general problems of the 2005 Honda Odyssey

I purchased a Honda Odyssey touring model with pax tires. I inquired about the tires at the time of purchase and did not want them. At the time I was not educated on the expenses the lack of facilities that care work with the tire and issues related to warranty with this car. It has been a nightmare having pax tires and has created a huge recurring expense for me.

Premature tire wear on my 2005 Honda Odyssey minivan, michelin lx-4 tires, completely worn out at 29,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. He observed that the tread on all four tires was worn. The contact owns run flat michelin energy lx pax tires. The tire size is 235-710r-460a. The tire pressure is 33 on the front and 35 on the rear. The tread on the front, rear passenger and driver side tires tread are worn. The treads are wearing on the tires faster than normal. A local tire dealer stated that only Honda can diagnose the tire failure due to the special metric rims. The dealer and tire manufacturer have advised him to bring the vehicle to the dealer to purchase tires. The tires on the vehicle are required to be replaced two to three times a year compared to conventional tires. Honda gave a quote of $2,000 to replace all four tires. He was not advised at the time the vehicle was purchased of the additional cost to change the tires or that the tires last half as long as normal tires. The contact asked Honda to replace the current 710 rims with conventional 17 inch rims; however, he hasn't received a response. The contact filed complaint/case number, n012008-01-0201951 with the manufacturers customer care center. He also spoke with the tire manufacturer and an attorney. The current and failure mileages were 6,000.

Well, the pax tires that are on my 2005 Honda Odyssey are junk. From my own experience I can tell you I have taken out a small loan to replace 2 of the tires and I do a lot of highway driving. The vehicle is under regular maintenance and I keep it in excellent shape. This is why I was so shocked to hear I needed new tires in 1/2 the time a normal set of tires would be needed. It is shocking but I was told this is the price for security. Hmmm, I thought that is why I was sold the roadside assistance and the extended warranty and etc. Well from what I can tell some one should do something about these tires. Either increase the quality of the rubber, or recall them and give used regular tires and rims. They are just not acceptable. To add to this my vehicle has a shake in it and the shop is not sure but think I need to replace the other two tire as soon as possible. But I was told no promises that will fix the shake. The shake was not there until the new tires were put on the vehicle.

Purchase 05 Honda Odyssey in oct 04. Pax tire was replaced under warranty in Nov 04. In may 2006 I was told tires worn and need replacing and it is not covered under warranty. My car is serviced at Honda dealer as recommended. I didn't replace tires at time, but got a flat while on vacation and had it replaced. Now March 14, 30,000 maintenance I'm told three tires need replacing.

We have a 2005 Honda odessy,with pax tire system. Tires failed at approximately 25000 miles. Neither michelin nor Honda have done anything. I was asked did I drive the car up and down hills? at the time the car was hydro planing so badly we felt unsafe. We have had to buy new wheels ,and tirese and sensors or get out of this worthless set of tires. I would never buy a vehicle with this on. All we got are bills and lies.

I own a 2005 Honda Odyssey touring with michelin pax run flat tires. I was recently informed by Honda service that my tires needed to be replaced (were worn to 4/32nds) at only 17k miles and at a cost of $300+ per tire. Additionally, even to patch the tire with a small nail puncture would cost $90+. I feel that the premature wear on these tires is a defect and the owners of this vehicle are being faced with frequent and costly replacement of these defective tires and/or safety issues with worn tires.

The contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. The vehicle has michelin pax tires. The contact stated that the tires have excessive outer wear. Pieces of the outer wall began separating from the tires at 15,000 miles. The dealer only changed one of the tires, but all four were experiencing the failure. Honda advised him to speak with michelin, but michelin advised him to speak with Honda. Meanwhile, the warranty expired. The contact wanted to change the rims and place regular tires on the vehicle, but Honda advised him that doing so would void the vehicle's warranty. The dealer also advised him to bring his vehicle in every 7,500 miles to have the tires rotated at his expense. The current mileage was 23,000 and failure mileage was 15,000. Updated 02/01/08.

Poor manufactured michelin tires. Becoming unsafe to drive after 20,000miles michelin energy lx4 pax 235/710r-460 104t rb.

The michelin pax tire system: Honda used this pax system on touring versions of the Odyssey Mini van in 2005 (and beyond but mine is a 2005). These tires wear extremely fast and unevenly. They are either an extremely poor design or are defective. Replacements can only be found at Honda dealers. This is mostly an annoyance and ends up costing the owner thousands of dollars more over the life of the vehicle. However, it may lead to safety issues in the event the average owner doesn't think to check their tires as frequently at a rate that would catch a problem.

2005 Honda Odyssey with pax tire system - tires need replacement much frequently than traditional tires and are very expensive to replace. Honda needs to issue a recall on their pax tire system.

Since I bought my van, I have had nothing but trouble with the pax tire system. I will never buy another Honda. The reputation that held in my personal experiences growing up into adulthood now have been shattered. I have had no support through my local dealer nor Honda headquarters. I am still experiencing problems with the steering even after replacing all 4 tires at my own expense. It is a disgusting that Honda is selling cars they cannot fix. I am totally fed up with the situation with my car and feel hopeless for its future. Please help! I have told everyone I know to stay away from Honda and especially the touring model!.

The contact owns 2005 Honda Odyssey, with michelin energy lx4 tires, tire size 235/710/460a. While driving between 50-65 mph the vehicle began to shimmy.

2005 Honda Odyssey noise in the front of the vehicle and shaking in steering wheel. Consumer states that the dealer stated the wheel bearings needed to be replaced. Even after the replacement the problem persisted. The consumer was informed the problem he was experiencing with the shaking was due to a inoperative catalytic converter. It was replaced, however the noise and shaking continued. The vehicle had run flat tires, so if the tires became flat the consumer could drive up to 50 miles, however when the consumer experienced a flat, the vehicle would not move. The consumer was informed the tire was defective. The engine light illuminated. The consumer was told the vehicle needed another catalytic converter. When the consumer picked the vehicle up, the engine light was still on.
