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).

MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED. THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH AN 8 YEAR OLD CAR. VAN SHOOK BAD ENOUGH WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE OR SOMETHING. I DIDN'T PANIC BUT IT SCARED ME ENOUGH WHERE I COULD SEE SOMEBODY HAVING A ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. HONDA WANTS $1300 TO REPLACE, THAT'S NOT RIGHT. SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TT
Engine and engine cooling, Power train, Aug 15, 2013
I PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM DEALER WITH MINIMAL PROBLEMS UNTIL ABOUT 85,000 MILE WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND SHE WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR TWO DAY AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THIS PROBLEM I HAD THE TIRES BALANCED TO ENSURE THAT THIS WAS NOT THE ISSUE. MY SISTER-IN-LAW DROVE THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN TO HER, SHE WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE VEHICLE SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AT 65 MPH. I THEN STARTED TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM TO FIND MANY ARTICLES ON HOW THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT FAILS ON VEHICLES WITH AS LITTLE AS 50,000 MILES. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS A DRIVABILITY ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE WILL BE FINE WITH A NEW MOTOR MOUNT AT THE TUNE OF $700. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD A MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM WHEN THE MOUNT FAILS THE ENGINE DOES NOT JUST RISE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BUT BEGINS TO VIBRATE WITH THE VEHICLES TIRES IN MOTION. *TR
Air bags, Aug 12, 2013
THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON FREQUENTLY, BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. I NOTICED HONDA ODYSSEY 2003 AND 2004 MODEL ARE CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR AIR BAG PROBLEMS INCLUDING AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATING. MY ODYSSEY IS 2005 MODEL AND IS HAVING THE SIMILAR LIGHTING PROBLEM. CAN THE AGENCY ALSO INVESTIGATE THE YEAR 2005 MODEL PLEASE? I AM VERY CONCERNED THE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS IT MAY LEAD TO. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENTS WITH MY MINIVAN. *TR
Electrical system, Aug 6, 2013
THIS PROBLEM STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. IT BECAME WORSE TILL THE IGNITION KEY JAMMED AND BECAME HARD TO TURN TO START THE ENGINE THEN, LAST WEEK, THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS ASKED TO BRING IT IN TO THEM BUT WAS HESITANT TO. I WENT ON TO MY COMPUTER, DID A SEARCH, AND SAW SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE 2005 ODYSSEY EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEMS AND THE COST THAT THEY WERE QUOTED WAS ASTRONOMICAL. I THEN LOOKED UP A RELIABLE LOCKSMITH, THAT WORKED ON IGNITION SWITCH REPAIRS, LOCATED IN MY CITY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPAIR IT. THE TUMBLERS, ACTUAL ONE (1), HAD BECOMES WORN AND THAT CAUSED THE SWITCH TO FREEZE. I DO REMEMBER A RECALL ON EARLIER MODELS OF HONDA FOR HAVING THIS SIMILAR TYPE OF SITUATION. I DID FIND OUT DURING THIS VISIT WITH THIS LOCKSMITH THAT A LOCAL DEALER, NOT MINE, WOULD BRING THEIR HONDAS TO THEM, THAT HAD BEEN BROUGHT IN TO THEIR HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND HAD THIS LOCKSMITH COMPANY DO THE ACTUAL REPAIRS. *TR

NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND A FAINT ONE INSIDE. TOOK IT DOWN TO THE DEALERS AND THE SAID IT HAD A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. HONDA COVERED 1/2 OF THE SERVICE CHARGE BUT NOT THE ENTIRE COST SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. HONDA PAID HALF IN "GOODWILL". *TR

GASOLINE SMELL STARTED TO COME FROM ALL AROUND THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID FUEL PUMP HOUSING HAS A CRACK WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. DEALER SAID THERE WERE NO RECALL ON THIS BUT THE ISSUE SEEM TO BE HAPPENING TO FEW OTHERS ALSO. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER SINCE IT MAY CAUSE A VEHICLE TO CATCH FIRE. *TR

THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY- LOOKING ON LINE I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2005 FOR A MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAG SENSORS IN THE 2005 ODYSSEY - BUT OURS DID NOT GET THE RECALL NOTICE - IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER 2005 ODYSSEY OWNERS THAT ALSO CURRENTLY HAVING THIS ISSUE- THE 2005 RECALL ON THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE COMPREHENSIVE SO WE WOULD NOT BE GETTING MALFUNCTION WARNING. *TR

