2002 HONDA ODYSSEY Recalls, Complaints & Safety

The van completely shuts down no matter where I am. When I try to turn it back on the green key light DOES NOT appear on the dash. The van will still crank but will not turn over. Until the green key light appears on the left side of the dash. I have to sit anywhere from 5 minutes up until 8 hours one day. It does this 3 to 4 times a day. The only warning I get is the green key will start flashing on the dash that's when I know it has shut down. I feel like it has something to do with the immobilizer. Because of the green key. I have changed my key fob battery , regular battery, checked all the fuses. This is very dangerous, it has left my family and myself in some deadly positions. Dar and raining it has shut off on the highway with barely any shoulder to pull off on. Cars and trucks driving past at 60 to 70 miles per hour in the dark and rain a few times we were almost hit. There is nothing I can do but sit and wait for the green key to appear then I know we are in safe zone again until u expectantly it decides to do it again. 😩This is so frustrating leaving for work or appointments I have no clue what time to leave because the shut down is random. I have searched many videos on how to disengage the immobilizer or these click your key 6 times forwards and backwards press the lock and unlock on key fob. NOTHING HAS WORKED. When I purchased the vehicle he gave me all 3 keys I'm assuming valet and 2 main keys and the key fob. Please anybody know anything please help me and my family have came very close to death numerous occasions. I don't know what else to do. I have my grandbabies and this is our only means of transportation. Thank you [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was involved in a traffic collision on December 15, 2023. The California DMV requires a brake and light inspection for a salvage retention reregistration of my car. After going to two brake and light shops they will not perform a brake and light inspection due to a recall P30 04V-176. I went to a Honda dealer to get the recall fixed and they said they cannot or will not perform the recall as it is not needed. Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue as I don’t see what and why the brake and light inspections cannot be done and I need them completed.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The transmission How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When I was on the highway the car lost power and I was almost rear-ended by a car when I was stopped on the freeway on my way to the doctor. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, I am a recent buyer and do not have much information about previous problems with this vehicle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, when it broke down, I just called the tow truck and they transported it to a mechanic and the mechanic put the machine in to find out what the fault was, and he told me and showed me that the fault was in the transmission and the cost would be $1800 to $2000 dollars or so to fix it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, before the breakdown the car turned on a light that I didn't recognize but I kept going because I was on the freeway and a few meters ahead the accelerator didn't respond, so I had to pull off the road to call the tow truck. Personal, I don't have any documents to prove this because logically I don't have $2000 dollars to fix the transmission. When I was with the mechanic and he checked the car he just showed me and said what it meant. the light that came on the dashboard. Also, yesterday I received this paper and it said that if the car shows up with more faults to come in with the code that comes on the document. I found it strange to receive it because according to me when I bought the car, everything was in good condition and now the transmission is not working, apart from the air bag. For these reasons I would like to know how I can take the car to them, if it does not walk and to get it to them, I have to take the tow truck.

06/04/2021 2002 Honda Odyssey - Aftermarket Fuel Pump Lock Ring - Multiple Failures Safety Issue = Gasoline leaking out of the tank onto the ground. Starting in 2019, three aftermarket fuel pump lock rings have failed on one 2002 Honda Odyssey. The lock rings were all made of plastic. The OEM Honda lock ring was also made of plastic and after 17 years did not fail, but was replaced when a new fuel pump was installed. A DELPHI model FG0956 fuel pump had two lock ring failures. The third lock ring failure was on a AIRTEX model E8642M fuel pump. The torque spec per Honda for the fuel pump lock ring is a hefty 69 FT LBS or 93 NM. An SK click type torque wrench model 73100 was used on the installs, as was a fuel tank lock ring tool LISLE model 63000. All the lock rings were at first hand tightened to prevent cross threading before using the torque wrench. The SK torque wrench used has never been known to over torque bolts. The third lock ring for AIRTEX was torqued to about 60 FT LBS due to the prior failures. No warning lights or messages appeared when the lock ring fails. All failed within one year of install. Failure detected by noticing the smell of gasoline, especially outside the vehicle and sometimes inside the vehicle. Each of the failed lock rings split, and then gasoline starts leaking out of the top of the tank at the fuel pump and onto the ground. The fuel pump will start to rise above the tank due to it being spring loaded and the lock ring failing. The problem is most noticeable after filling the fuel tank, and when the vehicle is exposed to high outside air temperatures. If you look under the vehicle, a puddle of gasoline on the ground is sometimes visible just below the fuel pump. If the failure is not yet severe enough, you will not see a puddle but may still smell gasoline. A local auto parts store recommended purchasing an OEM Honda lock ring due to the aftermarket failures and the hefty Honda torque spec of 69 FT LBS on a plastic ring.

MY VEHICLE TELLS ME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ISNT WORKING THEN IT TURNS OFF SO SOMETHING ELECTRONICLY IS MESSED UP.

