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.

TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEED IAW SPEED LIMITS AND TRAFFIC FLOW, NOTICED SURGING (LIKE SLIPPING) FROM TRANSMISSION, NOTICED DRIVE INDICATOR BLINKING, ENGINE REVS SURGING WITH TRANSMISSION SURGES. I HOPE TO MAKE NEAREST SAFE AREA TO PULL OVER (REST PLAZA LESS THAN 7 MILES AWAY) GOT 4 MILES. HAD REDUCED SPEED TO RELIEVE STRESS ON TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. SPEED CONTINUED TO REDUCE SUDDENLY TO BELOW 45 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO FIND SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER. TRANSMISION LOCKED INTO DRIVE POSITION COULD NOT SHIFT TO ANY GEAR. NO GRINDING SOUNDS WERE EVER HEARD. I WAS BY MYSELF BUT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE. COULD LEAD TO DEATH FROM BEING HIT FROM REAR BY ANOTHER CAR OR TRUCK AS TRANSMISSION'S RAPID RATE OF DECELERATION CAUSE BY ITS FAILURE. LOOKED UP BLINKING TRANSMISSION INDICATOR AND DID NOT FIND ANY WARNING OR NOTIFICATION AS TO POSSIBLE CAUSE. FOUND OUT THAT HONDA ODESSESY'S TRANSMISSION HAS HISTORY OF CATISTROPHIC FAILURE IF NOT SERVICED EVERY 35K (VARIES ACCORDING TO COMPLAINT). AGAIN NO WQARNING OF THIS POSSIBLE EVENT MENTIONED IN OWNER'S MANUEL. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OR ITS SERVICE RECORD. I DID HAVE IT SERVICED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT BUT AGAIN HAD NO WARNING. IRONICALLY, I'M AN AUTOMOTIVE RELIABILITY/SAFETY MANAGER BY PROFESSION.

WAS PARKED AT GROCERY STORE WHEN A CABLE SNAPPED ON OUR DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR. POWER WAS LOST TO THE DOOR AND UPON ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE MANUALLY THE DOOR FELL OFF AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY INJURED SOMEONE AS THE BACK OF THE DOORS CORNER HIT THE GROUND WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CRUSH IF NOT SEVER A FOOT. THIS LEFT OUR VEHICLE DISABLED AND LEFT US STRANDED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE AFTER 25 MINUTES OF TRYING AND FINALLY GETTING IT CLOSED I HEADED HOME. ONLY TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I CAN HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THE WINDOW IS DOWN YET IT'S NOT. ALL THE WINDOWS WHERE CLOSED AND THE AC WAS ON. THEN I SAW THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON FOR THAT DOOR. THE DOOR HAD COME UNLATCHED ENOUGH DROP TO CHANGE THROUGH. I BOUGHT THIS VAN AND LOVED IT NOW I AM SERIOUSLY RECONSIDERING EVER BUYING ONE AGAIN. MY SISTER HAS THE 2006 AND SHE HAS HAD IT HAPPEN WITH BOTH DOOR ONE EVEN COMING OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 40 MPH. MY OTHER SISTER ALSO HAS AN ODYSSEY THE 2003 AND SHE HAS ALSO HAS SAFETY ISSUES WITH HER POWER DOOR. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD AND NOW I'M HEARING MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY, SOMETIMES STAYS ON FOR DURATION OF THE DRIVE, SOMETIMES GOES OFF. THIS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT SINCE EARLY 2014. REPORTED THIS TO DEALER WHEN TAKATA RECALL HAPPENED. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND OFFERED TO DIAGNOSE AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE FOR $90. I HAVE DECLINED THIS OFFER. IN LIGHT OF TAKATA RECALL, AND MY VEHICLE'S MAKE/MODEL IN RELATION, I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE.

ON JUNE 15, 2015 MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED UNTIL NOW, I WAS SCARED DUE TO AIRBAG MIGHT BLOWN OUT OR CAUSING ANY TROUBLE WHILE VEHICLE IN USE OR WORST SOMETHING HAPPEN. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER ON JUNE 16, AND I WAS TOLD NO RECALLS. THEY DID SOME DIAGNOSE AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE AND WIRING ON DRIVER SIDE, THE BUCKLE WAS REPLACE (FREE OF CHARGE), BUT THE WIRING COST $550 TO HAVE IT FIX. I REFUSED THE SERVICE DUE TO NO SENSE AND NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO PROVE THE ISSUE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND SAME ISSUE ON SAME VEHICLE THAT HAS AIRBAG SYSTEM LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. I DO BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER SHOULD ADDRESS THIS AS RECALL ESPECIALLY IF THE VEHICLE NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THANKS

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?
Wheels, Jun 14, 2015
THE STEEL WHEEL ON DRIVER SIDE FRONT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A MAJOR CRACK IN IT. UPON EXAMINATION BY HONDA OF WESTPORT, FETZER TIRE AND HANK MAY IT IS THEIR CONCLUSION THAT THE WHEEL HAS STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE WHEEL WAS PURCHASED AT HANK MAY IN STAMFORD CT., WHO GOT THE WHEELS FROM WHEEL FIX IT IN FREEPORT LONG ISLAND (WWW.WHEELFIXIT.COM/). THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUE OR RESPONSIBILITY RE: THE WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THESE WHEELS I HAVE LEARNED....NEVER DID 'FIT' THE ODYSSEY. THEY WERE MACHINE LATHED POORLY AND BOUNCED ON THE HUB SPOKES, CAUSING VIBRATION. AGAIN, WHEEL FIX IT DENIES ANY ISSUE WITH THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. I HAVE PHOTO'S OF THE CRACKED WHEEL WHICH I HAVE TAKEN OFF THE CAR, OF COURSE.

