LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. TWO WEEKS AGO, MY SLIDING DOOR SENSOR WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THE DOORS WERE CLOSED BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE THE ALARM IN THE CAR WOULD SOUND AS IF ONE OF THE DOORS WAS OPEN. I CHECKED THE DOORS AND AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES OF OPENING AND CLOSING THEM, THE ALARM DID NOT SOUND. I WAS DUE TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED FOR ITS 75,000 MILE SERVICE SO I WAITED TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR IT'S ROUTINE SERVICE, AS I DO FOR EACH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DOOR SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1,100 TO FIX. I EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. HONDA IN TURN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY (APPARENTLY THE WARRANTY WAS NOT A HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH, THIS IS WHAT ROSENTHAL HAD PORTRAYED IT AS) ABOUT THE REPAIR AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD CALL THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO COMPLAIN IF I FELT SO INCLINED TO DO. I CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY AND THEY SAID THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE IS JUST OVER 75,063 MILES. THEY DID NOT CARE THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN THIS BE A NON-RECALL ISSUE IF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION IS THE EXACT REASON WHY I PURCHASED HONDA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. IF I HAD KNOW THE DOORS ON THIS VEHICLE WOULD COST THAT MUCH TO FIX I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THAT VAN. *JB

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
SECOND ROW SEAT BELTS DO NOT REMAIN IN LOCKED POSITION WHEN USING WITH AN INFANT CAR SEAT. THE SEAT BELT WILL REMAIN LOCKED FOR 1, 2, OR 3 DAYS. BUT WE HAVE FOUND THE BELT LOCKING MECHANISM TO EVENTUALLY RELEASE. CHECKING THE BELT TO SEE IT'S LOCKED AT THE START OF YOUR TRIP ONLY TO FIND AT THE END OF THE TRIP THE LOCK HAS RELEASED. SINCE THE VAN IS OUT OF 3 YR / 36,000 MI WARRANTY, WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VAN IS MODEL YEAR 2000 WITH 32,000 MILES. *NM

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PROBLEM WITH 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY MOTOR MOUNTS. VEHICLE WITH 70000 MILES. FRONT AND RIGHT MOTOR MOUNTS NEEDED REPLACING. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATES A VERY FREQEUNT OCCURANCE WITH HONDA ACCORDS AND ODYSSEYS POINTING TO A DESIGN DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. REPAIR EXPENSIVE TO OWNER. FAILURE CAUSES SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION OF ENGINE AND EVENTUAL PROGRESSION OF FAILURE TO OTHER MORE EXPENSIVE PARTS. TO FIX, PARTS WERE REPLACED.

TIRES
ON MAY 17, 2005 WE PURCHASED 4 DUNLOP SP SPORT 4000 TIRES FOR OUR HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAD 4 WHEEL FRONT DRIVE ALIGNMENT AND COMPUTER BALANCING. ON MAY 30TH, WE NOTICED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE WALL. SINCE THE TIRES WERE ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD, WE WERE VERY SURPRISED AND DISAPPOINTED. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL TIRE SHOP, THEY SAID THAT SUCH BUBBLES WERE NOT THE RESULT OF POORLY MADE TIRES, INSTEAD, BY ROAD HAZARDS. THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES OR OTHER NOTICEABLE MARKS ON THE TIRE, BUT THERE IS A RIP ON THE INSIDE, NEAR THE RIM. THE TIRE WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE.

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE MANUAL DOORS ON MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY CONTINUALLY GET STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. I HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM IN HOT OR COLD, WET OR DRY WEATHER. PEOPLE GET STUCK INSIDE, AND CAN'T GET OUT UNLESS THEY PUT THEIR SHOULDER INTO THE DOOR, AND PEOPLE GET STUCK OUTSIDE NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE DOORS WON'T OPERATE PROPERLY UNDER NORAML CONDITIONS, HOW LIKELY WILL THEY OPERATE IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION? PLEASE INSTRUCT HONDA TO INITIATE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. INTERMITTENTLY THE SLIDING DOORS WOULD LOCK BY THEMSELVES, AND NOT OPEN FROM EITHER SIDE. ALSO, THE DOOR AJAR/OPEN ALARM REMAINED ON WHILE DRIVING, AND BOTH DOORS WOULD BE CLOSED. CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE SLIDING DOOR SWITCH TO TURN OFF THE ALARM, WHICH CAUSED BOTH DOORS NOT TO OPEN IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER. *AK
