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 STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS HOT AIR. THE DEALER STATED THAT A STONE STRUCK THE AIR CONDENSER AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PART FOR FREE ONCE, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT MAKE THE REPAIR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. UPDATED 09/12/07 *TR

THE AC CONDENSER FAILED ON MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AT 17,615 MILES. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMED "ROAD" DAMAGE AND CHARGED $665 TO REPAIR. FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS A WIDELY REPORTED PROBLEM, WHICH HAS HAPPENED TO MANY HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS, SOME MORE THAN ONCE. A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW: A POORLY PROTECTED CONDENSER, WHICH HONDA HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR. *JB

AIR CONDITIONER FAILED IN MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY, JUST ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASE AND BARELY USED. DEALER CLAIMED ROCK DAMAGE AND NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH THE CAR. MANY OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS AS POSTED IN GOOGLE SEARCH. IT IS CLEARLY A DESIGN PROBLEM FROM HONDA. *TR

AFTER THE SERVICE WAS DONE AT HONDA(A B TYPE SERVICE); I AM FEELING A JERK AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON SPEED. WITH KIDS IN THE CAR THIS IS A SCARY EXPERIENCE, HONDA DEALER DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THEY DID ANYTHING WITH THIS. THOUGH IT APPEARED JUST AFTER THAT. I TOOK MY HONDA FOR SERVICE AT HONDA TWIN CITY AT SAVOY,IL.

WE OWN A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AND A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WERE INFORMED THAT IT WAS A HOLE IN OUR A/C CONDENSER. WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD BE AROUND $700 TO REPAIR AND WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I DISCOVERED THAT THE A/C CONDENSER IS EXPOSED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BUMPER IN THE OPENING OF THE BUMPER. I PROCEEDED TO TELL THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO CONTACT AMERICAN HONDA BECAUSE THAT IS OUT OF THEIR HANDS. I CONTACTED HONDA AND AFTER TWO AND HALF WEEKS THEY RESPONDED BACK BY SAYING THIS IS A GOODWILL AND THEY WILL COVER AT HALF AT THE WARRANTY RATE. I AGREED AFTER SUFFERING THRU 3 WEEKS OF NO A/C IN THE DEAD OF HEAT. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH BECAUSE MY CONCERN STAYED THE SAME, THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. TO MY SURPRISE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MOST LATER MODEL HONDA'S. THE DESIGN MUST BE SIMILAR IN ALL OF THE MODELS, BECAUSE THE CR-V, ODYSSEY, CIVIC, ACCORD AND SO ON ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND PUT A FIX TO THE GRILLS SO THE CONDENSERS ARE BETTER PROTECTED. IT APPEARS EVERYONE IS GETTING THE SAME STORY FROM HONDA AND WHEN YOU CALL THEY ACT LIKE YOU ARE THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN, WHEN IN FACT IT IS BECOMING A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND COSTING CONSUMER MAJOR DOLLARS. THIS IS MY THIRD HONDA AND PROBABLY MY LAST AFTER THE WAY THE WHOLE SITUATION IS GOING DOWN. HONDA IS STICKING THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND AND HOPING TO RIDE THE STORM OUT. IT APPEARS ALSO THAT DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN REHEARSED ON WHAT TO TELL CONSUMERS, BECAUSE IT IS A COMMON THEME WHEN YOU READ OTHER COMPLAINTS. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L WITH FEWER THAN 15K MILES ON IT. I T TOOK IT TO THE DEAL BECAUSE ANTIFREEZE WAS LEAKING OUT OF IT. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LEAKING OUT OF MY RADIATOR. THE DEALER ATTRIBUTED THIS TO A STONE HITTING THE RADIATOR AND CAUSING THE LEAK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2006 ODYSSEY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE AS I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF OF THE ROAD. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE COULD HAVE SEIZE DUE TO LACK OF COOLANT AND I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING A SERIOUS WRECK AND POSSIBLE INJURY TO ME, MY PASSENGERS OR OTHERS. I RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA TAKE ACTION ON BEHALF OF ALL CONSUMERS WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE TO FORCE A RECALL FROM HONDA TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

