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).

Service brakes, hydraulic, foundation components, master cylinderOct 22, 2010
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.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. IN 2014, WHILE DRIVING UP HILL ON THE GRAPEVINE IN GORMAN, CA I HIT THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT MOVE. IT WAS STUCK ON 40MPS. I TRIED PUSHING ON THE GAS, BUT THAT DID NOTHING. IT WAS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS JUST NOT WORKING. I STARTED TO LOOSE POWER AS WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BY DIVINE INTERVENTION. THANK YOU AAA FOR TOWING ME TO SCOTT ROBINSONS HONDA- TORRANCE, CA. AFTER ALL OF THIS AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SPEED SENSOR THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IS WHAT IT WAS, SO THAT IS WHAT IT HAS TO BE. THEY NEVER MAKE MISTAKES. ON JUNE 22, 2016 GOING UP HILL, AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PICK UP SPEED, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT MOVE. PUSHING ON THE GAS DID NOTHING. I CONTINUED TO MOVE UNTIL THE HILL BECAME TO STEEP, AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED. STARTING TO ROLL BACKWARDS, I HIT THE BRAKES AND HELD ON FOR DEAL LIFE. ONCE AGAIN AAA HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO HONDA. WELL, GUESS WHAT THEY SAID THIS TIME. YOU NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. YES, THAT IS WHAT THEY SAID THIS 2ND TIME. AT 140K MILES, I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS GOING TO COST ME $6,000. WFT! MY 1997 FORD WINDSTAR IS STILL GOING STRONG WITH 250K MILES. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT HONDA, BUT I AM GETTING NOWHERE. NO RETURN CALLS, NO COMMUNICATION NOTHING. I WILL NEVER BUY HONDA ANYTHING AGAIN. *TR

HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS AGAIN. REPLACED THE FRONT MOUNT IN OCT. 2014. FAULTY AGAIN. CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS. WAS TOLD ENGINE COULD FALL DOWN WHEN DRIVING. NHTSA NEED TO CHECK INTO THIS. I'M SURE HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT.

MY HONDA ODYSSEY IS BURNING TOO MUCH OIL THAN IT SHOULD. I AM NEEDING TO ADD 1 QUART EVERY 2 WEEKS IF THAT AS IT IS ALREADY DOWN 1 QUART. IT IS REGULARLY ON TIME GOING IN FOR OIL CHANGES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED SINCE I'VE BOUGHT IT IN 2015. IT HAS HAD MANY OTHER ISSUES AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED. NOW THIS IS SEEMINGLY A PROBLEM. THE OIL PERCENTAGE IS NOT TELLING ME THAT IT IS LOW OR NONE AT ALL. NO OIL DUMMY LIGHTS HAVE COME ON WHEN I HAVE NOT A DROP OF OIL. I HAVE SWITCHED AND USED HIGH MILEAGE OIL RATHER THAN CONVENTIONAL AND GO EVERY 3,000 MILES & EVEN DID A TREATMENT RECENTLY. NOTHING IS DOING THE JOB.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WITH 3.5L VTEC ENGINE FOR WHICH HONDA WAS FOUND LIABLE ON 2008-2013 ODYSSEY AND A SLEW OF OTHER MODELS. MY 2005 IS DOING THE SAME THING YET 2005-2007 CARS ARE NOT INCLUDED. SAFETY WISE - WHEN THE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW ENOUGH, THE ENGINE WILL LOSE NEARLY ALL POWER AND CANNOT SAFELY ACCELERATE (BARELY MAINTAIN SPEED) YET, THE ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON IN THE VEHICLE...

WHILE DRIVING, ACCELERATION OF FIRST GEAR IS HAMPERED, VEHICLE HAS LOSS OF POWER AND SLIPS GEARS. UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC OR THE ABILITY TO GET OUT OF THE WAY WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION SAFELY. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 57000 MILES ON ENGINE.

DRIVING THROUGH A LOCAL PARK WITH 3 SPEED TABLES, AFTER CROSSING THE 3RD TABLE I HEARD A CLUNK FROM THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, LOST THE POWER STEERING AND THE CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING AS THERE WAS NO SAFE PLACE TO STOP. I DROVE SLOWLY WITHOUT POWER STEERING, THE CLUNKING CONTUNIED UNTIL SOMETHING BROKE FREE AND I NOTED IT'S LOCATION ON THE ROAD IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE PLACE WITHIN 30 MINS SO THE PART WAS STILL THERE. IT WAS A METAL RING WITH GROOVES ON THE OUTSIDE, LOOKED LIKE A BELT WENT ON IT. I GOT IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE HARMONIC BALANCER WAS GONE AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOOSING STEERING IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BY HONDA.

THE REAR PASSENGER OCCUPANT SUSTAINED SLIGHT BURNS TO THE WRIST. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR CLOSES, LATCHES AND THEN 5 SECONDS LATER UNLATCHES ITSELF ELECTRONICALLY. THE DOOR REFUSES TO CLOSE COMPLETELY AND CAN EASILY OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION ESPECIALLY IF PASSENGERS ARE IN THE SECOND SEATING ROW. THIS HAPPENED BY ITSELF OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE - I CANNOT PIN AN EXACT ACTION THAT MADE THIS OCCUR OTHER THAN REPEATED USAGE. IN ORDER TO KEEP THE DOOR FROM REOPENING, I HAD TO REMOVE THE FUSE (#7) THAT CONTROLS THE POWER SLIDING DOORS. NOW ONLY THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR IS USED AND MUST BE OPERATED MANUALLY. ALSO REMOTE POWER LOCKS HAVE BEEN DISABLED BECAUSE OF REMOVAL OF THE FUSE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

OUR 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VIBRATES, ESPECIALLY AROUND 35-45 MPH. HONDA TOLD US THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE BROKEN AND THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING IT. THEY ARE NOT A CHEAP FIX. ENGINE MOUNTS, THE LAST THING THAT YOU WOULD THINK WOULD GO OUT ON A VEHICLE! YET, WHEN YOU GO ONLINE, THIS APPARENTLY SEEMS TO BE A MASSIVE PROBLEM WITH THESE VANS. HONDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ENGINE MOUNTS BRAKING AND THIS SEEMS TO BE OK WITH THEM. THIS IS NOT OK. THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAILURE. WE HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH HAVING TO REPLACE MANY OTHER FAILURES FROM HONDA THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, INCLUDING REPLACING THE FUEL CAP BEFORE THEY RECALLED IT. WE WILL NO LONGER BE PURCHASING HONDA VEHICLES.

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.
