 I'm filing this complaint to report three ongoing problems and one new problem, all related to the rear sliding door latches, locks and handles: 1. the door latch on the rear passenger-side sliding door of our 1999 honda odyssey lx becomes loose while the vehicle is in motion, causing the interior lights and rear door-open indicator to flash on intermittently. 2. the rear sliding doors often are extremely difficult to open from the outside. the van has been serviced for these two problems at no cost on three separate occasions by a local honda dealership (trickett honda). 3. sometimes the locks on the sliding doors don't engage when the automatic lock button is pushed. 4. the outside door handle on the rear passenger-side sliding door does not retract back into the indented slot and no longer opens the door. *nm

 I had auto accident, i was going 15 to 20 miles an hour. when i hit small tree. the steering wheel crushed my chest and i suffered a spinal cord injury at the t~2 level and now i'm now a quadriplegic. my seat belt failed to hold, the seat belt assembly had been recalled mine was replaced under recall. in 1996 recall no.- 95-028 i was still having trouble with the belt latch not staying fastened called the honda company to correct the problem they didn't help me at all. a dealer told me honda has a lifetime seat belt warranty on all honda vehicles, it covers any seat belt components that fails to function properly. the american honda motor company said it's my responsibility. now i'm paying the price. buyer beware you might end up, like me in a wheelchair. this recall only infected 3,300,000 vehicles, roll the dice? take a change. i'm sure there are more victims out there, while some i'm sure you planted them...*jb

 I own honda civic lx-01. while i was driving transmission just died. it only had 54,000+ miles, which is less than the average 12-15,000 mi /yr. was serviced regularly and certainly not abused. i had an extended warranty, which honda would not honor. this happened a few months after warranty ended. american honda would not pay for repair which was $2,500+ for new tranny. they said because i did not have tranny fluid changed at honda, they would not pay for it. i took it in for service at 25,000 mi and sherwood honda never changed tranny fluid or said i would need to change it in near future. their negligence which cost me alot of money. i had fluids changed regularly at jiffy lube. nowhere in maintenance book does it state honda fluids must be used, but recommended. nowhere does it say tranny oil must be changed at 30,000 mi which they claim. honda has had recalls of '01 trannys in other models. this defective tranny was indigenous to this car not because of action or inaction on my part. would never buy another honda. i am a senior. it is much too dangerous and costly. supposed to be a consumer friendly company and reliable car. great ad campaign, poor results. honda does not back its product and placed my life in danger. *tr

 I will be driving and my car will just shut off, i also have the extended stopping problem and braking causing me to manually steer. i have also had trouble with the car not starting or starting slowly. i was told there were several recalls before i purchased the car and they were repaired - the abs was done last year but the problem continues. i would like the abs replaced. i checked your website for outstanding recalls and found. i called the dealer and was told the abs was done 2/04 but the truck continues to have the same problem - extending stopping. i have had my passport 3 years and have only received one recall - but the problem currently exists ... extended stopping distance. the only recall sticker in the door is for the pedal. additionally, i have also had a problem with the truck turning off in the middle of a turn (forcing me to manually steer my car) 98v70 (describes it completely) my truck also refuses to start properly. it starts and then shuts off - sometimes it takes up to 3 times to turn on and stay on. (sb03-03-s003 describes this as well) since i cannot determine who performed the other recalls, how can i be certain they were done or done properly? my vehicle continues to have the identical problems associated with the following recalls: nhtsa campaign # 02i002001 - service brakes, hydraulic; anti-lock (5/29/02) 98v170000 - electrical system - wiring, front underhood (7/23/98) 98v170002 - electrical system - wiring front underhood (7/23/98) 00v058000 - suspension, rear (2/29/00) 97v206002 - other (11/11/97) i have not had any accidents as a result, but i am afraid to drive with my children in the car if my car just shuts off in the middle of a turn, or on the freeway and at low speed. i have also had it accelerate while on the freeway revving the engine constantly - these have all happened for the last 3 years with no recall notices.*jb
