| We were about to purchase a 2007 Honda Odyssey when we noticed a rust colored powder fall out from the 'hinged' area of the back seats. We are concerned that other areas may be corroded or is this simply due to the fact that the car may have been sitting on the lot so long without movement...it only has 7 miles. Any thoughts/similar experience? | |

What I need to know about is this "manual bleeding while another pumps" procedure. If that's all it takes, I'll just take the van to my local service station mechanic and have them do that for much less than the cost of driving 200 mile RT to the dealership. So, when you say "while having another person pump the brake pedal," does that mean the other person constantly pumps the pedal, or just holds pressure on the pedal, or exactly what? If I have my mechanic do it, I want to be able to tell him precisely what to do, if this is not a usual type of bleeding procedure. Thanks in advance.

| 2007 honda odyssey. I have had steering pulls since the day i bought this lemon,sounds harsh! well,its a brand new car and i have never had this with any other new car I brought it to the dealer 4x within a year and have been told its the tires,roads and that having a pull is normal for all minivans. They also told me that there 80,000 dollar alignment machine cant find anything wrong with the van. Well it pulls all the time and if i let go of the wheel id be in the next lane ...nice to have my family in a car that i know is unsafe!!!!!! I know 3 people who bought toyota minivans and love them and have no problems with them. MAYBE i should have spent alittle more on the toyota | |

By SHERYLL ALEXANDER | AOL AUTOS As environment-friendly Martha Stewart might know, that new car smell is not a good thing. In fact, inhaling the fumes from your new car can be toxic and are created from a literal soup of chemicals such as arsenic and formaldehyde, which can take years to completely be "out-gassed" from your new car's interior materials. In fact, Americans spend so much time in their cars, the "out-gassing" of so-called volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from new car interiors and new car seat parts like the steering wheel, dashboard, seats and carpets are a big concern as these are known contributors to acute and long-term health problems. Unfortunately, with the auto industry slowdown on the minds of car execs and politicians, combating indoor air pollution in new cars is not getting much play. Interestingly, automakers in Europe and Japan are serious about making their cars less toxic, especially for those who suffer from environmental allergies. So, can America's Big Three really take on yet another eco challenge in a market focused mostly on fuel efficiency and lowering carbon dioxide emissions? Some American automakers are already making strides to clean up chemical emissions inside their cars. GM's vehicles, in fact, showed a 27 percent improvement in cleaning up indoor air pollution, so says findings from The Ecology Center's annual HealthyCar.org study. Using portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) technology, The Ecology Center tests almost 300 new cars and car seats for toxic chemicals like bromine, chlorine, lead and heavy metals. These chemicals have been linked to health issues such as birth defects, liver toxicity, cancer, allergies and impaired learning. "XRF is the dominate technology used to quickly screen products for harmful chemicals," said Jeff Gearhart, director of the Ecology Center's Clean Car Campaign. XRF is used by the Food and Drug Administration, Homeland Security, Consumer Products Safety Commission and many leading companies to screen harmful chemicals in consumer products. "We still see far too many vehicles that are very chemical intensive," Gearhart said. "The good news is within every vehicle class, we have vehicles we rank that have minimal use of these chemicals." For consumers thinking about buying a new car or car set, you can visit HealthyCar.org and search the findings by model or compare models.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Oct 20, 2008 6:02 am) We've had zero problems with our van and have no regrets having purchased it. It's such a great utility vehicle. We haul our 3 kids around in it daily and love the fact we can haul a load of 4 x 8 plywood(and I have done that several times). My only complaint is road noise on cement roads, but 95% of the time it's a non issue. The way it handles like a car more then makes up for that issue in my opinion. What a great van.  We hope this van will last us through all our kid years and we've got another 15 before the youngest is gone.

Replying to: bobber1 (Oct 19, 2009 7:26 pm) I added the weathertech floor liners which are highly recommended year-round - just the other day they saved a serious mess from a cup of coffee upended all over the place. We're also hoping to get many, many years of service. |
