problem #1

Odyssey

  • Automatic transmission
  • 105,261 miles
July 2002, I took my Odyssey to a Honda dealer because I was having several electrical problems: 1. my SRS light came on and wouldn't go off. 2. my ABS light had also begun to go on and off. 3. my power locks would lock uncontrollably and drain battery. I asked them to take a look. After $160 diagnostic charge, I was told the following: Code 8-3 present on SRS. Cleared code and test drove. Light remained off for drive. Suggest replacing airbag if light comes on again. Probably a sensor problem. Cost $748 code 44 present on ABS. Right rear wheel speed sensor is faulty. Suggest replacing sensor. Cost $283 electronic locks need new lock unit. Cost $256 I was shocked that repairs would cost another $1300. After discussing these problems with the dealer and being told the issues were probably all sensor malfunctions, I opted not to pay for repairs. Just after driving off, my SRS and ABS lights came back on and have remained on ever since. Now, after seeing the numerous complaints by other Odyssey owners and learning that the airbags may actually not work, I am reporting my experience as well... I just bought a Chevy.
