THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION: SWITCH).

THERE WAS A RECALL BACK ON 4/25/00 FOR THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL # WAS 00V119000. I'M HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AGAIN WITH THE DOOR NOT CLOSING ALL THE WAY. I CALLED HENNESSEY HONDA IN WOODSTOCK, GA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT RECALL ON RECORD. THEN THEY WENT ON TO SAY THAT THEY WON'T FIX IT AGAIN. I CHECKED THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE RECALLS AND DON'T SEE WHERE THIS WAS DONE. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR WHEN IT WAS ALREADY DETERMINED THAT IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFECT? IS THERE A TIME LIMIT ON HOW LONG HONDA WILL FIX THIS REPAIR FOR FREE? *KB

IGNITION SWITCH (3150-S0X-A01) FAILED AND STALLED ENGINE WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES. SWITCH FELT HOT AT TIME OF FAILURES. CONTACTS INSIDE WERE BURNED AT TIME OF FAILURE. SWITCH HAD BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE AT ABOUT 73,000 MILES FOR SAME PROBLEM. HONDA SAYS THIS VEHICLE NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL ALTHOUGH OTHERS OF THIS VINTAGE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM WERE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT A HONDA ODYSSEY YEAR 1999. THE TRANSMISSION JUST BROKE AT ONLY 91,000 MILES. AFTER READING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES, I FELT I SHOULD EXPRESS MY FRUSTRATION IN THIS MATTER. ONE THING I WILL TELL YOU, I WILL NEVER BUY A HONDA CAR AGAIN. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE ARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA JUST TO BE DENIED ANY KIND OF HELP. HONDA SHOULD STAND FOR THEIR CRAPPY TRANSMISSIONS ON THE ODYSSEY AND OFFER SOME HELP. I'VE ALWAYS OWNED TOYOTA CARS AND ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THEY VERY RELIABLE CARS. IF YOUR PLANNING ON BUYING A HONDA, PLEASE THINK ABOUT TWICE! *TR
