#7172 of 7211 Re: Shudder at 30/40mph in a '04 [cwalti] by sams2 Jan 07, 2008 (5:04 pm)
Replying to: cwalti (Jan 06, 2008 8:22 pm) When I purchased my used 2003 Ody I had the shudder experience. Dealer frist thought it was a transmission problem but then found it had something to do wqth the egr valve. Hope this helps.
#7173 of 7211 automatic gear shift in 2003 by vkhpera Jan 10, 2008 (6:54 pm)
Anybody who owns a 2003 honda ody - please run a test. Put the car in park. make sure the engine is on and without depressing the brake, try to put the car in drive or neutral or even reverse. Please let me know if the car shifted into gear (again without the brake been depressed). I know if you are in drive already, you can shift up or not without depressing the brake pedal. Please make certain you do not use excessive force. - PLEASE TRY THIS TEST.
#7174 of 7211 Buyers Beware! by honda_oh_no Jan 10, 2008 (11:01 pm)
To anyone thinking of buying Odyssey! Check out the Odyssey Transmission Issue Forum first.   All Odyssey models from 99, 2000,2001,2003,2004,2005,2006, 20007 have faulty transmissions.   Dont make the same mistake....
#7175 of 7211 Knock Sensor Problem by rupertle Jun 09, 2008 (8:37 am)
CEL indicates a knock sensor problem. Since it takes a lot of work to replace the sensor I was wondering I if some diagnostics can be run first to make sure the sensor is bad. There is no pinging or preignition going on so the sensor seems to be doing its job. There is a hesitation on acceleration which may or may not be related.
#7176 of 7211 2004 Honday Odyssey - Wheel shudders at high speed by newtohonda Jul 18, 2008 (9:21 am)
We have a 2004 Holday Odyssey that always had a problem where the steering wheel jumps at very low speeds (as I brake) or at high speeds (beyond 60 mph). The behavior is similar to how a car would behave if wheels need balancing or tires need to be rotated.   We have tried the wheel balancing and tire rotation thing several times over the past 4 years to no avail. My wife drives the van and for the most part in the suburbs so she does not notice this problem. It's only when we drive on highways that I notice this and it is VERY annoying. The problem actually gets worse everytime we take it to the dealer for a service that includes tire rotation!!   My questions: - Is this something that others are seeing? - Any thoughts on a solution? - If this is unique to my van is it even fixable? - Should I buy extended warranty given that we are out of the 3 year warranty period (We get calls and e-mails from companies offering warranties)?   The van probably has less than 30,000 miles on it.   Thanks for your responses!

Replying to: newtohonda (Jul 18, 2008 9:21 am) Wow... 2004 and you have less than 30,000??? You must not drive much. Anyway I would also check wheel bearings and the CVJ (constant velocity joint). I know this is a no-brainer, but are there any missing lug nuts, are they all tightened? What you are describing does happen when tires are out of round or out of balance. At 30,000 is not much, but do you have much tread left on your tires? Is it wearing uniformally? Any unusual wear will say a lot. Did anyone run over or up on a curb where suspension may be slightly out of whack (mind you, it takes a lot of force to bend a wheel hub, so this is highly unlikely, but possible)?   Vger Replies to this message: newtohonda (Jul 25, 2008 1:22 pm) vger (Jul 25, 2008 7:13 pm) newtohonda (Jul 27, 2008 8:56 pm) autowrite (Jan 12, 2009 9:34 am) and 2 more...
#7178 of 7211 Re: Suspension Noise [joecone] by mymaxima Jul 25, 2008 (9:54 am)
Replying to: joecone (Nov 28, 2001 7:15 pm) "Ody Owners: Has anyone noticed the suspension on the Odyssey is very noisy especially when running over closely spaced ripples in the pavement. I notice a rattling sound much like that of a loose shock absorber."   My '03 Ody EX makes the same suspention noise. Any resolutions from other owners?   Thanks.

Replying to: vger (Jul 23, 2008 2:30 am) Thanks Vger.   We use the van mostly to shuttle the kids around..   None of the things you mention have happened.. We have had this issue right from the beginning. Just haven't had a chance to pay serious attention to the problem. The dealership does not say anything is wrong with the tires, etc. We rotate tires, do the periodic maintenance, etc including wheel balancing as necessary and nothing changes.   I really want to make sure that I don't need to buy extended warranty just in case something IS fundamentally wrong and I'll need to fix it.   Thanks!

#7180 of 7211 Re: 2004 Honday Odyssey - Wheel shudders at high speed [newtohonda] by vger Jul 25, 2008 (7:13 pm)
Replying to: newtohonda (Jul 25, 2008 1:22 pm) Aside from the lousy attitude from the manager at Honda when I went back because my Oddy's tranny going out the second time, the Oddy is a good vehicle, with little issues. Most Oddys will not have major problems until it closes to the 100,000 miles mark. With 30,000 in four years, you won't come near till another 8-9 years. What will the extended warrenty cover? More years or more miles? The greatest wear and tear on any vehicle is hard acceleration and hard braking (deaccerleration), especially fully loaded with a lot of weight, on a hot humid 90 degree + summer day, going up hill, on a unpaved road, with the air conditioner on full blast. In other words, take account of what type of driving you do mostly, do you do regular maintenance... oil changes especially? Timing Belt Change is reconmended by Honda at 60,000,... independent garages reconmend at 80,000. Cost range is from $ 700 - $1500 and any damage resulted by a broken timing belt is not covered by any warrenty. If you do go to an independent garage, make sure they are trained to do Hondas, because there are special adjustments and not just a remove and replace. I bought an extended warrenty for my Honda 2000, came in handy because my tranny went out. Of course I put in 100,000 in four years, but it came out to be an even trade. As for your wheel shudder...hmmm... I still think it has to do with the tires. When you do have to change them... get Michelins, Hydro Edge. Good rain and all around tire...very smooth ride.

Replying to: vger (Jul 25, 2008 7:13 pm) Thanks Vger! I'll keep the tire recommendations in mind.
