1999 HONDA ODYSSEY RECALL FOR IGNITION SWITCH. CONSUMER STATES THAT DEALER INSTALLED ANOTHER DEFECTIVE SWITCH. MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH HAD MELTED SOLDER JOINTS. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHICH WERE THE SAME PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER STATED THE RECALL HAD BEEN SATISFIED PREVIOUSLY. THE CONSUMER STATED THE SWITCH THAT WAS REPLACED IN AUGUST 2002 WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE.

EVERY WINTER SINCE WE PURCHASED OUR 1999 ODYSSEY BRAND NEW, THE POWER SLIDING DOORS WOULD FREEZE AND LOCK UP. IT WILL NOT WORK. SINCE OUR ODYSSEY IS OUT OF MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, THE COST TO REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE - A DEALER ESTIMATED $2000 JUST TO FIX ONE DOOR. SO WE DECIDED NOT TO FIX THE SLIDING POWER DOORS AND JUST OPEN THEM MANUALLY INSTEAD. EVEN IN MANUAL MODE, THEY STILL FREEZE DURING WINTER. THE DANGEROUS PART IS THAT THEY OPEN BY ITSELF EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT THIS MAY BE A SERIAL DEFECT. *TR

PROBLEM WITH POWER SLIDING DOOR. ON OUR 1999 EX ODYSSEY, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR CLOSES BUT NOT QUITE ALL THE WAY, IT WILL NOT "ENGAGE", OR "CATCH". THEREFORE, THE VAN THINKS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN (OPEN DOOR LIGHT IS ON, BUZZES CONTINUALLY WHEN PUT INTO GEAR, AND INTERIOR LIGHTS STAY ON). BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM MY SON GOT HURT BECAUSE THE DOOR DIDN'T STOP WHEN HE WAS GETTING INTO THE VAN SO THE DOOR TRAPPED HIS ARM. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL SO I HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $1,000 CANADIAN TO GET IT FIX. THE HONDA DEALER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I WOULD LIKE TO FILE THIS PROBLEM IN COURT IF IT IS POSSIBLE. *JB

DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING REAR DOOR DOES NOT LATCH PROPERLY. IT APPEARS TO LATCH, SO WE START TO DRIVE, THEN THE CAR'S BUZZER GOES OFF, SIGNALING THE DOOR IS AJAR. I HAVE TO SWITCH OFF THE DOOR BUTTON ON THE DASH TO STOP THE BUZZER. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE DOOR MAY NOT BE SAFELY LATCHED. WE HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN... WE HAVE TRIED TO RE-SET THE CAR BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, AND DISCONNECTING THE FUSE, BUT IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HONDA DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A SAFETY BULLETIN OUT. *JB

I OWN A PRE-OWNED 1999 ODYSSEY EX. WE HAVE RECENTLY HAD SEVERAL THINGS GO OUT ON IT. IT CURRENTLY HAS NO DASH LIGHTS AND THE DRIVERS?? SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE. I HAD THE ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED ON 3/28/2007 BECAUSE OF A RECALL. AFTER THIS WAS DONE, THE DASH LIGHTS QUIT WORKING, WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE TWO ARE RELATED. MAYBE INADVERTENTLY A WIRE TO THE DASH LIGHTS WAS LOOSENED WHEN REPLACING THE ELECTRICAL PORTION OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS TO SEE IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTING PANEL HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT EITHER THE WIRING WAS LOOSENED IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE IGNITION SWITCH OR THE RECALLED INSTRUMENT LIGHT PANEL HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. I BELIEVE THE DEALER SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSIS THIS WITHOUT CHARGING ME, BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION. THE TWO TIMES I HAVE CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE 800 NUMBER, THE PERSONS WHO HAVE HELPED ME HAVE BEEN VERY RUDE AND UNACCOMMODATING. *JB I AM VERY SURPRISED AT THE POOR LEVEL OF CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER AND THE 800-CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE. I ASSOCIATE HONDA WITH QUALITY AND SUPERIORITY IN ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR BUSINESS, BUT I CANNOT SAY THAT ANYMORE. I WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BUY A HONDA AS A NEW VEHICLE WHEN I WOULD NEED ONE, BUT SINCE THIS EXPERIENCE, I WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER OTHER CARMAKERS. IN REFERENCE TO THE SLIDING DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY RECALL, MY ODYSSEY DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE VIN #, BUT IT DOES FALL UNDER THE YEAR, 1999. I THINK IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY MY 1999 ODYSSEY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER 1999 ODYSSEYS THAT DO HAVE QUALIFYING VIN'S FOR THE SLIDING DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY PROBLEM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WHOLE PROCESS OF THE HANDLING OF MY VEHICLES ISSUES. *JB