THIS COMPLAINT IS A CORRECTION TO COMPLAINT 11375900 WHICH REFERENCED AN INCORRECT RECALL NUMBER. REMOVAL OF THE IGNITION KEY WHEN THE GEAR SELECTOR IS NOT IN PARK ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY WHEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. THIS SYMPTOM IS IDENTICAL TO RECALL 12V573000 WHICH MY HONDA DEALER SAYS APPLIES ONLY TO MODEL YEARS 2003 AND 2004. HOWEVER THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS IT COULD APPLY TO VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AS EARLY AS NOVEMBER 2001. MY VAN WAS MANUFACTURED IN 11/01.

AFTER SPENDING MONEY TO GET CAR FIX. FOUND OUT THERE ARE AT LEAST 60 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. I ONLY GOTTEN 7 OR 8 RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MY WIFE HAS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH A RECALL NOTICE FOR A PCM. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER IS P48, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 04V-176. THE VEHICLE VIN IS [XXX]. THE ISSUE IS REGARDING A PCM RECALL FOR 2002 ODYSSEY WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION, WHICH MY WIFE?S CAR DOES NOT HAVE. HER CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TAKEN IS WEST BROAD HONDA IN RICHMOND VIRGINIA. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL, IT IS A SERVICE BULLETIN, SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE CASE MANAGER AT HONDA AGREED AS WELL THAT IT IS A SERVICE BULLETIN AND DOES NOT PERTAIN TO MY CAR. I TALKED TO THE CASE MANAGER LAST ON MONDAY APRIL 29, AND DESPITE LEAVING MESSAGES SINCE THEN FOR HER TO CALL ME WITH A STATUS UPDATE, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY SUBMITTED A ?FIXED BY INSPECTION? REPORT TO HONDA ON MONDAY, BUT THERE IS STILL A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS THE PROBLEM: I AM IN THE MILITARY, AND I HAVE TO DROP THIS CAR OFF NEXT WEEK FOR SHIPMENT TO MY NEXT DUTY STATION IN ALASKA. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT A VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS REQUIRED THAT I PROVIDE PROOF THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL, AND I CANNOT DO THAT BECAUSE OF THIS. I TRULY HAVE NO OTHER RECOURSE, AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ON MY END TO FIX THIS. FURTHERMORE, IT REALLY SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTINUALLY CALL ABOUT GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED.

3RD GEAR HAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT, IT SLIPS WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN OPENED AND 3RD GEAR CLUTCH PACK IS COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND SPRING IS WARPED AND WAS STUCK IN 3RD CLUTCH DRUM. TRANSMISSION FAILURE

TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT P0740 AND P0430 - NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND DIAGNOSED ERROR CODES P0740. TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE, SLIPS WITH NO DRIVE POWER. PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORST. REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION AS PER DEALER AT COST OF $5,900. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED SEVERAL 100,000S OF 2002 TO 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY VANS AND OTHER HONDA MODELS WITH SAME TRANSMISSION. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS AND STILL HAS DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR THEM. HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN AND DISCUSSED AT LENGTH ON ONLINE HONDA FORUMS AND AT DEALERSHIPS, TO A POINT WHERE NOBODY IS WILLING TO BUY THESE USED VEHICLES AT BLUEBOOK MARKET VALUE. THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IS $5900, IN EXCESS OF CURRENT VEHICLE MARKET VALUE. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, HONDA HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR ODYSSEY TRANSMISSIONS UP TO MODEL YEAR 2001. THIS HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE YEAR 2003, WHEN THE 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS RELATIVELY NEW, HENCE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IN 2001 AND 2002 MODEL YEAR ARE SAME. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE HONDA KNEW OF THIS TRANSMISSION DESIGN PROBLEM WHICH CONTINUES PAST MODEL YEAR 2001. THEY USED THE SAME TRANSMISSION TILL MODEL YEAR 2004. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO RECALL ODYSSEY TRANSMISSIONS FROM 2002 TO 2004 AS WELL AND REPAIR THEM UNDER WARRANTY. SEVERAL OTHER HONDA VEHICLES MODELS ARE ALSO IMPACTED BY THIS POOR TRANSMISSION DESIGN. THEN WHY HAS HONDA NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA INVESTIGATE FURTHER LEVERAGING ON THE 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY RECALL TO EXPEDITE A RESOLUTION FORCING HONDA TO RECALL FOR REPAIRS. THANK YOU.

WE TRADED THIS VEHICLE IN 2006 FOR ANOTHER MODEL -BUT WE STILL GET CALLS AND LETTERS ABOUT THIS RECALL. WE HAVE NOT OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2006, BUT WE STILL GET CALLS AND LETTERS. WE HAVE REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES VIA THE MAIL IN CARDS, WE HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WE HAVE CALLED NHTSA, WE HAVE CALLED DMV, BUT APPARENTLY HONDA'S FILES ARE NOT BEING UPDATED AND THEY KEEP OVER-WRITING CORRECTIONS EVERYWHERE ELSE. PLEASE REMOVE US FROM THE LIST OF AFFECTED OWNERS. WE DO NOT OWN THIS VEHICLE
