Description of the problem | In 2008, had my 2007 honda odyssey touring was serviced by gilroy honda due to a faulty power steering pump. At that time, they had replaced the faulty pump as it was found to be causing the sticky driving during slow speeds. This issue is not noticed on high speeds since there are no big/wide turns needed at that speed. The van is normally driven by my wife and i seldom use it. I recently used it (2nd week of oct '10) when i have to take the van to gilroy honda for a regular service. During that time, i noticed a very sticky steering at low speeds. Very similar to what i noticed in 2008. I also noticed that at low speeds, it tends to pull towards the right. I also notice that it is very difficult to get out of a tight spot (like in a parking lot) because of this. I was worried about it since my wife is driving it everytime and that she might hit something or somebody during a slow maneuver. I complained about it to gilroy honda but they said they will not replace it for me as it is no longer under warranty. I asked whether or not they have a recall about this but said no. I think this has to be a safety recall as it can lead to crash or even worse injuries. |
