I looked up the recall and my van has a lot of them I’m worried of driving home to California I’m in Phoenix so I hope the dealer will fix the recall when u put the year of the 2003 honda odyssey my vin switch to a different one on your site please help

The contact owned a 2003 Honda Odyssey. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 16V344000 (Air Bags), 15V320000 (Air Bags), and  15V045000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted.

Van has open recalls on driver and passenger side airbags. Van also has a defective driver front seat belt tensioner that Honda claims has a lifetime warranty, but Hendrick Honda of Bradenton FL refuses to perform the recalls or replace the defective seatbelt tensioner. Even after advising them that they are required by law to perform any open recalls and are not allowed to charge anything for said recalls, Service Writer "Tammy" was uncooperative and kept alluding to things like she couldn't guarantee we would not be charged up to $1500 for these repairs which honestly should ALL be recalls as they are life safety issues. Due to their refusal to perform even the NHTSA recalls even after being given the documentation of the required recall, we have to find another dealership and hope they will perform the recalls.

All recalls have been completed on this 2003 Honda Odyssey Van but every now and then the warning light for the supplemental restraint system comes on and will stay on for a long time. the next trip it will be fine. Just wondering if this is something to be concerned about. It is a car we keep at our beach house and only use on a limited basis but I need to know it is safe. I recently had vehicle scanned and had all old codes cleared. If the air bag situation is the cause of this I don't want to be driving it. East Coast Honda in Myrtle Beach, SC. (833-299-3248, 8756A US Highway 17 Bypass South, Myrtle Beach SC. 29588) has replaced the recalled airbags on 2 different recalls. Thank you for your assistance. [XXX].

The contact owned a 2003 Honda Odyssey. The contact received an unknown air bag recall notification and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The VIN was not available.

WE DISPOSED OF THE VEHICLE AND YET STILL GET MESSAGES FROM HONDA. THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD AS SCRAP. PLEASE ADVISE HONDA TO CEASE AND DESIST ALL FURTHER CONTACT/NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THE RECALL(S). WE HAVE NOTIFIED THEM MANY TIMES YET THEY PERSIST. THIS IS A DISCREDIT TO THE RECALL SYSTEM WHEN OBVIOUSLY FALSE AND ERRONEOUS MESSAGES ARE PERSISTENTLY SENT, IN ERROR. THIS CAUSES THE USER TO DISREGARD POTENTIALLY SERIOUS INFORMATION. HONDA MUST HAVE A METHOD OF ACCOUNTABILITY ADDED TO THEIR SYSTEM TO ALLLOW THE REMOVAL FROM THEIR RECALL DATABASE OF A VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN SOLD/TRANSFERRED/DESTROYED. HONDA HAS AN 'F' RATING WITH THE BBB ON THIS ISSUE. HONDA APPARENTLY DOES NOT TAKE RECALLS SERIOUSLY.

YELLOW SRS WARNING LIGHT COME ON WHEN DRIVING ON A ROUGH ROAD. THIS TELLS ME THAT AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT MAY NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS ISSUE STARTED SINCE 2009. SECOND ISSUE IS THAT FRONT BRAKES VIBRATE SO MUCH. I HAD FULL BRAKE SERVICE AND RESURFACE DISC BUT IT ONLY STOP THIS PROBLEM FOR COUPLE THOUSAND MILES THEN VIBRATION COMES BACK WHEN BRAKING. HIGH SPEED BRAKING CAUSE EVEN MORE VIBRATION. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: BASICALLY I HAVE A HUGE ISSUE REPLACING RECALL ITEMS BECAUSE I LIVE IN A REMOTE COMMUNITY WITH ONLY FERRY ACCESS. THE FERRY CROSSING REQUIRES 6 HOURS EACH WAY AND A 60 MILE DRIVE TO ANCHORAGE ONCE WE REACH THE MAINLAND. THE COST IS $460 RT FOR THE FERRY AND 2 DAYS OF PAY, A HOTEL ROOM, FUEL, FOOD AND OVERTIME FOR MY EMPLOYEE WHO TAKES IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I'M ASKING IF THERE IS A WAY TO ALLOW OUR LOCAL MECHANIC TO DO THESE RECALLS??? I HAVE A CAR RENTAL WITH AT LEAST 12 OF THESE RECALLS OUTSTANDING. IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $10,000 TO GET MY "FREE" RECALLS DONE. I WORRY ABOUT MY LIABILITY FOR RENTING THESE VEHICLES OUT TO THE PUBLIC. I WOULD LIKE SOME SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE AS TO HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM.

