| Dt*: the contact stated there was a metal plate that came loose in the steering wheel column. this failure interfered with the radio controls. the contact expressed concerns that this could cause a problem with the steering capabilities. the dealership was contacted and determined there was a bulletin issued for the plate that instructed dealers to tap the plate back into place. the vehicle was currently at the dealership awaiting repairs. | |||

| 2004, honda odyssey- steering column busted, vechicle was unable to switch from drive to park, which leaves you in dangerous situation because you have a running vechile that you can not stop. for those of you have a similiar vechile it means the rear passenger doors do not open. this is not a good situation when you have your children in the back of a moving car with no way out. the 1st attempt at a honda service center was pleasant and the problem was thought to be corrected, however the 2nd time not so good. i was treated very poorly my situation was not handled appropriately. after 5 hours at a service center i had to bring my vechicle to another center simply i am in the process of writing a letter to honda. i am very concerned about the saftey of my family. *nm | |||

| This happened while finishing a right turn onto a short on ramp to the freeway. while holding the steering wheel with my left hand (right hand meanwhile moving to new position)and turning the steering wheel counterclockwise to straighten my vehicle again, the little finger of my left hand got caught between the airbag/steering column and the array of buttons for the cruise control (near the base where the gap there is larger). after turning the wheel a little bit several times while trying to free my hand, i realized i was in trouble: i couldn't straighten the steering wheel out without breaking my hand, and turning the steering wheel far enough to the right to free my hand would have resulted in the vehicle leaving the road. so i gritted my teeth and yanked my hand out, leaving a long cut on the top/side of my little finger, but able to continue driving. looking at the steering wheel in the neutral position, i see that large space between the steering wheel and the airbag on the right side of the airbag (2 o clock to 4 o clock) comes to a narrower cone or pointed shape at the inferior end, so that while holding the steering wheel there with the left hand (thumb on the outside of the wheel), the hand can slide down and get 'fed' into the space between the cruise control buttons and the airbag area. i have been driving 22 years without accident or incident, most of them with honda vehicles, several of them with cruise control vehicles, and i haven't changed my style of driving,but this is the first time this has happened. *jb | |||
