Problems with 2006 Honda Odyssey STEERING

Power steering is making noise but have power steering fluid

High pressure hoses

Engine leaking oil and smoke appears when the van is on seats feel loose

Upon acceleration of the vehicle on all roads there is an uncontrollable shaking. from a complete stop or from driving and trying to accelerate,

When starting or parking car p/s does not work. also loud grinding noise when turning. had pressure hose changed. situation getting worse and is becoming dangerous. from mu mechanic and the internet learned that honda had silent recall but was never notified and that recall was up to 100k. this is a saftey issue and a mandatory recall should be launched. this seems to be a common problem from what i have been reading. this has been going on for some time.

Vehicle steering is stiff on slow turns and parking. steering column vibrates at a high rate of speed. tie rods have been replaced. new tires, rotors and brake pads have also been replaced. high pitched sound also comes from steering column while idling in stationary position. moisture appears around o-ring leading into the steering fluid pump. regular maintenance has already been performed since purchase (new in april 2006). the steering issue concerns me as the 'symptoms' come and go. i've talked with others who have same model/year and they experience same problem. honda owes it to their customers to issue a recall on this 2006 honda odyssey power steering problem. it's a costly repair that seems to be prevalent in quite a few 2006 odyssey's. service records for this vehicle are in owners possession.

While there is already a honda service bulletin issued concerning problem (bulletin #: 11-039). the response by honda is not adequate. the problem is that the steering wheel is hard to turn at low speeds (such as turning into and out of parking spots). although this defect with the power steering pump only occurs at low speeds it still a safety issue. the fact that is very hard to turn the steering wheel can reasonable lead to pedestrian accident such as pedestrian becoming pinned against a car. honda extended the warranty on this part to 7 years / 100,000 miles. i have under 80,000 miles on my car but honda claims i am a few months beyond the 7 year date. honda should be required to further extend this warranty as many people will not be able to afford this expensive repair and it could leave to injury to persons in parking lots. *tr
