I have owned my 2005 Honda Odyssey touring since it was new. I replaced the power steering pump at 34k miles. I have put 3 sets of tires on my minivan even though I rotate every other oil change. All done by the dealer. My van will loose steering at times when it is cold and makes a loud noise under the hood. In addition, the steering will shake when driving as well as when braking. I just replaced the tires which included a front-end alignment and tire balance. The shimmy, vibration and shaking back/forth is still there. The brakes and rotors have been cleared by dealer and they cannot figure out what is wrong. This has been an on going problem with my Odyssey. The water pump started at 15k miles and each time I took it back they did not know the issue and changed the water pump at 34k miles. The tire shaking, vibrating and shimmy has been happening since 55k miles and the van now has 105k. I am tired of the problem. It has gotten so bad that I don't wan to slam on my brakes because the steering wheel starts to fail. This is a Honda and is suppose to last. Honda needs to stand behind this problem. As I search the web there are many Honda owners with the same issue but Honda will not do a recall. Honda needs to understand that this is a safety issue. Steering. People can die from this. In addition, Honda needs to understand that many with these problems will be purchasing another van in the near future and won't buy a Honda due the lack of attention to these matters.
