| I would like to file a complaint regarding the 2007 model year for the honda odyssey. the car currently pulls to the right while driving on flat ground. there is a current issue with the way the plant assembled the struts and we are not the only ones who have been affected as i have looked online and found other drivers affected by the issue as well. *tr | |||

| Front wheel bearing went bad at 40000. had it replaced at the dealership at cost to me. dealer said it was the right front that was replaced even though the feel of the problem was felt under the left front driver side. seems very early for a wheel bearing to go bad. logging this in case it is a broader issue with this model. *tr | |||

| After installing new set of 4 tires for my honda odyssey and have the tires balance and align by professional goodyears service mechanics. i can feel the mini van keep pulling to the left pretty fast and dangerously. i talk to the wheel shops manager, and there is nothing they can do since the wheel alignment is fine. after looking at this issues online, i see lots of people who own 2007 honda odyssey have the same issues and turn out to be issues with the factory installed spring and strut that need to be aligned and fixed. i almost got into an accident due to the car sudden turn to the left without any kind of warning on hwy 85. | |||

| 2007 honda odyssey pulls hard right after right turn and hard left after left turn. this is a major driving hazard as the vehicle has the potential to pull off the road very quickly or into other vehicles if the steering is not constantly corrected. i bought a used cpo honda odyssey in august of 2010, and we noticed this pulling problem right off the lot. on a flat surface after a right or left turn, the vehicle will change lanes in 3 seconds if not corrected. we have taken this vehicel to the dealership 2 times, and they tried many things to no avail (tire rotations, alignment, tire deflations, etc...). i asked them to check the suspension and struts because a person posted an unofficial fix online that deals with improperly aligned struts that worked. the service advisor claimed that they removed the struts and the problem was fixed. however, the problem is not fixed, and actually the problem seems worse now. i am pretty sure they did not remove the struts at all since i requested to see the struts when they were removed and they did not show them to me at all. the service advisor and two technicians experienced this problem when they rode along on test drives with me, but the are claiming that the issue well within the specs defined by honda. they continue to exclaim that there is nothing else they can do. there has to be a way to fix this, but it seems that they do not want to spend the money to fix the problem properly. my concern is that this is a major safety hazard, and i am worried that my family of five may be involved in a catastrophic accident because the pulling problem is so bad. please help my family and all the other honda odyssey owners who are having this pulling / alignment problem get a proper fix by issuing a recall that requires honda to confess to the issue officially and fix the problem once and for all before something catastrophic happens. | |||

| Vehicle had memory steer. wandered left quickly if wheel is not held tightly. may pull right if last turn was to the right. hard steering in general. sore wrists after driving 60 minutes on freeway due to holding on to wheel tightly to stay in lane on freeway. owned the van less than 1 month at time of travel. purchased used. two alignments performed and no change. upon further inspection found upper strut rubber components not correctly installed on oem struts on vehicle. disassembled struts and re-installed coil spring rubber on struts correctly, realigned tires again, and problem seems to have been corrected. no new parts needed to correct as old parts were functional but had not been installed correctly according to honda technical service manual. | |||

| 2 complaints, first one is the power steering pump went at 35000 miles. honda did replace it under warranty. but the pump in now at 60,000 miles is going bad. second complaint, the front left hub bearing went bad way too early, 50,000 miles. this is a very dangerous problem. called honda and the local honda dealership several times and received no help at all. they would not cover this part or the workmanship to replace it. now at 65,000 miles the van is making the same noise so i am assuming another hub bearing is going bad. i have never purchase a honda before this one, i will never buy another. *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. in march 2009, she noticed a noise around the wheel. she took the vehicle to the dealer and the left wheel bearing was repaired. in december 2009, she noticed the same sound along with a transmission issue which she noted as difficulty shifting. she stated that at low speeds, she actually lost power steering capabilities and had difficulty turning. she took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the power steering pump was defective; the torque converter was replaced as well in reference to the issue with the transmission. the repair did not remedy the failure. the vehicle had not been repaired to-date for the power steering problem. the manufacturer stated that they would assist with the transmission repairs since it was still under warranty; however, they refused to repair the power steering at no charge. they offered her 25% off the repair costs. the current mileage was approximately 59,000. the failure mileage was approximately 41,000. updated 02/13/10 *bf updated 02/16/10.*jb updated 02/18/10.*jb | |||