I HEARD ON THE NEWS TODAY AND ALSO FOUND OUT THAT I'M ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REPAIR AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, OR THAT A TECHNICIAN COULD COME TO ME. I ALSO HAVE RECEIVED TWO CARDS IN THE MAIL, AND I OWN TWO OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VANS, ONE THAT SHOWS UP ON THE RECALL AND ONE THAT DOESN'T. AS PER CBS NEWS " U.S. SAFETY REGULATORS ARE DEMANDING THAT AUTOMAKERS AND TAKATA CORP. EXPAND NATIONWIDE A RECALL OF VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAGS EQUIPPED WITH INFLATORS THAT CAN ERUPT AND SEND METAL FRAGMENTS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. "

TAKATA AIRBAGS - I NEVER RECEIVED PAPERWORK FROM HONDA TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS SERVICED AT A DEALERSHIP. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WON'T REPAIR WITHOUT PAPERWORK.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR NHTSA RECALL 16V-344 IN JUNE OF 2016. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT WAIKEM HONDA IN MASSILLON OHIO TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE. THIS APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR THE MORNING OF JULY 9TH, 2016. AFTER I MADE THE 40 + MILE DRIVE TO WAIKEM, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT ORDER THE PART TO DO THE WORK. I WAS OFFERED NO APOLOGY, ACCOMMODATION, OR REASONABLE SOLUTION. WHEN I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR, I WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT I WAS SPEAKING WITH HIM ALREADY. DISGUSTED WITH THEIR COMPLETE LACK OF COMPETENCE OR CUSTOMER SERVICE, I USED THEIR PHONE TO CALL PARK HONDA IN AKRON. I LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THEY GOT ALL OF MY INFORMATION AND TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP ME OUT THAT DAY, BUT WOULD GET THE PART IN, AND THEN CALL ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. FIVE MONTHS LATER I HAVE NOT HEARD A THING FROM EITHER HONDA DEALER. I HAVE ATTACHED A SCREEN SHOT FROM THE SERVICE APPOINTMENT REMINDER FROM WAIKEM HONDA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

ON FEBRUARY 14, 2015, I BROUGHT MY HONDA ODYSSEY IN TO A DEALER FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL. TWO DAYS AFTER I GOT IT FIXED MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN IN DRIVE AND STAYED ON. I CALLED AND MADE A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT CONCERNING THE LIGHT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ODS UNIT HAD FAILED AND THAT IT WAS LISTED AS A RECALL AS WELL. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD BE ALL SET. HOWEVER WHEN I WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME $146.48. I THEN BROUGHT THE PART AND HAD IT INSTALLED BY A HONDA DEALERSHIP WORKER. AFTER THE REPAIR THE LIGHT DID NOT OFF. ON APRIL 30, 2016 I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK FOR THE FINAL RECALL NOTICE AND TO FIND OUT WHY THE LIGHT HAD NOT GONE OFF. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS THE SENSOR. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. MY PROBLEM IS THAT MY SRS LIGHT WAS NOT ON BEFORE THEY MESSED WITH THE AIRBAGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RECALL. IF THEY MISDIAGNOSED MY CAR AND ON TOP OF THAT ALREADY MADE ME PAY $146.48 FOR A NEW OPDS UNIT (WHICH AT FIRST THEY SAID WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL) WHY SHOULD I BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROBLEM? THEY CAUSED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE FIXED THE 'RECALL'. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE. WITH THIS LIGHT BEING ON I FEEL AS THOUGH MY AIRBAG CAN DEPLOY AT ANY TIME, PUTTING MY LIFE IN JEOPARDY. I AM ALSO A TEACHER AND USE MY VAN TO TRANSPORT CHILDREN FROM TIME TO TIME. MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THE CHILDREN ARE MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. SO NOW I AM ASKING THAT MY REPAIRS BE MADE AT NO COST TO ME, BECAUSE THIS ALL STARTED WITH A RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. AS I WAS REACHED A STOP ZONE IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL PEDESTRIAN CROSSING ON 4/11/16, I HEARD A LOUD BOOM LIKE AN EXPLOSION ON MY MINIVAN. THE SOUND WAS EXTREMELY LOUD AND MADE MY EARS HURT AND I WAS DISORIENTED. I LOOKED AROUND THRU THE WINDOW AND REAR VIEW MIRRORS BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE HITTING OR ANY TYPE OF COLLISION WITH ANY OBJECT OR ERWIN. I THEN FELT FABRIC TOUCHING MY LEFT ARM AND SAW THE SIDE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED ON HEIR OWN. BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE SIDE AIRBAGS WERE OUT OF THE SEAT AND DEPLETED . MY 2 YEAR OLD SON WAS IN THE SECOND ROW SEAT BEHIND ME AND MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING ON THE SECOND ROW SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEY WERE SCARED AND I DROVE THE VAN TO MY HOUSE ABOUT 1.5 BLOCKS AWAY. I HAVE A CONTINUOS RINGING IN MY LEFT EAR SINCE THAT DAY. MY PRIMARY MD HAS REFERRED ME TO AUDIOLOGY SPECIALIST. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP AT THE PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY IN FRONT OF SILVERWING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN AREY DR. IN SAN DIEGO CA. I HAVE NOT MOVED THE CAR FROM MY HOME DRIVEWAY AFRAID THAT THE FRONT AIRBAGS COULD DEPLOY THE SAME WAY. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY WANT TO TOE THE CAR TO A DEALER TOMORROW 4/15/16 TO PLACE THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND EVALUATE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND HOW TO CORRECT IT.

