THE SLIDING DOORS ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2001 DO NOT STOP WHEN CLOSING AND A PERSON GETS IN THE WAY. IT IS WAY TOO DANGEROUS!*AK

CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER FINGER BECAME WEDGED IN THE HOLE IN THE MALE SECTION OF THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THE BUCKLE WAS CUT FROM THE VEHICLE AND CARRIED TO THE HOSPITAL FOR REMOVAL. THE CHILD SUFFERED TISSUE DAMAGE AND MUSCLES BRUISING.*AK

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR A ROUTINE GENERAL MAINTENANCE, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT ENGINE MOUNTS WORE OUT PREMATURELY.*AK

AFTER GETTING OUR 30000 MILES MAINTENANCE COMPLETED WHICH INCLUDED (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) AN OIL CHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WE STARTED NOTICING A HESITATION IN THE CAR WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED, IT TOOK LONGER THAN EXPECTED THUS I ASSUMED THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE THEM ASSESS THE SITUATION AND THEY FOUND THAT TWO OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. THE CAR ONLY HAS 34K MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS PREMATURE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN, THEREFORE, I FEEL IT NECESSARY TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY OF THIS PART (THE ENGINE MOUNTS).*AK

I OWN A 2001 HONDA ODESSEY. 2 WEEKS AGO WHILE DRIVING THE VAN BEGAN SHIFTING HARD UP AND DOWN. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AND I WENT TO TURN LEFT AND PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO GO BEFORE A CAR CAME AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD!! THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED SENDING US FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. I DID NOT WANT TO CHANCE ANYTHING HAPPENING AND TOOK IT RIGHT INTO A TRANSMISSION PLACE. THEY TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A NEW CAR AND WAS SUPPOSED TO BE "RELIABLE" . ALSO, I HAD ANOTHER CAR WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE EFFECTS WERE NOT SO SUDDEN AND FREIGHTENING! I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED WHEN I BEGAN TO RESEARCH MY PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. I WAS EVEN MORE UPSET WHEN I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL, ONLY A "GOODWILL" WARRANTY. THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULD NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CAR WAS INITALLY PURCHACED IN CANADA AND THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY. SHE PROCEDED TO TELL ME THAT THEY WILL ONLY FIX THE CAR IF THE NHTSA TELLS THEM THEY HAVE TO ISSUE A RECALL. I THOUGHT A HONDA WAS A HONDA. I AM EVEN MORE FRUSTRATED IN READING OTHER ACCOUNTS WHERE REPLACED AND REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

CONSUMER NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING DIFFERENT WHEN STARTING. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MANUFACTURER DOESN'T WANT TO HONOR WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS MADE OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. *LA *SC

AT 49,000 MILES THE FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS WERE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A ROARING NOISE IN THE FRONT END WHICH BECAME LOUDER AND LOUDER DAILY. THESE BEARINGS ARE SEALED AND SHOULD AT LEAST LAST FOR 100,000 MILES. THEY WERE REPLACED AND THE NOISE STOPPED.*AK
