2003 Honda Odyssey complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SECOND GEAR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON VEHICLE. EVERYDAY AS DRIVING MAIN STREETS OR HIGHWAYS WHILE ACCELERATING THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE ITS GONE INTO NEUTRAL FOR 5-15 MIN VARYING. AND WILL PICK BACK UP ON ACCELERATION. TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIR WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT DUE TO TORQUE CONVERTER OVER HEATING MELTING A PART TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM AND ALSO DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TO PULL RECALLS COMPLETED ON VEHICLE BUT NOTHING SHOW FOR THE AT PARTICULAR PART BUT I U DERSRAND THERE WAS I NEED .WHAT WILL BE THE PROTOCALL FOR POSSIBLE REIMBURSEMENT ON REPAIRS.

ENGINE, SUSPENSION OR UNKNOWN ?: THREE OF THE 4 MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKEN AND NOT SUPPORTING THE ENGINE. THE ONE REMAINING MOTOR MOUNT IS UNDER EXTREME STRESS AND CAN FAIL ANYTIME. I HAVE HAD TWO DEALER SERVICE MANAGERS CONFIRM THIS PROBLEM AND BOTH HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. BOTH HAVE WARNED ME THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IF THE LAST MOUNT FAILS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CONDITION OF THE ROADS AND FREEWAYS MAKE IT VERY HARD TO AVOID POT HOLES AND I HOLD MY BREATH EVERY TIME I HIT ONE TO SEE IF THE MOTOR IS OK. ELECTRICAL: 1. AFTER I HAD THE AIR BAGS THAT WERE RECALLED REPLACED THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ?? PROBLEM THAT TURNS THE RADIO ON AND OFF (I CAN USUALLY CHANGE IT BY BEATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.) 2. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I REMOVE THE KEY IT CONTINUES TO BEEP UNTIL I BEAT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. 3. OFTEN WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THERE IS A LOUD ELECTRICAL (CRACKING LIKE A SHORT) SOUND IN THE SPEAKERS THAT SOMETIMES I CAN STOP BY BEATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IF IT DOESN'T STOP I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. 4, THE DOOR AND SLIDER LOCKS DO NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH THE REMOTE OR THE LOCKS ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN SO A PASSENGER CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR OR SLIDER MANUALLY. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 2+ YEARS. I AM A VERY LOW INCOME 75 YEAR OLD SENIOR WHO CAN'T AFFORD $1000+ TO REPLACE THE FAILED MOTOR MOUNTS. I'VE PUT OUT $

VAN ACCELERATED WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THIS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR NHTSA RECALL 16V-344 IN JUNE OF 2016. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT WAIKEM HONDA IN MASSILLON OHIO TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE. THIS APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR THE MORNING OF JULY 9TH, 2016. AFTER I MADE THE 40 + MILE DRIVE TO WAIKEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT ORDER THE PART TO DO THE WORK. I WAS OFFERED NO APOLOGY, ACCOMMODATION, OR REASONABLE SOLUTION. WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR, I WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT I WAS SPEAKING WITH HIM ALREADY. DISGUSTED WITH THEIR COMPLETE LACK OF COMPETENCE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE, I USED THEIR PHONE TO CALL PARK HONDA IN AKRON. I LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY GOT ALL OF MY INFORMATION AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME OUT THAT DAY, BUT WOULD GET THE PART IN, AND THEN CALL ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. FIVE MONTHS LATER I HAVE NOT HEARD A THING FROM EITHER HONDA DEALER. I HAVE ATTACHED A SCREEN SHOT FROM THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT REMINDER FROM WAIKEM HONDA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

