Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC (Delphi) is recalling certain replacement fuel pump modules, part number FG1155-11B1, sold for use in 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The affected fuel pump may send an incorrect fuel reading to the fuel gauge possibly causing the vehicle to run out of fuel. The fuel gauge will always read 3/4 full to full regardless of the actual level.
A vehicle that runs out of fuel and stalls has an increased risk of a crash.

HONDA HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 AND 2008 ODYSSEY AND ELEMENT PASSENGER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 28, 2006 AND AUGUST 21, 2008. AIR CAN ENTER THE VSA MODULAR PUMP DURING AN INITIAL SELF-CHECK PROCESS THAT OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER EACH TIME THE ENGINE IS STARTED. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ENOUGH AIR TO ENTER THE SYSTEM TO RESULT IN A BRAKE PEDAL THAT FEELS SOFT OR LOWER TO THE FLOOR.
IF THE OWNER DOES NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS OR YEARS, THE SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE ENOUGH AIR TO AFFECT BRAKING PERFORMANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EACH TIME IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 918 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 914.
I AM EXPERIENCING BRAKING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2008 ODYSSEY TOURING IN WHICH THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SOFT, FEELS SPONGY, AND LONG BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WHEN BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS 2,132 MILES CURRENTLY AND IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS BEFORE 2,000 MILES. *TR
MY BRAKES FEEL SPONGY AND REQUIRE ME TO APPLY EXTRA PRESSURE TO STOP. MY BRAKES ALSO MAKE A GROANING NOISE WHEN I COME TO A REGULAR STOP. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO FOR REPAIRS SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, EVEN THOUGH THEY HEARD THE NOISE. I THEN DROVE AN 08 OFF THE LOT TO COMPARE AND NOTICED A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE IN PEDAL FEEL AND NO GROANING NOISE. THEY SAID THEY WILL CALL HONDA NEXT WEEK FOR ADVISE. *TR
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HESITATION SHIFTING 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. HESITATION IS PRONOUNCED DURING COLD STARTS. *TR
