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).

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.

OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S BRAKE PEDAL WAS FINE UNTIL THE DEALER REPLACE THE VSA MODULATOR DUE TO FAILURE ON OCT 8,2008.THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL VERY LOW AND SPONGY WHEN APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM CHECK FOR PROBLEM ON OCT 16, 2008.THEY FOUND SMALL AIR POCKET IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND BLEED THE SYSTEM BUT STILL LITTLE LOW. ON NOV 9, 2009, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A 15,000 MILES SERVICES AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE LOW BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. THEY EVEN FLUSH THE BRAKING SYSTEM TWICE AND STILL FOUND PEDAL SLIGHTLY LOW. OUR QUESTION IS WHY DOES HONDA NOT INCLUDE OUR 2006 ODYSSEY IN THE 2007 & 2008 ODYSSEY RECALL AS WELL IF IT PRESENT THE SAME PROBLEM FOR OUR 2006. VSA MODULATOR WHERE SMALL POCKET OF AIR CAN GET INTO THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND CAN CAUSE LOW BRAKE PEDAL AND LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. *TR

MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAD BRAKING PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2006. IT IS HARD TO BRAKE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RUNS TO DOWNHILL ROAD. IT ALSO GIVES A NOISE WHEN I BRAKES.

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY SOMETIME IN EARLY 2007. ON MARCH 12, 2010 WE HAD TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS OF OUR BRAKES FOR THE 3RD TIME BECAUSE OF WARPED BRAKE ROTORS. RIGHT NOW THE ODYSSEY HAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES ON IT. SO BASICALLY, WE HAVE HAD TO RESURFACE OUR BRAKES ROTORS ON AVERAGE EVERY 23,000 MILES. BEFORE WE DO EACH RESURFACING, THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN WOULD SHAKE AND SHUDDER WITH BRAKING THAT OCCURS AT SPEEDS OVER 35MPH. WE HAVE HAD 6 DIFFERENT CARS IN OUR LIVES AND NONE OF THE CARS HAD TO HAVE THEIR ROTORS RESURFACED, EVER. *TR

BRAKE FAILURE ON HONDA ODYSSEY 2006 MODELS WHEN HAVING MORE THAN 5 PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE. VERY LOW BRAKING POWER AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 60 MPH. THIS HAS CAUSED A VERY CAUTIOUS DRIVING HABIT. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS INSPECTED AS GOOD CONDITION. HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS ON APPLICATION OF BRAKES EVERYTIME TO SLOW DOWN. TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN SLOPE. DRIVING DOWN SLOPE, THE BRAKES SQUEAL (METAL GRINDING OVER METAL). THIS INCIDENT OCCURS WHEN DRIVING LONGER THAN 15 MINUTES DOWNHILL WITH CONSTANT APPLICATION OF BRAKES. SHIFTED THE GEAR TO THE LOWEST, AND YET THERE IS NO BRAKING POWER. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN 4 MONTHS OLD. DEALER CHECKED THE VEHICLE TO BE FINE. *TR

I HAVE OWNED A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY FOR THREE YEARS AND THE BRAKE PADS HAVE A SEVERE GRINDING NOISE ONCE THEY HEAT UP. THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE THE BRAKES TO GRIND IS TO PERFORM THREE OR FOUR SUCCESSIVE STOPS, LIGHT, HARD, MED, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. BOTTOM LINE, ONCE THE BRAKES GET HOT, THE GRINDING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE COOLED. THE DEALER NOTED THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED/RESURFACED THE PADS AND ROTORS. ONE YEAR LATER AND THE PROBLEM WAS BACK. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT THE STOPPING DISTANCE TENDS TO INCREASE WHEN THE GRINDING IS TAKING PLACE. I HAVE ALSO NOTED THE SOFTENING BRAKE PEDAL IN MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. *TR

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY ROTOR BRAKES PROBLEMS! IN THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE REPLACED MY ROTOR BRAKES AND PADS 2 TIMES! HONDA DID A COURTESY REPLACEMENT IN 2007 AFTER COMPLAINING TO THEM THAT THE BRAKES ARE MAKING SCREECHING SOUNDS AND WHEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT JUST AFTER LESS THAN ONE YEAR THE ROTOR BRAKE IS WARPED. LAST OCT 2009, DURING SERVICE CHECK THEY SAID THE ROTOR BRAKE IS CRACKED/WARPED AGAIN AND WE NEED TO REPLACE IT AND THEY CANNOT COVER I HAD TO PAY. I USED THE VAN FOR WORK ( 8 MILES ONE -WAY). I COMPLAINED TO HONDA DCH OXNARD AND TOLD THEM THAT THE ROTOR BRAKE AND PADS WAS JUST REPLACED IN MID 2007 AND HOW A VAN THAT IS JUST USED FOR WORK COULD HAVE ITS ROTOR BRAKES FAIL IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS. THEY GAVE A LAME EXCUSE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A SOFT SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL, OFTEN GOING LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR WHILE BRAKING, ALLOWING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR TO BE DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BRAKE WHILE THE ENGINE IS RACING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL AND HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY AND IT TOOK MY VAN ABOUT 6-8 FEET TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO APPLY PRESSURE WITH BOTH FEET. I HAD TO TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO AVOID REAR-ENDING A TRUCK. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VAN WHILE GOING DOWN HILL. THE FIRST TIME, IN 2008, RESULTED IN A REAR-END COLLISION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. THE SECOND TIME, I HAD TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AGAIN THE SAME WAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS THE BRAKES DON'T CATCH WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL AND NEED TO COME TO A QUICK STOP.

MY WIFE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE AND TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. I IMMEDIATELY NOTED A VERY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED, THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT ROLLED FORWARD WHILE THE BRAKE WAS SET BUT I FEEL IT MAY IF IT SAT LONG ENOUGH WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. NO REPAIR HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED AS I'M NOT CERTAIN OF THE CAUSE. BRAKE FLUID IS NOT LOW SO I ASSUME AIR HAS SOMEHOW GOTTEN INTO THE BRAKE LINES. *TR
