There was a recall back on 4/25/00 for the door latch assembly. The recall # was 00V119000. I'm having the same exact problem again with the door not closing all the way. I called hennessey Honda in woodstock, ga and they told me that they didn't have that recall on record. Then they went on to say that they won't fix it again. I checked the history of the vehicle recalls and don't see where this was done. Why should I have to pay for this repair when it was already determined that it's a manufacturer defect" is there a time limit on how long Honda will fix this repair for free"

The passenger side sliding door on my 1999 Honda Odyssey has failed to open on many occasions and I didn't think of it as anything more than a nuisance. This time one of my children's fingers was caught in the door and we were unable to open the door either from the inside or the outside for several minutes until we got a passerby to force it open. His finger was significantly more damaged than if we had been able to immediately open the door, not to mention the panic and distress and being trapped.

While driving on the highway the engine just quit, causing a loss of power, power steering, power braking, etc.... fortunately I was able to nurse the car to a spot along the highway to pull over. I was able to get the car restarted after a couple of minutes, and it continued to run fine until I was exiting the freeway, and the engine quit again while approaching the exit ramp. I coasted to the top of the exit ramp and was able to get the car restarted at the top of the exit ramp and drove home. I subsequently took the car to the Honda dealership, where they diagnosed the problem as a faulty ignition switch.

On May 8, 2010: To customer service; I purchased 98T futura 2000 lte part number 8694568 2156516 and when I was on I95, I had to exit to go to the nearest dealer of tires (hoping to avoid a towing bill) being Firestone tire place just off of I95 at the palm beach lakes blvd. Area in palm beach county, Florida. Your tire acted like a flat tire would being on a major highway. Your tire was looking very wavy and when taken off the vehicle looked like a partial twisted pretzel. I got my vehicle re-aligned, as well as, purchased a new Firestone tire! replacing tire with approx. Less than 30 days from your tire purchase. I was going out-of-town to my dad's home, a trip approx. 100 miles away one way when this happened in route.

On August 9, 2010, our 1999 Honda Odyssey ex stalled while we were idling on an open drawbridge, on hwy 42 in sturgeon bay, wi. This is a two lane bridge, probably nearly a mile long, with no shoulder, so we were looking at a major traffic problem had we not been able to restart the car about a minute later and drive off the bridge. Two days later, August 11, the car stalled while moving on port Washington rd, in glendale, wi. At that point the instrument panel went dark. This time, we were able to coast to a stop in the right lane of 4 lane road, and were again able to restart the car, this time within about 30 seconds. The Honda dealer's service department traced the problem to the electrical portion of the ignition switch and replaced the switch. We had the identical problem in 2004, with the Odyssey once stalling on a busy freeway at 60 mph in the center lane. At that time there was recall in effect for this problem and the faulty ignition switch was replaced free of charge. The safety recall needs to renewed for this problem as these switches seem to last about 5 years and then go bad again. We are lucky we did not need to be towed a mile across a bridge, with 4 miles of cars backed up behind us.

On June 28, our 1999 Honda Odyssey LX lost all electrical power and engine power while traveling on I-94 E bound between battle creek mi and the exit to I-69. The emergency flashers would not activate. We were able to coast to a stop on the shoulder, then after placing the car in park and switching off the ignition, I was able to restart the car. It ran fine for the next two hours, but the same thing happened while traveling South on I-75 North of dayton, oh. This time, I noticed the gauges came back on and was able to resume the cruise control and proceed with out stopping. In got case, traffic was not so heavy as to be a danger, and luckily we were not in the passing lane. The same failure occurred just before we made it onto our street, but for a shorter time and we continued home. The next night, while returning home on local streets, going about 35mph, this failure occurred again, but this time, we had the headlight on (it was about 9:15pm), and we lost all lighting (interior gauges and exterior). On June 30, the dealer was able to locate the problem - failed ignition switch electrical contacts. The dealer claims this car had been serviced for this problem previously as a result of a recall. I checked your online notices: May 16, 2002 NHTSA: 02V120000. Electrical system ignition switch. This recall needs to be re-issued for this safety related problem. We would have had serious problems in bad weather; loss of windshield wipers as well as lighting and brake lights. And at night, it could have been very bad on the highway.

The van suddenly shuts itself off (engine stalled, no radio, no lights on dash) while driving. It feels like a "parked" vehicle moving on the road.

- Richmond, 00, USA

The contact owns a 1999 Honda Odyssey. While driving at speeds of 80 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled and restarted without driver intent. The vehicle continued to proceed throughout the failure. The dealer stated that there were two previous recalls for the starter, both of which the vehicle received repairs under the recall campaign. The dealer stated that the manufacturer would not offer any assistance with any further repairs to the vehicle. Repairs would be made at the owners expense. The contact was concerned and did not believe that failure was caused by the starter; yet, that there could possibly be a defect in the ignition wires. The failure mileage was 212,000.

While driving down the highway the instruments on the dash went to zero and the engine shut down followed by all of the warning lights illuminating and the engine restarting. This cycle was repeated several times over an approximate five mile stretch. Shedding the electrical loads didn't seem to help the problem. The problem has returned on other occasions but is very intermittent. Now the engine is developing a starting problem. The van starts but dies immediately when you release the key. It sometimes takes multiple attempts before the van will remain running once the key is released. I found a recall from Honda for this issue. The faulty ignition switch was to be replaced with an improved issue for this very issue. I contacted sterling mccall Honda in kingwood, tx to have the switch replaced. They informed me that my van has the new style switch already installed so they refuse to cover the replacement of the faulty switch. Obviously the new switch that was supposed to fix this safety issue is not much better than the original. I feel that Honda should continue to replace the switches until they are able to design a switch that remedies their design flaw.

- Lubbock, TX, USA

1999 Honda Odyssey. Ignition switch failure. Contacted Honda and they told me it had already been addressed in 2002. I asked why wasn't it replaced with a switch that was of newer design and was told again that it has already been addressed. They will not replace. My complaint is that if they replace a recalled item with an item of the same defective design then are they honoring the recall? I would say no, they are only masking the problem without fixing it.

The minivan stalls and losses power (engine turns off and lights go out on the dash) while driving on the road (intermittently). We have already done the wire hardness recall and the ignition switch recall. The symptom takes place every couple of days. I guess I need to take the minivan to the dealer again. What a lemon. I am very dissatisfied with the Honda minivan. I would expect this issue from someone else but not from Honda. My wife almost crashed the first time it happened.
