NHTSA Complaint #10325574 — 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY

I WAS BACKING MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK FROM THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE. THE WHEELS WERE TURNED FOR EXITING THE DRIVEWAY ONTO THE ROAD. CONTINUED TO HEAR RANDOM NOISES DURING THE NEXT 3 DAYS OF DRIVING AND FINALLY CRAWLED UNDER THE VAN. THEN I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING WAS BROKEN. LUCKILY IT DID NOT PUNCTURE ANYTHING AND LODGED ITSELF AGAINST THE UPPER SURFACE OF THE SUSPENSION CAVITY. IN THIS POSITION IT STILL PROVIDED SOME SUSPENSION. I WILL BE TAKING THE VAN IN TO HAVE THE SUSPENSION SYSTEMS IN THE FRONT OF THE VAN REPAIRED. I WILL BE INSISTING THAT HONDA PAYS FOR THE REPAIRS AS I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR SITUATIONS AND PRIOR INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA THAT SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL. *TR
