AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
1 MONTH AGO, I TOOK MY FRIEND TO ATLANTA (ABOUT A 5 HR. TRIP) AND THE TRIP WENT SMOOTHLY UNTIL I DROPPED OFF MY FRIEND BACK IN TOWN. AS SOON AS SHE LEFT THE CAR, I TURNED ON THE IGNITION, AND THE SRS LIGHT STAYED ON . I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. I DON'T KNOW WHY MY CAR ACTS THIS STRANGE, , A WEEK LATER AFTER DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM, , THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SO FAR , 3 TIMES FIXED. EACH TIME THEY TOLD ME A DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC CODE FOR 3 DIFFERENT PARTS THAT I SHOULD HAVE REPLACED. SO FAR, I'VE REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG, THE OPDS UNIT, AND THE SRS HARNESS. YESTEDAY, WHEN MY HUSBAND DROVE TO STORE , SRS LIGHT CAME BACK AGAIN(EXACTLY ONE WEEK AFTER 3RD TIME REPAIRED) BUT THIS MORNING IT WAS OFF. WE MADE AN APPOINTMEMT WITH DEALERSHIP NEXT TUESDAY FOR 4TH TIME ATTEMP.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR ON LOW RPM THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SHAKE BEFORE SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR. IF INCREASING SPEED WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING OR RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESSING IT AGAIN IT STOPS DOING IT. *AK SO I HAVE TO REMEMBER ALWAYS TO PRESS HARD ON GAS PEDAL TO SHIFT IN TO 3RD GEAR. OTHERWISE IT WILL KEEP SHAKING AND WILL NOT SHIFT AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE ANY THING CAN HAPPEN OR BREAK IF YOU CAN NOT SHIFT GEARS. WE CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX IT BECAUSE ITS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2ND GEAR RECALL. BUT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BECOME A RECALL.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
FAILURE OF GASKET MATERIAL TO CONTAIN OIL WITHIN ENGINE VALVE COVER CYLINDER HEAD HAS CREATED OIL LEAK THAT WAS INITIALLY NOTICED ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. DEALER HAS VERIFIED PROBLEM BY INJECTING DYE AND USING BLACK-LIGHT TO ESTABLISH THE SOURCE OF THE OIL LEAK. THIS MIGHT TYPICALLY BE A NON-ISSUE FOR AN OLDER MODEL YEAR VEHICLE BUT I WOULD NOT EXPECT SUCH A PROBLEM ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE LESS THAN 4 YEARS AND PERSONALLY OWNED FOR ONLY 2 1/4 YEARS. PROBLEM COULD BE ONE OF MANUFACTURE INSTALLATION OR MATERIAL DEFECT OR A COMBINATION OF THE TWO. ENGINE FAILURE COULD RESULT IF PROBLEM IS NOT ADDRESSED/RESOLVED. RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM REQUIRES A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL COMMITMENT THAT COVERS THE LABOR TO DROP THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO REMOVE AND REPLACE THE VALVE COVER GASKET. THIS OWNER THINKS THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALER SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED OR OPERATED IN EXTREME CONDITIONS. *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
BOTH REAR SLIDING DOORS ON MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY STICK SO THAT THEY CANNOT BE OPENED, WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS APPROXIMATELY 85 FAHRENHEIT OR ABOVE. IN ORDER TO OPEN A STUCK SIDE DOOR, I MUST EITHER HAVE A SECOND PERSON PUSH HARD ON THE INSIDE WHILE I PULL HARD ON THE HANDLE ON THE OUTSIDE, OR I MUST YANK REPEATEDLY ON THE HANDLE. I WAS TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR LAST MAY, 2006, WHEN THE HANDLE BROKE OFF ENTIRELY, PROBABLY FROM THE REPEATED YANKING I'D DONE DURING THE THREE YEARS I'D HAD THE VAN. I FELL HARD INTO THE PAVEMENT AS WELL AS INTO THE CAR PARKED NEXT DOOR, BUT I AM MORE CONCERNED THAT, SHOULD I HAVE AN ACCIDENT, MY CHILDREN WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS TO FREE THEMSELVES. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WITH THE RUBBER SEALS ON THE DOORS STICKING TO THE METAL OF THE BODY WHEN THE DOOR IS SHUT. WHEN THE HANDLE BROKE, I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE VAN FOR REPLACEMENT, WHICH THEY DID AT NO CHARGE EVEN THOUGH THE VAN WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AS THEY'D REPLACED SEVERAL OTHER HANDLES DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO FIX FOR THE SEAL/STICKING PROBLEM ITSELF. THEY ADVISED ME TO APPLY A SILICONE-BASED LUBRICANT TO THE SEALS, WHICH I DID SEVERAL TIMES, BUT EACH TIME THE LUBRICANT ONLY LESSENED (NOT STOPPED) THE PROBLEM FOR A DAY OR TWO BEFORE THE DOOR WAS STICKING AGAIN. THE DEFECTIVE SEALS ARE STILL ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