WHILE IN MOTION, MY VEHICLE WILL SPORADICALLY NOT SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR. THIS RESULTS IN LACK OF ACCELERATION AND HAS CAUSED PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, CROSSING HIGHWAYS AND INTERSECTIONS WHICH CAUSE THE NEED FOR OTHER DRIVERS TO SWERVE AROUND ME. NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS I GIVE THE THING, IT WILL NOT SPEED UP OR SHIFT INTO GEAR UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT CAUSES A SUDDEN JOLT, AND THEN IT WILL JUMP INTO GEAR. ON THE CONTRARY, IT ALSO GEARS DOWN ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION OR DOES NOT SHIFT INTO A GEAR AT ALL AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY NEAR MY HOME. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I MUST SHIFT INTO PARK OR REVERSE AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE UNTIL IT GOES INTO GEAR. I CROSS MANY HIGHWAYS DAILY WHICH PUT MY CHILDREN AND I AT AN UNNECESSARY RISK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS, AND I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WITHOUT A PERMANENT RESOLUTION. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION "POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION-RECALL FOR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY" AND MY PARTICULAR VIN SHOWS AS BEING REPAIRED. HOWEVER, IT SEEMS THAT IT IS STILL CAUSING HAZARDOUS ISSUES FOR MY FAMILY. THE RECALL ON THE TRANNY STATES THAT A DEFECT CAUSES THE GEARS TO "CHIP". THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING. I WILL SAY THAT DURING THESE INSTANCES, THE TCS LIGHT WILL COME ON. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN IT OFF, AND SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF ON ITS OWN AFTER IT FINALLY GOES INTO GEAR. I A

LATER ON AFTER A MINOR IMPACT, FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS LOCKED AND SRS BECAME ILLUMINATED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE IMPACT. THE SEAT BELTS DID NOT LOCK DURING THE IMPACT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY LATER EITHER, BUT THE SEATBELTS LOCKED. ALSO, THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE DAMAGE AT THE SCENE AND ONE TAKEN WELL AFTERWARD. THE BELTS LOCKED AND LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT THE SAME TIME I OBSERVED THAT THE GAP HAD FORMED IN THE BUMPER.

TAKATA AIRBAG I TOOK MY ODYSSEY TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND TWO DEALERSHIPS LIED ABOUT REPLACING THE TAKATA AIRBAG. NOW, HONDA IS TELLING ME THAT THEY DON'T HAVE AIRBAGS AND CAN'T DO THE REPAIR. THEY NEVER HAD THE AIRBAGS, THEY LIED ABOUT INSTALLING THEM AND I CAN'T EVEN SELL THIS THING LEGALLY AS IT WAS ILLEGALLY SOLD TO ME, THERE IS NOT TEETH NOR TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE IN THIS RECALL THAT CAN AND WILL CAUSE MORE DEATHS. YOU'RE FORCING ME TO PUT A DATE ON THIS RIDICULOUS FORM SO WHICH DATE DO I USE? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS! I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THIS AND APPARENTLY IT'S BEEN LOST OR IGNORED. HONDA SHOULD BE FINED AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPLACE THESE VEHICLES! HOW DARE HONDA TELL ME THAT THEY REPLACED A PART BUT NEVER DID. REPEATING FOR THE THIRD TIME: HONDA, AT TWO DIFFERENT WASHINGTON STATE DEALERSHIPS, LIED ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAG!

HONDA REFUSING TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE JAN 16, 2003 - NHTSA# 03V014000 - FUEL SYSTEM APRIL 15, 2004 - NHTSA#04V176000 - POWER TRAIN DECEMBER 11, 2012 - NHTSA# 12V573000 - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BRAMAN HONDA OF MANHATTAN LOCATED AT 627 11TH AVE NEW YORK NY ON JUNE 6, 2016. THEY HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 93 DAYS. ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 THEY CALL ME TO TELL ME TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE AND THEY ARE NOT COMPLETING ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CURRENT OUTSTANDING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. THE ABOVE MENTIONED RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE WERE NEVER ADDRESSED BY ANY HONDA SERVICE LOCATION.

1.STARTING IN EARLY JULY 2016, MY HONDA ODYSSEY BEGAN RANDOMLY ACCELERATING ON THIS OWN, WITHOUT A HUMAN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. WHILE IN DRIVE, THE CAR ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. 2.WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO PRESS EXTREMELY HARD ON THE BRAKE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THEN, WHEN I PLACE THE CAR IN PARK, THE RPM INCREASES TO BETWEEN 5,OOO AND 7,000. AGAIN, THIS IS WITHOUT A HUMAN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. 3.THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS TURNED ON, AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM IS TAKING OVER EVEN THOUGH IT'S TURNED ON. 4.THIS ISSUE DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED ON. IT SOMETIMES TAKES A RANDOM AMOUNT OF TIME TO MANIFEST ITSELF WHILE THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN. 5.I'VE FACED THIS ISSUE AT LEAST 15 TO 20 TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 MONTHS. 6.OBVIOUSLY, THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER MOTORISTS. AND THEREFORE, IT MUST BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY. THE HONDA DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, BUT ONLY CHECKED THE VEHICLES CPU. THIS IS INSUFFICIENT BECAUSE, AS INDICATED ABOVE, THE CPU WILL NOT REGISTER AN ISSUE IN IDLE MODE OR WHEN THE PROBLEM ISN'T ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

SRS LIGHT DOES NOT GO OFF.

