2008 EX Odyssey Knocking Noise by naam4ever

Hello everyone, just bought a 08' Odyssey EX...on my 2nd day driving I started to hear this very light rattling/lose screw vibrating type of noise...its hard to explain. The noise can be heard properly with windows up, it comes from the right front side of the vehicle. Its not a everyday noise but heard once a while; Best heard when the van is warmed up and switches to 2nd and 3rd gears when applying gas pedal. My wife told me that I was just hearing things until we both heard it. So, I took it to the dealer. 1st mech took a ride with me dint hear anything. Then the service mgr heard it and the 2nd mech confirmed it. I was told that its a electronic component "knock sensor" correcting itself. It has to do something with emissions egr sensor and honda gas saving regulations applied to the engine. I was also told that this issue is experienced by many other EX Odyssey owners and cannot be fixed. So, thats why Im sharing my issue with everyone and would like to know if anyone out there have had a similar experience. I would appreciate any feedbacks on this forum or just email me... thanks...(eric61775hotmail.com).

I owned my 08 Touring since January and have about 6,000 miles. Haven't notice what you are this. I'll listen for this and advise.

Is there an elephant in your brakes, too? by sd_dad

I have an '08 Touring. After driving for about 5 minutes on city streets, my brakes begin to make an elephant-like sound toward the end of a stop. They feel responsive and safe, but the sound is unacceptable and embarrassing. I have taken it to the dealer twice. Both times they said it's normal for brakes to do that when they get hot. I don't believe it and am tempted to bring the van to another dealer to get it checked out.
 
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Does anyone have any advice to offer?
 
Thanks

I haven't experienced what you describe, but I only have about 6,000 miles on my van. I do think more pressure has to be applied to the brake pedal than is normal.
 
I would try to work with the Service Manager, or try another dealer that may have a more responsive SM.
 
Don't accept the "normal" argument. That is just insulting. I had that same response on 05 Touring. You might also want to check out alldata.com to see if any TSB have been issued.

On what do you base "normal" in this situation? Just curious.

"Normal", in my judgement, is a small amount of pressure and you can feel the car's master cylinder multiply that force to bring the car to a stop. I believe Honda calls this EBD or electronic brake distribution (EBD).
 
 I own an '04 Accord that has excellent brakes. I don't understand whyHhonda doesn't use a proven setup that works.

The brakes feel fine, they just sound terrible. In my view, it's absolutely unacceptable for a $38,000 Touring model to make such a horrendous sound. The service tech said that because the vehicle is so heavy, the brakes heat up quickly and it's the heat that makes the noise. Well, our other car is a heavy Acura MDX and its brakes are silent; my prior X5 was heavy and it's brakes were silent; plus, in my suburb filled with Oddys, mine is the only one I've ever heard make noise when stopping. I'm going to try another dealer to see if the answer changes.

Having driven both a 2000 Odyssey and a 2005 Odyssey (the newest generation), I know that brakes should NOT make abnormal noise (no more so than other vehicles). Go to a different dealer, if possible, and have their techs look at them. Let them ride with you, and suggest riding in a different Odyssey for comparison.
 
How many miles are on the brakes?
