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 GRADE OR WHEN ACCELERATING SLOWLY BETWEEN 25-30 MPH THE VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY. THIS SEAMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE, AND STILL NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN MADE. MANY SAY IT IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER ON MODELS FROM 05-08. *TR

TRANSMISSION TROUBLE HAPPENS WHEN FIRST STARTED IN THE MORNING. HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS AT EVERY SPEED. WILL NEVER GO INTO TOP GEAR UNTIL VEHICLE HAS WARMED UP, IS TURNED OFF, AND TURNED BACK ON. THEN SHIFTS NORMALLY. REPLACING WITH NEW ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) DID NOT FIX. WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE MOUNTS TOO, DID NOT FIX EITHER. *TR

Electrical system, Structure, Jan 24, 2014
HI I PURCHASED USED HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING 2005 AND DRIVING THE SAME PRESENT METER READING IS 160K. I DID NOT GET ANY SERVICE RECORDS OF THE VEHICLE FROM PREVIOUS OWNERS AND COULD NOT KNOW WHETHER THESE PROBLEMS EXISTS PREVIOUSLY ALSO. ONE DAY LEFT SLIDING DOOR OF THE TOURING COULD NOT OPEN MANUALLY AND AUTO ALSO. AFTER A WEEK A TIME IT STARTED OPENING IT SELF. LATER I FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND TAIL GATE DOOR OR BACK TRUNK DOOR ARE LOCKED AND CAN NOT OPEN WITH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES AND ALSO CAN NOT OPEN MANUALLY ALSO. IT IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT ABLE TO OPEN MANUALLY ALSO IN CASE ANY ACCIDENT WHICH MAY TAKE LIFE OF PERSON NOT ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE VAN. I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS FEATURE IN THIS VEHICLE AND I DID NOT APPROACH THE HONDA COMPANY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE SUGGEST ME TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION. *TR

FOR THE SECOND TIME, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR ON OUR CAR OPENED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. THE DOORS ARE VERY TROUBLESOME, REFUSING TO CLOSE, SHUTTING ON PASSENGERS AND EMIT A LOUD BEEPING NOISE WHEN NOT ABLE TO LATCH. NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, WE CANNOT GET THE NOISE TO STOP AND HAVE TO PUT THE DOOR IN MANUAL TO GET THE NOISE TO STOP. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE DOOR OPENED, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THE MECHANISMS WERE FINE AND IT WAS PROBABLY A STRING. YESTERDAY IT OPENED ABOUT 5 INCHES WHEN I HAD A CHILD IN THAT SEAT. THE DEALER TOLD US TODAY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE IT. HONDA TOLD US TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS WEAR SEAT BELTS. AN ONLINE SEARCH PROVED OUR SITUATION IS NOT UNIQUE. WE ARE SHOPPING FOR A NEW CAR, BUT ARE ASTONISHED AT THE LACK OF CARE HONDA HAS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CLIENTS. *TR

Air bags, Seat belts, Jan 13, 2014
HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 MODEL VEHICLE SEAT WEIGHT SENSORS COULD RESULT IN DISABLING THE AIR BAGS. IF A WEIGHT COMPARABLE TO A CHILD (SUCH AS SCHOOL BAG OR GROCERIES OR A BOX) IS PLACED IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SEAT BELTS ARE NOT BUCKLED, AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD IS ILLUMINATED. EVEN AFTER REMOVING WEIGHT THE LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED. SUBSEQUENT PASSENGER SITTING AND SEAT BUCKLING DO NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE DISABLING OF AIR BAGS AND INDICATOR. IT HAS TO BE RESET BY A DEALER. THIS COULD ENDANGER THE PASSENGERS IN HONDA ODYSSEY 2005. *TR

