HORRIBLE VIBRATION IN ECO MODE DUE TO VCM (3 CYLINDERS SHUTTING DOWN) AT ALL SPEEDS. NOTICED VIBRATION WHEN SPEED EXCEEDS 50 MPH. HONDA DEALER NOTED THIS IS MOST LIKELY DUE TO EOO MODE BUT VIBRATION IS TOO MUCH TO BE NORMAL. VIBRATION INCREASES IN INTENSITY WHEN ACCELERATING ABOVE 50 MPH. 5 SERVICE INSPECTIONS AND MASTER TECHNICIANS CANNOT DIAGNOSE PROBLEM(S)YET. ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE NOTED BY OTHER OWNERS DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM PRECISELY.

DEALER STATES FRONT ENGINE MOUNT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER ONLY 74,000 MILES. "MOTOR MOUNT - FRONT: WORN OUT" IS THE EXACT STATEMENT. A SIMPLE WEB SEARCH YIELDS NUMEROUS REFERENCES TO BROKEN OR WORN OUT MOTOR MOUNTS ON HONDA VEHICLES WITH 6 CYLINDER ENGINES. AT WHAT POINT DOES THE NHTSA TAKE NOTICE? WHEN DOES HONDA TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE?

IN MOTION THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A LOUD RATTLE AS IF SOMETHING WAS HITTING THE VEHICLE'S FAN. TURNS OUT IT IS THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. BECAUSE THERE IS A TSB OUT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY IS REFUSING TO COVER THIS REPAIR THAT RUNS OVER $3K.

ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE: 3 MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED . THE CAR MECHANIC SAYS HE ONLY CHANGES MOTOR MOUNTS ON ODYSSEYS AND NO OTHER CAR HAS SAME ISSUE WITH THE MOUNTS. I GOOGLED MOTOR MOUNT FAILURE AND IT IS QUITE A LOT OF COMPLAINT S AND I'M WONDERING IF THE ODYSSEY HAS SO MANY ISSUE WITH MOTOR MOUNTS WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN RECALLED. IF NOT FIXED THERE ARE CATASTROPHIC ISSUES AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIFE. I LIKE MY CAR, FOR THE MOST PART BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE MANY ISSUES , SOME RECALLED. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND COSTLY.

THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR 8 LANE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. IF I DIDN'T REACT QUICKLY & THERE WAS A CAR TO THE RIGHT OF ME, I VERY EASILY COULD'VE BEEN IN A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. UNSURE IF THERE WAS ANY ENGINE DAMAGE.

THE FLUID FILLED MOTOR MOUNTS THAT COME ON THE EXL/TOURING MODEL HAVE BOTH FAILED AND FLUID LEAKED OUT. THE CONCEPT BEHIND THESE ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED MOTOR MOUNTS IS TO DAMPEN THE VIBRATION WHEN THE VAN GOES INTO ECO MODE REDUCING THE ACTIVE CYLINDERS FROM 6 TO 3. WHEN THESE MOUNTS FAIL THE VAN VIBRATES CONSIDERABLY IN THE ECO MODE. I GOOGLED THE ISSUES AND SEE THAT THEIR ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE FROM YEAR 2005 -2007 AT ALL DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MILEAGE. THE COST OF REPAIR THROUGH HONDA IS OVER $1800. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A RUN ON MOTOR MOUNTS AS I HAVE WHEN TRYING TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE WHICH MAKES ME THING THERE IS A ENGINEERING/DESIGN FLAW. LEFT UN-REPAIRED AND HONDA TOLD ME THAT THE VIBRATION CAN CAUSE MANY OTHER ISSUES RENDERING THE VAN UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING OUT WEST, WE STARTED TO NOTICE A DISTINCT "WHINE" IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AFTER RETURNING HOME AND HAVING DRIVEN THOUSANDS OF MILES, WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT HAD BROKEN AND WAS CAUSING THE FAN TO MAKE A NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE ITSELF "HEAVED" UPON ACCELERATING. IT COST $1100 FOR THE REPAIR. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON HERE, AND THERE PROBABLY SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY BEGAN SHAKING AND VIBRATING. THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD THE REARVIEW MIRROR BECAME LOOSE AND EVENTUALLY FELL OFF THE FRONT WINDOW. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD A COFFEE CUP SITTING IN THE BEVERAGE HOLDER THE REARVIEW MIRROR WOULD HAVE SPLASHED HOT COFFEE ON MY SHORTS AND DOWN MY LEG. THIS SAME SITUATION WOULD OCCUR IF I WOULD HAVE HAD A TOLL-ROAD TRANSPONDER ATTACHED TO THE WINDSHIELD JUST BELOW THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AN ENGINE MOUNT HAS FAILED ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY. I PAID $1,706.13 TO REPLACE A FAILED ENGINE MOUNT ON AUGUST 6, 2014.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY WHEN DECELERATING FROM 20 TO 10MPH. IN ADDITION, WHEN DRIVING FROM 25 TO 40MPH THE CAR WOULD SHAKE VIOLENTLY +S IF WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WAS VERY UNNERVING AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD MY REAR AND FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS WERE CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME THE CAR ONLY HAD 80K MILRES ON IT. TOTAL COST WAS OVER $1,200. -OW, AT 170K MILES IT IS DOING THE SAME THING! BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY'RE TELLING ME MY MOTOR MOUNTS ARE CRACKED, AGAIN! I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THE NHTSA HAS NOT MADE THIS A RECALL.

