CAR WAS RUNNING ON CITY ROAD AND SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP IMMEDIATELY. IT WAS GOOD THAT I WAS NOT BUSY AND NOT RUNNING FAST OR NOT IN THE FREEWAY, AND THERE IS NO CAR BEHIND MY CAR. I STOP ENGINE; AFTER SOMETIME I STARTED AND IT WAS RUNNING AGAIN AND AFTER 20 MINUTES IT STOPPED ON THE ROAD AGAIN. I DROVE TO A NEARBY HONDA SERVICE CENTER FOR CHECKING AND THEY GAVE ME DOCUMENTS THAT SAID A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT NEEDED THAT COST MORE THAN 6,000. I DROVE BACK IN MY PARKING LOT AND PARK THERE AND DID NOT DRIVE ON THE ROAD AGAIN. I TRIED IN THE PARKING LOT AND FOUND IT RUNS WHEN THE CAR IS COLD, BUT WHEN IT HEATED IT STOP, BUT AFTER SOMETIMES IT RUN AGAIN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND DO NOT DRIVE THIS CAR ON THE ROAD. SOME OF MY FRIENDS ALSO BROUGHT THE SAME CAR AND THEY FACED THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER 100,000-180,000. IF A CAR TRANSMISSION FAILED LIKE THIS AND IF IT HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY WITH 70 SPEED IT CAN MAKE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HONDA CO. MUST RECALL THIS MODEL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 20 MPH AND I HAD TO USE THE BRAKES, MY CAR JERKED SUDDENLY TWICE WHILE I WAS GENTLY PUSHING THE BRAKES (AS IF I SLAMMED ON THEM TWICE). I ACCELERATED SLOWLY AND ONCE I GOT BACK INTO SECOND GEAR MY CAR WOULDN'T CATCH AND STARTED TO MAKE A WHIRRING NOISE. ONCE IT GOT PAST SECOND GEAR IT DRIVES SLOWER THAN USUAL FOR THE AMOUNT OF RPMS BEING USED. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT'S ONLY ON THE SECOND GEAR THAT IT GLITCHES UP. I KNOW THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF MILES BUT IT HAS A NEWER MOTOR AND WE HAVE KEPT UP ON THE FLUIDS FOR THE VEHICLE. IT SHOULD NOT BE ACTING THIS WAY AND I EXPECT A RECALL ON THIS PROMPTLY. EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY VAN IT IS NOT LIKE IT USE TO BE. IT'S SLOWER AND AS STATED BEFORE THE RPMS IT USES SHOULD MAKES ITS SPEED FASTER BUT THE SPEED SLOWLY INCREASES WHILE THE RPMS INCREASE DRASTICALLY AND QUICKLY. I WANT THIS FIXED AND I WANT THIS FIXED NOW!! I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT'S ACTING AND IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR ANYONE AT THIS POINT. I WILL BE CONTACTING CORPORATE IF NEEDED. I EXPECT A RESPONSE FROM HONDA PROMPTLY. *TR

PLEASE HAVE ONE OF YOUR INVESTIGATORS' TO LOOK INTO THIS: TAKE A LOOK ON THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ( ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF HONDA OWNERS', VANS & SEDANS ON THE ROAD WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING) 2003 HONDA TRANSMISSION SLIPPING BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEARS - ALL THE OWNERS' COMPLAINTS ARE IDENTICAL. UNEXPECTEDLY, THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL ACCELERATION POWER, A VERY DANGEROUS & SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT, HAZARD AS THE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE & ACCELERATION. RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING IN OUR MODEL YEAR 2003 AND FROM MANY HONDA AND ACURA SEDAN OWNERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM: ALL HAVE THE V-TECH ENGINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR THOUSANDS OF HONDA & ACURA DRIVERS ON THE ROAD -A MOTHER'S WITH A VAN FULL OF CHILDREN OR REALLY ANY DRIVER TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON A BUSY ROAD FROM A DEAD STOP. A DRIVER LOSES CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE SPEED UNEXPECTEDLY COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, EVEN DEATH. HONDA DEALERS ARE HITTING CUSTOMERS' FOR $4000.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALL, REPLACING THE SAME MALFUNCTIONING ONE THAT WAS IN THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY, NOT REIMBURSING OWNERS' FOR THE VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILL. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS SERIOUS & DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT WHICH THEY IGNORED, HID, KEPT INSTALLING THE SAME TRANSMISSIONS WHEN IT WAS WELL KNOWN TO HONDA INSIDERS' THAT THEY HAD A MAJOR

