2004 Honda Odyssey Problems

In have traffic on hwy van quit pulling causing a major traffic problem upon checking Honda failed to mount a proper cooling system for the Trans even though they acknowledge doing so refuse to do anything about it apparently there's a lot of these on road luckily someone wasn't killed that day

My transmission will not shift into third fourth or fifth and I see that there is a recall on the transmission for the 2004 Honda Odysseys and I was wondering how I go about getting this repaired that’s what mines doing it won’t shift I have to manually shift it from 1st to 2nd as far as It can go.

SRS light is on they said it was the air bag or riverside buckle

As the result of a recall, my driver airbag inflator was replaced. Soon afterwards, my horn started honking when hitting, bumps or moving the steering wheel. I returned the vehicle to the dealership, and they said they adjusted something that seem to help for a short period of time. However, the problem returned upon taking the car to another dealership. I found that the automotive repairman stated that the wrong part for the inflator had been installed. I returned it to the original dealership and they refused to address the problem. The dealer is persons Honda at 15525 Frederick Rd., Rockville, MD 20855.

GOOD EVENING, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. LAST YEAR, THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO REMEDY THE ONGOING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RECALL 04V-176. BRAMAN HONDA IN MIAMI, FLORIDA DID NOT INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION AS REQUIRED AND LIED ON THEIR WORK ORDER THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK 7 HOURS WITH MY VAN. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED. MY TRANSMISSION WAS IN WORKING CONDITION WHEN IT TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LAST YEAR. I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES THAT THE RECALL WARNS THAT MAY HAPPEN DUE TO THE ONGOING GEAR ISSUES. LAST WEEK, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VAN'S TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME SAFELY. I RELY ON MY VAN FOR WORK THEREFORE THIS MATTER IS AFFECTING US FINANCIALLY. MY WIFE RECENTLY CALLED THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL HOTLINE AND SPOKE WITH LISA. THE REP ADVISED THAT I WILL HAVE TO TOW MY VAN AND PAY OUT OF POCKET, FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO EVALUATE THIS ISSUE. SINCE THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO REMEDY THIS RECALL LAST YEAR, I AM REQUESTING THE FOLLOWING: I WOULD LIKE FOR AN ENGINEER OR MECHANIC TO BE DISPATCHED TO OUR HOME AND CHECK THE TRANSMISSION. ONCE THE MATTER IS ASSESSED, THEN I CAN PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE TOWED TO A NEARBY AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICE. LISA EXPLAINED TO MY WIFE THAT THERE IS A 50/50 CHANCE THAT THIS TRANSMISSIONRECALL ISSUE WILL ACTUALLY BE REPAIRED WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN FLORIDA WHICH IS THE THIRD STATE WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNT OF COVID-19 CASES THEREFORE THIS WOULD BE THE MOST FEASIBLE OPTION. LAST YEAR'S CASE WITH THE MANUFACTURER WAS CLOSED PREMATURELY EVEN THOUGH MY WIFE ADVISED IT WAS STILL ONGOING. WITH THAT SAID, DUE TO BRAMAN HONDA'S NEGLIGENCE, I AM CURRENTLY WITHOUT A VEHICLE SINCE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. THANK YOU. *JS

We were driving and was at a stop, when we went to go, our van wouldn't move. We shut it off then restarted it and it was ok for about a mile then started shaking a little & we could only go about 10 mph on a highway. We got home after it being off restarted it it goes into gear but won't go anywhere no warning lights came on at all we keep up on maintenance too.

THE SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS CONTINUE TO FAIL TO OPEN ELECTRONICALLY AND ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPEN IF THEY DO NOT OPEN ELECTRONICALLY. THIS CAN BE AN ISSUE FOR PASSENGERS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AS EVERYONE WOULD HAVE TO CLIMB OUT THE FRONT DOORS. THE DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED ELECTRONICALLY WHEN STATIONARY. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN MANUALLY, DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED A FEW INCHES.

I STOPPED BEHIND A CAR WAITING TO MERGE FROM A PARKING LOT TO HIGHWAY 193. THE CAR AHEAD PULLED OUT A LITTLE. THEN APPARENTLY CHANGING HIS MIND, HE BACKED UP INTO ME. I HAD NOT PULLED FORWARD, BUT HE STILL TOTALED MY CAR. SURPRISINGLY, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE. THE COLLISION BENT MY HOOD, CRACKED THE GRILL, BROKE THE BUMPER.

THE METAL BRACKET THAT IS RIVETED TO THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT SECURING IT TO THE FRAME SNAPPED. THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT IS LOOSE AND IN A COLLISION THE SEAT WOULD NOT HOLD THE DRIVER IN A FIXED POSITION.

BRACKET HOLDING SEAT TO BODY OF VEHICLE SNAPPED. APPEARS TO BE MANUFACTURED INCORRECTLY. FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING THE SEAT TO SUDDENLY JERK AND FALL.

My 2004 has codes relating to transmission problems, along with ongoing codes for emission problems. I have taken it in and it dose need a new transmission. It also needs emission work . I have been told that this rare with this make and model. Also the input for the gas is not working well.

SRS light is on they said it was the air bag or riverside buckle

SRS light is on, diagnostic test done at Honda Dealer ($149.00), drivers seat belt buckle was at fault, Dealer ordered part and to install at no cost to me. Light would come on for a week or two maybe longer when vehicle was started. Not sure if my airbags were compromised with this light On. Why was I charged for test, I feel this test cost should also be paid by Honda

The contact owned a 2004 Honda Odyssey equipped with Michelin CrossClimate 2 Tires, Tire Size 255/60R112VXL, DOT Number: Not Available. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an unknown speed and turning a corner, the front driver's side tire suddenly blew out, causing the vehicle to roll a few times, then flip, crashing into a tree where it came to a stop.

Early morning on 6-22-2022, while driving on the highway with my family, suddenly we lost control of the vehicle, and it started to swing. fortunately, the vehicle stopped on the left shoulder without hitting anything. when we looked outside the vehicle, we found everything is good except the flat tire on the front driver's side. 911 and AAA have been called.

THE VAN IS GOING BACKWARD WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE AND WHEN YOU PRESS IT DOES NOT GO FORWARD IT JUST REVS UP THE GAS. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION DRIVING WHEN IT WENT FROM DRIVING TO REVING THE GAS AND NOT GOING FORWARD.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND THE IGNITION KEY WILL NOT TURN WHEN I INSERT IT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN AS MANY MONTHS.

AFTER I BRING MY CAR TO DEALER THEY FIX THE SRS CONTROL UNIT RECALL, THEN THE SRS LIGHT ALWAYS ON THEN THEY TELL ME NEED TO PAY FOR THE PART OPDS UNIT WILL NOT INITIALIZE. WHY I HAVE TO PAY FOR OPDS PART BEFORE MY CAR NEVER HAVE THAT HAPPEN.

I WAS DRIVING TO SCHOOL, AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTING FUNNY. I DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES TO OUR DEALERSHIP. LUCKILY I MADE IT. THE HIGHEST SPEED I COULD GO WAS ALMOST 40MPH.

DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...AND HAD TO PICK UP KIDS AT SCHOOL AT 3;30P.M. ENDED UP SINKING $40,000.00 INTO A NEW 2014 ODYSSEY. BOY DO I FEEL TAKEN! AND THEN TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA TRANSMISSIONS FROM 1999. I DO QUESTION THE TRANSMISSION OF THE ONE I AM DRIVING NOW....IT SHIFTS FUNNY. MY 2004 ALSO ALWAYS HAD A FUEL SMELL. WAS CONCERNED AT TIMES OF STARTING IT. WE ALSO PAID TO HAVE THE DASH LIGHTS FIXED....AT OUR EXPENSE. DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT EITHER......DARN THOSE DEALERSHIPS!!! THEY GOT US ON THE TRANSMISSION TOO!! *JS

Good Morning, On Monday, September 19, 2022. I talked with Chris from Honda. com. He told me to take the vehicle back to the same repair dealership where I had issues with repairing the vehicle. I said trusting them is hard for me because they had the vehicle 3 different times and the airbags and vehicle are still not repaired. Chris told me " I will call you back later, by the end of this week". As of yet, I have not heard back from Chris at Honda.com thank you. John Phillips. Ps. receipts were previously submitted.

Issues: 1. The malfunction was a heavy grinding noise from the rear of the vehicle on the passenger side. 2. Also, the recall status was incomplete. 3. The repair dealership inspected the vehicle. 4. No warning lamps or anything appears. 5. The vehicle issues information was sent to Honda.com on August 9, 2022.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. UPDATED 10/26/16*LJ *TR

A PASSENGER IN THE CAR WAS BRINGING THE WINDOW DOWN. THE PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR, JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR WITH A LOUD NOISE. THE WINDOW DID NOT SHATTER BUT THE WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL UP. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THE DOOR HAD TO BE TAKEN APART TO FIX THE WINDOW. ALSO, WE REPLACED THE PASSENGER DOOR AND DRIVER DOOR ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNITS. THE FIRST TIME, THE WINDOW DID NOT WORK. THE SECOND TIME BOTH UNITS WERE REPLACED, THE WINDOW CAN NOW BE CONTROLLED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE. SINCE THEN, A NUMBER OF OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY (2003-2005) HAVING THIS EXACT ISSUE HAVE SURFACED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE DEALER NOT THE CONSUMER. *TR
