2007 Honda Odyssey. Engine has always pinged and I'm unsure if Honda admits there's a problem and I'm unsure if they're working on a resolution. See townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.F153159/59?@558.nzxyajtfxtg@ everyone complains with the same symptoms. I have had the van checked out and nothing was found wrong. Even with premium unleaded, there is some ping while driving up steep hills, but premium does make the pinging subside somewhat.

1. normal driving around town and freeway. 2. engine pinging, every time vehicle is driven. Long term effect (engine damage). 3. Honda has tried to fix this issue 5 times with no resolve. Tech line states they are aware of the problem but no known resolution at this time. The most recent letter from Honda was nothing is wrong even though the dealer states the pinging is not normal.

2006 Odyssey with 32K miles. Starting at or around 28K noticed a chirping or rattling noise coming from engine. Sounds like valves rattling from going up hill w/low octane gas. Took to dealer at 30K they could not heard noise. Now noise occurs at all times from idle to no A/C on to A/C off to applying a slight amount of gas pedal.
