#106 of 113 Re: Honda Odyssey Touring 2010 - VSA & Grinding Problems [spikey09] by spikey09 Nov 03, 2009 (4:03 pm)
Replying to: spikey09 (Nov 01, 2009 1:11 pm) New Update: TECHLINE by Honda America Conferenced-Call diagnosed the problem with our local Auto Dealership Service Dept. - SOLUTION: mail over and Replace the Entire "MODULAR" - thereby correcting: (1) Vehicle Stability Control Audible and Lite Alarm - and (2) very loud grinding noise (which is like marbles rolling and being ground up) - probably the ABS and TCS and (3) Hydraulic Pump-like Sounds resembling a Sump-Pump.   NO LUCK - still the same problems - especially driving into a curve. HONDA is Clueless...Now we really have a problem and have lost faith in Honda's Reputation of Reliability. Plus we're "out" a $40K+ brand new car that we haven't been able to sniff or touch since we drove it home last Thursday... (Only the Selling Dealer, who has demonstrated the fact he doesn't give a Damn, is Happy!! (I promise a Reward for the Hero who solves this Lemon P problem) Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Nov 04, 2009 6:47 pm) spikey09 (Nov 05, 2009 6:27 am)

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Nov 04, 2009 6:47 pm) Thanks BigDadi118 - We've researched this option already, and even contacted local N.C. "Lemon Lawyers". It's necessary to pass the required :3X+in or 20 total business days in the repair shop period to qualify for "Lemonhood".     Meanwhile, our distress continues as it is a week since we pickedup the new Van and it's still languishing at the AutoDealer Repair Shop.: Honda Tech now determined it was a defective "STEERING ANGLE SENSOR" - which was miscommunicating to the V.S.A.system with a "no signal" on turning the steering wheel...they're sending a relacement S.A.S.today!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------   PS (Honda is now getting investigated by the Feds regarding the Safety of 2009 Brake Compaints on the Odyssey Minvan !! Hope our problem doesn't become another issue that will poorly brand the Odyssey for "Tradein Value". It's unfortunate that Honda needs outside legal pressure to force them to protect "SoccerMoms" and others! Wow, Honda sems to be buckling under in this hard economy and becoming totally "Americanized"in the worse sense of our unfortunate Automobile History --- what a great and priceless loss to their sterling reputation this will be!!
#109 of 113 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURNG 2010 by spikey09 Nov 06, 2009 (2:49 pm)
Final resolution after a full week of tests: trial and error. Replacement of THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR finally did the trick. And we finally got to enjoy our new car after all the angst and nightmarish tension... Thanks to Russell and supporting team at the Service Dept of APPLETREE HONDA of Fletcher, NC (near Asheville). Their dedicated focus, together with amazing cooperation from Honda, (and a little help from up there). Thank God this is resolved! Our advice: Document a running diary of date, time, persons contacted, and "blow-by-blow" notes. Read and scour the internet - and get "learnt" quick! Then, sit back and pray...saving the "manuscripts" in your Auto Warrantee and Service Folder (just in case). Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Nov 10, 2009 8:48 pm)

Replying to: spikey09 (Nov 06, 2009 2:49 pm) How much time and other stuffs did you put in regarding this Honda new car problems? This is a TOURING, the most expensive Ody. Should Honda have better quality controls? You bought a 1st class ticket and they put you in the last row of seat right next to the toilet in the coach class. Steering Angle sensor, uh, prepare for crash landing if the touring is a plane.

Replying to: rihoops (Oct 10, 2009 6:33 am) After driving the Hankook's for a few weeks I was able to trade them in for the Yoko TRZ's. They drive better, are quieter and are much better in rain. The Odyssey was slipping in the rain with the Hankook's. It poured here today and the TRZ's were rock solid. Glad we swapped them.

Replying to: noblethomas (Nov 14, 2009 4:57 pm) They were the Optimo H727's. They were highly ranked by consumer reports but I was very disappointed in them. They were quiet, but they did not seem to handle well and they were slipping in the rain quite a bit. The TRZ's seem to handle better and were significantly better in the rain in my opinion. They also seem quiet.
