#96 of 124 Honda has know about this problem for at least 6 years! by amyh Mar 30, 2008 (6:00 pm)
Replying to: used2lovehonda (Feb 18, 2008 9:30 am) I hate to break it to ya, but Honda has known about this problem for years. Six years - at least. We ordered a new Odyssey in 2002. Back then, the dealers couldn't keep them on the lot so each one was individually ordered. Our new van finally came in, weeks later, and everything thing was fine. But a couple of days later, the back sliding door started to rattle. We took it to the service dept. and they tried to put some jelly crap on it. It didn't work. We took it back again. They tried stuffing some type of insulation into the door. That didn't work either. After a third trip to the service dept. (in only 8 days), they told us they didn't know how to fix the problem. "They had never heard of this". Sound familiar? We left the vehicle at the dealership - refusing to take our new car home again. We insisted that they take the car back. After we got a lawyer involved, they took the car back - and we even got our taxes, title and license fees refunded. Then we went to another dealer and ordered another one - hoping the first service dept was run by a bunch of idiots. A few weeks went by, and our new 2002 Odyssey was waiting for us a couple of miles away from the first dealer. And guess what? It had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM! We drove it once, like a test drive, and told them to sell it to the next sap on the list. We then went to Dodge and bought a Grand Caravan. We still have it. While it isn't perfect, our minor issues have been fixable. On a whim, we test drove the 2008 Odyssey today. The salesman said he didn't know of any issues with rattling in the new version. He made us a wonderful deal, but we decided to sleep on it. After reviewing this website, however, I think my paid off 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan will be just fine. Rest assured: Honda has know about this problem for a long, long time.

Replying to: jeana (Mar 04, 2008 12:29 pm) I think that the system is actually working. When the air inside the tire is cold, it contracts, reducing the pressure. When the tires heat up, so does the air, increasing pressure. Although these are only small variations (1 or 2 psi) it could be close enough to trip the sensor. My advice? Put some more air in the tires, up to the safety limit marked on the tire, it probably is a little low. Replies to this message: jlsxpressllc (Dec 05, 2008 8:14 am)

Replying to: baijuj (Mar 14, 2006 10:20 am) In our van we have the clicking sound on the passenger side. When you push on one of the plastic trim pieces that surrounds the window, it goes away. More than likely, it is a loose pressure fit piece, they use as few screws as possible so that we don't see them (in all cars). Plastic on plastic, it's going to eventually over time start to make noise.

Replying to: jeana (Mar 07, 2008 9:22 am) Hi, first post, but LONG time Honda owner..   Has anyone found a fix to this annoying window thing? Or has Honda come out with a TSB to stop the windows from going down when you hold the unlock button.   thanks for the info

Replying to: jeana (Mar 04, 2008 12:27 pm) Honda made the remote so that you can roll your windows down. You can also roll the windows down if you hold the key to the unlock position in the drivers door for a few seconds. read your owners manual. I do not like this feature for the same reason (it rolls the window down alittle and you don't know it)
#101 of 124 Re: Rattling noise!!!! Extremely Annoying! [sbolling] by matt2324 May 28, 2008 (11:06 am)
Replying to: sbolling (Mar 02, 2008 2:24 pm) ">We also have an 08 Odyssey EX-L, and we heard this same noise in a heavy wind/crosswind and it was very surprising...within a couple of weeks after buying the vehicle new! I believe I traced the noise to the thick molding that goes up the front door post between the front window and the middle-rear window. It shows as item #5-6 in the diagram that hopefully shows up here. It appeared to be attached at the top and the bottom of the molding, but not much support in the middle, which left slack in the molding that allows it to vibrate back and forth and make this god-awful sound going down the road. I have meant to stick something (double-sided tape or padding of some sort) to see if it would indeed fix this. However, it has slipped my mind since we haven't heard the noise in a month or so.   Good luck and let us all know how this goes, Matt Replies to this message: dvandlp (Oct 13, 2008 12:08 am) ee4life (Dec 06, 2008 6:35 am) jsanders114 (Feb 06, 2009 5:05 am) delmartian4 (Jun 22, 2009 2:59 pm)
#102 of 124 07 T'ING STEERING KNOCKING SOUND/VIBRATION AND MORE.. by oddy May 28, 2008 (3:20 pm)
#103 of 124 07 T'ING STEERING KNOCKING SOUND/VIBRATION AND MORE.. by oddy May 28, 2008 (3:20 pm)
Hello folks - I have an 07 touring with the run flats. For a while I have been complaining to my local dealer (sav ga) about a knocking sound coming from the steering components. They told me that there was a bulletin about fuel levels in the the s/rack which they topped up. It continues to knock - particularly on a grade with a sharp turn. Also and probably connected - the steering becomes very heavy at parking speeds (intermitent problem).   I am also getting a lot of vibration from the steering wheel at about 65mph - they have tried realigning etc but the vibration always comes back!   There's more... whenever the VCM cuts in I hear a whistling sound coming from the (i think it's called the solenoid). The dealer tells me it's normal but it never used to do this when new!   I have a 2000 Ody as well and it has more than 4 times the miles but has had nothing go wrong! Honda needs to get back to basics with what used to make them a natural choice!   Has anybody had similar problems with any of the above?

Replying to: sbolling (Mar 02, 2008 2:24 pm) warriorzerosix,   Today my wife noticed a slight rattle on the passenger side of the window. Pretty much as you describe is exactly what my thought on the issue was. When tapping on the black side piece, my wife would tell my thumping made the same tone. It appears to me, this is caused by wind buffering on the side black piece. I'm gonna try the same thing you suggested. It's funny, cause that was what I was telling her today. When you mean screws on the back side, are you saying there are screws inside the van that come out.....without looking at the van, I can't picture what screws you are talking about. thanks, joe
