TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT HAS TO HOLD THE NOZZLE TO ADD FUEL TO THE TANK. THE FUEL WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED FOR TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V420000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP); HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT INDICATE THE RESULTS. ON OCTOBER 18, 2007, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS ENGINE FAILURE AND AIR CONDITIONER WIRES WERE HANGING, WHICH COULD POSSIBLY BE RELATED TO THE COOLANT SYSTEM. THE CONTACT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE ESTIMATED PREVIOUS FAILURE WAS ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2007. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE WAS ON OCTOBER 29, 2007. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 39,500.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OUR BRAND NEW 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING ELITE JUDDERS BETWEEN 25-40 MPH BETWEEN SHIFTS. THE JUDDER CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM MILD AND VERY TRANSIENT TO ROUGH BUCKING THAT LASTS FOR OVER 2 SECONDS BEFORE IT SMOOTHS OUT. UNDER MILD OR HEAVY ACCELERATION, I HAVE NOT NOT NOTICED THE JUDDER. IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION. IT ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE VIOLENTLY WHILE GOING UPHILL. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST 90% OF THE TIME DURING THE SHIFT BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS UNDER MODERATE (TYPICAL) ACCELERATION. THIS JUDDER RESULTS IN A LOSS OF EXPECTED ACCELERATION AND DECREASED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND FEEL THAT HONDA MUST RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST THE 2012 MODEL YEAR. *TT