PURCHASED 2006 ODYSSEY TOURING EDITION NEW IN FEBRUARY 2006. AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES STARTED HEARING INTERMITTENT GRINDING NOISE AND FEELING STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE WHILE BRAKING. VEHICLE TAKEN TO HONDA DEALERS THREE TIMES. FIRST TWO TIMES DEALER STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AT 30,472 MILES. AND THE DEALER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS WITH WARPED ROTORS, AND THAT I COULD PAY TO HAVE THEM MACHINED SMOOTH. TOOK CAR TO DIFFERENT DEALER AT 33,691 MILES. THEY REPLACED FRONT PADS AND MACHINED ROTORS UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO SERVICE BULLETIN BEING ISSUED FOR BRAKE NOISE. *AK

I WAS DRIVING MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN AROUND ~10:00 PM ON I-5 ABOUT 55 MILES PER HOUSE. ALL OF A SUDDEN REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW UP. IT IS A MICHELIN TIRE WITH 9,600 MILES ON IT. THE TIRE CAME BRAND NEW WITH THE VAN WHICH HAD ~9,600 MILES. DISCOUNT TIRE PROFESSIONAL EXAMINED THE TIRE AND DID NOT FIND ANY DAMAGE TO TIRE SUCH AS A NAIL OR CUT THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN BLOW UP. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L. ON WEDNESDAY JUNE 20, 2007 I NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS NO LONGER PUTTING OUT COLD AIR. I ALSO NOTICED AT THIS TIME THAT MY TEMP GAUGE WAS OVER TO THE HOT LINE. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF MY ENGINE AND LET IT COOL. ONCE I RESTARTED IT IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO THE HOT POSITION. ONCE I MADE IT HOME I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND NOTICED THAT THE FAN CONTINUED TO RUN AND THE CAR WAS EMITTING A BURNING RUBBERY SMELL. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS. I ASKED ABOUT THIS BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IF FOR SOME REASON THERE WAS A ROCK IN THERE THAT MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT BUT I HAD NO CONCERN BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS WAS RARE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CALLED ME THE NEXT MORNING STATING THAT THERE WERE ROCKS IN MY RADIATOR AND THAT MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ME OVER $700 TO GET IT FIXED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND TALKED WITH HONDA AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT THEY SEE THIS ALOT. THEY SHOWED ME MY RADIATOR AND THREE ROCKS THAT THEY PULLED OUT OF IT SAYING THAT THESE ARE WHAT CAUSED MY PROBLEM. THEY ASKED IF THEY COULD FIX THE RADIATOR WHILE THEY HAD THE PARTS IN STOCK AND I SAID YES KNOWING THAT I NEED MY CAR ASAP. I LATER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO QUESTION THE INCIDENT WITH THE ROCKS BECAUSE I TALKED WITH ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPENED THAT EASILY. THEY STILL HAVE THE OLD RADIATOR. THE LEVEL OF COURTESY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM HONDA HAS DRAMATICALLY DROPPED SINCE I HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE. THIS MORNING, SUNDAY JULY 1, 2007 I DECIDED TO DO SOME INTERNET RESEARCH ON HONDA ODYSSEY'S AND THIS ROCK PROBLEM AND I WAS AMAZED AND APPALLED AT HOW MUCH THIS HAPPENS AND HOW MUCH HONDA HAS JUST IGNORED THIS DESIGN FLAW. I FEEL THAT A DESIGN FLAW ALLOWING YOUR ENGINE TO OVERHEAT CAN PUT YOU AT RISK FOR A MAJOR ENGINE FIRE AND POSSIBLY DEATH AND HONDA HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE THIS. *TR