HONDA ODYSSEY 2003. NEED KEY TO OPEN LOCKS ON DOORS. DRIVER DOOR KEY LOCK WAS STICKY AND NOW OVER TIME IMPOSSIBLE TO USE KEY. HAVE HAD DEALERSHIP AND AUTO BODY SHOP TO LOOK AT IT TO TRY TO FIX. SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT OF LOCKS. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE IS STICKING. THE ONLY DOOR I CAN STICK KEY INTO NOW, IS THE BACK HATCH DOOR! THIS VAN IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD.......THIS STARTED HAPPENING OVER A YEAR AGO. WHY WOULD THIS BE HAPPENING? MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, BUT THIS IS A DEFECT HONDA SHOULD REPAIR.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 HONDA ODYSSEY: GOT THE NOTICE IN THE MAIL IN 2004 ABOUT THE 2ND GEAR TRANSMISSION COOLER UPDATE / INSPECTION NEEDED FOR OUR ODYSSEY. WE HAD THE DEALER INSTALL THE REVISED COOLER AND AT ABOUT 45K MILES (SHORTLY AFTER) WE NOTICED A HIGH PITCHED WHINE COMING FROM THE CAR AT ALL SPEEDS THAT INCREASES IN PITCH / INTENSITY AS THE VEHICLE SPEED INCREASES. IF THE TRANSMISSION IS PUT IN NEUTRAL WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVING THE NOISE GOES AWAY - AS SOON AS THE TRANSMISSION IS RE-ENGAGED THE NOISE COMES BACK SO THE 'GEAR WHINE' TYPE NOISE IS DEFINITELY COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND WE DIDN'T NOTICE THIS UNTIL THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. NOW WE HAVE 100K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION 'SHUDDERS' ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN BEING KICKED DOWN FROM 5TH GEAR TO A LOWER GEAR LIKE 4TH OR 3RD SO I EXPECT IT TO FAIL SOON. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING DURING GEAR SHIFTS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ($90), BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO FELT THAT REPLACING THE ENGINE MOUNTS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM ($530), BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. THE DEALER CAN NOT EXPLAIN WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT RECOMMENDS THAT THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED ($3500). THE TRANSMISSION WAS "POWER FLUSHED" 6 MONTHS AGO BY ANOTHER DEALER, BUT WHEN CHANGED WAS DIRTY AND METAL PIECES WERE FOUND ON DRAIN PLUG.*JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL)
TL* - WHILE DRIVING A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY AT A SPEED OF 50-55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE BRIEFLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE PRIOR TO GOING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THE CONTACT BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP THAT SAME NIGHT OF THE INCIDENT ON 01/04/06, AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO REPLACE. THE CONTACT IS CONCERN BECAUSE IN APRIL OF 2006 HE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO HIS LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V176000( POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), AND HE FEELS THAT THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T INSPECT THE VEHICLE PROPERLY TO IDENTIFY IF ANY OF THE TRANSMISSION GEARS WERE EXPERIENCING DISCOLORATION DUE TO OVERHEATING.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
2003 HONDA ODYSSEY VEHICLE QUALITY AND VEHICLE SERVICE***CC THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALERSHIP WAS DOING DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES. THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DO ENOUGH TO HELP WITH THE PROBLEMS HE WAS EXPERIENCING WITH HIS VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED REGARDING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE TCS AND ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A FAULTY EGR VALVE. THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE, SO THE DEALER RESET THE LIGHT, HOWEVER THE NEXT DAY IT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER WAS LATER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WHICH THE CONSUMER BELIEVED WAS DUE TO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE STEERING WAS OFF CENTER, IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT AN ALIGNMENT BE PERFORMED, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE STEERING PROBLEM WAS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HONDA ODYSSEY 2003 TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HAD PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION FOR ALMOST A YEAR WHILE VEHICLE UNDER 3 YEAR/36 MILES. