HONDA 08L14-E09-100 Complaints

THE KEY DOES NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION. WE HAVE TO WIGGLE IT OR MESS WITH IT MANY TIMES TO GET IT TO TURN, SOMETIMES IT TAKES TOO LONG FOR US TO GET TO IT TURN, WHICH CAUSES MANY INCONVENIENCES FOR US. THE DEALER WANTS $700-$900 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT OR MISTAKE IN THE ENGINEERING DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. AND WE KNOW THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDAS. PLEASE RECALL PILOTS FOR THIS VERY INCONVENIENT DEFECT. IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL QUICK, NOT BEING ABLE TO START YOUR CAR BECAUSE THE KEY WON'T TURN WILL BE CATASTROPHIC. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF QUICKLY BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

I DRIVE A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SLIDING DOORS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, TRAPPING MY 12 MONTH GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE CAR SEAT. I HAVE HAD "ROLLERS" REPLACED. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR DOOR LATCH MOTOR WHICH WAS NOT AN ISSUE UNTIL THEIR "REPAIR". IT APPEARS FROM WEBSITES THAT THIS IS A GLOBAL ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR THE SAFETY PROBLEM. THE ALARMS GO OFF WHILE IN MOTION INDICATING THE DOOR IS OPEN. WHEN THE DOORS ARE NON-FUNCTIONAL THE PASSENGERS CAN BE TRAPPED REQUIRING CRAWLING OVER SEATS TO GET OUT OR TO RETRIEVE INFANTS/TODDLERS. *TR

REF: NHTSA CAMPAIGN 02V120000 FOR 1998 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE IGNITION SWITCH IN MY CAR WAS REPLACED IN THE RECALL OF 2002. I WAS NOT HAVING PROBLEMS THEN. HOWEVER, LAST FALL (2009) AND THIS WINTER (2010) I WAS EXPERIENCING SUDDEN STALLS AND IN SOME CASES DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN ACCELERATING AT INTERSECTIONS, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ETC. MY HONDA DEALER, IN MARCH 2010, COULD NOT ID THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE SAME MONTH TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS DISTRIBUTOR RELATED. THEY REPLACED THAT PART. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. I RETURNED IT RIGHT AWAY AND THEY DID THE RESEARCH TO ID THE PROBLEM AS THE IGNITION SWITCH. IT IS NOW MAY 12 AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO INSTANCES OF SUDDEN STALLS. PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS DUE TO AN OPEN CIRCUIT IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG INFLATER AS WELL AS A THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH. I HAD THESE FIXED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON MY WAY HOME. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED AGAIN AND COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND SENT ME HOME AFTER RESETTING THE LIGHT. THE LIGHT CAME ON THE NEXT DAY THAT I DROVE MY CAR AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC FEE. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY MODEL, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER YEARS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. P.S. THE MODEL NUMBER FOR THE EQUIPMENT IS NOT IN THE DROPDOWN MENU, BUT ON MY PAPERWORK IT HAS 06788-SDA-A82. ONCE I STARTED WRITING 0 IN THE FIELD IT AUTOMATICALLY PICKED SOMETHING ELSE BEGINNING WITH A 0. *TR

I TOOK MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC TO A DEALER ON NOVEMBER 28, 2008 FOR A RECALL, AND WHEN IT WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE FUEL MILEAGE CHANGED DRASTICALLY, GOING FROM 38 MPG PRIOR TO THAT DAY, TO 29MPG. THE RECALL ISSUE WAS NOT RELATED TO THIS. I CHECK MY MILEAGE WITH EVERY FILL-UP, SO THE CHANGE WAS APPARENT FROM THAT DAY. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA, AND THOUGH I WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE SITUATION ASSESSED, NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED. MY DAUGHTER HAD A 2007 CIVIC, AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE SAME DEALER, O'DONNELL HONDA OF ELLICOTT CITY, MARYLAND. FRANKLY, I KNOW I'VE BEEN CHEATED OUT OF MY FUEL MILEAGE BECAUSE OF HONDA'S MARKETING DECISIONS, RELATED TO ALIGNING THEIR PRODUCTS.

THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AND AFTER A REPAIR IN 5/2007, HONDA REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND ANY WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. *TR

DRIVING IN TYPICAL CITY ENVIRONMENT AND THE POWER STEERING BECAME NON-RESPONSIVE. HONDA DEALERSHIP THEN REPLACED THE POWER-STEERING PUMP RESERVOIR (THIS IS THE 3RD RESERVOIR DURING THE LIFETIME OF THE VAN). ORIGINAL POWER STEERING PUMP RESERVOIR INSTALLED AT BUILD DATE, 2ND INSTALLED IN DEC 2006. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE - GEARS WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN A 2003 HONDA ACCORD. GEARS SHIFTED AND REVVED BACK UP THEN SHOT BACK DOWN. ALMOST GOT KILLED BY TRACTOR TRAILER THAT WAS BEHIND ME. I WAS ON THORNTON RD. WHICH IS A TWO LANE MAJOR ROADWAY, WHICH IS HEAVILY TRAVELED BY LARGE TRUCKS FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES. THE AREA OF ROADWAY IS VERY DARK. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND WHAT I JUST EXPERIENCED IN MY 2003 HONDA ACCORD SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IF I DIDN'T THINK QUICKLY. THANK GOD MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. HONDA NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR BADLY INJURED. A TEENAGER WITH MINIMAL DRIVING SKILLS WOULD HAVE PANICKED AND MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN WHAT TO DO. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. HONDA NOW HAS A REPUTATION FOR THEIR VEHICLES HAVING SEVERED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THEY CONTINUE TO OVERLOOK THE PROBLEM AS IF IT IS NOT THERE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE NOW? TOYOTA SHOULD BE THE EXAMPLE! ALSO, THERE WAS NO WARNING TO THIS! NO ORANGE OR RED INDICATOR LIGHT THAT SOMETHING WAS IN NEED OF BEING LOOKED AT. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG HERE! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON SPEED OF 55 MPH AND THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STOP ABRUPTLY . I TOOK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT IS A VIT TRANSMISSION MANUFACTURER PROBLEM ON THE SATURN 2004 VUE. THIS IS VERY DANGER SITUATION BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING. *TR
