| 2002 honda civic complete loss of engine power braking going 15 mph. causing property damage. this complete loss of engine failere has been reported to dealers and been seen in many web forums. this time my son was driving when the engine failere light came on and brakes went out turning a corner. no air bag was ever deployed when he hit the curb and sign which should have as he hit a sign and tree stripping the front bumper off and crushed the radiator into the engine. no air bags wear ever deployed. even the police was concerned about that and questioned it . it happened in the city of hurst texas. in these forums many drivers have experienced loss of engine failere and brakes in some cases. honda just put out a recall on 1998-2000 for the engine ignition switch shorting out causing engine failere. i suggest they increase that recall to 2002 possibly. also i read where the electrical load detector is getting wet and shorting out causing the same thing in some cars. in one case i read that the vacumm hose to the brake booster may be bad. pumping the brakes can cause the engine to stall. so any case i think honda has a safety issue with engines stalling while consumers are driving. my son was lucky he was only driving 15 mph when it happened . if he would have been on the highway it could have been a loss of life. the vehicale is in the body shop getting fixed and after that will be driven to honda for an engine check. i hope the computer codes tell us something but i think honda needs to research this closly. | |||

| In july of 2002, i purchased a 2002 honda 919. immediately, i noticed that my jacket smelled of exhaust fumes. not the sulfur - rotten egg smell, but exhaust fumes. one friday afternoon in august 2002, i took my wife for a ride - she was the passenger. after about a 45-minute ride, she complained of a headache and was generally just feeling crappy. so much for our romantic afternoon. to top it all off, i took my 6 year old son for a ride, and in traffic, he fell asleep and about fell off the bike. he could have died, we were in traffic. i was able to grab him with one hand and pull over. i contacted my dealer, rob eidmann of st. joe honda (816-671-0671) on many occassions, and he could do nothing. i was in long beach at the international motorcycle and mentioned it to a honda representative, who passed me along to the national service manager, to whom i also told my story too. they were in denial, said they had no other complaints, and there was nothing they could do. to remedy the situation on my own, i paid for and installed an exhaust from another honda model that exits the bike lower. have not had the problem since, but am not real happy about this whole ordeal. i have learned that many other owners also have the same problem. what can we do?*ak | |||

| I received a recall letter in the mail from honda regarding my 2002 honda odyssey. in this letter, it clearly states that there is a problem with the transmission and water pump. hence i took my car into the honda dealership at norm reeve's honda - cerritos. after having my car at the service center for 2 days now ( i had to rent a car from enterprise), now they are telling me that i need to pay them $3,800 to replace my water pump. i am very upset that i am being treated this way. the letter clearly states that there is a recall on the transmission, and that any services that might be needed will be performed by honda free of charge because of the recall. my car is still under warranty, so why is the dealer telling me that i have to pay?? please advise. thank you. | |||

| Transmission work very heavy like is pulling something, don' swift normal. a took the van to the dealer for the recall at the dealer they say that they use a digital camera to check the interior of the transmission. i am not convinced that they actually fix something in the transmission , this a $5000 this is not a joke. what i can do to resolved my problem, get a real check, i need a lawyer for this, i need to start telling people about the serious problems with the odyssey, is some kind of lemon car. *nm | |||

| Was backing out of a parking space (car in reverse). due to the tightness of the area, had to put the car in drive to pull forward slightly and then again in reverse. when the car was put in drive the second time, it lunged forward and accelerated on its own. car was still accelerating when it hit a parked car. everything turned off once the car was put in park and the ignition turned off. *tr | |||