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY EX HOME ON THE FREEWAY. WE WERE GOING HOME AFTER HAVING DINNER. AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON,WE HEARD A NOISE AND SOON AFTER ALL THE DASH LIGHTS WENT ON FOLLOWED BY STIFF STEERING WHEEL, AND THEN THE HONDA COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OFF RAMP OFF THE FREEWAY. WE TRIED TO RESTART BUT THE HONDA WOULD NOT RESTART.I HAD THE HONDA ODYSSEY TOWED TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC.HE LOOKED AT THE ODYSSEY AND INFORMED ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS SHOT.THE HONDA HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN EVER SINCE,IT IS PARKED AND NON OPERATIONAL.I DO HAVE A HONDA INVOICE THAT STATES THAT THEY PERFORMED SAFETY RECALL (IGNITION SWITCH) REPAIR ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY INVOICE DATE OF 8/30/2002.*AK

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS OVER AND OVER WITH THE SLIDING POWER DOORS ON MY 99 HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS IS A HAZARD. THERE ARE TIMES I CANNOT SHUT THE DOOR AND HAVE TO CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE DOOR AJAR, AND I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE BACK. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE DOOR WON'T OPEN, IF THERE WAS A FIRE OR ACCIDENT WE WOULD BE STUCK INSIDE THE VEHICLE UNTIL WE COULD CLIMB OUT SOMEHOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HONDA DOES NOTHING. *NM

1999 HONDA ODYSSEY'S SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AND CLOSE PROPERLY. THEREFORE IN ORDER TO DRIVE WITHOUT INSIDE LIGHTS FLASHING ON AND OFF AND BUZZER SOUNDING CONTINUOUSLY, WE HAVE TO TURN OFF AUTOMATIC DOORS, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR BACK SEAT PASSENGERS THAT MIGHT NEED TO EXIT THE VAN IN AN EMERGENCY AND ARE UNABLE TO WITH THE DOORS TURNED OFF. *JB

I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO REPORT THREE ONGOING PROBLEMS AND ONE NEW PROBLEM, ALL RELATED TO THE REAR SLIDING DOOR LATCHES, LOCKS AND HANDLES: 1. THE DOOR LATCH ON THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR OF OUR 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY LX BECOMES LOOSE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND REAR DOOR-OPEN INDICATOR TO FLASH ON INTERMITTENTLY. 2. THE REAR SLIDING DOORS OFTEN ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VAN HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR THESE TWO PROBLEMS AT NO COST ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS BY A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (TRICKETT HONDA). 3. SOMETIMES THE LOCKS ON THE SLIDING DOORS DON'T ENGAGE WHEN THE AUTOMATIC LOCK BUTTON IS PUSHED. 4. THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT RETRACT BACK INTO THE INDENTED SLOT AND NO LONGER OPENS THE DOOR. *NM

WE BOUGHT A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM CARMAX AND THE FIRST WEEK THAT WE GOT THE CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE TOOK IT TO CARMAX. ACCORDING TO THEM THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THEN WHEN IT CAME BACK ON FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THEY APPARENTLY FIXED IT AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. NOW WE DIDN'T HAVE WARRANTY AND OUR VAN WAS ACTING UP. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GIVE A JERK WHEN GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THE EGR PORTS WERE CLOGGED AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS MESSED UP FROM DAY 1. WE TOOK IT TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT WAS. ABOUT A 4 MONTHS LATER IT GOT REALLY BAD AND WE HAD TO GET OUR TRANSMISSION REBUILT, THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM STARTED ALSO (THE CAR ENGINE WOULD STALL RANDOMLY AND IT WE WOULD HAVE TO STOP THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY AND RESTART THE CAR GOING AT 60 MPH+), NOW WE SPENT 2500 BUCKS TO GET EVERYTHING FIXED. BUT NOW OUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS BAD. THE IN DASH LIGHTS DON'T WORK AND THE BACK LIGHTS DON'T WORK. THE DOORS JUST DIED FOR SOME REASON. ONE SECOND THE HANDLES WOULD WORK AND THE NEXT SECOND THE HANDLES ARE DEAD FROM INSIDE. OUR ALARM SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK EITHER BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRIC PROBLEM. ALL WE WANT IS OUR CAR TO BE FIXED. WE'VE BEEN LIED TO BY CARMAX AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP OVER AND OVER. CAN YOU GUYS JUST HELP US FIX OUR CAR? *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE WOULD NOT LATCH. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL, # 99V158000, REGARDING THE LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. UPDATED 10/25/2006 - ON ONE OCCASION THE DOOR OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. *NM

