howdy - i'm new to the forum but have had my stinkin oddy for almost 2 years now (only 11K miles)and am ready to send it to the scrap dealer. i have been to 2 dealers and have talked with corporate customer service about recurring problems. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED ANY OF THESE?
- at 35 mph, my tranny shifts so hard (mainly upshift now, but in the past the downshift was so bad i thought the brakes were engaging by themselves)it is jolting and upsetting. sometimes the inertia of things inside the car causes them to fall off seats/center table the shift is so hard.
- at 1500 - 1750 rpm, there is a noticable engine noise right in front of the driver's side that sounds like air being sucked into a carb (yes, i know that is NOT a possible explanation on the oddy).
- when warmed up and braking moderately hard, the left front brake makes a horrible noise that sounds almost exactly like the noise disc brakes make with the rotor has about 1mm left on it.
- those damn auto doors - don't even get me started. they work when they freakin want to.
i am trying to scehdule a meeting with the honda regional manager, but so far nothing. i bought this van sight unseen and with no test drive based on honda's reputation (i am a very satisfied past and current acura owner), but this van is a pain in the rear.
IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ANY EXPERIENCE OR INFORMATION ABOUT ANY OF THESE ISSUES, PLEASE PLEASE POST HERE SO I CAN SHOVE IT IN HONDA'S FACE.
thanks
