Odyssey AT 2006 problem
For those of you hoping that Honda had resolved their Odyssey AT problems, I
got bad news. My Odyssey only has 12k miles on it and after getting off the highway today a couple of times the AT sounded bad... almost like a distant siren sound coming from it. Checked fluid (supposedly topped off by dealer as part of service in October just 1500 miles ago) and it is slightly low. But the real bad news is that when wiping the fluid off the stick paper towel showed what appeared to be metal particles (grindings). Will be calling the dealer first thing in the morning. |

Sounded like a turbine spooling up whenever I accelerated and the sound decreased every time it upshifted, as revs decreased. Turned out to be the PS pump - which was logical because the steering also felt disconnected, and since the PS pump is driven off the engine, then the sound would rise and fall with engine speed.

However the steering feels perfect during the episodes. Did yours happen consistantly once it started? Mine is intermittent with no pattern whatsoever. Completely unpredictable when it will happen. |

Completely unpredictable > when it will happen. Mine was intermittent as well, although I could tell that the steering was 'looser' than it had been. But the whining came and went. I never could pick up a pattern (i.e., always when very warm outside, or when it rained, etc). Dan D '07 Ody EX Central NJ USA |
