SEATS
THE WELD FOR THE DRIVERS SEAT FAILED IN MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 125,000 MILES. NO WARNING. MY WIFE ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE SHOP FOREMAN AT THE HONDA DEALER SAID IT WAS SAFE FOR A WHILE. IS A BROKEN WELD ON A SEAT A MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION OR AT THE LEAST DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE AND DAUGHTERS? *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
WE HAVE A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT SECURELY CLOSE. IT CLOSES MOST OF THE WAY THEN, INSTEAD OF LATCHING, STAYS JUST UNLATCHED AND KEEPS THE WARNING GOING OFF. I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON HONDA PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE MY HAS TO TURN OFF THE ELECTRIC DOORS IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE (EVEN AFTER BUMPING THE DOOR CLOSED) AND THAT (1) NEGATES THE WARNING FEATURE AND (2) MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE IN MY OPINION BECAUSE THE DOORS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THIS ODYSSEY FROM JIM COLEMAN HONDA IN MARYLAND IN 2006 WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS 2004 MODEL. THE AC WORKED 2006 BUT IN 2007 IT DI NOT WORK WHEN WE NEEDED. I CALLED THE HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT COVER AC UNDER THE WARRANTY. I TOOK MY ODYSSEY TO CRISWELL HONDA IN GERMANTOWN IN MARYLAND AND PAID $100.00 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC. IT WORKED FINE FOR A WEEK AND AGAIN NO AC. AFTER THAT WE WENT TO INDIA IN SEP 2007 AND RTN IN DEC 2007. WHEN THE SUMMER CAME IN 2007 WE HAD NO AC I TOOK THE VAN AGAIN TO CRISWELL HONDA AND EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THEY FIXED THIS IN 2007 THEY LOOKED AND SAID THAT THERE IS A LEAK AND WILL COST $55.00 TO FIX IT. I FOUGHT BACK AND AFTER TALKING TO THE MANAGER THEY SAID IT WILL COST $50.00. I PAID AND AFTER 3 DAYS AGAIN NO AC. COME 2009 MAY I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIRS IS NO VISIBLE LEAKS AT THIS TIME BUT THEY NEED TO PUT THE DYE TO CHK ANY LEAK AND WILL COST ME $560.00 . I GUESS THAT IT IS REGULAR PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS. GOOD WAY TO MAKE MONEY AND SPOIL YOUR NAME. I HAD A HONDA ACCORD 95 MODEL AND NEVER HAD ISSUE WITH THE AC. I AM GOING TO WRITE TO HONDA IN JAPAN ABOUT THIS. I HAVE JUST CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA AND GOT THE STANDARD ANSWER FROM MS MARLYN THAT THERE IS NO RECALL OR ADVISORY FROM HONDA ON THIS. TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SHE OPENED A CASE NO FOR ME. LETS FIGHT TOGETHER. *TR AEJAZ

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NORMAL FUNCTIONALITY DRIVING ON TRIP DURING MILD WEATHER ON 29 MARCH 2009 FROM SACRAMENTO AREA TO LOS ANGELES. AFTER DRIVING OVER 5 HOURS, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING DUE TO THE RAPID EJECTION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE TRANSMISSION (BREATHER VALVE?) WHICH RESULTED IN SUDDEN AND CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE TRANSMISSION REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT 79000 MILES AND WAS SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP DURING SCHEDULED TRANSMISSION SERVICE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED BOTH AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE SENSOR IN THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY WAS NOT RECEIVING A SIGNAL THAT INDICATES THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS CAUSES THE DOOR TO BECOME AJAR. THE DEALER FEELS THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS, BUT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR FREE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 76,500.

AIR BAGS
1. ON SAT, NOVEMBER 22, 2008, MY FAMILY AND I WERE RIDING IN OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. WE WERE TRAVELING WEST ON 94 THROUGH MENOMONIE, WI AT A POSTED SPEED OF 65 MPH. IT WAS 6:15 OR SO, AND THE SUN HAD GONE DOWN. THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD AS IT WAS HUNTING SEASON IN WI. WITHOUT WARNING, 2 LARGE DEER JUMPED IN FRONT OF OUR MINIVAN. MY HUSBAND HIT BOTH DEER - ONE WENT OVER THE TOP OF THE VAN, AND ONE WENT UNDER THE VAN - BOTH DEER WERE KILLED BY THE IMPACT. MY HUSBAND DID NOT LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR, AND WE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING ELSE. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE, AND THE CAR WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. 2. THE FRONT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! WHILE THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL INJURY TO EITHER MY HUSBAND OR MYSELF, I KNOW THERE WAS A DEFECT AS THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN A FRONT END IMPACT AT THAT SPEED. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO DATE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE AS FRONT END OF MINIVAN NEEDS EXTENSIVE REPAIR IN ORDER TO BE DRIVEN AGAIN. *TR
