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.

OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE AND WE REQUESTED THE TECHNICIAN LISTEN TO A WHIRRING NOISE AND DIFFICULTY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. WE WERE INFORMED THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH WE FOUND THIS WAS LISTED AS A KNOW DEFECT IN THE 2006 AND ONLY A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN WAS PROVIDED (07-005 ISSUED 1/27/2009). THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS MODEL YEAR FOR THIS MAKE OF AUTOMOBILE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI VAN. SINCE FEB 2009, THE POWER STEERING ASSISTING SYSTEM FAILED TO WORK AT LOW SPEED. IT'S HARD TO OPERATE THE STEERING WHEEL AT THIS MOMENT. MOST TIME IT HAPPENED WHEN I TRY TO MAKE A TURN IN PARK LOT OR LOCAL ROAD. THIS PROBLEM ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I DIVERT FROM HIGH WAY TO THE RAMP. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY BACK IN NOV, 2006. WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR A VAN I ASKED THE SALES PERSON IN ROCK HONDA IN FONTANA, CA THAT I NEEDED A GOOD CAR BECAUSE I HAD CHILDREN AND I DID NOT WANTED TO BE HAVING PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD AND OF COURSE I'M WAS A WOMAN THAT DIDN'T DO ANY AUTO WORK, SO I NEEDED SOMETHING EASY TO MAINTAIN, WELL TO MY SURPRISE THE TIRES THAT THIS VAN HAS, BUT THAT I WAS NOT TOLD AT THE DEALER THAT THESE TIRES (PAX SYSTEM) WEAR REALLY FAST AND ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND ONLY A HONDA DEALER CAN CHANGE THEM. WHEN I TOOK MY VAN TO HAVE THE TIRES CHANGED, I TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND TOLD ME THAT ONLY A HONDA DEALER OR A CERTIFIED SHOP COULD DO IT AND THE COST IS $1,500.00 TO CHANGE THEM. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE ROCK HONDA AND THEY ACTUALLY HUNG UP ON ME 3 TIMES, ONE OF THE SALES PERSON TOLD ME THAT TIRES WERE EASY TO CHANGE THAT "HE COULD PURCHASE AND CHANGE TIRES IN HIS OWN GARAGE" THAT THE PEOPLE FROM THE SHOP DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. WELL I CALLED HONDA MOTOR CO,INC AND MICHELIN AND THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS APOLOGIZED FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE SUCH AN EXPENSIVE MAINTENANCE I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT, BUT OH WELL I'M STUCK WITH IT NOW, AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, THE ROOF IS LEAKING AND THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER LEAKS, AND THE DOOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN IT OPENS AND CLOSES BUT IT'S THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE WARRANTY. *TR

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY DOOR HAD BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR A FEW MONTHS WHEN I TOOK IT IN YESTERDAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE AUTOMATIC REVERSING MECHANISM KICKED IN THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, A ROLLER BEARING SNAPPED OFF. I SHOWED THE BROKEN BEARING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, BUT HE SAID HE COULDN'T FIX IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TO USE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE. WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, I PUT MY DAUGHTER INTO THE MIDDLE CAR SEAT AND COULD ONLY OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR HALF WAY MANUALLY. I CLOSED IT MANUALLY AND REOPENED IT AND THE DOOR FELL OFF SMASHING INTO MY KNEES PINNING ME AGAINST THE ADJACENT CAR, AND I REQUIRED ASSISTANCE TO REMOVE THE DOOR FROM MY BODY. THE DOOR HAD TO BE SECURED WITH RATCHET STRAPS AND TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE BEEN INJURED BY THE DOOR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 35 MINUTES, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO MOVE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR FILTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE STEERING HIGH PRESSURE HOSE SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

PAX TIRES ON HONDA ODYSSEY. THEY QUICKLY WEAR OUT, AND COST $1300 TO REPLACE. THE ONLY SOURCE FOR THE TIRES IS THE HONDA DEALER -- NO OTHER VENDORS AVAILABLE. IF WE REPLACE THE WHEELS WITH NON-PAX PARTS WE WILL HAVE CONSTANT COMPUTER WARNINGS WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR WILL REGISTER "0 PSI" TIRE PRESSURE. TIRES SPECS PROVIDED BY THIS WEBSITE (WIDTH, RIM, ETC) ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH NUMBERS FROM TIRES. TIRES SAY "ENERGY LX4 RADIAL XSE 235-710 R460A 104T PAX" NONE OF THESE FACTS WERE DISCLOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR. *TR
Engine and engine cooling, Feb 16, 2009
AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER. HONDA KNEW THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN SOME MODELS THAT ALLOWS ROCKS TO GO THROUGH THE GRILLE AND HIT THE CONDENSER MAKING A HOLE. *TR

