“Takata recalls the backrest of the front seats are broken and reclined backwards. This was caused by a rear impact when I was at a stop I think this can be very dangerous for the passengers of the second line of seats...Honda oddysey ex 2000”
NHTSA complaint #11093450, filed 2018-05, 165,000 miles“Dt: the caller said the passenger side sliding door opens without warning. It happens when driving. The indicator light comes on , and the alarm goes off. The caller says the door does not open all the way. Had it to the dealer 10 times for this problem. Dealer said it was dirty connections and did not do anything to fix it. Manufacturer will offer no help for free. Also, the caller received a recall letter concerning gas recirculation valve ( EGR valve). The manufacturer will not approve the recall work. Also wanted to take vehicle to the dealer. …”
NHTSA complaint #10136974, filed 2005-10, 45,000 miles“The seat-back of the driver seat will start tilting back automacticly. It happened all when the key is in the off position. When this happened, the driver seat presses down on to the passanger's thigh/knee who seats behind the driver. It won't stop until I pull the adjustment switch. When it happened, my 3 years old daughter sat on her car set, behind the driver seat was crying, and my 8 years old son was screaming. My daugther had bruises on her thigh which was caused by this.”
NHTSA complaint #724855, filed 2000-07“The contact owns a 2000 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle was severely corroded on the passenger and driver side. As a result, the seats could not be latched into the vehicle. In addition, the seat lock detached and left a hole in the lock area. The vehicle was taken to dealer where it was confirmed that the corrosion was severe; however, a remedy could not be offered. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 232,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10825323, filed 2016-02, 232,000 miles“Middle row seats can be configured as bench seats or captains chairs. In the bench seat configuration, the passenger is not safely restrained from a side or corner impact. The passenger can slip out of the seat belt on impact, risking injury or death. I compensated for this when my son was in a booster seat by strapping the booster seat to the seat but now that he is no longer in a booster seat he is not restrined by the seatbelt. Putting him in the seats in the captains chair configuration puts him at risk since he would then be next to the door and point of impact. …”
