2013 Honda Odyssey steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2013 ex-l with 18k miles, started noticing slight vibration when braking from approx 50 MPH in the steering wheel. I live in florida and thought nothing of it more than an annoyance. This past 4th of july went to nc when driving about 45 MPH while going down a hill and applying brakes the vibration became terrible, the vibration became a safety issue as the whole van would rattle and shake. Took notice of this and videoed the occurrence. When I got back to my city took the van to honda and showed the master technician my issue, stated that it could be warped disks, and quite common on odysseys and pilots. He did state he had not seen the vibration as high as on the video, again I give credit to the flatness of the florida peninsula. Honda resurfaced the front disks at no cost, but said that usually they do not as the braking warranty is 12 months or 12k miles. I did call and raise a ticket w/ honda of america, letting them know all that had occurred and offered them the video as well, also discussed with the honda rep. That warped disks at less than 20k miles should be a design flaw, and that maybe if enough people complain something may be done. Currently my van is running well, but wondering if in 20k miles I have to resurface the disks again or buy high performance disks to avoid this.. Again for a car over a new street value of $40k I believe certain wear and tear parts should be designed to last at least more than 25k or at least two years of use.. Just my two cents.. Hope this helps others.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the front driver's side emitted a loud noise as the steering wheel moved abruptly to the left. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a ditch. The contact did not sustain any injuries. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 10,000.
The car pulls to left at speeds above 60 MPH and get worse the higher the speed. I am familiar with honda odyssey as I have owned this one since 2003 and it has 180000 miles. This new one drives fine in town and at speeds 60 or below. I have taken it back to dealer and they did re alignment and lowered tire pressure to 30 psi but I like to run at least 35 psi. Can you let me know if anyone else has had a similar problem. I love the car otherwise. It is no fun to fight a car trying to pull to the left at 75 MPH. It is a dangerous problem.
