DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD HAS WAVES THROUGHOUT CAUSING VISUAL IMPAIRMENT WHILE DRIVING. WAVES ARE VERY PROMINENT ON THE PASSANGER SIDE, BUT LESS OF AN ISSUE BEING THAT THEY ARE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. ONE PROMINENT WAVE THROUGH DRIVER'S SIDE CAUSES HEADACHES AND DIZZINESS DUE TO OPTICAL EFFECT. TAKEN IN TO DEALERSHIP WHO ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY REFUSED A REPLACEMENT SAYING THAT THEY ARE ALL DEFECTIVE, SO THERE WOULD BE NO IMPROVEMENT.

THE PIECE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO GET THE WATER TO GO OFF THE TOP OF THE VAN INSTEAD OF THE SIDE WINDOWS, IS BAD. MY DEALER SAID THAT THE MAKER KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY YET. DUE TO THE BAD PIECES, THE WINDSHIELD WHISTLES ONCE YOU HIT 45 MPH OR HIGHER. I AM TAKING IT IN NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. IN ADDITION TO BEING DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY RESALE VALUE WHEN THE TIME COMES, IF A PROSPECTIVE OWNER TEST DRIVES IT AND HEARS THAT SOUND. VERY FRUSTRATED AND CAN'T FIND ON THE INTERNET ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPT SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD OTHERS WITH MY VAN THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, SO I AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHY IT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED ON A BROADER SCALE BY THE COMPANY. *JB

WE BOUGHT HONDA 2005 ODYSSEY LAST JUNE. ON OCT 4, WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS GOING 40 MPH WHEN SOMEONE IN A FORD F250 PULLED OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME WITH THE SPEED OF 15 MPH (ACCORDING TO THE POLICE REPORT). THE FORD TRUCK CRASHED INTO THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF THE VAN. ONLY THE TWO FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY 2-YEAR-OLD BOY WAS SITTING RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVER' SEAT. HE WAS BUCKLED IN A 5-POINT CAR SEAT. HIS SIDE SLIDING DOOR'S WINDOW (TINTED) SHATTERED AND THE BROKEN GLASS FLEW INTO HIS FACE WITH FORCE. HIS FACE WAS COVERED IN BLOOD AT ONCE. AT THE ER, THE DOCTOR HAD TO USE X-RAY AND DUG OUT CHUNKS OF GLASSES OUT OF HIS FACE. HE GOT 30 PLUS STITCHES AND WILL NEED TO HAVE PLASTIC SURGERIES LATER DUE TO FLESH LOSS AND BIG CUTS ON THE LEFT-SIDE OF HIS FACE. IF THE WINDOW DIDN'T SHATTER AND FLY WITH FORCE, MY BOY SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNHURT IN THIS ACCIDENT. AS A FAMILY VEHICLE, ODYSSEY SHOULD HAVE SHATTER-PROOF WINDOWS. WE BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND WOULD LIKE TO START AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR FROM YOU. WE STILL HAVE THE VAN AT THE REPAIR SHOP UNTOUCHED. THE VAN IS GOING TO BE TOTALED. IF YOU NEED TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE VAN, WE WILL BE HAPPY TO DO SO. I HAVE CONTACTED THE SALES PERSON WHOM WE BOUGHT THE VAN FROM, BUT HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK ON THIS ISSUE.