ON FEBRUARY 14, 2015, I BROUGHT MY HONDA ODYSSEY IN TO A DEALER FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL. TWO DAYS AFTER I GOT IT FIXED MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN IN DRIVE AND STAYED ON. I CALLED AND MADE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT CONCERNING THE LIGHT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ODS UNIT HAD FAILED AND THAT IT WAS LISTED AS A RECALL AS WELL. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD BE ALL SET. HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME $146.48. I THEN BROUGHT THE PART AND HAD IT INSTALLED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP WORKER. AFTER THE REPAIR THE LIGHT DID NOT OFF. ON APRIL 30, 2016 I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK FOR THE FINAL RECALL NOTICE AND TO FIND OUT WHY THE LIGHT HAD NOT GONE OFF. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE SENSOR. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. MY PROBLEM IS THAT MY SRS LIGHT WAS NOT ON BEFORE THEY MESSED WITH THE AIRBAGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RECALL. IF THEY MISDIAGNOSED MY CAR AND ON TOP OF THAT ALREADY MADE ME PAY $146.48 FOR A NEW OPDS UNIT (WHICH AT FIRST THEY SAID WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL) WHY SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM? THEY CAUSED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE FIXED THE 'RECALL'. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE. WITH THIS LIGHT BEING ON I FEEL AS THOUGH MY AIRBAG CAN DEPLOY AT ANY TIME, PUTTING MY LIFE IN JEOPARDY. I AM ALSO A TEACHER AND USE MY VAN TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN FROM TIME TO TIME. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN ARE MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. SO NOW I AM ASKING THAT MY REPAIRS BE MADE AT NO COST TO

TAKATA RECALL. AS I WAS REACHED A STOP ZONE IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL PEDESTRIAN CROSSING ON 4/11/16, I HEARD A LOUD BOOM LIKE AN EXPLOSION ON MY MINIVAN. THE SOUND WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND MADE MY EARS HURT AND I WAS DISORIENTED. I LOOKED AROUND THRU THE WINDOW AND REAR VIEW MIRRORS BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE HITTING OR ANY TYPE OF COLLISION WITH ANY OBJECT OR ERWIN. I THEN FELT FABRIC TOUCHING MY LEFT ARM AND SAW THE SIDE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED ON HEIR OWN. BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SIDE AIRBAGS WERE OUT OF THE SEAT AND DEPLETED . MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE SECOND ROW SEAT BEHIND ME AND MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING ON THE SECOND ROW SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEY WERE SCARED AND I DROVE THE VAN TO MY HOUSE ABOUT 1.5 BLOCKS AWAY. I HAVE A CONTINUOS RINGING IN MY LEFT EAR SINCE THAT DAY. MY PRIMARY MD HAS REFERRED ME TO AUDIOLOGY SPECIALIST. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP AT THE PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY IN FRONT OF SILVERWING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN AREY DR. IN SAN DIEGO CA. I HAVE NOT MOVED THE CAR FROM MY HOME DRIVEWAY AFRAID THAT THE FRONT AIRBAGS COULD DEPLOY THE SAME WAY. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY WANT TO TOE THE CAR TO A DEALER TOMORROW 4/15/16 TO PLACE THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND EVALUATE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HOW TO CORRECT IT.

EVERY TIME I GO TO CLOSE THE DOORS BY PULLING THE HANDLE WHETHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, THEY DON'T CLOSE. I WAS PARKED IN A FLAT PAVED DRIVEWAY WITH UNLEASHED DOGS IN THE YARD. I DIDN'T REALIZE THEY WERE UNLEASHED BY THEY STARTED RUNNING TOWARD THE CAR AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT CLOSE!!! MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AS HER SAFETY AND MY 8 YEAR OLD SONS SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY ODYSSEY OWNERS AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. AT THIS POINT WHEN THE DOORS FINALLY CLOSE THEY ARE NOT CLOSING SMOOTHLY ON THE RAIL. THE PAINT AND SIDE BAR HAVE LITERALLY COME OFF AND ARE NOW BEING HELD UP BY DUCT TAPE. I'M SO DISGUSTED!! I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR A REPAIR ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY CLOSED THE DOORS IS BY HITTING THE INSIDE BUTTON BUT EVEN THAT NEEDS TO BE PRESSED NEARLY 5-6 TIMES BEFORE IT CLOSES FULLY. I HAVE TRIED TO MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOORS BUT THEY ARE SO HEAVY I JUST DONT HAVE THE STRENGTH.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V573000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AS THE KEY REMAINED IN THE OFF POSITION.

