2005 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS WHICH HONDA NEEDS TO REPLACE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION JERKS THE VEHICLE FORWARD AT SPEEDS OF 20-45 MPH. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS YOU COULD BE DRIVING SLOWLY AT 15-20MPH IN SCHOOL ZONE AND THE TRANSMISSION JUDDERS AND JERKS THE VEHICLE FORWARD. HONDA IS MAKING CUSTOMERS SPEND $'S TO PERFORM TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHES, HAVE DEALERSHIP DO SOFTWARE UPDATES AND CHANGE TORQUE CONVERTERS. NONE OF THESE WILL WORK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE VALUABLE LIVES ARE LOST LIKE WITH THE TOYOTA INCIDENT. HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO ISSUE A FORMAL TRANSMISSION RECALL BECAUSE IT WOULD COST THEM HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS. THE US GOVERNMENT HAS A DUTY TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM THOROUGHLY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

STEERING OF HONDA ODYSSEY (2005 EXL)BECOMES VERY STIFF AND MAKES IT VERY HARD TO MANEUVER SPECIALLY AT SLOW SPEED AND AFTER HAVING DRIVEN IT FOR A WHILE. STARTED HAPPENING AFTER 40,000 MILES JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOME STIFFER AND STIFFER. I AM WORRIED THAT IT CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AS IT WORSEN FURTHER AND STARTS BECOMING EVEN STIFFER. MY WIFE PRIMARILY DRIVES THIS CAR AND SHE IS STARTED TO HAVE A HARD TIME TAKING TURNS AT SLOW SPEED.

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.
