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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY DECELERATED TO 20 MPH. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 65 MPH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

WHILE DRIVING 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AT HIGHWAY SPEED NOTICEABLE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMY WHILE ACCELERATING AND COASTING. CHANGED WHEELS TIRES POWERSTEERING PUMP ROTATION OF TIRES BRAKE ROTORS AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. ALL TIRES WERE BALANCED. *KB
Power train, Dec 29, 2011
DURING ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION, THE STEERING AND TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. WHEN THIS CONDITION HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND CAN EASILY BECOME UNSAFE. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE CAN SHUDDER AND EASILY SHIFT TO ONE SIDE. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST YEAR. IT IS NOW HAPPENING REPEATEDLY AND WITH INCREASING SEVERITY. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES AND CHECKED ALIGNMENT. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED BRAKES AND TURNED ROTORS. THE DEALER INDICATED TODAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION. *KB

Structure, Dec 26, 2011
IN THE SUMMER OF 2009, MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY DEVELOPED A STRONG, FOUL ODOR FOR WHICH NO SOURCE COULD BE FOUND. I VACUUMED THE CARPET, LEFT CONTAINERS OF BAKING SODA INSIDE, AND EVEN THREW AWAY THE RUBBER FLOOR MATS, THINKING THEY HAD DETERIORATED IN THE SUMMER HEAT. THE ODOR DID NOT GO AWAY. (THE CAR HAD BEEN GARAGE-KEPT UNTIL AROUND THAT TIME.) IN 2010, WHEN TAKING THE CAR FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM. HE WANTED TO REPLACE THE CABIN AIR FILTER, WHICH I HAD ALREADY DONE MYSELF. IN SEPTEMBER, 2011, AFTER HURRICANE IRENE, THE TAILGATE HATCH WOULD SLOSH AND SPILL WATER WHEN OPENED. THIS PAST WEEK, I WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR ON AN EXTENDED TRIP. WHEN I WENT TO LIFT THE REAR SEATS, WHICH HAD BEEN FOLDED INTO THE CARGO AREA, TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE SEATS WERE COVERED IN MOLD AND RUST AND WERE DRIPPING WITH WATER. THE CARGO AREA CARPETING WAS SATURATED. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST NOVEMBER, 2010. BESIDES THE HEATH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPOSURE TO INHALING MOLD, THE RUST MAY HAVE COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE HARDWARE SECURING THE SEATS TO THE FLOOR, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE LEATHER OF THE SEATS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,026.

MY 5 YEAR OLD HONDA ODYSSEY WITH ONLY 68475 MILES HAS O FAULTY FRONT ENGINE MOUNT. AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A PREDOMINANT PROBLEM WITH 05-2009 YEAR ODYSSEYS. IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD BE NICE IF HONDA ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. IT HAS AN INCONSISTENT BUZZ, WHINE, HUM THAT CAN BE HEARD PREDOMINANTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. AT TIMES, THE STEERING BECOMES TIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETINS: TSB 2007 FOR THE STEERING RESERVOIR, AND TSB 2010 FOR THE STEERING PUMP. I WILL BE CALLING THE LOCAL DEALER WITH HOPES OF CORRECTING A POOR DESIGN BY HONDA. *TR
Engine and engine cooling, Visibility, Nov 11, 2011
FAILURE OF EXHAUST SYSTEM HEAT SHIELDS COULD CAUSE VEHICLE FIRE. CONSUMER HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT THE SAFETY SHIELDS ARE NO LONGER IN PLACE. DEALER INDICATED EXHAUST SYSTEM HEAT SHIELDS WERE LOOSE AND MISSING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. DEALER INDICATED FAILURE TO REPLACE COULD RESULT IN MELTING OF INSULATION ON ELECTRICAL WIRES. I FEEL THE HEAT SHIELDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED USING STAINLESS STEEL TO PREVENT CORROSION AND LOSS OF THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE. AT $615 TO REPLACE, IT IS UNLIKELY MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE THIS WORK PERFORMED, ESPECIALLY AS THE VEHICLE AGES. THERE ARE NORMAL/EXPECTED SAFETY FEATURES THAT CAR OWNERS EXPECT TO REPLACE (TIRES, WIPER BLADES AND BULBS). THE CONSUMER HAS NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THE SAFETY SHIELDS HAVE FALLEN FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN CONTACTING HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE CAR OPERATING IN A SAFE MANNER. BUT IF I WAS NOT TOLD (BY THE DEALER) THAT I HAD A SAFETY ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING. THERE ARE LIKELY MANY OTHER UNSUSPECTING ODYSSEY OWNERS WITH THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY/FIRE HAZARD. *TR