Service brakes, May 25, 2015
THE ABS BRAKES PERFORM NORMALLY 90% OF THE TIME . HOWEVER AT LEAST ONCE DURING A TRIP USUALLY AT 5 OR 10 MPH SPEED I STEP ON THE BRAKES AND MUST FLOOR THEM WITH EXTREME PRESSURE TO GET THEM TO WORK .I END UP STOPPING 5 TO 10 FEET PAST WHERE I SHOULD . THE REMAINDER OF A TRIP THE BRAKES SEEM TO BEHAVE NORMALLY . NO BRAKE WARNINGS APPEAR ON THE DASH AND MY FLUID LEVEL IS NORMAL WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS .

I'VE THIS HONDA ODYSSEY SINCE DEC 2010 WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AROUND 42000 MILES. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE FROM ANOTHER PERSON(1ST OWNER), I KNEW I HAD TO FIX THE ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE VEHICLE HAD JUST 44000 MILES AND I HAD CHANGED ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS AT 45412 MILES ON 03/17/2011. NOW, AS OF 05/19/2015, THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 96000 MILES. I HAVE TO CHANGE SIDE AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS AGAIN ON 05/19/2015. THIS DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA PARTS AND HOW THEY ARE WORKING WHEN THE VAN IS IN MOTION. CHANGING MOTOR MOUNTS 2 TIMES IN LESS THAN 100,000 MILES IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING AND WASTE OF UNNECESSARY MONEY. MY WIFE USES THIS VAN FOR HER DAILY WORK COMMUTE. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT HAS LESS MILES AND I'VE DONE ALL THE SERVICES REGULARLY AS IT IS THE PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE. SO, I REQUEST HONDA TO CONSIDER THIS AS A GENUINE REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. I'VE THE RECEIPTS FOR THESE 2 SERVICES. ALSO, I'VE SEEN SEVERAL HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 VANS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, SO HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS MOTOR MOUNTS PROBLEM AND FIX AT THEIR COST OR REIMBURSE FOR ALREADY REPAIRED VANS

AS I STARTED TO RECEIVE NOTICE THAT MY NAVIGATION DISC NEEDED REPLACING, THE DISC FAILED, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENTIRE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND RENDERING ALL CONSOLE CONTROLS USELESS. THOUGH THAT IS IRRITATING, THE SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT IT ALSO SHUT DOWN THE USE OF MY BACK-UP CAMERA. ALTHOUGH I AM ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE CAMERA, SEVERAL "ALMOST" ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THE BLIND SPOTS I CAN NO LONGER SEE WITHOUT THE USE OF THE CAMERA.

PLEASE, JUST CHECK PROBLEM WITH AIR BAGS! HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2005/HONDA/ODYSSEY/AIR_BAGS/PROBLEM.ASPX AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND OFF. AFTER TWO YEARS THE LIGHT ON MOST OF THE TIME AND IT WENT OFF AUTOMATICALLY FOR A WHILE THEN CAME BACK ON. I CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR INC. THEY DON'T WANT TO CREATE A RECALL FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT WILL BE DIFFERENT COMPONENT FAIL IN THAT CASE. THEY JUST WANT TO CREATE THE RECALL FOR EACH COMPONENT BREAK DOWN. THEY NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST AND DEPEND ON WHICH COMPONENT UNDER WARRANTY THEN HONDA WILL NOT CHARGE THE PARTS. OTHERWISE WE NEED TO PAY ALL THE REPAIR. I REQUEST FOR THE RECALL FOR THE SRS LIGHT ON. BECAUSE A LOT OF THE OWNERS THINK THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT THEY THINK JUST THE LIGHT IS ON AND KEEP DRIVING. I WAS THINKING THE SAME WAY TOO. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO REQUEST THAT RECALL ASAP FOR THE SRS LIGHT ON SO WE WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE LIFE IN ADVANCE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MANY, MANY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. FOR SOME REASON MANUFACTURE YEAR 2005 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL? WE GOT THE INITIAL LETTER TELLING US OUR AIR BAGS WOULD BE A RECALL ITEM IN THE SUMMER, 2014 BUT THEN NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW-UP LETTER. UPON INVESTIGATION ON MY PART I FOUND OUT THAT MY MODEL YEAR, 2005, AIR BAGS DID NOT GET RECALLED. BUT WE ARE HAVING THE SAME AIR BAG ISSUE AND SEEMS LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY MATTER. *TR
