My 2006 honda odyssey went up in flame, while I was driving the vehicle, on 10/11/14. Insurance had me tow it to the honda dealer. After honda having the car for 31 days the insurance paid the repairs & I paid my $500.00 deductible. I'm ready to drive my honda odyssey away on 11/13/14, and I notice the van began to shake violently and the RPM's dropped to almost 0. No report was given to me about what was wrong with van & what future repairs had to be done. All I got was the present repairs due to the fire, even after we had asked them to do a full inspection of the vehicle. Prior to the fire the van never shook, it never had this problem before. While there, they performed the changing of the fuel pump which had been recalled by honda, but now we can not be sure that it was done nor can we be sure that it didn't affect the cars status now. Honda still has the van in their lot & insurance adjuster went to see the car and now honda is saying that the shaking of the car has nothing to do with the fire. According to honda's final report the "probable" cause of fire was in the alternator area -sub-cord alternator to fuse box. Honda said the shake is caused by the rubber motor mounts. I tried to tell honda they are rubber pieces and when rubber comes in contact with heat it melts. Honda will not fix without me paying out of pocket. If the problem really is the motor mounts, I have researched that many people are awaiting a recall from honda on the motor mounts for the fact that theirs prematurely fails. Honda has us on a back and fourth. If they can't be sure what caused the fire and are disregarding the motor mounts going bad due to the fire or the fuel pump recall, then how can they be sure that none of the above is not causing the violent shake on the van.

I took my van in to wilde honda on 9/17/14 for a recall on the fuel pump nodule. The day I picked it up, I noticed a very loud sound from my engine. I had a friend drive the car the afternoon of 9/26/14 to see if he could understand what was wrong with it. When he got in to drive it, my check engine light was on, my d light was blinking and the car will not shift out of second gear. Additionally, the transmission fluid smells like it is burning. I have now had a mechanic review it and the transmission has completely failed and I need to have a new one put in.

Lack of power steering. We bought this van at the end of september, 2012. We noticed this issue within a few days of owning it. This continues to be an on-going issue and is happening at various speeds and at various times. Not just in parking lots. This happens when slowing down to make turns in normal driving settings. It also happens when driving into round-abouts. This is a very serious safety issue! I tried to contact honda via email once we began to notice it and got no reply. I have looked at different complaint websites and see this a lot. Recently, with the fuel pump recall, I called into honda directly regarding the fuel pump. During the call, I described this steering issue to the rep. She said honda knows of it and what they did was to extend the original warranty on the vehicles to 100,000 miles to repair it. However, it was not repaired in all vehicles. The issue is that periodically the power steering system stops working and you must manually turn the steering wheel. We have several children in our family. It is scary to know that the steering could cause a serious accident & cause serious injury or death. Many highways now have round-abouts at the exits. Many towns & cities are putting in round-abouts for traffic flow. I have been noticing this issue when coming into round-abouts at various speeds. The federal safety agency needs to get involved and get honda to recall these before serious injury or death occurs. Thank you.
