WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, NOTICED THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM TIRES AND VIBRATION IN THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED A LARGE BULGE ON ONE OF THE TIRES AND THE BULGE WAS ON THE TREADS. THE TIRE STORE DESCRIBED THIS AS TIRE TREAD SEPARATION. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THREE MONTHS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. TWO OF THE FOUR TOYO VERSADO TIRES ON MY VEHICLE FAILED AS A RESULT OF TREAD SEPARATION. THE RETAIL STORE WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE TIRES GAVE ME A CREDIT TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF NEW TIRES.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING SINCE IT WAS NEW. I REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP AT 34K MILES. I HAVE PUT 3 SETS OF TIRES ON MY MINIVAN EVEN THOUGH I ROTATE EVERY OTHER OIL CHANGE. ALL DONE BY THE DEALER. MY VAN WILL LOOSE STEERING AT TIMES WHEN IT IS COLD AND MAKES A LOUD NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WILL SHAKE WHEN DRIVING AS WELL AS WHEN BRAKING. I JUST REPLACED THE TIRES WHICH INCLUDED A FRONT-END ALIGNMENT AND TIRE BALANCE. THE SHIMMY, VIBRATION AND SHAKING BACK/FORTH IS STILL THERE. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS HAVE BEEN CLEARED BY DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH MY ODYSSEY. THE WATER PUMP STARTED AT 15K MILES AND EACH TIME I TOOK IT BACK THEY DID NOT KNOW THE ISSUE AND CHANGED THE WATER PUMP AT 34K MILES. THE TIRE SHAKING, VIBRATING AND SHIMMY HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 55K MILES AND THE VAN NOW HAS 105K. I AM TIRED OF THE PROBLEM. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT I DON'T WAN TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO FAIL. THIS IS A HONDA AND IS SUPPOSE TO LAST. HONDA NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THIS PROBLEM. AS I SEARCH THE WEB THERE ARE MANY HONDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT HONDA WILL NOT DO A RECALL. HONDA NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. STEERING. PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THIS. IN ADDITION, HONDA NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT MANY WITH THESE PROBLEMS WILL BE PURCHASING ANOTHER VAN IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND WON'T BUY A HONDA DUE THE LACK OF ATTENTION TO THESE MATTERS. *TR

Honda will replace the liftgate struts in approximately 21,776 model year 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring vehicles equipped with power liftgates that were built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly on July 16, 2005 (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-055).Vehicles built after the change experience significantly lower failure rates.The recall will inform consumers of the dangers of the existing struts and provide the opportunity for vehicle owners to obtain new struts that are more robust.Based on Honda's action, the agency has decided to close the investigation.While Honda has not made a decision that the recalled vehicles contain a safety-related defect, in view of the recall, further use of the agency's resources does not appear to be warranted.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Additional information can be found in the attached Engineering Analysis Report.
