  AFTER INSTALLING NEW SET OF 4 TIRES FOR MY HONDA ODYSSEY AND HAVE THE TIRES BALANCE AND ALIGN BY PROFESSIONAL GOODYEARS SERVICE MECHANICS. I CAN FEEL THE MINI VAN KEEP PULLING TO THE LEFT PRETTY FAST AND DANGEROUSLY. I TALK TO THE WHEEL SHOPS MANAGER, AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SINCE THE WHEEL ALIGNMENT IS FINE. AFTER LOOKING AT THIS ISSUES ONLINE, I SEE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO OWN 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND TURN OUT TO BE ISSUES WITH THE FACTORY INSTALLED SPRING AND STRUT THAT NEED TO BE ALIGNED AND FIXED. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR SUDDEN TURN TO THE LEFT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF WARNING ON HWY 85. *TR

• 12/29/2017· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  MY HONDA ODYSSEY SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING, AT THAT TIME YOU CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL (OR IT IS VERY VERY HARD TO TURN). THIS IS PRECEDED BY USUALLY THE LIGHTS ON DASHBOARDS FLASHING. SOMETIMES IT WILL SHUT OFF (DASHBOARD WILL GO BLACK) AND COME RIGHT BACK AFTER FEW SECONDS. OTHER TIMES THE I HAVE TO STOP AND TURN IT ON AGAIN AND IT WORKS. YESTERDAY IT TURNED OFF AND THE CAR CAME TO STOP THEN I MOVED THE BATTERY LITTLE AND THE HAZARD LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. WHEN IT'S COMPLETELY DEAD EVEN HAZARD LIGHT WOULD NOT BLINK. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND EVEN AFTER MOVING THE BATTERY IT DID NOT GET POWER BACK. I HAD LEFT THE HAZARD LIGHT ON BUT IT WAS NOT BLINKING. HOWEVER AFTER AROUND 5 MINUTES OR SO ON IT'S OWN THE HAZARD LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND I COULD DRIVE OFF.

• 12/28/2010· SERVICE BRAKES, AIRCrash

  I WAS TRYING TO TRYING TO STOP MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY VERY QUICKLY TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND HIT THE BRAKES ONLY TO HAVE NOTHING HAPPEN. THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP UNTIL IT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT - THE PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR. I HAD PREVIOUSLY TALKED WITH HONDA ABOUT THE BRAKE PADS AND RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED "SQUISHY" BRAKE PROBLEMS, BUT NO SOLUTIONS. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I TALKED WITH HONDA WHO WAS JUST RELEASING A SAFETY RECALL FOR LOW/SOFT BRAKE PEDAL : "AIR MAY ENTER THE MODULATOR DUE TO IMPROPER SEALING MATERIAL OF THE VSA MODULATOR CONTROL UNIT". THEY BLED BRAKES USING SPECIAL PROCEDURE AND INSTALLED (2) MODULATOR SEALING CAPS OVER THE TWO (2) PLUGS ON THE SIDES OF THE VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT TO CORRECT PER BULLETIN 1030A5 (ELEMENT) .6 & 4130A5 (ODYSSEY) .7. *TR

• 12/26/2011· STEERING

  AFTER DRIVING APX. 50 MILES MOST OF THEM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UPON EXITING THE HIGHWAY AND WAITING TO MAKE A TURN I HEARD A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DO SO. THE NOISE CONTINUED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN AT TIMES AS IF YOU HAD LOSS POWER ASSIT. I PARKED THE VAN AND CKECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVEL, LEVEL WAS GOOD, BUT IT LOOKED FOAMY. THE VAN SAT FOR APX. 3 HOURS I CHECKED THE FLUID AGAIN AND IT LOOKED NORMAL. AFTER STARTING THE VAN THE NOISE WAS NOT AS PRONOUNCED AND STEERING SEEMED OK, BUT AFTER MAKING THE 50 MILE RETURN TRIP HOME THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET I FIND THIS IS A PROBLEM HONDA IS AWARE OF SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED AT LEAST TWO SERVICE BULLETINS 07-005 AND 10-076 TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK ANY PROBLEM THAT WOULD AFFECT THE STEERING OF A VEHICLE AT SLOW OR HIGH SPEED SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. YOU COULD LOOSE THE ABILITY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN AT EITHER SPEED OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT IS NOT AS IF THIS IS DUE TO POOR OR LACK OF MAINTANCE, OR HIGH MILAGE. THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO HAPPEN WAY BEFORE A VEHICLE OF THIS COST AND PRECEIVED QUALITY SHOULD START HAVING PROBLEMS, TO A SYSTEM THAT AFFECTS IT'S SAFE OPERATION. SOME HAVE OCCURED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR MY VAN, BUT IT HAS BEEN SERVICED BY A HONDA DEALER SINCE NEW. I HOPE HUMAN LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE LOST OR SERIOUS INJURY OCCUR BEFORE THIS ON GOING PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM IF THEY WILL NOT DO THE RIGHT THING, THEN SOMEBODY NEEDS TO MAKE THEM, AND FIX THE POWER STEERING PUMPS. *TR