BASED ON NHTSA RECALL 04V-176 - TRANSMISSION RECALL, ANY CAR BELOW 15K MILES WILL HAVE A RETURN LINE INSTALLED TO LUBRICATE THE 2ND GEAR. ABOVE 15K MILES NEEDS TO BE EXAMINED BY THE DEALER FOR DISCOLORATION OF THE CLUTCHE PLATES INSIDE THE GEAR BOX. HONDA STATED THAT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH A RETURN LINE, BUT IN FACT IF THE 2ND GEAR HAD THIS ISSUE, THIS IS NOT A FIX, BUT JUST A WORK AROUND TO SAVE REPAIR COST FOR HONDA. HOW DID NHTSA APPROVE SUCH A TEMP REMEDIATION, WHEN THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY. OPENED UP A CASE WITH HONDA AND I WAS TOLD THAT IF THE TRANNY HAS AN ISSUES BUT IS OPERATIONAL, IT IS NOT CONSIDERED AS FAULTY. HOW CAN HONDA STATE IF THE CAR IS OPERATIONAL, IT IS NOT FAULTY, IN THAT CASE DOES HONDA EXPECT THE VAN TO BREAK AND BE UNOPERATIONAL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO CLAIM THE ISSUE AS A RECALL ? MY SERVCE REPORT FROM THE DEALER CLEARLY STATES THAT THE RECALL OF THE RETURN LINE TO THE 2ND GEAR SHOULD ONLY BE DONE IF THE VEHICLE WAS BELOW 15K MILES, HOW WAS THIS DONE ON MY CAR WITH 40K MILES AND ABOVE. AND HOW WAS THIS AUTHORIZED OR IS IT LEGAL ? GOT A REPORT FROM THE DEALER RECENTLY WHICH CLEARLY STATES THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 2ND GEAR NOT SHIFTING TO THE NEXT GEAR. EVERY HONDA ODYSSEY OWNER KNOWS THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND INFERIROR CLUTCH PLATES IN THE 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. I ANTICIPATE NHTSA TAKE ACTIONS ON SUCH CORPORATIONS WHO TRY TO EVADE THE SYSTEMS AND PROVIDE A PATCH/WORK AROUND SOLUTIONS WHICH IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX. SERVICE REPORTS WILL BE PROVIDED IF REQUIRED

THE SRS LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE IS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. HONDA DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A SWITCH IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT. PAGE 53 OF MY VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY STATES THE FOLLOWING: "HONDA PROVIDES A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON SEAT BELTS. HONDA WILL REPAIR OR REPLACE ANY SEAT BELT COMPONENT THAT FAILS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING NORMAL USE." AS SUCH, THE AFOREMENTIONED SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH IS A COMPONENT OF THE SEAT BELT. HOWEVER, HONDA REFUSES TO COVER REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AS ACCORDING TO MY MANUAL, AN SRS INDICATOR LIGHT MAY CAUSE CERTAIN AIRBAGS NOT TO DEPLOY DURING A COLLISION. SUCH AN EVENT WOULD SURELY CAUSE CLEARLY PREVENTABLE BODILY HARM IF THEY WOULD JUST HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. I'M CALLING ON THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, AS I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS IN ONLINE FORUMS HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, WITH MIXED RESULTS FROM HONDA.

