I was backing out of my garage. When I negotiated a turn into my turnaround, I heard a loud noise coming from the front tire area. I stopped and looked under the vehicle, saw no visible damage, then drove immediately to my mechanic's garage. Upon inspection, I was told that both front coil springs were broken.

Smelled burning rubber when driving my 2000 honda odyssey. Also heard rubbing and popping sounds. Found both front coil springs had broken. Abs light also stays on and won't go off. Both springs broke in same place....making me think there was a defect in these springs.

2000 honda odyssey coil spring failure on drivers side and transmission failure.

While driving on a city street, a loud noise from the right side. Abs light came on, but reset after restarting van. Stopped and looked under van, but all looked okay. When driving car would suddenly pull hard to right. Noise continued and next day repair shop informed that right coil spring was broken and we were lucky it didn't puncture tire. They cut a portion of the spring away to keep spring from causing blowout. Not repaired as cost prohibitive.

While driving right front coil spring broke. The failure occurred in such a fashion that the no other damage occurred as the broken piece was pinched between the coils. The spring will have to be replaced as soon as possible. The broken spring is still in the car and will be saved.

Front passenger side coil spring broke with loud explosion as I was driving on the highway at speed of about 55 MPH. I got off to check underneath the vehicle and saw part of the coil spring hanging, nearly touching my front tire.

While driving down the road (route 20, traveling east, down town northborough, ma, speed ~20 MPH) as vehicle passed over a railroad expansion type joint, the left front coil spring broke. Approximately .5 to 1 second after loud metallic noise ABS light came on. Pulled car over to side of road and could not find anything obviously wrong, continued home cautiously ~ 1/2 mile. Upon further investigation found a piece of the broken coil spring hanging down from the left front half shaft. Disassembly of the front left wheel allowed for the evaluation of the damage caused by the broken coil spring. It became clear that the broken piece of coil spring had struck the ABS wheel sensor line, ripped the left front outboard cv joint boot and wrapped itself around the half shaft. I felt lucky in knowing that the brake line that was ~ 2 inches to the left of the ABS sensor appeared undamaged. Had the very sharp broken piece from the damaged spring hit either the brake line or the tire at highway speed it could have caused a catastrophic brake failure or a tire blow out. Had the vehicle continued to have been driven with the sharp broken piece of coil spring wrapped around the half shaft it could have caused additional damage, most likely a cut brake line. In talking with honda customer service they felt there was / is no issue (even though I raised the issue of safety), yet my own research has shown that the coil spring on the odyssey has been investigated in the past with no finding and many failures are documented across the internet. Replacement of the coil spring, strut, ABS wheel speed sensor, and cv joint boot are required to fix the problem. Since a spring failure from the left side has occurred, the spring along with strut on the right side will be replaced as a pre-caution. I have both pieces of the broken coil spring in my possession, my initial investigation does not point to corrosion as the likely cause of the spring failure.

Front coil spring failure on 2000 honda odyssey van. Vehicle now pulls hard to right. Fortunately it did not happen at speed. Dealer advises me that this would be a warranty repair if warranty had not expired 7000 km ago.
