Very hard to steer. It suddenly stopped smooth operation and remained hard since mar 10th, 2014. Looks like the power steering stopped working. Feel like driving a big truck and apply a lot of power to steer. It becomes tough when the vehicle comes to a complete stop. When moving it is little okay to maneuver (still hard but manageable). I would like honda to recall for a manufacturer defect and fix the issue. *tr

Last fall my power steering would go out when i was decelerating or reversing started to be difficult to turn. The van would make a terrible noise when idling and you would turn the vehicle and i noticed it seemed to only be when the weather was cold. I had an auto shop evaluate it and flush it as well as place a dye to see if it was leaking and it wasn't. I went in for a recall just recently and the dealership…

I entered a highway and was accelerating to a speed of approx. 35 mph when the vehicle suddenly decelerated, as if the brakes had been slammed on, causing me to lurch forward, triggering the seat belts to tighten. I maintained steering control, removed my foot from the gas pedal, then suddenly the vehicle accelerated rapidly without my pressing on the gas pedal. This happened four times within approximately 60…

The car has become increasingly hard to steer over the last two to three years to the point that it is almost impossible to turn it into parking spots or other areas at low speeds. My wife feels particularly unsafe about driving it like this, as she is afraid she will hit another car or object related to the inability to turn without manually overpowering the steering wheel. In checking for a recall, i noted that…

Power steering pump is failing to provide assistance at low engine speeds every time the vehicle is operated (not intermittent). Condition makes it difficult and slow to manuever the vehicle during parking lot type maneuvers.

Vehicle failed safety inspection because power steering is ineffective at low speeds. My daughter is learning to drive, and we cannot let her use the vehicle since she cannot control the steering while moving below 5 miles per hour. This problem is detailed in 2 honda technical service bulletins 07-005 and 10-076, but honda appears to be reluctant to admit a problem to customers.

2007 honda odyssey ex power steering loss at low speeds (less than 10mph) especially when pulling in/out of a parking spot or doing a 3-point turn. Also humming can be heard when steering at low speeds but it went away after i took the van to the dealership for the 60,000 mile scheduled maintenance service. I guess when they flushed the steering fluid and replaced it with new one it fixed the humming problem, but…
