Replying to: mooger1 (Apr 11, 2009 4:49 pm) Noticed the discussion here about wheel bearings.... Just had the right front wheel bearings repaired under warranty on my Ody 07 EX-L. 15,000 miles.   I have owned various Honda products since 1984, and I cannot ever remember a mechanical problem like this. I was very surprised. The sound developed right after I switched over from snows to all-seasons, and it sounded like I was driving a truck with huge tires, so I had the wheels balanced and rotated, thinking it was something there. Nope - wheel bearings bad in the right front at 15K. Very surprised, so I wanted to mention it here in case anyone else is hearing this sound. It is like a howl that varies with road speed, and most noticeable at around 40 to 50 mph. Replies to this message: bobber1 (Apr 16, 2009 3:32 pm)

Replying to: mooger1 (Apr 11, 2009 4:49 pm) I have talked to my mechanic about humming sound and he said it is not wheel bearing but bearing that is in the transmission. He said if it was wheel bearing, it should sound consistently not intermittently. I am not sure why your problem was fixed but I think it will come back again in the near future. What warranty was it under? Under Power train or was it different warranty? I stopped by Honda dealer and they charge $90 just to look at the problem.

Replying to: kaesan (Apr 19, 2009 2:36 pm) My van was still under the factory warranty, it did not cost me a penny. The noise was not constant, it would only make the noise at 40 - 42 and then again at 60 miles an hour.My mechanic told me that he did not think it was the wheel bearing because if it was it would make it all the time, but he did hear a little grinding noise when he would spin the wheel. He decided to try replacing the bearing, drivers side and the noise went away, thats all i can say. If your noise comes and goes it could be the wheel bearing mine was..If your vans is under warranty why would they charge you anything. I don't understand how they can determine that the noise is coming from the transmission. Heres what we did drive the van on a straight highway at around 60 miles an hour, TURN the van off and listen for the noise NOW THE MOTOR AND THE TRANSMISSION ARE OUT OF PLAY BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS OFF my noise is gone completely,You maybe try a different honda garage, and get a refund of your 90 dollars, If your van is out of warranty the take it to local garage and leave honda out of it. Like I said my noise is gone completely and it was the wheel bearing I'm sure of it. Take the road test yourself and try turning off the engine and listen to see it the noise is still there, if it is not then i don't know what it could be. good luck, keep me posted thanks moog
#278 of 293 humming sound by kaesan Apr 20, 2009 (7:41 pm)
thanks. I told him the same thing you said. I have 2006 with 56k miles on it. The noise comes around 2000 rpm. I am not sure if I want to turn off my engine while going 60mph. They told me they have to charge since they are not sure if it is their problem or if this is something I need to pay. If the problem is under warranty, then they will refund it. I am wondering if I take it to the local shop, how much it would cost. I think I looked for the price and it was around $100 per wheel bearing
#279 of 293 droning by whoosierdaddy Apr 25, 2009 (8:45 pm)
Ours has a low-frequency droning sound too, '05 Ody EX, 40K mi., but not a "howling" and it's pretty constant. I will ask the dealer next time in. We also get some pinging now & then regardless of octane used...has anyone else had that and found a fix? Otherwise very happy with the Ody, it drives more like a car and zero unexpected maintenance costs. Test-drove a GMC Acadia recently and decided its handling is more truck-like than our '05 Ody, will keep what we have. Replies to this message: hjmcmahan (Aug 04, 2009 3:56 am)

Replying to: needfourspeed (Apr 11, 2009 8:45 am) Ok people here's the story. If your 05-08 odyssey has this vibration issue and has good engine mounts and the latest update on the exhaust droan time is going to reveal that's it's another honda transmission issue. Torque converter shudder. I have an 07 touring with the same issues. Honda has burried this issue stating it is the VCM management. But enough torque converts are beginning to fail to prove otherwise. I have talked to two dealer service managers in my area and have confirmed this issue. Both say they have already replaced several transmissions. The mechanical valves that control converter timeing are malfunctioning. Causing delayed erratic engagment. Shudder, jerking, delayed engagement into drive and or reverse, surge effect, exhaust droan, and brakeing complaints when the converter fails so disengage on time when brakeing. No codes are set because this is a mechanical failure not an electronic one. Can only be diagnosed by dealer doing a snap shot diagnosis and sending data to honda. Insist on that proceedure. One more thing. It's not the ECO mode that's causing the droan. The converter is dumping in, lugging the engine and causing the droan.
#281 of 293 So glad to know I'm not alone and not crazy... by lkief May 23, 2009 (11:03 pm)
Good grief. Our 2000 Honda Odyssey only has 63,000 miles on it. Honda replaced the transmission a year or so ago on extended warranty. After that it started making a horrible humming noise in what seems like the front driver side wheel area whenever you got between 50 and 60 mph. Took it back to Honda, they said it was wheel bearings. We replaced them...same problem. Took it in to check the brakes and A frames, no problems seen anywhere. Still the humming sometimes around 45 but usually between 50 and 60 MPH. Everyone thinks we are crazy. It sounds so loud that I thought there must be a major problem and we are afraid to drive it on the freeway or take it on any long trips. We've been so happy with this car until now, but we can't find anyone who can tell us what the hell is going on. I read the posting about the "A" exhaust pipes and will check that out next...thanks to whomever posted it. In the meantime, if anyone else has an idea of how to fix this problem I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks..

Replying to: lkief (May 23, 2009 11:03 pm) .... Took it back to Honda, they said it was wheel bearings. We replaced them...same problem. ....   Wrong Diagnosis : You had paid the labor and cost of wheel bearings but later found that problem wasn't this part. Did they take back the parts and what was happened to the expense re this repalcement? Replies to this message: lkief (May 24, 2009 8:09 am)

Replying to: bigdadi118 (May 24, 2009 5:27 am) Just like all the others are posting here, they just ignore the problem. When it first started I had a difficult time making it happen, so when the tech would ride with me I couldn't make it do it. Now, however, I can initiate the sound by simply getting the speed up between 50 and 60. We also noticed that it happens more when you are either traveling up or down in elevation on the road. What a shame. We have never been to happy with a car before all this started. Honda sent us a letter when we bought the car in 2002 telling us that certain models were having transmission problems. They extended the transmission warranty to 100,000 miles and sure enough when we got to around 50K the transmission started giving us problems. We took the car to the dealer and they replaced the transmission without cost. We has the same excellent response when we experienced problems with the electric side door locking. They completely replaced the locking system with the new, larger version used in the new model year...again no cost to us. But this problem seems to be systematically ignored by Honda. Maybe they don't know how to fix it. Anyway, we'd like to sell the car but there is no way I would sell it and pass this problem along to someone else. Until we can find a way to fix it, we're stuck in model year 2000. Honda, if you are reading this blog and want to keep faithful customers happy and buying your products, you need to step in here and solve this issue.
