I was still able to drive to work without further incident that time. Early morning as I was leaving my place for work, I noticed that the brakes were 'soft' at the first stop sign, it took the brake to stop the van a longer distance than usual, speed is below 20mph. Since it's a family car and I Transport my kids everyday in it.Ģ009 Honda Odyssey, problem started on Monday 04/26/10. It's not right that I was sold a car that is unsafe, esp. Some cars will exhibit this dangerous failure after the warranty expires and we shouldn't be penalized for it if it doesn't fail right away.
Having trouble steering a car is extremely dangerous and should be considered a recall instead of a tsb. I believe that this should be a recall that Honda fixes because it effects not only my model, but models 2007 and on. There are numerous reports of this happening to other Odyssey owners. The cost of the repair was $850 without the guarantee that it wouldn't fail again since it's a design issue.

With the pump failing, it creates a unsafe environment for not only me, my kids, and other drivers when I'm struggling to steer my car. When I contacted american Honda, they refused to accept responsibility even though they knew it was a safety issue. If my steering had completely broken down, it would have been dangerous with my kids in the ckily I don't drive on freeways a lot, otherwise having to put more effort steering my car or having it fail would be bad.
I had difficulty reversing my car and it was harder to make turns from a stop position or when I was slowing down. Unfortunately my car did not experience this problem till a year later after the warranty expired. American Honda knows that it is a design flaw and has only offered an extended warranty of 7 yrs/100,000 miles via a tsb, not a recall.
The 2009 Honda Odyssey has a known power steering failure.
