Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2005 Honda Odyssey

On June 15, 2015 my 2005 Honda Odyssey airbag system light came on and stayed until now, I was scared due to airbag might blown out or causing any trouble while vehicle in use or worst something happen. I took my vehicle to Honda dealer on June 16, and I was told no recalls. They did some diagnose and I was told it was the seat belt buckle and wiring on driver side, the buckle was replace (free of charge), but the wiring cost $550 to have it fix. I refused the service due to no sense and not enough evidence to prove the issue. I did some research and found same issue on same vehicle that has airbag system lights on dashboard. I do believe that the dealer should address this as recall especially if the vehicle never been in accident. Please let me know if there is anything you can do to address this issue. Thanks.

Crank shaft pulley separated from hub and caused sudden & total loss of power steering while in motion.

While driving on !-25 south, the car started to choke and almost completely stalled while on the left lane. Tried to merge right and slow down the car. The brakes would not respond. The car was still choked and then gives in and goes again. Took the first exit and continues to press on the brakes to slow down the car. It continued on for a while before reaching a complete stop. After stopping, checked the engine for leaks or smoke and there was nothing. I started the car again and it seem to start fine. Then there was some kind of light noise. I drove it to just the other side of the highway where where there were some stores. Took it to the dealer that just performed preventive timing belt replacement. Said that they found broken/seized spark plug in cylinder 2. The work was done at 76000. Current miles is 77990. The issue seem to be happening to 2005 Honda Odyssey.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the auto tensioner was faulty on his vehicle. Whenever it rains, the undercarriage of the vehicle and the driver belt become wet, which causes the auto tensioner not to pull the slack out of the belt. As a result, the power steering fails and the battery stops charging. The dealer stated that there were no recalls for this failure and advised the contact to call the Honda manufacturer. He took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that they could not check the auto tensioner because they could not locate it under the vehicle. The contact had previously taken his vehicle to another mechanic, who was able to locate the auto tensioner. The failure mileage was 52,000.

All of the warning lights then simultaneously illuminated and the vehicle completely shut off. The vehicle was towed and the mechanic stated that the harmonic balancer fell from the engine. The current and failure mileages were 37,000. Updated 01-14-08. The consumer stated the harmonic balancer came apart dislodging the bottom pulley shaft which threw off the serpentine belt.
