NHTSA RECALL 04V420000 SUBJECT: FUEL PUMP. NO PARTS AVAILABLE UNTIL JANUARY 25, 2005.*JB

I OWN A 2004 HONDA ODESSEY. I WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND OPENING THE PASSENGER DOOR, WHICH IS AUTOMATIC. MY 2 YEAR-OLD LEANED AGAINST THE OUTSIDE OF THE VAN AGAINST THE REAR PANEL AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE AUTOMATIC REAR DOOR WAS OPENING. SHE BECAME LODGED BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE VAN. THE REVERSE MECHANISM ON THE DOOR DID NOT OPERATE (OR DOESN'T EXIST) AND I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL THE DOOR OFF HER AND DISLODGE HER FROM BETWEEN THE DOOR AND VAN. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO HONDA AND THEY INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD 10 OTHER REPORTS THUS FAR. MY DAUGHTER DID NOT SUFFER A SERIOUS INJURY. HOWEVER, I FEEL THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SERIOUS INJURY TO A CHILD IN THIS MANNER. *AK

WHILE APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO REDUCE THE SPEED BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOWING DOWN VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED ABRUPTLY. I APPLIED MORE AND MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. VEHICLE WAS NOT STOPPING ANY FASTER. I DID NOT PUMP THE BRAKES SINCE ODYSSEY HAS ABS AND THEY DID NOT KICK IN THOUGH I APPLIED A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. *AK I COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR FASTER.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE LOSE SPEED AND STALLS. *TS THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO LUNGE FORWARD. THE PROBLEM WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. PLEASE REFER TO RECALL#04V176000. *SC *JB

A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE TRANSMISSION SECOND GEAR SET. CONSUMER STATED THAT THE DEALER WILL NOT HAVE THE REPAIR KIT UNTIL NOVEMBER 28,2004. *AK

DAILY MY 2004 ODYSSEY WILL STALL. THE ENGINE WILL START, RUN FOR ONE SECOND, THEN SHUT OFF. THIS WILL OCCUR FOR ONE MINUTE TO ONE HOUR. IT FIRST OCCURED WHEN THE VAN HAD THREE HUNDRED MILES ON ITS ODOMETER. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES, BUT THEY TELL ME IT CANNOT BE FIXED UNLESS IT ACTS UP AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT I AM PRESSING ON THE FOOTFEET AND FLOODING THE VAN. LASTLY, THEY TOLD ME TO HOLD THE KEY TWO SECONDS AFTER THE VAN STARTS-EVEN THOUGH THIS WILL WEAR OUT THE STARTER. NO DEATHS OR INJURIES HAVE OCCURED DUE TO THIS, JUST A RUINED VACATION AND MANY TIMES OF BEING STRANDED WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT WILL NOT START. IT HAS NEVER BEEN EXAMINED BY ANYONE AT A DEALERSHIP-THE SERVICE ADVISER WOULD ALWAYS SEND ME AWAY WITHOUT HAVING A TECHNICIAN LOOK AT IT. *AK

THE THROTTLE CABLE FAILED. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP WILL BE NOTIFIED. THE CAUSE WAS NOT DETERMINED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.

SLIDING DOOR ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OPENS BY ITS BY ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STANDING STILL. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED.*AK THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER THE 4TH TRY THE CONSUMER GOT THE DOOR TO CLOSE. PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENED. THE CONSUMER OPENED THE BACK DOOR AND THE SLIDING DOOR CLOSED BY ITSELF. *TC

AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR CLOSED ON CONSUMER'S 31/2 YEAR OLD CHILD'S RIGHT HAND. CHILD SUSTAINED CUTS AND BRUISES. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK
