSON BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND THE OPERATOR PRESSES THE THROTTLE THEN A POSSIBLY DEADLY ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR. WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE THERE IS AN AUDIO NOTIFICATION (A CHIME SOUND) THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. THE IS NO SIMILAR NOTIFICATION WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING FLAW.

STEERING
WHEN STARTING OR PARKING CAR P/S DOES NOT WORK. ALSO LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING. HAD PRESSURE HOSE CHANGED. SITUATION GETTING WORSE AND IS BECOMING DANGEROUS. FROM MU MECHANIC AND THE INTERNET LEARNED THAT HONDA HAD SILENT RECALL BUT WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND THAT RECALL WAS UP TO 100K. THIS IS A SAFTEY ISSUE AND A MANDATORY RECALL SHOULD BE LAUNCHED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME.

TSB #11-033 I?M HAVING THE SAME OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS THAT THEY NOTIFIED OWNERS ABOUT IN THIS BULLETIN NUMBER ABOVE. WHEN I CALLED TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL THEY INFORM ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT VIN SPECIFIC TO RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE VIN NUMBER HAS TO DO WITH THE ISSUE??? MY VEHICLE IS BURNING OIL AS DESCRIBED IN THE LAWSUIT THAT THE WERE FOUND GUILTY OF BACK IN JULY OF 2011. I GOT MY OIL CHANGED ON 6/19/2011 AND WAS ADDING OIL ON 6/21/2011 AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE DOCUMENTS PROVIDED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT COVER IN THE RECALL. THEY WERE FOUND GUILTY! MY VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE TO FIX ALL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH MY HONDA ODYSSEY. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME ANSWERS AS TO WHY THEY ARE NOT? THANK YOU, *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON JUNE 3RD MY 4 YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SECURELY RESTRAINED IN HER BRITAX CLIGHTIGHT 5 POINT HARNESS IN THE SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER IN THE MIDDLE ROW. WE WERE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AFTER A GROCERY TRIP AND I WAS GETTING READY TO RETURN HOME AFTER SHOPPING. I PUT HER IN THE CAR AND CLOSED THE DOOR OF THE VAN. SHE TRIED STOPPING THE DOOR WITH HER FOOT BUT HER FOOT DIDN'T REACH THE PRESSURE SENSOR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR (THE THIN BLACK TUBING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE) SO THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER FOOT CAUSING BRUISING.I TALKED TO 3 HONDA DEALERS AND I HAVE A COMPLAINT FILED WITH HONDA. WHEN HONDA RETURNED MY CALL I WAS INSTRUCTED THAT HIS JOB WAS TO INFORM ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS LIMITATIONS AND THAT THE LAST THREE INCHES OF THE DOOR IS THE "POINT OF NO RETURN" WHERE THE DOOR NEEDS MOMENTUM TO LOCK. THE LAST EXPERIENCE WAS AT THE HONDA STORE WHERE A SALESMAN SHOWED ME THE 2019 HONDA. I DESCRIBED THE INCIDENT TO HIM AND ASKED HIM TO TRY STOPPING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SENSOR ON THE OUTSIDE. HE FIRST TOUCHED THE OUTSIDE SENSOR. I HAD HIM RETRY STOPPING THE DOOR ONLY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR WHERE MY DAUGHTERS FOOT WAS. HE SAID THE "POINT OF NO RETURN" ARGUMENT FROM HONDA OVER THE PHONE WASN'T TRUE BECAUSE THE PRESSURE SENSOR STOPPED THE DOOR WHEN HE TOUCHED IT AN INCH FROM THE DOOR. HE TOLD ME HE THOUGHT IT WAS ODD BECAUSE THE TAILGATE RETRACTS WHEN TOUCHED. HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO FIND OUT WHO I SHOULD CONTACT BUT NEVER GOT BACK TO ME. NO ONE CAN TELL ME HOW MUCH PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO MY DAUGHTERS FOOT THAT CAUSED THE SERVE BRUISING.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH MOTER RUNNING SAT THERE WHILE FINISHING SOMETHING, HAVING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK WENT TO PUT MY VAN IN PARK AFTER WHICH TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND MY VAN LUNGES FORWARD. I STOMPED ON MY BRAKES BARELY IN TIME TO NOT GO THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. #2 I WAS PARKED MUCH LIKE #1 IN FRONT OF MY GYM FOOT ON THE BRAKE WENT TO PUT THE VAN IN PARK AND IT LUNGES FORWARD, I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE IN TIME TO NOT GO ALL THE WAY UP THE CRUB. STILL NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS HAPPENING. #3 WAS A WEEK AGO. I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE ALMOST A U-TURN AND MY VAN EXCELLERATED SO FAST I WAS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR A CONCRETE PILLAR, WAS ABLE TO STOMP ON THE BRAKES COMING WAY TO CLOSE TO HITTING THE PILLAR. I TOOK THE ODYSSEY INTO HONDA THEY RAN THEIR TESTS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEY JUST THOUGHT I MUST HAVE SLIPPED OF THE BRAKE. WELL THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED IN EITHER OF THE 3 TIMES. VERY SCARY AND DRIVE VERY CAUTIOUS NOW. STOP A CAR LENGTH FROM OTHER CARS FROM CROSSWALKS PARK WITH MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND EXCELLERATE SLOWLY! PRAYING IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, MY 93 YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ON #3 AND SCARED HER TO DEATH!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLAMMED SHUT WHEN I PUSHED THE CLOSE BUTTON. IF IT WERE OPERATING IN MANUAL MODE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR THIS, AND LUCKILY IT WAS ONLY ME OPERATING THIS DOOR IN THIS INSTANCE, HOWEVER, THE FORCE WITH WHICH IT SHUT, UNEXPECTEDLY, BECAUSE ONE TINY ELECTRICAL WIRE, WHICH APPARENTLY CONTROLS THE WHOLE THING, BECAME DISCONNECTED SOMEHOW, WAS ENOUGH TO SCARE ME QUITE A LOT ABOUT HAVING MY CHILDREN OPERATE THESE DOORS IN THE FUTURE, WHICH SEEMS RIDICULOUS - I SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF MY CHILD BEING ABLE TO SAFELY OPERATE THEIR DOOR. (WE WERE PARKED FACING SLIGHTLY DOWNHILL IN OUR DRIVEWAY).
