What to do about vibration in Honda Odyssey?
Had this exact problem on a 2006 with 90K miles. Fixed it by replacing both front axles. Started by doing engine mounts… (2 out of 3 shot) …..but that did not help the vibration. It is a long thread but I have been fighting this for a few months.
Why does my Honda Odyssey make a rumbling sound when going up hills?
My 2000 makes a rumbling sound when going up hills at 70 mph. The rumbling sound stops when I reduce speed to 50 mph or get to the top of the hill. No problems going downhill or on level ground. Car has 263,000 miles and I thought that the wheel bearings needed replacement.
Is there vibration when going from 60 to 70 mph?
Oh, and if while going from 80 to a stop or lower speed, there’s no vibration. No vibration while braking (which would indicate warped rotor). I have those on my truck…. I KNOW warped rotor. EDIT: Forgot to mention that hydraulic engine mount is OK.. that was replaced about 20k mi ago. No vibration in ECO as long as not between 60-70.
What kind of vibration does a 2005 Honda Odyssey have?
While I was there, another woman that had a 2005 ex leather was there for the 6th time for vibration. One of my best friends has a 2006 exl-dvd and he has the same problem. This has nothing to do with wheel balancing.
Why does my Honda Odyssey make a lot of noise?
1. If the noise is constant then might be bad wheel bearing (s). 2. If it occurs when accelerating around 55mph then it could be the transmission “lugging”. Lugging occurs when the transmission is in overdrive at a very low rpm. This is normal to an extent. If it lugs hard then the vibration is transmitted through the engine mounts.
What does the ODY do on a Honda Odyssey?
But I’d love to get some more input from others. The Ody, for maximizing fuel economy has transmission that shifts up into the tallest gear whenever possible (light throttle, medium speed) and the torque converter locks (again normal, designed to do this) to limit slipping and maximize effeciency.
What causes vibration when accelerating to 60 mph?
Had the same problem when accelerating between 55 – 60MPH. While the boots were not torn, grease managed to sift through. No more vibrations. I had the same problem and vibration gone after replacing the both drive shafts. You say Vibration gone after replacing the both drive shafts.
Why does my Honda Odyssey shake when accelerating?
If your Honda Odyssey is shaking when accelerating, it’s something that should not be ignored. While the vibration can be annoying, it is often indicative of a serious problem. Vehicle speed matters when you feel a vibration. Different problems are going to show themselves when driving at different speeds.
What causes Honda Odyssey to go into limp mode?
Reduced or no acceleration: Engine misfires cause oxygen sensors to generate imbalanced air-gasoline mixtures. Imbalanced mixtures can make the vehicle lose power or stop completely. Owners have reported cases of their Odysseys going into limp mode (the engine does not rev up past 3500 rpm), often causing near-collisions.
What causes a Honda Odyssey to lose balance?
When one cylinder does not fire properly, the engine may lose balance, causing heavy vibrations in the car. These vibrations are noticeable and often occur during acceleration or when the vehicle is idling. . Reduced or no acceleration: Engine misfires cause oxygen sensors to generate imbalanced air-gasoline mixtures.
What should I do if my Honda Odyssey vibrates?
2006 Honda Odyssey with about 120,000 miles on it. Check engine light and VSA light came on at the same time. Car vibrates dramatically and has little to no acceleration. Put off the engine and restarted. Car worked fine after that. Has happened twice in the last 2 weeks. Any thoughts on what this might be + what do I need to do to fix it?

What was the VSA light on my Honda Odyssey?
VSA light, check engine light, and loss of power. It turned out my odyssey was very low on oil. We were coming back from a long drive and suddenly this engine light came on and car started vibrating. Next day took it to mechanic and they ran the codes and checked everything.
Why is my Honda Odyssey going into limp mode?
Auto parts stores will read them for free, but most use equipment that will only pull current codes with the engine light on. Your Honda is going into “limp” mode and has significant issues. 120K miles on the original plugs means you have to a lot of stuff to deal with. The Odyssey tends to have transmission problems as they age.
But I’d love to get some more input from others. The Ody, for maximizing fuel economy has transmission that shifts up into the tallest gear whenever possible (light throttle, medium speed) and the torque converter locks (again normal, designed to do this) to limit slipping and maximize effeciency.
Why does my Honda Odyssey make rattles and rattles?
Honda will probably tell you it is a “normal operating characteristic of the vehicle” even though you did not buy it with the defect. They will tell you that cars break-in & exhibit certain characteristics such as supsension noises, rattles, creaks, exhuast noises, etc.

What causes the steering to vibrate at 50 mph?
A toe-in or camber misadjustment can produce steering vibration in a speed range, and will also show uneven wear across the entire tread belt from inside to out. An out of round tire can be in balance on the wheel and still cause vibration.
What makes the steering wheel vibrate on an odyssey?
My 2003 Odyssey never had a vibration; something is very different between these vans. The vibration comes and goes and when it vibrates it gets into a harmonics that requires slowing down to 45 mph to go away, shifting to neutral makes no difference, sometimes turning the steering wheel calms it down if there is no feathering on the tires.
