2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

THE DRIVER SEAT BROKEN FOR NO REAZON, THE ALUMINIUN[ PART ,THE SEAT SUDDEN ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND IS NOT STABLE

I OWN HONDA ODESSY SINCE 09/ 2017. I REPLACED TIMING BELT WITH ONE YEAR WARRANTY, BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID NOT DO IT. 12/09/16 I TOOK MY HONDA ODESSY 2004 TO MANHATTAN HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL. I ASKED TO HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TO CHECK AND TELL ME WHAT IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE OR REPAIR. I KNEW THAT TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR HONDA ODESSY 2004 WAS OPEN AND TOLD THEM TO CHECK AND REPAIR IT IF IT IS NECESSARY, BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO IT THEY TOLD ME THAT MY HONDA HAS MANY ISSUES AND REPAIR ALL NECESSARY THINGS WILL COST ME $10000. THE FUEL PUMP, TIMING BELT, WHICH I ALREADY REPLACED, AND TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAS INCLUDED IN THE REPAIR LIST. LAST MONTH I HAD A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR. IT WAS LOOSING POWER AND STOPPING WHEN I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR TRAFFIC. IT OCCUR ON VERY DANGEROUS SPATS, LIKE EXITS FROM HGWAY, BROOKLYN BRIDGE ETC., I COULD START UP CAR IN 5 MINUTES AND IT WAS DRAWING WITH NO PROBLEMS THEN. IT WAS A FEW TIMES LIKE THIS AND THE LAST TIME I DROVE HOME AND COULDN'T START UP THE CAR NO MORE. I TOWED CAR TO REPAIR SHOP AND MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CAME HOME AND STARTED RESEARCH AND FOUND THE RECALL FOR HONDA ODESSY FUEL PUMP, FOR HONDA ODESSY THAT WAS BUILT ON AND AFTER 06/21/04 IS ON RECALL FOR FUEL PUMP REPAIR OR REPLACE. MY HONDA ODESSY WAS BUILT 06/2004 I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND CAR IS RUNNING VERY GOOD NOW AND I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN. BECAUSE I HAD THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AFTER MY CAR WAS ON RECALL, AND BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT FUEL PUMP REPLACE WAS INCLUDED IN RECALL, AND THEY KNEW THAT MY CAR HAS THIS PROBLEM AND DID NOT FIXED IT I AM HEREBY ASKING THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TO REIMBURSE MONEY THAT I SPENT ON FUEL PUMP REPAIR $653.03. I ALSO ASKING HONDA DEALERSHIP TO CHECK AGAIN A TRANSMISSION AND REPAIR IT, IF IT IS NECESSARY.

PAINT BEGAN PEELING SOMETIME BUT NOT NOTICEABLY UNTIL A YEAR AGO. WHEN SERVICED AT A HONDA DEALER, THEY SHRUGGED AND SAID THEY DIDN'T HANDLE PAINT. THE DAMAGE HAS INCREASED GREATLY (SEE PHOTOS) AND RUST IS BEGINNING TO BE VISIBLE. THE PAINT FLAKES OFF WHILE I DRIVE. I CANNOT SELL THE CAR IN THIS SHAPE. HONDA'S UNDERCOAT IS BLAMED IN RESEARCH I HAVE MADE. I HAVE ALWAYS TRUSTED HONDA, BUT AM ALARMED AND UNABLE TO BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. WANT TO SELL THIS CAR BACK TO HONDA FOR BLUE BOOK PRICE.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE A RECALL PERFORMED. THEY WERE TO REPLACE THE SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT REPLACED. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON. AFTER THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL MY SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE LIGHT HAS NEVER BEEN ON IN THE 10 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. SO AS IT TURNS OUT I TOOK A CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A RECALL PERFORMED AND THEY RETURNED A DEFECTIVE CAR TO ME. THEY REFUSE TO FIX WHATEVER THEY DID TO CAUSE THE SRS MALFUNCTION LIGHT TO COME ON AND STAY ON.

SRS LIGHT IS ON.DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND POSSIBLY MORE CHANGES THEREAFTER. ANYTHING RELATED TO SEAT BELTS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE PARKED, THE ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY REV TO OVER 5,000 RPMS. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000.

THE DRIVERS SEAT ALL OF A SUDDEN ROCKS BACK AND FORTH AND IS NOT STABLE. I REMOVED THE SIDE PANEL AND COULD SEE THE METAL BRACKET THAT IS RIVETED TO THE SEAT HOLDING FRAME BROKE - METAL ACTUALLY CRACKED ON IT. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PROBLEM STARTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE PARKED, THE AIR BAG MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE EYE AND ARM THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE OF AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BUMPERS RUSTING AWAY WITH NO WAY OF KNOWING. MY FAMILY RODE AROUND IN THIS CAR FOR MAYBE 2-3 YEARS WITH A BUMPER THAT HAD RUSTED SO BADLY IT WAS LITERALLY FALLING APART, BUT REMAINED INSIDE OF THE BUMPER COVER, SO WE DID NOT KNOW IT. FINALLY IT RUSTED SO BADLY THAT IT BEGAN TO LEAVE RUST STAINS ON THE DRIVEWAY AND I TRACED IT TO THIS PROBLEM. BY THIS TIME THE BUMPER WAS ALMOST GONE. IT PROBABLY PAST THE POINT OF PROVIDING ANY PROTECTION MAYBE 2 YEARS AGO. THIS CAR HAS A REAR FACING SEAT AND IS USED OFTEN. IT TERRIFIES ME TO KNOW A REAR END COLLISION AT PRACTICALLY ANY SPEED WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR WORSE THEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND PROBABLY IMPACTED THE FUEL TANK, AGAIN, AT FAR LOWER SPEEDS THAN IT WOULD NORMALLY. MY SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS. IN MY OPINION THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT ON ALL ODYSSEY'S. PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND THINKING THEY ARE PROTECTED AND PROBABLY AREN'T. A REAR COLLISION COULD RESULT IN DEATH DUE TO THE GAS TANK BEING LEFT UNPROTECTED AND REAR PASSENGERS EXPOSED TO SERIOUS INJURIES AT MUCH LOWER SPEEDS. I DO NOT LIVE IN AN AREA WITH LOTS OF SALT WATER OR SALTED ROADS, THERE IS NOT A RUST ISSUE ANYWHERE ELSE, THIS SEEMS TO BE ISOLATED TO JUST THE REAR BUMPER.

NHTSA TICKET #: 1068744 I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I TOOK MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY TO RUDOLPH HONDA IN EL PASO, TX TO CORRECT FOUR RECALLS. THE RECALLS WERE NOT CORRECTED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE NOW HAS ITS SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON ALONG WITH THE SIDE AIRBAG OFF AND PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR LIGHTS FLASHING.
