2000 Honda Odyssey complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS DELAYED IN SHIFTING GEARS AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT, THE SLUGGISH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. IT WAS DETERMINED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND NEEDED REBUILT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY VAN DURING AFTERNOON HOURS. WHEN EVENING APPROACHED I REALIZED THE LIGHTS BEHIND MY GEAR SELECTOR AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE OUT. IT BECAME QUITE DARK AND I COULD NOT SEE MY ODOMETER TO REGULATE MY SPEED. *NM

WE (MY WIFE AND I) HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. THE AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC SLIDING DOORS ARE CONSTANTLY BREAKING AND THEY COST A SMALL FORTUNE TO REPAIR. WE PURCHASED THE HONDA BECAUSE OF THEIR REPUTATION FOR CREATING RELIABLE AUTOMOBILES. AT A MINIMUM, THEY SHOULD OFFER A WAY TO CONVERT THE DOOR FROM AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL SO THEY CAN BE SAFELY CLOSED AND SO THE AUTOMATIC MECHANISM DOESN'T HAVE TO BE REPAIRED EVERY 6 MONTHS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE DIMMER CONTROL HAS NEVER WORKED. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ALWAYS SET ON HIGH AND RECENTLY BOTH THE DASH LIGHTS AND THE GEAR SELECTOR LIGHT EXTINGUISHED. THERE IS AN NHTSA RECALL, # 00V183000, REGARDING THE INTERIOR LIGHTING. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *AK

THE AUTOMATED POWER SLIDING DOORS ON OUR 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WE GET AN ALARM LIGHT ON OUR DASH INDICATING A AUTOMATED SLIDING DOOR IS NOT PROPERLY CLOSED, AND THEN WE HAVE TO REPEATEDLY HIT THE CLOSE DOOR BUTTON TO GET THE DOOR TO FINALLY ENGAGE. EVEN THOUGH ALL ODYSSEY'S MADE IN 2000 WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, HONDA MOTOR HAS TOLD US THAT OUR 2000 ODYSSEY IS NOT INCLUDED IN 2000 RECALL CAMPAIGN, AND WE WILL HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR IT OURSELVES. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING 45 MPH THE REAR POWER PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE DOOR LATCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 00V119000, REGARDING THE DOOR LATCH; HOWEVER, IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. UPDATED 6/16/2006 - NM

SIDEWALL SEPARATION OF A GOODYEAR REGATTA 2 TIRE ON A HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. WERE TOLD BY HONDA DEALER THAT THERE WAS TREAD SEPARATION. TOOK TO DEALER (AKRON AUTO AND TRUCK TIRE) AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS DAMAGE CAUSED BY HITTING AN OBJECT. TIRE WAS REPLACED AND OTHER TIRES WERE INSPECTED ON OR ABOUT MARCH 10, 2006. REPLACED TWO TIRES. TODAY THE REMAINING GOODYEAR REGATTA EXPERIENCED A HIGH SPEED SEPARATION OF THE SIDEWALL TREAD WITH A CONCURRENT BLOW OUT WITH MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AT THE WHEEL. SHE BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OTHER THAN THE TIRE. THE SIDE WALL BLEW ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE TO THE RIM. *NM

FRONT COIL SPRING FAILURE ON 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. VEHICLE NOW PULLS HARD TO RIGHT. FORTUNATELY IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT SPEED. DEALER ADVISES ME THAT THIS WOULD BE A WARRANTY REPAIR IF WARRANTY HAD NOT EXPIRED 7000 KM AGO. *JB

FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING LET GO FROM WHATEVER HOLDS THE SPRING IN PLACE. THE LEFT FRONT COLLAPSED . THE SPRING RIPPED THE SIDE WALL OF THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE CAUSING IT TO BLOWOUT. DAMAGE WAS ALSO DONE TO THE A.B.S. CABLE .THIS OCCURRED AT 78000 MILES TO A 2000 ODYSSEY. I REPLACED THE FRONT SPRINGS AND STRUTS AND WILL HAVE TO GET BRAKE WORK DONE AS A RESULT OF THIS SCARY SITUATION. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN AUGUST OF 2000. *NM

CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE AT 89,000 MILES. *JB

SLIDING DOOR FAILURES: 8/2005 PASSENGER DOOR FAILING TO OPEN. TOOK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED DOOR CLOSER MOTOR ASSEMBLY. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THE CAR HAS "OLD TYPE" DOOR SWITCHES AND THESE MOST LIKELY WILL FAIL AND THEN HAVE TO BE REPLACED WITH "NEW" SWITCHES. COST $361.37 1/2006: DRIVER SLIDING DOOR FAILING TO OPEN. DEALER HAD TO REPLACE SLIDING ROLLER AND JUNCTION SWITCHES AND STOPPER. COST$ 631.35 HAVE HAD TO SPEND ALMOST $1000 IN 5 MONTHS JUST TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE SLIDING DOORS! *NM

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND CAUSED EXTREME ERRATIC SHIFTING. SERVICE DEPART READ CODE SIGNIFYING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TS THE MANUFACTURER CHOSE TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION IN CANADA AND AMERICA. THE CONSUMER VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER IN CANADA. AMERICAN HONDA CLAIMED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS CANADIAN THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. *NM

PURCHASED USED 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP (366 ML). TOOK GREAT CARE OF VEHICLE, AT 80,309 ML TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACING. RESEARCHED ISSUE FOUND THAT FOR THE 2000 HONDA ODYSSEYS, HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS USED. MY VEHICLE WAS OF CANADIAN ORIGIN HOWEVER IT WAS NONETHELESS AFFECTED BY THIS PARTICULAR FLAWED TRANSMISSION AS VERIFIED BY MY VIN. IN RESPONSE TO AN ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION USED IN THE 2000 HONDA ODYSSEYS HONDA RESPONDS BY EXTENDING WARRANTIES TO 7YR/100,000 MILES. HOWEVER BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS A CANADIAN MODEL ODYSSEY IT DOESN'T MATTER TO AMERICAN HONDA THAT IS WAS AFFECTED BY THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION THEY WILL NOT HONOR ANY SERVICE TO CORRECT THEIR ACKNOWLEDGED MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THE VEHICLE IS REGISTERED/USED IN THE US SO HONDA OF CANADA WILL NOT HONOR ANY SERVICE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS CONSUMERS IN MY SAME POSITION- AN ACKNOWLEDGED MANUFACTURER DEFECT SPECIFIC TO OUR 2000 HONDA ODYSSEYS YET FOR CORPORATE REASONS HONDA REFUSES TO BE ACCOUNTABLE TO US FOR SOMETHING THEY HAVE ALREADY TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND HAVE SELECTIVELY PROVIDED REMEDY TO CORRECT. NOT EXTENDING THE SAME RECOURSE AS WAS PROVIDED TO ALL OTHER 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS IN BOTH CANADA AND AMERICA HAS EXCLUDED A POPULATION OF OWNERS THAT ARE NONETHELESS AFFECTED. FOR HONDA TO PROVIDE REMEDY TO SELECT 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS AND REFUSE REMEDY TO A CERTAIN CLASS OF INDIVIDUALS IS EXTREMELY IRRESPONSIBLE. TH

1. COLD WEATHER OR NONE 2. DRIVER SIDE FRONT STRUT SPRING BROKE TRAVELING DOWN THE STRUT AND WRAPPING THROUGH THE ABS LINE (NO LINE DAMAGE, BUT POTENTIAL ABS LINE FAILURE PRESENT) PRESSING AGAINST THE TIRE (RESULTING IN A BURNED RUBBER SMELL AND POTENTIAL TIRE FAILURE). 3. FRONT SPRING REPLACED, BEARING REPLACED, RUBBER REPLACED. (OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE - ALSO HAVE PHOTO OF FAILURE IN PLACE ON VEHICLE). *JB

