STEERING
2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L: PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER, HAD PROBLEM WITH PULLING TO THE LEFT FROM THE FIRST DAYS WE OWNED IT. WE RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO INSISTED IT WAS NORMAL AND GAVE VARIOUS REASONS (TORQUE, ROAD CROWN, NOTHING AT ALL). HAVE HAD NEW TIRES, INCLUDING REPLACING ONE THAT BALD BADLY ON THE OUTSIDE BY 20,000 MILES. HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ALIGNMENTS. HONDA INSISTS NO ISSUE, ALL WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS. CAR ALWAYS PULLS TO THE LEFT UNLESS WE'RE DRIVING ON A HEAVILY CROWNED ROAD IN THE RIGHT LANE. CAUSES DRIVER FATIGUE AND HAS SOMETIMES BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS DISCUSSED OVER AND OVER ON VARIOUS WEBSITES, INCLUDING LOTS OF DO-IT-YOURSELFERS WHO HAVE HAD GOOD SUCCESS WITH A VERY SIMPLE REALIGNMENT OF STRUT BEARINGS. I CAN'T BELIEVE A REPUTABLE COMPANY SUCH AS HONDA COULD ALLOW THIS SAFETY ISSUE TO CONTINUE UNADDRESSED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER; THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ALREADY ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSA FORUM. HONDA DOES NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE. *TR

STEERING
2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L: POWER STEERING ISSUES THERE IS NO POWER STEERING ASSIST WHEN PARKING AND MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS. ONCE YOU ARE MOVING AT A SLIGHTLY HIGHER SPEED, IT KICKS IN, BUT UNTIL THEN, IT IS AS IF YOU ARE DRIVING WITH NO POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, AS ONE CAN NEVER TELL WHETHER THERE WILL BE POWER STEERING OR NOT. *TR

CHILD SEAT:LATCH CONNECTOR/CLIP, CHILD SEAT
SEAT INSTALLED REARFACING WITH SUPER LATCH LOOSENED EXCESSIVELY AND DRAMATICALLY WHEN PUSHED/PULLED. INITIALLY THERE WAS NO SLACK OVER VERY LITTLE SLACK, AND IT BECAME INCHES OF SLACK AS THE ENTIRE SEAT ROCKED BACK AND FORTH. HAD THE CHILD IN THE SEAT NOT BEEN BELTED IN, HE COULD HAVE EASILY FALLEN OUT OF THE CAR. THE SEAT WAS RETIGHTENED AND THE SAME PROCESS WAS EASILY REPEATED. THE SEAT WAS REINSTALLED FORWARD-FACING, DIMINISHING THE PROTECTION OFFERED TO THE CHILD (REARFACING IS 5X SAFER), SO THAT THE CHILD COULD BE SAFELY TRANSPORTED HOME.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, A ROCK HIT MY A/C CONDENSER. A REPLACEMENT CONDENSER COSTS $700-1,000. PLEASE ASK HONDA TO INVENT SOME SORT OF CONDENSER GUARD TO PROTECT IT FROM ROAD DEBRIS. MY FATHER HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. *TR

WHEELS
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

WHEELS
DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN MY HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE FRONT AND REAR LEFT WHEEL BEARING STARTED TO MAKE HUMMING NOISE TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS TOO LOUD TO DRIVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVANS ARE KNOWN FOR THE BEARING PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER THAT NHTSA SHOULD KNOW ABOUT. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES FAILED CAUSING A CRASH. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2007 AND HAVE NOTICED SPONGY, SOFT, HARD TO STOP BRAKES FROM THE BEGINNING. DEALERSHIPS, WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO MORE THAN ONE, ALWAYS SAY IT'S FINE, NO FAILURE, NO PROBLEM CAN BE REPEATED. WE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED JUST IN CASE AND HAVE HAD BOTH RECALL JOBS FIXED, ONE JUST LAST WEEK. THIS WEEK CARS STOPPED SHORT IN FRONT OF MY HUSBAND WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, HE COULD NOT STOP, TRIED TO SLAM BRAKES AND THE VAN WOULD NOT STOP, HE PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. HE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. WE HAVE HAD A FEW PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO STOP SHORT IN THE PAST BUT HAVE AVOIDED A CRASH BEFORE. A RECALL IS JUST NOT ENOUGH, IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM FOR OUR VAN. ALSO THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.
