We were driving down the road and noticed a small wisp of smoke coming from the steering column. We exited the highway and took the plastic cover off the steering column and investigated. Seeing no more smoke we figured a fuse had blown or some such and took a short break from driving. We got back in the van and started off down the highway and for 30 miles or so no problems. Suddenly we noticed the smoke again but this time there was a small cigarette lighter type flame coming from the turn signal box on the column. We immediately exited the next exit and parked on the exit ramp. We tried mango juice to extinguish the fire which worked for a short time but then the fire was back. We called 911 and before the fire department could get there (approx. 2-3 minutes) the small little flame had grown to consume the entire car in flames. The car was totally demolished by the fire.

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Odyssey. While driving approximately 40-45 mph, the steering locked and the contact pulled off the road. She turned the steering wheel hard to unlock it, and heard a loud noise. She took the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer stated that the wires were intertwined and when the contact unlocked the steering wheel, it snapped the wires. As a result, the air bag, turn signals, and horn failed. The manufacturer stated that they would not assist with the repair. The vehicle has not been repaired because the contact feels that the failure should not have occurred and the manufacturer should be responsible. The current mileage was 96,000 and failure mileage was 93,000.

The consumer experienced a malfunctioning of the seat belts in the middle row of the vehicle. They have been replaced by the dealer six times. The seat belts worked correctly for a short time then failed to retract. The dealership was aware of the problem at this time. (12/02/05) (the right and middle seat belt) there was a vibration in the steering wheel while the vehicle was in motion.

There was a vibration in the steering when going 65 mph along with brake pulsation (rear brake drums were tapered and the shoes did not apply properly), rims were out of round, the vehicle pulled to the right, driver's window squeaked when going down, brakes squeaked, one tire was found bad when the vibration in the steering wheel occurred and was replaced.
