There is a class action suit presently being settled between owners of the honda odyssey van (equipped with "run-flat" pax tires) and honda motor company and michelin tire company. The issue involves poor tread wear on these tires, the fact that the honda van with these tires has no spare tire, and the fact the tire can only be changed by honda dealers equipped with the "changing machine." there are many sub-issues in the case which relate to passenger safety and security. I hope the federal safety agency is attuned to this class action suit, wherein thousands of honda owners are affected. I was told by my own honda dealer, that to cost to replace the worn-out tires, remounting and alignment, is over $1,200. Yipes!! Worst yet, a family in this honda van could have a flat tire on a motor trip, have no spare tire, and must "find" the honda dealer who has the patented equipment to change the tire. If you breakdown on a weekend, I guess you must stay in a motel until the honda dealer (if there is one) opens during the week days. The pax tires are a potential hazard to the safety and security of passengers in the honda odyssey touring model which is equipped with these tires. I hope the federal safety agency is monitoring this case, which is defined as follows: re michelin north america, inc.. Pax system marketing and sales practices litigation (case no.8:08-md-01911-rwt). This case is being heard in a "fair settlement hearing: conducted in the united states district court, district of maryland, greenbelt division, 6500 cherrywood lane, greenbelt, md 20770. Plaintiffs' attorney is james e. Miller, shepherd, finkelman, miller & shah, llp 65 main street, chester, ct 06412 (www.sfmslaw.com) 1‑866‑540‑5505 note: the tire specifications listed are not correct. The michelin tire is 235-71or460a energy lx4 pax. Also known as pax "run flat" tires. Disregard my computer entries, which conformed with format. Benjamin m. Hamilton

Tpms warning light remains on. After 6 visits to the honda dealer and multiple diagnosis, still unresolved and the light will not go off. Tpms sensor has been changed twice on two different wheels, system reset and the warning light comes back on with a few days or 100 miles and will not go off. Dealer has no idea why this gov.'t mandated system will not work. Please advise.
Owner purchased new snow tires, new wheels, and new TPMS sensors. The 2007 odyssey does not recognize the new sensors. The computer controller memory only has memory for four sensors. The owner's manual does not state this limitation. Honda should send notice out to owners stating that the when purchasing new TPMS sensors must be reprogrammed and/or reprogram the controller at no charge when needed for seasonal tire changes.
2007 honda odyssey - problem is the vehicle / tire design. The van has the michelin pax tires; the combination of the van and tires results in ridiculous poor tread life resulting in excessive replacement costs. Our vehicle has 36k miles. We have had one tire replaced under warranty but had to pay over $100 in labor only to replace the tire. In december of 2008, I replaced two front tires (over $300 per tire) plus paid money to get all 4-wheels aligned (as a security measure to minimize any possible tire wear). 3-months later, my two rear tires had an excessive wear pattern on the inside wall. One of the tires is only 9-months old!! The dealer is telling me I need to replace both tires at a total cost of $700 - this wear pattern was soon after the dealer alignment. What makes matters worse is that honda will not allow customers to replace the pax tire system with another alternative so the consumer is forced to pay excessive labor costs to replace tires that have very poor wear patterns and poor tire life. The consumer is "stuck" with continuous repair and replacement costs. We cannot afford to replace our tires yet the dealer tells us the tires must be replaced due to poor wear on one side of each tire (even though they advertise the tire as a "safe product"??).
2007 honda mini van has a roaring sound from the tires.
The indicator light for low tire pressure comes on when ever the temperature drops below freezing. It goes off after the tires have heated up, then comes on and off at irregular intervals. The dealer checked it a couple times and finally said to just ignore the indicator. Why have an indicator that is just to be ignored?
Complaint for tires on a 2007 honda odyssey touring. Consumer states that the tires are special and can only be fixed by certain authorized dealers and maintenance people. *kb the consumer had a flat tire and had difficulty obtaining a tire. The consumer was informed because of the cost of the equipment, low incidence of the pac tires use and the cost of labor the tire was not being sold at the particular location and the closest dealer was 500 miles away. (michelin pac tires).
