ENGINE
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. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN NOVEMBER 2005 I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL. WITHIN A FEW DAYS THE DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW (IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER POWER WINDOWS) OFTEN TIMES DID NOT CLOSE WHEN I TRIED TO CLOSE IT. THE WORST TIMES ARE WHEN IT RAINS OR THE TEMPERATURE IS COLD. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THE WINDOW REPAIRED. THEY ATTEMPTED THE REPAIRS BUT WERE UNABLE TO FIX THE POWER WINDOW. I TRIED MANY JIFFY LUBE AND LIQUID WRENCH TO LUBRICATE THE WINDOW PER THE DEALER'S RECOMMENDATION BUT THE RESULT HAS BEEN ONLY TEMPORARY AND THE WINDOW CONTINUES TO STAY DOWN WHEN IT SHOULD BE CLOSING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY ODYSSEY'S MOTOR MOUNT FAILED LAST YEAR BEFORE I HIT 100,000. I WAS RECENTLY TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE OTHER THREE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
INCIDENT DATE: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2012 APPROXIMATELY 1PM TEMPERATURE: APPROXIMATELY 55 DEGREES ROAD CONDITION: DRY TIRES: GOODYEAR ASSURANCE FUEL MAX INSTALLED: SEPTEMBER 23, 2009 MILES ON TIRES AT TIME OF INCIDENT: 49,051 ESTIMATED TREAD LIFE LEFT: 4/32 NUMBER OF PERSONS IN VEHICLE: 2 ADULTS, 3 CHILDREN WHILE ON A LOCAL SHOPPING TRIP INCLUDING TRAVEL ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE RIGHT REAR TIRE OF THE VEHICLE BLEW OUT. WE HAD ENTERED THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AND HAD TRAVELED ABOUT 5 MILES. WHILE PASSING A SEMI AND IN THE LEFT LANE OF THE HIGHWAY, AT 70 MPH, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE AND THE TIRE WAS SLAPPING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE FENDER. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WAS MAINTAINED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWED DOWN AND MOVED TO THE CENTER MEDIAN. WHEN TRAFFIC CLEARED, THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED SAFELY TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT REAR TIRE REVEALED A TOTAL BLOW OUT. THE OTHER MEMBERS EXITED THE VEHICLE AND REMAINED IN THE GRASS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE THE TIRE WAS CHANGED. WHEN THE TIRE WAS CHANGED WE CONTINUED TO THE NEXT EXIT AND USED BACK ROADS TO RETURN HOME. NEW TIRES WERE PURCHASED ON TUESDAY, OCT 23, 2012. THE TIRE SPECIALIST INDICATED THAT THE PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE BLOW OUT WAS HITTING A POT HOLE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY FRONT ENGINE MOTOR MOUNT HAS GONE BAD. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT REPLACED HOWEVER THEY ARE CHARGING MY $800.00 FOR IT. AFTER READING THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT HONDA 2005'S AND ABOVE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THEM BREAKING MORE OFTEN THEN WHAT THEY SHOULD BE SINCE THE ACTUAL UNIT IS TUCKED UP RIGHT NEAR THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THE RUBBER WEARS OUT QUICKLY. I HAVE NEVER EVER EXPERIENCED A CAR WHERE YOU HAD TO REPLACE THE MOUNT UNDER 100K MILES. *TR

ENGINE
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! *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
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. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FAILED TO DISENGAGE THE LOCK. HAD TO TAKE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REMOVED THE DOOR PANEL AND REPLACED THE LATCH. SINCE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN THEY HAD TO DO THIS FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ON 9/1/2012 THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR ALSO FAILED TO DISENGAGE THE LOCK. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS REPAIRED YET. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES WE WERE PARKED, BUT IF IT HAD BEEN AN EMERGENCY VALUABLE TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN WASTED IN TRYING TO GET A NON-FUNCTIONING DOOR TO OPEN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BOUGHT VEHICLE USED & NOTICED A SOFT PEDAL FROM THE GO! SAW WHERE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REBUILT & FRONT PADS PUT ON BEFORE MY PURCHASE. TOOK TO HONDA TO GET SERVICED ON 7/18/2012 AT 118,647 MILES & TOLD THEM IT STILL FELT A LITTLE SOFT WITH THE PEDAL GOING LOWER THAN NORMAL. THEY CHECKED IT OUT IN SERVICE & PUT NEW ROTORS & PADS ON THE REAR. WE TOOK IT ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA & THE BRAKES FELT GOOD. SEEMS BETTER NOW HOWEVER IT'S BEGINNING TO FEEL A LITTLE SOFT AGAIN BUT APPEARS TO BE BRAKING OK. I TOLD [XXX] IN SERVICE AT HONDA & I TOLD HIM I WILL KEEP AN EYE ON IT TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THE ONCOMING MILES. HE SAID OK. THANKS! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SHUDDER AT 50 MPH. IT LOOKS LIKE IT SHUTTERS UNTIL YOU HIT THE GAS OR LET OFF. IF YOU ARE COASTING ON FLAT GROUND, STEADY AT THE SAME SPEED, IT WILL DO IT UNTIL YOU LET OFF THE GAS OR HIT THE GAS HARDER. *TR

ENGINE
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. *TR

BRAND NEW REPLACED BATTERY AND ELECTRICAL START ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN.

THIS IS WHAT CAUSED US TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AFTER DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE. IT WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT PROBLEM IS BACK. DEALER CAN'T REPLICATE ISSUE SINCE OF COURSE IT STARTS FINE. BUT THERE IS SOME INHERENT ISSUE WITH ODYSSEY ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. *TR
