I AM TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE MODELS AND THAT I WOULD COST ME OVER $3,200.00 OUT OF PICKET TO FIX AND THEN, (I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO HONDA FOR RECALL REPAIRS, BECAUSE IT IS STILL UNDER THE RECALL STATIC AND HONDA HAS NEVER FIXED THIS PROBLEM. AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER I WASN'T TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE ODYSSEY'S AND THERE WASN'T ANY DEFEATS REPORTED ON THE VEHICLE FIX SHEETS. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE (LEFT) SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLE BROKEN. SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS. A SEARCH OF FORUMS REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HONDA TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR ENGINEERING. TSB 02-059 PER HONDA. *TR

THE OTHER DRIVER COMPLAIN THAT HE WAS BLINDED BY THE SUN AND RAN INTO ME ON MY RIGHT SIDE OF VAN. MY INSURANCE ASKED IF MY AIRBAGS HAD OPENED THEY DIDN'T. THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS DAMAGED AND THE BACK SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS COMPLETELY DAMAGED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN IT AND THE OPENED DOOR DING WOULD NOT STOP RINGING. I AM CONCERNED WHY THE BAG DIDN'T OPENED? *TR

I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AND OIL CHANGE AND ITS 60,000 MILE CHECK UP. I WAS TOLD TWO OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE CRACKED AND/OR BROKEN. ABOUT $900 TO REPLACE BOTH OF THEM. UPON LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA ODYSSEYS AT ABOUT THAT MILEAGE AROUND THAT YEAR. WITH SO MANY WITH THE PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A MODULE IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAUSING IT TO DEPLOY ON ITS OWN. THE ADDITIONAL PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING IS THE " SRS " LIGHT IS ON WHICH AS I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA MECHANIC THAT IT MEANS THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED . THEY ALSO REFUSED TO FIX THE LIGHT BEING ON BECAUSE THEY SAID THE 2 PROBLEMS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME MORE OF A SAFTY HAZZARD THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT INFLATE WHEN YOU WOULD NEED IT AS APPOSED TO GOING OFF BY ITSELF. THEY ARE MAKING ME BRING IT BACK ANOTHER DAY SO THEY CAN CHARGE $115.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE PLUS OTHER PARTS WHAT IS NEEDED. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM THE HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION ABOUT THE RECALL ON AIRBAGS FOR 2004 ODYSSEYS, AND I CONTACTED THE JEFFREY HONDA DEALER, IN ROSEVILLE, MICHIGAN. A CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS, BUT IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A MONTH AND NO ONE HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME. ARE THE AIRBAGS OKAY, OR DO WE STILL NEED TO GET THEM FIXED? IF WE DO HAVE TO GET THEM FIXED, WHEN WILL THE HONDA DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THIS? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! *TR

AS MY HUSBAND ACCELERATED, THE STEERING LOST POWER. HE COULD GIVE THE ENGINE GAS BUT COULD NOT MANAGE THE CAR. SOMEHOW HE WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR AROUND AND GET THE CAR BACK TO OUR MECHANIC. HE CHECKED IT OUT AND DETERMINED THAT INDEED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. *TR

WE HAVE A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY, BOUGHT IT USED IN THE SUMMER OF 2009 WITH 79,766 MILE. NOW AT 91,160 MILE, IT'S HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. ON OCTOBER 12, 2013, WE DROVE THE VAN TO THE STORE AND BACK HOME JUST FINE. ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 14TH WHEN WE TRIED TO DRIVE THE VAN AGAIN, IT WOULD NOT REVERSE OR DRIVE AT ALL. THE ENGINES STARTS UP JUST FINE IN PARKING AND IN NEUTRAL GEAR. AS SOON AS THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED TO D OR R, THE ENGINES STALLED. PLUS THE D DRIVE LIGHT WAS FLASHING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND THAT OWNERS OF 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION FAILING. ON OCTOBER 22, I CALLED TO HONDA AMERICA TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOME ASSISTANCE FOR HELPING WITH THE REPAIR. I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. THAT SAME MORNING, I HAD OUR ODYSSEY VAN TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSIS OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NEVER DROVE A CAR THAT TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL. IF HONDA DOESN'T ASSIST ME WITH THE REPAIR, THIS WILL BE THE LAST HONDA I WILL EVER BUY! *TR

