I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey with 34,000 miles on it. The left rear shock is blown and needs replaced. A vehicle with such low mileage should not have a blown shock. The power steering has problems as well. After the van has been running for 15-20 minutes the power steering makes loud noise during turns and when parking, the power steering becomes very difficult to turn. I have contacted Honda dealer and they are not willing to cover the costs for either repair since I'm past the 36,000 mile or 3years warranty period. From what I have researched, the steering issue is a big problem. Why hasn't this been a recall issue!!!! it's very dangerous to continue having this problem.
Power steering failed in Honda Odyssey 2005. Heard intermittent grinding noises when steering, but noise goes away in warmer temperatures. Had problems steering and took it to the Honda dealership. Cost me $650 to replace power steering pump and reservoir. The car only has 60,000 miles on it. I have never replaced a power steering pump in any car I have ever owned and I have one now that has 175,000 miles on it. This is very dangerous especially if it went out while driving. Fortunately mine didn't but I could of had a serious wreck.
Noise in power steering pump; now fails to turn at low speeds; being told to replace power steering pump by dealer. Numerous articles on internet from like owners with same problem. This seem to be a defect for recall. It is also a safety issue as you have no power steering at low speeds like in parking lots where many accidents occur.
The power steering is making noises which are progressively getting worse. 1) the noises started about 2 months ago and were a result of regular driving around town. 2) the noises used to be intermittent, by now they can be heard all the time. 3) problem has yet to be corrected to date. Will be repaired within the next couple of weeks.
Power steering noise when turning. Dealer stated might need to flush system. Also brakes have squeaked since 7500 miles. Dealer wasn't very helpful and didn't think it was any big deal.
Power steering makes a whining noise and loses power at slower speeds, as when parking. I nearly hit a pedestrian yesterday when power steering cut out as I was driving in grocery store lot.
2005 Honda Odyssey has a loud whining noise when the steering wheel is turned in weather temps under 35 degrees, driving more than 15-30 minutes or so. Steering while this is happening is slightly more difficult. The local Honda dealer says the cost to fix is approx. $210 for out of warranty service. The dealer claims they have "redesigned" the reservoir, well if it was "redesigned" then it should be "recalled".
