2002 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

I HAVE REVIVED A RECALL SEVETY WITH THE AIR BAGS AND TAKEN THE CAR TOW OCCASIONS TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT, THEY SAID EVERETING IS FINE, SAVETY LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE ASIDE BAGS. NOTHING HAS CHANGED, I DRIVE WITH MY FAMILY AND KIDS PLEASE DO SOMTHING ABOUTH IT. IS A USED CAR PURCHASED. IS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT.

IF I TURN OFF MY CAR, WHILE LEAVING THE SHIFT POSITION OUT OF PARK ( SUCH AS IN R, REVERSE) I CAN THEN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES AS THE CAR WILL ROLL IF THE PARKING BRAKE HAS ALSO NOT BEEN APPLIED.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. ON APPROXIMATELY 8/16 OR 8/17/2017, THE CLOCK DISPLAYED ON THE NAVIGATION SCREEN BECAME STUCK AT "0:00". I'M NOT SURE WHETHER THIS AFFECTS THE ACTUAL NAVIGATION FUNCTION, GPS SYSTEM, OR OTHER ELECTRICAL (OR NON-ELECTRICAL) COMPONENTS. I BELIEVE THE DVD-BASED NAVIGATION SYSTEM HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE WAS MANUFACTURED BY ALPINE FOR HONDA (AND MANY OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS). I HAVE UPDATED MY MAP/SOFTWARE DVD TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2002. I HAVE TURNED THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, REMOVED THE SOFTWARE/MAPS DVD AND REINSERTED IT, AND PERFORMED MANY OTHER ATTEMPTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM, ALL WITHOUT SUCCESS.

TAKATA RECALL: I BOUGHT A USED 2002 ODESSEY WITH 200,000 MILES ON IT. AND AFTER I GOT IT HOME I NOTICED THE SRS LIGHT BEING ON. I THOUGHT IT IS A SIMPLE LOOSE CONNECTION. BUT AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, IT SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS URGENT ATTENTION AND FIXING.

THE STEERING WHEEL ON OUR VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT, AND STAYED. WHEN WE ACCELERATE OR THE TRANSMISSION UP-SHIFTS, SUDDENT STEERING WHEEL ON OUR VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO GO STRAIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT TURNING THE WHEEL LEFT HAS NO EFFECT UNTIL THE VEHICLE SPEED EVENS OUT. THERE IS ALSO SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END THAT IS LOOSE AND IS VERY NOTICEABLE ON ROUGH ROADS OR ENTERING/EXITING PARKING LOTS.