Other or unspecified, Engine, Jul 8, 2013
WE TOOK OUR VAN IN FOR SERVICING AND COMPLAINED TO THE HONDA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING VEHICLE VIBRATIONS THAT BECAME WORSE DURING REGULAR HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT (VCM) SYSTEM SHIFTED FROM 6 TO 4 CYLINDERS AND BACK AGAIN. WE ALSO STARTED EXPERIENCING A DISTINCT "CLUNK" SOUND DURING OUR VACATION TRIP IN LATE JUNE. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THREE MOTOR MOUNTS ("FRONT, REAR AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS") HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACING. THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, AS WELL AS AN OIL/FILTER CHANGE, AND VEHICLE MULTI-POINT INSPECTION. THE SUBTOTAL COST FOR JUST THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR WAS $987.13. WE DISCOVERED SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE REAR MOTOR, HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY OTHER 2005, 2006, & 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL & TOURING MODEL OWNERS. WE ARE NOW SEEKING "GOODWILL CONSIDERATION" FOR ALL, OR MOST OF THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT COST, SINCE LEARNING THAT THE ODYSSEY HASN'T BEEN RECALLED FOR CHECKS SINCE THE 1 DECEMBER 2006 SERVICE BULLETIN 06-083. *TR

THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR NEVER WORKED WELL. THEY SCREECHED AND SQUEALED AND WERE SLOW TO RESPOND. DESPITE MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND MECHANICS, THEY INSISTED NOTHING WAS WRONG. I REAR ENDED SOMEONE COMING DOWN A HILL BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE. THE DIFFERENCE IN SPEED MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 35 MPH. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I HIT THE SEATBELT WAY TOO HARD. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME DID HAVE HIS AIRBAGS GO OFF. *TR

Engine, Jun 26, 2013
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD HONDA CARS AND HAVE FOUND THEM TO BE RELIABLE UNTIL NOW. AFTER READING ALL OF THE RECALLS ON MY PERSONAL VEHICLE, I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT 90% OF THE RECALLS OR COMPLAINTS HAVE HAPPENED WITH MY CAR AS WELL. MOST FRUSTRATING IS THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS. BRAKES, TIRES, AND VIBRATION WHEN REACHING 60 MILES PER HOUR HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE. AFTER SPENDING LOTS OF MONEY ON THESE ISSUES OVER THE YEARS, IT SEEMS THAT TWO BROKEN ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS AS WELL AS ONE MORE CRACKED ONE COULD BE THE REASON. MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM SAFE AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA WILL NOT LISTEN TO THE COMPLAINTS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE MORE I TALK WITH OTHERS, THE MORE I REALIZE HOW BIG OF A PROBLEM THIS IS. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE DECIDES TO TAKE THIS ISSUE FURTHER. IT IS A SHAME THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER CAN NOT OWN UP TO SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY THEIR FAULT LIKE INADEQUATE ENGINE MOUNTS. WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CAR, SINCE MINE NOW NEEDS BRAKES AND ROTORS AGAIN, TIRES AGAIN, AND PRICEY ENGINE MOUNTS THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD. FROM A SAD AND DISAPPOINTED PREVIOUS HONDA CONSUMER. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY TWO CHILDREN ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING 75 MPH AND SUDDENLY SAW A FLUME OF SMOKE BEHIND MY CAR. I NOTICE THE RPM JUMPED AND I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE IMMEDIATELY. IT SMELLED LIKE SOME LIQUID WAS BURNING. PULL THE CAR OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND LOOK TO FIND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD LEAKED AND SPRAYED ALL OVER THE ENGINE, HOSES, BATTERY, RADIATOR, ETC - CAUSING THE SMELL. TOWED IT BACK TO MY HOUSE. WHEN THE CAR GOT TO THE HOUSE, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SHOWED US THAT THE ATF HAD LEAKED PROBABLY COMPLETELY OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE FOR HONDA TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION AND FIX MY CAR. IT'S NOT ONLY A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, IT ALSO A HAZARDOUS - WHAT IF IT HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE - WHEN THE FLUID SPRAYED OUT. *TR