  AFTER 3.5 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY, I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT ON THE ROOF AND ON THE TOP OF THE FRONT FENDERS STARTED PEELING OFF. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND SHOWED THEM A COPY OF HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN # 08-031 THAT DESCRIBES THE PAINT PEELING PROBLEM AND HOW TO FIX IT. IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN, HONDA WILL FIX THE PAINT PROBLEM AND WARRANTY THE PAINT FOR 7 YEARS. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PAINT TO PRIMER ADHESION ISSUE. WITHOUT A SOLID PAINT COVERING ON THE VAN, IT WILL RUST PREMATURELY AND LOSE VALUE VERY FAST. THIS PAINT TO PRIMER ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AMONG MANY HONDA VEHICLES AND MODEL YEARS AND COLORS YET THE SERVICE BULLETIN ONLY MENTIONS PAINT PEELING ON DARK BLUE 2003-2005 ODYSSEYS BUILT AT THE ALABAMA PLANT WITH VINS STARTING WITH 5FN . MY ODYSSEY IS A 2007 WITH LIGHT BLUE PAINT, WAS BUILT AT THE SAME ALABAMA PLANT AND MY VIN STARTS WITH 5FN . I HAVE THE SAME PAINT ISSUE AND THE PICTURES OF PEELING PAINT IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN ARE EXACTLY LIKE MY PROBLEM AND IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOTS. CLEARLY THE PAINT PROBLEM IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN HONDA IS WILLING TO ADMIT. PLEASE BRING THIS ISSUE IN BEHALF OF MANY HONDA OWNERS TO HONDA'S ATTENTION AND I HOPE THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX OUR CARS AND FIX THE POTENTIAL PAINT PEELING PROBLEMS OF NEW CARS. *TR

  2007 ODYSSEY WITH SOFT BRAKES. THE RECALL FIX WAS DONE IN SUMMER 2010. ABOUT LATE NOVEMBER 2010 EARLY DECEMBER 2010, I NOTICED THE BRAKES FELT SOFT AGAIN. ON 12/13/2010, I TOOK CAR INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR A ROTATION/OIL CHANGE AND TO CHECK THE BRAKES. AGAIN, THERE WAS AIR IN THE BRAKE LINE. THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN THAT THE RECALL SOLUTION WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX. SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS FIXED THIS TIME. I DROVE IT HOME, ABOUT 6 MILES, AND PARKED IT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. MY WIFE GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND DROVE ABOUT 1 MILE WHEN SHE CALLED SAYING THE BRAKES WERE RANDOMLY GOING FROM REALLY SOFT TO HER NOT BEING ABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AN INCH. SHE IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE CAR AND WAS SCARED TO DEATH. ULTIMATELY, WE HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP. PRIOR TO THE TOW, THE VSA LIGHT AND VSA INDICATOR STAYED ON AND THEN WENT OFF. ALL THIS INFO WAS PROVIDED TO "MIKE" AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP...IMMEDIATELY...AND I MEAN IMMEDIATELY...HONDA AGREED TO PAY THE TOW, FIX THE PROBLEM AND PROVIDE ME A RENTAL. THE CAR IS TO BE FIXED ON 12/14/2010. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

• 12/12/2012· SEAT BELTS

  WE HAD RARELY USED OUR THIRD SEAT, WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE THIRD SEAT, PASSENGER-SIDE SEAT BELT HAD A RIP IN IT. IT CAME UNTHREADED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BELT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS OUR DOG; HOWEVER A LARGE BREED DOG COULD NOT HAVE CHEWED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE SEATBELT AND THERE WERE NO OTHER DOG TEETH MARKS ON THE BELT. BUT, I REPAIRED IT THINKING THAT IT WAS MY DOG AND THE DOG WAS BANNED FROM THE CAR. HOWEVER, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS BELT. WITH THE SEATBELT RARELY BEING USED, ONCE A NEW SEATBELT IS INSTALLED, IT BEGINS TO FRAY AND BECOMES UNTHREADED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BELT AND THEN COMES COMPLETELY APART. SOMETIMES THE FRAYING HAS BEEN ABOVE THE COVER AND EXPOSED, BUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE FRAYING BEGAN IN THE PART OF THE SEATBELT THAT IS COVERED AND INACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 5 NEW SEATBELTS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO EACH ONE. IN ONE CASE, A NEW SEATBELT WAS INSTALLED AND WITHOUT EVER BEING USED, THIS STILL OCCURRED. ONCE THE NEW SEATBELT WAS INSTALLED, I CHECKED THE SEATBELT DAILY, AND 7 DAYS AFTER THE NEW ONE WAS INSTALLED, IT BEGAN TO FRAY AGAIN AND THEN IT COMPLETELY SEPARATELY. THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO BLAME THE USER, ALTHOUGH THESE SEATBELTS WERE NEVER OR RARELY USED. THIS WENT ON FOR OVER TWO YEARS. I HAVE NOT HAD A WORKING SEATBELT IN THAT SEAT FOR OVER ONE YEAR. NOW, THIS PAST WEEK, A SEATBELT THAT IS USED DAILY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS FRAYING ACROSS THE SEATBELT AND IT HAS BECOME UNUSABLE. WE CAN'T EVEN PULL THE SEATBELT BECAUSE THE FRAYED AREA GETS CAUGHT IN THE TOP SHOULDER MECHANISM. *TR
