SERVICE BRAKES
DANGEROUS BRAKING DUE TO SOFT BRAKE PEDAL; RELATIVE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V098000. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADDRESSED ON THIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, VEHICLE HAS A TENDENCY TO ROLL THROUGH STOP SIGNS OR STOP LIGHTS IF DRIVER IS NOT CAREFUL TO BEGIN STOPPING EARLIER THAN NORMAL. VEHICLE HAS A NEW MASTER CYLINDER INSTALLED YET THE PROBLEM REMAINS. ELEVATED VEHICLE ON JACK STANDS TO CHECK CALIPER FUNCTION. DISCOVERED ONLY TWO WHEELS ARE BRAKING. WITH ENGINE RUNNING, WHILE ON JACK STANDS, I HAD MY WIFE PRESS AND HOLD THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO ROLL EACH WHEEL; THE LEFT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR WHEELS ROLLED FREELY WITH BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED, AND THE RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT REAR WERE UNABLE TO BE ROLLED WITH BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED. WITH BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED AND A PROPER BLEEDING SEQUENCE, I OPENED THE BLEEDER VALVE ON THE CALIPERS. THE LEFT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR CALIPERS EXHIBITED NO FLUID PRESSURE. IT IS KNOWN THIS VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM IS MADE UP OF TWO HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS LINKING THE LEFT FRONT WITH THE RIGHT REAR, AND LINKING THE RIGHT FRONT WITH THE LEFT REAR. SOMETHING LINKED TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL IS CAUSING THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO FAIL AND CONTINUE TO EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
REFERENCE CAMPAIGN ID: 14V112000. AFFECTS 888,000+ HONDA ODYSSEY MINI-VANS BUILT BETWEEN 2005 TO 2010. RECALL ISSUE: FUEL PUMP COVER MAY CRACK & LEAK FUEL. FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED IN CENTER REAR OF AUTO. A SMELL OF GASOLINE IS PRESENT AFTER THE MINI-VAN HAS BEEN RUNNING. COMPLAINT: VIN FOR 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY SHOWING 0 (ZERO) RECALL ISSUES UNATTENDED. HOWEVER, THE FUEL PUMP COVER ON THIS ODYSSEY IS LEAKING. POSSIBLE CAUSES: 1) RECALL NOTICE AND SERVICE TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP COVER WAS NOT ISSUED; 2) REPLACEMENT FUEL PUMP COVER SERVICE WAS PERFORMED BUT WAS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY, OR HAS FAILED AGAIN. HONDA WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP COVER W/ IMPROVED VERSION THAT WAS DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. IF AN ORIGINAL PART REPLACEMENT COVER WAS INSTALLED AS PART OF THE RECALL, THIS WAS TO BE CONSIDERED TEMPORARY UNTIL THE IMPROVED VERSION WAS AVAILABLE, HONDA WAS TO NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP COVER W/ IMPROVED VERSION. WHAT REMEDIES/ACTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

STRUCTURE:BODY
SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE STARTED TO BECOME HARD TO OPEN WITHOUT RESISTANCE. EVENTUALLY DIDN'T OPEN MORE THAN HALF WAY. IT BECAME SO HARD TO CLOSE THAT IT NEEDED TO BE PUSHED AFTER THE INITIAL CLOSING. BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS THE DOOR COMPLETELY FELL OF THE TRACK ALONG THE SIDE AND TOP OF THE DOOR TRACK. IT WAS HANGING ON BY THE BOTTOM TRACK ALONE. IT APPEARS THE ROLLERS FOR THE TRACK HAVE BROKEN COMPLETELY AND ARE NO LONGER ATTACHED.
