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.

This vehicle was purchased second hand in 2012 and immediately needed to have its automatic transmission replaced at a cost of $3,000. even now there IS occasional slipage of the new transmission, which indicates to me it may not be long for this world. it's painfully obvious honda built and installed sup par transmissions for many years, despite mountains of complaints from consumers. they should be taken to task for poor design, engineering and customer support.

The population of 116,000 vehicles IS an estimate based on american honda motor company (ahm) data identifying original state of sale or delivery.the subject vehicles (sv) utilize light weight coil springs manufactured from high strength steel (hss).if the coating material of a hss spring IS breached, corrosive elements (salt) may attack the spring.spring corrosion results in a stress riser and may cause a fracture.depending on the location where the spring breaks, the jagged edge may pierce the tire; a rapid deflation of the tire may occur and can result in a loss of control or crash.sv spring failure mechanics and tire contact likelihood are discussed in an ahm presentation to odi dated april 20TH, 2006 (available on odi?s web site; www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov).ahm?s presentation identified two mechanisms which cause the spring coating to become breached; 1) contact with the lower spring seat, and 2) entrapment of abrasive materials between the silencer tube and spring.the presentation compared sv spring fracture rates to the honda MDX model, a sister vehicle recalled for front spring fracture under nhtsa recall 05v385, and to other vehicles investigated and or recalled for front spring fracture.the spring fracture rate for the sv, which IS about half the rate of the MDX model even though the sv's have one year longer in service, IS comparable to rates observed in prior spring fracture investigations that were closed with no recall and low in comparison to investigations that have resulted in a safety recall.of the 7 reports odi identified alleging tire damage due to spring fracture, 6 involved spring-tire contact which resulted in slow or no loss of air pressure; odi was unable to verify the one report alleging a puncture occurred.odi notes that the sv front spring differs from the MDX spring in that it has a single silencer tube (upper only, as opposed to upper and lower on the MDX) which IS, according to ahm, located in an area less likely to result in a tire puncture should a fracture occur.a defect trend has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources IS not warranted.accordingly, this investigation IS closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist.the agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