THE GEAR IN THE TRANSMISSION BROKEN IN TO PIECES, SHOT IN TO BEARING AND BROKEN THE CASE OF TRANSMISSION, MADE A TERRIBLE BIG SOUND. THE CAR ON FREE WAY IN MORE THAN 65 MILES, ALL THE LIGHTS IS ON. ENGINE DIED AND SPEED OUT OF CONTROL. I HAVE ASKED JUST ANSWER, THE EXPERT TOLD ME THAT IS NOT NORMAL ACCIDENT! IF YOU LIKE WE WILL SENT PIC TO YOU AND FEED BACK CENTER.

PURCHASED 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY NEW IN 12/2002. HAD ISSUE WITH TROUBLE LIGHT WITHIN WEEKS OF PURCHASE. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AT 25,000 MILES AND GOT WORSE. DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT 35,000 MILES. THE TROUBLE LIGHT WOULD COME ON FROM TIME TO TIME AND DEALER WOULD TURN IT OFF. A FEW DAYS AGO, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAYS I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAVE DONE NO TRAILER TOWING OR ANY OTHER UNUSUAL USES OF THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THE 157,000 MILES HAVE BEEN OVER THE ROAD OR IN TOWN. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD AIRBAG RECALL WORK ON MY CAR. ALL OF A SUDDEN, 2 DAYS AGO MY DOORS UNLOCKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I RELOCKED THEM AND A FEW MINUTES LATER THEY UNLOCKED AGAIN. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING. I AM THINKING THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL WORK THAT WAS DONE ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THESE OCCURRENCES. I SPOKE TO HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER THAT DID THE RECALL WORK TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. I DON'T THINK THIS IS FAIR. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. YOUR SYSTEM FORCED ME TO PUT IN AN ACCIDENT DATE TO BE ABLE TO SEND YOU THE COMPLAINT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ROLLED ACROSS THE ROAD AND COLLIDED WITH A FENCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,112.

I PAID $9,998.48 FOR MY ODYSSEY. I BOUGHT IT USED. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THE MAINTENANCE WAS UP TO DATE AND THEY SHOWED ME THE PAPER WORK INDICATING THAT AS WELL. I ALSO TOOK THE VAN TO A SHOP TO BE SURE THAT ALL THE MAINTENANCE WAS UP TO DATE. I BOUGHT A 5YR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE VAN AS WELL, JUST TO BE SURE THAT IF ANYTHING WAS TO HAPPEN I WOULD BE COVERED. I PUT LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON MY VAN WHEN IT LEFT ME SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY THREE KIDS IN THE VAN ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY VAN STARTED ACTING CRAZY. I WAS DRIVING AND THE RPMS WOULD GO FROM 2 TO 5 AND THE VAN WOULD SLOW DOWN. IT KEPT DOING THIS, WHEN SUDDENLY I WAS AT A FULL STOP. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND WAS PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE ONLY THING THAT MOVED WAS THE RPMS. THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL.I HAVE ONLY HAD MY VAN FOR 2.5 YEARS. I KEEP ALL THE MAINTENANCE UP TO DATE AND TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VAN. NOW THIS VAN THAT I PAID DEARLY FOR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WILL NOT MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WARRANTY COMPANY THAT I PURCHASED MY WARRANTY THROUGH IS NOW SAYING THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF REPLACING MY TRANSMISSION. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THAT. NOW MY KIDS AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A RIDE SINCE BEFORE THANKSGIVING. WHAT KIND OF HELP CAN I GET WITH THIS? CAN ANYONE

