Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleJan 17, 2020
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.
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.
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.

Latches/locks/linkages, Oct 5, 2004
DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR FAILS TO CLOSE COMPLETELY - SOMETIMES LEAVES APPROXIMATLEY A FOUR INCH GAP BETWEEN DOOR POST AND EDGE OF DOOR. DOOR MUST EITHER BE PUSHED CLOSED OR RE-OPENED COMPLETELY AND THEN CLOSED WITH PRESSURE ON REAR DOOR EDGE. OCCASIONALLY, DOOR WILL SEEM LOCKED (DASHBOARD OPEN DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT IS OFF) AND WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS, BOTH THE OPEN DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES AND CEILING MAP LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN TURN HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, I AM EXTREMLY CONCERNED THAT EITHER THE DOOR(S) WILL OPEN DURING DRIVING OR THE DOOR(S) WILL NOT OPEN DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I CANNOT BELIEVE HONDA WOULD SUBJECT ITSELF TO THIS TYPE OF POTENTIAL LIABILITY.*AK

POWER DOORS CONSISTENTLY FAIL TO OPERATE PROPERLY. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING AND, OFTEN, CANNOT BE SHUT MANUALLY. THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP, 2 DAYS AGO, THEY INFORMED US THEY WOULD REPLACE SOME OF THE DOOR PARTS. DESPITE 'FIXING' THE PROBLEM, THE DOOR WILL NOT SHUT AT ALL AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSORS SO IT NO LONGER BUZZES WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN. THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM. VAN HAS BEEN IN 12X FOR THIS PROBLEM. DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OFTEN DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL. *AK

Latches/locks/linkages, Jun 11, 2004
THE LEFT AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR NO LONGER CLOSES ALL THE WAY ON ITS OWN (MISSES BY ABOUT 1/32") AND TO KEEP THE BUZZER FROM SOUNDING CONTINUOUSLY, YOU HAVE TO "BUMP" THE DOOR CLOSED WITH YOUR HIP. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL, SHARP POINT THAT IS TRYING TO WORK ITS WAY THROUGH THIS DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. I TOOK IT TO HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY'VE SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND FIXING IT WOULD COST APPROX. $700. I ASKED "IF YOU'VE SEEN IT BEFORE, HOW COME THERE'S NOT A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM?", AND THEY SAID TO TALK TO THE MANAGER (WHO WASN'T THERE AT THE TIME), AND HE NEVER RETURNED MY CALL. ANYWAY, I NEVER GOT THE REPAIR DONE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE. THEN THE NEXT WEEK MY OTHER DOOR STARTED BUZZING CONTINUOUSLY, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS CLOSED ALL THE WAY. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THAT BUZZING WAS TO DISABLE THE DOOR ENTIRELY (USING THE DASHBOARD DOOR SWITCH). FOR SOME REASON, THAT PROBLEM STOPPED ALL BY ITSELF ABOUT A WEEK AFTER IT STARTED, AND HASN'T COME BACK....BUT I'M STILL STUCK WITH THE DOOR FROM HELL ON THE OTHER SIDE. SINCE THEN, I'VE GONE TO OTHER CAR COMPLAINT WEBSITES AND SEEN JUST HOW COMMON THIS PROBLEM IS WITH ODYSSEY SLIDING DOORS, AND THAT EVEN WHEN PEOPLE GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, IT SOMETIMES RETURNS WITH THE NEW INSTALLED EQUIPMENT TOO -- REQUIRING ANOTHER FIX FOR $700. CAN'T HONDA JUST RECALL THIS MODEL AND FIX THE PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL AT HONDA'S EXPENSE, IF IT'S SO WIDESPREAD?? I LOVE MY ODYSSEY, BUT THIS MAKES ME THINK TWICE ABOUT GETTING ANOTHER ONE (MY VERY FIRST ODYSSEY, A 1999 FIRST-YEAR MODEL, HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS (INCLUDING THE SAME SHARP POINT COMING THROUGH THE DOORS) THAT I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AFTER A YEAR AND 1/2 AND SAID THEY'D BETTER SWAP ME OUT WITH SOMETHING BETTER BECAUSE I WAS FED UP. THAT'S HOW I GOT MY "NEW IMPROVED" ODYSSEY.*AK

