Problems with 2002 Honda Odyssey AIR BAGS

After spending money to get car fix. found out there are at least 60 recalls on this vehicle. i only gotten 7 or 8 recall letter from honda. accord8ng to the mechanic friend, i could have gotten a new car after all the repairs from the recall. call honda on this and they said it's your responsibility to ensure you take the car for recall repair. we are not responsible for missing recall letters, even if i never receive them

I just purchased this vehicle within this couple this past week and the individual that i purchased gary/myong brewer, who is the original owners since which this vehicle is new told me that all of the bag issues with this vehicle is all fixed. what should i should be done?

Over last 3 weeks have contacted my dealer and was not given an appointment for repair. have called twice including the service manager but no return calls, no response..

Takata recall the dealer and manufacturer are not providing a way to tow my vehicle and will not provide a loaner car even though the earliest appointment for repair is next tuesday. i am not comfortable driving my car.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2002 honda odyssey. the contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 19v182000 (air bags) and stated that the parts were not available to repair the vehicle. holler honda (2211 n semoran blvd, orlando, fl 32807) confirmed parts were not available to perform the recall repair. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

The airbags on my honda were recalled and we had them replaced at nanuet honda where we purchased the car. thinking after we had them replaced that they would actually work if we got into and accident. the honda hit a deer on the highway and the whole front end was destroyed and the airbags never went off. please see pictures below. we paid a lot of money for this car due to the safety features and not having them work is unacceptable. please check into this because other people will have there families in the car and would like to make people aware of the malfunction of the airbag because my airbags were replaced with the recall and did not work. not a happy customer [xxx] please respond [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

We traded this vehicle in 2006 for another model -but we still get calls and letters about this recall. we have not owned this vehicle since 2006, but we still get calls and letters. we have reported it several times via the mail in cards, we have called the dealership, we have called nhtsa, we have called dmv, but apparently honda's files are not being updated and they keep over-writing corrections everywhere else. please remove us from the list of affected owners. we do not own this vehicle

Got a letter saying there was a recall for a 2002 honda odyssey with the airbags but i do not own that car anymore. that car was in an accident and is gone now.

Takata recall my van was part of the recall and the fix was done but when it is humid outside then my srs light comes on and stays on. when we go down south to florida then the srs light comes on and stays on until we get into less humid weather. we are planning on moving back down south and we are worried that the airbags are not fixed right. also the passenger headlamp goes out twice as fast as the drivers side. i have to replace the passenger side headlamp twice before i have to replace the drivers side.

Takata recall: i bought a used 2002 odessey with 200,000 miles on it. and after i got it home i noticed the srs light being on. i thought it is a simple loose connection. but after searching online, it seems to be a serious problem which needs urgent attention and fixing.

The lighting is always open which indicates airbags

Problem: srs light has been on since 11/07/10. at initial visit to honda dealer on 11/11/10, problem diagnosed as faulty seat belt buckle. honda stated part on back order until 11/24/10. now honda says part on back order until approximately 12/09/10. with srs light on it is questionable as to whether air bags will deploy in a crash.

I have tried to contact the dublin ohio honda dealer to correct my airbag recall for my 2002 honda odyssey. my srs light is on and we took it to the dealer over 2 months ago. they said they saw no problem but would order a part to fix the seatbelt. now for 3 days i have tried to reach service to ask about the part and make another appointment and they have not returned my call. *tr

Transmission was replaced on a new 2002 honda odyssey at 41,000. now at 94,000 miles another transmission must be replaced on the same vehicle. the same problems seems to be occurring. the car sounded funny. this is what alerted the problem to me the first time. shortly afterward the car died in the middle of driving it. again the same problem is occurring with the same minivan again. they told me they replace the transmission. this honda automatic transmission was recalled by honda on my exact vin number shortly after i had my transmission replaced by them. i had a service contract so there was no charge. the same problem seems to be starting to occur once again. the last time i was driving on freeway and the minivan died suddenly. i reported the problem to honda 7 times before they finally replaced the transmission. again i brought my honda to them for the funny sound. this time they wish for me to pay to have the entire transmission replaced. i know since my contract is up i have to have it replaced otherwise the car is unsafe to drive. is this normal to have third transmission replaced in car with less than 95,000 miles on it. it is a 2002 odyssey. even if they replace the transmission several times have they truly corrected/resolved the vehicle problem? or are they bandaging up their mistake. the recall called for a transmission replacement and also another part to be replaced on my particular vin #. i believe they did a faulty job that it why i am going on my third transmission. i don't drive like a maniac, i drive to and from work and its an automatic transmission. i don't want to end up with our family in the car again like last time in the fast lane on the freeway with the car dying. i trusted honda last time and they failed me. how can i tell if they fixed the problem and why am i getting stuck with a faulty transmission that must be replaced every 30,000 miles...i feel they are covering up their recalls and they are sending me out w/a faulty car again. *tr
