NHTSA Complaint #10884302 — 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY

WE PURCHASED A 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL 1 YEAR AGO (7/18/16). WE IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING, AND ALSO BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES ABOUT 4 MONTHS OUT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I DIDN'T WORK. WE ASKED THEM TO CONSIDER THE ROTORS AS THE ISSUE, BUT THEY WERE RELUCTANT SINCE THEY WERE JUST RESURFACED THEM BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. EVENTUALLY, THEY DID AGREE, AND ALL FOUR ROTORS NEEDED RESURFACING. THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD US OUR 8 MONTH OLD TIRES HAD WEAR BEYOND THE NORMAL AMOUNT, AND SUGGESTED IT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY THE VIBRATION PROBLEMS. WE'RE GETTING ANOTHER SET OF TIRES FROM THE DEALER, BUT ARE CONCERNED THAT WE WILL SOON BE HAVING TO RESURFACE THE ROTORS AGAIN BASED ON THE HISTORY I'VE ALREADY SPOKEN OF HERE, AND OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED. WE FEEL HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE ROTORS ON THE 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY. THERE IS CERTAINLY ENOUGH DOCUMENTATION OF THE PROBLEM.
