ON SEPT. 6, 2000 WHILE DRIVING ON I-10 IN MISSISSIPPI MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT IN THE FAST LANE WITH MY SELF AND TWO VERY YOUNG CHILDREN ON BOARD. THE CAUSE OF THE BLOW OUT IS UNKNOW. I HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE TIRE STORE HAS COMMENT THAT THE TIRE IS WEARING IN AN UNUSAUL PATTERN FROM THE OUTSIDE IN, INSTEAD OF HOW THEY NORMALLY WEAR THE INSIDE OUT. THE VAN IS IN ALLIGNMENT. HONDA HAS BEEN WORDERFUL IN HELPING ME GET THE TIRE REPLACED. SIX DAYS AFTER THE BLOW OUT I GOT ALL NEW TIRES NOW KELLY SPRINGFIELD DUE TO ANOTHER BLOW OUT SCARE WITH MY REMAING TIRES AND DUE TO THE FACT THEY HAVE WORN SO BADLY DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE OF ALL FOUR TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: P215 TIRE SIZE: 65R16 )

THE SEAT BELTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE LOCATED IN THE MIDDLE ROW OF SEATS IN OUR MINIVAN BOTH FAILED, WITHIN 4 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND USE CHILD CAR SEATS FOR THEM. MY WIFE KNOWS MORE ABOUT CAR SEATS THAN MOST PEOPLE WHO WORK AT THE CAR DEALERSHIPS, AND WE USE THEM IN THE MANNER THEY WERE INTENDED TO BE USED. YET, BOTH SEAT BELTS FAILED. I'VE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE WHERE A SEAT BELT HAS FAILED. TWO FAILURES REGARDING THE SAME PART (ALBEIT, ONE IS THE LEFT SIDE AND THE OTHER IS THE RIGHT SIDE) IS UNACCEPTABLE, AND STRONGLY SUGGESTS THERE IS A DEFECT. WE HAD TO WAIT DAYS FOR THE SEAT BELT PART TO ARRIVE AT THE HONDA DEALER, THUS WE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT SAFE. WE SIMPLY DID NOT ALLOW OUR CHILDREN TO USE THE FAILED SEAT BELTS. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE RETRACTOR SOMEHOW GETS STUCK, AND THE SEAT BELT IS COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. AGAIN, 2 FAILURES OF THE SAME PART IS MORE THAN A COINCIDENCE. ARE THE SEAT BELTS SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN/IF THERE'S A CRASH. THE HONDA DEALERS CLAIM THERE THEY HAVE NOT NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE SEATBELTS, BUT I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. SOUNDS LIKE A COVERUP.*AK

Official recalls
9Jan 17, 2020
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
Oct 27, 2003
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES AND MINI VANS, THE IGNITION SWITCH MAY WEAR EXCESSIVELY AND PREVENT PROPER INTERLOCK OPERATION, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO "PARK."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE VEHICLE OPERATOR DOES NOT SHIFT TO "PARK" BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY AND FAILS TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL PERFORM AN INSPECTION PROCEDURE THAT DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF CYLINDER BODY WEAR. IF SIGNIFICANT WEAR IS INDICATED, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE CYLINDER BODY, COLLAR, AND LATCH PLATE. IF NO SIGNS OF WEAR ARE INDICATED, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LATCH PLATE WITH A REDESIGNED PART. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN DECEMBER 8, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
May 16, 2002
ON CERTAIN SEDANS, COUPES, HATCHBACKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 14, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY ON ALL ODYSSEY MINVANS BUILT FROM DECEMBER 3, 1999 THROUGH DECEMBER 16, 1999. ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL ARE APPROXIMATELY 1,612 ODYSSEY MINIVANS THAT HAD THE LATCHES REPLACED UNDER RECALL 99V-158 OR UNDER WARRANTY, THAT MAY NEED TO HAVE THE LATCHES REPLACED AGAIN. OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WILL BE NOTIFIED BY HONDA TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THEIR HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION OF THE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED LATCH ASSEMBLY. LATCHES WITH THE SUSPECT DATE CODE WILL BE REPLACED.
Feb 11, 2000
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. A WIRE HARNESS, LOCATED WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, COULD BE DAMAGED BY CONTACT WITH A METAL PIPE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A BLOWN FUSE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A FUSE BLOWS, ENGINE POWER, OR OPERATION OF ANY OR ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, CAN BE LOST, INCLUDING LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HORN, AND THE ANTI-LOCK FUNCTION OF THE BRAKES.
