I noticed a resonant vibration in our Odyssey after about 45K miles when cruising at a steady 40mph. Originally, the vibration seemed to be stimulated by road bumps. It almost produced a thumping when tire pressure was very low. Put a new set of tires on and the problem seemed to disappear for a while. It is now back and is best described as a pulsating high frequency vibration which occurs in a narrow speed range around 40mph. I took it back to the tire shop where they re-balanced tires with no effect. I don't think my dealer knows how to spell vibration... Any clues as to how to repair? Also I notice a droning noise on acceleration at speed that I don't recall always being there. Thanks for any input.

Replying to: snakeknuckles (Jun 24, 2008 4:10 am) I also have the droning noise between 47 and 52 mph. Was told by Honda that it's normal. You can also feel every downshift of the transmission as well. (45mph..35mph.. 25 mph 15 mph until the vehicle stops) I now shift it in neutral when cruising to a stop so I don't feel the annoying down shifting. How about spongie brakes??? The pedal nearly goes to the floor when stopping. (again, Honda says it's normal) As you can probably tell, I am very disappointed in this van. This is my 6th Honda purchase and you can bet my last!! |

I had a similar vibration problem with my 05 EX-L. It shook at 40mph and 1500 rpm in top gear. I thought it was a trans. They pulled out TSB 06-083 and replaced the motor mount. It has 69K on it but fortunately I have an extended warranty. It cost me the deductible.

| We experienced on a trip smoke and a burning smell coming from the radio in our 03 odyssey. We had the Air on and climbing in the mountains right after a stop when this occurred. When I pulled over to check, no signs of burning or blown fuses, and all options were working. No other problems after 450 miles. Any thoughts? | |

Replying to: hester (Jul 31, 2008 3:53 pm) BTW this is good for a laugh, I contacted the former owner of this vehicle asking what they knew about this vibration, and they told me that the dealer told them they should always drive with overdrive off. Their gas mileage must have sucked.

| I own the EX-L platform of the 2005 Honda Odyssey and had no complaints until about 90K. I experienced the vibration issue posted all over the internet and yes had the broken rear engine mount replaced. The dealership and local honda representative made a number of concessions to reduce the bill to just under $200. It's been about a month since the repair and I still have some vibration issues around 40 mph (1800-2100 rpm), also at higher speeds around the same rpm level. The dealership can not find the issue after two revisits. I notice more in the morning (cold engine). Any advice? | |

Replying to: hester (Oct 18, 2008 4:43 am) Just trying to gather some ammunition before I take this van in. If they don't drive it right they may not feel this vibration at the dealer. I have the extended warranty too but I'm not even to 30k yet. At least if they have to replace the tranny I will get rental car reimbursement with the extended warranty.

2008 Honda Odyssey - this vehicle has a low droning sound, the droning sound is most prominent when cold and in reverse or cold in gear and stopped (this droning sound can be recreated anytime by placing the vehicle in drive, pressing the brake down and bringing the rpm to 1000). Once the vehicle warms up it isn't as bad but still present and annoying. The vibration seems to occur every time the transmission drops into 5th and you remain at a steady speed/load at 1500rpm. There is also a slight engine shake when in park at idle all the time regardless of temperature. The transmission seems a little harsh when downshifting, it seems to hesitate and then drop into gear causing the vehicle to jerk slightly. Can anyone comment on these concerns? Have other 2008 Odyssey owners experienced the same issues and is the a fix I can pass onto my dealer as it has been in 3 times with NO PROBLEM FOUND. |
