Front Suspension problems of the 2000 Honda Odyssey

2000 Honda Odyssey with ~103k miles. Normal wear and tear. Broken right front spring. Could have caused serious injury if spring would cut tire at highway speeds. Will be replacing next week.

2000 Honda Odyssey coil spring failure on drivers side and transmission failure.

While driving on a city street, a loud noise from the right side. Abs light came on, but reset after restarting van. Stopped and looked under van, but all looked okay. When driving car would suddenly pull hard to right. Noise continued and next day repair shop informed that right coil spring was broken and we were lucky it didn't puncture tire. They cut a portion of the spring away to keep spring from causing blowout. Not repaired as cost prohibitive.

Problem:1). Steering vibration-the steering wheel on the vehicle vibrates vigorously at 65+ mph. Original dealer refused to repair. Brought vehicle to dealer b. Dealer b attempted to repair with balancing, quoted original tireswere out of round (defective.

My wife experienced a castrophic failure of the right front susspension. The wheel buckeled under the car after the suspension broke. She was traveling at 30mph at the time of the failure. Honda did not interview her or the police officer to get any information related to the failure. They looked at the car in the shop and said my wife hit something to cause the failure. Both she and the police officer disagree with their assessment. I am disapointed that Honda was not interested in talking with my wife about the failure and placing blame on her for this failure. It could have been much more drastic if she had been traveling at higher speeds.

From week of purchase, front end has vibrated vigorously at 65+ mph. Dealer was unable to align properly. After second visit, dealer said problem could not be fixed. I had to replace original tires at 18,000 miles due to excessive wear. I'm concerned about continued excessive tire wear, and wonder if vibrations will eventually result in other component failure.

After purchasing vehicle from dealer I noticed that the vehicle was pulling hard to the right. After several attempts to repair this problem by the dealer, the vehicle still is pulling after all four camber bolts have been replaced and many alignments. Now the front tires are worn out. Tires firestone.

This problem has happened for several months. Alignment by dealer did not solve problem. When turning either direction it either goes approx 45 degree angle or so left or right into curb/side of road, does not return to center of road like it should without holding onto steering wheel very hard and agressively controlling it. It also will veer to the right when driving down the road--even in far left lane--if I direct it left it always veers to the right. Doesn't matter which road I'm on, if I try to lightly have my hands on the wheel which is normal for most vehicles it drifts into the side of the road/curb. My other vehicle, nor my husban'ds vehicle does not do this. It has a severe drift to the right, goes into curb if I don't agressively control when making turns. This has happened for 4 months, took it in, they realigned and it did not solve the problem. Continues to do this. My hands have to be on the wheel very hard to control this vehicle from going into the curb/drifting to the right while driving. I have never had a vehicle do this. Obviously a defect in steering, suspension, or something else. I have michelin tires and aluminum wheels. Many other people have reported this same problem on edmunds. Com Odyssey problems, so I am not the only one who's Odyssey has this safety problem. As far as failure date/how many failures, it has done this for at least 4 months, every time I drive. Thank you.

Vehicle pulls hard to right. Dealer said vehicle was aligned to specs but had to make some type of front bar adjustment anyway to correct.

Van pulls significantly to the right. Honda attempted to repair 6 times still pulls to the right. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be addressed. We filed the lemon law and would like any information that you have on problems like ours. Thank you. (dot number: n/a tiresize: n/a).

Tires did not fail. There is a steering shimmy that has not gone away after numereous attempts to balance and rotate tires. ( dot number: ).

Right front and rear wheel out of alignment, already had performed alignment twice, car still pull to right; body rattle since new. Brought to dealer three times, but said nothing can be done for either problem.
