Yes, this is definitely a lesson for me. Honda called me back today and the guy said the same District Manager reviewed my case again and the decision is still a No. And he told me the right way to dispute it is to contact the Service Manager of the dealer to see when the District Manager will be on the dealer's site so I can discuss the issue with him.
 
I am not sure if I want to spend the time disputing this with them. I might just go try another dealer whose District Manager is a different guy. If that doesn't work either, let it be.

2005 EXL issues by sks3

Hi All,
 
  I bought a 2005 EXL a few months back with around 31K miles.
I have a bunch of issues to check.
1. noise and vibration caused by VCM (when it turns on) is very noticeable and when I see the rear view mirror, its like the rear objects seen in it are vibrating. Do we have to live with this ?
2. weird noise around steering wheel when VCM is on and at bumps seems to pull toward right and I had to hold the steering wheel very tight.
3. When I start the van and hit the gas slowly, some weird noise.
4. Is there a way to check if the recalls were done to the van . The van wasn't serviced at the dealer for a year before. The dealer who serviced my van (I did a 30K major service immediately after buying it to make sure its in good shape) told that all the recalls were done but I want to make sure. Can we call honda and provide the VIN# so that they can check if recalls were done.
 
-thanks,
Sam

2005 was the first year of that model and they did have some hiccups. Yeah there were some fixes that Honda covered. I'd check with Honda.

I have a 2006 Odyssey and am not aware of any recalls. The only TSB's (not recalls) I know of are the droning defect A-pipe replacement and the defective front brake pad material.
 
The VCM does make noise but shouldn't be much of a nuisance. The road noise usually is more of the headache.
 
Item #3 may be you ABS self test. SOunds like a grinding noise when driving off from a cold start.

I found this link which states a few recalls for 2005 odyssey . May be they are TSB's.

The van is one of the early ones that came out . It was from end of 2004 .

Here is the update of my brake problem. I found out from honda's warranty booklet that I could file a case with BBB if I do not agree with Honda's decision. It even lists BBB webpage URL. BBB has a simple two-page form and I filled it out w/o any hesitation. After I submitted the case, Honda had the dealer call me the very next day. They scheduled an appointment for today with me to inspect my brake. And as you may have guessed, they fixed my brake problem with goodwill warranty this time. Not sure if the honda district manager happens to be in a good mood today or it's the magic of BBB. Anyhow, I am glad that I don't have to live with the awful noise any more.

May I ask what they did for your windshield (I'm assuming you had the whistle like my aunt's does)? I'd love to know what to tell her to tell the dealer!
 
Thanks,

They replaced the moldings. The van just came back from the 4th repair (again with new moldings) and still did not take care the noise problem. Dealer is running out of ideas on what to do and plan to call the Honda engineer.

mom24, I know you posted your noise problem over a year ago, but I am always late to the party and was wondering if you got a resolution for it. It sounds exactly like what I am experiencing with my 05 Odyssey that just hit 36,000 miles. On really cold days when I travel across town (more than 20 minutes driving) a loud whirring fan-like noise is coming from the front hood, and seems to be more on the passenger side. It seems to be louder when I slow down, and still sounds like a fan in overdrive when completely stopped. When going slow and turning it really makes a grinding/whirring noise. It only does it on really cold days (40 or below) and only after I have been driving for a long period of time. I live in FL and we don't have that many really cold days and I don't usually drive more than 10 or 15 minute trips. I am having a hard time duplicating the problem on command.
 
I have had it into the dealer twice now, and luckily the first time was right before my 36,000 mile warranty expired, so it is documented as occuring under warranty. They didn't charge me for the second visit because of that, but they didn't fix it either. They can't duplicate the problem.
 
I see there was a power steering recall in 2007, but was that just for the touring model? The noise is annoying, but I want to know if it is safe to drive. If it is something like the power steering, is it just going to go out on me at some point?
 
I am a previous owner of the 99 Odyssey, and thanks to all of you got a new transmission after researching my problem online. The dealer couldn't, or wouldn't diagnose it until I called Honda Corp armed with feedback from this website. I have since changed dealers (luckily we have quite a few here) but I am feeling a little deja vu and I am not happy.
 
Any input would be welcome. Thanks.
