They have replaced the seals around the doors and lubricated them but they still rattle and the last couple of times it was in the shop, they say they cannot reproduce the noise. I have also had the steering rack replaced twice and there is still the noise and "bumping" feel in the steering wheel. I really like the car but I am very frustrated with it right now.

The Rattle Trap

I own a 2005 and it is my first minivan and needless to say I should of went with my gut instinct and bought something different. I have been so disappointed from the get go. The rattles that the dealership can never seem to permenantly fix, the dvd player going bad, whistling noises from the windshield, door panels that squeak, and a very slight clunk in the gas pedal when you start to accellerate from a stop. The list with this vehicle goes on and on. The dealership has tried numerous times to fix these issues but finally fessed up and admitted that they too believe I bought a lemon. But then in the next breath say that I do not qualify for the lemon law because I have too many miles. Now mind you they finally admitted this at 30,000 miles. Now they are trying to find me a different 2005 for an even up trade. But no luck there. So at this point I feel like I have been taken to the cleaners. And unfortunately the lemon is paid for. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do now?

I'm surprised your dealer is willing to swap cars for you. We have an '06 Odyssey Lemon. Both American Honda & the dealership thumbed their noses at us so we hired a Lemon Law Attorney. We tried a friendly mediation approach but Honda would rather fight in court.
Take the trade & consider yourself lucky that your dealer has integrity - it is hard to find today.
You may want to consider trading the '05 in for an '07 if you want a Honda again. The '07 has a new transmission & most of the bugs worked out including the droning defect.
Lastly, all of the problems you have/had appear to be first year re-design isssues. It takes at least 3 model years to work the bugs out. Our '06 Ody has one major defect carried over from '05 but everything else seems ok.
I had a similar experience as yours with a first year '03 Accord - it didn't qualify for a Lemon in my state. Need at least 3 unsuccessful repair attempts of the same issue. All of my issues, quite a few, were fixed on the first try.
Good Luck.

Ongoing rattles and ka chunk in steering

My 07 Ody is back at the dealership again. There is a constant rattle from the driver's side sliding door, a new rattle in the dashboard driver's side and we still have the clunking sound in the steering when turning left. They have replaced the rack and pinion three times which did not help, they replaced both front struts which did not help, they are now ordering tie rods and a bunch of other parts but they are on backorder. I will have a completely new front end when they get the parts in. I hope this works or I will pursue a lemon law. I have only had the van a few months and it has been at the shop more than in my driveway.

I too am having this really annoying sticking/rattle sound (like something sticking to rubber) coming from my passenger side sliding door window, it kinda goes away once the window is lowered just a little. Had the dealer look at it, they ended up adjusting the sliding doors based on a TSB, but the window rattle is still there. I tried cleaning the rubber seals, etc, but no luck. something seems loose, & has to do with the window being all the way up. If someone has figured out a solution, please let me know. Also, i have had numerous other problems with this car (mostly QC related), and have been very disappointed with Honda. They have to improve their QC if they want to remain a market leader. Thanks.

I have 1999 Odyssey with I same noise on the driver's side. On my Odyssey, if you watch the as the window is moving up to the closed position and it reaches the top of the door frame the shape of the frame changes noticeably and the noise is present. If I back the window down just a bit, until I see the frame shape change again, the noise goes away. It is my opinion that the shape of the window is different enough from the shape of the door frame as to cause the seal not to have equal contact with the body of the Odyssey when the window is all the way up.

I don't know if your question has been answered or not, but we just bought a used 05 touring ody and it had a whining noise from the windshield. The dealer said there were 2 TSBs and is in the process of ordering parts to fix the issue.

Regarding my rattling sliding doors in my newly purchased 07 Odyssey LX, after 6 unsuccessful tries at fixing it, the service manager went for a ride with me and heard the noise. He then told me he took 4 other LX's off the lot and test drove them and heard the noise in those new vans. He says he is in the process of working with Honda to develop a TSB - he said the TSBs they had been operating previously when they were working on the doors likely came from warm weather Honda shops, and in the cold weather, where the frame probably contracts more, those TSBs (like installing a felt liner) weren't solving the rattle. Those with this problem may want to be on the lookout for a new TSB.

I had this in my 05' Touring driver side window. Dealer knew exactly what this was - states this is common in all Honda products. They applied a lubricant, and that took care of the problem. Stated that I could apply WD-40, or petroleum jelly (preferred).

05 and some 06 Odyssey's had wind noise from the windshield area while driving. You may want to check out Honda Service Bulletin 04-078-could be a gap between the cowl and w/s or between the w/s and the side trim. On our 06 Honda replaced the side trim and the noise went away. epm1
