1999 Honda Odyssey steering problems

STEERING

RECENTLY, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 94, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY VEHICLE ALONG WITH A LIGHT THAT READS "TCS". SHORTLY AFTER THESE TWO LIGHTS CAME ON, MY VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS ACCELERATING. WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VAN TAKING OFF AND MAINTAINING STABILITY ONCE IN MOTION. DURING TRAVEL ON HIGHWAYS, FREEWAYS, INTERSTATES, OR CITY STREETS, MY VEHICLE VIOLENTLY SHIFTS FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, CAUSING IT TO SLOW DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY BEFORE JERKING INTO MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. ALSO, DURING RECENT NIGHT TIME TRAVEL THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER, GO DIM THEN GET BRIGHT AGAIN. THE VEHICLE ALSO SLOWS DOWN WHEN TURNING CORNERS THEN WILL SUDDENLY JUMP INTO MOTION. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR RECENTLY WENT OFF TRACK CAUSING A SCREAMING ALARM TO SOUND DURING TRAVEL. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD TO HAVE THE HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING LINE REPLACED BECAUSE IT HAD A HOLE IN THE UPPER HOSE.I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED THAT THE POOR ACCELERATION OF MY VEHICLE AND THE VIOLENT JERKING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION TO WORK, SCHOOL AND ANY IMPORTANT PLACE THAT I NEED TO TRAVEL TO.

STEERING:RACK AND PINION:RACK

IN MAY OF 2002, I PURCHASED A USED 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM A REPUTABLE HONDA DEALER IN CONWAY, AR. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE CAR HAD 48,680 MILES. THE CAR WAS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. APPROXIMATELY FIVE MONTHS LATER, I NOTICED TWO THINGS: MY GEARS WERE SLIPPING AND MY POWER STEERING FLUID GETTING VERY LOW. ON 10/29/02 (AND 57,163 MILES), I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I RESIDE IN MONROE, LA. IT WAS DETERMINED FROM THE TECHNICIAN THAT MY POWER STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING AND THAT I HAD TO REPLACE MY ENTIRE STEERING RACK. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! RACK WAS REPLACED.

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR

AT SPEEDS 70 MPH AND GREATER, A SEVERE VIBRATION OCCURS IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS DUE TO THE TIRES AND THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THEM. AT APPROX 20,000 MILES I DECIDED TO DO SO AND THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY. I HAVE HEARD THAT HONDA IS REIMBURSING SOME OWNERS FOR THE EXPENSE OF NEW TIRES IN THIS SITUATION. I AM LOOKING FOR THE SAME FROM HONDA.( DOT NUMBER: )
