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).

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE INTO BOTH A TIRES PLUS AND ZIMBRICK HONDA (MADISON,WI) REGARDING WHAT I WOULD CALL A VERY SOFT BRAKE PEDAL FEEL. BOTH SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AGREED THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF LIFE ON THE ROTORS/PADS. BOTH FLUSHED THE BRAKE FLUID. HOWEVER THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL NEEDS TO BE PRESSED 2/3 OF THE WAY DOWN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. *TR

SUBJECT: 2008-2009-2010 HONDA ODYSSEY TAIL LIGHT DEFECTS COMMENTS: 2008-2009-2010 HONDA ODYSSEY TAIL LIGHTS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO WATER PENETRATION WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY SHORT OUT THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS APPLIES TO THE PORTION OF THE TAIL LIGHT WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE REAR HATCH DOOR. WATER ACCUMULATES IN THE WHITE PART OF THE LENS WHICH IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TAIL LIGHT IN THESE MODEL YEARS (I.E., THE BACK UP LIGHTS). THERE IS APPARENTLY A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE SEALED LIGHT SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD BOTH TAIL LIGHTS REPLACED IN MY 2010 ODYSSEY DUE TO WATER PENETRATION & COLLECTION. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM. *TR

FOR THE SECOND TIME THE REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK CLOSED AND THE WARNING TONE SOUNDED. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR HE SAID THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY IF IT WASN'T FIXED. THE DOOR LATCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. I AM 71 YEARS OLD AND THE DOOR IS VERY SELDOM USED BY MY WIFE AND I. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE DOOR COULD HAVE COME LOOSE AND DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER HONDA VEHICLES. I DO HAVE THE OLD PART IF THAT WOULD HELP. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR BRAKES WHEN BACKING UP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE PARKING BRAKE PADS. I COULD LET THEM SAND THE EDGES FOR $200.00, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD PROBABLY RETURN. AT THAT POINT I DECLINED TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE TO THE PARKING BRAKE. I WAS TOLD THAT NO HARM WOULD BE DONE TO THE VEHICLE WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. I THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BECAUSE I CONSIDER BRAKING A VERY SERIOUS MATTER, ESPECIALLY AT SOME POINT IN TIME IF YOU CANNOT STOP. *TR

I GOT INTO THE CAR WITH MY CHILDREN ON JAN 3RD AT ABOUT 11:30 AM. AS WE WERE APPROACHING THE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED (BRAKE) FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS! I MADE A U-TURN TO GET AWAY FROM THE ON-RAMP AND GO HOME. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVING RIGHT. THE CAR SLOWED/STOPPED 2 MORE TIMES. I WAS ON MY STREET, WHEN THE "BRAKES WENT OUT". I COASTED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. SMOKE BEGAN BILLOWING OUT OF FRONT WHEEL WELLS. WHEN I WAS TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, THE VSA LIGHT CAME ON. I DIDN'T KNOW IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE, SO I RUSHED MY KIDS OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 911. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL SMOKING, HOT, AND SMELLING. I HAD CAR TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND WAS GOING TO GET HONDA INVOLVED. THEY COULD NOT SEE ANY PROBLEMS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE EVENT. MY SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE CAR WAS "DRIVABLE", BUT DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE LETTING ME TAKE IT. I SAID THAT I DIDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE TAKING IT BECAUSE I CAN?T TRUST ITS SAFETY. JANUARY 5- I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT A VERY RECENT RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A YAW SENSOR TELLING THE VSA SYSTEM TO ENGAGE WHILE THE CAR IS ACCELERATING WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURNING ON. NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE! THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY CAR IS NOT NAMED IN THIS RECALL. ONLY 2007-2008 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED. I HAVE A 2010. ACCORDING TO THE DOCUMENTS, HONDA DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL EXPLAIN TO OWNERS WHAT TO DO IN CASE THIS SUDDEN STOPPING OCCURS. I AM DUMBFOUNDED! THERE IS NOT A CHANCE THAT MY CHILDREN AND I WILL GET INTO THAT CAR WITH "INSTRUCTIONS" IN THE EVENT THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. IT SEEMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT CONTAINED TO 2007-2008 MODELS. IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT HONDA NEEDS TO EXPAND ITS INITIAL RECALL. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE WARNED ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEM. *TR

THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WAS DRIVING ON ND HWY. 15. THE DRIVER'S SLIDING DOOR WOULD COME UNLATCHED WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 65 MPH. PUSH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LATCH BUTTON AGAIN AND IT STAYED LATCHED FOR ABOUT 7 MILES AND IT WOULD UNLATCH ITSELF AND THE ALARM WOULD GO OFF. TELLING YOU THE SLIDINGDOOR WAS UNLATCHED. I TOOK THE VAN TO RYDELL'S HONDA DEALER IN GRAND FORKS, ND THEY REPLACE THE LATCH AND ROLLERS ON BOTH SLIDING DOORS. THEY SAID IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIVE ON GRAVEL ROADS AND THE ROLLERS AND LATCHES WOULD GET WORE BECAUSE THE ROLLERS AND PART OF THE LATCH IS MADE OF PLASTIC. HONDA SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US TO TRY TO KEEP THE ROLLER GUIDES CLEAN AND PRESSURE WASH THE ROLLER GUIDE REALLY WELL. WE DID THIS FOR ABOUT A YEAR CLEAN THE THE GUIDES BIWEEKLY AND WE HAD THE SAME TROUBLES AGAIN. THIS TIME HONDA REPLACED ON LATCH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THREE WEEKS LATER THE OTHER SIDE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM TOO. WE WERE LUCKILY THIS ONLY HAD HAPPEN CLOSE TO TOWN AND WE NEVER WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE DOORS WOULD COME UNLATCHED WITHOUT NOTICE AND THE DOOR WILL BE OPEN ABOUT AN INCH OR TWO. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU TRY TO SHUT THE DOORS MANUALLY OR AUTOMATIC IT WILL STILL OPEN AND UNLATCH ON ITS OWN WHEN EVER IT WOULD LIKE TOO. WE ONLY LIVE ON ABOUT 3 MILES OF GRAVEL SO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AGES NINE AND EIGHT IS SCARY.

MY 21 MONTH OLD CHILD WAS STANDING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE IN OUR GARAGE AS I GOT THINGS OUT OF THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO CLOSING THE DOOR. I PUSHED THE BUTTON THAT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSES THE DOOR AS I LEANED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE TO RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE. I HEARD MY CHILD SCREAMING AND I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THAT THE DOOR HAD CLOSED ON HER ENTIRE HAND UP TO HER WRIST. NOT ONLY DID THE SAFETY FEATURE FAIL THAT IS SUPPOSE TO DETECT BODY PARTS IN THE PATH OF THE DOOR, BUT THE DOOR ALSO WOULD NOT OPEN. I HAD TO USE ALL OF MY BODY WEIGHT TO PRY THE DOOR OFF OF HER HAND. THIS INCIDENT RESULTED IN A BLOODY AND BRUISED FINGER THAT HAD THE NAIL RIPPED OF IT. *TR

Child seat, May 12, 2013
MY TODDLER TRAVELS WITH ME UP TO 4 ROUND TRIPS A DAY. IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, HER CARSEAT HAS BEEN GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO UNCLICK. YOU HAVE TO PUSH VERY HARD TO GET THE RED BUTTON TO CLICK OPEN. SOMETIMES ONE SIDE WOULD CLICK OPEN, THEN THE NEXT TIME BOTH SIDES WOULD STICK. TODAY, WE WERE ON AN OUTING (FOR MOTHER'S DAY), AND WE SPENT OVER 45 MINS. TRYING TO UNBUCKLE HER FROM THE SEAT. I TRIED VERY HARD AS WELL AS A LARGE GENTLEMAN NEARBY IN THE PARKING LOT WHO HAPPENED TO NOTICE ME IN DISTRESS. MY TODDLER BECAME INCREASINGLY UPSET AS IT WAS GETTING SCARY FOR HER. THE MAN WAS ALSO SHOCKED TO SEE THAT HE WASN'T GETTING IT UNBUCKLED WITH STRONG FORCE. WE DEBATED CUTTING IT APART; WE ALSO DEBATED CALLING 911 TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT UNLEASH IT. I RULED BOTH OUT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO GIVE IT A FEW MORE MINUTES. SO TO GET HER OUT, WE LOOSENED UP THE STRAPS AS MUCH AS WE COULD AND SQUEEZED HER FROM THE SEAT. WE SPENT ANOTHER TEN MINUTES OR SO CONTINUALLY TRYING TO UNCLICK THE BELT. IT'S SHOCKING TO ME - ALTHOUGH THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. IT HAS NEVER TAKEN MORE THAN 3-5 MINUTES TO UNCLICK THE HARNESS. I'VE GOT NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP USING THE SEAT UNTIL WE CAN GET RESOLUTION FROM GRACO. I DO PLAN ON CONTACTING THEM FIRST THING IN THE MORNING (MONDAY MORNING 5/13/2013) WITH THE HOPE THAT THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO RECEIVE ANOTHER MODEL OF CARSEAT - AND RETURN THIS ONE TO THEM. I HAVE NOT KEPT THE RECEIPT FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE FROM TARGET, SO I'M CERTAIN THEY CANNOT EXCHANGE IT. BUT IN RESEARCHING RECALLS ABOUT THIS MODEL OF CARSEAT, I'M SHOCKED ONCE MORE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. IT'S EXTREMELY UNNERVING TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR CHILD. AND EVEN MORE, THE WORST CASE SCENARIOS ARE ALREADY PLAYING IN MY MIND: WHAT IF WE HAD A CAR FIRE OR A CAR ACCIDENT? IF THE BUCKLE IS A DEFECT, WHAT ELSE IS DEFECTIVE ABOUT THIS CARSEAT? I'D LIKE NOT TO FIND OUT THE HARD WAY. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FOLLOW-UP. THANK YOU *TR