HONDA HAS BEEN TRYING TO FIX THE 4 RECALL PROBLEMS ON FOUR DIFFERENT REPAIR ATTEMPTS SINCE MARCH OF 2015, ALL REGARDING THE AIR BAG RECALLS. THEY ARE STILL NOT FIXED AND THERE IS STILL AN OPEN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL AT HONDA OF CORONA. I HAVE HAD 4 DIFFERENT LOANER CARS AND STILL HAVE A LOANER BECAUSE OF HONDA NOT HAVING THE PARTS TO REPAIR MINE. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CORONA AND RIVERSIDE ARE DEPLORABLE. I HAVE HAD THE POLICE INVOLVED IN ONE INCIDENT IN RIVERSIDE AND WAS TOLD SORRY I NEED TO TAKE MY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. "BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE THEY WANT TO". I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HONDA OF CORONA THAT REPAIRING MY RECALLED VEHICLE WAS OUT OF THEIR "GRACIOUSNESS" AND THAT REPAIRING THESE AIRBAG RECALLS WAS A COURTESY AND NOT A REQUIREMENT. I KNOW BETTER THAN WHAT HE TOLD ME AND ALSO DID MY RESEARCH INTO THIS. HONDA IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO GET OUT OF REPAIRING THESE RECALLS. PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSING MONEY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND CANNOT HANDLE A RECALL OF THIS MAGNITUDE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY [XXX] AT RIVERSIDE HONDA THAT SINCE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL BUYER OF THE CAR, THAT I DID NOT HAVE PRIORITY REPAIR SINCE I WAS NOT LIKELY TO BE A HONDA CUSTOMER IN THE FUTURE. YOU BET I WILL NOT BE. THEY HAVE HAD NO RESPECT OR HELP TO ME IN TRYING TO RECTIFY THIS AIRBAG ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED OR MAIMED BY THEIR CARS.

WHEN THEY BROUGHT THIS UNIT ON LINE , THERE WAS WAS A PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG / SENSOR ALERT AND THEY WASN'T ABLE TO CLEAR THIS INDICATION . THEY DID SOME TROUBLE SHOOTING PROCEDURES TO NO AVAIL . I WAS INFORMED OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR REPLACEMENT WOULD COST ME APP. $ 1000..00 , IN WHICH I REFUSED AND TOLD THEM TO PUT BACK THE OLD UNIT THAT HAD NO ISSUES CONCERNING THE THAT OR ANY OTHER SENSOR .

ON FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2015, THE AIRBAGS ON OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY DEPLOYED WITHOUT ACCIDENT OR APPARENT CAUSE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN (15) MILES PER HOUR ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THE PHYSICAL IMPACT OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT CAUSED BLEEDING, SEVERE SCRAPES AND CONTUSIONS TO MY WIFE'S (THE DRIVER'S) LEFT ARM. ALTHOUGH VERY TRAUMATIC AND PAINFUL, WE CONSIDER THIS A VERY FORTUNATE OUTCOME GIVEN THAT THIS INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED MORE SEVERE INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH HAD IT OCCURRED: (1) AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED OR IN CROWDED TRAFFIC CONDITIONS OR (2) HAD THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITH EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE CAUSING THEIR INFLATORS TO RUPTURE. THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER TWO SEPARATE NHTSA RECALLS: (1)15V-045 (MFR CAMPAIGN ID JN6) (INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT) (2)14V-351 (MFR CAMPAIGN ID JH0) (POTENTIAL RUPTURE) IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAD DONE EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR POWER TO AVOID BEING HARMED BY THE KNOWN DEFECTS IN THIS VEHICLE BY BRINGING IT TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER ON 6/9/14 AND 11/18/14 FOR COMPLETION OF EARLIER RECALLS, 13-088 AND 14-040, RESPECTIVELY. FOLLOWING THE DEPLOYMENT, WE RECEIVED AN OFFER FROM AMERICAN HONDA TO REPAIR THE SRS SYSTEM AND TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, BUT WE WERE DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY INSISTED THAT WE APPEAR AT THE DEALER TO SIGN A COMPLETE WAIVER BEFORE MAKING THESE REPAIRS, THAT THE OFFER TO REPLACE THE SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT RECALLED UNDER 15V-045 WAS TO BE DONE WITH A DEVICE STILL SUBJECT TO RECALL AND WHICH HAS ALREADY PROVEN INADEQUATE TO PREVENT INJURY AND A COMPLETE DENIAL OF COMPENSATION FOR THE INJURIES SUFFERED BY MY WIFE AND OTHER DAMAGES. THERE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN A REQUEST TO SIGN ANY WAIVER ASSOCIATED WITH COMPLETION OF THESE REPAIRS AND AHM SHOULD RIGHTFULLY HAVE TAKEN A STANCE THAT WOULD HAVE COMPENSATED US FOR ALL DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS INCIDENT.

