Issues with power steering. When driving long distances a loud noise will start emitting from power steering. This has happened on multiple occasions over last five years. Have taken my Honda to at least two dealerships about problem. Never diagnosed until recently. Was told that power steering pump is defective. Honda states no longer under warranty. Very expensive repair. Dealership will not help with cost. Contacted Honda corporate customer service and was offered no help with cost of repair. Will no longer drive my Honda any long distances. Also have had brake and parking brake issues with this car over past five years.
Brake and transmission failure of Honda Odyssey we leased a 2005 Honda Odyssey from Honda west in las vegas on the 21st of June 2005. This is 2005 model. The VIN # 5fnrl382x5b097321 in a week, we found a defective brake that was causing a significant problem to stop the car. I immediately informed the dealer and it appeared they did not pay that much attention. I myself was very confused as I was under the impression that Honda makes one of the safest cars in the world. My wife is the primary driver and she is a 1st year resident at the university medical center, las vegas, nv. After working she was driving the car to home and she tried to stop the car at red light and the car did not stop. She ran red light and by the grace of god a disastrous accident was avoided. This is a matter of life and death. So, she went to the dealer immediately and they were not polite and were not in a position to look into the problem. However, she forced them to look into it and after two days of investigation they found that the brake was not installed properly at the manufacturing plant. The transmission also has the similar kind of problem, when trying to accelerate will not accelerate but when trying to push the brake will accelerate. We have already informed american Honda and unfortunately they will not listen. The car is still with the dealer. As a responsible citizen of the country I feel obligated to let you know the safety issue of Honda. It is ironic that the american car manufacturers easily admit their safety problem whereas the japanese makers will not admit such because of business issue. My question which one should come first the safety of the citizens or the money? I will highly appreciate that you look into this matter as soon as possible to prevent a disastrous accident else where in the country. I hope that no one has to either die or injured before the investigation starts. Sincerely, mamun ahmed.
