“My Honda Odyssey has developed a vibration in the front end. We've replaced the rims, tires, and suspension to no avail. The vibration can be overwhelming at times. We are unaware of anything that could have caused this since it came on gradually. It appears to be worse in the winter.”
NHTSA complaint #11288812, filed 2019-12, 150,000 miles“I've been having problems for years with the power steering but it has gotten worse. Now I see Honda extended the warranty but I was never notified. I bought my van brand new. I should have been notified. I have trouble parking and turning at low speeds, the power steering locks up and makes it feel as though I have no power steering when turning. The recall should have been offered to all owners.”
NHTSA complaint #10966209, filed 2017-03, 100,000 miles“When I am driving my van at about 65 and above and when I hit the brake the steering wheel starts to vibrate very badly. This does not happen I am driving at less than 60 MPH. Every time this happens, I feel like I might crash into other vehicles or run off the road due to the vehicle becoming very unstable. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership several times but they test drive it and say that there is no issues.”
NHTSA complaint #10850652, filed 2016-03, 121,000 miles“This vehicle is very hard to steering when it stops or in low speed. I talked with Honda customer service. They claimed that it is out of warranty. However, I found there are lots of same problems described on-line. I believe Honda should provide a service recall on this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10760727, filed 2015-09, 74,000 miles“We were out of the house and on to a city street, suddenly battery light is on and cannot steer at all. Almost got into crash. Turns out the serpentine belt tensioner, new from Honda dealer in 2017, its bolt sheared off three months after installation. If this happened on the highway, it would most certainly got us into an accident. Honda should recall all the drive belt tensioner, but unfortunately, we have no choice but put in another Honda tensioner.”
