| I just bought 2009 odyssey from used car dealer at 37125 miles and on the first day itself i noticed few problems with the van which is still under power train warranty. 1) it makes a noise with little jerk during startup, seems like transmission issue 2) steering wheel gets lots of vibration between the speed of 45mph and 57mph and looks like van is being dragged... 3) at the speed of 40-50mph there is wind sound coming underneath of the van looks like it has some kind of resistance by the badly designed aerodynamic body and which makes you feel that car will be dragged by the wind. i hope honda should consider this issue seriously as transmission may cause accident any time, even wind drag and steering vibration may definitely cause an accident. *tr | |||

| 2009 honda odyssey, problem started on moday 04/26/10. early morning as i was leaving my place for work, i noticed that the brakes were 'soft'; at the first stop sign, it took the brake to stop the van a longer distance than usual, speed is below 20mph. i was still able to drive to work without further incident that time. then at noon i went out to have lunch, i drove to a nearby place about 10 miles, while i'm driving the vsa off signal lamp came on, driving speed at 35mph, good driving/weather condition, road is well paved; when i got to my destination, i turned off the engine, waited a few minutes, and started the engine again, the vsa signal lamp is now off. no further incident that time again. the next instance that the vsa signal lamp went on while i was driving on my way home, it stayed on for a few minutes, then it went off. i brought the vehicle to the dealer/service shop to have it check, left it there overnight and got it back the next day; i was told that the problem was a faulty steering angle sensor. i'm now suspecting that the recent recalls regarding my07/08 odysseys is also affecting certain my09. | |||
