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.

THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN/CLOSE USING ANY OF THE CONTROLS. WE HAVE TO CLOSE IT MANUALLY BUT IT WON'T LATCH COMPLETELY SO WE ARE FORCED TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR SLIGHTLY AJAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME WITH MY TWO DAUGHTERS SITTING THERE. BECAUSE THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPEN WE HAVE TO TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER SWITCH TO THE SLIDING DOORS TO AVOID HAVING THE CONSTANT BUZZING NOISE. THIS MEANS THEY ARE LOCKED IN THE BACK SEAT AND UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN AFTER TRIPS TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA. *TR

ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE, BUT AFTER DOING A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH I DISCOVERED IT IS COMMON IN ODYSSEYS. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLES WITHOUT BEING CONCERNED FOR THE STABILITY OF OUR ENGINE AND TRANNY. THIS JUST SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALER REVEALS CODE P0420. THEY (RUSS DARROW MILWAUKEE, WI) ARE SAYING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS WELL AS AN O2 SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED COST $1,200. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 110,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. STICKING SLIDING DOOR'S IN WINTER (RUSS DARROW & DAVID HOBBS MILWAUKEE, WI) HAVE ALL THE SERIVICE RECORDS ON THE STICKING DOOR ISSUSE AND THEY WHERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE IT. DEALER'S FIX FOR STICKING SLIDING DOOR WAS TO LUBE THE SLIDING DOOR EVERY WINTER INSTEAD OF FINDING A SOLUTION. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE 2002 AND NOW I JUST LUBE THE DOOR'S MY SELF INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME AT DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER. *TR

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2000 SLIDING DOORS SINCE THE YEAR BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO FIX IT. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN TRY WHEN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. BOTH SLIDING DOORS WORK OFF AND ON, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED ANY MORE WITHOUT HAVING TO MANUALLY PUSH IT FROM THE OUT SIDE. TO KEEP THEM FROM BUZZING WE TURN THE DOOR CONTROL SWITCH OFF, WHICH IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. NO ONE CAN OPEN THE DOORS UNTIL THE SWITCH IS TURNED BACK ON. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN EVERYONE IN THE CAR HAS TO GET OUT THE DRIVERS FRONT SEAT BECAUSE NEITHER SLIDING DOOR WILL WORK CONSISTENTLY. IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO EXIT THE CAR QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY. THE DOORS CAN BE OPENED MANUALLY ONLY IF YOU ARE A STRONG ADULT. *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.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR, A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT WE HAVE HAD CONTINUAL "DESIGN FLAW" PROBLEMS WITH FROM VIRTUALLY THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAD TO PAY CLOSE TO $535 TO GET THIS DOOR LATCH REPLACED!! AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CORP. IN TORRANCE REFUSED MY REQUEST FOR ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER!! I DO NOT THINK A DOOR LATCH SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED, ON ANY CAR, AS THIS IS PART OF THE BASIC CAR CHASIS/FRAME AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. WE HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE THIS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL AND MY WIFE HAD TO CRAWL IN/ACROSS FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR TO GET IN UNTIL WE COULD GET IT FIXED. *TR

MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT NEXT TO THE DOOR WHEN IT FLEW OPEN. IT SCARED HER HALF TO DEATH AS SHE WAS STARING AT THE PAVEMENT GOING BY AT 65 MPH. THE DOOR WASN'T EVEN ON. I TURN THEM OFF BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THEM OPENING WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T AFTER HEARING ALL THE STORIES ABOUT THESE DOORS.

I OWN A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY EX MINIVAN WITH AUTOMATIC SLIDING SIDE DOORS. THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS, AS IT FAILS TO AUTOMATICALLY OPEN AND/OR CLOSE USING THE DASH SWITCH, REMOTE (KEY) BUTTON, OR THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE SLIDING DOOR ITSELF. THE DOOR WILL DO ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: UPON ACTUATION OF ABOVE OPENING METHODS, IT WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL, BUT BEEP THREE TIMES; OPEN PARTIALLY AND STOP - AND BEEP THREE TIMES; OPEN PARTIALLY, THEN CLOSE ON ITS OWN; OR SUCCESSFULLY OPEN. I ESTIMATE THE FAILURE RATE FOR FAILING TO SUCCESSFULLY OPEN TO BE APPROXIMATELY 66% - ROUGHLY 2/3 OF THE TIME. THIS VAN IS USED, AT TIMES, TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN, AND I CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO BE SAFETY-RELATED, AS IT IS MOST-DIFFICULT TO OPEN THIS DOOR MANUALLY - FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE MINIVAN. *TR

POWER SLIDING VAN DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE OR OPEN COMPLETELY,WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH INFANTS IN SEATS NEXT TO DOORS THAT WILL NOT CLOSE. IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR ANY EMERGENCY THAT REQUIRED IMMEDIATE EVACUATION THESE FAULTY DOORS WOULD PROHIBIT TIMELY DEPARTURE FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND PREVENT ANY CONVENIENT ACCESS BY EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. SO FAR HONDA IS IGNORING THIS MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT AND CANNOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR
