TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH OF THE SLIDING DOORS WERE EXPERIENCING NUMEROUS FAILURES. THE DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO AUTOMATICALLY SLIDE OPEN WHENEVER SHE PRESSES THE BUTTONS OR PULLS ON THE HANDLE. WHEN SHE DOES THIS, THE DOORS FAIL TO OPEN PROPERLY. OCCASIONALLY, THE DOORS DO NOT OPEN AT ALL AND WILL CLOSE HALFWAY, FORCING HER TO HAVE TO EXIT THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY. THE FAILURE HAS SINCE WORSENED. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE AND MUST BE OPENED OR CLOSED MANUALLY. BOTH DOORS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF THE WORK PERFORMED ON THE DOORS AT THE TIME OF SERVICE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES WOULD IMMEDIATELY RECUR. THE ONLY WAY THAT THE REAR PASSENGERS COULD EXIT THE VEHICLE WAS THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER OR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT IN AN EVENT OF A CRASH, THE CHILDREN WOULD NOT BE SAFE. THE DOORS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED AND ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IS CURRENTLY ABLE TO OPEN. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE AND TCM INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHEN SHE REACHED 40 MPH, THE RPM DIAL BEGAN MOVING UP AND DOWN RANDOMLY. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY FAILURES. A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, IT FAILED AGAIN SIX MONTHS LATER. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED A SECOND TIME, BUT FAILED AGAIN AFTER A FEW WEEKS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,614 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 137,066.

MY REPLACEMENT VAN HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 70,000 IN 2004 BECAUSE IT WENT OUT. NOW MY VAN HAS 150,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TRANSMISSION IN MY VAN. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONSIDERING IT ONLY HAS 80,000 ON THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION. WHEN ONE PURCHASES A VEHICLE THEY ARE TRUSTING THAT THEY ARE PURCHASING A VEHICLE THAT WILL BE RELIABLE. I JUST WANT HONDA TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTED PARTS. *TR

PURCHASED A USED 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY IN 2005; AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE THE VEH WAS STILL UNDER LIMITED MANUFACTURES WARRANTY. VERY WELL AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION RECALL. WE ARE NOW GOING ON OUR 4TH TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT SINCE THE PURCHASE.

WELL THIS ONE BARELY LASTED 12,000 MILES AND I AM COMPLETELY FED UP. MY WIFE TRANSPORTS MY REMAINING 4 SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN AROUND.

I WILL FIGHT FOR A NEW ONE, OR A COMPLETE REFUND OF THE MONEY SPENT! *TR

TRANSMISSION TROUBLE WITHIN 3 YEARS OF REPLACEMENT BY DEALER. *TR
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.
