I have a 2006 EX-L and have the same problems, but in the TSB #A09-053 it doesn't include 05-06 models. What should I do?

tsais:
Have you had the issues in the following TSBs, which apply to your 2006 EX-L Ody?

http://www.in.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/A06-083.PDF

If so, you should get them done first and then report back if you are still having issues.

I have done the A06-050 TSB (Drone or Moan When Driving at 2,100 RPM) in 08/2006, but the problem is not 100% solved; A06-083 (Excessive Engine Vibration at Idle or Below 2,100 RPM): dealer replaced the rear engine mount to correct a vibration problem when the rpm is between 1400 and 1600, but I still feel the vibration. Some people say the torque converter is the problem to this specific vibration, and eventually it will damage the transmission; A07-028 (Pinging, Rattling, or Squealing During Light Acceleration): I don't have this problem.

just curious, how bad is the vibration/shimmy everyone is feeling? Been trying to get this situation taken cared of but the service departments keep saying they don't feel anything. The software has been updated (2007 odyssey) and it may be getting worse. It happens when you take your foot off the gas and then accelerate. The vibration is not jaw breaking but it is there and was not there when it was new.
They don't know how to test the torque converter and they have said there would be a grinding noise if it was failing. The TSB does nto mention any type of grinding noise. Please share if you had success in getting this remedied.

For my next visit with Honda, I will take my 06 Odyssey EX-L to a different dealer with some TSB's and see how it goes. Wish me luck.

Re: Steering wheel vibrates when slowing down from 75 mph [tonton26]

Bought used 2006 EX at 29600 miles. Identical problem as tonton26, obvious vibration of steering wheel when slowing down (applying the brakes) from 70mph. Vibration disappears at 60 mph and under. Also I can notice some vibration in the steering wheel even when cruising at 70 mph, more obvious when I release the gas pedal at this speed but less obvious than when braking. All this makes me think it may be something in the direction system, maybe a bad tie rod or a loose front end. My mechanic (not at Honda dealership) installed after-market rotors, both front and back, next day after I bought the car. When I took it to the dealer couple a days ago, they said the rotors are warped, but the car presented same vibration when I drove out of the dealer lot right after purchase. I should have taken it back next day to the dealer instead of my mechanic, but original rotors looked bad, I thought that might be the reason for the vibration and new rotors with my mechanic cost half of Honda's quote.
I had all 4 wheels balanced during my visit with the dealer, but that didn't change a thing.
I would appreciate any suggestion. Tonton26, did you fix your problem, do you have any updates?
Thanks

Nuts of 4 wheels should be torque-wrench tightened. Air gun is quick but easily overtightened makes the rotors warped.

Thanks bibdady118!. You are saying that over tightening can cause the rotors to warp. Is that temporary, I mean if you tighten lug nuts at correct torque, vibration should go away?
I also know that warped rotors will create vibration during braking at any speed and you will feel that both in the steering wheel and in the braking pedal. That might be my case, but I feel vibration ONLY in the steering and ONLY at high speeds.
Dealer suggested to turn the rotors, but again they are new and I would like to check any other possibilities before that.

just an update on the vibration. took it to the service department and retest drove with the service manager this week. he finally felt the judder at low speeds and the torque converter was replaced today. the van was really driving rough within the last week after the software update. instead of masking the judder, the update may have made things worse. the service manager stated that there were a couple of other odysseys in for torque converter replacement after they had the software update. they also replaced a bad ball joint, didn't realize the steering was so stiff compared to now.
needless to say, the van does drive much better and vibration is not as bad. i think the van has the potential to drive better but i guess we will live with what we have for now. just worried that the new torqui e converter will go out again within 30,000 miles. the service department i work was extremely helpful but i think they may have their hands tied by honda with some of these issues.