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED FROM PRIVATE PARTY WITH 45,000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED BY PREVIOUS OWNER AND I CONTINUED WITH ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE PER HONDA SERVICE MANUAL. A SLIGHT BEARING GROWL WAS AUDIBLE FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES BEFORE FAILURE AT 55,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING HARD FROM 1-2, AND SLOWLY ON OTHER SHIFTS. TOOK VEHICLE TO REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND HAD IT REBUILT AT A COST $3100. EVIDENTLY, HONDA HAS EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS/ 100,000 MILES TO VEHICLES WHOSE VIN # FALLS WITHIN THE LOT OF THOSE WITH ABNORMALLY HIGH TRANSMISSION FAILURE RATES. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS CLASSIFIED AS A 'GREY MARKET', IT DOESN'T QUALIFY TO RECEIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. BUT IF THIS VEHICLE HAD STAYED IN CANADA, HONDA WOULD'VE REPLACED IT WHEN IT FAILED. OR IF THIS SAME VEHICLE HAD SPENT A YEAR/ 12,000 MILES IN CANADA BEFORE IT WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE U.S., HONDA WOULD'VE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. BUT THEY WON'T FOR ME DUE TO A TECHNICALITY. HOW'S THAT FOR CUSTOMER NON-SERVICE! TO ANY REASONABLE PERSON THIS IS BULL#@%*! ANY KNOWN FACTORY DEFECT SHOULD BE WARRANTED NO MATTER WHERE THE VEHICLE IS USED OR HOW IT WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD. IF HONDA SEEKS TO CLAIM SUPERIORITY OVER OTHER BRANDS BASED ON RELIABILITY AND CUSTOMER CARE THEY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DEAL FAIRLY WITH CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE LEGITIMATE WARRANTY CLAIMS AND NOT HIDE BEHIND SOME LEGAL LOOPHOLE THEY AND OTHER AUTOMAKERS PROBABLY HAD A HAND IN CREATING. SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS

AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN A HEAD ON CRASH. DRIVER SUSTAINED NECK, SHOULDER & BACK INJURIES. DRIVER WAS WEARING SEAT BELT AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. *NM

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN WITH 52K MILES ON IT AND THE COIL SPRING AROUND THE STRUT OF ONE OF THE WHEELS SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD. THERE WAS NO TRAUMA THAT MADE IT SNAP. I WAS TOLD THAT IF THAT HAD HAPPENED WHILE WE WERE GOING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN REAL TROUBLE. I DON'T THINK THAT THE COIL SHOULD HAVE SNAPPED AT 52K MILES. IT'S GOING TO COST MORE THAN $900 TO FIX. *NM

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON ABOUT A WEEK AFTER SERVICE. ADVISE FROM DEALER TO DRIVE VEHICLE AND FILL TANK A COUPLE OF TIMES AND LIGHT SHOULD GO OFF. RESULT 1 MONTH LATER LIGHT STILL ON. IN FOR SERVICE AT DEALER REVEALS CODE P0420. THEY (DOBBS HONDA TUCSON AZ) ARE SAYING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS WELL AS AN O2 SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED COST $1,200. VEHICLE HAS 95K MILES. THIS EXCEEDS THE 80K EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I THIS CASE THESE ITEMS HAD BEEN REPLACED AT 75K MILES IN MAY OF 2004 BUT IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2005 AND THE VEHICLE IS PAST THE 1YR/12K MILES REPAIR WARRANTY. I HAVE APPEALED THIS PROBLEM TO DEALERSHIP MANAGEMENT AND THE ARE TALKING TO AMERICAN HONDAS WESTERN REGION MANAGER AS I AM WRITING THIS, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL DECIDE TO COVER THE REPAIR OR NOT, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT TIME. AFTER READING VARIOUS HONDA FORUMS IT APPEARS THAT THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THIS ON OTHER MODELS AS WELL (ACCORDS). PLEASE CONSIDER ASKING HONDA TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THESE EMISSION DEVICES AND FIGURE OUT SOME SOLUTION TO PREVENT RECURRENCE OF THE PROBLEMS. THANKS. *NM