AT LESS THAN 80,000 MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A BROKEN REAR ENGINE MOUNT CAUSING VIBRATION/RATLLING NOISE. SEVERAL HONDA ODYSSEY VAN OWNERS HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINT. *TT
Engine and engine cooling, Oct 25, 2011
OUR CAR STARTED HAVING A LOUDER ENGINE/TRANSMISSION NOISE DURING ACCELERATION AND GOING UPHILL. WHEN THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT THEY SAID THAT THE REAR ENGINE MOUNT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED (AT A COST OF $800 PLUS). AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY THAT OCCURS BECAUSE OF THE VARIABLE CYLINDER ENGINE, WHICH CUTS OUT 2 CYLINDERS WHEN THEY ARE NOT NEEDED AND THUS SAVES GAS MILEAGE ON THESE CARS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT ON THESE CARS WAS DESIGNED TO HELP DAMPEN ANY VIBRATION CAUSED WHEN THE 2 CYLINDERS WERE NOT IN USE AND HAS BEEN WEARING OUT BEFORE ITS REGULAR LIFE (SOME AT 50,000 MILES). I REQUEST THAT NHTSA LOOK INTO BOTH THE DESIGN OF THIS DEVICE AND ALSO THE EXCESSIVE COST OF THE PART FOR THESE CARS (OTHER ENGINE MOUNTS ARE CONSIDERABLY CHEAPER) -- AND I PROPOSE A RECALL TO REPLACE THE PART. THANK YOU. *TT
Air bags, Oct 17, 2011
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHEN THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE AIR BAG SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 120,098.
Engine and engine cooling, Electrical system, Oct 11, 2011
RECENTLY I HAVE FELT A "SHUDDERING" AT SPEEDS BELOW 40MPH. I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP FOR THAT PROBLEM AS WELL AS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MY POWER SLIDING DOORS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY DOORS. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR IN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR(WHICH WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY AT THE TIME). AND NOW I AM LOOKING AT REPLACING POWER DOOR CENTER ROLLERS IN BOTH POWER SLIDING DOORS AT AN ESTIMATED $560.00 (AND NO LONGER HAVE WARRANTY). SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN A HASSLE WITH THE POWER SLIDING DOORS. THEY CLOSED HALF WAY ON MY CHILDREN GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR ALL THE TIME. AND DON'T WORK THE OTHER HALF OF THE TIME. THE ISSUE WITH THE "SHUDDERING" IS DUE TO FRONT AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED $1355.00. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT ALOT OF THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAPPENING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE. I THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THE "DEFECTIVE ENGINE MOUNTS". THIS CANNOT BE SAFE TO RIDE IN. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS CALLING IT A "KNOWN ISSUE" BUT STILL NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM OR REIMBURSING PEOPLE THE COST OF REPAIRS. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS OR EVEN GET INJURED BEFORE HONDA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT??? *KB

I WAS TOLD AT A 90,000 MILE SERVICE THAT MY REAR MOTOR MOUNT IS CRACKING. THIS SEEMS AWFULLY EARLY FOR THIS PROBLEM. FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ON VARIOUS CAR-BASED WEBSITES.

