2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

DURING THE SUMMER OF 2012 I WAS PARKED FACING THE SUN. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE SRS (AIR BAG WARNING) LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AS I DROVE THE 3 MILES TO MY HOME THE LIGHT STAYED ON. WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO TIMES. HONDA SERVICE COULD NOT FIND ANY CODE IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. AGAIN DURING THE SUMMER OF 2014 THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE. I THINK THIS SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATION MAY BE AN INDICATION THAT THE AIR BAG IS DEFECTIVE. I LIVE IN AND BOUGHT THE CAR IN VIRGINIA. THE RECENT TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL IS A REGIONAL RECALL AND DOES NOT INCLUDE VIRGINIA. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE FATALITIES CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT OCCURRED IN VIRGINIA IN DECEMBER. SO HOT AND HUMID WEATHER IS NOT THE ONLY CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEFECT. I BELIEVE MY HONDA ODYSSEY'S AIR BAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED COGGIN HONDA OF ORLANDO AT THE END OF FEBRUARY 2014. AT THE TIME THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE PARTS AS OF YET AND THAT THEY WILL CONTACT ME. IN JUNE I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME EXCUSE ADDING THAT THEY WERE RUNNING BEHIND. LAST WEEK, ON OCTOBER 7, 2014, I TOOK THE ODYSSEY IN FOR SOME REPAIRS AND ASKED ABOUT WHEN THEY WERE GOING TO FIX THE RECALL OF THE AIR BAGS ON THE VEHICLE AND ONCE AGAIN WERE GIVEN THE EXCUSE OF RUNNING BEHIND. AT THIS POINT I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO MAKE THIS COMPLAIN. THE DEALER HAS NOT SHOWED ME ANY INTEREST ON FIXING THE PROBLEM. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? ARE THEY WAITING TO SEE IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND HOPING THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL FUNCTION PROPERLY. *TR

OUR HONDA ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION FAILED UNDER VERY SCARY CIRCUMSTANCES---WITH MY WIFE AND DISABLED SON ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY. AS SHE TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE VAN'S ENGINE REVVED, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE----LEAVING THE VAN COASTING INTO TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, SHE WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY JUST BEFORE A VEHICLE THAT WAS APPROACHING FROM BEHIND WOULD HAVE MADE IMPACT. SHE AND MY SON WERE VERY LUCKY. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT EXHIBITING ANY KIND OF SHIFTING PROBLEMS. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW PROBLEM. *TR
