DURING A RECENT (MILD) SNOW STORM, BOTH THE POWER SLIDING DOORS ON MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN REFUSED TO OPEN. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE MOTORS OF BOTH DOORS GAVE UP ALTOGETHER; THE BEEPING SOUND THAT INDICATES THE BLOCKING OF DOORS ALSO STOPPED. WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE HANDLE BROKE OFF. I HAD THE DOOR MOTORS REPAIRED AT MY HONDA DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CONTACTS WERE MOIST AND THEREFORE THE DOORS DID NOT WORK. AT 42.000 MILES I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD, BUT I COULD ACCEPT SUCH A DEFECT. I AM REALLY CONCERNED, THOUGH, ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF JUST LIKE THAT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN (4 AND 5). THE YOUNGEST CANNOT GET OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT BY HIMSELF AND I COULD NOT GET TO HIM QUICKLY. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. I NOTIFIED HONDA ABOUT THIS AND I HEREWITH REPORT THE ISSUE. I HOPE THAT HONDA WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY FOR THESE MATTERS. I CONTACT THE NHTSA ALSO, SINCE I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. I KNOW THAT I DID NOT APPLY ANY UNREASONABLE FORCE TO THE DOOR HANDLE TO MAKE IT BREAK. I CAN EASILY IMAGINE SOMEONE (IN A PANIC?) DOING THE SAME. *AK

SINCE PURCHASING A 2000 ODYSESSY EX, I HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH BOTH SLIDING DOORS. ONCE AGAIN TODAY, NEITHER DOOR WOULD OPEN. I HAVE HAD LATCHES REPLACED, HANDLES REPLACES, REMOTES REPLACED AND STILL THE PROBLEM IS AS BAD AS EVER. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR GENERALLY NEVER CLOSES PROPERLY AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLICKERS ON AND OFF FORCING ME TO SHUT THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE OFF SO THEY STOP FLASHING. WHENEVER THE WEATHER IS DAMP OR COLD, THE DOORS WILL NOT WORK. TONIGHT I HAD THE CAR RUNNING FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR AND THE DOORS STILL WOULD NOT OPEN. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER THERE IS EITHER AN ATTEMPT TO GET ME TO REPLACE EVERY CONCEIVABLE PART HOPING TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR THEY SIMPLY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS SITUATION. NOT ONLY IS IT EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT TO GET 4 CHILDREN IN AND OUT THROUGH THE FRONT DOORS, BUT IT IS DANGEROUS. IF THERE WAS EVER A NEED TO QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER SITUATION, IT OFTEN TIMES WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE SINCE THE DOORS WOULDN'T WORK. AFTER 18 MONTHS DEALING WITH THIS SITUATION, I'VE HAD ENOUGH. I THINK IT IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WHICH THE DEALERS SIMPLY CAN NOT FIX. I'M WILLING TO BET THE ORIGINAL OWNER TRADED IT IN BECAUSE OF THE SAME SITUATION BECAUSE IT STARTED FOR ME THE FIRST DAY WE OWNED THE VEHICLE. *LA

PROBLEMS WITH SLIDING DOOR LATCH ON 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY.*MR (NAR) *CB THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB
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.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator 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 air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVAN. THE SLIDING DOORS MAY NOT LATCH PROPERLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AN IMPROPERLY LATCHED DOOR COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, A DOOR COULD OPEN COMPLETELY. AN UNRESTRAINED REAR SEAT PASSENGER COULD FALL OUT OF AN OPEN DOOR OF A MOVING VEHICLE AND BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.
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.
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. A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER OR LIGHTING, OR A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OR ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FEATURE IN BAD WEATHER, COULD RESULT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE COVERING OVER THE WIRE HARNESS AND METAL PIPE TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM. IF ANY WIRES ARE DAMAGED, THE DEALER WILL MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, AND THEN INSTALL THE PROTECTIVE COVERING.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVANS. THE FRONT BODY/FRAME IS MISSING SPOT WELDS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE MISSING WELDS MIGHT AFFECT THE OCCUPANT PROTECTION PERFORMANCE IN A COLLISION.
Remedy: DEALERS INSPECTED ALL THE VEHICLES AND THEY WERE FOUND TO BE PROPERLY WELDED.
