| When vehicle shifts from 2nd to 3rd, there is a delay(grind). a and b pillars are week and produce a whistling noise starting at 35 mph. the rear bench (the bigger part of the split bench) will not latch down to the floor. pax run flat tires are deflating with no age or puncture related problems. all of these are safety hazards. rear lift gate struts failed and will not lift up rear door and can cause the door to crash down. | |||

| 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. *tr | |||