LOUD CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS ENGINE SIDE - HAD CAR CHECKED AND MECHANIC REPLACED MOTOR MOUNTS, BUT STILL MAKING SAME NOISE - ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE WILL DROP OUT AT ANY MOMENT. ALSO WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OF 55 OR HIGHER, VAN WILL SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AND ALSO RANDOMLY AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN JUST STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VAN UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, FROM READING COMPLAINTS, IT DEFINITELY SOUNDS LIKE HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MALFUNCTION.

IT STARTED WITH A LOUD CLUNK NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA ANYTIME I TURNED A CORNER OR DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. IT STARTED HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. TOOK IT IN AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE GOING OUT. I WAS QUOTED $1900.00 TO REPLACE ALL 5!! NOW MY CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60 MPH. THIS IS INDICATIVE OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS BREAKING. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT!! THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. HONDA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS!

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WENT UP IN FLAME, WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, ON 10/11/14. INSURANCE HAD ME TOW IT TO THE HONDA DEALER. AFTER HONDA HAVING THE CAR FOR 31 DAYS THE INSURANCE PAID THE REPAIRS & I PAID MY $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I'M READY TO DRIVE MY HONDA ODYSSEY AWAY ON 11/13/14, AND I NOTICE THE VAN BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE RPM'S DROPPED TO ALMOST 0. NO REPORT WAS GIVEN TO ME ABOUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH VAN & WHAT FUTURE REPAIRS HAD TO BE DONE. ALL I GOT WAS THE PRESENT REPAIRS DUE TO THE FIRE, EVEN AFTER WE HAD ASKED THEM TO DO A FULL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE FIRE THE VAN NEVER SHOOK, IT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. WHILE THERE, THEY PERFORMED THE CHANGING OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED BY HONDA, BUT NOW WE CAN NOT BE SURE THAT IT WAS DONE NOR CAN WE BE SURE THAT IT DIDN'T AFFECT THE CARS STATUS NOW. HONDA STILL HAS THE VAN IN THEIR LOT & INSURANCE ADJUSTER WENT TO SEE THE CAR AND NOW HONDA IS SAYING THAT THE SHAKING OF THE CAR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRE. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S FINAL REPORT THE "PROBABLE" CAUSE OF FIRE WAS IN THE ALTERNATOR AREA -SUB-CORD ALTERNATOR TO FUSE BOX. HONDA SAID THE SHAKE IS CAUSED BY THE RUBBER MOTOR MOUNTS. I TRIED TO TELL HONDA THEY ARE RUBBER PIECES AND WHEN RUBBER COMES IN CONTACT WITH HEAT IT MELTS. HONDA WILL NOT FIX WITHOUT ME PAYING OUT OF POCKET. IF THE PROBLEM REALLY IS THE MOTOR MOUNTS, I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE AWAITING A RECALL FROM HONDA ON THE MOTOR MOUNTS FOR THE FACT THAT THEIRS PREMATURELY FAILS. HONDA HAS US ON A BACK AND FOURTH. IF THEY CAN'T BE SURE WHAT CAUSED THE FIRE AND ARE DISREGARDING THE MOTOR MOUNTS GOING BAD DUE TO THE FIRE OR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL, THEN HOW CAN THEY BE SURE THAT NONE OF THE ABOVE IS NOT CAUSING THE VIOLENT SHAKE ON THE VAN.

