1999 Honda Odyssey

I WAS DRIVING ON A CROWDED EXPRESSWAY WHEN MY CAR SEIZED UP COMPLETELY DUE TO A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH PUT ME IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH THREE LARGE SEMI TRAILER TRUCKS IN FRONT OF ME, IN BACK OF ME, AND TO THE RIGHT OF ME ON A 3 LANE HIGHWAY. THE TRUCK BEHIND ME HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO BARELY SLOW DOWN BUT IT ALMOST CRASHED INTO ME. I TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHER LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR ONTO THE SHOULDER OF A SLIGHTLY UPHILL EXIT RAMP, NARROWLY ESCAPING SERIOUS INJURY. I WAS THEN ABLE TO VERY SLOWLY MOVE THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR WITH THE FLASHERS GOING, AND FORTUNATELY WAS CLOSE TO A SIDE STREET WHERE I PARKED THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. ALTHOUGH HONDA REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION FOR FREE UNDER THE AUSPICES OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BACK IN 2007, THE CAR HAS LOW MILEAGE FOR THE LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, THEY ARE REFUSING TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT COST OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS SUDDEN AND LITERALLY SEIZED UP THE CAR AND PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER. THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER TO HONDA. I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT NOT ONLY TO GET SATISFACTION FROM HONDA, BUT ALSO TO WARN OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN TO THEM, AND LET THEM KNOW THIS IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. *TR

FIRST, I'M JUST GUESSING ON THE DATE OF PURCHASE MADE TO PALM BAY HONDA IN PALM BAY, FLORIDA APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES NORTH OF WHERE I LIVE. THERE IS SEVERAL RECALLS NOT TAKEN CARE OF. I AM OWED FROM HONDA REIMBURSEMENT FROM CARETENDER'S AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WORKING SHOP FOR DOING THE WIREHARNESS RECALL WHEN MY VEHICLE JUST STOPPED ALTOGETHER PLUS THE CAR RENTAL (AFTER I HAD BEEN TO HONDA DEALERSHIP WITH THE RECALL TO BE DONE A WHILE BEFORE IT HAPPENED) OF WHICH LONG TIME AGO I WROTE CERTIFIED MAIL TO THE OWNER OF HONDA IN CALIFORNIA AND ALSO FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSIONERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.. TO THIS DATE, NO REFUND ISSUED TO ME. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE RECALLS LISTED BY YOU REGARDING LOCKS/LATCHES/ETC. OF WHICH I HAD PROBLEMS WITH SINCE THE VERY FIRST DAY I BOUGHT THE HONDA NEW IS THE REASON FOR APPROXIMATE INCIDENT DATE BEING BACK IN 1998 AND I'VE HAD ABOUT SEVEN DIFFERENT INVOICES FROM DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS SOME NOTED (NWD MEANING NO WORK DONE) WITH THE PROBLEMS STILL EXISTING TODAY. THE RECEIPTS MAY ALSO BE WITH YOU AND/OR THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSIONERS AND STILL UNRESOLVED TO THIS DATE. NOW, I JUST READ ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN HAVING WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT IS ON YOUR RECALL LIST AND NOTHING HAS BEEN MAILED TO ME REGARDING THIS RECALL TO BE GIVEN TO HONDA TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. WHY HASN'T IT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE NEW ISSUES OF THE AIR BAGS EXPLODING, AS INDICATED THROUGH U. S. SENATOR BILL NELSON'S WEB PAGE, INVOLVES MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY! FINALLY, I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND WHY DOES MY VIN NUMBER SHOW O RECALLS? *TR

1999 HONDA ODYSSEY. BOTH OF DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SLIDING DOORS WOULD NOT LATCH PROPERLY AND COULD NOT BE SECURED BECAUSE BOTH LATCHES BROKE OFF . THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR PLASTIC LATCH CRACKED AND BROKE, AND THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR BROKE OFF AND DETACHED. BOTH SLIDING DOORS CAN NOT BE SECURED.
