2005 Honda Odyssey Other / unspecified Problems

THE STEEL WHEEL ON DRIVER SIDE FRONT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A MAJOR CRACK IN IT. UPON EXAMINATION BY HONDA OF WESTPORT, FETZER TIRE AND HANK MAY IT IS THEIR CONCLUSION THAT THE WHEEL HAS STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT COULD LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. THE WHEEL WAS PURCHASED AT HANK MAY IN STAMFORD CT., WHO GOT THE WHEELS FROM WHEEL FIX IT IN FREEPORT LONG ISLAND (WWW.WHEELFIXIT.COM/). THEY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY ISSUE OR RESPONSIBILITY RE: THE WHEEL. IN ADDITION, THESE WHEELS I HAVE LEARNED....NEVER DID 'FIT' THE ODYSSEY. THEY WERE MACHINE LATHED POORLY AND BOUNCED ON THE HUB SPOKES, CAUSING VIBRATION. AGAIN, WHEEL FIX IT DENIES ANY ISSUE WITH THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT. I HAVE PHOTO'S OF THE CRACKED WHEEL WHICH I HAVE TAKEN OFF THE CAR, OF COURSE.

I WAS NOT AWARE THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. MY LOCAL DEALER (AUTOPARKS HONDA, CARY, NC) IS TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL IS OVER AND THE EXTENDED RECALL IS OVER SO THEY CANNOT FIX IT AT NO COST TO ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART. IT IS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I REALLY LIKE MY ODYSSEY AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HONDA STAND BEHIND THEIR RECALLS. *TR

PLEASE TELL HONDA NOT TO SELL / MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE WHEEL LOCKS. MY HONDA DEALER SOLD BE A HONDA ODYSSEY VAN (BRAND NEW) WITH WHEEL LOCKS. THE WHEEL LOCKS WERE MANUFACTURED BY HONDA. THE WHEEL LOCKS HAVE GOT STUCK IN THE TIRE AND IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE OUT. THIS BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE AS WHEN THE TIRE BLEW OUT, I AND 3 DIFFERENT TOW COMPANIES COULD NOT REMOVE THE WHEEL LOCK. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED IN TO THE DEALER. *TR

THE MICHELIN PAX TIRE SYSTEM: HONDA USED THIS PAX SYSTEM ON TOURING VERSIONS OF THE ODYSSEY MINI VAN IN 2005 (AND BEYOND BUT MINE IS A 2005). THESE TIRES WEAR EXTREMELY FAST AND UNEVENLY. THEY ARE EITHER AN EXTREMELY POOR DESIGN OR ARE DEFECTIVE. REPLACEMENTS CAN ONLY BE FOUND AT HONDA DEALERS. THIS IS MOSTLY AN ANNOYANCE AND ENDS UP COSTING THE OWNER THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS MORE OVER THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT MAY LEAD TO SAFETY ISSUES IN THE EVENT THE AVERAGE OWNER DOESN'T THINK TO CHECK THEIR TIRES AS FREQUENTLY AT A RATE THAT WOULD CATCH A PROBLEM. *TR

ON HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 MODEL YEAR (POTENTIALLY OTHER MODEL YEARS TOO), THE FLAWED PLACEMENT OF AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER IN THE FRONT WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION CAUSE CONDENSER TO FAIL UPON IMPACT FROM ROAD DEBRIS FLYING INTO IT. WHEN CONDENSER FAILS AND LEAKS, LIGHT SMOKE IS OBSERVED. THIS IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD, NOT TO MENTION UP TO $1000 COST INCURRED TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER AND FIX THE AC SYSTEM. HONDA NEEDS TO FIX THIS DESIGN FLAW FOR ITS CUSTOMERS BY EITHER SHIELD THE CONDENSER OR MOVE IT TO A LOCATION LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROAD DEBRIS IMPACT. THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR EXPOSING THIS VITAL PART... *TR
