Description of the problem | While driving in the mountains of colorado while on vacation our steering wheel was violently shaking and vibrating while braking downhill. This was very scary for our family from illinois to experience. We scheduled immediate repairs at the shop nearest us on 6/22/2015 with 36,206 miles on our honda odyssey. We had new rotors on front and rear replaced and front brakes $685. Unfortunately, while on a road trip to see family in michigan we again experienced shaking of the steering wheel upon braking. On 12/2/2016 57,428 miles we again had to pay for rear rotors and brakes. We have never experienced the frequency of repairs (we trust our repair guy) in any of our other vehicles (fords and chevys). Our van is usually driven around town with kid's activities. Expressway and high speed driving is limited. This is our first honda. Then on 12/10/2016 with 57,569 miles the engine light and vsa (vehicle stability assist) light stays on. Turns out spark plugs 1 and 2 fouling.. I'm seeing there are complaints here about these same issues. I contacted honda regarding the spark plugs and they said there is an extension to cover this if i went to an authorized dealer. I hope this is true and it works out, repairs are expensive and we want to be safe! |