A METAL BRACKET RIVETING THE DRIVER SEAT BOTTOM TO THE POWER SEAT STRUCTURE HAS TORN THROUGH DUE TO METAL FATIGUE. THIS ALLOWS THE WHOLE DRIVE SEAT TO MOVE FREELY WITHIN A FEW INCHES OF TRAVEL DURING ACCELERATION AND TURNING.

BASED ON NHTSA RECALL 04V-176 - TRANSMISSION RECALL, ANY CAR BELOW 15K MILES WILL HAVE A RETURN LINE INSTALLED TO LUBRICATE THE 2ND GEAR. ABOVE 15K MILES NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED BY THE DEALER FOR DISCOLORATION OF THE CLUTCHE PLATES INSIDE THE GEAR BOX. HONDA STATED THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH A RETURN LINE, BUT IN FACT IF THE 2ND GEAR HAD THIS ISSUE, THIS IS NOT A FIX, BUT JUST A WORK AROUND TO SAVE REPAIR COST FOR HONDA. HOW DID NHTSA APPROVE SUCH A TEMP REMEDIATION, WHEN THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY. OPENED UP A CASE WITH HONDA AND I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE TRANNY HAS AN ISSUES BUT IS OPERATIONAL, IT IS NOT CONSIDERED AS FAULTY. HOW CAN HONDA STATE IF THE CAR IS OPERATIONAL, IT IS NOT FAULTY, IN THAT CASE DOES HONDA EXPECT THE VAN TO BREAK AND BE UNOPERATIONAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO CLAIM THE ISSUE AS A RECALL ? MY SERVCE REPORT FROM THE DEALER CLEARLY STATES THAT THE RECALL OF THE RETURN LINE TO THE 2ND GEAR SHOULD ONLY BE DONE IF THE VEHICLE WAS BELOW 15K MILES, HOW WAS THIS DONE ON MY CAR WITH 40K MILES AND ABOVE. AND HOW WAS THIS AUTHORIZED OR IS IT LEGAL ? GOT A REPORT FROM THE DEALER RECENTLY WHICH CLEARLY STATES THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 2ND GEAR NOT SHIFTING TO THE NEXT GEAR. EVERY HONDA ODYSSEY OWNER KNOWS THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND INFERIROR CLUTCH PLATES IN THE 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. I ANTICIPATE NHTSA TAKE ACTIONS ON SUCH CORPORATIONS WHO TRY TO EVADE THE SYSTEMS AND PROVIDE A PATCH/WORK AROUND SOLUTIONS WHICH IS NOT A PE

WE COULD HAVE DIED YESTERDAY 02-01-2016.THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO A WILD VIOLENT DOWNSHIFT AS WE WE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. IN THE VEHICLE WERE MY WIFE WHOM IS 38 WEEKS PREGNANT, MY 5 SONS AGES 12 (AUTISIM),AGE 5,AGE 4 (ADHA),AGE 3 (AUTISIM),AND AGE 2. I LUCKILY AVOIDED BEING T-BONED DUE TO THE GRACE OF GOD. WE MADE IT HOME EVENTUALLY AND IT FAILED TO GO INTO REVERSE AND WHEN IT DID IT WAS A VERY HARD ENGAGE AND A VERY AWFUL SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE DIPSTICK TUBE WHEN I GOT IT PARKED. WHAT I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND IS THAT THESE VERY RICH OWNERS MAKING BILLIONS THRROUGH HONDA AND SEEM TO HAVE NO CARE FOR ANYONE. I CAN NOT AFFORD ANOTHER FAMILY VEHICLE. BUT THE SAD OFFENSE IS HONDA CARES FOR NO ONE . IT WILL TAKE AN ABSOLUTE TRAGIC DEATH DEALING WITH THESE VERY CHEAP TRANSMISSIONS.