I CONTACTED ONE HONDA DEALER FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE INFLATER AND ORDERED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE INFLATER FOR MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE ORDER FOR FRONT PASSENGER SIDE INFLATER, DEALER RESPONDED "DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY QUESTION". I TRIED TO CONTACT WWW.HONDA.COM. I COULD NOT LOCATE ANY EMAIL CONTACT. I AM HARD-OF-HEARING AND I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TWITTER. I DO NOT WANT TO TOUCH TWITTER. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL TELEPHONE NUMBER LISTED ON THEIR WEB SITE. I HAD READ THAT 2003 HONDA ODYSSEYS MAY CONTAIN TAKADA AIR BAG INFLATORS MANUFACTURED WITH INADEQUATE MANUFACTURING CONTROL. THE CURRENT RECALL (AS STATED ON THEIR WEB SITE) IS LIMITED TO 13 U.S. STATES AND TERRITORIES THAT "CONSISTENTLY EXPERIENCE HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY". THE LIST DOES NOT INCLUDE INDIANA. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE WAS NO WAY OF KNOWING WHAT AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS INSTALLED IN MY VAN EVEN WITH THE VIN. THE REPRESENTATIVE SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT A DEALER. I THEN CONTACTED A DEALER IN CLARKSVILLE INDIANA AND ASKED IF THEY COULD TELL ME WHAT AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE BASED UPON THE VIN. THE DEALER SAID NO. HONDA & THE DEALER BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS INADEQUATE PART TRACEABILITY IN THEIR VEHICLES. WITHOUT SUCH TRACEABILITY TO THE VIN, NO RECALL THAT IS CONDUCTED COULD ENSURE THAT ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. LETTING THE MANUFACTURER DETERMINE HOW A RECALL IS CONDUCTED IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC. MANUFACTURER NEGOTIATION AND BARGAINING WITH NHTSA CONCERNING RECALLS IS ALSO AN INADEQUATE PROCESS. IT LACKS TRANSPARENCY THAT THE PUBLIC DESERVES IN MATTERS THAT ARE RELATED TO LIFE AND DEATH SAFETY ISSUES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ALREADY CONDUCTED AIR BAG RECALL WORK ON MANY HONDA ODYSSEY VANS IN INDIANA (10 - 20). THIS CONTRADICTS THE SCOPE OF THE CURRENT RECALL LISTED ON HONDA'S WEB SITE AND CALLS INTO QUESTION THE HONESTY OF THE ENTIRE PROCESS. THE DEALER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. WHEN A MANUFACTURING SAFETY RELATED DEFECT AS SERIOUS AS THE HONDA ISSUE ARISES, THE PUBLIC DESERVES TO HAVE THEIR INTERESTS PLACED AHEAD OF THE PROFITS OF ANY MANUFACTURER OR DEALER. THE CONFUSION AROUND THIS ISSUE AND THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY ALSO CASTS A SHADOW UPON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ENTIRE REGULATORY SYSTEM. *TR

THE DEALER REPLACED THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG UNDER THE RECALL. THEY CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I NOW HAVE TWO ISSUES. SINCE THE MANUFACTURER TAKATA IS KNOWN TO HAVE LIED ABOUT DEFECTS, CAN I BE CERTAIN THAT THE REPLACEMENT THAT WAS INSTALLED IS SAFE? SINCE THERE IS A RECALL, 13V-132, NOW ON RECORD, WAS I LIED TO ABOUT THE NEED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG? THIS RECALL; SPEAKS OF PASSENGER AIR BAG PROBLEMS. WHAT CORRECTIVE ACTION IS PLANNED TO ASSURE THAT THE REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS ARE SAFE AND WHEN WILL THEY BE AVAILABLE? *TR

PHONED THE HONDA TELEPHONE NUMBER LISTED ON A DOCUMENT FROM HONDA'S WEB SITE ENTITLED "A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS ABOUT AIRBAG SAFETY" I PROVIDED ALL OF THE REQUESTED INFORMATION AND ASKED THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE IF MY VEHICLE HAD A "TAKATA" AIRBAG INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THIS INFORMATION WAS NOT ACCESSIBLE TO THEM. I TOLD THE HONDA REP THAT I WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS OF SMALL STATURE, WHICH INFLUENCES THE SEAT POSITIONING, AND THEREFORE I WANTED TO CONFIRM IF A "TAKATA" AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THE ONLY WAY TO BE 100% CERTAIN WAS FOR ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER AND HAVE THEM DISASSEMBLE THE CAR AND TAKE OUT THE AIR BAG AND DETERMINE THE MANUFACTURER OF THE AIRBAG VISUALLY. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT IT WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THAT SERVICE AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY HONDA. I THINK THIS IS VERY SHODDY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT A MANUFACTURER OF AUTOMOBILES DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT TRACEABILITY SUCH THAT THE MAKER AND PART NUMBER OF A COMPONENT WHICH IS SO OBVIOUSLY IMPORTANT TO SAFETY (AN AIRBAG) IS KNOWN FOR A PARTICULAR VEHICLE. NHTSA IS THE LINE OF LAST RESORT FOR CONSUMERS IN SITUATIONS SUCH AS THESE. THE AGENCY SHOULD PROTECT THE DRIVING PUBLIC FROM MANUFACTURERS WHO REFUSE TO RECALL DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT THEY HAVE LONG AGO SOLD AND REAPED THE PROFITS FROM. *TR

HONDA CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL ON 2002-2004 ODYSSEY DRIVER-SIDE AIR BAG FOR VEHICLES PURCHASED OR REGISTERED IN "HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY" STATES (NHTSA RECALL 14V-351).

I CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA TO DISCUSS ABOUT THE SITUATION AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT'S OPERATED IN THOSE AFFECTED STATES. I'M WRITING TO YOU TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE WAYS THIS RECALL IS HANDLED. THIS RECALL IS CLIMATE-RELATED SAFETY ISSUE. ANY OWNER WHO CAN SHOW PROOF OF OPERATIONS IN THOSE AFFECTED REGION SHOULD BE ALLOWED AND BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, LIKE MY CASE PRESENTED. I'D APPRECIATE YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER AND MAKE HONDA TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE VEHICLES THAT'S "OPERATED" IN THOSE STATES, NOT JUST "PURCHASED" OR "REGISTERED". SINCERELY. *TR

ON JULY 24TH , 2014 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING (WITH ONE OF OUR YOUNG SONS) HER 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY ABOUT 30-35 MPH ON A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. WITHOUT ANY COLLISION OR CONTACT WITH ANY OTHER OBJECT BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND CALLED ME FOR ASSISTANCE. NOT LONG AFTERWARDS A TOWN OF MOUNT PLEASANT POLICE OFFICER STOPPED TO RENDER ASSISTANCE. WE EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED AND HE CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO COLLISION AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE PHOTOS OF THE VEHICLE (WHICH I DID). HE STATED HE COULDN'T WRITE A POLICE REPORT SINCE THERE WAS NO COLLISION OR ACCIDENT. WE HAD THE ODYSSEY TOWED TO A BODY SHOP. MY WIFE SUFFERED A LARGE CONTUSION, BURN AND HEMATOMA OF THE LEFT ARM WHICH HAS BEEN VERY PAINFUL REQUIRING HER TO VISIT HER PHYSICIAN. WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (RICK HENDRICKS HONDA) WHO TOLD MY WIFE THAT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE AIRBAGS WAS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT A COLLISION AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL REGARDING AIRBAGS FOR THIS CAR. WE CONTACTED THE NATIONAL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WHO ASSIGNED US A CASE MANAGER. WE FOUND OUT ON OUR OWN THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG SENSOR BECAUSE OF THIS VERY ISSUE (SPONTANIOUS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT). WE WERE NEVER CONTACTED BY HONDA ABOUT THE RECALL.

