ON JUNE 28, OUR 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY LX LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE POWER WHILE TRAVELING ON I-94 E BOUND BETWEEN BATTLE CREEK MI AND THE EXIT TO I-69. THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, THEN AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK AND SWITCHING OFF THE IGNITION, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. IT RAN FINE FOR THE NEXT TWO HOURS, BUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-75 NORTH OF DAYTON, OH. THIS TIME, I NOTICED THE GAUGES CAME BACK ON AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME THE CRUISE CONTROL AND PROCEED WITH OUT STOPPING. IN GOT CASE, TRAFFIC WAS NOT SO HEAVY AS TO BE A DANGER, AND LUCKILY WE WERE NOT IN THE PASSING LANE. THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED JUST BEFORE WE MADE IT ONTO OUR STREET, BUT FOR A SHORTER TIME AND WE CONTINUED HOME. THE NEXT NIGHT, WHILE RETURNING HOME ON LOCAL STREETS, GOING ABOUT 35MPH, THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME, WE HAD THE HEADLIGHT ON (IT WAS ABOUT 9:15PM), AND WE LOST ALL LIGHTING (INTERIOR GAUGES AND EXTERIOR). ON JUNE 30, THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM - FAILED IGNITION SWITCH ELECTRICAL CONTACTS. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS CAR HAD BEEN SERVICED FOR THIS PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY AS A RESULT OF A RECALL. I CHECKED YOUR ONLINE NOTICES: MAY 16, 2002 NHTSA: 02V120000. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IGNITION SWITCH. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE RE-ISSUED FOR THIS SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM. WE WOULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN BAD WEATHER; LOSS OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS AS WELL AS LIGHTING AND BRAKE LIGHTS. AND AT NIGHT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD ON THE HIGHWAY.

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

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
