Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC (Delphi) is recalling certain replacement fuel pump modules, part number FG1155-11B1, sold for use in 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The affected fuel pump may send an incorrect fuel reading to the fuel gauge possibly causing the vehicle to run out of fuel. The fuel gauge will always read 3/4 full to full regardless of the actual level.
A vehicle that runs out of fuel and stalls has an increased risk of a crash.
Delphi has begun notifying dealers and distributors, and will replace the fuel pump modules, free of charge. Owners may contact Delphi customer service at 1-877-411-8770. Delphi's number for this recall is GL14-004.

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured June 23, 2004, through September 4, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the fuel pump strainer cover may deteriorate allowing fuel to leak out.
A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.
Parts to permanently repair the affected vehicles are not currently available. Honda will notify owners with an interim letter during May 2014. A second notice was mailed to owners October 6, 2014 when the remedy became available. Any vehicles that are currently leaking from the fuel pump cover will get a replacement, original cover. All vehicles, including those receiving the interim repair, will get an improved cover when they are available. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. The recall numbers associated with this campaign are JD9 (inspection and/or preliminary part replacement) and JE0 (final parts replacement).

HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ODYSSEY AND ACURA RL VEHICLES. BRAKE FLUID CONTAINING POLYMERS IS USED THAT ACTS AS A LUBRICANT FOR CERTAIN BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IF REPLACEMENT BRAKE FLUID IS USED THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN SUCH POLYMERS, OR THAT CONTAINS ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS, A PART OF THE RUBBER SEAL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY BECOME DRY, AND THE SEAL MAY CURL DURING MOVEMENT OF THE PISTON. IF THIS OCCURS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID COULD SLOWLY LEAK FROM THE SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND OVERTIME A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

WHILE DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINE IDLED DOWN THEN TEMPORARILY SEEMED NORMAL ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THE VSA LIGHT INCLUDING THE SYMBOL AND THE INITIALS VSA BECAME ILLUMINATED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT MULTIPLE TIMES ONLY TO HAVE IT REOCCUR OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I HAD JUST HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IN REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THE SERVICE CREW PUNCTURED MY RADIATOR AND HAD TO REPLACE THAT AS WELL. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE VSA SENOR CONTROL CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. THEY INDICATED THAT THE PART WOULD TAKE A WEEK AND A HALF TO GET THE PART WHICH SEEMS VERY STRANGE. THE COST FOR THE PART IS $500 AND THE INSTALLATION WILL BE $276.25. *TR

VSA (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) MODULATOR FAILED UPON ENGINE START UP IN A HONDA ODYSSEY MINI-VAN WITH JUST OVER 19,000 TOTAL MILES. DOWNLOADED DIAGNOSTIC CODE CONFIRMED FAILURE OF THE VSA MODULATOR. VSA FAILURE ALSO MEANS LOSS OF ABS FUNCTION ON THE BRAKES. COMPONENT PRICE IS NEARLY $1000. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE COMPONENT FAILURE AFTER VERY LITTLE ACTUAL USE OF THE VAN. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY BASED ON ELAPSED TIME. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT EARLY (LOW MILEAGE) VSA MODULATOR FAILURES ARE VERY COMMON IN HONDA ODYSSEYS AND OTHER HONDA VEHICLES. *TR

THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIX FOR THE BRAKE GRINDING COMPLAINTS IN SUMMER WHILE BRAKING ON A DOWNWARD SLOPE. IT HAPPENS TO MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING FREQUENTLY TOO. IT HAPPENED IN THE MORNING OF JUNE 1 2012 AND WHEN I GOT HOME, I POWER WASHED MY VEHICLE, INCLUDING THE WHEELS WHICH WERE DIRTY WITH BRAKE DUST. WHEN I BRAKED ON THE SAME HILL TWO HOURS LATER, NO GRINDING AND NO FADING OF BRAKES. HOPE THIS CONTINUES TO WORK AND HELPS OTHERS. *TT

