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.

TOOK 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN COMPLAINING OF STRONG ENGINE SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING AND BETWEEN GEAR SHIFTS. SHUDDER IS SO STRONG WHOLE CAR SHIMMIES INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THIS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS (AT 60,000 AND 90,000) AND IT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY DIAGNOSED. JUST 5 MONTHS AND A FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. VERY INTERESTING THAT IT'S THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE BEEN IN FOR BEFORE WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
Electrical system, Latches/locks/linkages, Aug 30, 2010
MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD TWO DOG CRATES IN THE BACK OF THE MINIVAN WITH DOGS IN THEM. THE DOORS HAD BEEN LOCKED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE OCCURRING. ONCE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DIED, I HAD NO WAY TO OPEN THE TAILGATE IN ORDER TO GET THE DOGS OUT OF THE CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE EMERGENCY RELEASE BECAUSE IT WAS BLOCKED BY THE DOG CRATES. THERE IS NO OUTSIDE KEY ACCESS FOR THE TAILGATE NOR A MANUAL RELEASE IN THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT. *TR

THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE STEERING BOLTS HAD FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

THE POWER LIFT GATE ON 2006 ODYSSEY FAILED HITTING MY HUSBAND ON THE SHOULDER. WE HAD NO PRIOR WARNING OF THIS HAPPENING AND IT COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A MORE SERIOUS INJURY HAD THE GATE CLOSED ON ONE OF MY CHILDREN. HONDA CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON 2005 VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WHEN I CALLED THEM THEY SAID THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE BUT AT THIS TIME DID NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION AS TO A RECALL OF THE 2006. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIPS ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM WITH THE DETERIORATION OF THE GAS STRUTS IN THE ODYSSEY. THIS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

FAILURE OF THE LIFT GATE GAS STRUTS ON A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING THAT CAUSES THE GATE TO CLOSE UNEXPECTEDLY. CONSEQUENCES WERE AN ADULT MALE BEING HIT IN THE BACK BY THE LIFT GATE. IN THIS INSTANCE NO SERIOUS INJURY HAD OCCURRED, BUT IF THE PERSON IN THE PATH OF THE LIFT GATE WERE SMALLER THE WEIGHT AND MOMENTUM OF THE GATE COULD EASILY CAUSE HEAD AND NECK INJURIES. I WOULD ASSUME MOST OWNERS OF THIS MINIVAN HAVE CHILDREN AND THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT A CHILD IN THE PATH OF A FAILING LIFT GATE WOULD SUSTAIN SERIOUS INJURY. THE LIFT GATE GAS STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. HONDA IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS OFFERED A RECALL FOR THIS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES, BUT HAS NOT YET OFFERED ANY CORRECTION FOR THE VEHICLE WE OWN. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. THE METAL HINGES ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR DO A TERRIBLE JOB AT KEEPING THE DOORS OPEN. I MAKE SURE THAT THE DOOR IS IN THE DETENTE POSITION. IT DOESN'T MATTER. A SLIGHT GUST OF WIND OR IF THE CAR IS ON AN INCLINE, THE DOORS WILL SLAM SHUT ON THEIR OWN. ITT SMASHED & BROKE A BONE IN MY LEFT HAND. IT SLAMMED CLOSE ON MY SHINS BEFORE THAT MANY TIMES. I AM FRIGHTENED FOR FEAR OF SEVERE INJURY TO SOME BODY PART BEING SLAMMED INTO THE DOOR OF GUESTS AND BEING SUED. I MAKE A POINT TO HAVE MY WHOLE BODY LEANING ON THE DOOR IF IT NEEDS TO STAY OPEN FOR SOME PURPOSE NOW. THIS IS REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY. I KNOW OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ANOTHER CAR THAT I WAS AFRAID THE FRONT DOOR WOULD SLAM SHUT ON ME - WITHOUT WARNING - BEFORE THIS.

ROCK POPPED UP AND PUNCTURED THE A/C CONDENSER WHICH RESULTED IN THE A/C GOING OUT DUE TO FREON LEAKING OUT.

I WAS TOLD THIS IS JUST A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE ODYSSEY. I TOLD THEM THAT SOMETIMES THE NOISE IS REALLY A LOUD AND A HARD CLUNK. I THEN WAS TOLD JUST CHECK AND SEE HOW FULL THE GAS TANK IS AT THE TIME. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND LEARNED OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM.