I DRIVE MY VAN WITH MY FAMILY EVERY DAY AND AT FREEWAY SPEED. WHEN I NEED TO BRAKE THE VAN STARTS SHAKING AND THE PEDAL PULSE IS VERY SCARY. I TOOK IT TO JOHN EAGLE IN HOUSTON, AND THEY TOLD ME THE PADS STILL HAD 60% LIFE LEFT. IF I CAN LIVE WITH THIS UNTIL THE VAN GETS REPAIRS ON ALL THE BRAKES, OR REPLACE EVERYTHING .

WE PURCHASED A 2010 BRAUN ENTERVAN IN LATE 2011. IT WAS NEW WITH 17 MILES. WE NOTICED WATER COLLECTING UNDER FRONT SEATS AT ABOUT 15000 MILES. IT WAS RUSTING OUR SEAT ANCHORS WHICH COULD LEAD TO FAILURE IN A CRASH. IT ALSO HAS PERSISTENT STEERING PROBLEMS AND TIRE WEARING AT 15000 MILES. IT WAS RETURNED TO BRAUN FOR REPAIR BECAUSE WE INSISTED AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE BRAUN CORPORATION. THEY ATTEMPTED REPAIRS BUT RETURNED TO US WITH MORE ISSUES AND A CONTINUED STEERING PROBLEM.THIS WAS THEIR FIRST YEAR DOING A HONDA ENTERVAN CONVERSION AND THEY HAVE OFFERED A 5000.00 SUPPLEMENT TOWARD A TRADE. OUR LOCAL DEALER HAS LED US TO BELIEVE HE WOULD TRADE BUT WILL NOT FOLLOW THROUGH, I FIRMLY BELIEVE HE DOES NOT WANT THIS VEHICLE BACK. HE SAID IT WAS A JUNK DEAL. IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM TO SELL US. I BELIEVE THIS BRAUN HONDA ENTERVAN 2010 MODEL MAY NEED A FORMAL RECALL. SOME HANDICAPPED PEOPLE MAY NOT BE REMOVING THE FRONT SEATS TO NOTICE THESE WATER PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE MOLD WHEN THE CARPET REMAINS WET. I ALSO HAVE CONCERNS THAT CARBON MONOXIDE COULD BE ENTERING THE VEHICLE IF WATER CAN GET IN CLOSE TO THE FIREWALL. WE BELIEVE DURING THE CONVERSION SOMETHING GOT OUT OF ALIGNMENT CAUSING EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR AND STEERING PROBLEMS,. I HAVE KEPT ALL DOCUMENTATION AND HAVE PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED ANCHORS AND THE WATER PUDDLING AND EVEN FROZEN IN THE WINTER. *TR

WHEN BRAKING AT 60 MPH OR HIGHER, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHIMMIES. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY IN MY HANDS. ONCE THE SPEED IS BELOW 60 MPH, THE SHIMMY STOPS. I TOOK IT TO MCGRATH HONDA IN CHICAGO AND AFTER AN INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THE FRONT BRAKES WERE NEW AND THAT THE REAR BRAKES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THEY SAID THEIR MECHANIC THOUGHT THE SHAKE WAS BEING CAUSED BY THE REAR BRAKES!! I AGREED TO LET THEM REPAIR THE REAR BRAKES. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.I MAY HAVE PURCHASED REAR BRAKES NEEDLESSLY! I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT ARE LIKE MINE. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT SOME OWNER'S HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED AND THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. I AM WONDERING AS TO THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS THAT WILL CAUSE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTERMARKET AUTOMOTIVE RIMS FAILED AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS OF NORMAL DRIVING. MODA MD9 OR MD9610 WERE LISTED AS A RECOMMENDED WINTER DRIVING RIM BY A LARGE ONLINE RETAILER OUT OF SOUTH BEND INDIANA. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME NOTICED STRONG VIBRATION ISSUES. AN APPROVED TIRE INSTALLER REVIEWED THE RIMS AND STATED ALL 4 RIMS WERE EGG SHAPED AND COULD NOT BE BALANCED. RIM RUNOUT SPECS OUT OF RANGE. EGG SHAPED CONDITION CREATES STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AND AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. RETAILER THROUGH THEIR PRODUCT SUPPORT, DENIED ANY PRODUCT ISSUES AND STATED THE ONLY WAY WHEELS COULD HAVE DEFORMED WAS THROUGH ABNORMAL USE. ALL 4 RIMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL AND HAVE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER. ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT RIMS USED ON THIS HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES OVER SEVERAL YEARS OF USE. FEEL THE PROBLEMS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO DEFECTIVE WHEELS OR RIMS. *TR
