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.

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.

AFTER ABOUT 5-20 MINUTES OF DRIVING WHEN I COME TO A STOP RATHER IT BE FLAT ROAD , PARKING LOT OR SLIGHT DOWN SLOPE I HEAR REALLY LOUD METALLIC LIKE GRINDING AND SQUEALING NOISE. THIS ALONG WITH MY OTHER COMPLAINT OF THE VAN BRAKING BY ITSELF HAS ME VERY CONCERNED CONSIDERING THAT THIS VAN DOES HAVE A WHEELCHAIR LIFT AND IS PRIMARILY USED TO TRANSPORT A DISABLED ADULT IN A WHEELCHAIR. *TR

WAS ON THE FREEWAY AT AROUND 60-65 MPH AND ALTHOUGH ACCELERATING I COULD FEEL THE BRAKES BRAKING EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN NO WAY APPLYING MY FOOT TO THE BRAKE. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS JUST DRIVING LOCALLY TO THE STORE. WILL BE DRIVING AS NORMAL AND YOU CAN FEEL THE VAN SLOW ITSELF EVEN THOUGH I AM ACCELERATING WITH NO FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I AM LISTING DETAILS PERTAINING TO TODAY BECAUSE I CANNOT RECALL THE PRIOR DATES (HOWEVER THEY WERE WITHIN THE PAST YEAR). BASICALLY THE VAN SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED ITSELF. MY CHILDREN WERE PLAYING OUTSIDE AND THEY RAN INSIDE SAYING "MOM THE VAN IS ON". I WENT TO LOOK AND THE VAN IS RUNNING BUT IN THE "OFF" POSITION. THERE IS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. APPLYING THE BRAKE TURNED IT OFF. I DO NOT HAVE A REMOTE STARTER AND MY ONLY SET OF KEYS WERE INSIDE THE HOUSE. LET ME STRESS AGAIN THAT IT STARTED BY ITSELF AND WAS RUNNING WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. I AM CONCERNED NOW THAT THIS COULD OCCUR WHILE THE GARAGE IS CLOSED AND FILL OUR HOME WITH CARBON MONOXIDE! *TR

THE GAS-FILLED STRUTS ON THE REAR LIFT GATE OF MY HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED. THE REAR LIFT GATE TO THE MINIVAN NOW FALLS SHUT WITH A VERY DANGEROUS SPEED AND FORCE. THE LIFT GATE IS VERY HEAVY AND I AM CERTAIN IT WOULD SEVERELY INJURE MY 4 YEAR OLD BOYS IF IT WAS DROPPED OR ACCIDENTALLY LET GO. HONDA HAS RECALLED OTHER 2008 AND 2009 GAS-FILLED STRUTS FOR EX-L AND TOURING MODELS BUT CLAIMS THAT MY GAS-FILLED STRUTS ON MY EX MODEL ARE NOT AS COMMON OF A FAILURE. I'M NOT BUYING IT. IT'S A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

MY VAN MAKES A LOUD METALLIC GRINDING NOISE AFTER THE FIRST 5 TO 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING. REPEATED VISITS TO DEALERSHIP (AND AFTER A BRAKE PAD CHANGE) HAVE PRODUCED NO CHANGE. HONDA MASTER TECHNICIANS TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE TWICE AND HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED ISSUE AND CLAIM THAT THERE IS NO KNOWN PROBLEM OR RECALL. THEY HAVE BASICALLY SAID THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING. SEVERAL WEBSITES AND DISCUSSION BOARDS POINT TO THIS SAME ISSUE AND LACK OF ACTION FROM HONDA. MY LAST CONVERSATION WITH HONDA WAS ALSO UNPRODUCTIVE - THE BEST THEY COULD RECOMMEND WAS TO TAKE THE MATTER TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP. ALL MY VEHICLE SERVICING INCLUDING EVERY RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE AND VARIOUS LEVELS OF SERVICE HAVE BEEN AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL MANUFACTURING / MECHANICAL DEFECT AND COULD ALSO CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES GOING FORWARD. *TR

WHILE CRUISING AT ABOUT 35 MPH ON LEVEL ROAD THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED, APPARENTLY THE BRAKES CAME ON AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE THE LEFT REAR TIRE WAS A FEW PSI LESS THAN THE OTHER TIRES AND THE LOW TIRE INDICATOR WAS ON (27 PSI ON LEFT REAR, 33 PSI ON OTHER TIRES). *TR

THE VSA LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, BUT USER MANUAL SAYS IT IS OKAY FOR "NORMAL DRIVING". WHEN I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40-45 MPH, THE VSA LIGHTS WAS ON. I KEPT DRIVING NORMALLY. THEN WE I TRIED TO APPLY BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN, THE BRAKE LIGHT TURNED ON. AFTER I RELEASED THE BRAKE, THE CAR SEEMED TO APPLIED BRAKE ON ITSELF EVEN HARDER. IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES DURING THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND THIS TIME I DEFINITELY FELT IT. *TR

AS I ACCELERATED ONTO THE ROAD, MY ODYSSEY BRAKED HARD AND SUDDENLY. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME, ALSO ACCELERATING, JERKED AND SWERVED AROUND ME TO AVOID COLLISION (THIS SEEN IN REAR VIEW MIRROR). I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED, RESTARTED AND LISTENED TO THE ENGINE, AND LOOKED FOR INDICATOR LIGHTS. I RESUMED DRIVING ONLY TO HAVE THE SUDDEN BRAKING RECUR A MILE UP THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT I SPOKE WITH MY HUSBAND ON THE PHONE AND TURNED OFF THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM. NO FURTHER INCIDENTS SO FAR. *TR

