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.

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO WORN SEAT BELT STRAPS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE SEAT BELT WAS WORN TO THE POINT WHERE THE WIDTH WAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED AND CONTINUED TO GET MORE NARROW AS THE BELT WAS USED.

MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS SLAMMING INTO 2ND TILL IT STARTED SLIPPING. I PUT IN A USED SOLENOID....BUT IT STILL SLIPS IN 2ND AND ANOTHER SYMPTOM IS TCS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER 5 MIN OR SO DRIVING. [ I CAN MAKE IT GO INTO 2ND IF I REV IT OUT TO ABOUT 25-3000 RPM IN FIRST GEAR AND BACK OFF THE ACCELERATOR FAST AS IT IS GOING IN TO 2ND THEN IT GOES INTO GEAR.] SO I TRIED PUTTING IN A NEW DUAL LINEAR SOLENOID - HAD SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT BUT STILL SLIPS IN 2ND GEAR OR WILL NOT GO INTO 2ND GEAR WITHOUT BACKING OFF ACCELERATOR. I ALSO CHECKED THE OTHER SOLENOIDS WHICH SEEM OK.

I PURCHASED HONDA ODYSSEY SEVERAL YEARS AGO FROM A THIRD PARTY SELLER. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 K MILES I STARTED TO NOTICE "JUMP" IN THE GEARS AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON.

I NOW COME TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SOMEONE SUGGESTED THIS WEBSITE FOR ME TO TAKE THIS CASE FORWARD.

THE WAS BROKEN THE TRANSMISSION AT 107,000 HONDA FIXED, AGAIN 127,000 AND I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT, AGAIN AT 163,000 AND HONDA FIXED, BUT I HAVE TO PAY AROUND 400.00 FOR SOME EXTRAS THEY REQUEST, AND NOW AGAIN AT 193,000. HONDA REFUSED TO FIX IT, THEN I SPOKE TO THE PEOPLE IN THE MAIN OFFICE IN TORRANCE AND ALSO MY CASE WAS DENIED.I DONT KNOW ANY ABOUT THE PREVIOUS 90,000 MILLES BECAUSE WAS UNDER OTHER OWNER.

WE ARE TRYING TO RESOLVE WHAT WE BELIEVE TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING THE FUNCTION OF OUR SEAT BELT SYSTEM. OUR SEAT BELT IS COVERED BY A LIFETIME WARRANTY BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE BELT MATERIAL HAS DEGRADED AND FRAYED CREATING LONG STRANDS OF FIBER THAT RESTRICT IT SLIDING THROUGH THE LATCH MECHANISM. IN ADDITION, THE WIDTH OF THE BELT HAS BEEN REDUCED BY OVER 10% DUE TO THE MATERIAL FRAYING AND UNRAVELING. HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AN ISSUE - CHOOSING TO SOLELY FOCUS ON WHETHER OR NOT THE SEAT BELT WILL RETRACT AND "LATCH" --- IGNORING THAT THE BELT ITSELF HAS BEEN SEVERELY DEGRADED. CLEARLY THE MATERIAL CHOSEN BY HONDA IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS NOT PROVIDED THE LIFETIME BENEFITS OFFERED IN OUR WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE SEAT BELT HAS NEVER BEEN ALTERED OR MODIFIED. WE ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE COSMETIC APPEARANCE OF THE BELT. HONDA CLAIMS THE SYSTEM IS STILL FULL FUNCTIONAL AND THIS WILL NOT ADDRESS IT UNDER WARRANTY - WHICH CONTRADICTS THEIR OWNER'S MANUAL WHICH STATES THAT THE BELT SHOULD BE REPLACED. IT SIMPLY WAS NOT ENGINEERED TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY PROTECTION FOR THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE BATTERY ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY WAS FOUND DEAD THIS MORNING. THIS IS MORE THAN 10 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS AND MORE THAN 50 TIMES SINCE I GOT IT IN 2007. HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACE AND STILL NO IMPROVEMENT. READING ON THE INTERNET SUGGEST A HONDA ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT THEY DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. LETTING THE ODYSSEY SIT FOR AN HOUR OR TWO SOMEHOW FIXES THE ISSUE AND IT STARTS. VERY FRUSTRATING AND NEED AN AUTHORITY TO PUT PRESSURE ON HONDA. *TR