ON 10/10/2014 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH AN INTERSECTION GOING 45 MPH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WHILE COASTING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND WE PUSHED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOST SPACE. WHILE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO JUMP THE CAR THE VEHICLE START AGAIN. AGAIN ON 10/11/2014 WHILE TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS AGAIN ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS TIME WE CONSIDER THIS VEHICLE NO SAFE TO OPERATE IF THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS STORIES LIKE THIS HAPPENING WITH HONDAY ODYSSEYS ON THE INTERNET.

MY VAN HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET THE REAR ENGINE MOUNT COLLAPSED AND MADE MY ENGINE SHAKE BACK AND FORTH CAUSING A VIBRATION DURING DRIVING. THEY TELL ME THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF STOP AND GO DRIVING. I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO OWN THESE VANS AND ALL OF THEM HAVE HAD TO HAVE THIS FAULTY PART REPLACED. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE REPAIR COST OVER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND IT TOOK THEM LESS THAN 1 1/2 HOURS TO FIX.

THE CAR WAS LEAKING A BROWNISH-ORANGE LIQUID FROM THE FRONT MIDDLE OF THE ENGINE AREA. THREE OF THE FIVE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE FOUND TO BE BROKEN AND ALL NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDAS THAT HAVE A V6 ENGINE. IF THIS IS SUCH A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM, WHY IS IT NOT FIXED BY HONDA? THIS REALLY GREATLY INCREASED THE COST OF OVERALL HONDA OWNERSHIP.

WE PURCHASED HONDA ODYSSEY NEW IN 2006. I NOTICED STEERING ISSUES ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND REPORTED IT DURING ROUTINE SERVICE. EVEN AFTER RECALL, ISSUE CONTINUES. NOTICED A FLUID LEAK & MENTIONED IT DURING SERVICE- WAS TOLD THERE WAS A BROKEN SEAL THAT WAS CAUSING VAN TO LEAK TRANSMISSION FLUID & "FIXED" FOR $1500. AFTER THIS FLUID CONTINUED TO LEAK, MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE VAN BACK. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 2 DAYS BEFORE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON AND VAN LOST POWER STEERING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT POWER STEERING. TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER AND TOLD THE BROKEN SEAL WAS ACTUALLY NOT THE PROBLEM FOR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK - I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. LOST STEERING DUE TO A BELT THAT HAD BROKEN DUE TO CONSTANT LEAKING FLUID ON IT. SO DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA. HUSBAND HAD MADE ME BRAND LOYAL NOW I'M ANTI-HONDA. SOUNDS LIKE MY ISSUES ARE VERY COMMON IN THIS MODEL.

THE 4 MOTOR MOUNTS WITH THE MILEAGE OF 54,365 HAVE FAILED. THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SERIOUS DEFECT FROM HONDA AND IT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD MY MOTOR MOUNTS NEED TO BE REPLACED! IF I DID NOT NEED AN OIL CHANGED, WOULD MY ENGINE FALL TO THE GROUND. THIS FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON A VEHICLE WITH 54,000 MILES. WHY IS THIS NOT A SAFETY RECALL INITIATED BY THE NHTSA?