FAILURE OF MICHELIN PAX SYSTEM TIRES AT 25K MILES. THESE TIRES OFFER UNREALISTIC/UNACCEPTABLE WEAR WHICH WOULD REQUIRE YEARLY REPLACEMENT AT $1200+ PER YEAR. MANUFACTURE AND/OR DEALER DID NOT MENTION OR ADVISE ANYTHING OF THE SORT DURING PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. SEVERELY RESTRICTIVE OPTIONS WITH RESPECT TO REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF TIRES. EXCESSIVELY HIGH COST OF TIRES, LACK OF LONGEVITY AND DURABILITY OF TIRES, ALONG INABILITY TO REPLACE WITH SUITABLE ALTERNATIVE TIRES. *TR

AIR CONDITIONING ON THE 2006 ODYSSEY STOPPED WORKING AFTER 10 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT DEBRIS HAD HIT THE CONDENSER AND CAUSED A LEAK. SINCE THIS WAS NOT CONSIDERED A DEFECT IN THE PART IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IT APPEARED WE WERE NOT THE ONLY 05/06 ODYSSEY OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS SEEMED TO BE A DESIGN/ENGINEERING FLAW THAT ALLOWED FOR DAMAGE TO OCCUR SO EASILY. OTHER INTERNET POSTS REVEALED THAT OWNERS WERE HAVING TO ENGINEER THEIR OWN FIXES TO PROTECT THE CONDENSER, SO THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANOTHER $800 BILL. THIS SHOULD BE HONDA'S RESPONSIBILITY. *AK

IN NOVEMBER 2005, WE PURCHASED THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING MINI-VAN. UPON QUESTIONING THE PAX TIRE SYSTEM (A SELLING POINT FOR THE TOURING EDITION), WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT REPLACEMENT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY 10-15% ABOVE SIMILAR TIRES. AT APPROXIMATELY 27,500 MILES (JUST 16 MONTHS AFTER OUR PURCHASE AND REGULAR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE), WE WERE TOLD BY THE HONDA SERVICE TECHNICIANS THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE ALL 4 OF OUR TIRES REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR (3/32 TREAD). UPON CALLING AROUND TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS IN OUR AREA WE DISCOVERED THE COST TO REPLACE ALL 4 OF THE TIRES WAS $1200. MUCH, MUCH MORE THAN 10-15% ABOVE A REGULAR SET OF SIMILAR TIRES. WHILE WE WERE MADE AWARE THE ADDITIONAL COST IN TIRE REPLACEMENT, WE WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE HIGHER FREQUENCY THIS WOULD OCCUR. IN FACT WE WERE ASSURED BY A CERTIFIED HONDA TECHNICIAN THAT THE TREAD WEAR OF THE MICHELIN PAX TIRES WAS SUPERIOR TO THAT OF SIMILAR MINI-VAN TIRES. IF WE HAD KNOWN THAT THERE WOULD BE A $1200 MAINTENANCE COST IN THE TIRES ALONE EVERY 1-1.5 YEARS, WE WOULD NEVER HAVE PURCHASED THE TOURING EDITION OF THIS VEHICLE. WE CONTACTED MICHELIN WHO TOLD US TO HAVE THE TREAD CHECKED/VERIFIED BY A CERTIFIED PAX DEALER, AND THEY WOULD HAVE A CASE OPEN. UPON VERIFICATION OF EXCESSIVE WEAR BY DISCOUNT TIRE, MICHELIN OFFERED A 35% DISCOUNT ON THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PAX TIRES. UNSATISFIED, WE PROCEEDED TO CONTACT HONDA'S CORPORATE OFFICE IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE THE EX MODEL WHEELS PUT ON THE VEHICLE (AT HONDA'S EXPENSE). THE CORPORATE OFFICE REFERRED US BACK TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHO CLAIMS THE LIGHTER EX MODEL WHEELS CANNOT BE PUT ON THE HEAVIER SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF THE TOURING EDITION. OUR CURRENT OPTIONS ARE TO REPLACE WITH ANOTHER SET OF PAX TIRES AND HOPE WE DON''T FACE THIS EXCESSIVE EXPENSE AGAIN IN ANOTHER 12-15 MONTHS OR REPLACE WITH AFTER MARKET WHEELS AND TIRES.
