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).

ON NOVEMBER 2015 WE WERE TRAVELING BACK FROM VACATION. AS WE STOPPED FOR A BATHROOM BREAK WE OPENED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENED AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE BACK. . IT TOOK SEVERAL HOURS TO GET THE DOOR BACK ON TRACK IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE SHUT. THE DOOR THEN DID NOT OPEN, CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY I COULD BOT USE THE DOOR TO GET MY CHILDREN OUT. THE END OF FEBRUARY 2016, WHILE DROPPING THE CHILDREN OFF AT A BABYSITTER, THE DRIVER REAR PASSENGER DOOR OPENED AND AGAIN WOULD NOT CLOSE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE I HAD TO REPLACE THE CABLE, THE MOTOR AND OTHER COMPONENTS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.

AROUND 10:30 AM ON WEDNESDAY, 1/13/16, DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD KEEP OPENING UP "COMPLETELY VOLUNTARILY" WHEN THE VEHICLE (2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX) WAS IN MOTION AND BEING OPERATED ON A LOCAL FREEWAY. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOOR EITHER USING THE REMOTE/AUTOMATIC DOOR-CLOSING SWITCH BY THE STEERING WHEEL OR MANUALLY (UPON STOPPING THE VEHICLE ON THE ROADSIDE) WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THE SLIDING DOOR KEPT OPENING UP "VOLUNTARILY" ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT BACK IN MOTION / DRIVE MODE (ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE). THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE DRIVEN BACK HOME, ITS NORMAL PARKING LOCATION, WITH THE SLIDING DOOR OPEN DURING THE DRIVE (APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM HOME).

HONDA'S HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH PAINT PEELING ON BLUE CARS HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BY TWO YEARS FOR MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY I WAS NOT AWARE THAT HONDA WAS COVERING THE PAINT ISSUE I WAS NOT AWARE THAT HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY I AM FAIRLY SURE THAT THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM WAS AWARE THAT I PURCHASED A VEHICLE THAT POTENTIALLY HAD A PAINT ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

BOTH MY SIDE DOORS HAVE BEEN BEEN MAKING NOISE. THEN MY PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. WE USED THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR INSTEAD. ON THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2015 WHILE OPENING IT THE ENTIRE DOOR FELL OFF AND SMASHED MY FOOT. BRUISING AND SWELLING ON MY BIG TOE BUT NOTHING TO GO TO ER OVER. ICED IT AND STILL HURTING A FEW DAYS LATER. CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. MY RESPONSIBILITY. OUT OF WARRANTY. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. DOORS FALLING OFF THEIR VANS! SEEMS RIDICULOUS AND TIME FOR A RECALL. CUSTOMER SERVICE REP SAID THAT IT WAS MY CAR AND THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR IT. I SAID THAT COINCIDENTALLY I JUST HAD MY VAN IN FOR A RECALL (FUEL PUMP - WAS SMELLING GAS WHILE DRIVING IT) SO THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE. SOME THINGS THEY DO FIX FOR FREE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MAJOR PROBLEM. I OPENED THE DOOR FOR MY 9-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER TO GET INTO THE CAR. WHAT IS THE DOOR FELL ON HER?

