2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L, STEERING WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS FREEZE AND DOES NOT TURN IN ANY DIRECTION. IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THERE IS SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, IN A PARKING LOT AND REVERSING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER WHO WANTED 600 TO FIX THIS ISSUE AS BEING STEERING PUMP RELATED ISSUE. WE HAD AN EXTENDED SERVICE PLAN IN WHICH THE DEALER DID A POWER STEERING FLUSH THAT DID NOT HELP AT ALL. WE WEN TO THE DEALER WITH THIS ISSUE AFTER ABOUT 1 YEAR LATTER AND SINCE THEN THERE WAS NOTHING DONE REGARDING THIS. RECENTLY OUR HONDA WARRANTY EXPIRED IN JULY 2009 AND THE MILES ON THE CAR ARE ABOUT 35K. ALL THESE DAYS WE WERE ABLE TO ATLEAST NAVIGATE THE WHEEL EVEN IT WAS TIGHT BUT RECENTLY SINCE LAST 1 MONTH THE CAR ON SLOW SPEEDS OR ON NEUTRAL DOES NOT TURN THE WHEEL AT ALL. I REQUEST NHTSA TO PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE WITH HONDA VANS. I SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AND COUPLE OF THEM DID MENTION THIS SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER HE AVOIDED UNTIL THE WARRANTY IS OVER AND NOW IS TRYING TO CHEAT US. *TR

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY VEHICLE WAS SMOKING UPON ARRIVING AT DESTINATION. THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT OF VAN, ODOR PRESENT. TWO DAYS LATER, AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT WORKING. TOOK VAN TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT A ROCK MUST HAVE HIT THE CONDENSER. THEY SAID THIS IS NOT COVERED BY MY 60,000 MILE HONDA CARE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WASN'T MECHANICAL. THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, EVEN THE DEALER SAID THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THE ODYSSEY. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN FLAW & A RECALL IS DUE. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. I STARTED TO FEEL THE VEHICLE BREAK PEDALS SOFT AND LOW OVER 2 YEARS AGO. THE PROBLEM RESULTS ME HAVING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE FOR SAFETY. EACH TIME WHEN I DRIVE IT I HAVE TO PAY EXTRA ATTENTION TO KEEP THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WENT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR LAST YEAR WHEN I HAD NORMAL SERVICES. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG AND IT CAN?T BE ADJUSTED. I WENT TO THE SAME DEALER AGAIN FOR NORMAL SERVICE YESTERDAY AND ASKED FOR BREAK CHECK UP AGAIN. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY FOUND THAT VSA MODULATOR IS IN FAULTY AND IT WILL COST ME AROUND $1,000 JUST FOR PARTS SINCE MY WARRANTY TIME IS OVER. I STATED I HAD THIS PROBLEM 2 YEARS AGO AND YOU CHECK AND FOUND IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY. PLUS, MY ODYSSEY ONLY HAS 10,000 MILES ON THE METER SINCE THIS IS OUR SPARE VEHICLE WE DON'T DRIVE MUCH. THE DEALER AGREED WITH ME AND ARRANGED FOR ANOTHER FULL DAY RE-CHECK UP AND WILL GET HONDA TO INVOLVE. TODAY I HAPPENED TO SEE ONLINE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. AS OF THE FEATURE OF THE VAN, MOST OF TIME WE HAVE CHILDREN ON BOARD. WHAT A DANGEROUS "GAME" WE ARE PLAYING! THANKS GOD, WE DON'T USE IT MUCH AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY INCIDENT. JUST NOTICE I HAVE TO INPUT THE INCIDENT DATE BELOW BEFORE SUBMISSION. I PUT A DUMMY DATE OF 01-01-06 INSTEAD ( I BOUGHT MY ODYSSEY AFTER THIS DATE). *TR