WHERE DO I START....ORIGINAL OWNER, PURCHASED BRAND NEW. NO PROBLEMS FOR ABOUT 3-4 YEARS, AND THEN: TRANSMISSION WHINE, TOOK IN TO DEALER OFF AND ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS, COULD NEVER IDENTIFY ISSUE, THEY SAID. BUT AS SOON AS THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED, MIRACULOUSLY, THEY IDENTIFIED IT, AND NOW SAY I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MOTOR MOUNTS FOUND TO HAVE CRACKED; PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON PER INTERNET FORUMS, BUT HONDA DEALERSHIP DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR DESIGN/FAULTY MOUNTS. DOOR FOR SECOND ROW HAS ISSUES SLIDING; ANOTHER COMMON PROBLEM PER INTERNET BUT NOT PER DEALER. AND FINALLY, THE STRUTS FOR THE REAR HATCH BROKE, ALMOST INJURING MY SON VERY BADLY WHEN HE WAS PUTTING HIS BIKE IN THE BACK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND ASKED ABOUT A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. I PAID $300 4 MONTHS AGO, AND JUST NOW FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL 3 YEARS AGO, AND THEY DENIED IT!!!!! I HATE HONDA AND WILL NEVER BUY THEIR CARS, AND DO NOT TRUST THE DEALERSHIP. UGHHH!!!! *TR

ROLLING SIDE DOORS - AND REAR HATCH STRUTS MASSIVE PROBLEMS. BOUGHT CAR IN JAN 2006, NEW. IN 2007 ONE OF THE SIDE DOORS QUIT ROLLING. HAD TO HAVE THE ROLLER REPLACED - COST OVER $700. THEN A YEAR LATER, THE OTHER SIDE ROLLING DOOR WENT OUT. THEN, THE REAR HATCH STRUTS TOTALLY GAVE WAY AND THE REAR HATCH CAME SLAMMING DOWN ABOUT 2 INCHES FROM MY 7 YEAR OLDS HEAD. I CALLED DEALER - HONDA CARLAND IN ROSWELL - THEY COULD CARE LESS. UNTIL I HAD TO RAISED THE ROOF WITH HONDA CORPORATE BEFORE ANYBODY WOULD OFFER TO COVER THE COST TO REPLACE STRUTS. FOR CERTAIN, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS INJURY TO SOMEONE'S HEAD IF IT FELL ON THEM. AFTER THE HATCH, THEN CAME THE THIRD SLIDING DOOR PROBLEM, AGAIN I HAD TO FIX THE DOOR. SO, THREE DOOR FIXES AT OVER $700 EACH. NOW, IN 2013 FOR THE FOURTH TIME DOOR IS GOING OUT AGAIN. I AM TRADING THE CAR IN BEFORE HAVING IT FIXED. *TR
Structure, Dec 13, 2013
DURING COLD WEATHER, THE AUTOMATIC REAR PASSENGERS DOORS FAILED TO CLOSE AND LOCK PROPERLY, ALLOWING THE DOORS TO OPEN. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GETS BELOW 32 DEGREES. PROBLEM IS THE VAN IS KEPT IN GARAGE WHERE IT IS WARM, BUT WHEN OUT OF THE GARAGE (AWAY FROM HOME) AND THIS HAPPENS, NO WAY TO SAFELY GET HOME WITH THE DOORS NOT CLOSED PROPERLY, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK. *TR

WHEN THE CAR REACHES A SPEED OF 30-40 MILES AN HOUR THE ECO GEAR KICKS IN CAUSING THE CAR TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE UNDER THE CAR IN THE TRANSMISSION AREA. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT WAS MOTOR MOUNTS, TORQUE CONVERTER, WHEEL ALIGNMENT, ETC. I HAVE FOUND A CLASS ACTION SUIT THAT WAS FILED IN CALIFORNIA. I WANT TO BE ADD TO THAT LAWSUIT IF POSSIBLE. *TR