DRIVERS SIDE TOP SLIDING DOOR TRACK IS COMING LOOSE THE SPOT WELDS ARE BRAKING LOOSE FROM THE BODY. THE SLIDING DOOR IS A LITTLE LOSE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL BRAKE LOOSE COMPLETELY AND THE DOOR WILL FALL OFF WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. THIS IS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY LX. I HAVE CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY BUT THEY SAY THAT I HAVE TO VISIT A DEALER FIRST BEFORE THEY WILL DECIDE ANYTHING. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN 2ND GEAR WITH A SLIGHT LOAD I.E. GOING UP A SLIGHT HILL. IF YOU ACCELERATE THE SLIPPING/SHUDDER GOES AWAY. HONDA WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE ME SPECIFIC INFORMATION AS TO THE VIN NUMBERS AFFECTED BY THEIR 2004 TRANSMISSION RECALL BUT COULD ONLY TELL ME MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SECOND GEAR SLIPPING FAILURE WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE, THE INFORMATION I READ STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS WITH OIL FLOW TO THE SECOND GEAR CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. IT SEEMS THE 2004 RECALL SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED MORE VIN NUMBERS. MY VEHICLE HAS HIGH MILEAGE NOW AND IS OUTSIDE HONDA'S ASSISTANCE PARAMETERS BUT IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL MAYBE MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT WERE IT WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR INSPECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

I DID NOT KNOW THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS AN ISSUE ON HONDA ODYSSEY BUT I ALREADY REPLACE ONE SO FAR ON MY VAN AFTER A MONTH I TOOK MY VAN FOR A IGNITION RECALL AND OVERALL THE VAN DID NOT ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL AFTER GETTING IT BACK FROM THE DEALER BUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE ENGINE KEEP SHUTTING DOWN IN A LOW IDLE, NO ACCIDENTS SO FAR ONLY MAD PEOPLE BEHIND ME WHEN MY VAN STALLS. CAN YOU (NHTSA) INVESTIGATE OR LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS A HONDA ISSUE OR MY, ONE OTHER PROBLEM IS SUSPENSION IS TO NOISY FEELS LIKE LEAVING WHEELS BEHIND I HOPE YOU TAKE MATTER ON ALL COMPLAINTS BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL TRANSMISSION GEARS STOPPED WORKING. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE ODYSSEY WAS VERY WELL MAINTAINED. IT COSTS $4000 TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION AND $500 FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE. HONDA ODYSSEY STINKS!!! *TR

THE KEY WOULD FREQUENTLY FALL OUT OF THE LOCK, OR GET STUCK IN THE LOCK. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE INTERLOCK LEVER IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. WE WERE UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY BRING OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS OUR SOLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. WHILE I WAS AWAY IN CALIFORNIA ATTENDING MY AUNT'S MEMORIAL, THE KEY TO THE VEHICLE FAILED TO FUNCTION WHETHER IN PARK OR OTHERWISE. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER BROKE THE KEY OFF IN THE LOCK TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL, BECAUSE THE SWITCH WOULD NOT PROPERLY RELEASE THE KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER TO APPLY THE RECALL REPAIR TO THE INTERLOCK LEVER *AND ANY OTHER NECESSARY PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH* PER THE RECALL NOTICE. AFTER REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE DECIDED THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE AND REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PART OF THE REPAIR COST, EVEN THOUGH THE NOTICE CLEARLY STATES THAT REPAIRS TO THE INTERLOCK LEVER AND *ANY NECESSARY PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH* SHOULD BE COVERED AT NO COST. [XXX] IN THE CASE MANAGEMENT DIVISION OF AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATE (HE REFUSED TO GIVE ME HIS LAST NAME, BUT INDICATED THAT HE WAS THE ONLY [XXX] IN THAT DIVISION) AND [XXX] AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, CROWN HONDA OF GREENSBORO, BOTH REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS REPAIR AND FORCED US TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR THE REPAIR IN ORDER TO RELEASE MY VAN. THE RECALL NOTICE CLEARLY STATES THAT NOT ONLY THE FAULTY INTERLOCK LEVER BUT ANY NECESSARY PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD BE REPLACED AT NO COST. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THERE WERE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT WAS STILL SPECIFICALLY STATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE THAT THIS WOULD BE COVERED AT NO COST. APPARENTLY, HONDA DOES NOT FEEL THAT IT HAS TO HONOR THE RECALL NOTICE IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER MINOR MECHANICAL ISSUES EXISTING IN THE IGNITION ASSEMBLY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE PAINT IS NOW PEELING OFF THE CAR. IT SHOULD NOT DO THAT.

RECEIVED NEWS FROM A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT ALL 4 ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN FOR A COST OF $925. WHEN LOOKING FOR PARTS HAPPEN TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF CHATTER REGARDING ENGINE MOUNTS ON SEVERAL MODEL YEARS OF THE ODYSSEY. LESSON LEARNED... PERHAPS CHECK THIS SITE BEFORE BUYING ANY VEHICLE. SEEMS HONDA SHOULD COVER SOME OF THE COST AT LEAST. *JS

PAINT IS FALLING OFF THE VEHICLE. EVEN WIND ON THE HIGHWAY IS MAKING IT FALL OFF. *TR

ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKEN. BOTH SIDE MOUNT AND FRONT MOUNT. *TR

