2005 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

WHILE STATIONARY, LIGHT APPEARS ON DASHBOARD INDICATING PROBLEM WITH PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE USING ANY METHOD. MESSAGE STAYS ON DASHBOARD PREVENTING ME FROM SEEING OTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGES UNTIL A RESET IS DONE, I RESET BY REMOVING A FUSE, TURNING THE KEY TWICE WITHOUT TURNING THE CAR ON AND PUTTING THE FUSE BACK IN. THAT'S A TEMPORARY FIX BECAUSE THE PROBLEM RETURNS AFTER OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR A COUPLE OF TIMES. MANY HONDA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO HONDA AND INDICATED ONLINE THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH INVOLVED COSTLY REPAIRS THAT SOMETIMES DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AND HAS HAPPENED TO ENOUGH OWNERS OF HONDA MINIVANS THAT A RECALL IS NECESSARY.

THE SLIDING DOORS ON BOTH SIDE OF MY ODESSEY VAN COULD NOT BE OPENED. THEY ALWAYS STUCK AND HARD TO OPEN. MY ODESSEY VAN'S LEFT SLIDING DOOR COULD NOT OPEN FOR YEARS. AND MY RIGHT SLIDING DOOR ALSO COULD NOT BE OPENED. ON 8/29/17, MY SON TRIED TO OPEN THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR THROUGH THE OUTSIDE AND IT FELL OFF/FELL DOWN AND INJURED MY SON ON HIS FEET THAT ENDED UP IN THE EMERGENCY HOSPITAL. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO ASK YOUR AGENCY TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE ON THIS MATTER AND FURTHER PROTECT OTHER CONSUMER FROM INJURY. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS PARKED ON THE PARKING LOT. IF THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD OR ON MOTION THEN IT WOULD BE MORE DANGEROUS AND CAUSE CAR ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT NOTICED STRONG FUEL FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE TANK, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V112000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 220,000.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON AND OFF. IT STARTED AUGUST 4, 2017 WHILE DRIVING HOME. MOST OF THE TIME ITS OFF. ITS BEEN ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK IT LIT ON AND AGAIN GOING HOME FROM WORK ITS ON.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR, SOMETIMES ERROR "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" IMMEDIATELY APPEAR ON THE FRONT SCREEN PANEL. SOMETIME NO ABOVE ERROR SHOWED AFTER STARTING THE CAR.

COMPLAINT - AIR BAGS & SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM TAKATA RECALL. MY HONDA VAN HAS THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ON. MOST DAYS, IT IS NOT LIT, BUT FOR INSTANCE, DRIVING TODAY, I GOT THE LIGHT. VAN HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS STILL THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT. AIRBAGS DON'T FAIL UNLESS IT IS FAULTY MANUFACTURER SUCH AS PART OF TAKATA RECALL. HONDA VAN RECALL IS LIMITED TO 2004 BUT I THINK 2005 CAN ALSO BE AFFECTED.ALSO ANTI THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM IS OUT OF CONTROL AND ANY TIME IS ACTIVATED.

3 WEEKS AGO MY FAMILY COMPLAINED THAT THEY SMELLED GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR, I LATER SMELLED IT ALSO. I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP HAS CRACKS ON THE TOP COVER AND THAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK. I LOOKED INTO IT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT FROM 2005 TO 2010 THERE WAS RECALLS ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THE TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BASED ON MY VIN. I STARTED THE CAR THIS PAST FRIDAY AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AND LEAKED OUT FUEL FROM THE BOTTOM. IT SEEMS I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE HONDA ODYSSEYS. WAS IT A MISTAKE MY VECHICLE WAS SKIPPED OUT ON THE RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL. MY HONDA VAN HAS THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ON. MOST DAYS, IT IS NOT LIT, BUT FOR INSTANCE, DRIVING TODAY, I GOT THE LIGHT. VAN HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS STILL THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT. AIRBAGS DON'T FAIL UNLESS IT IS FAULTY MANUFACTURER SUCH AS PART OF TAKATA RECALL. HONDA VAN RECALL IS LIMITED TO 2004 BUT I THINK 2005 CAN ALSO BE AFFECTED.

BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT ON THE MIDDLE OF OUR DRIVE ON I-95 N BACK FROM VA TO HOME IN NJ. WE WERE WITH FAMILY INCLUDING 12 YEAR OLD SON, WE HAD TO PULL THE VAN ON THE SHOULDER (BARELY ANY) . WE HAD TO CALL AAA TO GET OUR VAN TOWED TO NJ ABOUT 140 MILES. THE MECHANIC TELLS US THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILED AND THE COST WOULD BE AROUND $4000. OUR CONCERN IS THE SAFETY AND AMERICAN HONDA FAILED TO HELP US TO COVER THE COST OF TRANSMISSION ISSUE.