HONDA ISSUED A RECALL NOTICE, SERVICE BULLETIN:08-031 " WARRANTY EXTENSION: PAINT PEELING ON DARK BLUE 2003-2005 ODYSSEYS". I AM ATTACHING THE SERVICE BULLETIN FOR YOUR REF. MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS AFFECTED AND ITS BLUE COLOR WAS PEELING OFF OF PLACES. ON FEB 24TH 2010, COLONIAL HONDA OF DARTMOUTH, MA REPAINTED THE AREAS OF CAR AS PER THE BULLETIN: WHICH WERE ROOF, HOOD, TOP HALF QUARTER PANELS, AND TOP HALF FENDERS. MY CONCERN WAS THAT HONDA CHOSE TO JUST PAINT THE FEW AREAS AND IF OTHER AREAS STARTS TO PEEL OFF AS WELL BUT I WAS TOLD BY COLONIAL DARTMOUTH DEALER THAT TO KEEP COST DOWN, HONDA IS ONLY WILLING TO RE-PAINT THE AFFECTED AREAS AND SHOULD ANY OTHER BE AFFECTED AT A LATER POINT, THOSE WILL BE DONE AT THAT POINT. WITH THAT SAID, I AGREED AND LET THE DEALER DO THE WORK. SOME TIME LATER I NOTICED THE PAINT IS PEELING FROM OTHER AREAS. IT IS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IT IS PEELING, LIKE IT DID BEFORE AND MATCHES PICTURES SHOWN IN THE BULLETIN ATTACHED. SO, I WENT BACK TO COLONIAL HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO CALL HONDA I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THEY HAD PROMISED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AT A LATER POINT IF PEELING SHOULD OCCURS BUT NOW THEY ARE NOT HONORING THEIR WORD AND LOOKING THE OTHER WAY AND ALSO MADE DEROGATORY REMARKS ABOUT MY CAR, THAT " YOUR CAR IS 13 YEARS OLD" !!! SUBSEQUENTLY, I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPENED CASE# N012015-04-2100738. AFTER ABOUT 30 MIN OF KEEPING ME ON HOLD, HONDA CUSTOMER REP, MATTHEW TOLD ME THE SAME THING THE DEALER S

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING BADLY AT UNDER 140,000 MILES. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE ALWAYS USED DEALER AS THE MECHANIC AND FOR RECALLS OR SERVICES. I HAD HIGHER EXPECTATIONS FROM HONDA CARS, TO GO LONGER. THE PRICE THEY QUOTED ME FOR REPAIR WAS OVER 5000$ JUST FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE WAS POOR AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED! THEY EVEN CHARGED ME 115$ JUST TO TELL ME MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING (WHICH I ALREADY KNEW)! THE CAR STARTED SLIPPING ON A MONDAY NIGHT. IT WAS LATE. I USED THE CAR TO DRIVE MY SON TO SCHOOL AT 7:30 IN THE AM ( 1.5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE) AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IN GEAR AFTER STOPPING TO LET MY SON OUT. I WAS BLOCKING THE SCHOOL DRIVE AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO HONDA. IT WAS CLEARLY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER SERVICE WAS NOT GREAT, EVEN AFTER GOING THERE AND BUYING MY CAR THERE ALL THESE YEARS. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION AND I FEEL THAT IT WAS NOT PROPERLY RESOLVED!

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH LESS THAN 127,000. *SMD

VEHICLE WENT IDLE WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AND HAVE ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. THE MILEAGE READING IS 130,000 AND THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED IN A HONDA DEALERSHIP.

THE SRS LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE IS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. HONDA DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A SWITCH IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT. PAGE 53 OF MY VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY STATES THE FOLLOWING: "HONDA PROVIDES A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON SEAT BELTS. HONDA WILL REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY SEAT BELT COMPONENT THAT FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING NORMAL USE." AS SUCH, THE AFOREMENTIONED SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH IS A COMPONENT OF THE SEAT BELT. HOWEVER, HONDA REFUSES TO COVER REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AS ACCORDING TO MY MANUAL, AN SRS INDICATOR LIGHT MAY CAUSE CERTAIN AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION. SUCH AN EVENT WOULD SURELY CAUSE CLEARLY PREVENTABLE BODILY HARM IF THEY WOULD JUST HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. I'M CALLING ON THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, AS I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS IN ONLINE FORUMS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, WITH MIXED RESULTS FROM HONDA.
