Vehicle was hard to steer at low speeds also during cold weather we hear a loud whining noise coming from the power steering pump. Took the vehicle to the honda dealer where we were told the power steering pump was bad. They replaced the pump and told us if we hear the whining noise again it is probably the power steering resovior which was not replaced. There is also a popping sound in the steering which they say is the rack and pinion and it needs to be replaced. Now the vehicle is not under warranty anymore but before the warranty had expired we had taken the vehicle to the dealer to diagnose the popping noise but was told they could not find anything wrong. Magically now they have found the problem. With them now wanting to charge $2000 to fix it. The vehicle only has 54000 miles and should not be having this much trouble. I have never owned a vehicle needing this much work this soon. Although I do love my vehicle I can honestly say I am having doubts of ever owning another one. If they know there is a problem they should fix the problem.

My 2007 odyssey was brought back to the dealer at 35,000 miles for a problem with a clicking noise and steering issue at low speeds. The dealer attributed the problem with the steering to a power steering service bulletin and the clicking wasn't evident out of the ordinary. As the steering seemed to be better, and the clicking was 'normal" I took the vehicle back and drove it like it was for many more miles, until the clicking noise at around 68000 miles seemed really louder and more pronounced. The dealer now attributed the noise to a faulty axle and replaced it at a cost to me of around $200.00 (1/2 price). Now, about 5000 miles later, the steering is extremely bad at low speed and now the dealer tells me the power steering fluid is leeking and the cost to repair is nearly $1500.00. This issue is a design problem as it has been noticible on mine and other people's vehicles which is evident by the complaints almost exactly like mine. Honda should recall this vehicle for a faulty power steering pump and take ownership of the problem.
