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?.

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. Upon inspection, the dealer determined that transmission only needed to have an additional cooling line run through the transmission and a flushing. After the recall remedy began having problems with the transmission. While driving, there have been several almost accidents due to a malfunction of the transmission stalling. After the most recent incident, the vehicle was towed to the dealer. Upon examination, the dealer determined that the transmission needed to be replaced but they will not replace the transmission under recall. The consumer also experienced brake problems.

Vehicle: 2002 Honda Odyssey, purchased 11/2004. Rear brake makes clunking noise when backing or changing direction. First bring to attentation to sales dealer, norm reeves Honda, mechanic says normal sound on this model. I rebutted with "I own both a accord and civic, they don't have this sound". That's just this model. Second time, brought to attentation to goudy Honda, service advisor said, that's normal on this model. I gave the same rebuttal. They replied with on next visit, they will grease the brake, the sound will disappear. I did bring it next time for oil change. Service advisor said they greased it, but sound is still there. Third time, call Honda corporate, rep said that's normal. Ask if there're any known problem, rep said no. I ask him to check, he said he's sure there's nothing wrong with car. Just have the dealer replace the brake & pay for it. Went on internet, found many Odyssey owner have same problem. Also found Honda even has a TSB out. Number of failures, too many to mention, it's daily. Why doesn't dealer nor the Honda admit the problem! have not report the following problem to neither dealer nor Honda. The srs indicator light came on one day, I turn off engine & turn engine back on. The indicator light went away. This reminds me of another strange thing happended a few months back. While driving on freeway. All the sudden, a bunch of indicator lights came on, can't remember which, the lights went off a few seconds later.

Consumer heard an unusual noise from right rear brake area. Dealership could not duplicate the problem. The noise came from the right wheel area, when the brake was applied.
