WINDSHIELD WIND NOISES.. NOISES STARTED 7 MONTHS AND 9900 MILES AFTER POSSESSION OF VEHICLE. STARTING HEARING WHISTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVE VEHICLE @ LOW SPEEDS ON WINDY DAYS. TOOK VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP AND THEY REPLACED BOTH MOLDINGS AND ADJUSTED FENDER. TOOK VEHICLE BACK INTO THE SHOP A MONTH LATER WITH SAME PROBLEM. THEY PREFORMED BULLETIN #04-078. DROVE VEHICLE ADDITIONAL 2000 MILES AND WIND NOISE STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAD OTHER DEALERSHIP IN TOWN TRY TO FIX WINDSHIELD. PICKED UP VEHICLE AND DROVE IT OUT OF TOWN AND RT. WINDSHIELD MOLDINGS CAME LOOSE. PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT DEALERSHIP HAD SCRATCHED AND DENTED FENDER AND WINDSHIELD POST. PULLED BACK THE LOOSE AND FLAPPING MOLDINGS AND NOTICED THAT THEY HAD SHOVED A RED SHOP TOWEL IN THE FENDER/WINDSHIELD AREA TO STOP THE NOISE. **IS THIS PROPER PROCEDURES IN THE REPAIR MANUEL** SHOVING RED SHOP RAGS IN THE FENDERS TO STOP WIND NOISE?? WHAT TO DO NOW - FENDER AND WINDSHIELD POST AND QUARTER NEEDS TO BE REPAINTED - I NOW HAVE LOST VALUE ON VEHICLE BECAUSE VEHICLE WILL BE PAINTED AND WINDSHIELD MOLDING IS HELD ON BY DUCK TAPE. --FYI, WINDSHIELD MOLDINGS ARE ONLY HELD IN WITH DOUBLE SIDED TAPE CLIPS - DOUBLE SIDED TAPE WILL ONLY HOLD FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, BEFORE THEY DETER ATE AND THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED.. FACTORY DID NOT THINK OF THE LONGEVITY OF THE WINDSHIELD MOLDINGS. MANY, MANY MORE PEOPLE WILL CONTINUOUSLY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH WIND NOISE. *NM

Remedy: Parts to permanently repair the affected vehicles are not currently available. Honda will notify owners with an interim letter during May 2014. A second notice was mailed to owners October 6, 2014 when the remedy became available. Any vehicles that are currently leaking from the fuel pump cover will get a replacement, original cover. All vehicles, including those receiving the interim repair, will get an improved cover when they are available. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Honda will replace the liftgate struts in approximately 21,776 model year 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring vehicles equipped with power liftgates that were built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly on July 16, 2005 (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-055).Vehicles built after the change experience significantly lower failure rates.The recall will inform consumers of the dangers of the existing struts and provide the opportunity for vehicle owners to obtain new struts that are more robust.Based on Honda's action, the agency has decided to close the investigation.While Honda has not made a decision that the recalled vehicles contain a safety-related defect, in view of the recall, further use of the agency's resources does not appear to be warranted.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Additional information can be found in the attached Engineering Analysis Report.