LIKE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2003 ODYSSEY, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. LIKE OTHERS, OUR VAN HAS HAD THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE WORK PERFORMED (HONDA RECALL NUMBER 'P30' IN EARLY 2004, AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT), AND YET AT A RELATIVELY LOW 125,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN NOV '14, AS CONFIRMED BY A LOCAL HONDA DEALER. HONDA STATED THAT, SINCE THE PREVIOUS WORK HAS BEEN DONE UNDER RECALL, THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY MORE WORK TO BE PERFORMED. MY COMPLAINT IS THIS: IF SO MANY OTHER '02-'04 ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HONDA DID NOT PROPERLY CORRECT THEIR EARLIER MISTAKE, AND THEY SHOULD PONY UP TO FIX THE TRANSMISSIONS, OR REIMBURSE OWNERS WHO ALREADY HAD THE WORK PERFORMED. MY REQUEST: NHTSA PLACE PRESSURE ON AMERICAN HONDA TO DO THE RIGHT THING, AND OWN UP MONETARILY OR SERVICE-WISE TO MYSELF AND THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD/ARE HAVING/WILL HAVE THESE ISSUES. *JS

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. *MW THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE INTERLOCK RECALL, THE PROBLEM WOULD BE RESOLVED. HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. *JB

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT. THEN VEHICLE SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING OR TOOK A FEW SECONDS TO ENGAGE FROM A STARTING MOVEMENT FORWARD LEAVING A STOP LIGHT. AT IDLE THE TACHOMETER STARTED TO REV BETWEEN 1100-2000 RPMS AT STANDING IDLE IN PARK.THE SLIDING DOORS GET JAMMED STUCK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN FROM THE DASH CONTROLS. I KNOW THESE COULD CAUSE AND ACCIDENT AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET NY CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE VIA THE SLIDING POWER SIDE DOORS.VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 12-12-2014. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. I WENT TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHTS FROM HIGH BEAMS TO LOW BEAMS. ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. THE LEVER ON THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STUCK. I PUSHED IT FORWARD FORCEFULLY AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. I COULD NOT GET ISSUES TO REPEAT ITSELF. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AT 65 MPH AND I HAD TO KEEP CYCLING THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL THE TRANS CAUGHT ON AT 40 MPH AND THIS WENT ON UNTIL I BROUGHT IT HOME. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

AT LOWER SPEEDS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT REENGAGE UNLESS YOU PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE. UNFORTUNATELY THIS HAPPENS DURING PERIODS FROM COMPLETELY STOPPED THRU 2ND GEAR. ONCE PAST 2ND GEAR SHIFTING PATTERNS ARE ALWAYS NORMAL. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR, YET THE TRANSMISSION STILL CONTINUES TO OPERATE, (IE..NOT COMPLETELY FAILED YET) I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY PARTICULAR MODEL (RECALL# 12V-573) HOWEVER MY DEALER SAYS THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. I FEEL SINCE THIS IS A DAILY DRIVER, THAT THE MALFUNCTION OF TRANSMISSION WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT HAPPENS DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION. I BELIEVE THAT IF THIS WAS NOT A DEFECT, THEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE COMPLETELY FAILED LONG AGO. I MERELY THINK HONDA SHOULD MAKE CORRECTIONS AS STATED IN THEIR RECALL NOTICES. *TR

MY 03 HONDA ODYSSEY IS EQUIPPED WITH BOTH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND FAULTY AIRBAGS MANUFACTURED BY TAKATA. I REQUESTED AIRBAG REPLACEMENT THROUGH A HONDA DEALER TWO MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD REPEATEDLY THEY WERE ORDERED, BUT I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MORE WEEKS. AS A OWNER WHO HAS FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND AIRBAG, I HAVE A HIGHER RISK TO BE KILLED OR INJURED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL WITHOUT WARNING AND RESULT IN CLASH, AND THE AIRBAGS COULD BE DEPLOYED AND KILL OR INJURED MYSELF AND FAMILY MEMBER. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! I CALL FOR IMMEDIATELY ACTION FROM HONDA TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT? *TR

