DRIVING CAR AND THE STEERING STARTED TO WHINE AND SCREECH VERY LOUDLY. TURNED WHEEL IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND NOISE CONTINUED. SHUT CAR OFF AND STARTED AGAIN AND THE NOISE CONTINUED. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT A LOT OF 06' MODELS HAVE ISSUES WITH THE STEERING RESERVOIR DESIGN CHOKING THE STEERING MOTOR. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, 50K ON MY VAN, AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE TECH NEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT IS WAS AND SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE STEERING RESERVOIR SO HAS NOT DAMAGE THE MOTOR FURTHER AT IT WAS A $700 FIX VS $85. ASKED HOW COME THIS WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AS THE RESERVOIR HAD THREE (3) TECH BULLETINS ISSUED AND 3 REDESIGNS TO SOLVE THE STEERING PROBLEM. SAID TECH BULLETINS DON'T MEAN RECALLS AND I WAS OVER THE 36K WARRANTY SO I WAS ON MY OWN. I PAID FOR THE REPAIR AND THE NOISE STOPPED. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE REAR HATCH ON MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WILL NOT OPEN. THE HANDLE APPEARS TO NO LONGER BE ATTACHED TO THE OPENING MECHANISM. I KNOW THERE ARE SCREWS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL TO REMOVE THIS PANEL, BUT BECAUSE THE DOOR WON'T OPEN, I AM UNABLE TO REACH THE SCREWS. *TR
