Replying to: ee4life (Dec 06, 2008 6:35 am)  I have had my 2008 EX-L w/DVD & Nav minivan for almost a year and at first I loved it and now I absolutely HATE to drive it!  I have to drive my kids arounds all the time and everytime I get into it I cringe. The sliding door rattles, everytime I accelerate it sounds like it slides backwards, I hit the brakes it sounds like it slides forward. I go over a bump and sometimes I think the door sounds like it will fall off. I've had it in the shop numerous times and they try different things and say they can't hear it. I get home and it's just as bad. I want to get rid of it and get a Sienna, I had a 4Runner before this and loved it. I test drove a Sienna yesterday and it's wonderful.  Has anyone had any luck with getting their money back or some compensation from Honda? I didn't realize how big a problem this was until I came to this forum! Thanks!

Replying to: dvandlp (Oct 13, 2008 12:08 am) The solution was the use of black silicone caulk applied to the exposed area ... that should take care of the whistling noise. Also had a lot of road noise ... solution was the use of undercoating along bare metal areas of the wheel wells ... that helps some. |

I just uploaded a video clip onto YouTube to show you guys what the rumbling noise (or whatever sound you would call it) from the sliding door that I have with my '06 Odyssey EX-L. The trip was very smooth, but the noise level was just about 60-70% of the "normal" noise that I used to hear. Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfUzofgYWec (please turn up the volume to listening to the noises) While you watch/listen to the video, you can tell when it is quiet and normal, and when I start regretting that I bought this car. I wish that Soichiro Honda (the founder of Honda) would just wake up from his grave and whip his successors. *I just came back from Lee's Summit Honda and couldn't get them to work on my car because the service manager was so angry about the survey scores that he received from me, and refused to work on my car.

I am sorry to hear that you have the same problems and I can't help. I have visited the Lee's Summit Honda dealer for so many times for the same problems, but they always tell me "everything is normal", "that's the character of the design". Right now, the service manager is so mad with me because the survey report card he received from me is so low and refused to repair my car. I've called Honda and got a case number just in case I have everything ready to file a complaint against the service manager at Lee's Summit Honda. By the way, my factory warranty expired the next day he kicked me out of his office.
