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.

Power train, Mar 7, 2009
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION, THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE REPLACE AND THEY SAID THAT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DO. I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME WHILE I AM DRIVING, ESPECIALLY I USE FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAYS UP TO 95%. THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPEN TO THE TRANSMISSION WHEN IT STARTS BREAKING APART AND FELL OF ON THE HIGHWAYS OR FREEWAYS... THAT IS A REALLY BIG PROBLEM. *TR

ANOTHER 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY P0740 TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA HAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED KNOWN TRANSMISSION DEFECTS IN 2002 AND 2003 MODELS. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY 2000 MODELS ONLY GOT AN WARRANTY EXTENSION. (UN)LUCKILY, MY TRANSMISSION LASTED LONG ENOUGH TO PASS THE EXTENDED MILEAGE LIMIT. HONDA SHOULD RECALL THE 2000 TRANSMISSIONS AS THEY DID WITH OTHER MODELS. *TR

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.

Power train, Nov 10, 2008
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. MY FIRST VAN WAS COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER SAFETY FACTORS. 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.

2000 ODYSSEY, FULLY SERVICED BY DEALER SINCE PURCHASE. RECENTLY TRANSMISSION STARTED GIVING A PROBLEM SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND ALSO GOT A CHECK ENGINE SIGN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY (100,000 MILES) FROM HONDA AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. LATER THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 109,000 FROM THEIR STANDARD WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS 141,000 MILES. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA -- BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THIS MODEL YEAR HAS PROBLEMS AND THERE WAS ALREADY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN PLACE. I THINK HONDA QUALITY AND SERVICE ARE GOING DOWN. *TR
Power train, Jul 19, 2008
PURCHASED HONDA ODYSSEY NEW IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2000. VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED HARD WHILE BRAKING SINCE NEW. THOUGHT IT WAS HOW THE VEHICLE OPERATED. I GOT A POSTCARD IN THE MAIL A FEW YEARS AGO STATING HONDA WAS GOING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I CURRENTLY HAVE 136,000 MILES ON THE VAN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 2 WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE TO HAVE INSPECTION DONE & TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO AND HONDA SAID IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE DEALER (PIAZZA HONDA OF READING, PA) REPLACED IT FOR FREE. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VAN FROM THE INSPECTION AND THE GARAGE WOULD NOT PASS THE INSPECTION. THE ERROR CODE THAT CAME UP WAS "PO740" AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO VERIFY. I TOOK THE VAN FROM THE GARAGE TO THE DEALER AND GAVE THEM THE RECEIPT FROM MY INSPECTION (WHICH HAD THE ERROR CODE ON IT). THE SERVICE GUY TOOK THE RECEIPT WITH HIM INTO THE GARAGE BAY, TALKED TO THE MANAGER AND CAME BACK OUT. HE TOLD ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD COST ME $2500-$4500 TO REPLACE IT. I ASKED HIM IF THEY WERE DOING ANY "GOODWILL" WITH THE ON GOING TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND HE SAID NO. I ALSO ASKED SPECIFICALLY IF THEY WOULD SPLIT THE COST AND HE SAID NO. I HAVE HAD THE VAN SERVICED SEVERAL TIME AT THAT SPECIFIC HONDA DEALER AND NOTHING WAS EVER SAID TO ME ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. HONDA EXPECTS ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION ON A KNOWN DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING FOR WORK IN MY HONDA ODYSSEY (2000) , MY TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND I EXPERIENCED "BUCKING" AS I ACCELERATED FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. THE ENGINE WOULD ALSO REV. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ALREADY ON FROM A PREVIOUS PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS NOT RESOLVED FOR 2 YEARS. I BROUGHT MY ODYSSEY INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE (P0740) AND AN EMISSION PROBLEM (T1457). I CALLED HONDA AMERICA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD PAY 25% OF THE BILL AND I WOULD COVER 75%. I AM NOT SATISFIED SINCE 2000 ODYSSEY'S HAVE A HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I WILL HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED HOWEVER FELT THAT MY SAFETY WAS JEOPARDIZED DURING MY TRAVELS AS I HAD DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND THROUGHOUT MAJOR CITIES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE WAS A SLIP IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT HE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST WEAR AND TEAR OF THE VEHICLE. SOMEONE INFORMED THE CONTACT OF A RECALL, BUT HE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. HE CALLED HONDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT DUE TO A TECHNICALITY REGARDING THE WARRANTY OR TIME LIMITS, HE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR THE REPAIR.

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY EX - EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION SLIP, FOLLOWED BY A JERK WHILE DRIVING. I THOUGHT IT WOULD NEED A FLUSH, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NOT REACHED THE HONDA MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. HAD THE MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND FLUSHED OUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH NEW HONDA ATF. ISSUE STARTED ARISING A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE FLUSH AND IT BECAME A PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AGAIN AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS ROUGHLY CLOSE TO 82K MILES AND DEALERSHIP STATED THIS IS OUT OF THE EXTENDED 7YR WARRANTY PHASE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER THE CLASS LAWSUIT FOR '99-'01 ODYSSEY MODEL (HTTP://WWW.HONDATRANSMISSIONSETTLEMENT.COM/PHP/LOGIN.PHP), WHICH EXTENDS THE WARRANTY TO 109K MILES. HOWEVER, MANLY HONDA OF SANTA ROSA DENIED COVERAGE AND IT WOULD COST ~$4K FOR REPAIR. WE ONLY USE THE ODYSSEY FOR WEEKEND FAMILY DRIVES OR PICK UP FURNITURE/SUPPLIES FROM COSTCO. I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT HONDA WOULD BE CONSIDERATE AND VEHICLE VERY STURDY, BUT NOW I WOULD HAVE TO THINK TWICE BEFORE PURCHASING ANOTHER HONDA. P.S. I'VE OWNED 4 HONDA/ACURA VEHICLES IN THE PAST AND NEVER HAD AN ISSUE, BUT THIS ISSUE IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR
