Purchased my van used in 2012. It had a steering issue but i was new to the feel of honda handling and thought it was ok and normal. I have had increasing issues with my capability to steer. There was an extended warranty recall on the power steering pump and reservoir but the previous owner of my van did not have it serviced. I called honda and they said it is passed warranty and cannot absorb the cost of the…

The rear motor mount went bad causing a terrible vibration in the steering wheel due to the engine banging around. After some research i found out the rear motor mount was only added to this vehicle after honda decided to come out with the eco feature. The vcm engine cuts out cylinders when they are not needed causing the engine to vibrate so a rear motor mount was added to decrease the vibration. The motor mount is…

When maneuvering in low mileage areas, i.e. Driveways, parking lots, my power steering pump does not assist well, if at all. The vehicle makes a noise similar to an rc car with a dying battery and the steering wheel is almost impossible for me to move. In order to get out of a parking space, it can take me up to 10 or so moves because i cannot get the wheel to turn properly. *tr

I was not aware that honda had a recall on the power steering pump. I have had this problem for over a year. My local dealer (autoparks honda, cary, nc) is telling me that the recall is over and the extended recall is over so they cannot fix it at no cost to me. I don't understand why honda will not replace the power steering pump when there was a recall on this part. It is still very hard to turn the steering…

Vehicle has been exhibiting a very harsh shaking/vibration while in eco mode. This is distracting as well as uncomfortable. Recently the vibration has gotten so bad, we can not see out of any of the mirrors as the shaking vibrates them to the point of complete uselessness. The worst part is that we just paid $2000 at a dealership to replace the rear motor mount and flush transmission again. We have had this van…