ENGINE VIBRATING VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OF 35-40 MPH AND WHEN RPM ARE BETWEEN 1,500 TO 2,000. THE POSSIBLE CAUSES ARE FAULTY ENGINE MOUNTS, TRANSMISSION, OR ENGINE. HONDA REPLACED THE POWER STEERING DUE TO PROBLEMS. I ALSO REPLACED THE RUN FLAT TIRES WITH NON RUN FLAT BECAUSE THE RUN FLAT LAST ONLY 1 YEAR. I WANT TO VIBRATION TO BE RESOLVED. THE VIBRATION APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ACCORDING TO ONLINE HONDA OWNERS GROUPS.

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON JANUARY 14, 2014, AS I WAS GETTING UP TO SPEED (FROM 0 TO 20), THE ENGINE REVVED AROUND 2000 RPM, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE 2ND GEAR. I BACKED OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP AND I DROVE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED AN INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. I HAVE OWNED 7 HONDAS SINCE 1983, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THE VAN IS AT A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION FOR $1500, HONDA WANTED $5300. THE VAN HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED OVER THE YEARS AND I'M VERY SURPRISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO AT 141,000 MILES, BUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ODYSSEY LINEUP OVER THE YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES PRIOR TO PURCHASE. DISAPPOINTING.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS SERVICED BY HONDA DEALER EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR OIL CHANGE AND OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. RIGHT AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST AUGUST 2013, SANTAN HONDA IN CHANDLER HAD TOLD ME THAT I HAD TWO CRACKED ENGINE MOUNTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER RACED NOR TOWED ANYTHING. IT WAS PURELY USED BY WIFE TO HAUL MY DOGS TO THE PARK AND GROCERY THE COST WAS CLOSE TO $900 INCLUDING PART, LABOR AND TAX. I HAVE AFRAID THE OTHER ENGINE MOUNTS WILL FAIL ANYTIME SOON. IT IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR ENGINE MOUNTS TO FAIL IMMATURELY AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I HAVE SEEN MANY ODYSSEYS OWNER OF MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.PLEASE REFER TO ANOTHER COMPLIANT NUMBER 10425453. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF IT QUALIFIES FOR A RECALL.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR 90K MILE MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR ENGINE MOUNT WAS BROKEN, WHICH WAS THE REASON THE VEHICLE FELT UNSTABLE. THEY SAID ALL OTHER MOUNTS WERE WEARING SEVERELY AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED - REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE. AFTER ONLINE RESEARCH I REALIZE THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH HONDA ODYSSEYS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!! HONDA IS AWARE OF IT BUT DOES NOTHING.

DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. MY VAN SUDDENLY GAVE A LOUD EXPLOSIVE SOUND AND THE CABIN FILLED UP WITH SMOKE AND I COULD NOT BREATHE OR SEE PROPERLY. I WONDERED WHAT WAS GOING ON AND QUICKLY PULLED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO GET OUT OF THE VAN SINCE I AM DISABLED. MY HUSBAND HAD TO LITERALLY SPEAKING, CARRY ME OUT AND SAT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PASSERS BY HAD ALREADY CALLED 911 WHEN THEY NOTICED WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE POLICE, AMBULANCE AND FIRE DEPT CAME. THE FIRE DEPT DETERMINED THAT MY VAN WAS SMOKING HEAVILY AND THEY TOOK CARE OF THE FIRE IN MY ENGINE WHEN THEY OPENED THE HOOD. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THIS WILL THEN BE THE THIRD TRANSMISSION IN A VAN THAT IS LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN JULY 2011 AT 80,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED THEN WITH PROMISES FROM HONDA THAT I WAS GOOD FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS. SO WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED EXACTLY 2 YEARS TO THE TIME THAT THE SECOND TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A THIRD TRANSMISSION. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT I ALWAYS SERVICED MY VAN WITH THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED WITH THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. I AM STILL MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON MY VAN AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION? I WILL APPRECIATE AN INVESTIGATION ON WHY HONDA IS ALLOWED TO SELL LEMONS TO CONSUMERS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE ODYSSEY VANS. SMOKE AND FIRE DUE TO RECURRING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE SAME VAN IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I PRAY THAT NO ONE WILL BE KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO RECURRING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH HONDA ODYSSEY VANS. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN PROTECTING AND ENSURING CONSUMER SAFETY AS WE DRIVE OUR CARS.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 06 HONDA ODYSSEY WHICH I BOUGHT WITH ALITTLE OVER 35000 MILES. I JUST TOOK VAN IN FOR SERVICE AND GOT THE BAD NEWS IT NEEDS MOTOR MOUNTS! HAD TO LAUGH TO MYSELF THINKING THE DEALER WAS FULL OF IT. NO WAY COULD A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES POSSIBLY NEED MOTOR MOUNTS! SO DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE ARE A TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THERE OBVIOUSLY IS A BAD DESIGN IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. OF COURSE WHEN YOU CALL HONDA THEY DENY THAT THE PROBLEM EVEN EXIST! SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD THE COMPANY ACCOUNTABLE! THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DANGER FOR OUR FAMILY'S SAKE! THE SAD TRUTH IS IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL FAMILIES BEFORE HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES IT WAS A BAD DESIGN!

