There was a check engine light and upon inspection, honda notified me that the piston ring replacement was necessary and that honda extended the warranty to 100k miles. The problem was the timing belt and few other parts needed to be replaced because they would get damaged during this warranty repair. Honda refused to pay for the timing belt replacement and made me pay almost $800.00 in parts and labor. 2. My car stared to vibrate every time I braked from about 15k miles. I took it in and instead of making the proper repairs the service center had the front rotors re-surfaced 3 times. The problem kept on coming back because the front rotors are undersized for the vehicle. I had to buy my own front rotors from a generic maker along with pads to correct the problem. It cost me $350 for parts and $200 at honda service center to repair it properly. 3. There's a popping sound when I make turns. I've addressed it and no one will fix it. I don't think its normal that clicking and popping sound comes while steering.

There is a popping noise when turning. Took it to the dealer for service and the following was reported: "heard noise coming from power steering" "compared to new unit and had same noise" "noise is from pressure being put on pump on tight turns. No issue with the system found" "no repairs to be made at this time". Feel not safe to drive.

I was driving my 2 year old honda odyssey w/15,000 miles on a 35 MPH state road in the evening. All of a sudden the van lost complete power, everything inside went black, brakes went, no lights in or outside working, and the steering got very stiff, making it difficult to steer the van off the road. My 5 young children were in the vehicle as well. (ages 14, 6, 4, 2, & 5 months). Thankfully no vehicles were on the road in front of me or stopped bc I would have hurt them badly. I just missed getting rear ended by 3 other vehicles as well. Thankfully we weren't traveling the busy interstate that evening, or this could have easily been fatal for my whole family and possibly others as well. Previous to this (approx. 3 months or so) I had made complaints to the dealership about a popping noise in the steering column, when a sharp turn was made and was told that it was "normal". I also have a constant vibration in the steering wheel, brake and gas pedal, which honda balanced the tires and re surfaced the roaders. For a vehicle which almost cost me $36,000 & 2 years old with low miles, shouldn't be having these issues. The issue with the complete loss of power needs to be diagnosed and correctly fixed, or taken off the road before it causes someone to be severely injured or killed!!!! Fix it correctly or I want the vehicle replaced or my money back to buy a safer vehicle....not we're unsure of what the issue is or think we fixed it. I don't need my family or any others killed.