I OWN A 1999 HOONDA ODYSSEY - REAR SLIDING DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED UNDER A NHTSA RECALL IN 2000 (CAMPAIGN 99V158000). THE LATCHES AND SLIDE RAILS ON BOTH DOORS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. I AM BEING TOLD BY LOCAL HONDA DEALER THAT SINCE THE LATCHES WERE REPAIRED ONCE, WE ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR REPAIRS UNDER ORIGINAL RECALL - IS THIS TRUE? *NM

THE SLIDING DOORS ON BOTH SIDES OF MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY LX MINIVAN ARE SEALED SHUT AND WILL NOT SLIDE OPEN AFTER A CAR WASH, RAIN, OR IN FREEZING WEATHER. IT CAN ONLY BE OPENED WHEN THE SLIDING DOORS ARE DRY AGAIN OR DEFROSTED . I FEEL THIS CAN LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF REAR PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOORS TO LEAVE THE MINIVAN IN ANY EMERGENCY SITUATION. *NM

CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING DOOR ON HIS 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY. *NM WITHIN 5 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE THE DOOR WOULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL. 5 MONTHS LATER, THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT AND THE BUZZER CONTINUED TO STAY ON. THE DEALER ONLY LUBED THE TRACK AND CLEANED THE CONTACTS. AFTER ANOTHER 5 MONTHS, THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE PROPERLY, THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE POWER DOOR LATCH FOR THE SECOND TIME ON THE DRIVERS SLIDING DOOR AND THE REPLACEMENT LAST FOR 2 YEARS. ON SEPT 30, 2002 THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND THE DEALER REPLACED PASSENGER LATCH AND CLOSER MOTOR WHICH WAS THE SECOND TIME FOR THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN IN DEC 2004, BUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND ON MAY 26, 2005 FOR THE SIXTH TIME. *JB *NM

THE DRIVE SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL LATCH INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE A BUZZER LETS THE DRIVER KNOW THE DOORS WERE NOT CLOSED. OTHER TIMES THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO REPAIR. THE CONSUMER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE SLIDING DOOR, NHTSA 99V158000 OR 00V119000. *JB

BOTH MANUAL REAR SLIDING DOORS HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO OPEN SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE IN 1999. DEALER GREASED BOTH DOORS EVERY TIME THE CAR WAS SERVICED, BUT PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE LATCHES ON BOTH DOORS HAVE BROKEN AND NOW THE DOORS MUST BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THIS POSSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THE DOORS NEED TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN AN EMERGENCY. SLIDING REAR MANUAL DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD INDICATE ON THE DASH TO BE OPEN. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN CORNERING OR HITTING BUMPS. OVERHEAD LIGHT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF AND CRACKLING SOUND FROM BELOW STEERING WOULD BE HEARD. *JB

