STEERING
VERY LOUD POWER STEERING PUMP NOISE AFTER A 25 MINUTE DRIVE TO THE LOCAL AIRPORT ON A COLD DEC MORNING IN FORT WORTH TX. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM ONLY ONE OTHER TIME SINCE THEN. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM FOR THE LOCAL DEALER. I'M CERTAIN THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO AN ISSUE DETAILED IN A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 07-005. I SEEMS THEY EXPECT ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMETHING BREAKS OR I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TRIED TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION WITH A STOP GOING 25 MILES EARLY ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP ON TIME AND BRAKE WILL TERMINATE IT DISTANCE BEFORE THE ACTUAL CAR STOPPED. IT HAS SOFT BRAKES FROM THE BEGINNING BUT NOW IT IS GETTING WORSE AND THE BRAKE DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. WE WERE LUCKY BECAUSE NO OTHER CAR WERE AROUND AS WE STOPPED 10 FEET IN THE INTERSECTION. IS THERE ANY RECALL FOR SPONGE BRAKES FOR ODYSSEY 2006? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DURING NORMAL DRIVING THE BRAKES FAILED THEN BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP SIGN USING THE SERVICE BRAKE THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW AS EXPECTED DESPITE INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL THROUGH A STOP SIGN. THERE WAS NO COLLISION OR ACCIDENT. PRIOR THE INCIDENT THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. AFTER THE INCIDENT THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY. IT HAPPENED ONCE ON 1/13/10 AND ONCE IN NOVEMBER 2009. IT HAPPENED DURING TYPICAL RURAL DRIVING, ~35MPH 2-LANE ROADS. THE HONDA DEALER INSPECTED THE BRAKES, ROAD TESTED THE CAR AND PRONOUNCED EVERYTHING WAS OK ON 1/14/10. THEY MADE NO REPAIR. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME AS NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE09024 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WHO IS THE NORMAL DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
I OWNED A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 5 YEAR / 60000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY. ON JAN 4, 2010, A/C STOP WORKING AND I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER EXPECTING FOR WARRANTY REPAIR. HOWEVER, THE DEALER TOLD ME THE DAMAGE WAS DUE TO ROAD HAZARD AND WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER STATED THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL YEAR BUT THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. THEY CAN NOT REPAIR ANY DAMAGES DUE TO ROAD HAZARD. I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY HONDA OWNER HAD EXACT PROBLEM AS I DID. IF IT A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM, WHY HONDA IS NOT COMING UP WITH A FIX TO MINIMIZE THE CHANCE. DEALER IS ENJOYING THIS "DESIGN" FLAW BY CHARGING INNOCENT CUSTOMER WITH MORE THAN $1300 REPAIR. CAN YOU KINDLY INVESTIGATE THIS UN-ETHICAL PRACTICE? *TR

STEERING
AT AROUND 25,000 MILES, MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY DEVELOPED A NOISE IN THE ENGINE BAY, WHILE AND AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE POWER STEERING AT TIMES SEEMED WITHOUT ASSIST. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THE PROBLEM WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE, AND THE PROBLEM IS INCREASING IN SEVERITY AND FREQUENCY. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, AND NO REMEDY HAS BEEN OFFERED BY HONDA MOTORS, DESPITE MANY CLAIMS OF IDENTICAL SAFETY ISSUES FOUND UPON A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE COMPLETE POWER ASSIST FAILURE WILL CAUSE A COLLISION, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND INJURY. *TR

STEERING
DURING LOW TEMPERATURE DRIVING AFTER VEHICLE IS WARM, THE POWER STEERING WHINES LOUDLY. WE NOTICED THIS CONDITION IN THE EARLY FALL AS TEMPERATURES FELL AND THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE STEERING PUMP WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 9200 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP NOW HAVING THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FLUSHED, RESERVOIR REPLACED AND NEW SYNTHETIC FLUID INSTALLED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE STEERING MAY HAVE FAILED DURING OPERATION CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THIS MAY NOT FALL UNDER SAFETY, BUT I WAS LOOKING FOR THE FORM TO FILE A RECALL INVESTIGATION. SORRY IF THIS IS WRONG. BUT COULD YOU PASS ALONG... I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. MY WIRELESS HEADPHONES ARE PURE STATIC, NOT WORKING AT ALL. I AM ON MY 3RD STEREO WITH HONDA, AND NOW THE WARRANTY IS UP. I'VE FOUND OVER 1,000 OTHERS ONLINE THUS FAR WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT'S A PRETTY BIG FIX. I GUESS SOME DEALERS ARE NOT CHARGING FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY SEE IT SO OFTEN, BUT MOST ARE. IT IS "THERE IS A MODULE THAT TAKES THE DVD AUDIO OUTPUT AND TRANSITS THE SIGNAL OVER INFRARED TO THE HEADPHONES. THIS INFRARED MODULE WAS THE PROBLEM." ANYWAY- I WOULD APPRECIATE A RECALL BEING INITIATED ON THIS, AS SO MANY ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE WITH THE 6 DISC CHANGER JUST QUITTING. AS I'M DRIVING IT STARTS RAPIDLY SPITTING OUT ALL 6 DISCS, WHICH TO ME IS A SAFETY DEAL. THAT WAS CHANGED OUT 2X, AND NOW- THIS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE WITH THIS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER FOR A LONG DISTANCE, WHEEZING SOUND COMES FROM STEERING WHEEL. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAY IT'S A POWER STEERING PUMP, RESERVOIR TANK. IT ONLY HAS 57K MILES, AND ALREADY PROBLEMS. HONDA DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE NOR WAS IT COLD. IT WON'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT'S PAST THE MILES, BUT HONDA MAKES A DEFECTIVE PART(S) AND THE OWNER HAS TO PAY FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE BRAKES (FRONT) ON A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. THE CHIEF COMPLAINT IS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND A SPONGY FEELING IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. STOPPING DISTANCE IS ALSO GREATER. PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO HONDA DEALER AND FRONT BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED WITH DIFFERENT PADS (AROUND 15K - 18K MILES). PROBLEM RE-OCCURRED AGAIN AROUND 25K OR SO. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO HONDA. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT I OVER HEATED BRAKE ROTORS AND "WARPED" THEM. I CONTACTED HONDA OF NORTH AMERICA BY TELEPHONE. THEY STOOD BY THEIR DEALER AND NOTHING WAS DONE. PROBLEM OCCURS ON A REGULAR BASIS DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. BRAKING DISTANCE UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS (YIELDING FOR AN AMBULANCE) IS POOR. *TR