MANUAL SLIDING DOORS STICK TO THE POINT THAT OCCUPANTS CANNOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. IT HAS TAKEN TWO LARGE ADULTS (ONE PULLING FROM THE OUTSIDE AND THE OTHER KICKING FROM THE INSIDE) TO OPEN THE DOORS. PROBLEM BEGAN IN SUMMER, 2003. WE BROKE AND HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE DOOR HANDLES IN 11/04 BECAUSE WE WERE PULLING SO HARD TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. COMPLAINED WHENEVER WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, BUT OUR COMPLAINTS NEVER APPEAR ON OUR INVOICES. THEREFORE, ACCORDING TO HONDA, THERE IS NO RECORD OF A PROBLEM WITH OUR DOORS. HONDA'S RECOMMENDATION HAS BEEN TO LUBRICATE THE DOORS, BUT WE NEVER NOTICE ANY IMPROVEMENT IN THE PROBLEM. MY DEALER JUST INFORMED ME THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED RECOMMENDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DOOR SEALS AT A COST TO US OF NEARLY $400. AS A "GOODWILL" GESTURE, THEY HAVE OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS, BUT WE WILL PAY NEARLY $200 TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA SHOULD CORRECT, BUT AS THE PROBLEM AROSE AFTER OUR 30,000 MILE WARRANTY, THEY FEEL THERE IS NO OBLIGATION TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I KEEP THINKING ABOUT MY CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED, PERHAPS WITH THE CAR ON FIRE, AND WONDER HOW HONDA CAN TREAT THE ISSUE SO CASUALLY. *NM

UNRELIABLE DOOR LATCHES ON SLIDING (POWERED) SIDE DOORS. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A MALFUNCTIONING OF THE SEAT BELTS IN THE MIDDLE ROW OF THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALER SIX TIMES. THE SEAT BELTS WORKED CORRECTLY FOR A SHORT TIME THEN FAILED TO RETRACT. THE DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. *AK (12/02/05) (THE RIGHT AND MIDDLE SEAT BELT) THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. *SC

DT: THE CALLER SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENS WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING. THE INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON , AND THE ALARM GOES OFF. THE CALLER SAYS THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN ALL THE WAY. HAD IT TO THE DEALER 10 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. DEALER SAID IT WAS DIRTY CONNECTIONS AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO FIX IT. MANUFACTURER WILL OFFER NO HELP FOR FREE. ALSO, THE CALLER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER CONCERNING GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE ( EGR VALVE). THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT APPROVE THE RECALL WORK. ALSO WANTED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. *AK THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED, THE SEAT RECLINED WHEN THE CONSUMER EXITED THE VEHICLE. *JB

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. TWO WEEKS AGO, MY SLIDING DOOR SENSOR WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THE DOORS WERE CLOSED BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE THE ALARM IN THE CAR WOULD SOUND AS IF ONE OF THE DOORS WAS OPEN. I CHECKED THE DOORS AND AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES OF OPENING AND CLOSING THEM, THE ALARM DID NOT SOUND. I WAS DUE TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED FOR ITS 75,000 MILE SERVICE SO I WAITED TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR IT'S ROUTINE SERVICE, AS I DO FOR EACH SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE DOOR SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST $1,100 TO FIX. I EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. HONDA IN TURN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY (APPARENTLY THE WARRANTY WAS NOT A HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALTHOUGH, THIS IS WHAT ROSENTHAL HAD PORTRAYED IT AS) ABOUT THE REPAIR AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD CALL THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO COMPLAIN IF I FELT SO INCLINED TO DO. I CALLED THE WARRANTY COMPANY AND THEY SAID THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE IS JUST OVER 75,063 MILES. THEY DID NOT CARE THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN THIS BE A NON-RECALL ISSUE IF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION IS THE EXACT REASON WHY I PURCHASED HONDA'S EXTENDED WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. IF I HAD KNOW THE DOORS ON THIS VEHICLE WOU

AUTOMATIC DOORS ON 2000 HONDA ACCORD DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. SAFETY MECHANISM DOES NOT PREVENT DOOR FROM CLOSING ON CHILD. DOORS DO NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY AND ARE FAULTY. DOORS NEED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT AT 64K MILES DUE FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *JB

SECOND ROW SEAT BELTS DO NOT REMAIN IN LOCKED POSITION WHEN USING WITH AN INFANT CAR SEAT. THE SEAT BELT WILL REMAIN LOCKED FOR 1, 2, OR 3 DAYS. BUT WE HAVE FOUND THE BELT LOCKING MECHANISM TO EVENTUALLY RELEASE. CHECKING THE BELT TO SEE IT'S LOCKED AT THE START OF YOUR TRIP ONLY TO FIND AT THE END OF THE TRIP THE LOCK HAS RELEASED. SINCE THE VAN IS OUT OF 3 YR / 36,000 MI WARRANTY, WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VAN IS MODEL YEAR 2000 WITH 32,000 MILES. *NM

