2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Electrical System 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.

AFTER THE SLIDING DOOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING, WE WAS STILL ABLE TO SWITCH OFF THE SWITCH AND OPEN/CLOSE IT MANUALLY A FEW TIMES. THE FOLLOWING MORNING TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING IT ONLY OPENED HALFWAY AND THEN WOULDNT LATCH CLOSED AS I TRIED THE SECOND TIME TO GET IT TO LATCH CLOSED THE WHOLE DOOR JUST FELL OFF TRACK. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED SITTING IN MY MOMS DRIVEWAY. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE SEEN WHAT WOULD HAD HAPPENED HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHEN IT CAME OFF SINCE MY 4 YEAR OLDS SEAT IS RIGHT THERE.

MY HUSBAND WENT TO THE STORE, CAME BACK FOR MY 3 YEAR OLD AND I. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND CAME INSIDE FOR 10 MINS, WHEN WE CAME OUT TO LEAVE, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS FILLED WITH SMOKE AND FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BELIEVES IT WAS THE SEAT MOTOR THAT MALFUNCTIONED.

CORROSION WITHIN THE FUEL PUMP WIRING CONNECTOR AND THE FUEL PUMP RETAINING NUT WAS CRACKED / BROKEN. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT WAS STALLING WHILE DRIVING, NO START CONDITION. TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE INDICATED THE FUEL PUMP WIRING CONNECTOR WAS FAULTY THE INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE CONNECTOR WAS CORRODED APPARENTLY FROM MOISTURE. THIS ISSUE IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY CONCERN CONSIDERING THE FAULTY CONNECTION CAN CAUSE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER -> LOSS OF POWER STEERING, AND THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP NUT CAN CAUSE GASOLINE FUMES TO ESCAPE CONTAINMENT WHICH MAY LEAD TO AN EXPLOSION / FIRE. IF THE CONNECTOR WAS JIGGLED THE FUEL PUMP WOULD INTERMITTENTLY OPERATE AND OR FAIL. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THE SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN # 04V42000 OR THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN #04-049, AND REFUSED TO MITIGATE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT OFFERING THE OPTION TO REPAIR THE ISSUE OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL WHICH WOULD COST THE CUSTOMER $454.32 FOR THE FUEL...

HI THERE, I HAVE ISSUES WITH IGNITION CYLINDER LOCK SYSTEM AND LOOKS LIKE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE MODEL/YEAR OF HONDA ODYSSEY I CURRENTLY OWN. I WAS WONDERING IF THE RECALL MISSED OTHER BATCHES OF HONDA ODYSSEY VANS MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME TIME. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH RECALL FOR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY THANKS, RAJ

THE KEY WOULD FREQUENTLY FALL OUT OF THE LOCK, OR GET STUCK IN THE LOCK. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE INTERLOCK LEVER IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. WE WERE UNABLE TO IMMEDIATELY BRING OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS OUR SOLE SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. WHILE I WAS AWAY IN CALIFORNIA ATTENDING MY AUNT'S MEMORIAL, THE KEY TO THE VEHICLE FAILED TO FUNCTION WHETHER IN PARK OR OTHERWISE. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER BROKE THE KEY OFF IN THE LOCK TRYING TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL, BECAUSE THE SWITCH WOULD NOT PROPERLY RELEASE THE KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER TO APPLY THE RECALL REPAIR TO THE INTERLOCK LEVER *AND ANY OTHER NECESSARY PART OF THE IGNITION SWITCH* PER THE RECALL NOTICE. AFTER REPLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE DECIDED THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE AND REFUSED TO...

I WAS COMING OUT OF APARTMENT PARKING LOT AND SUDDENLY CAR STOPPED. I HAVE TO TOWED CAR TO HERB CHAMBER OF HONDA IN WESTBOROUGH, MA. TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT IT IS A COMPUTER FAILURE. I AM NOT SURE WHY COMPUTER FAIL AS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT MY USED NOT TO START AFTER PARKING. TO START I HAD TO INSERT KEY AND MOVE GEAR FROM PARKING TO D1 AND MOVE IT BACK TO P AND IT STARTED ALL THE TIME. I NOT SURE THIS IS A COMPUTER ISSUE. THEY ARE CHARGING ME $1500.00 FOR THIS. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP TO RESOLVE THIS. SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR I AM HAVING ISSUES, MY CAR PAINT IS PEELING OFF TOO, WITHOUT CORROSION OR SCRATCH. *TR

I TOOK OUR 2004 ODYSSEY MINI VAN TO OUR HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. WHILE THERE, THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THREE OF THE FOUR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN, RESULTING IN A $858.78 REPAIR. THE DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT UNCOMMON IN VEHICLES WITH 100,000. WE'VE HAD CARS MUCH OLDER THAN THIS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM! IF IT'S "NOT UNCOMMON" IN HONDA ODYSSEYS, I THINK IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. PERHAPS ANOTHER RECALL FROM HONDA IS DUE. *TR

ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION TWICE, THE A/C SYSTEM 3 TIMES AND STARTER. NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS AND WINDOWS AND RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT SEIZED ONE AFTERNOON. ALL SERVICE INTERVALS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED AS WITH MY OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD TIRES AND FLUID CHANGES WITH NO OTHER FIXES. THE PAINT CONTINUES TO FLAKE OFF EVEN AFTER HONDA OF CONCORD, NC REPAINTED HALF OF THE VEHICLE. 2 YEARS AGO. VEHICLE HAS LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED ON DOZENS OF OCCASIONS ALONG WITH THE VEHICLE'S 9TH BATTERY SINCE 2004. SELLING THIS VEHICLE IS NOT AN OPTION BUT REPLACING IT IS. IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT EVER AND I CAUTION ANYONE WHO IS EVER IN THE MARKET FOR ONE OF THESE VANS TO AVOID THEM AT ALL COST. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE...

I BOUGHT A HONDA ODYSSEY EX ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE BACK DOORS BEGAN OPENING ON THEIR OWN AS I WAS DRIVING AND WOULDN'T CLOSE. THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING OIL. I PAID TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS FROM THE HONDA DEALER SHIP WHICH COST ME 235.00. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT IT WITH 64KM AND NOW IT HAS 70KM. I'VE PAID 5,500 SO FAR AND I STILL OWE 10,000. *TR

2004 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. THE IGNITION SWITCH AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE RELAY SWITCH IN THE STEERING COLUMN WOULD BEGIN TO ACTIVATE WHILE DRIVING PRODUCING AN ELECTRIC ODOR. THE TURN SIGNAL RELAY SWITCH WAS REPLACED AT APPROX 110,000 MILES. THE IGNITION SWITCH IS NOW BEING REPLACED BECAUSE THE IGNITION KEY CANNOT BE INSERTED TO START THE CAR ROUTINELY WITHOUT BEING MANIPULATED. WHEN THIS CAR WAS RELATIVELY NEW AND UNDER WARRANTY THE FAN SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR NOW HAS 150,000 MILES. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE STEERING COLUMN ARE DEFECTIVE AND THAT THE TURN SIGNAL RELAY SWITCH HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BURN; AND THE IGNITION SWITCH COULD FAIL DURING OPERATION OF THE CAR. THE IGNITION SWITCH IS A DEFECTIVE PART, OR THE PART IS FROM AN...
