Description of the problem | I have owned six honda odyssey's and the last three starting with the 2007 model all needed to have a new power steering pump because it starts to whine and not pump well. Previous models have all failed under warranty. I currently have a 2013 odyssey that has 41000 miles on it and once again the pump started e steering has given out twice in the last week. It is random and without warning all of a sudden i can't steer without great effort. I about got hit the first time as i was turning around on a main road and the steering just quit, no power steer at all. It usually recovers quickly but if i were not an experienced driver i would have been in two accidents because of this problem already. Honda will not replace their known defective pump under warranty because the car has over 36k miles. I think honda should replace the defective pump under warranty as this is not a new issue for them and i personally have had two of these vehicles since 2007 that have had a bad pump. This is a serious safety issue and perhaps honda needs some government help to be forced to deal with this issue that continues to plague their vehicles with a dangerous situation that needs corporate action to remedy. |
