SERVICE BRAKES
THE ABS BRAKES PERFORM NORMALLY 90% OF THE TIME . HOWEVER AT LEAST ONCE DURING A TRIP USUALLY AT 5 OR 10 MPH SPEED I STEP ON THE BRAKES AND MUST FLOOR THEM WITH EXTREME PRESSURE TO GET THEM TO WORK .I END UP STOPPING 5 TO 10 FEET PAST WHERE I SHOULD . THE REMAINDER OF A TRIP THE BRAKES SEEM TO BEHAVE NORMALLY . NO BRAKE WARNINGS APPEAR ON THE DASH AND MY FLUID LEVEL IS NORMAL WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS .

I'VE THIS HONDA ODYSSEY SINCE DEC 2010 WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 42000 MILES. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE FROM ANOTHER PERSON(1ST OWNER), I KNEW I HAD TO FIX THE ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST 44000 MILES AND I HAD CHANGED ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS AT 45412 MILES ON 03/17/2011. NOW, AS OF 05/19/2015, THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 96000 MILES. I HAVE TO CHANGE SIDE AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS AGAIN ON 05/19/2015. THIS DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA PARTS AND HOW THEY ARE WORKING WHEN THE VAN IS IN MOTION. CHANGING MOTOR MOUNTS 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING AND WASTE OF UNNECESSARY MONEY. MY WIFE USES THIS VAN FOR HER DAILY WORK COMMUTE. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT HAS LESS MILES AND I'VE DONE ALL THE SERVICES REGULARLY AS IT IS THE PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. SO, I REQUEST HONDA TO CONSIDER THIS AS A GENUINE REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I'VE THE RECEIPTS FOR THESE 2 SERVICES. ALSO, I'VE SEEN SEVERAL HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 VANS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, SO HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS MOTOR MOUNTS PROBLEM AND FIX AT THEIR COST OR REIMBURSE FOR ALREADY REPAIRED VANS

AS I STARTED TO RECEIVE NOTICE THAT MY NAVIGATION DISC NEEDED REPLACING, THE DISC FAILED, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENTIRE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND RENDERING ALL CONSOLE CONTROLS USELESS. THOUGH THAT IS IRRITATING, THE SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT IT ALSO SHUT DOWN THE USE OF MY BACK-UP CAMERA. ALTHOUGH I AM ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE CAMERA, SEVERAL "ALMOST" ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THE BLIND SPOTS I CAN NO LONGER SEE WITHOUT THE USE OF THE CAMERA.

AIR BAGS
PLEASE, JUST CHECK PROBLEM WITH AIR BAGS! HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2005/HONDA/ODYSSEY/AIR_BAGS/PROBLEM.ASPX AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND OFF. AFTER TWO YEARS THE LIGHT ON MOST OF THE TIME AND IT WENT OFF AUTOMATICALLY FOR A WHILE THEN CAME BACK ON. I CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR INC. THEY DON'T WANT TO CREATE A RECALL FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT WILL BE DIFFERENT COMPONENT FAIL IN THAT CASE. THEY JUST WANT TO CREATE THE RECALL FOR EACH COMPONENT BREAK DOWN. THEY NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST AND DEPEND ON WHICH COMPONENT UNDER WARRANTY THEN HONDA WILL NOT CHARGE THE PARTS. OTHERWISE WE NEED TO PAY ALL THE REPAIR. I REQUEST FOR THE RECALL FOR THE SRS LIGHT ON. BECAUSE A LOT OF THE OWNERS THINK THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT THEY THINK JUST THE LIGHT IS ON AND KEEP DRIVING. I WAS THINKING THE SAME WAY TOO. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO REQUEST THAT RECALL ASAP FOR THE SRS LIGHT ON SO WE WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE LIFE IN ADVANCE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MANY, MANY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. FOR SOME REASON MANUFACTURE YEAR 2005 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL? WE GOT THE INITIAL LETTER TELLING US OUR AIR BAGS WOULD BE A RECALL ITEM IN THE SUMMER, 2014 BUT THEN NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW-UP LETTER. UPON INVESTIGATION ON MY PART I FOUND OUT THAT MY MODEL YEAR, 2005, AIR BAGS DID NOT GET RECALLED. BUT WE ARE HAVING THE SAME AIR BAG ISSUE AND SEEMS LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY MATTER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ONE MORNING AS WE WERE STARTED UP THE ENGINE I NOTICED A SOMEWHAT LOUD NOISE AS IS THE MUFFLER HAD A HOLE IN IT. I DROVE IT FOR AWHILE AND NOTICED AT THIS POINT THAT THE NOISE WAS HEARD AS WE ACCELERATED AND WHEN THE CAR WENT INTO ECO MODE. I HAD STOOD OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE MY WIFE DROVE AWAY BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANY NOISE. THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER ON A RECALL, FUEL PUMP, AND ASKED FOR THEM TO LOOK UNDER IT. THEY REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNT THAT WAS WORN DOWN. I SEE THAT HONDA ODYSSEY, 2005 (OUR YEAR MODEL) THROUGH 2007 HAS THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY TYPE OF ACTION THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO HAVE HONDA REPAIR THIS INCIDENT WITHOUT THE COST COMING FROM ME. *TR

ENGINE
SUMMER OF 2014 MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS LOSING POWER ON THE ROAD TO THE POINT I HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. TURNED OUT I WAS LOW ON OIL WITH NO LEAKS AT ALL AND NOT DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THIS IS VERY STRESSFUL ON MY ENGINE. MY VAN IS ONLY USED FOR LOCAL TRAVEL, ABOUT 20 MILES PER DAY AND I HAVE BEEN NEEDING TO ADD OIL ABOUT ONCE PER MONTH, STILL WITH NO LEAKS. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR HONDA ODYSSEYS 2008-2013 FOR EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING, ENTERING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL AT NORMAL OPERATING SPEEDS AND CONDITIONS. COPIED FROM THE INTERNET, HTTP://WWW.HONDAPROBLEMS.COM/TRENDS/EXCESSIVE-OIL-CONSUMPTION/ THE ORIGINAL LAWSUIT CLAIMS HONDA HID THE PROBLEM FROM CONSUMERS. HONDA DENIED THE ALLEGATION, DESPITE ISSUING A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB #11-033) IN JULY OF 2011 THAT QUIETLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THE TSB STATES THAT "THE VCM (VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT) MAY BE REPEATEDLY SWITCHING ON AND OFF DURING LIGHT THROTTLE OPERATION, AT CRUISING SPEEDS, ON FLAT ROADS." ESSENTIALLY, THE ENGINE IS WORKING MUCH HARDER THAN IT HAS TO IN NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IN FACT, IF YOUR COMMUTE DOESN'T CONSIST OF CLIMBING THROUGH THE ROCKIES, YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO SEE MORE OIL CONSUMPTION THAN NORMAL. JUST SPOKE TO AMERICAN HONDA WHO ADVISED I NEED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO HONDA FOR AN INSPECTION.

THE MESSAGE "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" LIGHTS UP ON THE DASHBOARD. INITIALLY, IT BEGAN LIGHTING UP MORE INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN GOING OFF, BUT NOW IT IS ON NEARLY ALL THE TIME. MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL THAT HONDA HAS. IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2005 ODYSSEY OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE BEGIN AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR
