NHTSA Complaint #10457483 — 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY

ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, THE WINDOW ACTUATOR FAILED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, I PAID TO REPAIR THIS. OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS, ANOTHER 4 ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. ONE OF THEM IS THE LOCK ACTUATOR ON PASSENGER SIDE, SECOND IS THE LOCK ACTUATOR ON LEFT SLIDING DOOR, ANOTHER IS THE WINDOW ACTUATOR ON DRIVER SIDE AND THE ACTUATOR FOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK. THE PROBLEMS OF THIS MAGNITUDE ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE WINDOW ACTUATOR ON DRIVER SIDE SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND WAS SCARY AS THE WINDOW JUST FELL INTO THE DOOR. THE OTHER ACTUATORS FAILING WITH LOCKS AND DOORS CAN BE A SERIOUS PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WHERE THE WINDOW OR DOOR SUDDENLY OPENS OR CLOSES. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT PROBLEM THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY A NATIONAL RECALL. *TR
