• 12/31/2002· AIR BAGSCrash

  WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, A LAMP POST WAS HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE QUARER PANEL ABOVE THE TIRE. THE SPEED TRAVELED WAS 5 MPH AND THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PROBLEMS COMPLAINTS OF AIRBAGS NOT GOING OFF IN FRONTAL COLLISIONS, BUT A SIDE IMPACT AT 5 MPH CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO GO OFF, WHICH IN TURN ALSO TWISTED THE DASH BOARD AND BROKE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE ACTUAL CRASH ITSELF CAUSED LESS THEN $500 OF DAMAGE, IT IS THE AIRBAG, WINDSHIELD, AND DASH BOARD THAT CAUSED ALL OF THE DAMAGE.

  You listed this VIN as having an airbag recall repair pending. I setup an appointment at the dealer. They went through the motions of doing the replacement and gave me paperwork indicating they had serviced the recall, but I believe you had lied to me and they are lying to me about the recall. This VIN does not correspond to an airbag recall according to multiple other sources. I recently inspected the passenger airbag it definitely not new. That is what clued me to begin checking further. I don't believe they replaced the driver airbag either. In the mean time I had to take buses to and from the dealership, after work, at night, in the rain, in the middle of this Omicron Covid spike. You an the dealer endangered my health and I want to know why and who is responsible.

  NORMAL DRIVING OF MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY AND AT 107,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BUT CHARGED ME THE LABOR EVEN THOUGH THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES HAD EXPIRED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW I HAD A TRANSMISSION COOLER INSTALLED, WHICH I BELIEVE EXTENDED ITS LIFE. I BELIEVE HONDA HAS SURPRESSED A DRECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION AND IS PASSING THE INSTALLATION LABOR ON TO THE CONSUMER. THEREFORE, I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING.*AK

  THE HANDLE THAT IS THE "SHIFTER" FOR PUTTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO GEAR BROKE OFF! COMPLETELY CAME OFF THE STICK AND ALL THE PIECES INSIDE THE HAND HELD PIECE FELL OUT, LEAVING THE METAL ROD EXPOSED WHICH, THANK GOODNESS, I COULD PUSH IN AND STILL GET THE CAR IN GEAR. IT IS A 1999 HONDA ACCORD THAT ALSO HAS THE PROBLEM OF A PREVIOUS RECALL WHERE THE CAR WILL ROLL EVEN W/THE KEY TAKEN OUT. I LOVE MY HONDA BUT HAVING THE GEAR HANDLE COME OFF IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF I DRIVE IT IF IT WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW ME TO SHIFT IT. I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER?

  3 out of 4 doors have stopped opening from the outside. The locks still work properly and have no effect on the outside door handles. The doors still open just fine from the inside, except for the driver door. The driver door will not open at all, which is a major safety issue and should have been recalled, especially since the door handles are well known issue for Hondas. Although the car does have minor damages to the body, the door handles have not been affected at all by them. This seems to be an issue that lies inside the door panel itself.

  AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR AN EXTENDED TIME (GREATER THAN 30 MINUTES) IN HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES (100 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OR GREATER) THE VEHICLE EMITS A STRONG AND STRANGE SMELL, WHICH APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE SMELL GENERALLY DOES NOT PENETRATE INTO THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR, BUT IT IS STRONG ENOUGH THAT THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE PARKED IN A COVERED GARAGE BECAUSE THE SMELL WILL OVERWHELM THE ENCLOSED GARAGE WHEN THE GARAGE DOOR IS DOWN. OCCASIONALLY THE SMELL CAN PENETRATE BOTH THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE HOUSE. THE SMELL CAN BE INTENSE ENOUGH TO CAUSE HEADACHES, AND IT IS A POSSIBLE HEALTH HAZARD. THE SMELL DOES NOT AFFECT THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE. THIS SMELL IS NOT A ROTTEN SULPHUR SMELL FROM THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, NOR THE SWEET ODOR OF ETHYLENE GLYCOL FROM THE COOLANT. IT ALSO IS NOT THAT OF BURNING OIL OR OVERHEATED BRAKES. NO VISIBLE EMISSIONS ARE EMITTED FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE. PERHAPS THE SMELL IS EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE'S EMISSION CONTROLS (GASOLINE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM?). THE SMELL IS STRONG AND SHARP WITH A "CHEMICAL" ODOR (PERHAPS BENZENE?). *TR
