I recently turned the vehicle from one side to the other quickly. The steering seemed to fail (got very hard) then recovered after a few seconds. I took the car in for warranty service with a few other problems at West hills Honda in bremerton, wa. They took care of one problem, but couldn't adjust the misaligned glove box and most disconcerting of all, could not fix the steering problem. They actually did replicate the same problem I had. They said they also replicated it on other Odyssey's. they called Honda engineers and were told that the power steering pump could not keep up with the demand, but it is normal and there is no fix necessary!
