2005 Honda Odyssey Fuel System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT NOTICED STRONG FUEL FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE TANK, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V112000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 220,000.

3 WEEKS AGO MY FAMILY COMPLAINED THAT THEY SMELLED GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR, I LATER SMELLED IT ALSO. I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND OUT THE FUEL PUMP HAS CRACKS ON THE TOP COVER AND THAT IS CAUSING THE LEAK. I LOOKED INTO IT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT FROM 2005 TO 2010 THERE WAS RECALLS ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THE TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BASED ON MY VIN. I STARTED THE CAR THIS PAST FRIDAY AND THE CAR TURNED OFF AND LEAKED OUT FUEL FROM THE BOTTOM. IT SEEMS I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THESE HONDA ODYSSEYS. WAS IT A MISTAKE MY VECHICLE WAS SKIPPED OUT ON THE RECALL?

ON SATURDAY AUGUST 1, 2015, I WAS ON MY WAY FROM THE AIRPORT WITH THREE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS WHEN THE VAN SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. UPON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IT, THE VAN WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. MY FUEL GAUGE AND LIGHT WERE NOT INDICATING NO FUEL (WHICH WAS THE FIRST THING THAT THE OFFICER WHO ASSISTED IN PUSHING THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD LOOKED AT). THE LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP RAN A DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE AND DECIDED THAT ALL THE VEHICLE'S SIX CYLINDERS WERE MIS-FIRING DUE TO LOW FUEL PRESSURE (5PSI) AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THE LAST TIME I HAD DRIVEN THE VAN PRIOR TO AUGUST 1, WAS JULY 21, 2015 WHEN I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER FOR THE FUEL PUMP FILTER REPLACEMENT (THE VEHICLE HAD 147,504 MILES ON IT LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP). THE DEALER CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THE REASON WHY THE VEHICLE STOPPED WAS THAT I HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL. I ASKED HOW THE CYLINDER MISFIRINGS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON EARLIER ON AUGUST 1ST WAS RELATED TO AN EMPTY TANK, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THEY WERE RELATED. BUT HE SAID HE COULD NOT PROMISE THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STALL AGAIN BECAUSE ALL THE FUEL PUMP PART COULD BE GETTING OLD AND FAILING. NOW, ABOUT THE FUEL GAUGE THAT "FAILED" TO WORK AFTER THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WORK WAS DONE, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND CLAIMED THAT THEIR TECHNICIAN RECHECKED WHAT HE DID ON JULY 21ST AND FOUND NO PROBLEM WITH IT. FURTHERMORE, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 ODYSSEY FUEL PUMP IS DEEPER THAN THE "FILTER" REPLACEMENT PATCH THAT HONDA HAS IMPROVISED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US GO AFTER HONDA OF AMERICA TO DO THE RIGHT THING BY REPLACING ALL DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS AND NOT JUST THE FUEL PUMP FILTER.

A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL IN THE CABIN AND ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. I CALLED HONDA IN OCTOBER ABOUT IT THEY SAID TAKE TO DEALER TO CHECK FUEL RELAY SWITCH, DEALER SAID IT WAS OKAY, BUT TO DIAGNOSE THE SMELL THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME $120.

BUT THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS GOING TO COST $563. THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT AROUND, SO I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAID IF I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY MIGHT HELP ME WITH THE REPAIR, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THE CAR TO BLOW UP WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. I INQUIRED AS TO A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE ADVISER STATED THAT SHE WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, BUT WOULD SEE IF I COULD GET OUT OF WARRANTY HELP, I TOLD HER THAT I HAVE READ ONLINE AND HAD PRINTED OUT SO MANY PEOPLE STATING THEIR 2005 HONDAS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED FOR A RECALL. JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS FAULTY CASING WHICH IS A COMMON PROBLEM, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RISK MINE OR ANYONE ELSE'S LIFE. I WILL REPOST THE OUTCOME, HONDA GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER AND SAID SOMEONE SHOULD CONTACT ME BY THE END ON 12/09/2013 TO LET ME KNOW IF THE CAN HELP WITH THE COST. *TR

HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN, IT HESITATES, OR HAS A FLAT SPOT WHEN ACCELERATING AT STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. HAVE HAD TROUBLE SOON AFTER PURCHASE, AND DOES IT WAY TO OFTEN. HAD A 2002 ODYSSEY WHICH DID THE SAME THING SO I REPLACED IT WITH THE 2005 AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. YET THE HONDA DEALER TELLS ME THEY HAVE HAD NO OTHER REPORTS ABOUT SUCH A PROBLEM. AT PRESENT IT IS AT THE DEALERS. THEY CALLED ME YESTERDAY, AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THEM TO KEEP IT A WHILE LONGER AND DRIVE IT AND MAYBE THEY COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY LX VAN AND IT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY. SHE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE, GET IT TO START ONE MORE TIME AND LIMP INTO A PARKING LOT(IT DIED AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE LOT). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS PRESUMED THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE BAD GAS, OR A 1 TIME GLITCH. I WAS TOLD I COULD PICK THE VEHICLE BACK UP. NOT FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH PUTTING MY WIFE AND 1 YR OLD SON BACK IN THE VEHICLE, I DROVE IT 30 MILES UNTIL THE PROBLEM DUPLICATED AGAIN. IT DIED ON A COUNTRY ROAD. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT A LITTLE BIT AND TRY AND DRIVE IT IN, IT DIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE FINALLY DYING ON A BRIDGE AND NEEDING A TOW. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE PROBLEM WAS FINALLY TRACKED DOWN TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. I WAS TOLD THIS PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE MAY BE MORE CARS OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF THIS OCCURS IN THE CITY DURING A LEFT HAND TURN, IT COULD HAVE DEADLY RESULTS. I ALSO WONDER IF THIS WAS RELATED THE FUSE RECALL (MY VAN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE FUSE RECALL). I AM AWAITING THE PART TO ARRIVE AND BE INSTALLED. *JB
