My 2007 odyssey was diagnosed as having a power steering leak. This was funny because my 2004 accord was also diagnosed with the same issue. Multiple mechanics suggested that perhaps there was an issue with power steering machinery in hondas from those years. In fact, there were recalls for both 2004 accords and 2007 odysseys but our vehicle vin numbers did not fall under those recalls. However, this is still…

Vsa light came on then the car will not go over 2000 rpms and the steering gets hard. The brakes go to floor making hard brake feel. This happened on the interstate.

Have had extensive issues from honda of america and local dealerships regarding the status of the odyssey's safety. This van has had issues since new that honda has consistently attempted to avoid dealing with. Vehicle at low speeds has suddenly heavy and troublesome steering affected steering response and vehicle direction when turning. Brake pedal feel when slowing in any forward/reverse direction is unresponsive…

Power steering pump went out making it hard to turn. It started with an occasional ticking noise and then gradually got harder to make turns. No more ticking noise now just hard to turn. I have actually screamed like someone power lifting trying to get into a parking space!

My honda odyssey shuts off completely while driving, at that time you can't turn the steering wheel (or it is very very hard to turn). This is preceded by usually the lights on dashboards flashing. Sometimes it will shut off (dashboard will go black) and come right back after few seconds. Other times the i have to stop and turn it on again and it works. Yesterday it turned off and the car came to stop then i moved…

My honda odyssey has developed a vibration in the front end. We've replaced the rims, tires, and suspension to no avail. The vibration can be overwhelming at times. We are unaware of anything that could have caused this since it came on gradually. It appears to be worse in the winter.

We were out of the house and on to a city street, suddenly battery light is on and cannot steer at all. Almost got into crash. Turns out the serpentine belt tensioner, new from honda dealer in 2017, its bolt sheared off three months after installation. If this happened on the highway, it would most certainly got us into an accident. Honda should recall all the drive belt tensioner, but unfortunately, we have no…

I've been having problems for years with the power steering but it has gotten worse. Now i see honda extended the warranty but i was never notified. I bought my van brand new. I should have been notified. I have trouble parking and turning at low speeds, the power steering locks up and makes it feel as though i have no power steering when turning. The recall should have been offered to all owners.

The tensioner bolt has sheared off 3 times since the serpentine belt was replaced. In both cases the car was in motion and power steering was lost making it nearly impossible to steer the car safely. Fortunately this did not happen on the highway and occurred on city streets. In all cases our mechanic used original factory parts. This is a significant safety concern for my wife and 5 children. It appears others have…

The power steering does not circulating properly when the weather is cold below 20 degrees. Hard to control the steering. You may have to let the engine warm to avoid the hard steering

Making a long winding and loud sound when turning the steering wheel at slow speed particularly at stationary position. Another issue is, it is very hard to turn either to the left or right like it is not equipped with power steering at all.

Power steering failure at low speeds. Reported to honda in 2010. They replaced the reservoir but never fixed the problem. Now honda is refusing to address the issue.

The power steering pump in my honda odyssey 2007 is poorly constructed. It was giving me trouble since the beginning, but recently, the steering wheel is very hard to turn and it often gets stuck. I took it to my local midas for investigation and they are estimating the repairs due to the power steering pump needs to be replaced. The estimated charge for repair is about $870. Honda says that it's eligible for a…

Steering wheel is hard to turn quickly at low speeds, and while at parking. I knew that was a problem in 2010 in thousand of these vehicle, which honda replaced the part, with two efforts, after being supplied with wrong part in the past. I took my car to local honda dealer today (harsons honda), who complained the same thing, and wants me to replace the power steering pump during my timing belt change. I ask then…

When i am driving my van at about 65 and above and when i hit the brake the steering wheel starts to vibrate very badly. This does not happen i am driving at less than 60 mph. Every time this happens, i feel like i might crash into other vehicles or run off the road due to the vehicle becoming very unstable. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership several times but they test drive it and say that there is no…

Steering becomes tight and very hard at low speeds and my wife started complaining of sore arms. I tried and found it to be quite hard. Took it to the dealer and he flushed power steering fluid and charged me for it though there is a tsb on how to fix it. Took it to the tire shop and they asked me to take it to the alignment shop. Then i searched the internet and found tsb a11-039 and several other letters from…

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda odyssey. While driving at 45 mph and making a left or right turn, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver and the contact heard an abnormal noise. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 50,000.

There is no power steering in the vehicle at low speeds. Steering wheel extremely hard to turn. I have noticed you loose the power steering when turning into a parking spot or driving at low speeds (kids carpool lane). I feel that this is a safety issue because if you do not have a lot of arm strength (which a lot is needed to control car) you will not be able to control the vehicle if needed in these situations.…

This vehicle is very hard to steering when it stops or in low speed. I talked with honda customer service. They claimed that it is out of warranty. However, i found there are lots of same problems described on-line. I believe honda should provide a service recall on this issue.

Tough to steer! When moving it is little okay to maneuver still hard but manageable. With all these complaints on this same steering power issue i was surprise honda didn't recall for this manufacturer defect and fix the issue. *tr

The condition was first noticed shortly after aquiring the vehicle in a parking lot while trying to negotiate a turn. The vehicle steering was normal at first and then suddenly required excessive force to turn the steering wheel. Heavy braking was required to avoid a collision with another vehicle. Immediately following this experience, after getting the vehicle to a safe location, i attempted to turn the steering…

I bought 2007 odyssey at 67,000 miles. I purchased a trade-in vehicle from sterling acura dealer, steering drifts to the right within 3 seconds, i took the van to the dealer 3 times they've switched tire positions, done the alignment still the drift to the right happens. Then they say it's because of road crowing which i totally don't accept. I read through many forums where everyone is pissed-off with this problem.…
