AIR BAG CHECK LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. BEGAN WITH INTERMITTANT ON/OFF BUT NOW ON ALL THE TIME.

TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEED IAW SPEED LIMITS AND TRAFFIC FLOW, NOTICED SURGING (LIKE SLIPPING) FROM TRANSMISSION, NOTICED DRIVE INDICATOR BLINKING, ENGINE REVS SURGING WITH TRANSMISSION SURGES. I HOPE TO MAKE NEAREST SAFE AREA TO PULL OVER (REST PLAZA LESS THAN 7 MILES AWAY) GOT 4 MILES. HAD REDUCED SPEED TO RELIEVE STRESS ON TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE. SPEED CONTINUED TO REDUCE SUDDENLY TO BELOW 45 MPH BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO FIND SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER. TRANSMISION LOCKED INTO DRIVE POSITION COULD NOT SHIFT TO ANY GEAR. NO GRINDING SOUNDS WERE EVER HEARD. I WAS BY MYSELF BUT THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE. COULD LEAD TO DEATH FROM BEING HIT FROM REAR BY ANOTHER CAR OR TRUCK AS TRANSMISSION'S RAPID RATE OF DECELERATION CAUSE BY ITS FAILURE. LOOKED UP BLINKING TRANSMISSION INDICATOR AND DID NOT FIND ANY WARNING OR NOTIFICATION AS TO POSSIBLE CAUSE. FOUND OUT THAT HONDA ODESSESY'S TRANSMISSION HAS HISTORY OF CATISTROPHIC FAILURE IF NOT SERVICED EVERY 35K (VARIES ACCORDING TO COMPLAINT). AGAIN NO WQARNING OF THIS POSSIBLE EVENT MENTIONED IN OWNER'S MANUEL. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR USED I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM OR ITS SERVICE RECORD. I DID HAVE IT SERVICED SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT BUT AGAIN HAD NO WARNING. IRONICALLY, I'M AN AUTOMOTIVE RELIABILITY/SAFETY MANAGER BY PROFESSION.

WAS PARKED AT GROCERY STORE WHEN A CABLE SNAPPED ON OUR DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR. POWER WAS LOST TO THE DOOR AND UPON ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE MANUALLY THE DOOR FELL OFF AND COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY INJURED SOMEONE AS THE BACK OF THE DOORS CORNER HIT THE GROUND WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CRUSH IF NOT SEVER A FOOT. THIS LEFT OUR VEHICLE DISABLED AND LEFT US STRANDED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULDN'T CLOSE AFTER 25 MINUTES OF TRYING AND FINALLY GETTING IT CLOSED I HEADED HOME. ONLY TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND I CAN HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THE WINDOW IS DOWN YET IT'S NOT. ALL THE WINDOWS WHERE CLOSED AND THE AC WAS ON. THEN I SAW THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ON FOR THAT DOOR. THE DOOR HAD COME UNLATCHED ENOUGH DROP TO CHANGE THROUGH. I BOUGHT THIS VAN AND LOVED IT NOW I AM SERIOUSLY RECONSIDERING EVER BUYING ONE AGAIN. MY SISTER HAS THE 2006 AND SHE HAS HAD IT HAPPEN WITH BOTH DOOR ONE EVEN COMING OPEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GOING 40 MPH. MY OTHER SISTER ALSO HAS AN ODYSSEY THE 2003 AND SHE HAS ALSO HAS SAFETY ISSUES WITH HER POWER DOOR. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE TO ANYONE WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD AND NOW I'M HEARING MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY, SOMETIMES STAYS ON FOR DURATION OF THE DRIVE, SOMETIMES GOES OFF. THIS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT SINCE EARLY 2014. REPORTED THIS TO DEALER WHEN TAKATA RECALL HAPPENED. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND OFFERED TO DIAGNOSE AIR BAG LIGHT ISSUE FOR $90. I HAVE DECLINED THIS OFFER. IN LIGHT OF TAKATA RECALL, AND MY VEHICLE'S MAKE/MODEL IN RELATION, I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE.
