I did find a recall on several manufacturing months for faulty seals on the rear bearings -- recall # 07V399000--3/24/2005 to 09/01/2006.
Cheers and keep in touch

Get the word out DO NOT BUY HONDA :mad:
Cheers :mad:
The car has 23,284 miles on it, no frills (ie; roof, leather). The asking price is unlisted which tells me its going to be pricey. I really just want something great on gas. Like the rest of us!!! Here's the car:

I've been watching for the Prius too but the new ones, (I can't find anything before the '08) they're going for $25G's and better, avg about @ 27Gs.
For that much I could get a Infiniti or Saab..
Don't do it, Tell HONDA to bite the big one. They are going to rip you off this car has had 6 recalls on tech data problems along with the big one on rear control arms that wipe out tires. Honda is a rip off and the more people that realize that will only fix Honda :mad: . Again Don't do it go with a Toyota, you will be better off also look at the new Hybrid Malibu it is HOT. That is what we are going to.
Cheers and Good LUCK
Since Honda will not take direct responsibility for this safety issue but rather leads their customers astray with bogus and infuriating explanations of crappy tires, driving habits, rotation issues, etc., it is important that we collectively force their hand. I thought Honda's reputation for reliability, safety, and customer satisfaction would not put their customers and their families at risk but obviously I was naive. Just replacing the rear upper control arms would save a lot of aggravation, accidents, money, and perhaps lives.

Had an 06 Odyssey before the HCH's and had to trade it due to unsafe vibration that led to hydroplaning in rain. Now I'm stuck in these 2 cars for at least 2 more years and can't afford new tires every 25000 miles! I don't even care about the tire reimbursement, I just want the alignment problems fixed so my tires will last 60000 mi like on all other cars (hondas) I've owned.
They called back within 24 hours and approved the repair under warranty (saving me $450). Since I had 45,000 miles on the original Dunlops, I didn't them to cover new tires. Put new Michelins on it last week and was shocked to see one rear tire was down the the steel on the inner edge (not readily visible on the rear tires).
Be very careful. No wonder my car was hydroplaning in the slightest rain. This problem will eventually result in a fatality. Hopefully Honda of America will come out with a fix before then. I filed a complaint with NTIS.
I'll be watching for a recurrence and will be right back to the dealership if the new tires become noisy.">
We bought the car new in '05 and have not had it pulling to the right until this spring after we took the winter tires off ( a whole other story).
Can anyone shed more light on this.
Thanks
Get a copy of the TSB and see if your car is in the specified VIN number and then take it back to the dealership and shove it up his butt, until he fixes it. I had to leave the car in Oklahoma City until they fixed it. That is all that I know. :mad:
Sounds like these control arms could be the cause. Who do you think I should contact?
Wednesday.
