We have a 2007 Ody with 14k on it (we travel a lot) and have taken it to our nearest dealer twice for similar problems. They claim they can't hear it or feel it. What ours does it you can feel something in the steering/pedals and/or hear a faint click/thump when turning to the left especially if there is a speed bump or some unlevel surface area. We don't know what else to do since they can't duplicate it supposedly when they have it. So I guess we just live with it. We love our Odyssey, but would really like to resolve this issue so it's more enjoyable.

Rattling noise!!!! Extremely Annoying!

OMGod!!! What a pain in the rear end. I had this noise for the past year and I had taken the van 3 times already. The first time they told me the seals needed lubrication and that I should clean it more presciesly. Anyhow, it solve the problem for several days. I went home 7 hrs away from the dealership and I had the problem again. Could it be the highway road that did it? I decided to take it again dec. 07 and they did not know what it was. They called Honda and the tech said that they were going to change the window regulator. They don't know if it is going to solve the problem. I am so disappointed. I don't know what I am going to do if it the problem does not go away. I feel I am getting an unfair treatment from the dealership. I feel like they think I am to picky. They told me no one else was complaining about this noise, but thank god for the internet!!!! I found out there is a lot of people out there with the same problem and it seems honda does not want to do anything about. Someone needs to write a letter to the execs. so they can have a major recall because it sucks to have a van that sounds like an OLD OLD car. Don't know what else to do!!!! I am dissapointed!!! Van's are expensive and feel it is unfair to buy something cheaply done.
HELP!

Both of my front windows rattle. It started with my front driver side - they replaced the regulator. I told them the passenger side rattles also so they looked at it, but didn't replace the regulator. But guess what? Now they BOTH rattle horribly because both door panels got taken off to look at the window problems. My advice is if you can avoid it don't let them fix them/ remove the door panels or you'll have a worse rattle.
As for my steering sound, someone gave advice about adjusting the steering column. I tried it and so far so good!

Hey Folks, this clanking noise experienced in the morning after just starting rolling is the ABS brake system conducting checks, my 07 TL Type S experiences the same thing. Our new 08 EX-L-NES does the same thing. It is a indicator that the system is working correctly. With respect to the window rattling, have not experienced this issue. My two cents.

07 window noise + whistling sound

i have a 07 touring. the front d/s window would rattle when both open and closed - asumed it was the window guide/channel - turned out to be the switch plate.
More recently - discovered a whistling sound - took the tech with me on a drive - appears to be the solenoid that tshuts off the cylinders in eco mode. However I have also noticed it when the eco mode is not kicking in. Also, if normal as the dealer claims why did it not occur for the first 20,000 miles??
Also have a knocking sound when turning left mostly - also have to agree with another post about it occuring on inclines. Has anybody resolved this knocking issue - at one point I thought it was the cv joints (assuming today's cars/vans still have them)!

I have been away from this Forum for quite a while. Interesting to see some of the posts from the past. We still have our 2006 EXL purchased in Sept 05. It only has about 13K miles on it due to mostly being used for extended family trips and local shopping. I hate to say that the post two years ago was quite prophetic. The rattles etc returned quite quickly but at least do not seem to be getting worse. Note that Consumer Reports gives these vans about the worst rating possible for body integrity. I have kept religious track of my gas mileage for the last 11K miles and have averaged exactly 20.7 mpg. On real Interstate type highway driving I get 26 mpg +/- 1 mpg. Every time that I drive the van (about once a week) I am impressed with the ride, handling and especially power. Many of the family trips here in Washington State take us across mountains which are often a little windy. It is amazing how fast you can go up some of these steep windy grades in this van. Many sedans cannot keep up. It is a nice van with great gas mileage, but I wished it did not rattle as much.

I just purchased a 2008 odyssey ex L and only have a couple of hundred miles on it and we were driving in a side wind the other day and the door opposite the wind sounded like there was a plastice bag flapping outside the window and when we came home the opposite direction the window on the other side made the same noise. I call the dealer and he said they would look at it but they did not have a clue what it was and said it was not anything they had heard of. I went into the garage and started thumping on things and discovered that the shiney black plastic door post covers would rattle if I thumped them. I removed the two screws on the back side of them and pulled straight up and they came off easily. I had some house window foam strips with the peel off back in the garage and cut two pieces and put it the length of the trim on both back edges and put the pieces back on. It totally solved my problem and you cannot tell it is on there. I hope this helps someone else.

Windows automatically go down

My 2007 Honda Odyssey has developed a very annoying problem. Occasionally all 4 windows come down about 1”. This happens without the controls being touched and always while the car is parked, locked, and unoccupied. I don’t know if they go down when I’m closing the driver’s door or if it happens when I unlock the door using the remote. I have intentionally tried to recreate the problem without success. The Odyssey only has 10,000 miles on it and the problem has only started occurring in the last 2,000 miles. So far, this hasn’t happened when it was raining. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

low tire pressure indicator light

The indicator light for low tire pressure comes on when ever the temperature drops below freezing. It goes off after the tires have heated up. The dealer checked it a couple times and finally said to just ignore the indicator. Why have an indicator that is just to be ignored? Has anyone had this problem and been able to get it fixed?

Yesterday the dealer showed me why the windows go down without the window buttons being pushed. When a person presses the unlock on the remote, then presses the unlock a second time and holds it for a bit the windows will all go down automatically. Supposedly, this is to allow the windows to be lowered when the car may be too hot to enter. [jeana]