I AM AN ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 03 ODYSSEY. PERFECT MAINTENANCE RECORD. CAREFULLY DRIVING AND NEVER TOW ANYTHING. TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND LOCK UP AROUND 93K MILES WITHOUT WARNING. CRASH ALMOST OCCURRED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY TWICE. HAVE TWO DEALER CHECKED UP AND BOTH SAID NEED A REPLACEMENT. CALL HONDA AND GOT VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. HONDA DENIED RESPONSIBILITY, BUT OFFERED 25% REPLACEMENT COST. 02-04 ODYSSEY HAD TRANSMISSION RECALL IN 04. MY VAN WAS OVER 20K AND ONLY GOT AN OIL INJET KITS INSTALLED. I BELIEVED THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY BEEN DAMAGED AT THAT TIME. THE RECALL IS A SCAM FROM HONDA TO CHEAT, TO DELAY THE PROBLEM AND TO SAVE COST. EVERYONE KNOWS AN OIL INJET KITS COSTS A FRACTION OF A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS IS THE SAME KIND OF SCAM AS ANOTHER JAPANESE PRODUCT, TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. MY VAN ALSO EQUIPPED WITH TAKATA FAULTY AIRBAGS. I REQUESTED AIRBAG REPLACEMENT THROUGH A HONDA DEALER TWO MONTHS AGO AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE ORDERED, BUT HAVE TO WAIT. DRIVING A HONDA PRODUCT EVERYDAY TO SENT MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND AIRBAGS, I HAVE HIGHER RISK TO BE KILLED OR INJURED BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL AND RESULT IN CLASH, AND THE AIRBAG COULD DEPLOY AND KILL OR INJURED MYSELF AND DAUGHTER. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! I JUST GOT MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH $3K OUT OF MY POCKETS. I SENT THE INVOICE TO HONDA CEO 3 TIMES TO REQUEST FULL IMBURSEMENT AND WAS DENIED.HONDA HAS THE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS FAULTY PRODUCTS. I REQUEST A FULL IN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION AND THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 168,000.

I OWNED 2003 ODYSSEY FOR YEARS (APPROX. 125,000 M NOW), LAST WEEK I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 70 MPH BACK HOME THEN SUDDENLY WITH NO POWER, LUCKILY, THE CAR AFTER ME WAS TOO FAR TO HIT ME. I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTART AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME IN 20~30 MPH. CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT HONDA DID RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE BUT STILL CAN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. REALLY LOVE THIS VAN, STILL DEBATING HOW TO DO IT, NOT DARE TO DRIVE NOW. HONDA SHOULD TAKE THE FULL RESPONSIBILITY TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE, NO MATTER WHO OWNS THE VAN. NOT JUST CARE ABOUT THE COMPANY?S PROFITS AND IGNORE THE TRAGEDY WILL BE HAPPENED ANYTIME. AS A CAR MANUFACTURER AND HUMANITY, HONDA SHOULD KNOW LIVE IS PRICELESS. *TR

