TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS REVERSING OR IN DRIVE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE ECONO DRIVE WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEVERAL INDEPENDENT MECHANICS, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED OR DIAGNOSED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (GARDEN STATE HONDA, 225 RIVER DR, PASSAIC, NJ 07055, (973) 777-1600) WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TIGHTENED, BUT THE DEALER DID NOT SPECIFY A REMEDY AND WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE WHEN THE DTC WAS NOT SHOWN. THE CONTACT LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I LEASE A HONDA ODYSSEY YEAR 2012. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, AND DURING THE SUMMER IT RAINS DAILY HERE. ALREADY IN TWO DIFFERENT INSTANCES WHEN DRIVING THROUGH A SHALLOW PUDDLE OF WATER THE CAR'S BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHTED ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP- AUTONATION HONDA HOLLYWOOD, 1450 NORTH STATE RD 7, HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021- SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED IN THE SUMMER OF 2013. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE THE BELT WAS GETTING WET, AND TO AVOID GOING THROUGH PUDDLES OF WATER, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THIS REGION! I SPOKE TO THE SUPERVISOR AND HE TOLD ME THEY RECEIVED MANY REPORTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT HEADQUARTERS HAD NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL. SO, HE COULDN'T PROVIDE ANY SOLUTION. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY 6 AND 4 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, AND I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR BECAUSE I COULD NOT COMPLETE MY TURN. I WAS YESTERDAY AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR MY CAR'S SERVICE AGAIN, AND I MENTIONED IT TO THE SUPERVISOR AGAIN. HE SAID HE HEARD THIS SEVERAL TIMES, BUT HE COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY SOLUTION. WITH THE RAIN SEASON APPROACHING, IT IS A MATTER OF TIME FOR ME OR ANOTHER DRIVER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR, AND MOST OF THE TIMES USED TO TRANSPORT LITTLE CHILDREN. *TR