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS BEEN REPLACED 2 TIMES AND NEEDS ANOTHER REPLACEMENT NOW. *NM

DT: JUST CAME TO A STOP AND PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO GO AND IT WAS IN REVERSE. THE VEHICLE HAD 98,000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. THIS HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2005. ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2005 PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND ON THE FREEWAY NOTICED IT WAS IN THIRD GEAR. HAVE NOT CONTACTED THE DEALER YET. *AK

DT: THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE REAR CYLINDER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD SHOT GUN. THIS HAPPENED ON JULY 10, 2005. HAD NOT CHANGED ANYTHING UNDER HOOD. CONTACTED HONDA, THEY WOULD NOT PAY TO TOW VEHICLE TO DEALER. THE CONSUMER FIXED IT HIMSELF. IT MASSED UP THE IGNITION COIL, SHORTED OUT THE SYSTEM, AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. *AK

BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR LATCH/CLOSERS FAILED. THE DRIVERS SIDE FAILED IN 02. AND THE LATCH WAS REPLACED UNDER THE WARENTEE. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS FAILED RECENTLY, AUG. 05. THE FAILURE, AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AS DESCRIBED IN A 2000 HONDA RECALL ID # 00V119000, BUT, IN CONTACTING HONDA DIRECTLY, WAS TOLD MY VEHICLES VIN # WAS NOT A RECALL VEHICLE.

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY RECALL ISSUED/WARRANTY EXTENDED TO 7/100000 ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES, THUS VEHICLE HAS ITS FIFTH TRANSMISSION NOW. TRANSMISSION STILL NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. *NM

PROBLEM WITH 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY MOTOR MOUNTS. VEHICLE WITH 70000 MILES. FRONT AND RIGHT MOTOR MOUNTS NEEDED REPLACING. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATES A VERY FREQEUNT OCCURANCE WITH HONDA ACCORDS AND ODYSSEYS POINTING TO A DESIGN DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. REPAIR EXPENSIVE TO OWNER. FAILURE CAUSES SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION OF ENGINE AND EVENTUAL PROGRESSION OF FAILURE TO OTHER MORE EXPENSIVE PARTS. TO FIX, PARTS WERE REPLACED.

OUR 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY IS ON ITS FOURTH SET OF BULBS FOR THE HIGH-MOUNT STOP LAMP FIXTURE. I NOTICE AN UNUSUAL NUMBER OF ODYSSEY MINIVANS WITH THESE LIGHTS OUT. I THINK THE FIXTURE MAY BE DEFECTIVE OR POORLY DESIGNED.

THE FUEL FILLER NECK HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK. AS A RESULT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON, AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO PASS INSPECTION. *AK A LEAK WAS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE FUEL FILLER PIPE. THE FUEL FILLER PIPE WAS REPLACED AGAIN ALONG WITH THE FUEL PUMP SEAL AND NUT. *SC *JB

ON MAY 17, 2005 WE PURCHASED 4 DUNLOP SP SPORT 4000 TIRES FOR OUR HONDA ODYSSEY. WE HAD 4 WHEEL FRONT DRIVE ALIGNMENT AND COMPUTER BALANCING. ON MAY 30TH, WE NOTICED A BUBBLE ON THE SIDE OF THE WALL. SINCE THE TIRES WERE ONLY 2 WEEKS OLD, WE WERE VERY SURPRISED AND DISAPPOINTED. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE ORIGINAL TIRE SHOP, THEY SAID THAT SUCH BUBBLES WERE NOT THE RESULT OF POORLY MADE TIRES, INSTEAD, BY ROAD HAZARDS. THERE ARE NO SCRATCHES OR OTHER NOTICEABLE MARKS ON THE TIRE, BUT THERE IS A RIP ON THE INSIDE, NEAR THE RIM. THE TIRE WAS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE.

