Replaced front suspension bump stops Replaced rear door struts because of known failure. Replaced because of rattle, but appeared to be a known issue by Honda.

New struts didn't solve the door rattle. Ends up being the seals on the sliding door that squeak as the car flexes. Bought a bottle of Honda grease to lube the seals every few months. Squeaking reduced. Transmission was clunking at low speed. Entire car shuttered. Same symptom as experienced at 6-8k miles. Not replicated at dealer. No repair made. There is a significant Trans issue. I see Odyssey owners on Forums report. Dealer = No fix.

Several cylinders misfire. Issue was related to VCM subsystem, which led to accumulation of oil in 3 of my cylinders. Dealership offered engine disassembly and clean up of 3 cylinders for 3K or engine replacement for 6K.  I opted to switch plugs and replace engine oil. Bought VCM muzzler and disabled VCM completely. No issues since then.

Front passenger side window, it starts to have strong wind noise from time to time. Even I press and rise the windows to the highest, the noise still persist. minor paint start to wear off at the edge/corner area section of the front panel, to be specific, the 3 "joint" area, where the opening of front left fender, front passenger door, and the A-pillar joint is. the plastic that hold the front windshield wiper and the glass start to change shape, not perfectly hugging the glass. Told the "advisor" at dealership, I was told it is due to the heat on weather. driver side (left side) auto power sliding door sometimes would not auto open even pressing key on remote or inside the car, or pull the handle multiple times.. it would not open. Have to wait for 30 sec. or so and try again..
