RIGHT REAR POWER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT LATCH SHUT
IGNITION SWITCH RECALL
SEVERAL TIMES OVER PAST TWO WEEKS VEHICLE HAS STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY SHORTLY AFTER STARTING OR WHILE DRIVING - DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND GAUGES (INCLUDING ODOMETER) ALL BLANK EXCEPT 3 BLINKS OF GREEN "KEY" LIGHT (IMMOBILIZER INDICATOR); ACCESSORIES STAY OPERATIONAL (RADIO, ETC) BUT ENGINE SHUTS OFF. WILL RE-START AFTER A FEW TRIES, TYPICALLY; FAILED TRIES INCLUDE ENGINE STARTING WHILE KEY HELD IN START POSITION BUT DYING IMMEDIATELY WHEN RETURNING KEY TO "RUN" POSITION. WILL STAY RUNNING IF KEY IS HELD BETWEEN "START" AND "RUN" LOCATION. WHEN THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHILE COASTING AND RESTART THE ENGINE, HOLDING KEY NEAR START, TO GET ENOUGH RUNTIME TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE PLACE OFF THE ROAD. RECALL TO THIS EFFECT APPARENTLY WAS PERFORMED BACK IN 2002-2003; LOOKS LIKE RECURRENCE OF SAME PROBLEM?? WHAT ARE MY RECOURSES?
RECENTLY, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 94, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE ALONG WITH A LIGHT THAT READS "TCS". SHORTLY AFTER THESE TWO LIGHTS CAME ON, MY VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN TAKING OFF AND MAINTAINING STABILITY ONCE IN MOTION. DURING TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS, FREEWAYS, INTERSTATES, OR CITY STREETS, MY VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHIFTS FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, CAUSING IT TO SLOW DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY BEFORE JERKING INTO MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ALSO, DURING RECENT NIGHT TIME TRAVEL THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER, GO DIM THEN GET BRIGHT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ALSO SLOWS DOWN WHEN TURNING CORNERS THEN WILL SUDDENLY JUMP INTO MOTION. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR RECENTLY WENT OFF TRACK CAUSING A SCREAMING ALARM TO SOUND DURING TRAVEL. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAD A HOLE IN THE UPPER HOSE.I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THE POOR ACCELERATION OF MY VEHICLE AND THE VIOLENT JERKING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION TO WORK, SCHOOL AND ANY IMPORTANT PLACE THAT I NEED TO TRAVEL TO.
SLIDING DOOR ALWAYS WAS DEFECTIVE FROM 2006. ALWAYS NOT CLOSING TO THE END. ONE SLIDER DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE NOT WORKING FROM 2006, PROBABLY CABLE BROKEN INSIDE OF SLIDER DOOR. SLIDING DOOR HANDLE IS LOSE. MY WIFE NOT USING SLIDER DOOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS, BECAUSE IT STOCK AND CAN'T OPEN AT ALL. FRONT DOOR LOCK ALSO NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. ALSO I WANT REPLACE ALL AIR BACK IN MY MINI VAN, I NEVER RECEIVE ANY PAPER RECALL FROM DEALER.
I'M CONTINUOUSLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH BOTH SLIDER DOORS JAMMING ,STICKING SHUT, SAYING THEY AREN'T SHUT ALL THE WAY. USED TO BE ABLE TO FIX BY PULLING FUSES TO REST DOORS..NOW THEY WON'T EVEN OPEN MANUALLY AT TIMES. PASSENGER SIDE FILES OPEN WHILE DRIVING
I SPOKE WITH ERIC AT HONDA RECALL AND CAMPAIGN DEPARTMENT--I TOLD HIM THAT MY CAR WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL. THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE THE CAR IS IN GEAR AND IT HAS ROLLED ALREADY. HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS ALREADY REPAIRED AND EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS THE REPAIR FAILED AND THE CAR IS STILL AT RISK--HE SAYS THAT HONDA MUST EVALUATE IT FIRST AND THEY MIGHT REPAIR IT. OR THEY MAY NOT.
WAS DRIVING VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. WAS NEARLY KILLED, AS I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE CAR INTO A SAFE AREA
I BELIEVE STRONGLY, IT HAS TO DO WITH MY IGNITION. MY ENGINE JUST QUITS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. ONE TIME IT QUIT ON ME WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGH WAY. AND MULTIPLE TIMES IT QUITS ON THE REGULAR DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS.
I WAS DRIVING THE VAN AND ALL OF SUDDEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS STOPPED AND COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD IN MY STREET