CONSUMER DISSATISFACTION WITH HONDA CONCERNING NOTIFICATION OF RECALLS TO THE NEW OWNER OF THE 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR (COMPUTERS AND CONTROL SYSTEMS/EGR PORT CLOGGING) THE CONSUMER FELT THAT HONDA SHOULD CARRY OUT IT'S RESPONSIBILITIES AND PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR AT NO COST TO HIM. *SC THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE RECALL WORK HAD TO BE PERFORMED BY 80,000, HOWEVER THE CONSUMERS VEHICLE HAD OVER 93,000 MILES. *JB

THE MANUAL DOORS ON MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY CONTINUALLY GET STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION. I HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IT CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM IN HOT OR COLD, WET OR DRY WEATHER. PEOPLE GET STUCK INSIDE, AND CAN'T GET OUT UNLESS THEY PUT THEIR SHOULDER INTO THE DOOR, AND PEOPLE GET STUCK OUTSIDE NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE DOORS WON'T OPERATE PROPERLY UNDER NORAML CONDITIONS, HOW LIKELY WILL THEY OPERATE IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION? PLEASE INSTRUCT HONDA TO INITIATE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.*AK

THE LEFT SLIDING DOOR MALFUNCTIONED EVERY TIME IT WAS OPENED DUE TO THE DEFECT AS DESCRIBED IN THE SLIDING DOOR RECALL 00V119000. THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

THE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD AUTOMATICALLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. INTERMITTENTLY THE SLIDING DOORS WOULD LOCK BY THEMSELVES, AND NOT OPEN FROM EITHER SIDE. ALSO, THE DOOR AJAR/OPEN ALARM REMAINED ON WHILE DRIVING, AND BOTH DOORS WOULD BE CLOSED. CONSUMER WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE SLIDING DOOR SWITCH TO TURN OFF THE ALARM, WHICH CAUSED BOTH DOORS NOT TO OPEN IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER. *AK

WHILE DRIVING INSTRUMENT DASHBOARD PANEL FAILED TO LIGHT UP. DASHBOARD FAILED TO DISPLAY IN ORDER FOR THE CONSUMER TO SEE PROPERLY, THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE INSTRUMENT DASHBOARD PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK *SC

WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE PASSENGER REAR SLIDING DOOR OPEN ON IT'S OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPLACED IT NUMEROUS TIMES. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF WEEKDS SLIDING SIDE DOORS ON THE VEHICLE WOULD OPEN ON THEIR OWN. THEN, THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. IT WOULD NOT OPEN WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT APPLICATION OF MANUAL FORCE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED TRANSMISSION MADE A CLANKING NOISE. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED PROBLEM, BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. *AK

RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR HAS BEEPED ON AND OFF SINCE OWNING IT. NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. NOW THE DOOR WON'T WORK AT ALL. WE CANNOT CLOSE IT MANUALLY OR ELECTRICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT NEEDS NEW ROLLERS AND MOTOR AT A COST OF $1339.00. *AK

NORMAL FREEWAY DRIVING BACK FROM WORK. SUDDENLY, RIGHT-HAND REAR TIRE WENT FLAT. NO PUNCTURES ON THE TIRE, BUT ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE, THERE IS A CRACK ABOUT 1 INCH LONG. WE BOUGHT THIS HONDA ODYSSEY IN 2000, STILL ORIGINAL TIRE WITH 26,000 MILES. IT IS A FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRE, P215/65R16, DOT# VN2H AAA 140. *AK

DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR FAILS TO CLOSE COMPLETELY - SOMETIMES LEAVES APPROXIMATLEY A FOUR INCH GAP BETWEEN DOOR POST AND EDGE OF DOOR. DOOR MUST EITHER BE PUSHED CLOSED OR RE-OPENED COMPLETELY AND THEN CLOSED WITH PRESSURE ON REAR DOOR EDGE. OCCASIONALLY, DOOR WILL SEEM LOCKED (DASHBOARD OPEN DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT IS OFF) AND WHEN MAKING RIGHT TURNS, BOTH THE OPEN DOOR INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHES AND CEILING MAP LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF WHEN TURN HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, I AM EXTREMLY CONCERNED THAT EITHER THE DOOR(S) WILL OPEN DURING DRIVING OR THE DOOR(S) WILL NOT OPEN DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I CANNOT BELIEVE HONDA WOULD SUBJECT ITSELF TO THIS TYPE OF POTENTIAL LIABILITY.*AK

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP COMPLETELY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DROVE IT TO A BODY SHOP FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB
