Filed Jun 6, 2018 · Electrical, Fuel system · 129,105 miles · OH

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 pump repair kit in addition to service fees of at least $374.00. The vehicle was initially towed-in and presented for service on june of 2018. The honda dealer is providing wiring harness, retaining nut and gasket at a cost to the customer.

I own honda odessy since 09/ 2017. I replaced timing belt with one year warranty, because the previous owner did not do it. 12/09/16 I took my honda odessy 2004 to manhattan honda dealership for recall. I asked to honda representative to check and tell me what is necessary to replace or repair. I knew that transmission recall for honda odessy 2004 was open and told them to check and repair it if it is necessary, but they refused to do it they told me that my honda has many issues and repair all necessary things will cost me $10000. The fuel pump, timing belt, which I already replaced, and transmission clutch was included in the repair list. Last month I had a very bad experience when driving this car. It was loosing power and stopping when I was driving. It was dangerous for traffic. It occur on very dangerous spats, like exits from hgway, brooklyn bridge etc., I could start up car in 5 minutes and it was drawing with no problems then. It was a few times like this and the last time I drove home and couldn't start up the car no more. I towed car to repair shop and mechanic told me that my fuel pump needs to be replaced. I came home and started research and found the recall for honda odessy fuel pump, for honda odessy that was built on and after 06/21/04 is on recall for fuel pump repair or replace. My honda odessy was built 06/2004 I replaced the fuel pump and car is running very good now and I do not have this problem again. Because I had the fuel pump problem after my car was on recall, and because they knew that fuel pump replace was included in recall, and they knew that my car has this problem and did not fixed it I am hereby asking the honda dealership to reimburse money that I spent on fuel pump repair $653.03. I also asking honda dealership to check again a transmission and repair it, if it is necessary.

When traveling down the passing lane of a 4 lane highway in heavy traffic at 60 MPH the vehicle suddenly lost power and began to slow as if the brakes were on. Fortunately I was able to pull over to the side of the road without anyone running in to me. Upon getting to the side of the road I noticed that the engine light was on. I put the gear shift lever into park and walked around the van to see if any fluids were leaking. None were. I got back into the van to see if it would move. It finally did after moving the shifter from p to d a few times but it did not have the power and did not shift correctly. The code that turned up on my mechanics scanner showed that the transmission had slipped and would need replacing. I called honda and they said there was nothing that they could do for me eventhough there has been numerous issues with these transmissions. The only recall they acknowledge was the fuel pump for my van. The outcome of the event could have been much more serious and I feel honda is just turning a blind eye to this. If this caused a serious accident I question what they would say after a lawyer gave them a call. They should have at least attempted to negotiate a deal for a new transmission. This will be the last time honda does this to me. I have owned many gm vehicles with more mileage and never had experienced a transmission failure. After spending over $3500 on a rebuilt transmission I don't believe another honda will be in my driveway!

My van continues to stall. The fuel pump and fuel pump relay was replaced in late september, but the van continues to have the same problem. It will start, run for 1-3 seconds, and shut down. It will take anywhere from one try one hour worth of tries to get it to start up again. The van has left my family stranded on several occasions. I have contacted the honda dealer, and they tell me this is normal. I don't believe a vehicle with 7000 miles normally does not start, and can take up to one hour to start. They also have told me that I am flooding the vehicle-even though I am not touching the footfeet and have always driven a fuel injected vehicle. My husband and I are to the point that we do not even want the vehicle, but our dealer does not seem to take us seriously. I read a complaint that a customer filed stating metal was sent throughout her vehicles fuel lines. How can the service department check to see if this is what has happened to my vehicle. The service department continually tells me they can do nothing unless the service engine light comes on. This has yet to happen. I am very tired of being stranded by my brand new vehicle.

My 2004 honda odyssey has lurched and loss forward power/motion for just a few seconds while driving normally at speed between 40-60 MPH. This has happened during the first 7500 miles. Cruise control was not on during these events. I have checked recalls and other owners and found similar comments. This could cause an accident if passing or additional power is needed while driving up incline. Have had fuel pump recall item corrected. Please investigate!
