STEERING
MY 2007 ODYSSEY WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AT 35,000 MILES FOR A PROBLEM WITH A CLICKING NOISE AND STEERING ISSUE AT LOW SPEEDS. THE DEALER ATTRIBUTED THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING TO A POWER STEERING SERVICE BULLETIN AND THE CLICKING WASN'T EVIDENT OUT OF THE ORDINARY. AS THE STEERING SEEMED TO BE BETTER, AND THE CLICKING WAS 'NORMAL" I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND DROVE IT LIKE IT WAS FOR MANY MORE MILES, UNTIL THE CLICKING NOISE AT AROUND 68000 MILES SEEMED REALLY LOUDER AND MORE PRONOUNCED. THE DEALER NOW ATTRIBUTED THE NOISE TO A FAULTY AXLE AND REPLACED IT AT A COST TO ME OF AROUND $200.00 (1/2 PRICE). NOW, ABOUT 5000 MILES LATER, THE STEERING IS EXTREMELY BAD AT LOW SPEED AND NOW THE DEALER TELLS ME THE POWER STEERING FLUID IS LEEKING AND THE COST TO REPAIR IS NEARLY $1500.00. THIS ISSUE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN NOTICIBLE ON MINE AND OTHER PEOPLE'S VEHICLES WHICH IS EVIDENT BY THE COMPLAINTS ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE MINE. HONDA SHOULD RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR A FAULTY POWER STEERING PUMP AND TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE
THE POWER BACK HATCH ON MY 2009 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL SLAMS SHUT AND WILL NOT HOLD. THE POWER BACK HATCH OPENS ALL THE WAY UP, TRIES TO STAY UP BUT SLAMS BACK DOWN. IT FAILED INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST BUT IS FAILING ALL THE TIME NOW. THE HATCH SLAMS WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE AND IF ANY OF MY 3 KIDS ARE IN THE VICINITY IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. A VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I HAVE A FULL FRONT TO BACK WARRANTY AND APPARENTLY IT DOES NOT COVER THE BACK HATCH. *TR

STEERING
WE FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH OUR ODYSSEY WHEN THE LOW-SPEED STEERING (E.G. NAVIGATING PARKING SPACES) BECAME VERY DIFFICULT, AS IF THE POWER STEERING WERE OFF. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CLEANED THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM AS PER A SERVICE BULLETIN. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER WE NOTICED THAT AFTER DRIVING THE VAN FOR AT LEAST APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES, THE POWER STEERING PUMP MADE AN AUDIBLE HUM OR WHIRRING THAT COULD BE HEARD AT LOW SPEEDS. THE NOISE WOULD CHANGE PITCH ALONG WITH THE ENGINE. SOMETIMES, THE LOW-SPEED STEERING WOULD AGAIN BE DIFFICULT, BUT NOT TO THE SAME EXTREME AS BEFORE AND FAR LESS OFTEN. WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY REPORTED THAT A SEAL WAS BROKEN IN THE STEERING RACK AND THAT THE PUMP ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT NOT REPLACING BOTH THESE ITEMS, AT A COST OF $2500.00, COULD LEAD TO POWER STEERING LOSS AND CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. SO WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO REPLACE THESE ITEMS EVEN THOUGH THE VAN ONLY HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST BECAME NOTICEABLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE VEHICLE ENGINE IS SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING. THERE HAVE BEEN APPROXIMATELY 6 INSTANCES OF THE VEHICLE BEING OPERATED AND THEN THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IN REVERSE. THERE HAVE BEEN 3 INCIDENTS AT LOW SPEED, WHILE MAKING TURNS, AND 2 INCIDENTS WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEED (ONE AT 40 MPH AND ONE AT 70 MPH). THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS BUT THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES SENT TO THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT ON 3/6/2011 WAS WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. WE REFERRED THE SERVICE WRITER TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 05V132000 AND 07V097000 BUT HE WAS UNWILLING TO CONSIDER THAT OUR ISSUE WAS RELATED TO EITHER OF THESE PREVIOUSLY NOTED FAILURES.