WE HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. GREAT CAR, EXCEPT THE POWER SLIDING DOOR LATCHES KEEP GIVING OUT. THIS HAPPENED DURING WARRANTY PERIOD TOO AND WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. HOWEVER, NO PARTS WERE REPLACED; THEY JUST RESET THE COMPUTER (CLEARED ERROR CODES). BUT THE PROBLEM RECURS. NOW HONDA HAS RECOMMENDED WE PAY $700 TO INSTALL NEW RE-DESIGNED LOCK MECHANISMS ( WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD). HONDA HAS NO OFFICIAL RECALL COVERING THIS PROBLEM FOR OUR VAN AS THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT BUILT DURING THE DEC-JAN PERIOD COVERED BY THE DOOR LATCH RECALL. BUT THE PROBLEM IS CLEARLY AFFECTING MANY MANY OTHER VEHICLES: WITNESS THE MANY HONDA SERVICE BULLETINS PUBLISHED ON THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN EITHER DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING. IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DOOR LATCHES, IF NOT REPLACED/REPAIRED, LEAVE THE DOORS SUBJECT TO OPENING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT SHOULD NOT BE THE OWNER'S PROBLEM TO FIX BY BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN REPEATEDLY TO CLEAR COMPUTER ERROR CODES OR PAY $700 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY LATCHES. I ASK THAT YOU REQUEST OR ORDER HONDA TO EXPAND THEIR DOOR LATCH RECALL TO CORRECT THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY PROBLEM. THANK YOU. JOHN SCHLOSSER JSS1@SGSI.COM. *AK

Seat belts, Latches/locks/linkages, Jan 31, 2004
1)POWER SLIDING DOORS DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. INTERMITTENTLY, DOORS WON'T OPEN, DOORS OPEN PARTIALLY AND STOP, AND DOORS CLOSE PARTIALLY AND STOP. MORE IMPORTANTLY, POWER DOORS DO NOT STOP AND RETRACT WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUAL. TODAY WAS THE FOURTH TIME THAT ONE OF MY CHILDREN HESITATED WHEN EXITING THE VAN AND WAS STUCK WITHIN THE DOORWAY WHEN THE DOOR WAS AUTOMATICALLY CLOSING. NOT ONLY DID THE DOOR NOT STOP AND RETRACT WHEN IT REACHED MY CHILD'S BODY, BUT DID NOT STOP EVEN WHEN I PLACED THE FULL PRESSURE OF MY BODY AGAINST THE DOOR. TODAY, MY DAUGHTER WAS THROWN OUT OF THE VAN TO THE GROUND AND I INCURRED BRUISING ON MY LEFT SHOULDER WHERE I HAD BRACED MY BODY AGAINST THE DOOR TO STOP IT FROM ADVANCING OVER HER BODY. I HAVE REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS TO THE DEALERSHIP TIME AND AGAIN. IN 2000, THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS BUT THE PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR WITH REGULARITY. 2)SOME OF THE SEAT BELTS, PARTICULARLY THE ONE IN THE SECOND ROW, DRIVER'S SIDE, JAMS CONSTANTLY. WE ARE VERY OFTEN UNABLE TO USE THAT SEAT BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT GETS STUCK WHEN BEING DRAWN OUT TO BE BUCKLED. 3)THE REAR HATCH IS SOMETIMES INOPERABLE. THE UNLOCK BUTTON OF THE REMOTE MUST BE PRESSED 5 OR MORE TIMES FOR THE HATCH TO UNLOCK, AND EVEN THEN, IT RELEASES ONLY PARTIALLY. SINCE THERE IS NO RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR, THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT AND COULD BE DANGEROUS, IN COMBINATION WITH THE DOORS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *JB

BOTH OF MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY SLIDING DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED TODAY. THEY GET STUCK VERY OFTEN. IT SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO MOISTURE GETTING INTO THE DOOR BECAUSE THEY GET STUCK MOST OFTEN AFTER BAD WEATHER. THE DANGER HERE IS IF THERE AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOORS CAN NOT BE OPENED TO GET OUT A CHILD FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE.*AK

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
