Description of the problem | While driving on the freeway with my two children, the two front wheel bearings of my 2007 honda odyssey broke! Although i was able to continue to the side of the road, the car was not in any shape to continue. I took my honda to the original dealer, herb chambers honda in seekonk massachusetts. At that time, they mentioned that a broken wheel bearing is extremely dangerous and we should not be driving the vehicle. The technician said that the wheel could lock up or come completely dislodged from the frame. In addition, he assured me that my driving did not cause the break and that is a clear defect in the product. Still, because the car had 61,622 miles, i was charged 700. 00 to fix the bearings. I am asking nets officials to investigate honda for the wheel bearing failures on all honda odyssey minivans for the following reasons: thousands if not, millions effected - according to thousands of honda owners on the internet who have experienced the same issue, the wheel bearings break anywhere from 1200k (just off the lot) to 75k.
