| We purchased a brand new van with continental contipro contact tires (brand new). after about 15,000 miles we noticed the tires becoming brittle and blistering. several tires were losing air. we brought it to a mechanic for a routine oil change and when it was put on the lift he found 6 places that small pebbles had actually punctured the tire and created holes that had to be plugged to drive it safely home. the mechanic informed us that the tires were very dangerous to drive on because they were literally falling apart, blistering, and being punctured by small pebbles. after speaking to continental tire company they informed me that because i plugged the tires the warranty was void and the warranty only covered defective tires. in the opinion of the mechanic, they are defective tires. we have been left to pay for brand new tires for our van that was bought brand new so we can safely drive our family van. | |||

| There seems to be an interference between using a bluetooth phone when paired with the vehicles hands free link system (hfl) and the tire pressure monitoring system (tpms). vechicle was brand new off the truck (only 4 miles on it) and as soon as my iphone 4 was paired with the vehicles hfl system, the tpms failed. i've researched online forums and am seeing a growing list of owners reporting the same issue. | |||

| Bought the odyssey 2011 exl and drove for 5 miles from the dealor when the tpms lights came on and stayed on for ever. taken an appoint with honda service and they would like to adjust the tyre pressure. another dealter would like to reset the whole sensor settings. by talking to them, i felt that they are not much aware about this frequent issue. | |||

| Purchased 2011 honda odyssey on 3/19. upon leaving the dealership the tpms (tire pressure monitering system) light illuminated and stayed on. stays on even with engine restart. tire pressures were above door post recomendations. dealer requires return of the vehicle for inspection. | |||

| I purchased a brand new 2011 honda odyssey touring elite 4 weeks ago. as i drove home from the lot my tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) light came on and stayed on. i immediately drove back to the dealer service center. initially they thought it was just tire pressure but quickly realized it was an actual error of the tpms system. one of the techs said he has seen this on one other 2011 odyssey and that it is triggered by smart cellular phone interference. he told me it would probably happen again if i used my cell phone in the van. so they reset the tpms error and i turned off my cell and drove for 30 minutes with no issues. so then i turned my cell phone on, and still no issues for another 5 minutes. then my wife called and at the exact moment my cell phone rang the tpms went into error again. so the service center tells me this is something they can't fix. they are waiting for a fix from honda. when i submitted the case to honda corp customer care they say that this is not a known issue and that they are not actively working on a resolution for it. when tpms error occurs the tpms system is completely disabled automatically by the vehicle computer. therefore, my van currently does not have tpms protection. i just spoke with my dealer service center again and they tell me they now have 5 reports of this same problem on 2011 odyssey elites. | |||
