Took my 2006 Oddysey LX to dealer with 4k on it. Groaning noise when making slow speed turns in parking lot, drive way etc. Dealer ordered new pump and reservoir but I had to wait for it. When parts came in dealer changed and problem went away. Now I have 5k on it and the same noise is coming back and I can tell it is the power steering pump. Dealer tells me to bring it back in. Any advice from anybody on how to handle this?
I also have another problem with a vibration in the steering wheel when not on perfectly new pavement. I have been feeling this vibration since it was new but it is getting worse. Seems to be the worst at 45 mph in 4th or 5th gear. Rotated tires at 5k still having problem. Could this be related to power steering problem? When pump was replaced the vibration was still there. This vibration in steering wheel makes me very nervous bacause it feels like power train issue- bearings, axle, transmission etc.
I also own a 2004 Civic and it has been perfect. I purchased the Oddysey because of the quality reputation but now I already feel like I need to get rid of it. I have lost my confidence in this vehicle in it.
Other problems I have noticed:
When idling I can feel motor shake slightly, worse when cold.
Groan od droaning noise at 2100 rpm.
Whistle noise coming from drivers side windshield.
