The 2009 Honda Odyssey has a known power steering failure. American Honda knows that it is a design flaw and has only offered an extended warranty of 7 yrs/100,000 miles via a TSB, not a recall. Unfortunately my car did not experience this problem till a year later after the warranty expired. I had difficulty reversing my car and it was harder to make turns from a stop position or when I was slowing down. If my steering had completely broken down, it would have been dangerous with my kids in the vehicle. Luckily I don't drive on freeways a lot, otherwise having to put more effort steering my car or having it fail would be bad. When I contacted american Honda, they refused to accept responsibility even though they knew it was a safety issue. With the pump failing, it creates a unsafe environment for not only me, my kids, and other drivers when I'm struggling to steer my car. The cost of the repair was $850 without the guarantee that it wouldn't fail again since it's a design issue. There are numerous reports of this happening to other Odyssey owners. I believe that this should be a recall that Honda fixes because it effects not only my model, but models 2007 and on. Having trouble steering a car is extremely dangerous and should be considered a recall instead of a TSB. Some cars will exhibit this dangerous failure after the warranty expires and we shouldn't be penalized for it if it doesn't fail right away. It's not right that I was sold a car that is unsafe, esp. Since it's a family car and I transport my kids everyday in it.