DEAR SIR/MADAM: I AM AN ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY, AND ONE OF MANY VICTIMS OF HONDA TRANSMISSION FAULTY TRANSMISSION. A TRANSMISSION RECALL WAS PERFORMED AT 20, 398 MILES IN JULY 2004. IN THAT RECALL, HONDA STATED THAT CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS CAN RESULT IN HEAT BUILD-UP BETWEEN THE COUNTER SHAFT AND SECONDARY SHAFT SECOND GEARS. THAT COULD LEAD TO GEAR TOOTH CHIPPING OR, IN VERY RARE CASES, GEAR BREAKAGE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD LOCK UP, INCREASING THE CHANCE OF A CRASH. INSTEAD OF REPLACE THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ON MY ODYSSEY, A HONDA DEALER INSTALLED A LINE JET KIT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL LUBRICATION TO THE GEARS. IN JUNE 2014, MY VAN STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 93,128 MILES. THE SECOND GEAR IS VERY HARD TO SHIFT AND SLIPPED EVEN LOCKED FROM TIME TO TIME. IN TWO OF THE CASES, A REAR COLLISION ALMOST OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. AFTER I CONSULTED TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED. I PAID $3,000 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. HONDA DENIED THE RESPONSIBILITY, BUT ONLY OFFERED 25% FOR THE TOTAL REPLACEMENT COST OF NEARLY $6,000. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND THE 2004 TRANSMISSION RECALL DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I REQUEST N.H.T.S.A. INVESTIGATE WHETHER HONDA'S 2004 RECALL IS A TEMPORARY FIX OF THE PROBLEM AND STILL PUT THE DRIVER AT RISK, AND WHETHER THE RECALL HAVE SOLV

I CONTACTED ONE HONDA DEALER FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE INFLATER AND ORDERED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE INFLATER FOR MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE ORDER FOR FRONT PASSENGER SIDE INFLATER, DEALER RESPONDED "DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY QUESTION". I TRIED TO CONTACT WWW.HONDA.COM. I COULD NOT LOCATE ANY EMAIL CONTACT. I AM HARD-OF-HEARING AND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TWITTER. I DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH TWITTER. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL TELEPHONE NUMBER LISTED ON THEIR WEB SITE. I HAD READ THAT 2003 HONDA ODYSSEYS MAY CONTAIN TAKADA AIR BAG INFLATORS MANUFACTURED WITH INADEQUATE MANUFACTURING CONTROL. THE CURRENT RECALL (AS STATED ON THEIR WEB SITE) IS LIMITED TO 13 U.S. STATES AND TERRITORIES THAT "CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCE HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY". THE LIST DOES NOT INCLUDE INDIANA. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE WAS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS INSTALLED IN MY VAN EVEN WITH THE VIN. THE REPRESENTATIVE SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT A DEALER. I THEN CONTACTED A DEALER IN CLARKSVILLE INDIANA AND ASKED IF THEY COULD TELL ME WHAT AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE BASED UPON THE VIN. THE DEALER SAID NO. HONDA & THE DEALER BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE PART TRACEABILITY IN THEIR VEHICLES. WITHOUT SUCH TRACEABILITY TO THE VIN, NO RECALL THAT IS CONDUCTED COULD ENSURE THAT ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. LETTING THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINE HOW A RECALL IS CONDUCTED IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC. MANUFACTURER NEGOTIATION AND BARGAINING WITH NHTSA CONCERNING RECALLS IS ALSO AN INADEQUATE PROCESS. IT LACKS TRANSPARENCY THAT THE PUBLIC DESERVES IN MATTERS THAT ARE RELATED TO LIFE AND DEATH SAFETY ISSUES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ALREADY CONDUCTED AIR BAG RECALL WORK ON MANY HONDA ODYSSEY VANS IN INDIANA (10 - 20). THIS CONTRADICTS THE SCOPE OF THE CURRENT RECALL LISTED ON HONDA'S WEB SITE AND CALLS INTO QUESTION THE HONESTY OF T

THE DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG UNDER THE RECALL. THEY CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I NOW HAVE TWO ISSUES. SINCE THE MANUFACTURER TAKATA IS KNOWN TO HAVE LIED ABOUT DEFECTS, CAN I BE CERTAIN THAT THE REPLACEMENT THAT WAS INSTALLED IS SAFE? SINCE THERE IS A RECALL, 13V-132, NOW ON RECORD, WAS I LIED TO ABOUT THE NEED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG? THIS RECALL; SPEAKS OF PASSENGER AIR BAG PROBLEMS. WHAT CORRECTIVE ACTION IS PLANNED TO ASSURE THAT THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS ARE SAFE AND WHEN WILL THEY BE AVAILABLE? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL FUMES EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CAP WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000.
