FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON SATURDAY AUGUST 1, 2015, I WAS ON MY WAY FROM THE AIRPORT WITH THREE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WHEN THE VAN SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. UPON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT, THE VAN WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. MY FUEL GAUGE AND LIGHT WERE NOT INDICATING NO FUEL (WHICH WAS THE FIRST THING THAT THE OFFICER WHO ASSISTED IN PUSHING THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD LOOKED AT). THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP RAN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE AND DECIDED THAT ALL THE VEHICLE'S SIX CYLINDERS WERE MIS-FIRING DUE TO LOW FUEL PRESSURE (5PSI) AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THE LAST TIME I HAD DRIVEN THE VAN PRIOR TO AUGUST 1, WAS JULY 21, 2015 WHEN I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER FOR THE FUEL PUMP FILTER REPLACEMENT (THE VEHICLE HAD 147,504 MILES ON IT LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP). THE DEALER CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE REASON WHY THE VEHICLE STOPPED WAS THAT I HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL. I ASKED HOW THE CYLINDER MISFIRINGS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON EARLIER ON AUGUST 1ST WAS RELATED TO AN EMPTY TANK, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WERE RELATED. BUT HE SAID HE COULD NOT PROMISE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STALL AGAIN BECAUSE ALL THE FUEL PUMP PART COULD BE GETTING OLD AND FAILING. NOW, ABOUT THE FUEL GAUGE THAT "FAILED" TO WORK AFTER THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WORK WAS DONE, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CLAIMED THAT THEIR TECHNICIAN RECHECKED WHAT HE DID ON JULY 21ST AND FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH IT. FURTHERMORE, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ODYSSEY FUEL PUMP IS DEEPER THAN THE "FILTER" REPLACEMENT PATCH THAT HONDA HAS IMPROVISED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US GO AFTER HONDA OF AMERICA TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY REPLACING ALL DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS AND NOT JUST THE FUEL PUMP FILTER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DURING ACCELERATION, AND PARTICULARLY WHILE TURNING AND ACCELERATING (E.G. LEFT HAND TURNS FROM A STOP LIGHT), THE VSA INDICATOR (TRIANGLE WITH EXCLAMATION POINT) WILL FLASH REPEATEDLY AND THE VEHICLE WILL DECELERATE (NOT NECESSARILY BRAKE) UNTIL IT REACHES THE STANDARD IDLE SPEED OR UNTIL THE WHEELS STRAIGHTEN OUT AND THE VSA INDICATOR STOPS FLASHING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE EXPOSED IN INTERSECTIONS WITH UNEXPECTED INABILITIES TO ACCELERATE OUT OF AN INTERSECTION. IT IS INTERMITTENT BUT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I WAS FORCED TO OBTAIN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, ETCHING AND MANY OTHER THINGS. ONE YEAR LATER I BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING DOORS. I INFORMED HONDA BECAUSE DOORS ARE COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANY REPAIRS. SUMMER OF 2014 THERE'S A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT BECAUSE THE DOORS ARE STUCK CLOSED THEY CANNOT REPAIR THE RECALL. HOWEVER THE SERVICE ADVISOR OPENED THE SLIDING DOORS AND STILL THEN THEY REFUSE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL. I CONTACTED HONDA'S MANUFACTURER AND PER THE CASE MANAGER AT CORPORATE OFFICE," HONDA CANNOT HELP ME THE RECALL." I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT ON SEPTEMBER OF 2011 THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE STEERING. I INFORMED THE CASE MANAGER THAT I NEVER RECEIVED SUCH NOTICE. HER RESPONSE WAS "PERHAPS THE NOTICE WAS MAILED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER, BECAUSE WE GO BY THE ADDRESS NOTED AT THE DMV OFFICE."; SEPTEMBER OF 2011 THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED UNDER MY NAME AND ADDRESS, THE CASE MANAGER DID NOT HAVE A RESPONSE FOR ME. FUEL PUMP RECALL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING. THERE IS A STRONG SHUDDERING AND SHAKE WHEN I REACH THE SPEEDS OF 20-30 MPH. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN THE ECO MODE ENGAGES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT I AM NOT GETTING THE SAME FUEL ECONOMY WITH THIS ISSUE. I AM HESITANT TO CALL HONDA WITH MY VIN. FOR THE FACT OF THEM DELETING ANY RECALL OR PROBLEMS WITH MY VAN. AFTER READING MANY ARTICLES ABOUT HONDA OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS MINE. MY ONLY QUESTION TO NHTSA. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO MAKE HONDA BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. PERHAPS HONDA IS PAYING YOU OFF TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM EXIST. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY HONDA DEALERSHIPS WANTING TO PURCHASE MY VAN. I DO NOT HAVE MY VAN LISTED FOR SELL OR HAVE I THOUGHT ABOUT SELLING IT. HOW IS IT THEY ARE ABLE TO GET MY ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER? THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT HONDA KNOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM EXIST. IF THEY CAN GET OWNERS SUCH AS MYSELF FOR FALL FOR THERE GAME PLAN. THE DEALER IS GOING TO GET ISSUE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THEM. THEN SELL THE VAN FOR MUCH MORE THAN THEY ARE OFFERING ME. EVEN WHEN I TOLD THEM NO! THEY CONTINUED TO CALL ME ASKING IF I WOULD RECONSIDER THE OFFER OF SELLING THE VAN. IS THIS JUST COINCIDENCE OF A COVER UP BY HONDA OR THE DEMAND FOR THESE VANS IS HIGH. HUMMMM!

BEEN SICK WITH DEALING CANCER APPOINTMENTS AND , HAD NO TIME OR MONEY TO DEAL WITH CAR, FINALLY I TOOK IT ON 12/6/2016 TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR ONLY $40 AND THEY SAID IT HAD A CRACK ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP CASING. BUT THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS GOING TO COST $563. THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT AROUND, SO I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID IF I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY MIGHT HELP ME WITH THE REPAIR, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE CAR TO BLOW UP WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. I INQUIRED AS TO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE ADVISER STATED THAT SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, BUT WOULD SEE IF I COULD GET OUT OF WARRANTY HELP, I TOLD HER THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE AND HAD PRINTED OUT SO MANY PEOPLE STATING THEIR 2005 HONDAS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS FAULTY CASING WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RISK MINE OR ANYONE ELSE'S LIFE. I WILL REPOST THE OUTCOME, HONDA GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER AND SAID SOMEONE SHOULD CONTACT ME BY THE END ON 12/09/2013 TO LET ME KNOW IF THE CAN HELP WITH THE COST.
