TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, REAR TOYO TIRE BLEW OUT. REQUIRED REPLACING 2 TIRES, THE ONE BLOW OUT AND ANOTHER IN FRONT THAT HAD TREAD SEPARATION ISSUES IDENTIFIED BY TIRE MECHANIC. UPON RETURN FROM TRIP, TAKEN BACK TO INSTALLATION DEALER AND THEY CONTACTED TOYO WHO OFFERED A $30 REFUND ON EACH. SINCE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS FOR 4 TIRES, THE TWO REMAINING TIRES WERE ALSO AT RISK FOR SIMILAR BLOW OUT. TOYO DID NOT WANT TO OFFER REFUND UNLESS PROOF OF TIRE ROTATION WAS PROVIDED. THE ISSUE WAS ULTIMATELY WITH A FAULTY BLOW-OUT (3 TIRE DEALERS STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WEAR-AND-TEAR ISSUE BUT A DEFECT) AND NOT A MATTER OF GETTING REFUND YET TOYO'S FOCUS WAS ON PROVING THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT MAINTAINED RATHER THAN DEALING WITH AN OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS PRODUCT OUT IN THE MARKET. *TR

TIRES, WHEELS
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE! I HAD DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON WHAT TYPE OF USED MINI VAN WAS THE BEST ON THE MARKET. HONDA KEPT POPPING UP, SO I WENT AND PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING. I LOVED IT UNTIL I GOT A FLAT TIRE. I TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT TIRE STORE (THE SAME PLACE WE TOOK OUR TOYOTA). THAT IS WHERE WE INFORMED THAT WE HAVE THE PAX TIRE SYSTEM. FROM THERE IT'S BEEN A DISASTER! I'VE CALLED MICHELIN AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, NOBODY WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THIS SITUATION RIGHT! IT SHOULD BE DISCLOSED TO BUYERS BEFORE THEY PURCHASE A CAR WITH THIS TIRE SYSTEM ON IT. THE TIRES COST 300$ A PIECE AND I WAS INFORMED BY MICHELIN THAT THEY ONLY LAST UP TO 36K MILES. THE TIRES THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW, STILL SHOULD HAVE 50% OF THEIR LIFE, HOWEVER MY REAR TIRE NOW HAS A "BUBBLE" ON IT. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! SHAME ON HONDA AND MICHELIN FOR NOT DOING THE RIGHT THING! I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA OR MICHELIN TIRE! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OUR VAN HAS TWO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. MOST OF OUR CAR'S MILEAGE IS HIGHWAY AND EASY DRIVING. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO GOOD REASON FOR WHY THEY ARE BROKEN. JUDGING FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS ON-LINE, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE DESIGN IS POOR AND THE COST TO REPAIR THEM (REPLACE) IS EXTREMELY HIGH. NOT SURE IF THIS FALLS WITHIN YOUR AREA OF REVIEW OR NOT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 3 CHILDREN AND APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. I PRESSED MY BRAKES, AND THEY COMPLETELY FROZE. I COULD NOT PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN. IT WAS LIKE STEPPING ON A BRICK. IT WOULD NOT MOVE DOWN AT ALL. I WAS SLAMMING MY FOOT DOWN ON THE PETAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS GOING SLOW AT THE TIME, AFTER SLAMMING THE BRAKES NUMEROUS TIMES, THE PEDAL SEEMED TO RAISE A BIT AND I WAS ABLE TO PUSH IT DOWN. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 5 DIFFERENT TIMES. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP THE SAME DAY IT INITIALLY HAPPENED AND THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES AND TOOK IT TO OUR HONDA DEALER. (BURNS HONDA), THEY SAID IT FELL INTO A RECALL AND FIXED THE PROBLEM. TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME THERE WERE TWO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. MY CAR IS BACK AT THE HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO ONCE AGAIN "RE-CREATE" THE PROBLEM. I FEEL MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO GET IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND HURT MYSELF, MY FAMILY OR SOMEONE ELSE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. I AM NOT SURE WHERE TO GO FOR HELP. I CALLED THE SERVICE DIRECTOR 3 TIMES AFTER RESEARCHING BRAKES ISSUES ON THE INTERNET AND BELIEVE I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM RELEASE. THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AGREED THAT HE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT WASN'T SURE HOW TO FIX IT. *TR

STEERING
STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP MIDWAY INTO STEERING WHEN TURNING. THIS HAPPENED TWICE TODAY. YOU HAVE TO STEERING IT OTHER WAY OR LOOSENS UP AFTER FEW SECONDS. I HAVE HAD THE RECALL SERVICE ALREADY PERFORMED REGARDING RECENT HARD TO STEER AT LOW SPEED. NOW IT COMPLETELY LOCKS UP - MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD!!! *TR

