2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

I BROUGHT MY HONDA ODYSSEY INTO THE KUHN HONDA DEALERSHIP (TAMPA, FL) FOR RECALL WITH REGARD TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM NHTSA 14V-351 AND 14V-353. THEY MADE THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENTS OF THE AIRBAGS, SRS MODIFICATION AND SHIFT INTERLOCK. AFTER THIS MODIFICATION, THE AIR BAG SRS LIGHT LIT UP AND THEY TOLD ME I NEED A NEW SRS UNIT. THEY STATED THEY COULD SELL ME A USED ONE FOR $350-400 PLUS INSTALLATION. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT WANT A USED SRS UNIT AND WOULD PURCHASE A NEW ONE FROM HONDA. I HAD THEM INSTALL THE NEW SRS UNIT ON DECEMBER 17, 2014. IN MARCH, 2014, I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA RECALL 15V-045 STATING THAT HONDA SRS UNITS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND MY HONDA DEALERSHIP WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH ME WHEN THEY RECEIVED A NEW SRS UNIT FOR MY VEHICLE. ON JUNE 10, 2015, KUHN HONDA REPLACED MY SRS UNIT A SECOND TIME BUT I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT THIS TIME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR IT THE FIRST TIME BACK IN DECEMBER 2014 BUT THEY STATED IF I DID NOT THE CAR WOULD NOT BE SAFE. I HAVE A COMPLETE COMPILATION OF RECALLS AND DEALERSHIP RECEIPTS/DOCUMENTATION THAT I HAVE SAVED AND CAN EMAIL IF NECESSARY.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE PASSENGER DOOR START, IT TO BEEP TO MY WIFES SURPRISE THE POWER DOOR NEVER LATCHED, SHE HAD TO PULL OVER AND BUMP THE DOOR TO MAKE IT LATCH. WHEN SHE CAME HOME I CHECKED THE DOOR AND CLEARLY SEE THE DOOR APPEAR AS CLOSED BUT IT DOES NOT SHUT AND IF YOU DON'T BUMP THE DOOR IT DOES NOT LATCH AT ALL. EVIDENTLY THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE BUT SHE NEVER HAD IT TO ADJURE BEFORE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS AND IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. WE HAD IT LOOKED AT ONCE AND THEY SAID IT IS FIXED BUT HERE WE GO AGAIN.

2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SYSTEM RECALL NOTICE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WITHIN A MONTH OF HAVING THE FIRST RECALL WORK COMPLETED (REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE INFLATOR), THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

THE DRIVE (D) LIGHT ON THE GEAR SHIFT STARTED BLINKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND SHIFTED TO PARK, BUT THE LIGHT CONTINUED TO BLINK. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THE BLINKING HAD STOPPED. AMERICAN HONDA HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS MAY BE RELATED TO A 2004 TRANSMISSION-RELATED RECALL, AND THAT IF SO HONDA WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. HOWEVER, IT MUST BE DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER, AND HONDA DEALERS CHARGE A $115 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. BOTH THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA HAVE TOLD ME THEY CANNOT WAIVE THE FEE. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT THE FEE SHOULD BE WAIVED AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THE ONLY PURPOSE OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST IS TO DETERMINE WHETHER HONDA WILL PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IF THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, WE DO NOT INTEND TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE. *TR
