There is no summary currently available

The odometer is often unreadable. This has happening for several months now, maybe over a year, but recently more and more. I looked online and many people are saying this is a safety issue - these readings are used for inspections, maintenance, insurance, etc. Th problem is that there are extra segments highlighted in the LCD display, which makes the affected digits unreadable. Like, if all 7 segments appear showing an "8", that could be any number. If the number shows as a 7, it might really be a 1 -- you can't tell. If it shows a 3, that might really be a 7 or 1. Sometimes there is no actual digit showing, just a random assortment of segments. Date of "first" occurrence below is just an estimate, but it has really gotten worse in the last few weeks.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THE AIRBAGS CAN HIT THE PASSENGER WITH METAL IF DEPLOYED OVER SIX MONTHS AGO. I KEEP CHECKING AND HONDA STATES THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. HONDA NEEDS TO EXPEDITE PROCURING THIS PART. HONDA SHOULD BE FINE. AND HONDA WILL BE SUED IF ANYONE IS INJURED BY THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2020 FOR MY 2000 ODYSSEY. I HAVE RECEIVED NO FURTHER NOTICES. I CALLED A HONDA DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER TODAY AND BOTH TOLD ME THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND HAVE NO TIMELINE FOR WHEN THESE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY AS THIS VEHICLE IS 2O YEARS OLD AND IS HIGH MILEAGE.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM HONDA IN MARCH THAT MY 2000 ODYSSEY NEEDED DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ISSUE COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FATALITY. I WAS ALSO NOTIFIED THAT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. SIX MONTHS LATER, WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROGRESS OF THE NEW AIRBAG PART, AND I'M HAVING TROUBLE BELIEVING THAT HONDA IS MAKING THIS A PRIORITY.
