2007 Honda Odyssey Tires Problems

“Going south on hwy 5 from just outside sacrament, (by freeport) we struck something not visible in the road and the vehicle warned us we had a flat and not to exceed 50 MPH. Our minivan was equipped with michelin pax system run flat tires and no spare. We pulled of the hwy at elk grove and called the local Honda dealer. It was almost 5pm and they said could not help until tuesday. The manual said we could go 125 miles with a flat tire and our home was less than 60 miles away so we put on the cruise control at 50 MPH on hwy 5, then hwy 12 west, and then hwy 160 south. …”

“Honda Odyssey 2007. Sudden unintended acceleration. While approaching at about 5mph to a stop sign with a stopped vehicle before me, I applied the brake but rather than stopping, the car lurched and the tachometer rose to >2000. I kept my foot down and applied more force on the brake and the car then came to full stop. This is very disconcerting. We bought this vehicle new and after ~ 15000 miles, the car vibrated excessively while traveling at 60-70 MPH. Per repair shops, all four tires were deformed and cannot be repaired and needed to be replaced.”

“2007 Honda Odyssey - problem is the vehicle / tire design. The van has the michelin pax tires; the combination of the van and tires results in ridiculous poor tread life resulting in excessive replacement costs. Our vehicle has 36k miles. We have had one tire replaced under warranty but had to pay over $100 in labor only to replace the tire. In december of 2008, I replaced two front tires (over $300 per tire) plus paid money to get all 4-wheels aligned (as a security measure to minimize any possible tire wear). 3-months later, my two rear tires had an excessive wear pattern on the inside wall. …”

“Purchased car in december 2013. Vehicle makes a rumbling sound above the radio dash board when car reaches 30-35 miles per hour. Took car to service and was informed that car needed front end alignment and that tires were not wearing evenly. Had front end alignment completed. Car still makes rumbling sound. Have not had this experience on previous models. Sound is annoying. Considering rotating and/or replacing tires. What then if sound continues?”

“Tpms warning light remains on. After 6 visits to the Honda dealer and multiple diagnosis, still unresolved and the light will not go off. Tpms sensor has been changed twice on two different wheels, system reset and the warning light comes back on with a few days or 100 miles and will not go off. Dealer has no idea why this gov.'t mandated system will not work. Please advise.”
