Description of the problem | 2007 honda odyssey ex-l: purchased new from dealer, had problem with pulling to the left from the first days we owned it. We returned to the dealer who insisted it was normal and gave various reasons (torque, road crown, nothing at all). Have had new tires, including replacing one that bald badly on the outside by 20,000 miles. Have had multiple alignments. Honda insists no issue, all within normal limits. Car always pulls to the left unless we're driving on a heavily crowned road in the right lane. Causes driver fatigue and has sometimes been a safety issue. This is a problem that is discussed over and over on various websites, including lots of do-it-yourselfers who have had good success with a very simple realignment of strut bearings. I can't believe a reputable company such as honda could allow this safety issue to continue unaddressed. Please investigate this matter; there are many complaints already about this issue on the nhtsa forum. Honda does not even acknowledge that this is an issue. |
