I have brought my Honda Odyssey to the dealer at least three times since purchased less than one year ago. Each time I asked them to look at the air conditioning system. I told them it made a "clunk" noise at start up. It was so loud, I thought it was the transmission. The first time, they told me they told me they could not reproduce the problem. The second time, they told me it was "normal" and gave me an internal copy of "A/C 'clunlk' noise on years 1999-2001" mechanical problem sheet. Hello!!! I bought a 2004 model Odyssey!!. I called, complained, and got nowhere. I recieved another recall notice, and asked them again to look at the A/C "clunk" noise. I told them it was also happing when the heater was on, not just the A/C. of course, they told me they could not find anything wrong. I have researched this problem. In the 1999-2001 Odyssey model they had a "clunk" noise problem acknowledged by you. I do not see it for years 2003-04. However, I do have this problem and feel I have been sold a defective product. On one account, they did acknowledge the problem, but tried to convince me it was a "defect" from 1999-2001. I find this unexceptable.

Multiple failures. Brakes problem, transmission, rough idle & engine surging, steering column controls and others. The automatic door would not open or close, the transmission did not shift properly and the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem. The brake pedal shuttered, the brakes would catch without being applied. The consumer was told the steering column control switch had a short, however the next day the horn honked and there was an odd noise in the steering column and the interior lights flashed multiple times.

Honda Odyssey 2004 automated sliding door failure. Upon unlocking car, automated door opened 2 inches and hung long enough for my child to put a hand in and the door closed back on the hand. Failure 1 - partially open and reclose. Failure 2 - was when the door did not auto-sense an object in the door jam before closing.
