Odyssey EXL-RES 3.6L V6
At around 20,000 miles, I noticed an intermittent whining noise. I chose to not bring it in to the dealer unless it was doing it while I had time to bring it in. Of course those planets never aligned. I figured if it was something serious, it would gradually worsen and then I could bring it in.
Now, at 52,000, it is still intermittent, but at a greater frequency. Thought maybe the belt was bad (had one Honda dealer tell me the belt was glazed and that I had a bad drive belt tension assembly). Belt never really looked bad, and had another Honda dealer tell me it was fine.
Finally I tired of hearing it and brought it to an independent mechanic today. Lo and behold, it was making the noise, which became really pronounced when I turned the wheel. He put a long screw driver on the power steering assembly housing and you could hear the bearing a rattlin'.
Just made a call to the dealer to see what they'll do. Not holding my breath, but will update this when I get resolution.
