2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

I WAS RUNNING ERRANDS AND COULD FELL THE CAR START TO PULL AND FELT THEY CALLED AND SAID THAT THE VALVE STEM WAS BAD ON THIS TIRE. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEM AND THE TIRE WASN'T DAMAGED. THE COST TO REPLACE VALVE STEM WAS $23.31. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE TIRE WENT FLAT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO A SAFE PLACE, BUT DAMAGED THE TIRE BY DRIVING ON IT. THE LOCAL POLICE CHANGED THE TIRE FOR ME. I TOOK THE TIRE BACK TO WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY SAID THE VALVE STEM WAS BAD. I HAD TO BUY A NEW TIRE AT FULL PRICE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NO LONGER LATCH. IT STARTED OUT A MONTH AGO SPRINGING OPEN AS IT WAS ABOUT TO SHUT ALL THE WAY. THEN WE HAD TO HELP IT, BY PUSHING AS IT SHUT TO GET IT TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY. AFTER A FEW WEEKS, THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER AND WE HAD TO HIP CHECK IT TO GET IT TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY AND LOCK DOWN. NOW EVEN THAT WILL NOT WORK AND IT WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. WE WILL CONSULT OUR MECHANIC. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY W/ DVD SYSTEM. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30-60 MIN THE WIRELESS AUDIO AND THE AUDIO JACKS WILL EMIT A LOUD WHINING SOUND. *TR

14 MONTHS OLD SIGMA REGENT TIRE (PURCHASED NOV '06). STRANGE VIBRATION SINCE THE DAY THEY WERE PURCHASED. NTB CHECKED TIRES AND BALANCE - NO PROBLEM. THERE IS A BUBBLE WITH SMALL SLITS NEAR THE RIM. NO RIM DAMAGE. NO FAILURE, CAUGHT IT AND REMOVED THE TIRE. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. NTB SAID IT WAS MY PROBLEM, NO THEIRS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 20-40 MPH. THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE DRIVING UPHILL SEVERAL TIMES AS WELL. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE BECAUSE IT WAS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO WAIT UNTIL THE FAILURE WORSENED OR UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT HER VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH OPENED HER DOOR AT THE SAME TIME (SHE WITH THE HANDLE AND I WITH THE BUTTON ON THE KEY). THE DOOR OPENED JUST A LITTLE AND THEN STOPPED. I ASKED HER TO OPEN THE DOOR AND SHE SAID, "NO, YOU OPEN IT." SHE BEGAN TO GET IN THE CAR (THROUGH THE SMALL OPENING IN THE DOOR) AND I PRESSED THE BUTTON. THE DOOR CLOSED ON HER - IT DID NOT STOP. IT PUSHED HARD ENOUGH AGAINST HER TO CAUSE A HUGE MARK ON HER ARM. IT IS COMPLETELY BLACK AND BLUE AND SHE SCREAMED OUT AND CRIED LOUDLY FROM THE PAIN. THE DOOR AFTER CLOSING ON HER REOPENED. IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER CLOSED ON HER. THE SENSOR SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT IT. - WE TOOK PICTURES OF HER ARM IF YOU NEED THEM. I HAVE ALSO BEEN CAUGHT IN THE DOOR A COUPLE TIMES (TWICE) WHEN I WAS BUCKLING MY KIDS IN AND ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED THE BUTTON. THE DOOR DIDN'T STOP EVEN THOUGH I WAS IN THE DOORWAY. I LOOKED ONLINE TO SUBMIT A COMPLAINT TO HONDA, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A WAY TO DO IT ONLINE. I HAVE NOT YET COMPLAINED DIRECTLY TO THEM. LET ME KNOW IF I SHOULD. *TR

THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V420000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP); HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT INDICATE THE RESULTS. ON OCTOBER 18, 2007, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS ENGINE FAILURE AND AIR CONDITIONER WIRES WERE HANGING, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY BE RELATED TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO CLOSE WHILE SHE WAS PLACING HER CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT. SHE BECAME STUCK AND THE DOOR CONTINUED TO CLOSE ON HER. THE CONTACT WAS LITERALLY PUSHING THE DOOR IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP IT FROM CLOSING. SHE STATED THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SENSOR FOR THE DOOR, IT IS NOT WORKING. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 43,000.

BOUGHT THE HONDA IN MAY 2004. NOTICED A SLIGHT HESITATION AT TIMES WHEN ENGINE WAS NOT WARMED UP. I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT IN MY NEW CAR SURVEY FORM AND EACH TIME IT WAS SERVICED. ON 8-5-05 THEY REPLACED EGR VALVE, AS IT SOMETIMES WOULD CAUSE THIS FAILURE. ON 2-5-07 IT TOTALLY QUIT AS I WAS STARTING A TURN INTO PEP BOYS PARKING LOT, IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN COMING OUT I WOULD HAVE RUN INTO THEM AS I HAD NO STEERING NOR BRAKES. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND SAID I WANTED IT FIXED BEFORE I WOULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I HAD MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE LEMON LAW AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT HONDA OF AMERICA, WHICH I DID. END RESULT WAS DEALER TOOK CAR FOR THREE DAYS IN MARCH 2007. THEY TESTED IT BUT COULD NOT MAKE IT FAIL SO NOTHING WAS DONE. BOTH HONDA OF AMERICA AND THE DEALER GAVE ME THEIR FINAL COMMENT: IF THEY CAN'T SEE A FAILURE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR IT. *AK