A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN AND ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. I CALLED HONDA IN OCTOBER ABOUT IT THEY SAID TAKE TO DEALER TO CHECK FUEL RELAY SWITCH, DEALER SAID IT WAS OKAY, BUT TO DIAGNOSE THE SMELL THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME $120. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY SO I HAD TO LEAVE. BEEN SICK WITH DEALING CANCER APPOINTMENTS AND , HAD NO TIME OR MONEY TO DEAL WITH CAR, FINALLY I TOOK IT ON 12/6/2016 TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR ONLY $40 AND THEY SAID IT HAD A CRACK ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP CASING. BUT THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS GOING TO COST $563. THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT AROUND, SO I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID IF I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY MIGHT HELP ME WITH THE REPAIR, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE CAR TO BLOW UP WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. I INQUIRED AS TO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE ADVISER STATED THAT SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, BUT WOULD SEE IF I COULD GET OUT OF WARRANTY HELP, I TOLD HER THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE AND HAD PRINTED OUT SO MANY PEOPLE STATING THEIR 2005 HONDAS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS FAULTY CASING WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RISK MINE OR ANYONE ELSE'S LIFE. I WILL REPOST THE OUTCOME, HONDA GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER AND SAID SOMEONE SHOULD CONTACT ME BY THE END ON 12/09/2013 TO LET ME KNOW IF THE CAN HELP WITH THE COST. *TR

ENGINE MOUNT PROBLEMS. I BESEACH YOU ALL, PLEASE HELP US! PURCHASED THIS CAR 8 MONTHS AGO FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP. WAS CONVINCED TO BUY WARRANTY. FIRST WEEK IT BEGAN TO MAKE NOISE AFTER PURCHASE, DROVE IN AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG AT THE TIME WITHOUT ANY INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND TO COME BACK. LIGHT CAME ON WAS ENGINE MOUNTS BROKEN OH AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I THOUGHT, GOOD THING I PURCHASED THE 3,000 DOLLAR WARRANTY THEY ASSURED ME WOULD COVER MAJOR THINGS OF COST. GUESS WHAT, NO COVERAGE-JUST THESE 2 REPAIRS ALONE WILL BE OVER 1500 NOT TO MENTION WHEN THE OTHER 2 MOUNTS BREAK FULLY. I HAVE READ 100 S OF PEOPLE ONLINE REPORTING THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON THE HONDA ODYSSEYS. THIS IS THE SAME AS ROBBING THE POOR. WHY TELL ME BUYING WARRANTY WILL COVER EXPENSIVE ENGINE STUFF BUT CLAIM 800+ IS NOT TOO MUCH? EVEN THE MECHANICS NEAR AND FAR, (I CALLED THEM), ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS ONLINE SUFFERING MY SAME DILEMMA SAID THIS ENGINE MOUNT IS SUPER COMMON FOR THE ODYSSEYS TO BREAK. ITS SO HARD TO AFFORD A CAR ANYMORE, BUT PEOPLE ARE WORKING SO HARD TO SAVE AND OTHERS TO FIX THEIR CREDIT JUST TO BARELY AFFORD A USED ONE,BUT TO PURCHASE A 3000$ WARRANTY THAT IS USELESS IN THIS VERY EXPENSIVE CASE ( 800) JUST FOR 2 OF THE MOUNTS AND RIGHT AWAY. I BABIED THE CAR. NOW I HAVE TO USE GROCERY MONEY THAT FEEDS MY FAMILY TO TRY AND PAY FOR THIS OBVIOUS FLAW THAT HONDA ALREADY KNEW AND KNOWS ABOUT. PLEASE, I BEG YOU TO READ ONLINE. ONE SIMPLE GOOGLE WILL SHOW I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS ENGINE MOUNT STRUGGLE WITH HONDA. PLEASE DON'T LET WHAT COULD BE A GREAT CAR COMPANY MAKE THIS TERRIBLE CHOICE REPEATEDLY WHEN EVEN THEIR MECHANICS KNOW IT IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM AND WRONG. I CAN'T AFFORD TO MAKE THESE FIXES RIGHT NOW AND IF I DONT GET THE LOAN, SINCE I JUST MAXED OUT PURCHASING THE WARRANTY....I LOSE MY ENGINE ON THE ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR ! GOD FORBID.