TERRIBLE WET TRACTION IN RAIN AND SNOW. COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO GO WITHOUT A PUSH IN 1.5 INCHES OF SNOW ON FLAT, GRAVEL DRIVEWAY. FROM A STOP, TIRES SPIN ON WET ROADS. VEHICLE VEERS SIDEWAYS AS TIRES TRY TO GRIP. HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT PULLING INTO TRAFFIC EXPECTING VEHICLE TO GO AND TIRES SPIN OUT ON WET ROADS. *TR

I WAS COMING OUT OF APARTMENT PARKING LOT AND SUDDENLY CAR STOPPED. I HAVE TO TOWED CAR TO HERB CHAMBER OF HONDA IN WESTBOROUGH, MA. TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT IT IS A COMPUTER FAILURE. I AM NOT SURE WHY COMPUTER FAIL AS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT MY USED NOT TO START AFTER PARKING. TO START I HAD TO INSERT KEY AND MOVE GEAR FROM PARKING TO D1 AND MOVE IT BACK TO P AND IT STARTED ALL THE TIME. I NOT SURE THIS IS A COMPUTER ISSUE. THEY ARE CHARGING ME $1500.00 FOR THIS. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP TO RESOLVE THIS. SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR I AM HAVING ISSUES, MY CAR PAINT IS PEELING OFF TOO, WITHOUT CORROSION OR SCRATCH. *TR

DRIVER SEAR FAILURE BROKE AND RECURRED AGAIN,5 MONTHS LATER. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS IS MY SECOND HONDA ODYSSEY I GOT FROM THIS DEALER. UP DATE DRIVER SEAT BROKE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED BY THE DEALER THEY STATED BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT MOTOR MOUNTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT DID NOT CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BROUGHT ODYSSEY TO DEALER FOR RECENT RECALL. AFTER RECALL REPAIR, DEALER SERVICE RECOMMENDED FRONT MOTOR MOUNT BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $400. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SEVERAL CUSTOMERS RECEIVING SIMILAR RECOMMENDATIONS, AND ONE CUSTOMER RECOMMENDED INFORMING NHTSA. IS THIS A PROBLEM WITH HONDAS? *TR

CAR SEEMED TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN WHEN APPROACHING STOP SIGNAL. TRIED TO PULL AWAY WHEN LIGHT WAS GREEN, BUT REMAINED STATIONARY AFTER PRESSING ON GAS/ACCELERATOR THREE TO FOUR TIMES. FINALLY WAS ABLE CREEP ALONG UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO STEER INTO A BANK PARKING LOT. HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED ;PROBLEM AS FAULTY TRANSMISSION DUE TO OVERHEATED/BURNTOUT OF SOLENOIDS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED UPON ENTERING THE FREEWAY. VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND FORCED TO PULL OVER. ALMOST REAR ENDED BY OTHER CARS ALSO ENTERING THE FREEWAY. HONDA ODYSSEYS ARE KNOWN TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THIS BODY STYLE 1999 TO 2004 ARE DEFECTIVE. FROM MY READINGS A LARGE QUANTITY OF THE TRANSMISSIONS FAILED AT 80,000 SO AT LEAST WE MADE IT TO 125,000 MILES. I REGULARLY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. SPENT $3200 AT AAMCO GETTING IT FIXED. *TR

TWO SEVERAL SECTIONS OF PAINT STARTED PEELING OFF WITHOUT CORROSION OR SCRATCH. AREAS AFFECTED: HOOD, ROOF, NEAR THE BACK WINDOWS AND SLIDING DOORS. THE PEELING ARE MAJOR ON THE ROOF. THIS SEEMS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE DARK BLUE HONDA ODYSSEYS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUT SAID BECAUSE IT'S 9 YEARS OLD THEY WEREN'T OBLIGATED TO FIX IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE HOOD BECAME DETACHED FROM THE LATCH AND CRASHED INTO THE WINDSHIELD, DESTROYING THE GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDSHIELD AND THE HOOD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THE ROOF WOULD NEED REPAIRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

I TOOK OUR 2004 ODYSSEY MINI VAN TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHILE THERE, THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THREE OF THE FOUR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN, RESULTING IN A $858.78 REPAIR. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON IN VEHICLES WITH 100,000. WE'VE HAD CARS MUCH OLDER THAN THIS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM! IF IT'S "NOT UNCOMMON" IN HONDA ODYSSEYS, I THINK IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. PERHAPS ANOTHER RECALL FROM HONDA IS DUE. *TR

ABOUT MAY 2013, I NOTICED THE PAINT PEELING FROM THE AREA NEAR THE BACK WINDOWS. WHEN I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN AT HONDA ROSEVILLE, HE JUST SAID IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR. IT CAN'T BE WEAR AND TEAR IN THE UPPER FRAME OF THE WINDOWS. IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED SOON, THE PAINT WILL CONTINUE PEELING UP TO THE ROOF AREA. THROUGH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT PEELING PAINT ON THIS MODEL AND COLOR OF VEHICLE. *TR

