2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM RECALL NOTICE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WITHIN A MONTH OF HAVING THE FIRST RECALL WORK COMPLETED (REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE INFLATOR), THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WAS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE ENTIRE AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD NOT OPERATE UNTIL THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. *JB

THE DRIVE (D) LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT STARTED BLINKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND SHIFTED TO PARK, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO BLINK. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE BLINKING HAD STOPPED. AMERICAN HONDA HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO A 2004 TRANSMISSION-RELATED RECALL, AND THAT IF SO HONDA WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. HOWEVER, IT MUST BE DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER, AND HONDA DEALERS CHARGE A $115 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. BOTH THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANNOT WAIVE THE FEE. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THE FEE SHOULD BE WAIVED AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE ONLY PURPOSE OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER HONDA WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IF THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, WE DO NOT INTEND TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP USED 4 YEARS AGO WITH 104K MILES ON IT FOR $10K. I'D HAD IT INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND IT RECEIVED A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. I'VE DRIVEN THIS CAR FOR AN ADDITIONAL 40K MILES AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FAIL WITH MY 3 TODDLER BOYS IN THE CAR ON THE WAY BACK FROM A SOCCER GAME (QUITE FRIGHTENING). I'M NOW BEING TOLD THAT IT WILL COST $5K TO REPAIR! AND NOW THAT I'M LOOKING FURTHER INTO THIS CAR, IT'S CLEAR THAT THERE'S ONGOING TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT HONDA HAS NOT ADDRESSED. SHAME ON HONDA. *TR
