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).

DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR LATCHING MECHANISM WONT LATCH A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH KIDS IN BACK SEAT
Engine, May 31, 2019, fire
WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED AT A STORE, MY ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE LEADING TO A TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. I DROVE MY CAR FOR A SHORT DISTANCE TO DO TWO ERRANDS (MAYBE 15 MIN. DRIVE). I PARKED MY CAR AND WENT IN TO SHOP FOR MAYBE 15 - 20 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE STORE, BLACK SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT FROM THE ENGINE FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER BY FLAMES. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE, THE CAR'S ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS DESTROYED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HOME WHILE MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE, MY HOUSE COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AS WELL. THANKFULLY THERE WERE NOT MANY CARS PARKED CLOSE TO MINE SO NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED. MY CAR HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED WITH THE 2014/5 RECALL NOTICE. THE CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALER IN JANUARY AND SUCCESSFULLY PASSED A STATE SAFETY AND VEHICLE EMISSIONS TEST TWO DAYS BEFORE THE FIRE. THE FIRE CLEARLY STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR THAT I BELIEVE IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE.THE DRIVERS DOOR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ACTUATOR, WHICH CONTROLS THE AUTOMATED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING OF THE DOOR. THE ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE AND NO LONGER WORKS. AS A DIRECT RESULT, THE DOOR (AND ALL OF THE REMAINING DOORS IN THE VEHICLE) WILL NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, THE DOOR LATCH TO OPEN AND EXIT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY WILL NOT WORK. THE DOOR KNOB MUST BE MANUALLY LIFTED; THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE, THE VEHICLE DOOR SWOULD AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK POSITION AND THEN LOCKED WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVED OUT OF PARK (EITHER REVERSE, NEUTRAL OR DRIVE). I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A $400 REPAIR TO REPLACE THE ARM ACTUATOR. THIS PART SPECIFICALLY CONTROLS THE AUTOMATED LOCKING/UNLOCKING MECHANISM FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR (AND ALL OTHER DOORS OF THE MINIVAN, WHICH MUST ALL BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED SINCE THIS PART IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY). I HAVE TRIED TO USE THE DOOR LEVER TO OPEN THE CAR AND WHEN IT IS IN THE LOCKED POSITION, THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, EVER. THE DOOR KNOB MUST BE LIFTED IN ALL INSTANCES AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE.
Engine, Mar 22, 2019
WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER AND SHAKES. THE VEHICLE CONSUMES EXCESSIVE OIL WHICH CAUSES THE PLUGS TO FOUL AND FAIL. THE KNOWN ISSUE IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT (VCM). WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITS A BURNING OIL SMELL AND GAS SMELL IN THE CABIN. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY OF THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAYS SPEEDS AND THE REDUCED POWER TO THE ENGINE MAKES THE VEHICLE HARD TO STEER DUE TO LOSS OF POWER ASSISTED STEERING CAUSE BY THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THE HONDA VCM SYSTEM BEFORE A FATALITY OCCURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO FILL THE FUEL TANK MORE THAN USUAL AND THE FUEL WOULD CONTINUE TO LEAK.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HONDA OF ORLANDO (2211 NORTH SEMORAN BLVD, ORLANDO, FL 32807, 866-938-0927) AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FUEL LEAK CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,754.

ON 2/3/2019 I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT ACCELERATED WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS BRAKING WHILE ROLLING FORWARD SLOWLY AND TURNING RIGHT INTO THE PARKING SPACE WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVED AND ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE FORWARD. I APPLIED INCREASING BRAKING PRESSURE WHILE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV, EXCEEDING THE STOPPING POWER OF THE BRAKES AND CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD TOWARD A PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I MANAGED TO STOP BY QUICKLY SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE TO PARK. IF I HAD NOT SHIFTED INTO PARK I WOULD HAVE HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE ENTIRE TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING, MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND NO PRESSURE WAS BEING APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR, IT RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. I HAVE REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO AMERICAN HONDA (CASE NUMBER 09315543) AND I AM BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 121,000 MILES ON IT AND IT HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE AUTOMATIC SIDE DOORS. THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR WHEN YOU GO TO OPEN THE DOOR IT OPENS JUST ALITTLE AND THEN CLOSES I HAVE TO HAVE MY KIDS NOT TO GET TO FAST ON TRYING TO GET OUT CAUSE IT HAS ALMOST CLOSED ON ONE OF THEIR LEGS. THE LEFT DOOR ALL NO LONGER OPENS FROM THE DOOR HANDLE ONLY FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE OR THE BUTTON THE DRIVER CAN PUSH. IT ALSO WHEN IT IS OPEN AND YOU GO TO CLOSE IT IT WILL START TO CLOSE THEN REOPEN. SOMETIME I HAVE TO PUT THE VAN IN REVERSE OR DRIVE TO GET THE DOOR TO EVEN CLOSE. SOMETIMES I CAN GET IT TO CLOSE WHILE OPEN WITH THE INSIDE HANDLE BUT I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL CAUSE IT'S CLOSED ON MY ARM A FEW TIMES PLUS SEEMS LIKE THE SENSOR THE DOOR IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ON THE DOOR TO TELL SOMEONE OR SOMETHING IS THE DOESN'T WORK THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR IS ALSO STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING SINCE I'VE BEEN HAVING MY KIDS TRY TO USE THAT DOOR MORE. I'M AFRAID MY KIDS OR WHOEVER IS IN THE VAN AT ANY TIME IS GONNA END UP TRAPPED AND NO ABLE TO GET OUT IN AN EMERGENCY OR ANYTHING AND FOR BIGGER KIDS AND ADULTS IT'S HARDER TO CLIMB OVER SEATS. AND ALSO THE DRIVER DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO GO AND UNLOCK IT IT WILL LOCK BACK SO YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK MANUALLY.