TOOK IN OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI-VAN TO FIX OPEN RECALLS. DEALER FOUND A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH A THING HAPPEN TO ANY VEHICLE AND WAS SURPRISED THAT IT WOULD FAIL AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I COME TO FIND THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM FOR THE HONDA ODYSSEY. *TR

WE USED HONDA ODYSSEY [2004] DAILY FOR COMMUTING (NEVER TOWED ANYTHING AND DON'T HAUL ANYTHING). THE CAR WOULD START MOVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN WOULD STOP MOVING FORWARD. THE CAR WAS SUDDENLY STUCK IMMEDIATELY AFTER CROSSING THE INTERSECTION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR IN ANY DIRECTION AND STUCK ON THE ROAD. ON DUTY POLICE OFFICER INFORMED THAT I NEED TO MOVE THE CAR AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HE WANTED TO CALL THE TOWING TRUCK, BUT AT THAT TIME I TRIED SHIFTING FROM TO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD FOR FEW HUNDRED FEET AND AGAIN SAME THING NO FORWARD MOTION. AT THAT TIME I WAS ON DOWN THE HILL AND SO ABLE TO PULL THE CAR NEAR ONE BUSINESS PARK. LATER, I TOWED THE CAR TO NEAR BY SHOP AND FOUND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. WHEN I FOUND RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE, HONDA MOTOR COMPANY SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR. HONDA DEALER IS CHARGING $5,600 TO FIX THIS. 8TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V573000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). TWO MONTHS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN UNDERIVABLE FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-630 IN LITTLE ROCK, IN MODERATE TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS FORCED TO COAST THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. AS SOON AS I LOST POWER, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH FLASHED. IF THE TRAFFIC HAD BEEN HEAVIER, THE OUTCOME MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN AS FAVORABLE. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A NOISE, AS OF 3/21/13. I HAD TAKEN IT TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND IT IS RING AND PINION AND IT IS QUITE EXPENSIVE SO WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT ON THE INTERNET CAME ACROSS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL BACK IN 2004 I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED AND NOW IT IS COSTING ME SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS I EXPECT HONDA TO PAY FOR THIS NOT ME. I LOVE MY VAN AND BOUGHT IT BECAUSE OF ITS DEPENDABILITY AND RELIABILITY AND NOW I AM HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN. I EXPECT SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME ASAP AND HONDA TO COVER THE COST. *TR

ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BEFORE....KEY WOULD ALMOST GET STUCK AND NOT BE ABLE TO START CAR. THEN, IT GOT STUCK OFFICIALLY. STUCK!!!!!!!!! IT WILL NOT TURN,MOVE AT ALL. CAR IS LOCKED UP. CURRY HONDA SAYS IT REQUIRES A NEW IGNITION SWITCH. $400.00+ THIS CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE SEEING AS ONLINE SEARCHES HAVE AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF HONDA ODYSSEYS REQUIRING IGNITION SWITCHES. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN ON A RECALL FOR SHIFT INTERLOCK, WAS TOLD ALL MY ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ME 1000.00. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS, THE MILEAGE ON MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY IS 101434. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS COST. HONDA IS KNOWN FOR THERE RELIABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY, SHOULD STAND BEHIND THERE VEHICLES. I HAD TO CALL AROUND TO SEE WHAT IT WOULD COST AND IS BEING FIXED. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THIS BUT I AM FORCED TO. I PURCHASED THE VAN BECAUSE OF THE RELIABILITY OF THERE VEHICLES AND NOW THIS. SO WHAT IS HONDA GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? ANOTHER COMPLAINT # IS 10425453. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME 700.00 AND I WANT A SETTLEMENT AMOUNT TO COVER THIS COST. I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE ON THIS MATTER AND SOONER THE BETTER. *TR

DEAR SIR/MADAM, WE OWN A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY EX AND BOUGHT IT NEW AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WE MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO THE SPECS BY THE MANUFACTURER. EARLIER TODAY WE BROUGHT IT TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP TO GET A REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE BROKEN DOWN AND SINCE THE MILEAGE IS STILL UNDER 100K, IT IS UNCOMMON TO HAVE THAT. THE STORE OWNER ALSO MENTIONED THAT HE NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER HONDA ODYSSEYS HAVE THE SIMILAR PROBLEM. WE WENT ONLINE TO RESEARCH THE MATTER AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE ACTUALLY A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING SIMILAR ISSUE FROM OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS PARTICULARLY FROM 2003 TO 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. SINCE WE DID NOT FIND A RECALL FROM HONDA OF AMERICA, WE WANT TO REPORT THE PROBLEM HERE TO BE TAKEN A LOOK UPON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
