Fuel system, gasoline, delivery, fuel pumpJul 28, 2014
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 NOTICED AN OIL LEAK ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC HE FOUND THAT THE SPOOL VALVE IS LEAKING. THE HONDA DEALER INFORMED US THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. THE OIL IS LEAKING ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND IS A VERY POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE IS A VERY SERIOUS ONE. *TR

ENGINE VIBRATING VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OF 35-40 MPH AND WHEN RPM ARE BETWEEN 1,500 TO 2,000. THE POSSIBLE CAUSES ARE FAULTY ENGINE MOUNTS, TRANSMISSION, OR ENGINE. HONDA REPLACED THE POWER STEERING DUE TO PROBLEMS. I ALSO REPLACED THE RUN FLAT TIRES WITH NON RUN FLAT BECAUSE THE RUN FLAT LAST ONLY 1 YEAR. I WANT TO VIBRATION TO BE RESOLVED. THE VIBRATION APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ACCORDING TO ONLINE HONDA OWNERS GROUPS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY VALVE IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON JANUARY 14, 2014, AS I WAS GETTING UP TO SPEED (FROM 0 TO 20), THE ENGINE REVVED AROUND 2000 RPM, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE 2ND GEAR. I BACKED OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP AND I DROVE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED AN INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. I HAVE OWNED 7 HONDAS SINCE 1983, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THE VAN IS AT A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION FOR $1500, HONDA WANTED $5300. THE VAN HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED OVER THE YEARS AND I'M VERY SURPRISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO AT 141,000 MILES, BUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ODYSSEY LINEUP OVER THE YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES PRIOR TO PURCHASE. DISAPPOINTING. *TR

I AM WRITING YOU IN REFERENCE TO MY HONDA ODYSSEY THAT WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2006. IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR (2013) THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO HAVE THE VAN TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP IN VERMONT TO GET FIXED. THE SHOP HAD TO DO A TRANSMISSION REBUILD. THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT COST ME THREE THOUSAND AND FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE DOLLARS ($3463.00). I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF THE AUTO SHOP AND HE ADVISED ME THAT HONDA ODYSSEY'S ARE KNOWN TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I ALSO VERIFIED THIS INFORMATION ON-LINE. *TR

DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. MY VAN SUDDENLY GAVE A LOUD EXPLOSIVE SOUND AND THE CABIN FILLED UP WITH SMOKE AND I COULD NOT BREATHE OR SEE PROPERLY. I WONDERED WHAT WAS GOING ON AND QUICKLY PULLED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO GET OUT OF THE VAN SINCE I AM DISABLED. MY HUSBAND HAD TO LITERALLY SPEAKING, CARRY ME OUT AND SAT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PASSERS BY HAD ALREADY CALLED 911 WHEN THEY NOTICED WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE POLICE, AMBULANCE AND FIRE DEPT CAME. THE FIRE DEPT DETERMINED THAT MY VAN WAS SMOKING HEAVILY AND THEY TOOK CARE OF THE FIRE IN MY ENGINE WHEN THEY OPENED THE HOOD. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THIS WILL THEN BE THE THIRD TRANSMISSION IN A VAN THAT IS LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN JULY 2011 AT 80,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED THEN WITH PROMISES FROM HONDA THAT I WAS GOOD FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS. SO WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED EXACTLY 2 YEARS TO THE TIME THAT THE SECOND TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A THIRD TRANSMISSION. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT I ALWAYS SERVICED MY VAN WITH THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED WITH THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. I AM STILL MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON MY VAN AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION? I WILL APPRECIATE AN INVESTIGATION ON WHY HONDA IS ALLOWED TO SELL LEMONS TO CONSUMERS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE ODYSSEY VANS. SMOKE AND FIRE DUE TO RECURRING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE SAME VAN IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I PRAY THAT NO ONE WILL BE KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO RECURRING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH HONDA ODYSSEY VANS. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN PROTECTING AND ENSURING CONSUMER SAFETY AS WE DRIVE OUR CARS. *TR

THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 100,600 MILES, WE WERE DRIVING APPROX 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE RPM'S INCREASED GREATLY BUT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SOON, WHITE SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE FRONT AS WE COASTED TO THE NEAREST EXIT APPROX 1 MILE AWAY. IT TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. ALL REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMED. TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH JUST 100K MILES. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED LUGGING BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MILES AN HOUR AND THE LUGGING IS OFTEN PRECEDED BY A WHINING SOUND. SPOKE WITH HONDA MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH TORQUE CONVERTER AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
Power train, Engine, Jan 30, 2013
MY ODYSSEY LOST POWER/WOULDN'T ACCELERATE/WOULDN'T SHIFT AS WE APPROACHED THE TOP OF A 7% GRADE. WE PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED FLUIDS ETC.. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WE TRIED TO GET GOING AGAIN AND THE VAN WOULDN'T GO. WE SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND TRIED AGAIN, AND THE VAN GOT GOING AGAIN PERFECTLY FINE. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO HONDA WHEN IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. HONDA DIAGNOSED IT WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTER. THE ATF FLUID WAS BURNT (MY ODYSSEY HAS THE ATF FLUID COOLER TOO). THE TECH SAID THE VCM (ECO MODE, VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT) INCREASES THE LOAD/STRESS ON THE VEHICLE AND IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR OF THE BREAK DOWN. MY ODYSSEY HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AT HONDA Y HONDA SPECS/RECOMMENDATIONS. I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATION MY TRANS WAS GOING OUT (NO GEAR SLIPPING ANYTHING. IT DROVE FINE UP UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN) I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR, AND THEY FAILED TO EVEN OFFER ANY SORT OF HELP. FROM WHAT I'VE GOOGLED, HONDA ODYSSEYS HAVE COMMON TRANS/TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES AND AMERICAN HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS ON THE ODYSSEYS. AFTER THIS, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. *TR
Power train, Jan 29, 2013
THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE BECAUSE OF AN INHERENT DESIGN PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP STOPS WORKING CORRECTLY INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, THE PRESSURE IS TOO LOW AND THE TRANSMISSION GRINDS ITSELF UP. THE CAR WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND STOP MOVING. THERE IS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE ABOUT IT IN PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $4000 OR MORE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AFTER 7 YEARS EVEN IF THE CAR HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

BASED ON A REPORT TODAY THAT HONDA IS RECALLING 2003/2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WHERE THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE IGNITION INTERLOCK, A DEVICE INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE KEY CAN ONLY BE REMOVED WHEN A VEHICLE IS FIRMLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AND HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE IN 2010 WHERE AFTER PARKING AND REMOVING MY KEYS AND I GOT DOWN, THE VAN MOVED BACKWARDS AND THE MY FRONT DOOR HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE PARKING LOT DAMAGING BOTH CARS, AND I HAD TO FILE A CLAIM WITH UNITRIN DIRECT. THE RESULT BEING I HAVE A FAULT ACCIDENT RECORD ON MY LICENSE AND MY INSURANCE WENT UP FOR NO FAULT OF MINE. I THINK HONDA SHOULD RECALL EVEN THE 2006 MODEL AND PAY ME BACK FROM MY REPAIRS AND EXTRA INSURANCE PAYMENTS THAT I HAVE PAID AND WORK WITH DMV/UNITRIN TO REMOVE THE FAULT ACCIDENT RECORD THAT I HAVE ON MY LICENSE. *TR

IT SEEMS FINE WHEN I QUICKLY ACCELERATE. NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I KNOW IT'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T FIND THE SHUDDER. IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ONLY DROVE IT FOR 2 MILES.
