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.

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ACCORDING TO THE HONDA OWNER LINK WEBSITE THERE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR THE ODYSSEY MINIVANS. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND MENTIONED THE RECALL, THEY DIDN'T RESPOND. THEY JUST DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEMS AS A SLIPPING TRANSMISSION, A NEW ECU WAS NEEDED, THE FRONT AND REAR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN AND THE RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT REAR STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEY CONCLUDED THE TRANSMISSION WAS INDEED FAILING. THE RECOMMENDATION WAS REPLACEMENT OR A COMPLETE OVERHAUL. *JB

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER STATES THERE IS A RECURRING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WAS FIRST REPLACED BACK IN 2004 WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY STARTED TO FAIL. ON ONE DRIVE, I NOTICED IT "SLIPPING" A LITTLE. ON THE NEXT DAY, THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE, IT ALMOST TOTALLY WENT OUT ON ME. I WAS TRYING TO ENTER INTO A MAJOR MILE STREET, PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, WITH ONLY A SLIGHT RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. ONE CAR HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID ME, BUT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. UPON RESEARCHING THIS, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THE 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A BIG HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THERE WAS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED WHICH EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 109,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VEHICLE HAS 121,000 MILES. I AM AN ORIGINAL OWNER AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY HONDA THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AMERICAN HONDA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME, THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE FULL PRICE THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

SECOND 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 1) DRIVING TO PICK UP HUSBAND AT DENVER AIRPORT. NO UNUSUAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. 2) 1ST TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 120000 MILES; REBUILT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 168000 MILES. 3) REPLACED FIRST TRANSMISSION WITH REBUILT ONE. HONDA KNOWS THAT THE ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILS. THEY ARE ASKING FOR $5000 TO REPLACE IT. WE CANNOT BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION; ONLY REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS. WITH HONDA ONLY PROVIDING REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS, THEY ARE GUARANTEEING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION EVERY 3-4 YEARS. ALWAYS JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY TRAVEL 2 MPH BEFORE IT JERKED INTO GEAR AND BEGAN ACCELERATING FURTHER. DURING THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED; AFTER THE RESTART, THE VEHICLE PERFORMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS COMMON. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 138,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 87000 MILES LYNNWOOD HONDA DEALER SOLD AND INSTALLED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FOR $3600. THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN LESS THAN A YEAR AT 37000 MILES. I BELIEVE THEY INSTALLED A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. HONDA SAYS THEY WON'T ASSIST ME. RESULTS: I LOST $3600 DOLLARS ON THE REPAIR. PLUS I HAVE A VAN WORTH $7000(KBB) THAT DOESN'T WORK. TOTAL LOSS $11000. *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE DURING SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AS IF THE VEHICLE CANNOT GAIN TRACTION. ROLLING BACKWARD AT AN INCLINE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. ENGINE SPEEDS UP, TRANSMISSION DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY SHIFT, AND WHEN IT DOES FINALLY ENGAGE THE SHIFT IS EXTREMELY ROUGH, WITH A NOTICEABLE LOSS OF ACCELERATION/POWER. OBDII CODE INDICATES A P0740 (TCC ENABLE SOLENOID CIRCUIT ELECTRICAL) PROBLEM, AND THE TRANSMISSION NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 119,344 MILES. I'VE DISCOVERED THAT AMERICAN HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT, AND HAVE ISSUED SEVERAL EXTENDED WARRANTIES PERTAINING TO TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN 1999-2002 HONDA ODYSSEYS, YET THEY HAVE NEVER ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THE ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. TRANSMISSION DEFECTIVE. AGAIN. THE ORIGINAL WAS REPLACED BY HONDA UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AROUND 60,000 MILES (APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO). SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED THE OTHER DAY WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. CLEARLY, HONDA DID NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THE FIRST TIME WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT CORRECTED THE DESIGN FLAW. RATHER, THEY INSTALLED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION WITH THE SAME DESIGN FLAW. HONDA WAS FULLY AWARE AT THE TIME THEY FACED A DESIGN FLAW - BUT INSTALLED A FLAWED TRANSMISSION ANYHOW. THIS WAS DONE MOST LIKELY KNOWING THAT THESE TRANSMISSIONS WOULD "ON AVERAGE" MAKE IT AT LEAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND BECOME THE OWNERS PROBLEM AFTERWARDS. I, PERSONALLY, CONSIDER SUCH BEHAVIOR POTENTIALLY FRAUDULENT. THAT IS, INSTALLING SOMETHING THAT KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE AND SUBJECT TO EARLY FAILURE RELATIVE TO WHAT THE EXPECTED LIFESPAN OF THE SYSTEM IS AS MEASURED AGAINST THE NORM AND WITHIN STATISTICAL REASON. I AM AWARE OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND OUTCOME (MINOR EXTENSION OF WARRANTY). I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT SIMPLY FOR RECORD AND OUT OF DISAPPOINTMENT FOR HONDA'S ACTIONS. *TR

MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY IN MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. THE "CHECK ENGINE" AND "TCS" LIGHTS CAME ON. UPON SHUTTING DOWN AND RE-STARTING, THE "TCS" LIGHT WENT OUT BUT "CHECK ENGINE" REMAINED LIT. THE JEFF WYLER HONDA DEALERSHIP IN FLORENCE, KY TELLS ME THERE IS SOME SORT OF CLUTCH FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION, REQUIRING THAT I GET A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $4,000 PLUS AND EXTRA $1,000 IN LABOR. WE HAVE SERVICE DOCUMENTATION GOING BACK TO SIX MONTHS AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2000, STATING OUR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE "RUMBLE" IN THE TRANSMISSION UPON REACHING HIGHWAY SPEED OF AROUND 45-65 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP TRIED SEVERAL THINGS, INCLUDING REPLACING SOME SORT OF MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED TO THIS DAY. NOW, AMERICAN HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, CLAIMING THAT THE VEHICLE IS "TOO OLD". *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED IN JUNE OF 2006. HONDA INSTALLED A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AT 66K MILES. TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 108K MILES ON OCTOBER 24, 2010. REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION LASTED ONLY 42K MILES. HONDA REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRANSMISSION. HONDA REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSIONS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OLD TRANSMISSIONS. HONDA SAID THAT UNLESS THERE IS ANOTHER CLASS ACTION SUIT, THEY WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY TYPE OF RESPONSIBILITY, EVEN IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILS AGAIN AFTER 40K MILES. HONDA SAID THAT THEY CONSIDERED THE TOTAL MILES ON MY CAR AS THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. I HAD MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME. *TR

I OWN A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY VIN [XXX]. IT HAS 53,000 MILES. RECENTLY, ON JUNE 5TH, 2010, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE IS HAVING SOME TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AS IS EVIDENT, I HAVE DRIVEN ONLY 53,000 MILES IN THE PAST 9 YEARS, WHICH IS MUCH BELOW THE AVERAGE OF 12,000 MILES DRIVEN PER YEAR. THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN PRIMARILY FOR DOING GROCERIES AND DROPPING OFF AND PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR; WE DRIVE IT WITH UTMOST CARE AND GET IT SERVICED REGULARLY PER THE REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. 1-800-999-1009 AND SPOKE WITH THE MANAGER MR. DARRELL HARVILLE. HE MENTIONED THAT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND HONDA HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF HONDA. HONDA ALSO ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE PERIOD OF 7 YEARS AND 9 MONTH OR 109,000 WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. I CHECKED ON HONDA'S WEBSITE AND FOUND THAT MY VIN# IS IN THE RECALL LIST. I VALIDATED MY VIN# [XXX] ON HTTP://WWW.HONDATRANSMISSIONSETTLEMENT.COM/PHP/LOGIN.PHP WEBSITE AND GOT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: "THIS VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER THE SETTLEMENT. TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT, PLEASE READ THE NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION." HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY LETTERS OR EMAILS REGARDING THIS DEFECT AND RECALL. SINCE MY CAR IS 9 YEARS OLD I AM LATE AND WOULD HAVE TO FIX TRANSMISSION AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I HAVE INQUIRED WITH A FEW HONDA DEALERS AND WAS TOLD THAT, IT WOULD COST ME MORE THAN $4000 TO FIX THIS DEFECT (TO FIX TRANSMISSION WITH FACTORY REBUILT ONE). THE $4000 COST TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION IS ALMOST HALF THE CURRENT PRICE OF MY CAR BASED ON CURRENT ESTIMATES. I AM REQUESTING HONDA MOTOR CO. TO BEAR THE COST OF THIS DEFECT, AS THIS IS CLEARLY A FACTORY BUILD/ DESIGN ISSUE WHICH CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION. HONDA MOTOR CO. NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THIS ISSUE, AS I PAID FULL PRICE FOR A BRAND NEW CAR WITH TRANSMISSION DEFECTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REVV. THE GEAR SELECTOR WAS SHIFTED INTO THE LOWEST GEAR, BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE HIS EXPENSE. THE ESTIMATED REPAIR COST WAS $2,800. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

THE TRANSMISSION ON OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY FAILED AT 87,861 MILES IN MAY OF 2010. THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY US. HONDA WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE COST BECAUSE IT WAS PAST THE TIME LIMIT ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, DESPITE BEING WELL UNDER THE MILEAGE LIMIT. *TR

WHEN I WOULD GO TO PASS AND PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP AND IT WOULD TAKE 2 OR 3 SECONDS TO KICK IN TO PASSING GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THEM AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE CODE SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I TOLD THEM THAT IT WASN'T RIGHT WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I HAD IT. I TOOK IT TO THEM TWICE AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERY 15000 MILES AND IT STILL HAPPENED. I WENT TO HONDA AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON AND SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. THE ONLY REASON IT TOOK THIS LONG TO GO BAD WAS BECAUSE I SERVICED IT REGULARLY. THE BEST PART WAS WHEN I TOOK IT TO THEM AFTER THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAS GONE ON THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY RECORD OF ME BRINGING MY VAN FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHAT A COINCIDENCE. *TR
