Description of the problem | Purchased this honda new in december 2006. No problems with it till this incident. Both back wheels started making terrible noises. A grinding and screeching sound at all speeds. I asked a few friends who have the same vehicle and they said they had to replace both rear bearings on their vehicle. I took the vehicle to the honda dealer and that is exactly what it was. Both rear bearings. I can hardly imagine one bearing going bad on a modern vehicle. Both bearings tells me something is wrong with the product. I believe this could be a significant and dangerous problem for all honda odyssey's on the road. It is clearly a defective rear bearing. I contacted honda regarding this and the representative i spoke with said there was currently no recall regarding this. They were very polite and pleasant to deal with. I expressed my concern, but feel that effort was inadequate. I also searched for this issue on a couple of automobile forums online. I found hundreds of references to this issue. So i do not believe it is an isolated incident. Thank you for ensuring that our roads and the vehicles we drive remain safe! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. |
