When the eco button turns on, the transmission starts to make a rattling noise and it changes how the car drives. The steering wheel and foot petal start to shake or tremble. Also, the suspension on the car is extremely noisy and Honda has failed to fix it. Lastly and the most important issue this car has, is that the gasoline moves around in the car as you drive or park your car. You can hear the gasoline swooshing around on the bottom of the car at all times. I've taken the car several times to by local Honda dealership and they cannot fix anything. They state that everything is a "characteristic design" with the car. According to the Honda representative that rode in our car, they have had complaints regarding the transmission, suspension and gasoline issue.

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.
