STEERING
LAST FALL MY POWER STEERING WOULD GO OUT WHEN I WAS DECELERATING OR REVERSING STARTED TO BE DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VAN WOULD MAKE A TERRIBLE NOISE WHEN IDLING AND YOU WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE AND I NOTICED IT SEEMED TO ONLY BE WHEN THE WEATHER WAS COLD. I HAD AN AUTO SHOP EVALUATE IT AND FLUSH IT AS WELL AS PLACE A DYE TO SEE IF IT WAS LEAKING AND IT WASN'T. I WENT IN FOR A RECALL JUST RECENTLY AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED I SHOULD JUST REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AS MULTIPLE ONLINE CONSUMER COMPLAINT SITES HAVE LISTED THIS PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I HAVE TO DRIVE IN ICY CONDITIONS TO WHICH I WILL HAVE TO DECELERATE I WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING WHICH IS NOT SAFE FOR MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND OTHER DRIVERS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL, THE VAN DECELERATED TO 20 MPH ON ITS OWN. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT 20MPH FOR 1/4 MILE AND PARKED FOR 20 MIN. WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING; THE VAN WAS THEN DRIVEN AT SPEEDS BELOW 35 MPH (ENGINE LIGHT ON), THEN INCREASED TO 50-60 MPH FOR 6 MILES WHEN THE DECELERATION RECURRED. THE VAN WAS DRIVEN AT 20 MPH FOR 4 MILES. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ONLY INCREASED THE ENGINE RPM, NO VELOCITY INCREASE. THE VAN WAS DRIVEN THE NEXT DAY AT SPEEDS BELOW 45 MPH (NO ENGINE LIGHT) WITH NO PROBLEMS. PROBLEM CODES IDENTIFIED AS #2 & #6 SPARK PLUGS MISFIRED (NON-PERMANENT). HONDA SERVICE DROVE THE VAN AT 60 MPH THREE DIFFERENT TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF 20 MILES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VAN WAS DRIVEN 3000 INTERSTATE MILES AFTER NHTSA RECALL 13V500 (VSA) REPAIR. THE VAN HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED--NO KNOWN CAUSE FOR THE DECELERATION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE LEAVING CAMPUS PARKING LOT, CAR STOPPED, CAN'T RESTART IT. DEALER SAY IT'S FUEL PUMP FALSE READING THAT LEAVES TANK EMPTY AND CHARGE ME ALMOST $1000 FOR REPLACING A NEW FUEL PUMP. GOT RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA EARLIER RE FUEL PUMP LEAKS FIRE RISK, AND FIX IS PENDING FURTHER NOTICE. DEALER SAYS MY CASE NOT APPLY TO THIS RECALL. WHAT I AM COMPLAIN HERE ~ 1. I AM BEEN RIPE OFF BY DEALER'S "TWIST DEFINITION" NOT APPLYING TO THE SAME RECALL DEFECT FUEL PUMP AND HAVE TO PAY $1K EXTRA FOR THE SAME RECALL DEFECT PARTS. 2. WHAT IF THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT'S WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND LEADS TO A CHAIN OF ACCIDENT. 3. HONDA CONFINED ITS FUEL PUMP FAILURE TO CERTAIN AREA IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE RECALL LOSE, ACTUAL DEFECTIVE DAMAGE & SAFETY HAZARD TO CONSUMERS COULD BE BIGGER. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT 2007 ODYSSEY AT 67,000 MILES. I PURCHASED A TRADE-IN VEHICLE FROM STERLING ACURA DEALER, STEERING DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT WITHIN 3 SECONDS, I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES THEY'VE SWITCHED TIRE POSITIONS, DONE THE ALIGNMENT STILL THE DRIFT TO THE RIGHT HAPPENS. THEN THEY SAY IT'S BECAUSE OF ROAD CROWING WHICH I TOTALLY DON'T ACCEPT. I READ THROUGH MANY FORUMS WHERE EVERYONE IS PISSED-OFF WITH THIS PROBLEM. I SUPPOSE HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM OR PART KNOWLEDGE WITH THE DEALER ON HOW TO FIX IT. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE RELATING TO FAULTY VSA SYSTEM IN HONDA ODYSSEYS. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALLED AS A RESULT OF A SINGLE DRIVER ACCIDENT THAT OCCURED ON CT-15 MERRIT PARKWAY IN JANUARY 2011. IT SNOWED THAT DAY IN CONNECTICUT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO VISIBLE SNOW ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND AT A PARTICULAR TURN, THE VEHICLE SKIDDED (NO BREAK WAS APPLIED), AND AFTER TRYING TO CONTROL THROUGH TURNING THE STEERING HIT THE ROAD DIVIDER BARRICADES FACING FORWARD AND THEN SIDEWAYS RESULTING INTO DAMAGE TO RADIATOR SYSTEM AND ACTIVATING ALL AIR BAGS. I SPOKE WITH HONDA REPRESENTATIVE TODAY WHO ADVISES THAT THEY CANNOT ASSIST ME FURTHER BECAUSE VEHICLE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AND THEY CANNOT THEREFORE CONFIRM OR DENY WHETHER THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED DUE TO THIS MATTER. MY REQUEST TO SPEAK TO THE SUPERVISOR WAS DECLINED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT MY CONCERNS WERE ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES SUDDENLY HARDENED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHILE GOING DOWNHILL. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED IN . I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WOODLAND HILLS KEYES HONDA AND LEARNED THAT THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER WAS DEFECTIVE. THIS SAME VEHICLE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. BASED ON HONDA'S RECOMMENDATIONS, THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER IS TO BE REPLACED IF THERE IS ANY LEAK. IT IS MY POSITION, THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER UPON DETERMINING THAT IT WAS LEAKING AS IMPLICIT IN THE RECALL REQUIRED THAT THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER BE REPLACED. HAD THIS BEEN REPLACED THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A FAILURE TO THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. *JS

STEERING
VERY HARD TO STEER. IT SUDDENLY STOPPED SMOOTH OPERATION AND REMAINED HARD SINCE MAR 10TH, 2014. LOOKS LIKE THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. FEEL LIKE DRIVING A BIG TRUCK AND APPLY A LOT OF POWER TO STEER. IT BECOMES TOUGH WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN MOVING IT IS LITTLE OKAY TO MANEUVER (STILL HARD BUT MANAGEABLE). I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO RECALL FOR A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TENANT'S 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY BURNT IN THE DRIVEWAY NEXT TO THE DECK. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRIC FIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN FOR 3 DAYS. DOES HONDA HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR MY DAMAGES, OVER THE INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE? THE DAMAGE WAS CLOSE TO $2500. I HAD A $1,000. DED. IT SEEMS THE INSURANCE COMPANY JUST WRITES IF OFF. HOW CAN I GET HELP FROM HONDA FOR MY LOSS. THE TENANT SAYS HE HAD LOST ON VAN AND CONTENTS. SHOULD I CONTACT HONDA (HOW) SHOULD I CONTRACT HIS CAR INSURANCE? IF HIS CAR HIT THE HOUSE I GUESS CAR INSURANCE WOULD FOR THE DECK. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
OUR 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY SUDDENLY STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. WE HAD RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR, AND THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS JUST A LEAK IN A HOSE, WE REFILLED THE FREON A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE WEATHER COOLED DOWN AND THEN LEFT IT ALONE FOR THE WINTER. WHEN I WENT TO HAVE IT FIXED LAST WEEK, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE CONDENSER, JUST LIKE I HAD HEARD HAD HAPPENED TO A LOT OF OTHER 2007 ODYSSEY OWNERS. $970.00 LATER OUR AIR CONDITIONING WORKS, BUT THERE IS NOTHING TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. HONDA STILL ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER TO PAY FOR A GUARD UNDER THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM RECURRING. WHEN YOU LIVE IN ARIZONA LIKE I DO, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TT