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY, [XXX], THAT I BOUGHT USED IN 2002. IT IS A HONDA CERTIFIED CAR. SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR HAS MALFUNCTIONED IN SPITE OF BEING SERVICED ABOUT 4 TIMES. THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ALARM GOES OFF. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, OPEN THE DOOR AND CLOSE IT AGAIN AND THEN IT'S OK. THE MOST RECENT TIME IT WAS SERVICED, THE COST WAS $600 AND SUPPOSEDLY ALL OF THE DOOR SENSORS ON THE FRAME AND THE DOOR WERE REPLACED. THAT WAS ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO. SINCE THEN THE ALARM SOUNDS LESS OFTEN HOWEVER, THE ALARM HAS GONE OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING THE CAR, THE DOOR HAS FAILED TO CLOSE AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, GET OUT AND PUSH THE DOOR AS IT WAS CLOSING AND SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I TRIED TO LOCK THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE, I HAD TO WALK BACK TO THE CAR, OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR BECAUSE THE ALARM INDICATOR SHOWED THE DOOR AJAR. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE ODYSSEY. LAST NIGHT I WAS A NEWS STORY THAT VEHICLES INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS ARE SOMETIMES AUCTIONED AND MOVE FROM DEALER TO DEALER AND THE PAPER HISTORY OF THE CAR IS CHANGED. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT A CAR THAT HAS BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAS ENDED UP ON A NEW CAR DEALERS LOT AND WAS SOLD AS CERTIFIED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AS I OFTEN HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN MY CAR IN CAR SEATS. IF IT IS FIXABLE, IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS MUCH EFFORT TO FIX. SINCE IT HAS TAKEN TRY AFTER TRY AND I STILL HAVE A MALFUNCTIONING DOOR I CAN ONLY THINK THAT MAYBE THE FRAME OF THE CAR IS DAMAGED. PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *LA *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DUE TO THE WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY SLIDING DOORS BEING DIFFICULT TO OPEN (SEE HONDA ODYSSEY TSB 91, 10/29/02), MY DOOR HANDLE BROKE IN THE PROCESS OF ATTEMPTING TO OPEN IT. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS A HIGH NUMBER OF ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH HANDLE BREAKAGE DUE TO THE STICKING DOOR PROBLEM. THE COMPONENT THAT BREAKS IS A SMALL, UNDERSTRENGTH PLASTIC COMPONENT INSIDE THE HANDLE. BECAUSE OF A BROKEN DOOR HANDLE, DURING AN EMERGENCY--AND AT OTHER TIMES--IT COULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND FREE BACK OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY IF THE INTERNAL CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS ALSO ENGAGED, BLOCKING ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE AS WELL. *JB

THE SLIDING DOORS ON OUR 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN HAVE BEEN HARD TO OPEN FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO. RECENTLY, I PULLED THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR - IT SNAPPED OFF AND IT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. WITH INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE SERVICE MANUAL, I CAREFULLY REMOVED THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL TO FIND A BROKEN LEVER INSIDE. I HAVE NOT INVESTIGATED HOW MUCH IT MAY COST TO REPAIR THIS BUT I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RECENT QUALITY OF HONDA PRODUCTS. OVER THE YEARS, WE HAVE OWNED 3 OTHER HONDAS WITH ONLY MINOR REPAIR ISSUES. THE ODYSSEY IS DEFINITELY NOT UP TO THE USUAL HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS. THE CONVENIENCE OF THE SIDE DOOR IS NOW TOTALLY USELESS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART MIGHT COST $300 OR MORE. WITH THIS OUTRAGEOUS PRICE, I AM WILLING TO SPEND MY OWN TIME TO LOCATE A USED REPLACEMENT MECHANISM. THE ACTUAL BROKEN PART IS A SMALL PLASTIC LEVER INSIDE THE DOOR HANDLE. FROM MY INVESTIGATION, THIS LITTLE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE SEPARATELY AND WILL WARRANT TO PURCHASE OF THE COMPLETE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR FAILURE REPORTS FROM MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS - IT'S TIME TO LET THEM KNOW HOW UNHAPPY WE ARE. *LA

SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF WHILE MANUALLY OPENING DOOR. PIN THAT HANDLE PIVOTS ON APPEARS TO BE MADE OF PLASTIC - PERHAPS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS USE? SLIDING DOOR NORMALLY WOULD OPEN AUTOMATICALLY BY MEANS OF AN ELECTRIC MOTOR. AUTOMATIC MEACHANISM HAD MALFUNCTIONED REQUIRING DOOR TO BE PULLED OPEN BY MANUAL MEANS. THIS DOOR OPENS WITH MUCH MORE RESISTANCE THAN A NORMALLY SLIDING DOOR, PROBABLY DUE TO THE MOTOR BEING ATTACHED. KNOWING THIS YET NOT HAVING MUCH EXPERIENCE OPENING IT THIS WAY, I GAVE THE DOOR A GOOD TUG. THERE APPEARS TO BE A FINE LINE BETWEEN PULLING HARD ENOUGH TO GET DOOR OPENED AND BREAKING HANDLE OFF! REPAIR COST $185

