1999 Honda Odyssey Steering Problems

“Recently, while traveling on interstate 94, the check engine light came on in my vehicle along with a light that reads tcs . Shortly after these two lights came on, my vehicle began having problems accelerating. When I drive my vehicle, I have problems with the van taking off and maintaining stability once in motion. During travel on highways, freeways, interstates, or city streets, my vehicle violently shifts from first gear to second gear when I press on the accelerator, causing it to slow down unexpectedly before jerking into motion in the middle of traffic. …”

“In may of 2002, I purchased a used 1999 Honda Odyssey from a reputable Honda dealer in conway, ar. At the time of purchase, the car had 48,680 miles. The car was in excellent shape. Approximately five months later, I noticed two things: my gears were slipping and my power steering fluid getting very low. On 10/29/02 (and 57,163 miles), I brought the vehicle to the Honda dealer where I reside in monroe, la. It was determined from the technician that my power steering rack was leaking and that I had to replace my entire steering rack. Thank goodness for the extended warranty! Rack was replaced.”

“At speeds 70 MPH and greater, a severe vibration occurs in the steering wheel. The dealer told me it was due to the tires and that I should replace them. At approx 20,000 miles I decided to do so and the vibration went away. I have heard that Honda is reimbursing some owners for the expense of new tires in this situation. I am looking for the same from Honda.( DOT number: )”
