NHTSA Complaint #11677973 — 2018 HONDA ODYSSEY

The driver side coil spring broke on the lower end of the spring. It started to sound squeeky after a change in the road or a bump. 2 years ago, the right (passengers) coil spring broke in the middle of the spring on a main highway going 60miles/hr in another state from where we live. The car needed towed then and replaced. I filed a report with you then. No one was hurt either time but could have been. The springs have been on back order....2 years ago we couldn't get a replacement because they were on back order for 2 years then and needed to get a backup from a juck yard to replace. This time we still can not find a replacement in stock and are afraid the springs are not strong enough for the honda cars which is why they have been on backup and keep failing. So now they have been on back order for 4 years. My husband's car has springs bigger than what they put on the minivan. And with the part on backorder still...I don't think they are good or that Honda wants to replace them. We had to get springs from somewhere else to replace this spring....causing us to pay for 2 new ones to put on the car. Car is currently in the shop (auto shop) waiting for the parts to arrive from another state to replace. These should definately be recalled! I don not have a heavy family or put heavy stuff in my vehicle but someone is going to get hurt soon. Honda needs to take care of this safety problem and reimburse for all the coil spring problems.
