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).

American Honda Motor Company (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured August 8, 2006, through September 8, 2008. Due to a combination of system components and software, the Vehicle Safety Assist System (VSA) may apply the brakes unexpectedly.
The vehicle may suddenly and unexpectedly brake hard, and without illuminating the brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash from behind.
Parts to remedy these vehicles will not be available until the spring of 2014. Honda will send owners an interim letter notifying them of the issue and instruct them how to prevent unintended braking. A second notification will be sent when the parts become available. Interim notification was mailed in December 2013. The recall began on April 29, 2014. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or visit their website at www.recalls.honda.com. Honda's recall number is JC5.

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.

HONDA HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 AND 2008 ODYSSEY AND ELEMENT PASSENGER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 28, 2006 AND AUGUST 21, 2008. AIR CAN ENTER THE VSA MODULAR PUMP DURING AN INITIAL SELF-CHECK PROCESS THAT OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER EACH TIME THE ENGINE IS STARTED. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ENOUGH AIR TO ENTER THE SYSTEM TO RESULT IN A BRAKE PEDAL THAT FEELS SOFT OR LOWER TO THE FLOOR.
IF THE OWNER DOES NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS OR YEARS, THE SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE ENOUGH AIR TO AFFECT BRAKING PERFORMANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNER AND HONDA DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VSA MODULATOR BY REMOVING ANY EXISTING AIR IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THEN APPLY SEALANT AND CAPS TO PREVENT AIR FROM ENTERING THE BRAKE SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 3, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

NOTICED A TICKING NOISE AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVING IN THE A.M. FOR OVER A YEAR. HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH STEERING WHILE PULLING INTO TIGHT SPOTS OR SHARP TURNS FOR A WHILE. HAVE ALWAYS EQUATE IT TO BAD TIRES (WHICH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED) OR LOW TIRE PRESSURE. ON A VISIT TO HONDA FOR ANOTHER REPAIR, HAD ASKED THEM TO LOOK INTO THE NOISE ISSUE. WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS BAD. HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR. WAS INFORMED THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DOES NOT MAKES SENSE THAT WE'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR THAT IT'S NOT A PART ISSUE. CAN NOT RECALL WHEN THE STEERING WAS EVER AS GOOD AS IT IS ONCE THE PUMP WAS REPLACED. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER PERSISTS AFTER THREE SOFTWARE UPDATES AND TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT. WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 60K, CURRENTLY AT 57K. DEALER HAS EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION IN DEALING WITH HONDA OF AMERICA IN FINDING A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. BEFORE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED THE DEALER HAD TO TAKE A "SNAPSHOT" OF THE RPM DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. AFTER TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT AND THIRD SOFTWARE UPDATE THE DIFFERENCE IS GREATER. HOA NOW STATES THE RPM DIFFERENCE IS WITHIN NORMAL RANGE. WHEN ASKED WHY THE LESSER AMOUNT REPORTED BEFORE WAS ENOUGH TO WARRANT A REPLACEMENT OF TORQUE CONVERTER AND NOW NO FURTHER SERVICE IS NEEDED, HOA HAD NO ANSWER. *TR

AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE 1919 TORRANCE BLVD. MAIL STOP 500-2N-7A TORRANCE, CA 90501-2746 RE: 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING DEAR HONDA, JUNE 2, 2010 I HAD A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH MILLER HONDA, 4477 VESTAL PARKWAY E, VESTAL, NY; FOR 9:00 AM. THE RECALL WORK FOR MY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VIBRATION OCCURRING AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 65 MPH AND ABOVE, WAS TO BE DONE. FIVE HOURS LATER, APPROXIMATELY 2:05 PM I STOPPED BACK WITH THE LOANER CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE HOW MUCH LONGER THE CAR WOULD BE TIED UP AND FOUND THAT WORK ON THE CAR HAD NEVER EVEN BEEN STARTED. I WAS TOLD A MECHANIC HAD CALLED IN AND THAT A PROBLEM WITH A NEW CAR REQUIRED SOME PRIORITY WORK SO MY CAR WAS NOT WORKED ON. HAVING WORKED AROUND AUTOMOBILE SHOPS FROM A TEENAGER ONWARD I AM NOT EXACTLY A NOVICE. BRAKE WORK IS NOT A JOKE AND THERE ARE SERIOUS STATE LAWS INVOLVED FOR A DRIVER TO KNOWINGLY DRIVE A CAR WITH FAULTY BRAKES. UNFORTUNATELY MILLER HONDA FAILS TO REALIZE THAT BRAKES ARE A PRIORITY AND NOTHING TO FOOLED AROUND WITH. MILLER HONDA SPENDS A FORTUNE ON ADVERTISING ATTEMPTING TO ENTICE THE PUBLIC TO COME TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASE CARS FROM THEM. THEN THEY TURN AROUND AND TREAT PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS AND HONDA OWNERS AS DISPOSABLE ITEMS. WHAT EXACTLY THE THINKING IS BEHIND THEIR BUSINESS PLAN TOTALLY ESCAPES ME. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT I AM FREE TO HAVE MY HONDA REPAIRED BY ANY HONDA DEALER? SHOULD THIS INFORMATION BE ACCURATE, I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THERE IS ONE IN THE AREA THAT IS ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND JUST MIGHT HAVE A DESIRE TO SELL ANOTHER HONDA SOMEDAY. MILLER HONDA OF BINGHAMTON NEW YORK JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ONE. *TR