HELLO - I HAVE A 2005 ODYSSEY THAT MIGHT HAVE AND OTHERS MIGHT HAVE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES. A WHILE BACK I FOUND A LOOSE BOLT IN THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR AND ANOTHER BOLT THAT WAS NOT TIGHTENED AT THE FACTORY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS QUALITY CONTROL BREAKDOWN. WHILE MY PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED, SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES AND IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AS A RESULT OF REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO FIX MY VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS ALSO THAT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE FOUND SIX OTHER VEHICLES WITH LOOSE BOLTS IN THE CAR. IF SOMEONE IS IN A POSITION TO DO THIS, WHAT ELSE WOULD THIS PERSON POTENTIALLY HAVE DONE TO THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS. THIS MAKES ME WONDER IF SOMEONE AT THE FACTORY WAS DOING THIS AS A JOKE OR IF THERE ARE OTHER POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES RELATED TO THIS FINDING. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE DVD/NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THE REAR CAMERA OFTEN STAYS ON WHILE MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS QUITE A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER. I HAVE BEEN WORKING THESE ISSUES WITH HONDA CUSTOMER CARE FOR THE LAST 5 WEEKS WITH NO PROGRESS. ALSO, THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FIVE TIMES TO HAVE THIS LOOKED AT. I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHILE IT WAS IN HAVING THE DVD/NAV PROBLEM LOOKED AND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FIXED (FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE), THREE ADDITIONAL RECALLS WERE FOUND. ALSO, THE REAR VIEW MIRROR COULD NOT BE FIXED AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. HAD TO BRING IT BACK IN THE FOLLOWING DAY SINCE IT WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY (HAD WIND NOISE). THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED. I AM NOW ON VACATION AND THE WINDSHIELD WASHERS STOPPED WORKING. THE PROBLEMS THAT CONTINUE TO MOUNT UP ON THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME QUESTION ITS OVERALL SAFETY AND ROAD WORTHINESS. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODESSEY. I REQUESTED A MOON ROOF AS A HONDA OPTION. I WAS NOT TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT AN OPTION ON THE MODEL THAT I HAD SELECTED. I WAS GIVEN AN AFTER MARKET MOON ROOF. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE AN OVER HEAD DVD PLAYER INSTALLED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE MAIN OVERHEAD BEAM WAS CUT TO INSTALL THE MOON ROOF AND THAT WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE BEAM WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE DVD PLAYER. I BEGAN TO QUESTION THE QUALITY OF WORK THAT WAS DONE TO INSTALL THE MOON ROOF AND I WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS AFTER MARKET. I ASKED THE DEALER AND HONDA TO CERTIFY THAT THE INSTALLATION WAS SAFE. THEY BOTH REFUSED. I HAVE SINCE EXPLAINED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IN TURN OVER SITUATIONS. HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I AM VERY CONCERN ABOUT THE INSTALLATION AND I WANT HONDA TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT HONDA BUT I WAS SOLD A HONDA VEHICLE WITH AN AFTER MARKET MOON ROOF. NOT ONLY THIS BUT I DON'T HAVE A HONDA WARRANTY ON THE MOONROOF. THE ONLY WARRANTY I HAVE IS WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND I ALREADY HAVE 2 CHILDREN. THE MINIVAN IS A VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I DON'T THINK THE MINI VAN IS SAFE IN CASE OF A CRASH OR ROLL OVER. I SAY THIS BECAUSE IF THE BEAM IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD A DVD PLAYER THEN IN CASE OF A ROLL OVER OR CRASH THE ROOF WILL COME IN ON ME AND MY CHILDREN. *AK *BF *NM
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured June 23, 2004, through September 4, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the fuel pump strainer cover may deteriorate allowing fuel to leak out.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Parts to permanently repair the affected vehicles are not currently available. Honda will notify owners with an interim letter during May 2014. A second notice was mailed to owners October 6, 2014 when the remedy became available. Any vehicles that are currently leaking from the fuel pump cover will get a replacement, original cover. All vehicles, including those receiving the interim repair, will get an improved cover when they are available. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. The recall numbers associated with this campaign are JD9 (inspection and/or preliminary part replacement) and JE0 (final parts replacement).
HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ODYSSEY AND ACURA RL VEHICLES. BRAKE FLUID CONTAINING POLYMERS IS USED THAT ACTS AS A LUBRICANT FOR CERTAIN BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IF REPLACEMENT BRAKE FLUID IS USED THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN SUCH POLYMERS, OR THAT CONTAINS ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS, A PART OF THE RUBBER SEAL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY BECOME DRY, AND THE SEAL MAY CURL DURING MOVEMENT OF THE PISTON. IF THIS OCCURS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID COULD SLOWLY LEAK FROM THE SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND OVERTIME A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005 ODYSSEY TOURING VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH POWER OPERATED REAR LIFTGATE. THE POWER LIFTGATE GAS STRUTS MAY DETERIORATE UNEXPECTEDLY EARLY. STRUTS THAT HAVE WORN OUT PREMATURELY MAY FAIL TO HOLD THE POWER LIFTGATE IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION, CAUSING THE POWER LIFTGATE TO CLOSE UNEXPECTEDLY.

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, A COIL WIRE INSIDE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MAY BREAK, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO LOSE POWER. IF THE FUEL PUMP BECOMES INOPERATIVE, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE FUEL PUMP LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE COULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING, AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 2, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
THE FRONTAL AIR BAG SYSTEM HAS TWO EXTERNAL IMPACT SENSORS. ON CERTAIN MINI VANS,SOME SENSORS WERE INSUFFICIENTLY SEALED DURING MANUFACTURING. IF WATER ENTERS A SENSOR, CORROSION CAN OCCUR. CORRODED SENSORS COULD SHORT CIRCUIT INTERNALLY. IF SENSORS FAIL, THE SRS WARNING LAMP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL TURN ON AND REMAIN ILLUMINATED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FRONT IMPACT SENSOR FAILURE COULD CAUSE A DELAY IN, OR LOSS OF, FRONTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, WHICH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A FRONTAL CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT IMPACT SENSORS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 30, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, A LOOSE TERMINAL IN THE MAIN FUSE BOX MAY CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP TO LOSE POWER. IF THE FUEL PUMP BECOMES INOPERATIVE, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START.
Consequence & remedy

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL CAN CAUSE A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
Remedy: OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED BY TELEPHONE ON JANUARY 25, 2005, AND ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLES TOWED TO THEIR DEALERS AND HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2005.
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) USES A SENSOR ON EACH WHEEL TO DETECT WHEEL SPEED. SOME SENSORS ON THE REAR WHEELS WERE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY, WHICH MEANS THE SENSOR MAY REPORT THE WRONG WHEEL SPEED TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE DRIVER COULD EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF BRAKE FORCE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. IF AN INCORRECT GAP IS DETECTED, THE SENSOR WILL BE REMOVED AND THE KNUCKLE CHECKED FOR CROSS THREADING DAMAGE. IF DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE KNUCKLE WILL BE REPLACED. IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE SENSOR WILL BE REINSTALLED CORRECTLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 12, 2004.
