I've been having problems for years with the power steering but it has gotten worse. Now I see honda extended the warranty but I was never notified. I bought my van brand new. I should have been notified. I have trouble parking and turning at low speeds, the power steering locks up and makes it feel as though I have no power steering when turning. The recall should have been offered to all owners.

Power steering failure at low speeds. Reported to honda in 2010. They replaced the reservoir but never fixed the problem. Now honda is refusing to address the issue.

This is a known issue with the honda odyssey. The pump had been replaced 1 month into owning the van. Then it was replaced under recall because of the same issue and not it is doing it again. >100k miles but it had been reported multiple time and the issue could not be reproduced. It is a time issue. The more you drive it the worse it gets. There is a noise and the steering is hard. At low speed you can not turn(parking lots) or it is very hard to turn. When they drive it in the parking lot they would not get the noise. Honda told me to prove that the van was in the shop for an issue(they purge their records every 3 years). This is a known issue make them fix it...

There is no power steering in the vehicle at low speeds. Steering wheel extremely hard to turn. I have noticed you loose the power steering when turning into a parking spot or driving at low speeds (kids carpool lane). I feel that this is a safety issue because if you do not have a lot of arm strength (which a lot is needed to control car) you will not be able to control the vehicle if needed in these situations. This can be very dangerous if a vehicle cannot be controlled. The vehicle also makes a very loud noise when turning the steering wheel when the weather is cold.

Loss of power steering & difficulty turning steering wheel. Paint on top of the roof has begun to fade. Had to replace oil pan because of lug nut damage to pan. According to the mechanic damaged was caused to the oil pan due to the quality of metal within the lug nut that is of harsher material than the oil pan. Therefore, it caused damage to the oil pan that required us to have an immediate oil pan replacement during a routine oil change.

Very hard to steer. It suddenly stopped smooth operation and remained hard since mar 10th, 2014. Looks like the power steering stopped working. Feel like driving a big truck and apply a lot of power to steer. It becomes tough when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. When moving it is little okay to maneuver (still hard but manageable). I would like honda to recall for a manufacturer defect and fix the issue.

While driving in heavy raining conditions or flow of water pool, on roadway or hwy, vehicle wants to shut off displaying no charging, like I have no power for a few seconds. Twice this occurred on hwy speed 70+ or 25-30 +, on roadway with heavy rain and flow of water pool splash during turn vehicle shut off and power up within approximately 3-5 seconds. I was able to move over to the off road medium and regain engine power. This has happen numerous times in the course of 2 yrs. Bringing vehicle to honda dealership which they cant repeat complaint even with hosing engine belt with water,though the tech stated many customers have reported this during raining conditions. Note no power steering due to this event. Ret nypd
