STRUCTURE:BODY
THE SUNVISORS ARE SO LOOSE THAT WHEN NORMAL BREAKING PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE CAR, THE VISORS WILL MOVE OUT OF POSITION IF NOT LOCKED, BLINDING THE DRIVER. THE VISORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE, RE-TIGHTENED ONCE. TWO DEALERSHIPS CLAIM THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. I CONTACTED HONDA WHO SAID THAT ONLY A DEALER COULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD, AS I'VE ALMOST WRECKED WHEN I WAS BLINDED WHEN SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE THE SUN VISOR MOVED. *AK

TIRES
THE AFFINITY FIRESTONE TIRES RIPPED ALL AWAY AROUND THE TREAD OF THE TIRE NEAR THE OUTSIDE WALL ON THE FRONT TIRES. THESE HARE 80,000 MILE TREAD WARRANTY AND THESE TIRES WERE COMMING APART AT 35,000 MILES. THE TIRES WERE PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND WERE ROTATED ON SCHEDULE. THESE TIRES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A RECALL SIMILAR TO THE OTHER CURRENTLY FIRESTONES TIRES. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT GO UNNOTICED BY THE NHTSA. WE ARE VERY LUCKLY THAT WE CAUGHT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A FAILURE OCCURED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN TIRES COME APART LIKE THIS. PLEASE TAKE ACTION QUICKLY. THE 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY IS THE FIRST YEAR OF ITS NEW HEAVIER/BIGGER DESIGN. WHETHER THIS A TIRE ISSUE OR A CAR ISSUE A SAFETRY CONCERN EXIST.*AK (TIRESIZE: P215/65R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/65R16 )

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THIS CAR CAUSES THE SPEED TO INCREASE WHILE TRAVELING UP LONGER GRADES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES DURING OUR OWNERSHIP WHEN THIS HAD CAUSED VERY AWKWARD AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. OTHER DRIVERS WHO BEGIN TO PASS ON A HILL HAVE GOTTEN ANNOYED WHEN OUR CAR PICKS UP SPEED WHILE THEY ARE TRYING TO PASS. ON OCCASION THE INCREASE IN SPEED HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIAL, AS MUCH AS 8 MILES PER HOUR. SOMETIMES, WHEN CRESTING A HILL, THE CAR CONTINUES AT THE FASTER SPEED, WANTING TO GAIN EVEN MORE SPEED AT THE NEXT HILL. THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THIS IS TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE WHEN APPROACHING HILLS. THIS PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALER EARLY ON, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *AK