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY- FOR THE PAST 6-8 MONTHS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN PARKING AND TURNING, THE POWER STEERING APPEARS TO QUIT WORKING. WHEN YOU GET UP TO SPEED THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO EXIT THE ROADWAY FROM A DEAD STOP AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PARK OR LEAVE A PARKING SPOT. I FEAR BEING REAR ENDED OR WORSE. LOCAL DEALER "KNOWS OF NO PROBLEMS REPORTED". VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY (46,000 MILES). *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN BRAKING LIGHTLY AT LOW SPEEDS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. THERE HAS TO BE DEFECT IN THE BRAKES CAUSING THE ROTORS TO WARP AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 28K MILES AND THE PADS HAD MORE THAN 50% LEFT. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND LOOKS LIKE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L-TRANSMISSION IS SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING AT 30-40 MPH. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I SLOW DOWN THEN PRESS ON THE GAS AGAIN. IT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER RAILROAD TRACKS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT IT HAPPENED TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AT 55 MPH. I ALSO NOTICE THAT THE CAR "PULLS" BACK SLIGHTLY WHEN I AM DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS--IT FEELS LIKE I AM LETTING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL, BUT I AM NOT. I TOOK THE VAN INTO A HONDA DEALERSHIP ON MAY 8, 2010. THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND SAID THAT THE VAN WAS RUNNING FINE, BUT IT IS STILL GIVING ME PROBLEMS. I WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO HONDA OF SERRAMONTE IN DALY CITY, CA ON MAY 22, 2010. I AM NOT HAPPY--THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 60, 000 MILES--VAN HAS 57,600 MILES. I HOPE HONDA WILL TAKE CARE OF MY PROBLEMS BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRES! *TR

TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTING. FIRST WE COULD FEEL THE ENGINE JUTTER BETWEEN 35 - 40 MPH WHEN UPSHIFTING. DEALER SAID IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. WE GOT THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE - MADE IT WORSE. THEY THEN SAID IT NEEDED A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. THE NEW TORQUE CONVERTER FIXED THE JUTTERING, NOW THE DOWNSHIFTING IS NOT SMOOTH. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY ARE TELLING US IT'S FINE. I'VE SPOKEN TO A MECHANIC AND HE MENTIONED THAT HE HAS HEARD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION. *TR

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EX AC COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER ROAD DEBRIS (A SMALL ROCK) PUNCTURED IT. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND IS ONLY DRIVEN ON MAIN CITY ROADS. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS REPAIR, WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY WAS OVER $800 INCLUDING TOWING. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS NEVER COVERED BY THE WARRANTY - EVEN THOUGH THERE SEEMS TO BE A FLAW IN THE DESIGN. THE CLAIMS ARE THAT THE AC COMPRESSOR IS NOT PROPERLY PROTECTED AND IS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ENGINE WHERE IT IS MORE LIKELY TO BE EXPOSED TO NORMAL ROAD DEBRIS. *TR

POWER STEERING IS NON-EXISTENT AT PARKING SPEEDS. WHILE PARKING, TURNING OR MANEUVERING AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THE CAR IS TO "MUSCLE" THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND. POWER STEERING ENGAGES AS SPEED INCREASES. MENTIONED NUMEROUS TIMES TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM THAT IS THE WAY A VAN DRIVES. THIS IS MY 3RD ODYSSEY AND NONE HAS EVER DRIVEN THIS WAY. SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VAN AND LACK OF MANUFACTURER RESPONSE WILL MAKE THIS MY LAST HONDA. *TR
