NHTSA Complaint #10651907 — 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY

ACCELERATION TO 65-68MPH UP TO APPROXIMATELY 73-75MPH THE VAN'S FRONT WHEELS ENTER A MILD TO FAIRLY STRONG, ALARMING, SHIMMY FELT DISTINCTLY AND SYNCHRONIZED THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. WE HAD JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VAN 2 MONTHS PRIOR AND IRONICALLY HAD 2 BRAND NEW YOKOHAMA TIRES ON THE FRONT RIMS. WE TOOK A TRIP FROM MIDWEST TO UP AND ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD. SYMPTOMS INITIALLY REASONABLE GOT STRONGER BUT APPEARED AT THE SLOWER END OF THE RANGE MENTIONED ABOVE. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN AGGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT YOU'D THINK I'D NEED NEW TIRES, BUT THEY ARE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH LOTS OF MEAT ON THE TREADS STILL. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS NOW THAT INDICATE VERY BAD DESIGN ON ELECTRONIC MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE CAUSED THIS AND CON CONCUR WITH THE GENERAL POPULOUS OF 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY MINI-VAN OWNERS OUT THERE THAT THIS IS A CRITICAL FIX THAT NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED BY HONDA. SINCERELY, [XXX] 11/2/14. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
