#86 of 125 Here we go by pingpingping Sep 29, 2008 (8:48 am)
Well folks it has been a while since I posted. Today, 09/29/2008 I have my arbitration with Honda. To date, I have had absolutely no satisfaction from Honda Corporation. It is more like, prove it. Well if I am not satisfied with arbitration, I am going to trial.. I understand the odds are long, but if I could win my case it may help others out there like us. Honda has not offered anything but excuses up to this point. They may try to buy me off knowing that a loss at trial could mean a floodgate of Lemons at their door step. As promised, I will post the disposition of my case. If Honda is going to ROB me, they are going to have to stand in front of an arbitrator, my attorney, a Judge to do it.

Pingpingping - what part of the US are you from? I just had my arbitration also a few weeks back kinda wondering if you had the same results as I with the Honda Rep that was at the arbitration meeting. local467yahoo.com
#88 of 125 Honda is laughing at us by pingpingping Sep 30, 2008 (7:29 am)
I am from Inglewood, California. I am on my way to trial. Bautista v Honda. I went to a mediator yesterday, not an arbitrator, as I stated in my last entry. In any case, the Honda attorney claims that my vehicle was fixed because they had their expert drive it for about 10 miles and the ping was not audible. You all know my van is still making the ping just like yours is.   If any one would like to have input on my (our) court case...( I have to get it ok'd with my attorney)but will be giving my cell # and will set up an e-mail address for better communication. At this point, I am fighting for all of us who are being bullied by Honda. I have a trial meeting on November 4th. If I win, Honda will have a huge chink in their armor. It will be a jury trial, so the more of you that can write letters sharing your experiences might help the jury decide against Honda. They can paint me as a complainer but they surely can not paint 8 or 9 or 50 of us as just complainers. If you are local, you might even agree to be a witness.   I have fought long and hard and now we all have a forum at our finger tips. I am not alone and hope that you will help our situation by acting. I will write a letter for any one that has a court date. Please let me know where to send it. Together we have a chance. The odds are long but we have a punchers chance. If....we stick together. Divided we fall. Honda knows this. Help me help you.

Thanks for the information. I am from Northern California. I did have my arbitration meeting already. I will keep you all posted as soon as the results are in. It looks favorable that Honda will have one more 2007 Touring to dispose of. Talk to you all soon. Replies to this message: pingpingping (Oct 01, 2008 7:42 am)

Replying to: menten (Sep 26, 2008 6:02 am) I thought I was going crazy and just too picky about some things with the 07 ody, but I got the ping, the steering knock and other sounds, and the clunking downshift with the transmission. I had the van looked at concerning the transmission after just a few thousand miles and it was the same reply I have read on the forum, "it's normal" and " it adjusts for different driving styles" that must be the catch all. And the drift backwards on a hill while in drive is like having a clutch. It might be time to unload at 34k miles. Replies to this message: dynoman (Oct 03, 2008 2:14 pm) xinst (Oct 03, 2008 2:38 pm)

Replying to: rkt44 (Oct 01, 2008 4:10 pm) Hi everybody!   I am new to the forum. I have a 2007 Ody that had a strange noise from day one. I took it to the dealer and they wanted to change my transmission?! I didn't let them do that. I put that issue aside for a while, trying to find time to put the car on the dyno and try to diagnose the problem myself. It always seem to happen around 40-45 mph going up the hill. That noise sounded like a ping but It was very light. Maybe running on Shell Premium Fuel all the time had something to do with it. For some reason, I decided to use 87 octane (Mid Grade in high country states) and the noise increased in amplitude. More then that, it happens even when you let off the gas. Now it definitely feels like the engine is knocking. I got a hold of TSB08-071 that talks about the problem. If anyone is interested, I can send it over via e-mail. Please note that this is a an issue different than the one in TSB07-028 which is the one related to the noise made by the intermediate shaft heat shield. I would say that people that have the 07-028 problem vs the 08-071 problem should consider themselves lucky. Engine knock is a very severe malfunction. That can lead to engine damage. I will take my car to the dealer to have my knock sensor replaced. Odd enough, I spoke to the same guy that wanted to replace my transmission and he said knock shouldn't be to bad for the engine. I wish they hire people that know what they are talking about. Since the knock was minor to moderate maybe the engine is not in a bad shape. A bore scope can be used to visually inspect the combustion chamber, cylinder and piston surface. I will ask the dealership to do it. If they don't want to I will have to do it myself. I will let you know about the outcome of this service visit. Replies to this message: xinst (Oct 03, 2008 2:38 pm)

Replying to: dynoman (Oct 03, 2008 2:14 pm) Hi dynoman,     You are very wise to use a bore scope to inspect your engine. Unfortunately, I, and likely many folks on this forum, do not have access to such equipment. I, for one, am very eager to know how much damage engine ping has on Odysseys. Please share with us what you discover after the proceedure isdone.   Many thanks in advance.   Steven
