2010 Honda Odyssey Steering Problems

“We purchased a 2010 braun entervan in late 2011. It was new with 17 miles. We noticed water collecting under front seats at about 15000 miles. It was rusting our seat anchors which could lead to failure in a crash. It also has persistent steering problems and tire wearing at 15000 miles. It was returned to braun for repair because we insisted and worked closely with the braun corporation. …”

“Pivot bolt on the auto-tensioner broke twice. The first time the pivot bolt broke was after I had the alternator replaced and I was driving down the highway to take children to school in subzero winter conditions.

It has required multiple wheel alignments which really don't help. Now it has issues with steering when at slow speeds, particularly in parking lots and/or going in/out of driveways, making loud clunking noises.I received notices regarding updates for which I took the vehicle into the dealer to complete. This did not help with the steering issues. …”
