“While driving my 2004 Honda Odyssey would completley stahl without any warning, just shut off.. I got the fuel relay replaced and it still stahled numerous times but started back up soon after.. Almost causing numerous accidents just stopping while driving.. Now my van has stahled and this time it will not restart. I have looked up recalls and found one that made sense for a 2004 Honda Odyssey for a fuel pump wire thst has corrosion causing the car to stahl. My vans VIN doesnt fall under this recall....???”
NHTSA complaint #11091097, filed 2018-04, 200,000 miles“I own Honda odessy since 09/ 2017. I replaced timing belt with one year warranty, because the previous owner did not do it. 12/09/16 I took my Honda odessy 2004 to manhattan Honda dealership for recall. I asked to Honda representative to check and tell me what is necessary to replace or repair.

NHTSA complaint #11000615, filed 2017-06, 172,963 miles“I was driving to school, and the transmission was acting funny. I drove it approximately 30 miles to our dealership. Luckily I made it. The highest speed I could go was almost 40mph. Pulled into the dealership at 8:30a.m. And waited. Was given the news that it was the transmission, and it was almost $6,000.00 to replace. They had me. Didn't know what to do...and had to pick up kids at school at 3;30p.m. Ended up sinking $40,000.00 into a new 2014 Odyssey. Boy do I feel taken! And then to find out there was a problem with Honda transmissions from 1999. …”
NHTSA complaint #10608575, filed 2014-07, 111,438 miles“Vehicle will stall sparadically within the first five minutes of driving. Vehicle can either be cold or previously driven and stall will occur. Once stall occurs the engine will restart without a problem. Stall can occur as many as three times daily or not for several days. At a stop sign I pressed the accelerator to turn onto oncoming traffic going at approximately 60 MPH and the vehicle stalled in the inetrsection. Both my young children and I were nearly killed. The problem has been reported to the dealer and Honda as well. …”
NHTSA complaint #10162937, filed 2006-07, 40,000 miles“My van continues to stall. The fuel pump and fuel pump relay was replaced in late september, but the van continues to have the same problem. It will start, run for 1-3 seconds, and shut down. It will take anywhere from one try one hour worth of tries to get it to start up again. The van has left my family stranded on several occasions. I have contacted the Honda dealer, and they tell me this is normal. I don't believe a vehicle with 7000 miles normally does not start, and can take up to one hour to start. …”
