2007 Honda Odyssey: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Oct 13, 2018 · Steering · 120,000 miles · OK

Power steering pump went out making it hard to turn. It started with an occasional ticking noise and then gradually got harder to make turns. No more ticking noise now just hard to turn. I have actually screamed like someone power lifting trying to get into a parking space!

Engine warning light began blinking. Minivan could not accelerate above 55 MPH., and it shook and sputtered as speed increased. Seemed necessary to let of the accelerator to allow the engine to shift and increase speed. Knocking sound coming from the engine area. Told by honda dealer that spark plug had been removed by someone causing damage to threading in coil/cylinder head. Highly unlikely that anyone accessed engine or spark plugs in this timeframe. Service tech is machining new threads into coil/cylinder head. This is a very costly repair.

Mechanical sliding side doors 1) when parked on a hill, frnt end dwnhill the sliding door opens all of the way then slams forward frm 4 to 6 inches back toward the frnt jam, the force will knock a child down 2) the door does not have a sensor ( like an elevator) that something or someone might be n its path when closing & it will close on anything or anyone in its path when closing. My child got her arm crushed btwn the door & the jam when the door closed on her. I had opened the door w/ the remote, I reached n & the door began to close b4 I could back out & crushed me betwn the door & the jam, even after making contact w/ my body it continued to crush me, the only way n both instances to stop the door frm crushing my 4yr old's arm frm her body & it doing I have no idea the extent of what it would have done to me, was to get 2 the manual handle nside the door. The remote will not stop it & the dashboard button will not stop it. The re ote does not have an open & shut button for the door. Remote buttons are a minor point, the doors need sensors. The challenges w/ the doors not having sensors to stop them & 1button open/close on the remote r issues we deal w/ on a frequent basis. My daughter & I r not the only ones who have been crushed n the doors. We have had other children even our 65 yr old grandmother has been crushed n them.

Noticed a ticking noise around the steering wheel when driving in the a.m. For over a year. Have had issues with steering while pulling into tight spots or sharp turns for a while. Have always equate it to bad tires (which was recently replaced) or low tire pressure. On a visit to honda for another repair, had asked them to look into the noise issue. Was told that the power steering pump was bad. Had to pay for repair. Was informed that it has nothing to do with the power steering reservoir that was covered under warranty. Does not makes sense that we've had this issue for well over a year that it's not a part issue. Can not recall when the steering was ever as good as it is once the pump was replaced.

Since I bought the minivan odyssey new it had trouble with the rack and pinion, it was replaced under the warranty but up to this date still has problems, I have gone back to the dealer and they have told me it got a loose screw but when I turn the steering wheel it gives a knocking sound.
