ACCELERATION TO 65-68MPH UP TO APPROXIMATELY 73-75MPH THE VAN'S FRONT WHEELS ENTER A MILD TO FAIRLY STRONG, ALARMING, SHIMMY FELT DISTINCTLY AND SYNCHRONIZED THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL.

NOW IT HAS GOTTEN AGGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT YOU'D THINK I'D NEED NEW TIRES, BUT THEY ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH LOTS OF MEAT ON THE TREADS STILL.

I HAVE A NAVY BLUE COLOR HONDA ODYSSEY 2005. NOW, THAT CAR IS BECOMING A JUNK BECAUSE OF THE PAINT DEFECT. AND IT START CHANGING WITH RUST. PAINT PEELING BECOMES SERIOUS DAY AFTER DAY, ALMOST EVERYWHERE THE TOP OF THE CAR, AND PAINT START TO PEEL BONNET TOO. RECENTLY, I FOUND THAT CERTAIN MODEL CARS WHICH I HAVE HAD PAINT DEFECT, BUT HONDA COMPANY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX MY CAR BECAUSE THE DATE THEY SAT FOR REPAIRING WAS OVER. THEY NEVER SEND ANY RECALL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DEFECT. THIS PAINT PEELING ORIGINALLY START FROM THE ROOF, SO IT IS HARD TO NOTICE QUICKLY. IT IS DEFINITELY THE MANUFACTURAL DEFECT, SO HONDA COMPANY HAS TO FIX THIS NO MATTER WHAT DATE CUSTOMERS FIND OUT, AND HONDA HAD TO SEND INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PAINT DEFECT EARLY FOR PREVENTING THIS HAPPENING. I HOPE SOMEONE REVIEW MY COMPLAINT, AND HELP ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR READING. *TR

MY FIANCE, ME, AND OUR 3 MONTH OLD SON WERE INVOLVED IN A PRETTY SERIOUS ROLL OVER OCTOBER 13TH OF THIS YEAR AND WE HAD NO AIR BAGS DURING THE WRECK THEY DEPLOYED AT A DELAY HITTING ME IN THE HEAD. I HAD ALREADY HIT MY HEAD ON MY WINDOW SHATTERING AND BREAKING IT. AFTER WE WERE UPSIDE DOWN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, THEN WHEN ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO WENT BY I EXITED MY SEAT DAZED. AS I CAME OUT MY SEAT I WAS MET BY AN FORGIVING BLOW MY SIDE AIR BAGS WHICH HAD NOT DEPLOYED AFTER ALL THIS TIME. I GOT MYSELF TOGETHER AND GOT MY FIANCE AND CHILD OUT THE CAR. HONDA TOLD ME WRECK WAS MY FAULT FOR IMPROPER USE OF THE VSA OK FINE BUT WHAT ABOUT THE AIR BAGS THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE THEM NOT DEPLOY. THE REP WAS RUDE AND SAID BASICALLY TUFF LUCK AND GOT OFF THE PHONE AS IF HE DID NOT CARE IT HAPPENED I COULD HAVE DIED AND LOST MY SON DUE TO THE AIR BAG ISSUE WHAT IF IT HAD WENT OFF WITH ME GETTING HIM OUT? THE GUY SAID I WAS NOT AT FAULT. I DIDN'T KNOW ANY OF THE INFORMATION HE TRIED TO PROVIDE ME AFTER THE WRECK SO NOW I'M LEFT DEALING WITH A LOT OF HEADACHES AND MENTAL PAIN AND TOLD TO LET IT GO. I'M NOT GOING TO REALLY CONSIDERING COURT IF NO ONE ELSE WILL HELP. IT WAS MY FAULT WITH THE VSA CAUSE I HAD NO MANUAL OR NOTHING SO I THOUGHT ALL THAT TIME WE WERE OPERATING IT RIGHT SO I TAKE THAT BLAME BUT THE AIR BAGS NO IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW WE WERE HAMMERED AFTER THE WRECK. PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON !-25 SOUTH, THE CAR STARTED TO CHOKE AND ALMOST COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE ON THE LEFT LANE. TRIED TO MERGE RIGHT AND SLOW DOWN THE CAR. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE CAR WAS STILL CHOKED AND THEN GIVES IN AND GOES AGAIN. TOOK THE FIRST EXIT AND CONTINUES TO PRESS ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR. IT CONTINUED ON FOR A WHILE BEFORE REACHING A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER STOPPING, CHECKED THE ENGINE FOR LEAKS OR SMOKE AND THERE WAS NOTHING. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND IT SEEM TO START FINE. THEN THERE WAS SOME KIND OF LIGHT NOISE. I DROVE IT TO JUST THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WERE SOME STORES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THAT JUST PERFORMED PREVENTIVE TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT.

BROUGHT THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP (TONY HONDA, WAIPAHU HI 96797) FOR RECALL (FUEL PUMP) AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND TWO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS WERE DISCOVERED (RIGHT SIDE AND REAR SIDE). WAS ADVISED THAT REPAIR OF THE TWO BROKEN MOUNTS WOULD MOST LIKELY LEAD TO DAMAGE TO THE REMAINING MOUNTS, WHICH WOULD THEN HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. *TR
