2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

MY VAN CONTINUES TO STALL. THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS REPLACED IN LATE SEPTEMBER, BUT THE VAN CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WILL START, RUN FOR 1-3 SECONDS, AND SHUT DOWN. IT WILL TAKE ANYWHERE FROM ONE TRY ONE HOUR WORTH OF TRIES TO GET IT TO START UP AGAIN. THE VAN HAS LEFT MY FAMILY STRANDED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER, AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I DON'T BELIEVE A VEHICLE WITH 7000 MILES NORMALLY DOES NOT START, AND CAN TAKE UP TO ONE HOUR TO START. THEY ALSO HAVE TOLD ME THAT I AM FLOODING THE VEHICLE-EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT TOUCHING THE FOOTFEET AND HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN A FUEL INJECTED VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE TO THE POINT THAT WE DO NOT EVEN WANT THE VEHICLE, BUT OUR DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY. I READ A COMPLAINT THAT A CUSTOMER FILED STATING METAL WAS SENT THROUGHOUT HER VEHICLES FUEL LINES. HOW CAN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK TO SEE IF THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUALLY TELLS ME THEY CAN DO NOTHING UNLESS THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAS YET TO HAPPEN. I AM VERY TIRED OF BEING STRANDED BY MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *AK

UPON TAKING THE GROCERIES OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE CHILD HIT A BUTTON WHICH ENGAGED THE AUTOMATIC DOOR, CAUSING THE CHILD TO BECOME TRAPPED. HOWEVER, IT TOOK SOME TIME BEFORE THE CHILD COULD BE RELEASED FROM THE DOOR. *AK

CONSUMER STATED AFTER RECALL REPAIRS ON THE FUEL PUMP WAS PERFORMED VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. DEALER STATED THAT WAS NORMAL. *AK

MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS LURCHED AND LOSS FORWARD POWER/MOTION FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY AT SPEED BETWEEN 40-60 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING THE FIRST 7500 MILES. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON DURING THESE EVENTS. I HAVE CHECKED RECALLS AND OTHER OWNERS AND FOUND SIMILAR COMMENTS. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF PASSING OR ADDITIONAL POWER IS NEEDED WHILE DRIVING UP INCLINE. HAVE HAD FUEL PUMP RECALL ITEM CORRECTED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE! *JB

THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR SENSOR FAILED TO WORK. THIS CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO BE LOCKED IN THE DOOR. CONSUMER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.*AK

RECALL CAMPAIGN: FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR, VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK AT TIMES. *BF VEHICLE WAS ONLY A FEW WEEKS OLD AND WOULD NOT CRANK. RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 04V420000. *TC

SOLD AN UNSAFE RECALL NEW VEHICLE BASED ON HONDA TSB. *BF THE CONSUMER WAS NOT INFORMED OF RECALL 04V-176 UNTIL AFTER HE WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THE CONSUMER REQUEST A FULL REFUND. *NM

MULTIPLE FAILURES. BRAKES PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION, ROUGH IDLE & ENGINE SURGING, STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS AND OTHERS. *BF THE AUTOMATIC DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN OR CLOSE, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE BRAKE PEDAL SHUTTERED, THE BRAKES WOULD CATCH WITHOUT BEING APPLIED. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE STEERING COLUMN CONTROL SWITCH HAD A SHORT, HOWEVER THE NEXT DAY THE HORN HONKED AND THERE WAS AN ODD NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED MULTIPLE TIMES. *JB

WHEN DRIVING AROUND 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN LIKE SOMEONE PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND HELD IT TO THE FLOOR. THIS CONSTANT ACCELERATION ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AS WE WERE FORCED TO WEAVE AROUND IN TRAFFIC UNTIL WE COULD PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE ACCELERATION CONTINUED AND WE FOUGHT THE VAN WITH THE BRAKES ON UNTIL WE COULD SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE IN PARK, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT REDLINE LEVELS. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN A COUPLE OF TIMES AS IT CONTINUED TO BE REVVING AT RED LINE LEVELS. EVENTUALLY AFTER SLAMMING ON THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES, THE ENGINE IDLED AT NORMAL LEVELS. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE IN A LIGHT TRAFFIC AND COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IN MODERATE OR HEAVY TRAFFIC - ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE 4 KIDS. *JB

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE(04V420000) FOR THE FUEL PUMP NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. *JB