MY PROBLEM IS WITH MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL PAN THREADS WERE STRIPED. WE WERE INFORMED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND ACURA. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 1984. THE PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S STEEL OIL PANS IS THE DRAIN PLUG THREADS ARE FREQUENTLY DAMAGED AND THE DRAIN PLUG SEALING AREA TENDS TO DISTORT. HONDA USES AN ALUMINUM SEALING WASHER TO SEAL THE DRAIN PLUG AGAINST THE PAN. FROM MY RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM IS THE FLIMSY THREADS AND THIN SHEET METAL CAN NOT TAKE THIS AMOUNT OF TORQUE AND WILL FAIL AFTER REPEATED OIL CHANGES. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED A HELICOIL AS A POSSIBLE PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IF THAT DOES NOT WORK THAN ULTIMATELY I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE OIL PAN WITH OE EQUIPMENT. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS HONDA HAS NOT CORRECTED THE FLAW, SO IN A FEW YEARS I WILL BE IN THE SAME POSITION OF HAVING STRIPPED OIL PAN THREADS. NO ONE WANTS TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND LOSE OIL PRESSURE BECAUSE THE TREADS OF THE OIL PAN HAS STRIPPED OVER TIME. AND CONSUMERS DO NOT WANT TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS EVERY FEW YEARS REPLACING AN OIL PAN BECAUSE OF HONDAS FLAWED DESIGN.

MY CAR'S STARTER BROKE AND THE MECHANIC THEN TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS IN THE FRONT AND REAR WERE BROKEN AND NEEDED REPLACING. IN DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND NAGGING PROBLEM WITH ODYSSEY OWNERS. I HAVE OWNED 6 CARS AND NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING! THANKFULLY THE PROBLEM IS BEING FIXED BEFORE IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IS THERE A RECALL OR PLANNED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED 2,000 MILES AGO. THANK YOU

MY ODYSSEY LOST POWER/WOULDN'T ACCELERATE/WOULDN'T SHIFT AS WE APPROACHED THE TOP OF A 7% GRADE. WE PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED FLUIDS ETC.. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WE TRIED TO GET GOING AGAIN AND THE VAN WOULDN'T GO. WE SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND TRIED AGAIN, AND THE VAN GOT GOING AGAIN PERFECTLY FINE. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO HONDA WHEN IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. HONDA DIAGNOSED IT WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTER. THE ATF FLUID WAS BURNT (MY ODYSSEY HAS THE ATF FLUID COOLER TOO). THE TECH SAID THE VCM (ECO MODE, VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT) INCREASES THE LOAD/STRESS ON THE VEHICLE AND IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR OF THE BREAK DOWN. MY ODYSSEY HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AT HONDA Y HONDA SPECS/RECOMMENDATIONS. I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATION MY TRANS WAS GOING OUT (NO GEAR SLIPPING ANYTHING. IT DROVE FINE UP UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN) I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR, AND THEY FAILED TO EVEN OFFER ANY SORT OF HELP. FROM WHAT I'VE GOOGLED, HONDA ODYSSEYS HAVE COMMON TRANS/TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES AND AMERICAN HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS ON THE ODYSSEYS. AFTER THIS, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA.

