MONOPOLY ON SERVICE TO VEHICLE WHERE LITTLE OTHER DEPENDENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE TIRE. DISCOUNT TIRE IS THE ONLY OTHER PROVIDER. HONDA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE ANY OTHER OPTIONAL TIRES FOR USE ON THEIR ODYSSEY. DISCOUNT TIRE PROPOSES A REPLACEMENT WITH A 18 INCH Z RATED TIRE THAT MIGHT LEAVE VEHICLE WITH A DASH WARNING THAT CANT BE TURNED OFF OR DISARMED. TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM ALSO IS NOT ACCURATE OR RELIABLE. NO RESTFULLY OPTIONS BY OWNER. WEATHER CHANGES SET OFF THE TIRE PRESSURE ALARM THAT CAN ONLY BE RESET BY DEALER. ONE OF THE PAX FEATURES WAS TO REPLACE A SPARE BECAUSE OF WEIGHT. A PAX TIRE IS 25 LBS MORE PER TIRE THAN A NORMAL TIRE THUS NULLIFYING ANY BENEFITS. COST IS A HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE PER TIRE AND RELIABILITY IS LESS. SERVICE ABILITY IS LESS. A DEALER THIS LAST TIME WAS UNABLE TO BREAK THE BEAD ON THE TIRE.

I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 60 MPH IN THE FAR LEFT LANE ON 490 W IN ROCHESTER NY ON SATURDAY MAY 12, 2007 WHEN I FELT THE ACCELERATOR PULLED AWAY FROM MY FOOT. THE CAR PROCEED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I LOOKED AT THE DASH TO SEE IF THE CRUISE-CONTROL HAD SOMEHOW COME ON BUT IT HAD NOT. I THEN TAPPED THE BRAKE TO SEE IF THE ACCELERATION WOULD BACK OFF. IT DID NOT AND I WAS NOW MOVING AT ABOUT 80 MPH WITH THE ENGINE REVVING OVER 5000 RPMS . I PROCEED TO APPLY THE BRAKE VERY HARD WITH ONE FEET AND THEN BOTH FEET TO PREVENT FROM DRIVING INTO THE BACK OF THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS LITERALLY STANDING ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET TO TRY TO NEGATE SOME OF THE SPEED. THE CAR WAS GOING OVER 90 MPH WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RODE AND DRIVE OFF THE ROAD. ONCE I GOT TO THE SHOULDER, I JAMMED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE FOR A PERIOD AS I CONTINUED SPEEDING DOWN THE SHOULDER. IT FINALLY STOPPED REVVING ,AND I WAS THEN ABLE TO STOP AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. MY HUSBAND REPORTED TO ME THAT A SIMILAR THING HAPPENED TO HIM LAST WEEK WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY.*AK THE FLAT BED DRIVER REPORTED TO THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE SPEEDOMETER READ 40 MPH WHEN HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ONTO THE FLAT BED, YET THE VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING THAT FAST.

