I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO ALLOW ME TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BAD. I HAD 3 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VAN, AS WE WERE GOING TO SPEND THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY WITH FAMILY. SO WE WERE SEVERAL HOURS FROM HOME AND NO WAY TO GET TO OUR FAMILY OR BACK TO OUR HOUSE. IT WAS A SCARY ORDEAL FOR MY AND MY CHILDREN. WHEN WE FINALLY GOT THE VAN TOWED HOME AND TO A SHOP, WE WERE TOLD WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THIS PARTICULAR MAKE/MODEL/YEAR IS NOTORIOUS FOR HAVING THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA THIS AFTERNOON. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT HELP ME WITH ANY COST OF A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO TOLD MY COMPLAINT STOPPED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP I WAS SPEAKING WITH, BUT MY CLAIM IS AVAILABLE TO THE ENGINEERS IN CASE THEY WANT TO SEE IF MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAS HAD ANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS FILED.

I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH HONDA OVER MY SRS UNIT. I WAS TOLD IN JANUARY (WHILE I WAS GETTING AN AIRBAG RECALL INSTALLED) THAT MY SRS UNIT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $1200. I WAITED FOR MY TAX RETURN AND NOW THERE'S A BRAND NEW RECALL ON THE SRS UNIT BUT THOSE PARTS WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. BUT IN THE MEAN TIME... MY SRS UNIT IS FAULTY. THEY TOLD ME IN JANUARY THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT BE DEPLOYED AND MY SEATBELTS WOULDN'T TIGHTEN OR ANYTHING! SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO OFFERED ME A RENTAL UNTIL THEY HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK INTO IT (VERY NICE) BUT NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY CANNOT OFFER A RENTAL UNTIL THE PART COMES IN, THEY WANT TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON MY DOLLAR ($115 TO BE PRECISE) BECAUSE HE TOLD ME EVEN IF THE RECALLED PART WAS INSTALLED MY SRS LIGHT WOULDN'T TURN OFF-- THAT IT WAS 'MOST LIKELY SOMETHING ELSE'. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED THAT HONDA WOULDN'T TAKE MY SITUATION MORE SERIOUSLY, THIS SEEMS LIKE A HUGE LIABILITY ISSUE FOR THEM. I WOULD EXPECT THEM TO AT LEAST REPLACE MY FAULTY SRS WITH ANOTHER CURRENT MODEL THAT'S NOT FAULTY UNTIL THE PART COMES IN... BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR EVEN THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST? I'M BAFFLED. *TR

I CONTACTED A HONDA DEALER (HONDA OF COLUMBIA, LEXINGTON, SC 29072) FOR MY ODYSSEY VAN AIRBAG RECALL ON 10 NOV AND FILED THE RECALL REPAIR. I ASKED A SERVICE REP WHAT I NEEDED TO DO WHEN THE AIRBAG WERE NOT SAFE. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO KEEP DRIVING MY VAN AT MY OWN RISK WHILE NEW AIRBAGS WERE ON ORDER! ON 31 DEC, I WENT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THE STATUS OF MY AIRBAG RECALL FIX STATUS. THEY GAVE ME THE SAME ANSWER THAT I HAD TO DRIVE MY VAN AT MY OWN RISK UNTIL THE AIRBAGS WOULD ARRIVE, BUT DID NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT RIGHT! HONDA CAR OWNER HAVE TO KEEP DRIVING AT THEIR OWN RISKS WHEN THE SAFETY PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY THE COMPANY? THE COMPANY MUST OFFER AN ALTERNATIVE CAR FOR AFFECTED CUSTOMERS UNTIL THEIR CARS ARE FIXED. WAITING FOR 2 MONTHS OR LONGER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE RECALL MAY CAUSE A FATAL RESULT. *TR

I PURCHASED A HONDA ODYSSEY FROM A LOCAL HONDA DEALER MARCH 2012 WITH 122,000 MILES ON IT AND WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. NOVEMBER 2014 I DROVE THE CAR TO MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE 5 HOURS AWAY FOR THANKSGIVING AND THE DAY AFTER THE RETURN TRIP THE CAR BEGAN SLIPPING GEARS. HONDA WANTS $5,100 TO FIX IT. THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS IN IT NOW IF THEY INDEED PUT A NEW ONE IN IT IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 47,000 MILES ON IT!! THAT IS RIDICULOUS!! I PAID $7,900 FOR A CAR THAT LASTED ME ONLY 47,000 MILES!! *TR

A PASSENGER IN THE CAR WAS BRINGING THE WINDOW DOWN. THE PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR, JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR WITH A LOUD NOISE. THE WINDOW DID NOT SHATTER BUT THE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL UP. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THE DOOR HAD TO BE TAKEN APART TO FIX THE WINDOW. ALSO, WE REPLACED THE PASSENGER DOOR AND DRIVER DOOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS. THE FIRST TIME, THE WINDOW DID NOT WORK. THE SECOND TIME BOTH UNITS WERE REPLACED, THE WINDOW CAN NOW BE CONTROLLED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE. SINCE THEN, A NUMBER OF OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY (2003-2005) HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE HAVE SURFACED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE DEALER NOT THE CONSUMER. *TR
