Tire Problems of Honda Odyssey - part 2

Complaint with michelinâ® paxâ® system run-flat technology: 235-710r 460a 104t. I have to replace the tires a 2nd time in only 45k miles. They wear too fast. Extremely expensive. I was never told by Honda I would have these issues. I have no other options but to purchase the same tires again. Something needs to be done by either Honda or michelin. I know I am not alone with this issue.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey equipped with michelin energy lx4 tires(na), size 235/70r17. The dot number was not available. While having routine maintenance performed at an authorized dealer, the contact was informed that he would need to have all four tires replaced due to excessive tread wear. The authorized dealer replaced the tires with the same type of tires that were originally on the vehicle. Approximately 25,000 miles later, the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for routine maintenance. He was informed again that all four tires were exhibiting tread wear and would need to be replaced. The dealer replaced the front tires, but not the rear. The failure mileage was 27,000 and the current mileage was 69,000.

I purchased a 2006 Honda Odyssey back in Nov, 2006. When I was looking for a van I asked the sales person in rock Honda in fontana, CA that I needed a good car because I had children and I did not wanted to be having problems on the road and of course I'm was a woman that didn't do any auto work, so I needed something easy to maintain, well to my surprise the tires that this van has, but that I was not told at the dealer that these tires (pax system) wear really fast and are very expensive and only a Honda dealer can change them. When I took my van to have the tires changed, I took it to 3 different shops and told me that only a Honda dealer or a certified shop could do it and the cost is $1,500. 00 to change them. I tried to contact the rock Honda and they actually hung up on me 3 times, one of the sales person told me that tires were easy to change that "he could purchase and change tires in his own garage" that the people from the shop did not know what they were talking about. Well I called Honda motor CO,inc and michelin and the only thing they did was apologized for the inconvenience. If I had known that I was going to have such an expensive maintenance I would not have bought it, but OH well I'm stuck with it now, and to top it all off, the roof is leaking and the warranty does not cover leaks, and the door on the right side makes a loud noise when it opens and closes but it's the same issue with the warranty.

I own a 2006 Honda Odyssey touring with michelin pax run-flat system. The pax tires worn so prematurely compared to other regular tires. This problem was first noticed around 25k miles of driving under normal conditions, and a Honda dealer said the problem might be caused by my driving habits, and therefore cannot be covered by any warranties both by Honda and michelin. Now at the mileage of +40k, all four tires have almost no tread to grab the road and the replacing cost is just ridiculously high around $1200. By observing so many others who have complained on the same defects, I would like to see both Honda and michelin voluntarily recall these failed product so the suffering owners could swap them with regular performers.

Cooper lifeliner tires 225/60r-16 installed on a 2002 Honda Odyssey. Mixed front/rear usage but failures happened while installed on rear. Tires purchased 6/04 and failed with approx 60k miles, but considerable tread remaining. First occurrence 8/08 with vehicle at 70 mph on straight road. With no warning other than a slight rhythmic noise and with no prior visual indication of distress, the tire suffered a near complete tread separation and sudden blowout. Resulted in damage to wheel well and door panel, but no accident. Four months later, the other rear tire had a similar event, this one preceded by some vibration, but no visual distress (stopped vehicle to check). Again, event was a blowout, this time with partial tread separation. Vehicle was on a straight road at 65 mph at time of event. Tire pressures were correct prior to failures. Photos of tire from 2nd event available upon request.

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.

2007 Honda Mini van has a roaring sound from the tires.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Odyssey. The independent dealer stated that the vehicle was in very good condition at the time of purchase. The contact stated that the vehicle began pulling to the left. The tires were replaced and an alignment was performed. She also observed a massive oil leak coming from the vehicle. The dealer stated that nothing could be done because she was outside of the 30-day used car warranty. An independent mechanic discovered that the vehicle was involved in a previous crash, in which the crankshaft was sealed as well as the origin of the massive oil leak. The mechanic found that the sealant previously used on the crankshaft and the tires were beginning to loosen. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileages were less than 105,000. Updated 12/15/08 the vehicle needed a new crank seal, water pump and timing belt. Updated 12/16/08.