LOUD NOISE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT DURING A TURN. REPAIR SHOP SAID THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE MOUNT HAS NEARLY FAILED AND THE OTHERS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED SOON. IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR SUCH A PART TO FAIL AT 65K MILES - THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE GROUNDS FOR A RECALL.

TRAVELLING ON VACTION ON FREEWAY AT 100KM ( 60 MPH ) WHEN MY TRANSMISSION WENT ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY. SMOKE FROM UNDER HOOD, ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP AND TACOMETER REVED UP BASCIALLY ENOUGH FUNCTION TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF FREEWAY. WE HAD TOWED TO HONDA WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE THAT I HAVENT EVEN OWNED FOR 5YRS AT THE TIME AND ONLY 120000KM (75000MILES) THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE AND WOULD COST ME $5000 TO REPAIR. WE HAD OUR VAN TOWED BACK TO OUR LOCAL DEALER (2HRS AWAY AND ACROSS US BOARDER BACK TO CANADA) WHERE THEY CHARGED US $3700 DO TO US KEEPING UP WITH ALL SERVICES. AFTER ALL COST TO HAVE RETURNED HOME AND OUR FAMILY OF SIX RETURNED HOME I PAID $4500 OUT OF MY POCKET ON A VEHICLE IM STILL MAKING $600 A MONTH PAYMENTS ON. UNACCCEPTABLE.

I AM WRITING WITH REGARDS TO MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A RECALL RELATED ISSUE WITH MY BRAKES AND WHILE FIXING IT, THEY NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ISSUES WITH REAR ENGINE MOUNT. DEALER TOLD ME MY REAR ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKEN AND THAT'S WHY MY VEHICLE VIBRATES AND THAT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO FAILURE WITH POWER STEERING, A/C, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION...ETC. SINCE THE VEHICLE CAN COME TO A HALT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IF LEFT UNATTENDED, I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH ANY HONDA MINIVAN'S AND WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. I STARTED READING ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET AND LOOKS LIKE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR ENGINE MOUNTS (BOTH FRONT & REAR) WITH ODYSSEY'S ESPECIALLY FROM 2005 - 2009. I WOULD IMAGINE HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AND IT WENT NOWHERE AND I WAS TOLD SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY (5 YEARS OR 60000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST) THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME WITH IT. I PAID 711$ TO FIX THE ISSUE, WHICH SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN THE CASE HAD HONDA TAKEN SOME RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHATS REALLY ANNOYING IS A BROKEN ENGINE PART WITH JUST 48000 MILES ON IT? I JUST HOPE THIS DOES NOT LEAD TO ANY LOSS OF LIFE. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AS A TOP PRIORITY ISSUE AND DO THE NEEDFUL TO ADDRESS IT. THANK YOU!

FRONT MOTOR MOUNT IS TORN AND RECOMMEND REPLACING FOR $951.28 + TAX; SIDE MOTOR MOUNT IS LEAKING AND RECOMMEND REPLACING FOR $238.88 + TAX. THIS VAN IS USED MAINLY FOR DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND ACTIVITIES. NO HEAVY TOWING NOR HARD DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY, BUT AT THIS TIME HONDA CORPORATION HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT. MY VAN REALLY MAKES NOISE AND RATTLES WHEN ACCELERATING AND I'M CONCERNED THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE ENGINE IS NOT SECURED PROPERLY.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE REAR AND SIDE ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE FAILED, AT 72,000 MILES. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. THE ENGINE MOUNTS SHOULD NOT FAIL AT THIS MILEAGE. I HAD NOTICED A RUMBLING NOISE AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING IN ECO MODE, AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS NOISE WAS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS. IT IS A DEFECT THAT IF NOT REPAIRED WOULD RESULT IN THE ENGINE FALLING OUT OF THE VEHICLE, CLEARLY A DEFECT. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ENGINE MOUNTS AND CORRECT THIS DEFECT IN DESIGN IN FUTURE MODELS.