SO FAR, ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE APPLYING THE GAS PEDAL THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED AND NEARLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE. ON EACH OCCASION IT HAPPENED DURING ACCELERATION AND SPEEDS WENT FROM NEARLY 40 TO 10-15 MPH EACH TIME. NO PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES IN ANY OF THESE INCIDENTS. *TR

BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED DURING ACCELERATION FROM 20-50 WHILE ENTERING BUSY HIGHWAY SLOWING VEHICLE NEARLY TO A STOP. MANAGED TO AVOID APPROACHING TRAFFIC AND LIMP OFF THE HIGHWAY AT THE NEXT EXIT. PROBLEM RECURRED AS I TOOK SIDE ROAD BACK HOME. PROBLEM ALSO RECURRED AS I TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE FOLLOWING MORNING. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM OR PROVIDE SOLUTION. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TWO MORE TIMES IN 2011 WITH NO RESOLUTION AS WELL. NOW 2013 WITH OVER 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE (OUT OF 36,000 MILE WARRANTY), PROBLEM PERSISTS. DRIVER HAS LEARNED TO PULL OVER AND TURN ENGINE OFF TO RESET ELECTRONICS NECESSARY TO TEMPORARILY OVERCOME THE ISSUE. STILL NO DIAGNOSIS OR RESOLUTION BY DEALERSHIP OR HONDA. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE CAUSED BY WARPED BRAKE ROTORS, WORN BRAKE PADS, OR AIR IN BRAKE LINES. ECM/PCM SOFTWARE UPDATES IN APR AND MAY 2011 WERE FRUITLESS. I SUSPECT THAT THE PROBLEM IS IN EITHER A SENSOR, A PRIMARY CONTROL UNIT, OR SOFTWARE OPERATING SUCH. *TR

WE TRIED TO START OUR VAN EARLY SATURDAY MORNING 6/15/13 AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. AFTER JUMPING IT, WE REALIZED WE HADN'T LEFT ANY LIGHTS ON SO WE DROVE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THERE'S BEEN A RASH OF THIS ISSUE RECENTLY AND TO JUST MAKE SURE WE TURN OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER BEFORE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND WE SHOULD BE OKAY. WE DROVE 2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND STAYED OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR DIDN'T START AGAIN EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER. WE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY FOR THE CAR THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY. THE NEXT WEEKEND THE CAR DIED AGAIN. THIS TIME WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD US THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR RELAY WAS STUCK AND CAUSED THE A/C SYSTEM TO OVER PRESSURIZE RELEASING FREON INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND DISCHARGING OUR BATTERY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL IN OTHER MODELS BUT NOT OUR VAN. I FEEL THAT, ALTHOUGH WE WERE NOT IN IMMEDIATE DANGER, THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE ODYSSEY AND ALL OTHER OWNERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET ABOUT 40MPH WITH MY FOOT ONLY ON THE GAS PEDAL, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKES SLAMMED ON, SLOWING ME DOWN RAPIDLY. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOBODY BEHIND ME. THIS HAPPENED ON MY WAY HOME 2 MORE TIMES. THE SUBSEQUENT TIMES I WAS DRIVING SLOWER. THEE WERE NEVER ANY WARNING LIGHTS. THERE WAS NO SMELLS. AFTER THE 3 TIMES DURING THAT 1 TRIP, IT DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT HONDA DEALERSHIP TODAY AND AM AFRAID THAT THEY WONT BE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT WAS LIKE THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY, IN FRONT OF A SEMI AND THE BRAKES GET SLAMMED ON AGAIN? *TR

THE REAR TAILGATE STRUT FAILED ON MY ODYSSEY EX- IMPORTANT TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM THE EX-L, WHICH WAS AFFECTED BY A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #12V062000). THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO THE EX NOR LX MODELS. PROBLEM IS THE EX-L, EX & LX MODELS SHARE THE SAME STRUT PART #74820-SHJ-A21, PRICE $63.91/EACH. THE PARTS INFORMATION IS RIGHT OFF HONDA'S OWN WEBSITE. THE RECALL MAKES NO MENTION OF FAILURES TO ANY MOTORS, GENERATORS OR POWER LOCKS. THE ONLY REFERENCE IS TO THE STRUT ITSELF. IF THE STRUT IS THE PROBLEM, WHY DOESN'T THE RECALL APPLY TO ALL '08 ODYSSEYS IF ALL ODYSSEYS SHARE THE SAME PART? I CALLED HONDA FOR AN EXPLANATION & THE REP SAID THEY WOULD ONLY PAY FOR REPAIRS TO MODELS COVERED BY THE RECALL. SINCE MY VEHICLE WASN'T, THEY WOULDN'T PAY &, AS IT STANDS NOW, I'M OUT $213.71, WHICH IS THE COST FOR BOTH PARTS & LABOR. I BELIEVE I AM ENTITLED TO REIMBURSEMENT OF THE FULL COST OF REPLACING THE STRUTS & I ALSO BELIEVE ALL '08 ODYSSEY MODELS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM AS FAILURE OF THE PART POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF INJURY TO ANYONE STANDING UNDER THE DOOR, WHICH HAPPENS ALOT WHILE LOADING/UNLOADING THE VEHICLE. *TR
