When we (family of 4) were backing out of our drive way, at/about 5mph, a loud metallic noise was heard. It appeared to come from under the van, front/left side. We parked the van and looked under the van, everything looked normal. But the noise was quite loud and we knew something was not correct. We drove the van about 50 feet in our cul-DE-sac and heard another metallic noise and something fell under the van. When we looked under the van, we found a piece of suspension spring, about 9 inches long. The piece was not rusted or brittle, it looked pretty stong, but appeared to have been suddenly broken/snapped. Lucky that it did not happen when we were are on any highway or at a higher speed. Later we took van to get, the springs/struts replaced. A google search found out that we were not alone, this seem to have happened lots of other families. A typical website example is below. I could find many more. This looks like a systemic or material problem with these springs and Honda must do something so that none would get injured or hurt. . Read more...
