2002 Honda Odyssey Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Automatic doors sometimes fail to close completely, stopping mid-way. Need to restart car to close them. Warning lights (all) lit up multiple times on several occasions for about 2 minutes each time; then went off.

The time was approximately 1 pm on hot sunny day. When new windshield was installed it was discovered the wiper motor assembly near base of wiper shaft was cracked. On a Honda odessey van the rear window wiper shaft is installed through hole in windshield and the motor assembly was housed inside liftgate.”

When I called the dealer they said thery have been getting a lot of calls. …”

The dealer claimed only to have checked the oil dip stick and installed the oil jet kit. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer on march 8, 2007 due to every light on the dashboard becoming illuminated. The contact discovered that a new transmission was needed. The failure mileage was 61,000. …”

“The consumer heard noises coming from the vehicle's transmission. The vehicle pulled to the right, the electronic equipment light would go on and off for no reason, the air bag light had come on, transmission failed, the gears would not shift easily, the RPM arrow would erratically swing from different levels while the transmission was struggling to shift gears, the tcs light was intermittent along with the engine light and the heater exhilarated a loud sound when in use.”