RIGHT REAR SLIDING DOOR HAS OPENED WHILE CAR IS MOVING. SUSPECT IT IS THE CAUSE OF THE BATTERY BEING DRAINED TWICE IN THE LAST FEW DAYS WHEN CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN DURING 48 HOUR PERIOD. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN ELECTRONICALLY NOW. IT HAS TO BE FORCED OPEN MANUALLY.

CAR STARTED SHUDDERING AT 35-40 MPH. TOOK TO SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS WHEEL BEARINGS. HAD THEM REPLACED AND THE ISSUE STOPPED FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND STARTED BACK UP BETWEEN 40-45 MPH ON CITY ROAD OR HIGHWAY. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING. IF WE LET OFF THE GAS IT STOPS. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND IT WOULD NOT REPLICATE, BUT EARLIER IN THE DAY IT OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. THE VEHICLE HAS 153K MILES.

THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ON OUR 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY DEPLOYED WITHOUT KNOWN CAUSE WHILE ROLLING INTO OUR GARAGE. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 9:00AM ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH, 2018. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS TRAUMATIC, AS WE HAVE COME TO RELY ON THE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY OF THE HONDA ODYSSEY. THE AIRBAG STRUCK MY WIFE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HER HEAD, BUT THANKFULLY DID NOT STRIKE OUR DAUGHTER IN THE CAR SEAT. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NEEDED BUT LOOKS TO BE LIMITED TO BRUISING AND SORENESS. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING LESS THAN 1 MILE PER HOUR AND WAS HALF WAY INTO THE GARAGE. THERE WAS OVER 1 FOOT OF CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE CAR AND THE GARAGE FRAME. THERE WAS NOT JUST CAUSE FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE SIDE-CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THE DEALERSHIP STALLED THE PROCESS TO REFER THE MATTER TO HONDA AMERICA. NOW, HONDA AMERICA IS TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY. HONDA AMERICA IDENTIFIED HISTORICAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE VEHICLE AND BELIEVES THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT. I AM THANKFUL MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I ASK THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE THIS EVENT, AS I BELIEVE THERE ARE OTHERS LIKE IT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE PUBLIC FROM A FAULTY DESIGN WITHIN HONDA ODYSSEY THAT CAN CAUSE THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS.

MY HONDA ODYSSEY CAUGHT FIRE ON MAY 13, 2018. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. THE CAR JUST BURNED ITSELF. THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 30 MILES PER HOUR AT LOCAL ROAD. AND STARTED TO SHAKE. SMOKE CAME OUT UNDER THE ENGINE COVER, I OPENED THE ENGINE COVER, FLAME CAME OUT AS HIGH AS 6-8 FEET. IT WAS SO DANGEROUS. I CALLED THE POLICE. BEFORE THE FIRE TRUCK CAME, SOME PASS BY DRIVER THROW ME SOME BOTTLE WATERS. I WAS ABLE TO PUT DOWN THE FIRE. THE CAR WAS DAMAGED BY THE FIRE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2009 FROM HONDA DEALER. WE ALWAYS DID CAR MAINTENANCE PER HONDA'S REQUIREMENTS AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. NO ANY NEGLIGENCE BY OWNER. WE HIRED A PROFESSIONAL CAR INSPECTOR. HE FOUND OUT THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY THE ELECTRONIC WIRES CONNECTED THE ALTERNATOR. THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL HONDA WIRES. THE CAR INSPECTION REPORT IS ATTACHED FOR YOUR REVIEW. THE CAR WAS LATER INSPECTED AND REPAIRED BY THE WORKSHOP. THE TECHNICIANS CONFIRMED THE FIRE INSPECTION REPORT. THE CAR INSPECTOR AND WORKSHOP BOTH CONFIRMED THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY THE ELECTRONIC WIRES USED BY HONDA. THE FIRE CAUSED BIG DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND POSED SERIOUS THREAT TO HUMAN LIFE. WE BELIEVE WE NEED TO REPORT THE ACCIDENT TO HELP AVOID LOSS OF LIFE. WE HOPE HONDA CAN TAKE SERIOUS STEPS TO INVESTIGATE THE FIRE ISSUE AND FIX ANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS THAT MAY CAUSE FIRE ON HONDA CAR.
