SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
OUR FIRST COIL SPRING BROKE AT 46,751 MILES YR 2002 RT SIDE. THE SECOND ONE BROKE 97653 MILES LF SIDE 2005 LUCKILY MY WIFE AND SON WERE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VAN FELL DOWN RESULTING IN A TIRE AND SWAY BARS WHEEL SENSOR DAMAGE. THE THIRD COIL SPRING BROKE 123,000 MILES RT SIDE. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE STOPPED OR THE DEALER FOUND THE BROKEN SPRING. I HAVE THE CURRENT COIL SPRING AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ARE ONE HAS A COATING ON IT THE OTHER IS PAINTED. SAME SIZE DIA METAL. THESE FAILURE RATE IS EVIDENCE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COIL SPRINGS AND A GROWING TREND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
EVERY WINTER SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR 1999 ODYSSEY BRAND NEW, THE POWER SLIDING DOORS WOULD FREEZE AND LOCK UP. IT WILL NOT WORK. SINCE OUR ODYSSEY IS OUT OF MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, THE COST TO REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE - A DEALER ESTIMATED $2000 JUST TO FIX ONE DOOR. SO WE DECIDED NOT TO FIX THE SLIDING POWER DOORS AND JUST OPEN THEM MANUALLY INSTEAD. EVEN IN MANUAL MODE, THEY STILL FREEZE DURING WINTER. THE DANGEROUS PART IS THAT THEY OPEN BY ITSELF EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT THIS MAY BE A SERIAL DEFECT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
PROBLEM WITH POWER SLIDING DOOR. ON OUR 1999 EX ODYSSEY, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR CLOSES BUT NOT QUITE ALL THE WAY, IT WILL NOT "ENGAGE", OR "CATCH". THEREFORE, THE VAN THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN (OPEN DOOR LIGHT IS ON, BUZZES CONTINUALLY WHEN PUT INTO GEAR, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON). BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM MY SON GOT HURT BECAUSE THE DOOR DIDN'T STOP WHEN HE WAS GETTING INTO THE VAN SO THE DOOR TRAPPED HIS ARM. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL SO I HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $1,000 CANADIAN TO GET IT FIX. THE HONDA DEALER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I WOULD LIKE TO FILE THIS PROBLEM IN COURT IF IT IS POSSIBLE. *JB
