My 2004 has codes relating to transmission problems, along with ongoing codes for emission problems. I have taken it in and it dose need a new transmission. It also needs emission work. I have been told that this rare with this make and model. Also the input for the gas is not working well.

Corrosion within the fuel pump wiring connector and the fuel pump retaining nut was cracked / broken. Customer complaint was stalling while driving, no start condition. Troubleshooting procedure indicated the fuel pump wiring connector was faulty the inspection revealed that the connector was corroded apparently from moisture. This issue is certainly a safety concern considering the faulty connection can cause loss of engine power -> loss of power steering, and the faulty fuel pump nut can cause gasoline fumes to escape containment which may lead to an explosion / fire. If the connector was jiggled the fuel pump would intermittently operate and or fail. The local Honda dealer refused to recognize the safety recall campaign # 04V42000 or the Honda service bulletin #04-049, and refused to mitigate the problem without offering the option to repair the issue outside of the recall which would cost the customer $454.32 for the fuel pump repair kit in addition to service fees of at least $374. The vehicle was initially towed-in and presented for service on June of 2018. The Honda dealer is providing wiring harness, retaining nut and gasket at a cost to the customer.

While driving my 2004 Honda Odyssey would completley stahl without any warning, just shut off.. I got the fuel relay replaced and it still stahled numerous times but started back up soon after.. almost causing numerous accidents just stopping while driving.. now my van has stahled and this time it will not restart. I have looked up recalls and found one that made sense for a 2004 Honda Odyssey for a fuel pump wire thst has corrosion causing the car to stahl. My vans VIN doesnt fall under this recall...."?"

I own Honda odessy since 09/ 2017. I replaced timing belt with one year warranty, because the previous owner did not do it. 12/09/16 I took my Honda odessy 2004 to manhattan Honda dealership for recall. I asked to Honda representative to check and tell me what is necessary to replace or repair. I knew that transmission recall for Honda odessy 2004 was open and told them to check and repair it if it is necessary, but they refused to do it they told me that my Honda has many issues and repair all necessary things will cost me $10000. The fuel pump, timing belt, which I already replaced, and transmission clutch was included in the repair list. Last month I had a very bad experience when driving this car. It was loosing power and stopping when I was driving. It was dangerous for traffic. It occur on very dangerous spats, like exits from hgway, brooklyn bridge etc., I could start up car in 5 minutes and it was drawing with no problems then. It was a few times like this and the last time I drove home and couldn't start up the car no more. I towed car to repair shop and mechanic told me that my fuel pump needs to be replaced. I came home and started research and found the recall for Honda odessy fuel pump, for Honda odessy that was built on and after 06/21/04 is on recall for fuel pump repair or replace. My Honda odessy was built 06/2004 I replaced the fuel pump and car is running very good now and I do not have this problem again. Because I had the fuel pump problem after my car was on recall, and because they knew that fuel pump replace was included in recall, and they knew that my car has this problem and did not fixed it I am hereby asking the Honda dealership to reimburse money that I spent on fuel pump repair $653.03. I also asking Honda dealership to check again a transmission and repair it, if it is necessary.

I was driving to school, and the transmission was acting funny. I drove it approximately 30 miles to our dealership. Luckily I made it. The highest speed I could go was almost 40mph. Pulled into the dealership at 8:30A.M. and waited. Was given the news that it was the transmission, and it was almost $6,000 to replace. They had me. Didn't know what to do...and had to pick up kids at school at 3;30P.M. ended up sinking $40,000 into a new 2014 Odyssey. Boy do I feel taken! and then to find out there was a problem with Honda transmissions from 1999. I do question the transmission of the one I am driving now....it shifts funny. My 2004 also always had a fuel smell. Was concerned at times of starting it. We also paid to have the dash lights fixed....at our expense. Didn't know there was a recall on that either......darn those dealerships!!! they got us on the transmission too!!
