I am a member of the 05' honda odyssey growling club. I started having a vibration - growling noise in the driveline @ 60 to 70 MPH and @ 2000 RPM. This started 7 months after ownership and 9900 miles later. I have also noticed on the forums that may other complaints on this same item - I have taken into shop three times and both dealerships state that all the noises are normal. Sound appears to get louder - is that normal??
2005 honda odyssey ex - driving around 45 - 55 MPH, there is a loud vibration/grinding is felt. Report problem to dealer - they have heard about this complain from other van owners but no solution.
Dt: the consumer heard a knocking noise while driving. He took the vehicle to dealer for inspection. Both front axles broke. The vehicle was under warranty, and the axles were replaced by the dealership at no cost to the contact. *ak updated 12/07/05.
Dt: the contact owns a 2005 honda odyssey. The vehicle was purchased on july 25, 2005. He stated that with only 750 miles on the vehicle the automatic transmission needed to be replaced. Three people from the dealership did an investigation ,two people confirmed the failure and one did not. The vehicle was making a sound while driving at 70 MPH, it like a very loud humming noise. He heard the noise the day before the vehicle was taken to the dealership at 40 MPH, and this was the first time he had heard the noise at a low speed. It occurred more traveling up or down a hill or when you put stress on the engine. The dealership did some additional testing and did not hear the noise the first time. They did not hear it the second time. The third time they did hear the noise. After the additional testing they found that the transmission needed to be replaced. There was one other complaints filed with the federal safety agency on the automatic transmission. Initially, this vehicle would do this sound more often at higher speeds. But sometimes it occurred at lower speeds as well.
The consumer is experiencing problems with the transmission. When the vehicle is going 45 MPH or greater the RPM's drops down to about 1400 RPM's. When shifting into over drive. The engine begins to vibrates and will continue up to 55 MPH. When accelerating above 55 MPH the problem disappears. Owner has taken the vehicle to the dealer and has also contacted the manufacturer. Neither has a solution to this problem. Provide further details.