I WAS CLOSING THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WHEN IT SUDDENLY REVERSED PINCHING AND CRUSHING MY RIGHT ARM. I USED THE EXTERIOR HANDLE, PULLED IT ONCE, AND MOVED TO THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AS I WAS PASSING BY THE MOVING DOOR, I WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE MINIVAN SLIGHTLY. IT GAVE AN AUDIBLE ALERT AND IMMEDIATELY REVERED PINCHING MY RIGHT BICEP BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE SIDE OF THE VAN. *TR
Steering, Feb 3, 2009
AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING PUMP ON MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L LOOSES ALL ABILITY TO TURN. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLESOME WHEN TRYING TO PARK. THE ONLY WAY TO ALLEVIATE THIS IS TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, APPLY A FOOT TO THE BRAKE, AND APPLY SLIGHT PRESSURE TO THE THROTTLE PEDAL. THIS OBVIOUSLY SPEEDS UP THE POWER STEERING PUMP WHICH ALLOWS ME TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS NOT A SAFE SOLUTION TO PERFORM FOR ANY REASON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER WAS NOT WORKING AND SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT THE HEATER PIPES CONTAINED MICE DROPPINGS. THE DEALER CLEANED THE HEATER PIPES AND AIR WAY FOUR TIMES, BUT THEY COULD NOT CORRECT THE DEFECT. SHE FOUND THAT THE PIPES WERE MADE WITH A CHEMICAL THAT ATTRACTS MICE, WHICH CONTRACTED AN AIRBORNE BACTERIA. HER TWO CHILDREN WERE TREATED FOR THE BACTERIA. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 54,000.

I OWN A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM IS WITH MY AC. IT WORKED ONE DAY AND THE VERY NEXT DAY IT STOPPED WORKING. GIVEN THE FACT THAT I VE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS, I DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE INTERNET JUST TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAVE BEEN HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. AND SURE ENOUGH I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

MY FAMILY OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. SINCE 8,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR WARRANTY WORK ON THE SLIDING DOORS. THE REAR PASSENGER ELECTRIC SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE ON AN INCLINE DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE. WE HAVE TO DRIVE TO A FLAT AREA WITH THE DOOR OPEN AND THE KIDS IN THE CAR TO GET THE DOOR TO CLOSE. HONDA HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT 6 TIMES UNSUCCESSFULLY. IT HASN'T WORKED SINCE THE CAR HAD 8,000 MILES AND NOW THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE THAN FIVE TIMES, TWICE WHILE MAKING A TURN. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, WHICH ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. HE HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED HIM TO THE DEALER.

I OWN A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING WITH MICHELIN PAX RUN-FLAT SYSTEM. THE PAX TIRES WORN SO PREMATURELY COMPARED TO OTHER REGULAR TIRES. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED AROUND 25K MILES OF DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, AND A HONDA DEALER SAID THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE CAUSED BY MY DRIVING HABITS, AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE COVERED BY ANY WARRANTIES BOTH BY HONDA AND MICHELIN. NOW AT THE MILEAGE OF +40K, ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE ALMOST NO TREAD TO GRAB THE ROAD AND THE REPLACING COST IS JUST RIDICULOUSLY HIGH AROUND $1200. BY OBSERVING SO MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ON THE SAME DEFECTS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE BOTH HONDA AND MICHELIN VOLUNTARILY RECALL THESE FAILED PRODUCT SO THE SUFFERING OWNERS COULD SWAP THEM WITH REGULAR PERFORMERS. *TR

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER DAMAGED BY ROAD DEBRIS AND REQUIRED REPLACING THE CONDENSER. DEALER STATED DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY ROAD HAZARD/DEBRIS AND SO WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE CONDENSER IS VERY EXPOSED ON FRONT BOTTOM OF VEHICLE WITH NO PROTECTION FROM FLYING DEBRIS. SIMILAR EVENT HAS OCCURRED TO MANY OWNERS OF 2006 ODYSSEYS. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE/RESPONSIBLE TO PROVIDE A PRODUCT TO PROTECT THE CONDENSER ON THIS MODEL. THE 2008 ODYSSEY COMES WITH A GRILL COVERING THE CONDENSER. SO IT IS OBVIOUS THEY ARE AWARE OF THE OLD BAD DESIGN. *TR

I JUST PURCHASED A BRITAX MARATHON CARSEAT FROM BABIES R US IN WAPPINGERS FALLS/POUGHKEEPSIE NY. WHEN I GOT THE SEAT HOME I OPENED THE BOX AND WAS GETTING READY TO SET IT UP TO FIT MY 6 MONTH OLD SON AND PUT IT IN MY CAR. IT IS AT THIS TIME THAT I NOTICED THE "LATCH" BELTS WERE MISSING. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS JUST THIS SEAT, I PLAN TO TAKE IT BACK TO GET ANOTHER ONE MONDAY, OR IF ALL THE ONES AT THE STORE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I OWN ANOTHER ONE OF THIS EXACT SEAT FOR MY 2.5 YEAR OLD AND THIS IS HOW I CAUGHT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY RECALLS, BUT WOULD LIKE TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THIS. THESE STRAPS ARE SEWN ONTO THE SEAT AND THEREFORE IT IS NOT JUST THAT SOMEONE REMOVED THEM FROM THE BOX. I HOPE THAT THERE ARE NOT OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE USING THIS SEAT WITHOUT THE PROPER LATCHES. AS I WAS LOOKING FOR THE INFORMATION ON THE SEAT, I WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE MODEL NUMBER, AND THE EXACT DATE OF MANUFACTURING. IT JUST SAY ON THE BOX (NOT THE SEAT) AUGUST 2008. THE SEAT IS THE BRITAX MARATHON PLATINUM. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2006, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=ODYSSEY). *TR

THE REAR HEADPHONE SYSTEM (BOTH WIRED AND WIRELESS HEADPHONES) DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE DVD SYSTEM IS IN OPERATION. THE HEADPHONES WORK FOR CD AND RADIO FUNCTIONS, BUT NOT THE DVD. THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN PRIMARILY WHEN THE CAR IS IN GEAR. WHEN I GET IN THE BACK TO CHECK OUT THE SYSTEM WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK, IT WORKS FINE. WHEN WE'VE STARTED DRIVING, IT STOPS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS. *TR
