Description of the problem | My 2007 odyssey was brought back to the dealer at 35,000 miles for a problem with a clicking noise and steering issue at low speeds. The dealer attributed the problem with the steering to a power steering service bulletin and the clicking wasn't evident out of the ordinary. As the steering seemed to be better, and the clicking was 'normal" i took the vehicle back and drove it like it was for many more miles, until the clicking noise at around 68000 miles seemed really louder and more pronounced. The dealer now attributed the noise to a faulty axle and replaced it at a cost to me of around $200. 00 (1/2 price). Now, about 5000 miles later, the steering is extremely bad at low speed and now the dealer tells me the power steering fluid is leeking and the cost to repair is nearly $1500. 00. This issue is a design problem as it has been noticible on mine and other people's vehicles which is evident by the complaints almost exactly like mine. Honda should recall this vehicle for a faulty power steering pump and take ownership of the problem. |
