THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH A FEW FAILURES TO CLOSE COMPLETELY BUT EVENTUALLY IT DID CLOSE PROPERLY. HONDA SERVICE SAID IT REQUIRED A NEW MOTOR (COST $600 CDN), BUT MANAGED TO CLOSE THE DOOR MANUALLY AND SHOWED US HOW TO SHUT OFF THE "BEEPING". WE HAVE AVOIDED USING THAT DOOR, BUT THIS WEEKEND A FRIEND OPENED IT AND WE COULD NOT SHUT IT PROPERLY. WE HAD A 6-HOUR DRIVE HOME FROM THE COTTAGE. SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY HOME THE DOOR SLID OPEN WHEN MAKING A TURN. I MANAGED (FROM THE FRONT SEAT) TO PULL THE DOOR BACK TO ALMOST CLOSED. WE HAVE NOW TAKEN IT BACK TO HONDA -- THE COST TO FIX WILL BE ABOUT $600. FOR SAFETY REASONS, THERE SHOULD BE A MANUAL OVERRIDE TO KEEP THE DOORS CLOSED. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 OF THE HANDLES WHICH WERE AROUND $80-$90 EACH TIME BECAUSE THEY ARE PLASTIC AND KEEP ON BREAKING. THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BROKE AGAIN AND I HAVEN'T YET GOTTEN IT FIXED. *TR

MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS HAD TROUBLE (SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES) WITH ITS SLIDING POWER DOORS NOT LATCHING PROPERLY AND I'VE HAD SEVERAL REPAIRS ON THEM OVER THE 8 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. AS OF A FEW DAYS AGO, MY DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL USING THE POWER. I HAVE A BABY CARSEAT INSTALLED IN THE SEAT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT, SO I'VE HAD TO GET MY BABY IN AND OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS, AND I REALIZED THAT IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT OR FIRE IN MY CAR, THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET MY BABY OUT QUICKLY. IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR, I WOULD HAVE TO REACH INTO THE CAR FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR, SLIDE THE LOCKING MECHANISM INTO THE "UNLOCKED" POSITION, TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE SLIDING DOORS, AND THEN USE A LOT OF FORCE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR. AND SOMETIMES WHEN I HAVE TRIED THIS, THE LOCKING MECHANISM IMMEDIATELY SLIDES ITSELF BACK INTO THE "LOCKED" POSITION BEFORE I AM ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN WHILE MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE IN THE CAR, A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT WE HAVE HAD CONTINUAL "DESIGN FLAW" PROBLEMS WITH FROM VIRTUALLY THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT NEW. I HAD TO PAY CLOSE TO $535 TO GET THIS DOOR LATCH REPLACED!! AND AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CORP. IN TORRANCE REFUSED MY REQUEST FOR ANY ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER!! I DO NOT THINK A DOOR LATCH SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED, ON ANY CAR, AS THIS IS PART OF THE BASIC CAR CHASIS/FRAME AND SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. WE HAD NO CHOICE BECAUSE THIS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL AND MY WIFE HAD TO CRAWL IN/ACROSS FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE DOOR TO GET IN UNTIL WE COULD GET IT FIXED. *TR
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVAN. THE SLIDING DOORS MAY NOT LATCH PROPERLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AN IMPROPERLY LATCHED DOOR COULD OPEN UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, A DOOR COULD OPEN COMPLETELY. AN UNRESTRAINED REAR SEAT PASSENGER COULD FALL OUT OF AN OPEN DOOR OF A MOVING VEHICLE AND BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY ON ALL ODYSSEY MINVANS BUILT FROM DECEMBER 3, 1999 THROUGH DECEMBER 16, 1999. ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL ARE APPROXIMATELY 1,612 ODYSSEY MINIVANS THAT HAD THE LATCHES REPLACED UNDER RECALL 99V-158 OR UNDER WARRANTY, THAT MAY NEED TO HAVE THE LATCHES REPLACED AGAIN. OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES WILL BE NOTIFIED BY HONDA TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THEIR HONDA DEALER FOR INSPECTION OF THE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED LATCH ASSEMBLY. LATCHES WITH THE SUSPECT DATE CODE WILL BE REPLACED.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINI VANS. A WIRE HARNESS, LOCATED WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, COULD BE DAMAGED BY CONTACT WITH A METAL PIPE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A BLOWN FUSE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF A FUSE BLOWS, ENGINE POWER, OR OPERATION OF ANY OR ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS, CAN BE LOST, INCLUDING LIGHTS, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HORN, AND THE ANTI-LOCK FUNCTION OF THE BRAKES. A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER OR LIGHTING, OR A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OR ANTI-LOCK BRAKE FEATURE IN BAD WEATHER, COULD RESULT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A PROTECTIVE COVERING OVER THE WIRE HARNESS AND METAL PIPE TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM. IF ANY WIRES ARE DAMAGED, THE DEALER WILL MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, AND THEN INSTALL THE PROTECTIVE COVERING.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVANS. THE FRONT BODY/FRAME IS MISSING SPOT WELDS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE MISSING WELDS MIGHT AFFECT THE OCCUPANT PROTECTION PERFORMANCE IN A COLLISION.
Remedy: DEALERS INSPECTED ALL THE VEHICLES AND THEY WERE FOUND TO BE PROPERLY WELDED.