RECENTLY NOTICED LIKE THE BRAKES ARE NOT RELEASED FULLY AFTER THE APPLICATION RESULTING IN A "FLAT TIRE FEELING WITH NOISE" TOOK THE MINIVAN FOR SCHEDULED RECALL SERVICE. PER SERVICE PERSON, THEY REPLACED THE CAPS OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. DRIVING BACK HOME @ 70 MILES, FELT LIKE THE STEERING LOOSING CONTROL, STOPPED AT THE NEAR BY CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER: THEY DIDN'T FELT ANY MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE STEERING BUT FELT LIKE THE SERVICE WASN'T DONE AS THEY SAID. ALL THE DUST WAS EVENLY THERE ALL OVER THE MASTER CYLINDER: ALL OVER THE BONNET. I FEEL NO CHANGE WITH THE FRICTION NOISE FROM THE BRAKES: " A LITTLE WORSE?" HOW DO I ENSURE THAT A GENUINE SERVICE WAS DONE? NOW I FEEL INSECURE TO DRIVE ON THIS, LIKE DRIVING ON BLACK ICES. THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM WAS REST LAST TIME, BUT NOT IT IS BACK TO NOT WORKING GOOD: RESULTING WITH TROUBLE WITH THE A/C KNOB NOT WORKING SMOOTHLY. *TR

FAULTY VSA MODULATOR / ABS PUMP. THE VSA INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON AND DIAG CHECK BY DEALER SHOWS ERROR CODES 76-1 AND 66-1. THE ADVISE IS TO REPLACE THE MODULATOR. THIS EQUIPMENT IS ALREADY PROVEN FAULTY IN SIMILAR HONDA MODELS (ODYSSEY 2007-2008) AND RECALLED. HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 ALSO NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO SPEND A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THIS. *JS

COME ON HONDA .... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I LIVE IN A HILLY TOWN. ALL WINTER LONG, NO PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. AS SOON AS IT GETS WARM AND I BRAKING WHEN COMING DOWN A HILL (EVEN A VERY GENTLE SLOPE), THE FRONT BRAKES MAKE THE MOST HORRIFIC GRINDING NOISE. I'VE BEEN TOLD OVER AND OVER BY PEOPLE AT STOP LIGHTS, THAT I REALLY NEED TO GET MY BRAKES FIXED (BUT HONDA CONTINUES TO SAY THE BRAKES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE). MULTIPLE TIMES, WHEN THE GRINDING OCCURS, I BARELY GOT STOPPED FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, LET ALONE EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING. IF HONDA DOES NOTHING ABOUT THIS, IT WILL BE THE LAST HONDA I EVER OWN AND I WILL FOR SURE CONVINCE 100 PEOPLE TO NOT BUY HONDA EITHER. PLEASE FORCE HONDA TO FINALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *TR

THE ODYSSEY VSA LIGHT WENT ON IN AUGUST 2010. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE BRIGHTON HONDA DEALERSHIP IN MI, THEY SAID I NEEDED TO HAVE MY VSA MODULATOR ASSEMBLY REPLACED FOR THE PRICE OF $1257.44. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANICAL ENGINEER THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED AT THIS LOW MILEAGE. I CONTACTED HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION IN TORRANCE, CA LAST MONTH. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT, HOWEVER, THEY WOULD GO 50/50.

1. DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE ON 12/22/2009 THE DEALER TECH / MECHANIC ADVISED THAT BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS ON MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY WERE RUST PITTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT ON A RELATIVELY NEW CAR SINCE I OWN A 10 YEAR OLD 2001 HONDA ACCORD WHICH HAS NOT HAD ANY SUCH PROBLEM SO FAR - UNDER SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS. 2. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND WILL REQUIRE A EXPENSIVE FIX (APPROX. $1500 QUOTED BY THE DEALER) FOR A CAR UNDER WARRANTY. CANNOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH RUSTED ROTORS AND 2MM PADS. 3. THE DEALER HAS QUOTED $1500 TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT / REAR ROTORS AND PADS. *TR