MY FATHER JUST HAD EXITED THE HIGHWAY (GOING 70 MPH) AND 10 SECONDS LATER AFTER TAKING THE EXIT, HE HEARD A LOUD BANG (DESCRIBED AS AN EXPLOSION) AND ALL THE AIRBAGS IN OUR HONDA ODYSSEY 2003 MODEL DEPLOYED. THERE WAS SMOKE AND HE COULD NOT SEE. HIS ARM WAS INJURED AND BRUISED IN THIS PROCESS. SINCE THIS WAS A MAJOR CROSS-SECTION AT AN OVERPASS ABOVE THE HIGHWAY, HE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OFF THE CAR. THERE WERE TONS OF CARS AND SUBSEQUENTLY THE OTHER DRIVERS STARTED HONKING SINCE HE WAS RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING LEFT. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A MAJOR INTERSECTION! IF HIS AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED JUST 10 SECONDS EARLIER, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CAR: HONDA HAD RECALLED THIS CAR SO MY DAD HAD BROUGHT IT IN TO THEIR SHOWROOM. HONDA HAD THEN SAID EVERYTHING WAS OKAY! HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED IF EVERYTHING WAS OKAY? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! MY DAD IS NOW TERRIFIED OF DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE WHO KNOWS IF IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED, TRIPLE A BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA'S SHOWROOM. HONDA THEN HAD THE AUDACITY OF ACCUSING MY FATHER OF "MAYBE GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT OR REAR ENDING SOMEONE." THEY THEN WENT ON TO CHARGE MY DAD MONEY TO EVEN RUN THE DIAGNOSTICS OF THE CAR. WHY WOULD HE LIE? CLEARLY HIS ARM IS BRUISED AND THIS IS AN HONEST MAN! AGAIN, THIS WAS A RECALLED CAR AND THIS CAR PUT MY DAD AND OTHER DRIVERS IN HARM'S WAY. HONDA REFUSES TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAS THEIR FAULT. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE, HONDA AND OTHER CAR COMPANIES CANNOT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. POOR CONSUMERS BUY THEIR PRODUCTS BECAUSE WE TRUST THEM (WE OWN TWO HONDAS, INCLUDING ME!). NOW EVEN I AM TERRIFIED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ME AND MY HONDA CIVIC. *TR

SERVICE SAFETY RECALL REGARDING SRS MALFUNCTION WAS PERFORMED ON MY VAN BY PAUL MILLER HONDA IN CALDWELL, NJ ON 12/21/2013. AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE, THE SRS MALFUNCTION LIGHT COMES ON AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING. NOTIFIED DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA. AMERICAN HONDA OPENED A CASE FOR THIS, N012014-01-0200225. WAS ADVISED FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT FROM THE DEALER. WENT BACK TO DEALER FOR TEST ON 1/4/14 AND A DTC CODE 53-31, INTERNAL FAILURE OF SRS UNIT, WAS CALLED OUT ON TEST. WANTS SRS UNIT REPLACED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. ADVISED BY DEALER THAT THIS NOT RELATED TO RECALL. THE RECALL WAS ADDING WIRES ON THE HARNESS WIRES SET TO THE SRS UNIT. I WAS ADVISED BY AMERICAN HONDA TO SEEK DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO OTHER DEALER. WENT TO GARDEN STATE HONDA IN PASSAIC, NJ ON 1/22/14 FOR A MORE THOROUGH TEST. THE DEALER INSIST ON REPLACING 2 YEAR BATTERY AS THIS MIGHT CAUSES DTC 53-31. CCA ON BATTERY WAS 450, RECOMMENDED IS 550. TOLD ADVISOR THAT CCA IS FOR COLD CRANKING/STARTING OF VAN AND IRRELEVANT TO THE PROBLEM AS LONG AS OUTPUT IS A SUSTAINED 12 VDC AND I DO NOT HAVE PROBLEM WHEN STARTING THE VAN. FORCED TO COMPLY AT MY OWN EXPENSE. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH NEW BATTERY. ON 2/6/14 AND AFTER 3 TRIPS, DEALER RECOMMENDS REPLACEMENT OF SRS UNIT ON MY OWN EXPENSE AND NOT RELATED TO RECALL LIKE THE FIRST DEALER. THE DEALER IS UNCERTAIN IF THIS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUES. THIS WILL BE ELIMINATION PROCESS AT MY OWN EXPENSE. VAN HAS NEVER HAD ANY SRS FAULT FOR 10 YEARS. ONLY AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE WHEN SRS FAULT LIGHT COMES ON. NOW, SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS ARE COMPROMISED. AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY IF AND WHEN NEEDED. AMERICAN HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE EXPENSES BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF DEALER. HONDA SHOULD SHOULDER ALL EXPENSES RELATED TO THE RESOLUTION OF THE SRS FAULT AND THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER AND PASSENGER... UPDATED 02/27/14

THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON (2003 HONDA ODYSSEY). I NOTICED THAT THIS IS SOMEHOW LINKED TO WHEN I SHUT OFF MY AC IN PREPARATION FOR REACHING MY DESTINATION, LEAVING THE AIR RUNNING WITH AIR RECYCLE ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE HONDA DEALER THRICE. WHEN THEY RAN A CHECK THE CODE INDICATED A PROBLEM IN THE CABLE. THEY MANAGED TO GET THE LIGHT TURNED OFF THE FIRST TIME AROUND INDICATING THAT THE CABLE MAY NEED TO BE CHANGED. WHEN THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE SECOND TIME ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE CABLE WAS CHANGED. THIS TIME THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON EVEN BEFORE I GOT THE VEHICLE HOME FROM THE DEALER. THE THIRD TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THE CODE INDICATES A NEED FOR CABLE CHANGE AND SINCE THE CABLE IS NEW THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM AND WILL REQUIRE AN EXPENSIVE INVESTIGATION TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE ISSUE. SINCE THE LIGHT WAS OUT THEN THEY ASKED TO TRY IT OUT. AGAIN THREE DAYS LATER, TODAY 8/26/2013 THE LIGHT CAME ON AS I REACHED MY DRIVE WAY.

ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH, AT APPROXIMATELY 7:00 PM, I WAS DRIVING OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH MY FAMILY WHEN WE EXPERIENCED A SPONTANEOUS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHILE WAITING AT A STOPLIGHT. THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OR BEHIND US AND I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FIRST WITH A LOUD "POP". TWO TO THREE SECONDS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED (WHERE MY WIFE WAS SITTING). FORTUNATELY, BOTH OF US WERE SITTING BACK IN OUR SEATS AND I HAD MY HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. NEITHER OF US WERE CONTACTED BY THE AIRBAGS THERE WAS A THIRD LOUD "POP" A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER THE DEPLOYMENTS. THE SEATBELT TENSIONERS ALSO ENGAGED AND NOW DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CONFIRMED THAT WE HAD NOT BEEN STRUCK BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING. I BROUGHT THE VAN INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR AN INSPECTION, WHERE WE HAD PURCHASED IT A LITTLE MORE THAN TWO YEARS EARLIER. THE INSPECTION REPORT STATES THAT, "DURING SERVICE INSPECTION DID NOT LOCATE ANY OBVIOUS IMPACTS AND/OR DAMAGE." THE DEALERSHIP PULLED CODES 53-41 AND 54-50, BUT SAID THEY COULD NOT GET ANYMORE INFORMATION FROM THE SRS UNIT UNTIL WE HAD THEM REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THEN GAVE US A QUOTE OF OVER $4100 TO FIX THE AIRBAGS AND SEATBELTS. I CONTACTED HONDA OF AMERICA AND ASKED THAT THE CAUSE FOR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER. IT TOOK ALMOST A MONTH TO GET A CORPORATE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AS THE FIRST INSPECTION. LAST NIGHT I RECEIVED THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND INSPECTION, WHICH GAVE NO POTENTIAL REASONS FOR THE DEPLOYMENT. WE LEFT THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP, ASKING FOR MORE SPECIFIC DOCUMENTATION ON POTENTIAL CAUSES. MY WIFE AND I BELIEVE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WAS THE RESULT OF A SAFETY DEFECT, AND HONDA OF AMERICA HAS REFUSED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. *TR

MY HONDA ODYSSEY (2003 MODEL WITH 21K MILES) HAVE THE AIR-BAG SYSTEM FAILED FOR NO REASON (PROBABLY DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING). THE VAN HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. FOR SAFETY REASON, IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE HONDA TO CHECK AIRBAGS FUNCTION OF OTHERS. AS I KNOW, 2005 ODYSSEY HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR AIRBAG FAILURE. *NM

SUMMARY: WIRING PROBLEM THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. THE WIRING INSIDE THE CABLE REEL ASSEMBLY IN THE STEERING COLUMN OF MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY CAME APART INSIDE. THIS WIRING INCLUDE SRS WIRING AS WELL AS HORN, LIGHTING, AND CRUISE CONTROL WIRING. UPON REMOVAL OF THIS PART ALL COPPER CONTACTS TO ALL WIRES WERE EXPOSED AND ANY WIRE COULD HAVE SHORTED TO ANY OTHER WIRE -- THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL SRS/AIR BAG TO BE DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING. CONTACTS WERE CONSTANTLY BEING TUGGED AT WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 42,000 MILES AND HONDA WOULD NOT SAY THEY WOULD PAY TO FIX IT, I REPAIRED THIS MYSELF IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HONDA SERVICE MANUAL. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE PART, AND HAVE SAVE THE PART IN A ZIP-LOCK BAG SO THAT IT CAN BE ANALYZED. *JB