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE PART IN REAR MOTOR MOUNTS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HONDA WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM THEY WERE PASSING THE COST TO THE CONSUMER. THE CONSUMER STATED HE STARTED COMPLAINING ABOUT THE VIBRATION PROBLEM IN JULY 2007. DESPITESEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, WITHOUT FULLY GETTING THE PROBLEM RESOLVED THE REAR MOTOR MOUNTS WERE NEVER LOOKED AT UNTIL THE VAN WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER WAS THEN INFORMED IT WOULD COST $1000 TO REPAIR A PROBLEM THAT HONDA WAS WELL AWARE OF. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED HE WAS CHARGED $26.00 TO UN-TWIST THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT. THE DEALER STATED SEAT BELT DON'T TWIST BY THEMSELVES. TWO WEEKS LATER, AFTER LIMITED USE OF THE SET BELT, IT TWISTED AGAIN. *JB THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 10/04/11
Steering, Sep 23, 2011
OCCASIONALLY DURING HEAVY RAIN, WE LOOSE OUR POWER STEERING FOR A PERIOD OF 20-45 SECONDS OR MORE. AT THE SAME TIME THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS UP. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. FORTUNATELY IT HAS NOT HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT AS OF YET. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. WE HAVE NOTIFIED THE HONDA DEALER WHOM TRIED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM BY CHANGING THE POWER STEERING PUMP BUT THIS FAILED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND THE ISSUE REMAINS. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A HONDA ODYSSEY 2006 EX-L, I HAVE RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED IT AND HAVE USED HONDA FILTERS, OILS AND LUBRICANTS, HAVE DONE OIL CHANGES EVERY 7,500 PER HONDA MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND REPLACED TRANNY FLUID EVERY 15,000 MILES, ESPECIALLY AFTER KNOWING THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS ODYSSEY'S AND CURRENT ONES. AT 52,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT (KNOWN ISSUE THAT HONDA WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE) THANKFULLY EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED IT. AT 90,700 (MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 85,200 MILES) MY TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE (I HAVE HAD 2 INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND A HONDA DEALERSHIP VERIFY THE TRANNY IS GOING SOUTH). IN ADDITION TO THE MOTOR MOUNT AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES, THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD RECALLS TO REPLACE FRONT BRAKE PADS, BRAKE MASTER "O" RING, POWER STEERING PUMP AND PAINT PEELING. FOR A $33K VEHICLE, IT SURE IS A LEMON. *TR
Steering, Wheels, Sep 20, 2011
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE AMERICAN HONDA DATED SUMMER 2011, REGARDING THE WARRANTY EXTENSION OF THE "STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN AT LOW SPEEDS AND ENGINE RPM." THE TERM IS UP TO 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. I BOUGHT MY VAN IN AUGUST OF 2006, HOWEVER, SINCE I DRIVE ALMOST 100 MILES A DAY (HOME TO WORK), I HAVE MORE THAN 100,000. HERE IS MY CONCERN, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAID PROBLEM (REGARDING THE STEERING WHEELS IS HARD TO TURN) IN THE HONDA DEALER IN CORONA EVEN BEFORE RECEIVING THIS LETTER, BUT ALL THEY SAID THAT IT COULD BE RELATED TO COLD WEATHER. LATER ON ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO, THEY SAID THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. RIGHT AFTER I RECEIVED THIS LETTER FROM AMERICAN HONDA, I GAVE THEM A CALL AND TOLD THEM THAT I'M ALREADY HAVING THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, AND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WAS BROKE. I ASKED THEM IF I CAN BRING MY VAN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP EVENTHOUGH MY MILEAGE NOW IS MORE THAN WHAT THEY WANT WHICH IS 100,000 MILES. THEY SAID, THEY CAN'T HELP ME BECAUSE THEY ARE STRICT ON WARRANTY EXTENSION. AND, SINCE MY MILEAGE IS NOW 165,000 MILES, THEY CAN'T HELP ME EVEN IF THE YEARS QUALIFIES ME. THEY SAID TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND WHERE I BRING MY CAR FOR REPAIR AND SEE IF THEY CAN GIVE ME A DISCOUNT TO FIX IT. THE POINT IS IT IS NOT FAIR FOR THEM TO SET A LIMIT ON THEIR WARRANTY BECAUSE THIS IS AN OBVIOUS FACTORY DEFECT. THEY SHOULD HAVE COVERED THE ODYSSEY 2006 REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE BECAUSE BASED ON THIS LETTER, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS A LOT OF COMPLAINS ABOUT IT. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT I AM HOPING THAT BY REPORTING THIS, WE CAN CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT DEFECT AS A RECALL. *TR
