VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MINIVANS. THE FRONT BODY/FRAME IS MISSING SPOT WELDS.
Remedy: DEALERS INSPECTED ALL THE VEHICLES AND THEY WERE FOUND TO BE PROPERLY WELDED.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) control module contains incorrect deployment parameters for the side and head airbags, which could cause them to deploy inadvertently when the vehicle experiences road impacts. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to a faulty circuit board in the passenger seat weight sensor, the passenger seat’s occupant detection system may identify a Steering Wheel Sensor (SWS) error and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light could switch on. This can cause a faulty triggering of the airbags, creating a risk of injuries for a child occupying the passenger seat. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Due to improper manufacturing of the belt buckle channel, the front seat belt buckles (driver or passenger side) may not lock properly. This could affect the restraining capacity of the safety-belt and increase the risk of injury in the event of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

REAR DOOR LATCH WILL NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS. MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT THE LATCH BE REPLACED DUE TO A WORN PART.*AK
ANOTHER CAR TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME, WITH NO SIGNAL OR NO NOTICE. I HIT HER AND MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND MY SEAT BELT HELD ME FINE. MY KIDS WERE IN THE SECOND ROW SEAT WITH SEAT BELTS ON. THEY BOTH HIT THE SEAT IN FRONT OF THEM. I THINK THE HANDLES THAT ARE ON THE SEATS (BAD DESIGN). MY SON LOST 4 PERMANENT TEETH AND HAD LACERATIONS TO HIS FACE. MY DAUGHTER HAD A CONCUSSION AND NOW HAS A HUGE SCAR ON HER LIP AND CHIN. I GUESS THE SHOULDER STRAPS FAILED TO LOCK?*AK
DRIVER WAS STOPPED AT A CROSSWALK AND WAS STRUCK FROM THE REAR AT A SPEED OF 25-35 MPH. DRIVER WAS WEARING A SEAT BELT AND THROWN FORWARD AND BACK WHEN HIT . AS DRIVER CAME BACK THE SEAT BENT BACK/BROKE AND BENT TO THE RIGHT AT A 15-25% ANGLE CAUSING INJURIES. *AK
1)POWER SLIDING DOORS DO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. INTERMITTENTLY, DOORS WON'T OPEN, DOORS OPEN PARTIALLY AND STOP, AND DOORS CLOSE PARTIALLY AND STOP. MORE IMPORTANTLY, POWER DOORS DO NOT STOP AND RETRACT WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUAL. TODAY WAS THE FOURTH TIME THAT ONE OF MY CHILDREN HESITATED WHEN EXITING THE VAN AND WAS STUCK WITHIN THE DOORWAY WHEN THE DOOR WAS AUTOMATICALLY CLOSING. NOT ONLY DID THE DOOR NOT STOP AND RETRACT WHEN IT REACHED MY CHILD'S BODY, BUT DID NOT STOP EVEN WHEN I PLACED THE FULL PRESSURE OF MY BODY AGAINST THE DOOR. TODAY, MY DAUGHTER WAS THROWN OUT OF THE VAN TO THE GROUND AND I INCURRED BRUISING ON MY LEFT SHOULDER WHERE I HAD BRACED MY BODY AGAINST THE DOOR TO STOP IT FROM ADVANCING OVER HER BODY. I HAVE REPORTED THESE PROBLEMS TO THE DEALERSHIP TIME AND AGAIN. IN 2000, THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS BUT THE PROBLEMS STILL OCCUR WITH REGULARITY. 2)SOME OF THE SEAT BELTS, PARTICULARLY THE ONE IN THE SECOND ROW, DRIVER'S SIDE, JAMS CONSTANTLY. WE ARE VERY OFTEN UNABLE TO USE THAT SEAT BECAUSE THE SEAT BELT GETS STUCK WHEN BEING DRAWN OUT TO BE BUCKLED. 3)THE REAR HATCH IS SOMETIMES INOPERABLE. THE UNLOCK BUTTON OF THE REMOTE MUST BE PRESSED 5 OR MORE TIMES FOR THE HATCH TO UNLOCK, AND EVEN THEN, IT RELEASES ONLY PARTIALLY. SINCE THERE IS NO RELEASE INSIDE THE CAR, THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT AND COULD BE DANGEROUS, IN COMBINATION WITH THE DOORS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *JB
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY LX. THE CUP HOLDER IN THE REAR SEAT DOES NOT HOLD THE CUP PROPERLY AND OFTEN FALLS OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED BEVERAGE SPILL ON THE PERSONS IN THE CAR AT THAT TIME. AT LEAST TWO OF THE SPILLS WERE FROM HOT BEVERAGE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT THEY SAY THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL. INTERESTINGLY THEY HAVE CHANGED THE CUP HOLDERS IN THEIR NEWER MODELS. *LA
THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT I HAVE FILED ON THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST WAS 2 WEEKS AGO. EVERYTIME I GET INJURED, I AM REMINDED! THIS MORNING WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVE AT LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR, THE CONVERTIBLE ROOF STRUCTURE, IMPACTED MY LEFT TEMPLE. I STILL HAVE A HEADACHE. THE SUPPORTING FRAME OF HTE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS ABOUT TWO INCHES AWAY FROM LEFT TEMPLE. ANY PASSENGER TALLER THAN 5'11" HAS THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. A SIMPLE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO INSTALL SEATS THAT SEAT PASSENGER AND DRIVER LOWER IN THE CAR. EITHER BY LOWERING THE SEAT RAILS OR A DIFFERENT SEAT WOULD WORK. I HAVE TOLD MY WIFE IF I SUFFER A HEAD INJURY IN THIS CAR, THAT SHE HAS GROUNDS TO FILE A LAWSUIT. I WOULD MUCH RATHER NOT BE THE CAUSE! I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT WHEN I SEARCHED YOUR DATABASE. I HAVE REPORTEDC THIS PROBLEM TO HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WON'T FIX IT. I AM NOW RESEARCHING OTHER AVENUES TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. PLEASE HELP, MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO COMPLAIN TO MY FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES.*AK
