NHTSA Complaint #10551221 — 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY

ON MY 2006 ODYSSEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES AT AROUND 19,000 MILES DUE TO SHAKING OF THE CAR WHEN BRAKING. RECENTLY AT 34,000 MILES THE VSA WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VSA MODULATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE MINIVAN. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THE VSA IS A COMMON ISSUE. I QUESTION THE QUALITY OF SUCH AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND THE HIGH PRICE TO REPLACE, OVER $1000. WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE SUCH PARTS SHOULD NOT GO BAD. I SEE THAT HONDA ISSUED A RECALL FOR A VSA ISSUE BUT FOR 2007-2008 ODYSSEYS. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD INCLUDE ALL YEARS. *TR
