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. Accord8ng to the mechanic friend, I could have gotten a new car after all the repairs from the recall. Call honda on this and they said it's your responsibility to ensure you take the car for recall repair. We are not responsible for missing recall letters, even if I never receive them

For a few months now I have noticed that when I make left turns, whether from a stopped position or a speed of 0-5mph, the van jerks and slows to a almost stop. I am afraid that it will shut down and cause a very serious accident one day. I have called honda a few times to inquire about it and nothing is being done. The breaks are only a year old and seems to work fine but there is a noise every time I push the brakes. Not the usual bad brakes sound but like a tapping sound. Also the 2 passenger sliding doors will not close or open at times as well as the back windows. The motors has been changed in the panel box, please what could it be and is there any help honda should be doing as they have stated these problems aren't under warranty?

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda odyssey. When appyling pressure to the brake pedal, the contact heard and felt a loud grinding noise. The dealer changed the brake shoes, but the problem still persists. The vehicle was inspected by two additional professional technicains and they advised her that nothing was wrong with the brake system. On two occasions, the sliding door would spontaneously open, allowing her children to exit the vehicle while in motion. The dealer could not duplicate the failure; however, they greased the rollers on the sliding door, which remedied the failure. Several months later, the vehicle was rear ended directly in the center of the vehicle by another vehicle traveling 35 MPH. None of the air bags deployed. There were no warning lights prior to the crash. The dealer was not notified. The cotnact took her vehicle to the dealer for the federal safety agency campaign id number 04v176000 (power train: automatic transmission). Because there was no discoloration in the transmission fluid, the dealer informed her that the vehicle could not be repaired until it showed signs of failure. The contact called the dealer when she began experiencing failures shifting gears, and they advised her that they would not repair the vehicle under the free remdey outlined in the recall. The dealer refused to provide an explanation. The contact is in the process of having the vehicle repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000 and current mileaege was 80,000. *updated 10/20/08 *bf updated 10/21/08.
There is popping noise when backing up and stopping. When I exit the highway and brake to slow down there is a sudden jerk as if I stepped on the brake hard. Occasionally, when braking, the indicator lights on the dash will flash on and then back off.
Dt*: the contact stated that prior to having transmission problems a recall letter # 04v176000 was received pertaining to the transmission 2nd gear inspection. The vehicle was taken to the dealers who stated that the recall was on a voluntary basis only and that they would inspect the vehicle.
