Took it to dealer and they reprogrammed both of my FOBs. I had to spend 175.00 to have it towed in.

Engine holders

Honda Odyssey 2002  100000 miles
Could anyone please tell me how many engine holders an Odissey 2002 has got? I am worried as my mechanic told me there are five holders that need to be replaced.

Rattle in exhaust maybe engine SolvedSolved

Honda Odyssey 2001  125000 miles
Car has a rattle that sounds like the exhaust is loose somewhere but on closer inspection it feels like also vibration coming from engine. I have removed oil pan suspecting bearing problem but they all appear fine. Thinking bout looking in the timing belt area but it's a nasty bit of work to do. I did notice a lil play in the air con pulley part when I removed belt but other than that any suggestions would be most welcome.

Try to see if one of your heat shield to the exhaust might be loose.
Ljay from New Zealand 7 years ago
Yes it was the shield around catalyst part of exhaust so I removed it and catalyst scion and found that the catalyst had all broken down so I chipped it out and cars been running good ever since. Thanks for your reply

Stalls

Honda Odyssey 1999  146000 miles
My car stalls when driving. After the engine cools down, you can start driving again but, after a while, it stalls once more. The battery is not the problem but I do not know what it can actually be.

You can try changing the relay and your problem should be solved.

Engine buzzing

Honda Odyssey 2007  175000 miles
I own an Odyssey 2007 in really fine fettle but, after driving for a while, an engine buzzing appears and increases with time. It seems to be like a plane's engine, even though it does not vibrate. The cause of my problem is not the belt and I am worried it might be the water pump, even though the vehicle does not overheat nor have any leakage. Has anyone experienced something similar?

The car bearings or pulleys turn at great speed and, when they become too dry, they generate the buzzing you can hear. Unless you grease them, they will start failing causing some bandage breakdowns. You can grab a piece of hose and, with the engine on, you place on ending on your ear and the other on each of the pulleys in order to identify the one that is failing. You replace the damaged one and your annoying noise will disappear. Hope this is your problem and not something harder to repair.
SCOTTIE from United States 9 years ago
Middie82, thanks for your advice. I've used the hose as you suggested but could not detect the damaged piece, as the buzzing seems to be coming from a deeper location. I suddenly thought about the power steering pump and, effectively, as I checked its oil level, it was too low. I brought it back to its normal rate and the buzzing disappeared. Hope I can help someone!

Continuous beeping

Honda Odyssey 2007  130000 miles
Continuous beeping in every gear except park and neutral without any electronic messaging/indicators. Turning engine off and restarting does not stop continuous beeping.

Do you have the automatic doors? Mine on the drivers side messes up every once in a while and when it’s not working right when i take it out of park it beeps just a solid beep. There’s a switch to turn the power doors off when you do the beeping will stop.

Sliding door light does not come on in dashboard when I press it open

Honda Odyssey 2016  22000 miles
I have the EX model with electrical sliding doors. When I press the “start engine” button twice - all lights come on in instrument panel. When van is running and I open sliding door behind driver - door open indicator light doesn’t come on! What could be the reason for that? Does warranty cover that?

Timing Belt oil soaked & pipe oozes heavy black smoke.

Honda Odyssey 2004 minivan  172000 miles
Engine do start but followed by a thick dark smoke out from the exhaust pipe, feels like it's on fire. Hesitates so badly that the engine and the whole hood shake. Tester indicated that all six coils fail to fire. Found timing belt oil soaked. I'm not sure where the oil that soak up Timing belt is coming from. 2 auto repair shops recommend buying a new engine, but this engine still stars though reluctantly. I fear that the oil contaminated T B might jump & cause damage to other Engine parts so I don't try to drive the Odyssey. Any help will be highly appreciated, please.

Won't start

Honda Odyssey 1995 Van 192000 miles
When turning the car on, we have to wait for the engine check light to go out before trying to start the car, cause it won't start. Sometimes this can take 20 mins or more. It has been scanned a few times and no error code is recorded. If we turn the key before the engine light goes out, it will just keep winding over.

Accelerating and front end assembly problems

Honda Odyssey 2005  52653 miles
I own an Odyssey 2005 and its problem is that, every time I try to start driving, it loses its strenght for a while, then starting as if nothing happened. I was told the problem was in the throttle body, but this was not the cause. What is more, the front end assembly is making a terrible noise. It's been two times already that I've changed the shock absorbers and everything related to the front end assembly.
