    While at low speeds, there is a clicking noise coming from the steering wheels. This occurs while stationary and moving at slower speeds.

    Location, staten island, ny. Date, 10/29/2017. Time, about 9:45pm. Drove over a few puddles in pouring rain and a hilly road. Suddenly, the check charge system light came on and complete loss of power steering. A minute later, it was restored. It happened again about a minute later. Then it was back to normal. Was able to drive safely home. Extremely hazardous if the loss of alternator power can immediately cause…

    My 2011 honda odyssey has recently started to exhibit extreme steering and wheel wobble when braking. It started to wobble initially at speed. Now it wobbles at almost any reasonable speed. Honda does not seem to have any recall information about this. At speeds it is severe enough to warrant a loss of control specially driving downhill on curves. It is very hard to keep control of the vehicle.

    This vehicle has issues with excessive wheel vibration when braking at high speeds attributable to premature failure or warping of the brake rotors. I have nearly 60,000 miles on my van and have had to replace and/or turn my brake rotors about every 10,0000 to 15,000 miles. When the condition occurs, it seems to progress rapidly to the point of becoming dangerous when trying to stop at high speeds. The steering…

    On 9/3/13, while driving five children to school in our leased 2011 honda odyssey, the engine shut down abruptly and without warning while i was turning through a major 4-way intersection. The steering wheel and brakes immediately locked, leaving me completely paralyzed and unable to control the vehicle. The odyssey coasted into a yard, narrowly missing a large pole, where i was able to place it into park and…

    When i brake driving 40mph or more, the car and the steering wheel will shake and vibrate extremely violently. This started when there was only 30k miles on the car so i took it to a dealer in tn and they said they didn't find a problem. Then at 42k miles, i took it to another dealer in va and the front rotors and pads were replaced. However, this did not fix the problem. Now the car has 70k miles and the shaking…

    Noticed when driving at highway speed and then having to brake abruptly there would a pulsation and the steering would start shuttering. Dealer diagnosed it as uneven brake pad wear due warped rotors. Cost to replace pads and resurface rotors, with tax, was $219.34. Was advised that rotors could be resurfaced one more time. *tr

    I have been experiencing a front creaking noise on my vehicle when i'm turning at low speeds. I've add the van in twice for the repair and was covered under the warranty. My van needs to now go in again for the third time and it's not under warranty. There is a service bulletin out for this, 11-038

    A warning message stating "battery charge low" repeatedly comes on in the information display. I have taken it to the dealer several times but there has been no solution offered by the dealer or manufacturer. There is also an unusual noise coming from the steering and suspension whenever making a 90 degree right turn.