THE FIRST INCIDENT OF THE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR OCCURRED IN JUNE 2010, WHEN VEHICLE WAS ONLY ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT, DENTS, OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE FUNCTION OF THE DOORS. SINCE THEN, BOTH PASSENGER AUTO SLIDING DOORS NOW HAVE TROUBLE CLOSING, AND WILL OFTEN CLOSE ON A PASSENGER, WITH THE PASSENGER'S BODY BEING THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES THE DOOR STOP CLOSING. SUMMARY: BOTH SLIDING DOORS EITHER DO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY (STOP SHORT AND HAVE TO BE RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES, OFTEN FORCED TO CLOSE); OR THEY CLOSE BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPENING AND SCARE OR SQUISH THE PASSENGER WHO IS GETTING INTO THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AND WE FEAR THAT SOON THE DOORS WILL NOT STOP AND COMPLETELY CRUSH THE PERSON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, OR WE WILL HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR OPEN IF IT WILL NOT CLOSE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ABOUT 4-6 ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOORS AFTER EVERYONE IS IN THE CAR AND BELTED IN. MY FRIEND HAS THE SAME CAR AND SIMILAR ISSUE, SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS, PERHAPS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION! *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, AGES 9 AND 6, AND AS I WAS DRIVING THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OPENED. MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO WAS SITTING NEXT TO THE DOOR SAID "MOMMY THE DOOR IS OPENING". I WAS DRIVING ONLY ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND I KEPT ON OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR AND WOULD APPEAR TO BE CLOSED BUT AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT WOULD OPEN AGAIN. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO SCHOOL WITH MY HAZARDS ON AND IF THE DOOR OPENED AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER AND OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR AGAIN. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING WE HEARD A CONTINUOUS BEEPING NOISE LIKE I WOULD HEAR IF THE DOOR WAS OPEN. THIS INCIDENT SCARED MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW IN THIS CAR AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE HEARD THE BEEPING SOUND BEFORE WHEN IT IS VERY COLD BUT THIS IS THE FIRST THAT THE DOOR ACTUALLY OPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS FOR A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. THE RIGHT PASSENGER ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR STOPPED WORKING WHEN THE ODOMETER READ 99722. AT THE TIME IT STOPPED WORKING, THE VAN WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. WHEN THE BUTTON WAS PRESSED TO OPEN THE DOOR, THE DOOR REFUSED TO OPEN AND A LIGHT WENT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL "SLIDE DOOR". WHEN I CONSULTED THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL, IT SAID TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. I WAS REALLY SUSPICIOUS WITH THE SUDDEN FAILING OF THE DOOR BECAUSE UP UNTIL THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT, THE DOOR WAS WORKING FINE. THE WAY I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE WEATHER CONDITIONS IT WAS IN REMAINED THE SAME FROM WHEN THE ODOMETER READ 99700 UNTIL THE INCIDENT. WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ODYSSEY OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS MODEL YEARS 2005-2010 HAVE THESE ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS PROBLEMS WITHOUT ANY CLEAR INDICATION OF ISSUES BEFOREHAND. MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE STATED OWNERS TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ONLY TO HAVE THE DEALER CHARGE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FAIL DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I VISITED A FORUM THAT OFFERED A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION STATED TO RESET THE INTERNAL COMPUTER BY PULLING A FUSE LABELED AS "BACK UP". I WAS SKEPTICAL OF THIS SOLUTION BECAUSE HONDA WOULDN'T DESIGN A VEHICLE THAT STATES AN ERROR WITH A DOOR UNLESS SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE DOOR, FOR EXAMPLE THE MOTOR. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH THE SLIDING DOOR FAILED, I GAVE IT A TRY AND RESET THE INTERNAL COMPUTER. I STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP AND NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THE ERROR WAS GONE WHICH MAKES SENSE SINCE THE COMPUTER WAS RESET. WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE PASSENGER ELECTRIC DOOR, THE DOOR OPENED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY HESITATION OF MOVEMENT. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION. IF HELP CAN BE GIVEN, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. *TR

AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I WAS FORCED TO OBTAIN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, ETCHING AND MANY OTHER THINGS. ONE YEAR LATER I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING DOORS. I INFORMED HONDA BECAUSE DOORS ARE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANY REPAIRS. SUMMER OF 2014 THERE'S A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE STUCK CLOSED THEY CANNOT REPAIR THE RECALL. HOWEVER THE SERVICE ADVISOR OPENED THE SLIDING DOORS AND STILL THEN THEY REFUSE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. I CONTACTED HONDA'S MANUFACTURER AND PER THE CASE MANAGER AT CORPORATE OFFICE," HONDA CANNOT HELP ME THE RECALL." I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT ON SEPTEMBER OF 2011 THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE STEERING. I INFORMED THE CASE MANAGER THAT I NEVER RECEIVED SUCH NOTICE. HER RESPONSE WAS "PERHAPS THE NOTICE WAS MAILED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER, BECAUSE WE GO BY THE ADDRESS NOTED AT THE DMV OFFICE."; SEPTEMBER OF 2011 THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED UNDER MY NAME AND ADDRESS, THE CASE MANAGER DID NOT HAVE A RESPONSE FOR ME.
