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 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.

Service brakes, airMar 16, 2010
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.

Service brakes, Hydraulic, Apr 24, 2010, crash
I WAS DRIVING ODYSSEY ALONG WITH MY KIDS ON A SINGLE LANE CITY ROAD AT THE SPEED OF ~35 MILES/HOUR. I REAR ENDED THE CAR, WHICH RESULTED IN 3 CAR COLLISION. I GOT DISTRACTED FROM THE ROAD FOR 2-3 SEC, WHEN I GOT ATTENTION BACK ON THE I SAW A CAR STOPPED FOR LEFT TURN (NO LEFT TURNOUT). I PUSHED MY BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, BUT COULDN'T STOP MY VEHICLE, RESULTED IN REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE, WHICH PUSHED HIM, AND CAUSED A HIT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HIM. I THOUGHT IT WAS MY FAILURE, BUT WHEN I SAW RECALLS RELATED TO THE SOFT BRAKE ISSUES, IT MADE ME RETHINK, THAT INCIDENT HAS SOFT BRAKES ISSUES HAS TO DO A LOT. IN PAST, I TALKED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE SOFTNESS OF THE BRAKES, THEY TOLD ME THAT VANS ARE BIGGER AND HEAVIER, SO IT TAKES TIME TO STOP THEM' INCIDENT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY VAN.. MY OLD BRAKES ARE STILL INTACT, AND I CAN STILL FEEL THE SOFTNESS.. BUT NOW WE DRIVE MUCH MORE CAREFULLY. NOW *TR

FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION DUE TO (IN DEALER'S WORDS) "A CRACK OR POROUS METAL CASING." THIS IS AT LEAST THE THIRD REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION. TWO PREVIOUS EPISODES OF TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE WERE DEEMED BY THE DEALER "CAUSED BY A LOOSE BOLT." THE FIRST TIME SHORTLY AFTER VEHICLE DELIVERY BOLT WAS TIGHTEN, SECOND TIME BOLT WAS TIGHTEN AND SET WITH LOCK TIGHT WHICH REQUIRED OVERNIGHT STAY AT DEALER SERVICE CENTER. THIRD TIME, ENTIRE TRANSMISSION IS BEING REPLACED- BEING COVERED UNDER DEALER SUPPLIED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WITH A $25 DEDUCTIBLE. *TR

FAILURE OF FRONT A/C CONDENSER BY A SUPPOSED "ROCK" IMPACT RESULTING IN LOSS OF REFRIGERANT AND A/C SERVICE. I CONTEND THIS IS RELATED TO DESIGN DEFECT OF THE FRONT BUMPERS AND LACK OF GRILL IN LARGE OPENING. HONDA PROVIDED NO COMPENSATION AND EXTENDED WARRANTY REFUSED BY STATING "DEALER STATED ROCK IMPACT IS CONSIDERED A COLLISION UNDER WARRANTY" A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH MANY MODELS OF HONDA, NOT JUST ODYSSEY. *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

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY, [XXX] THAT HAS AN ECO(ECONOMY) MODE FEATURE THAT SHUTS OFF 3 CYLINDERS ELECTRONICALLY TO SAVE MILEAGE. A FEW MONTHS AGO, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AROUND 40 MPH OR WHEN THE ECO MODE KICKED IN. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE SERVICED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP NAME IS SOUTH MOTORS HONDA [XXX] THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH CAR. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO WORSEN OVER THE NEXT MONTH SO I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICING. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE THAT CONTROLS THE ECO MODE. A FEW DAYS AFTER PICKUPING UP MY CAR FROM SERVICE, MARCH 5, THE PROBLEM IS NOW MUCH WORSE. THE CAR NOT ONLY JERKS NOW, BUT IS ALSO UNRESPONSIVE WHEN THE ECO MODE TURNS OFF AND ON. THIS UNRESPONSIVENESS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET INTO 2 ACCIDENTS. THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN DENIED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE CAR ONLY HAS ~37,000 MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO DENY THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE CAR..IF THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE, I AM CERTAIN THAT IS SAFETY ISSUE WILL RESULT IN A ACCIDENT..ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY (TOURING) AND MICHELIN PAX TIRES. THE PREMATURE WEAR AND LIMITED SERVICE AVAILABILITY OF THE PAX TIRES MAKES THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING. A SUIT WAS PUSHED THROUGH FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT (MARYLAND) ON THIS AND PROVIDED NO VIABLE RELIEF TO THE SITUATION. IT FAVORED THE ATTORNEYS INVOLVED IN FILING THE SUIT. THE ISSUE OF PRACTICALITY OF THESE TIRES IS NOW CLEAR SINCE MICHELIN HAS NOW TERMINATED THE PAX LINE FROM NEW VEHICLES, THUS IN TIME THE CURRENT LIMITED DURABILITY WILL BE FURTHER DEGRADED BY THE AGE OF EXISTING PAX TIRES TO SERVICE THE VEHICLES WHICH WERE FITTED FOR THIS "REVOLUTIONARY" DESIGN. I EXPERIENCED A PREMATURE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF ONE OF MY TIRES AND HAD TO STRUGGLE (OUT OF STATE) TO FIND A HONDA DEALER WITH THE EQUIPMENT TO REPLACE THE TIRE. IF YOU HAVE A NEED ON A FRIDAY NIGHT YOU WILL BE MAROONED UNTIL THE NEXT BUSINESS WEEK TO FIND A MICHELIN OR HONDA DEALER WITH THE EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT NECESSARY TO REPLACE A TIRE NEEDING REPLACEMENT. THUS CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE IF MY WIFE AND YOUNG CHILD ARE ON THE OPEN ROAD AND STUCK SOMEWHERE. NEITHER HONDA OR MICHELIN ARE STANDING BEHIND THIS PRODUCT. THE VAN IS GREAT EXCEPT THE TIRE SYSTEM. I CANNOT FIND A LOCAL HONDA DEALER WILLING TO CONFRONT HONDA ON SWAPPING TIRE SYSTEMS. THE CLOSEST ONE IS IN CLEVELAND, OH (I LIVE IN GREAT FALLS, VA). ONLINE RESEARCH CLEARLY IDENTIFIES THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT NEITHER HONDA OR MICHELIN ARE DEVELOPING A REASONABLE REMEDY. YOUR TIRE PAGE DOES NOT LIST THE MICHELIN TIRE I HAVE.