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL HONDA DEALER WITH TRANSMISSION MAKING LOUD CLUNK NOISE & UNABLE TO ENGAGE PROPERLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ALMOST YEAR AGO WITH VEHICLE ODOMETER READING APPROX 30K MILES ONLY. WE WERE ASKED THAT ITS NORMAL VARIANT FOR THAT VEHICLE NOISE CLUNK & WARM UP YOUR CAR, DO MORE OFTEN TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE. SINCE THAT LAST VISIT TO DEALER WE DROVE VEHICLE ANOTHER 5 K OVER A YEAR. DURING OUR RECENT LONG DRIVE WITH FAMILY & 3 YOUNG KIDS OVER THANKS GIVING WEEKEND FROM MISSOURI TO INDIANA. TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING & MAKING MORE NOISE PROBLEMS. TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER ON SATURDAY 12/16/2006 WITH ODOMETER READING 35,550 MILES AFTER READING ALL REVIEWS POSTED BY HONDA ODYSSEY CONSUMERS. HONDA DEALER CALLED ME TODAY( 12/18/2006) THAT TRANSMISSION MAY FAIL & NEED TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE HONDA MOTOR CO HAS JEOPARDIZE THE LIFE OF OUR FAMILY WITH A IMMINENT TRANSMISSION FAILURE DURING OUR RECENT TRIP DESPITE THE FACT WE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM TO HONDA DEALER ATTENTION IN GOOD FAITH NOT EVEN KNOWING THAT THEIR IS RECALL ON CERTAIN ODYSSEY TRANSMISSIONS FOR PREMATURE FAILURE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 45-55 MPH. SPOKE TO SERVICE MGR AT AVENUES HONDA AND HE SAID OTHER THAN TRANSMISSION IT MIGHT BE THE EGC (?). THIS SOMETIMES MAKES IT SEEM LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN THIS MPH RANGE. WAS TOLD THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. DECIDED NOT TO TAKE CAR IN SINCE THE LIGHT WASN'T COMING ON YET. MAINLY BECAUSE DIDN'T WANT TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE FOR SOMETHING HONDA KNOWS IS A PROBLEM. CAR HAS 50000 MILES ON IT. CAR MILEAGE IS WAY TOO LOW FOR SOMETHING TO BE HAPPENING TO TRANSMISSION. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1. THERE WERE NO EVENTS THAT LED TO THE FAILURE. 2. WHEN SLIGHTLY ACCELERATING BETWEEN THE SPEEDS OF 35-45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS OUT OF GEAR, THE TACHOMETER WOULD SHOOT WAY UP, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD START SLOWING DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON, EXCEPT ON ONE OCCASION RECENTLY. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT HAPPEN ON A DAILY BASIS. SOME DAYS IT WOULD HAPPEN ONCE, WHILE OTHER DAYS IT WOULD HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN BEING REAR ENDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BY CARS AND BIG RIG (18-WHEELERS) TRUCKS THAT WERE FOLLOWING CLOSELY. MY WIFE WAS BECOMING INCREASINGLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS HAPPENING AT A HIGHER RATE (ON A DAILY BASIS) PRIOR TO THE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES IS TOO MANY TO REMEMBER. 3. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THE DEALER FINALLY REPLACED (FREE OF CHARGE) THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY RECORDED A TRANSMISSION CODE ERROR. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN STARTING OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY, IT HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF "PARK" OVER THE LAST MONTH. WE HAVE TRIED TURNING THE VAN OFF THEN ON TO TRY TO SHIFT. WE HAVE TRIED PRESSING AT DIFFERENT ANGLES ON THE BRAKE PAD. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS - AND ONLY INTERMITTENTLY - IS TO LITERALLY JAM WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH THE GAS PEDAL DOWN THEN SHIFT AS QUICK AS YOU CAN. LOOKING AT THE INTERNET...WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID ONE DAY, IT WILL FINALLY "GIVE OUT". THIS VAN IN ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SOMETHING LIKE A SENSOR FAIL IN A RELATIVELY NEW VAN?!? *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE RADIO CONTROLS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. WHILE ON VACATION, THE CRUISE CONTROL SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. THE DEFECTIVE PART ALSO AFFECTED THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE HORN ASSEMBLY, THE STEERING WHEEL, AIR BAG SENSOR, CRUISE CONTROL AND RADIO CONTROLS. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CABLE AND REEL ASSEMBLY. THE REPAIR ONLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO CONTROLS AND THE CRUISE CONTROL.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND NO PROBLEM AND COULD NOT RECREATE IT. WHEN THE DOOR DOES OPEN YOU MUST PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO CLOSE THE DOOR WITH THE DRIVERS CONTROLS, THERE IS NOT ALWAYS A SAFE AREA TO PARK WHEN THIS HAPPENS WHICH INCREASES THE RISK TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP THE VEHICLE. IN MY OPINION THIS CREATES A BIG CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN WHO SIT NEXT TO IT. *JB
