1999 HONDA ODYSSEY STALLS WHILE DRIVING. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH IS OVERHEATING WHICH IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL OUT. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED A SECOND RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED, BECAUSE THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT WAS INSTALLED UNDER RECALL WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE. *JB

TRANSMISSION STOPPED FUNCTIONING SEVERAL TIMES DURING A TRIP,CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION (HAD INSTANCES OF NEAR MISSES ON THE ROAD) CONTACTED HONDA MOTORS,TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ,BUT LABOR WAS CHARGED ($800.00) IT WAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE AND HONDA SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE IN ADDRESSING THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED ADVERSELY BY SAID DEFECT (SOME WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM THE MANUFACTURER). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE SLIDING DOOR LOCKS ARE FAILING. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE DRIVES OVER A BUMP, THE DOOR ALARM SOUNDS, WARNING THAT THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED. THE CONTACT HAS TO DEPRESS THE DOOR LOCK BUTTON LOCATED ON THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE DOORS LOCKED. THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V119000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH). THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,200.

1999 HONDA ODYSSEY AMONGST OTHER MODELS THAT USE THE ELECTRONIC SLIDING DOORS HAVE A PROBLEM THAT ALSO IS VERY DANGEROUS TO THE CONSUMER. THE SAFETY HAZARDS INCLUDE DOORS NOT BEING SECURED, HAVING TO DRIVE WITH DOOR AJAR AND SWITCH OFF SO BUZZER SHUTS OFF, SHOULD A PERSON BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK WILL BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. AND THE HONDA DEALERS REFUSE TO RECALL THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR. *TR

FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH CAUSES VEHICLE TO STALL. I CALLED HONDA ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THAT MY PARTICULAR 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS NOT ON A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

OUR FIRST COIL SPRING BROKE AT 46,751 MILES YR 2002 RT SIDE. THE SECOND ONE BROKE 97653 MILES LF SIDE 2005 LUCKILY MY WIFE AND SON WERE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VAN FELL DOWN RESULTING IN A TIRE AND SWAY BARS WHEEL SENSOR DAMAGE. THE THIRD COIL SPRING BROKE 123,000 MILES RT SIDE. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE STOPPED OR THE DEALER FOUND THE BROKEN SPRING. I HAVE THE CURRENT COIL SPRING AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ARE ONE HAS A COATING ON IT THE OTHER IS PAINTED. SAME SIZE DIA METAL. THESE FAILURE RATE IS EVIDENCE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COIL SPRINGS AND A GROWING TREND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!! *TR

EVERY WINTER SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR 1999 ODYSSEY BRAND NEW, THE POWER SLIDING DOORS WOULD FREEZE AND LOCK UP. IT WILL NOT WORK. SINCE OUR ODYSSEY IS OUT OF MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, THE COST TO REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE - A DEALER ESTIMATED $2000 JUST TO FIX ONE DOOR. SO WE DECIDED NOT TO FIX THE SLIDING POWER DOORS AND JUST OPEN THEM MANUALLY INSTEAD. EVEN IN MANUAL MODE, THEY STILL FREEZE DURING WINTER. THE DANGEROUS PART IS THAT THEY OPEN BY ITSELF EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT THIS MAY BE A SERIAL DEFECT. *TR

1999 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HONDA TOLD HIM THEY WOULD GIVE HIM A RE-MANUFACTURED UNIT. *KB

TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAUSED VEHICLE HALTED AND SURGED DURING TRAVEL, WHICH MAY CAUSE ACCIDENT. TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED IN 2003. NOW IT FAILS AGAIN IN 2007. THE LIFESPAN IS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD, DEALER SAID IT NEEDS REPLACED AFTER CHECKING IT ON COMPUTER. HE SAID HONDA HAD BEEN REPLACING SOME OF THESE IN THE 1999 ODYSSEY MODEL, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE MINE BECAUSE THE CAR HAS TOO MANY MILES. *TR