CONSUMER STATES THE VEHICLE HAS ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER SLIDING DOORS.*JB

BOTH SLIDING DOORS LATCHES FAILED TO ENGAGE (LOCK) THE DOOR. ONE OF THE LATCHES BROKE (DRIVER SIDE) AFTER REAPETED ATTEMPTS AT TRYING TO MAKE IT CLOSE. ON ONE OCCASION, THE INTERNAL LATCHING MECHANISM BROKE INSIDE THE DOOR AND ALMOST POKED A HOLE THROUGH THE OUTER DOOR WALL. THE LATCHES WHERE SUPPOSEDLY CHANGED ONCE DURING A RECALL BY HONDA ISSUED JULY 1999 WHICH THE DEALER PERFORMED. BUT THE LATCH FAILED AFTER RECALL WAS PERFORMED. APPARENTLY THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS POSSIBLE ONLY 1999 MODELS (FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION MODELS). AS WITH ANY REDESIGNED MODELS, HONDA HAS SOME PROBLEMS IT WILL NEED TO CORRECT. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, THE DEALER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE LATCHES AT NO COST TO ME. HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL DEBATING ON THE BODY WORK. WHEN THE LATCH/SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT CLOSE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL'S DOOR LAMP WARNS ABOUT IT AND A BUZZER SOUNDS. I ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR SEALS THAT COME OUT WHEN I BUMP THEM. *AK

I HAVE FOUND MANY INCIDENTS RELATED TO TRANSMISSION/DOOR LATCH FAILURES WITH 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY... TOO MANY TO BE A COINCIDENCE!*AK

THE TRACKS AND CONTACTS HAVE BEEN CLEANED, DOES NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*JB DUE TO THE CONSTANT BUZZING OF THE DOOR ALARM AS IF THE DOOR IS OPENED, CONSUMER RESULTED TO TURNING OFF THE AUTOMATIC DOOR FEATURE, BUT WHEN USING THE DOORS MANUALLY, THE DOORS ARE HARD TO OPEN. *TT

SLIDING DOOR GETS STUCK AND ON OCCASSION HAS OPENED BY ITSELF ONCE WHILE DRIVING.

IN NOVEMBER THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE SAME DOOR THEY WORKED ON WAS BEEPING CONTINUOUSLY (THE CHIME FOR THE DOOR NOT LATCHED), AND THAT THERE WAS 1 OCCURRENCE OF THE DOOR OPENING ON THE HIGHWAY 1FOOT ON IT'S OWN. THE DEALER LOOKED IT AND ADVISED IT HAD A BROKEN LATCH. OVER THE NEXT 2 WEEKS THEY WERE CONTACTED 2 TIMES FOR ME TO BE ADVISED IT WASN'T IN YET. 3 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST VISIT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID I COULD BRING IT IN ON FRIDAY 12/28. BY THIS TIME THE DOOR HAD OPENED FOR THE SECOND TIME ON IT'S OWN. THEY INITIALLY LOOKED AT THE DOOR AND ASKED WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM--THEY WERE AGAIN ADVISED OF THE PROBLEMS. THEY REPLACED THE DOOR LATCH AGAIN AT A DEDUCTIBLE COST OF 100. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THEY WORK ON THESE ALL OF THE TIME AND HE FELT THEY SHOULD GET A BETTER FIX SINCE IT IS SAFETY RELATED (MINI-VAN, DOORS OPENING ON OWN, CHILDREN--DIDN'T MIX). THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS A CANADIAN MODEL. VIN [XXX], I HAVE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NOTICE 00V119000 BUT WAS ADVISED MY VEHICLE DIDN'T "NEED" THAT DONE. IT DIDN'T FALL IN THE RECALL PROGRAM---BASED ON MY 2 PROBLEMS I FEEL IT SHOULD. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I MAY DO TO SEE THAT THIS IS FIXED PROPERLY. I AM THINKING OF SELLING THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM BUT CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE PASS THIS ONLY ANOTHER PERSON. THANK YOU.

THE LEFT AND RIGHT SLIDING DOORS OF MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY EX DO NOT REBOUND WHEN CONSISTANT PRESSURE IS APPLIED. IT TAKES VARIOUS LEVELS OF PRESSURE TO GET THE DOORS TO REBOUND WHILE CLOSING. AT TIMES , I FEEL THE PRESSURE TO REBOUND THESE DOORS ARE TOO MUCH FOR SMALL CHILDREN AND ELDERLY PEOPLE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO BOTH HONDA WINDWARD AND AMERICAN HONDA AND HAVE DOCUMENTS THAT CLAIM THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO REMEDY MY COMPLAINT. BOTH HONDA WINDWARD AND AMERICAN HONDA DO NOT CONSIDER MY DOORS A PROBLEM AND SAY THE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE ODYSSEY. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BY YOUR OFFICE. *AK