While driving at 70mph on interstate 65 near montgomery, alabama there was a sudden transmission failure in our 2002 Honda Odyssey resulting in the front wheels locking up and the vehicle skidding to a halt. The vehicle came to rest in the left lane of the interstate. We exited the vehicle quickly and called 911. A couple of squad cars responded within a few minutes. We could not disengage the transmission so were unable to push the vehicle to a safe place. There were some close calls but no accidents from other vehicles trying to avoid our stranded minivan. Eventually got the vehicle towed to a Honda dealership in montgomery (mcconnell) where we were told that the transmission was indeed locked up and would need to be replaced along with both drive shafts and both front tires. We contacted american Honda to see if they would cover the cost of repairs because (in our view) this is a defective transmission. Was initially told no because our mileage of 100594 was outside the warranty and our 2002 model year was not covered under the extended transmission warranty give to model years ending in 2001. After a week of haggling american Honda did not admit to this being a defect but did agree to cover 80% of the repair cost through goodwill. Our final bill was $1301. 71 for a remanufactured transmission, 2 new drive shafts and 2 new tires.

Damage : 3 inch hole to inside rim of tire, two complete penetration holes within tire well, bent metal at edges, bumper has to be replaced the corner blown off, van is at body shop being repaired. Parts of the wheel hub missing. Had vehicle inspected day before. No problems noted. One of the holes very easily could have gone though gas tank. Tires only had about 36,000 mile on them. Normal wear on tires. No other problems. Could have easily caused an accident. I did not run over objects nor did I hit and object in the road. I was on the interstate driving in normal driving conditions. Bridgestone rep states that it must have been an high impact , but I did not see nor hit any thing.

Bought a 2006 Honda Odyssey touring with dvd/nav in March of 2006. In October '06, had alignment repaired due to van pulling to right. In may '07, requested alignment be checked again for pulling to the right, they were going to charge $85 because warranty expired. Was informed by Honda service tech in March 2008, we needed 4 brand new tires, not alignment problem. Van had 30, 413 miles and almost didn't pass inspection. Tires are 235-710r460a and were worn to 3/32 with regular maintenance and rotation. Was told by service tech that you had to replace all 4 at a time and cost would be $1211. 73. Was told you cannot replace pax tire system with regular tires. Did my own research and found out you can, but up-front cost including wheels, tires, and labor would be about $2000. Was not told upon purchasing the van that the tires would need complete replacement between 25k-30k miles! we were told pax system tires had excellent wear rating and would last longer than regular tires! had all tires replaced and van still pulls to right. Now we're being told our brakes need to be replaced. We're stuck with this vehicle because value of van had decreased with pax tire system complaints.

Purchased a 2006 Honda Odyssey with the michelin pax tire system. We have had no problems to date, but the cost to replace tires are (3) times the cost of regular tires. 90% of people are changing out wheels and tires with regular tires that cost much less to replace. Honda never told us that the tire replacement and labor would be twice that for the tires and (5) times that for the labor to replace tires. Would like tires replaced for the cost of normal tires.

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.

This complaint is not about an accident or injury. The run flat tires with the Honda Odyssey touring - they wear out soon - very expensive to replace (about 3 times the cost of regular tires) - Honda says we can't just remove all the run flat tires and replace them with regular tires. - only select facilities can replace/fix them.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Odyssey. The vehicle has michelin pax system run flat technology, size 235/710r460a tires (na). While driving 5 mph, the vehicle slid.

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 stated that while driving her 2002 Honda Odyssey at 30 mph (failure mileage 30000), the rear passenger tire exploded without any warning.

Purchased 05 Honda oddyssey with pax tires brand new in may of 05. Have complained several times to Honda and michelin uneven wear of tire tread. Keep being told that this is how they're supposed to wear. Now having problems driving in any snow or ice narrowly avoided several accidents just driving through town to get home. Price to re-place with pax snow tires is outrageous plus cost to have tires swapped out each winter and spring. Honda and michelin have both advised that regular tires cannot be put on vehicle as this will void warranty and possibly cause system malfunctions.

The contact stated that while driving down the highway at 65 mph, on normal road conditions the tire.

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.

Failure of michelin pax system tires at 25k miles. These tires offer unrealistic/unacceptable wear which would require yearly replacement at $1200+ per year. Manufacture and/or dealer did not mention or advise anything of the sort during purchase of vehicle. Severely restrictive options with respect to repair and replacement of tires. Excessively high cost of tires, lack of longevity and durability of tires, along inability to replace with suitable alternative tires.

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!.