ENGINE
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE REAR AND SIDE ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE FAILED, AT 72,000 MILES. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THE ENGINE MOUNTS SHOULD NOT FAIL AT THIS MILEAGE. I HAD NOTICED A RUMBLING NOISE AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING IN ECO MODE, AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS NOISE WAS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS. IT IS A DEFECT THAT IF NOT REPAIRED WOULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE FALLING OUT OF THE VEHICLE, CLEARLY A DEFECT. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ENGINE MOUNTS AND CORRECT THIS DEFECT IN DESIGN IN FUTURE MODELS. *TR

TIRES:TREAD/BELT, TIRES
WHILE DRIVING ON I-81. I HEARD A BRIEF, UNUSUAL SOUND INSIDE MY HONDA ODYSSEY, THEN THE LEFT REAR TIRE SUFFERED AN IMMEDIATE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE TIRE TREAD JUST PEELED OFF THE TIRE. FORTUNATELY THE TIRE DID NOT DEFLATE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PARK OFF THE INTERSTATE AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VAN SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT BODY DAMAGE FROM THE TIRE THREAD DEBRIS. I WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER. THEY HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR TIRES WITH ANOTHER BRAND BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SELL TOYO AND IT WAS AFTER 6 P.M. THEY ALSO WERE ABLE TO MAKE THE VAN SAFE FOR HIGHWAY TRAVEL BY REMOVING BROKEN BODY PARTS AND SECURING OTHER BODY COMPONENTS THAT ALLOWED ME TO CONTINUE MY JOURNEY BACK HOME WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENTS.....UPDATED 05/23/12 *BF UPDATED 06/06/2012 *JS *TR

TIRES
I PURCHASED A SET OF 4 TOYO VERSADO LX TIRES ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. IN THE LAST MONTH, ONE TIRE COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED ON THE INTERSTATE AND WE WERE LUCKY TO KEEP CONTROL! THE OUTER TREAD COMPLETELY PEELED OFF LIKE YOU SEE FROM 18-WHEELERS. JUST A FEW WEEKS LATER, WE HAD TERRIBLE VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT END. TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALER WHO DETERMINED ANOTHER OF THE TIRES WAS COMPLETELY DEFECTIVE. THE TREADS WERE SEPARATING FROM THE INSIDE, AND THE TIRE WAS EFFECTIVELY SQUARE. ALL OF THE TIRES HAD PLENTY OF WEAR LEFT. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP TO TURN IT ON MANUAL SO WE COULD DRIVE IT WITH OUT HEARING THE DOOR ALARM. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO DRIVE WHILE ONE MANUAL. WHILE DRIVING YOU COULD HEAR THE DOOR TRYING TO LATCH AUTO EVEN WHEN IT WAS SET TO MANUAL. WHEN I WAS TURNING A CORNER THE DRIVERSIDE PASSENGER DOOR POPPED OPEN AND SLID ALL THE WAY OPEN. WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE OTHER SLIDING DOOR LAST YEAR AND THE DEALERSHIP ENDED UP REPLACING THE LATCH ON THAT DOOR BUT THE DOOR NEVER OPENED ALL THE WAY. I WOULD HAVE THOUGH THERE WOULD BE A SAFETY MECHANISM IN PLACE ON THOSE DOORS TO PREVENT IT FROM OPENING WHILE DRIVING BUT I WAS WRONG. *TR

POWER TRAIN
SOON AFTER PURCHASING OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX I NOTICED A SHUDDER WHEN I WAS GOING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC. IT HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING UP. USUALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS I'M ONLY GOING BETWEEN 30-45. IT SEEMS FINE WHEN I QUICKLY ACCELERATE. NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I KNOW IT'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T FIND THE SHUDDER. IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ONLY DROVE IT FOR 2 MILES. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH HONDA AND WON'T EVER PURCHASE ONE AGAIN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2006 ODYSSEY HAS WARPED BRAKE ROTORS, BUT THE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS ARE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP; THIS IS "VERY NORMAL" FOR ODYSSEY EVEN FOR 1 OR 2 YEAR OLD VAN. MY ROTORS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE WARPED, NOT DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR (BECOMING TOO THIN). THIS IS MORE LIKE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT PARTS THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM. *JS

ENGINE WHINES AND SHAKES STEERING WHEEL. FIRST AT 70000 MILES. CHECKED AND ADDED PS FLUID. WORKED FOR A WHILE. 73K STARTED AGAIN. ADDED MORE FLUID. 75K REPLACED DRIVE BELT. 80K NOTICED INCREASED NOISE (WHINING), BUT NO SHAKING OF THE WHEEL. BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH OTHERS AND HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS, BUT NO RECALL. MECHANIC STATED THAT AT HIGH SPEEDS (HWY), PS PUMP SEAL COULD FAIL, LEAK AND CAUSE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. CALLED HONDA USA AND THEY SAID YES TO WARRANTY, BUT NO TO SAFETY CAMPAIGN- HOW CAN THEY BE SO IRRESPONSIBLE! *TR