WELL, THE PAX TIRES THAT ARE ON MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY ARE JUNK. FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE I CAN TELL YOU I HAVE TAKEN OUT A SMALL LOAN TO REPLACE 2 OF THE TIRES AND I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND I KEEP IT IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. THIS IS WHY I WAS SO SHOCKED TO HEAR I NEEDED NEW TIRES IN 1/2 THE TIME A NORMAL SET OF TIRES WOULD BE NEEDED. IT IS SHOCKING BUT I WAS TOLD THIS IS THE PRICE FOR SECURITY. HMMM, I THOUGHT THAT IS WHY I WAS SOLD THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ETC. WELL FROM WHAT I CAN TELL SOME ONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE TIRES. EITHER INCREASE THE QUALITY OF THE RUBBER, OR RECALL THEM AND GIVE USED REGULAR TIRES AND RIMS. THEY ARE JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE. TO ADD TO THIS MY VEHICLE HAS A SHAKE IN IT AND THE SHOP IS NOT SURE BUT THINK I NEED TO REPLACE THE OTHER TWO TIRE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. BUT I WAS TOLD NO PROMISES THAT WILL FIX THE SHAKE. THE SHAKE WAS NOT THERE UNTIL THE NEW TIRES WERE PUT ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured June 23, 2004, through September 4, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the fuel pump strainer cover may deteriorate allowing fuel to leak out.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Parts to permanently repair the affected vehicles are not currently available. Honda will notify owners with an interim letter during May 2014. A second notice was mailed to owners October 6, 2014 when the remedy became available. Any vehicles that are currently leaking from the fuel pump cover will get a replacement, original cover. All vehicles, including those receiving the interim repair, will get an improved cover when they are available. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. The recall numbers associated with this campaign are JD9 (inspection and/or preliminary part replacement) and JE0 (final parts replacement).
HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ODYSSEY AND ACURA RL VEHICLES. BRAKE FLUID CONTAINING POLYMERS IS USED THAT ACTS AS A LUBRICANT FOR CERTAIN BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IF REPLACEMENT BRAKE FLUID IS USED THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN SUCH POLYMERS, OR THAT CONTAINS ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS, A PART OF THE RUBBER SEAL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY BECOME DRY, AND THE SEAL MAY CURL DURING MOVEMENT OF THE PISTON. IF THIS OCCURS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID COULD SLOWLY LEAK FROM THE SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND OVERTIME A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: INJURY MAY RESULT FROM A POWER LIFTGATE CLOSING UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN A PERSON IS WITHIN THE CLOSING PATH OF THE LIFTGATE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE GAS LIFTGATE STRUTS AND REPLACE IF WITHIN THE RECALL POPULATION. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE CAMPAIGN BEGAN ON MARCH 26, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009.

ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, A COIL WIRE INSIDE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY MAY BREAK, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO LOSE POWER. IF THE FUEL PUMP BECOMES INOPERATIVE, THE ENGINE MAY NOT START.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE FUEL PUMP LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE COULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING, AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 2, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.
THE FRONTAL AIR BAG SYSTEM HAS TWO EXTERNAL IMPACT SENSORS. ON CERTAIN MINI VANS,SOME SENSORS WERE INSUFFICIENTLY SEALED DURING MANUFACTURING. IF WATER ENTERS A SENSOR, CORROSION CAN OCCUR. CORRODED SENSORS COULD SHORT CIRCUIT INTERNALLY. IF SENSORS FAIL, THE SRS WARNING LAMP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL TURN ON AND REMAIN ILLUMINATED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: FRONT IMPACT SENSOR FAILURE COULD CAUSE A DELAY IN, OR LOSS OF, FRONTAL AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, WHICH CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY IN A FRONTAL CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT IMPACT SENSORS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 30, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

Remedy: OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED BY TELEPHONE ON JANUARY 25, 2005, AND ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLES TOWED TO THEIR DEALERS AND HAVE THE REPAIRS PERFORMED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 25, 2005.
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) USES A SENSOR ON EACH WHEEL TO DETECT WHEEL SPEED. SOME SENSORS ON THE REAR WHEELS WERE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY, WHICH MEANS THE SENSOR MAY REPORT THE WRONG WHEEL SPEED TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE DRIVER COULD EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF BRAKE FORCE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. IF AN INCORRECT GAP IS DETECTED, THE SENSOR WILL BE REMOVED AND THE KNUCKLE CHECKED FOR CROSS THREADING DAMAGE. IF DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE KNUCKLE WILL BE REPLACED. IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE SENSOR WILL BE REINSTALLED CORRECTLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 12, 2004.

Honda will replace the liftgate struts in approximately 21,776 model year 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring vehicles equipped with power liftgates that were built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly on July 16, 2005 (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-055).Vehicles built after the change experience significantly lower failure rates.The recall will inform consumers of the dangers of the existing struts and provide the opportunity for vehicle owners to obtain new struts that are more robust.Based on Honda's action, the agency has decided to close the investigation.While Honda has not made a decision that the recalled vehicles contain a safety-related defect, in view of the recall, further use of the agency's resources does not appear to be warranted.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Additional information can be found in the attached Engineering Analysis Report.
