STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
THE POWER LIFT GATE FELL DOWN ON ME; LUCKILY NO ONE WAS DIRECTLY UNDER IT WHEN IT FELL. IT HAPPENED INSTANTLY; WHEN I OPENED IT UP, IT CRASHED DOWN THE FIRST TIME. UPON FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO OPEN IT, IT WOULD SLOWLY OPEN AND THEN JERK AND THEN GO BACK DOWN. IT WILL NOT STAY OPEN BY ITSELF. THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE CENTER INSPECTED IT AND SAID THE STRUTS HAD GONE OUT ON IT AND REPLACED THEM BOTH. ACCORDING TO NEWS FEB 21, 2012, HONDA ODYSSEYS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN MARCH 2012; MY 2006 MODEL HAS DONE THE SAME THING THE NEWS ARTICLES REPORT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
DURING ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION, THE STEERING AND TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. WHEN THIS CONDITION HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND CAN EASILY BECOME UNSAFE. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE CAN SHUDDER AND EASILY SHIFT TO ONE SIDE. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST YEAR. IT IS NOW HAPPENING REPEATEDLY AND WITH INCREASING SEVERITY. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES AND CHECKED ALIGNMENT. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED BRAKES AND TURNED ROTORS. THE DEALER INDICATED TODAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION. *KB

STRUCTURE
IN THE SUMMER OF 2009, MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY DEVELOPED A STRONG, FOUL ODOR FOR WHICH NO SOURCE COULD BE FOUND. I VACUUMED THE CARPET, LEFT CONTAINERS OF BAKING SODA INSIDE, AND EVEN THREW AWAY THE RUBBER FLOOR MATS, THINKING THEY HAD DETERIORATED IN THE SUMMER HEAT. THE ODOR DID NOT GO AWAY. (THE CAR HAD BEEN GARAGE-KEPT UNTIL AROUND THAT TIME.) IN 2010, WHEN TAKING THE CAR FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM. HE WANTED TO REPLACE THE CABIN AIR FILTER, WHICH I HAD ALREADY DONE MYSELF. IN SEPTEMBER, 2011, AFTER HURRICANE IRENE, THE TAILGATE HATCH WOULD SLOSH AND SPILL WATER WHEN OPENED. THIS PAST WEEK, I WENT TO DRIVE THE CAR ON AN EXTENDED TRIP. WHEN I WENT TO LIFT THE REAR SEATS, WHICH HAD BEEN FOLDED INTO THE CARGO AREA, TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE SEATS WERE COVERED IN MOLD AND RUST AND WERE DRIPPING WITH WATER. THE CARGO AREA CARPETING WAS SATURATED. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST NOVEMBER, 2010. BESIDES THE HEATH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPOSURE TO INHALING MOLD, THE RUST MAY HAVE COMPROMISED THE INTEGRITY OF THE HARDWARE SECURING THE SEATS TO THE FLOOR, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE LEATHER OF THE SEATS. *TR

THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
MY 5 YEAR OLD HONDA ODYSSEY WITH ONLY 68475 MILES HAS O FAULTY FRONT ENGINE MOUNT. AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A PREDOMINANT PROBLEM WITH 05-2009 YEAR ODYSSEYS. IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND WOULD BE NICE IF HONDA ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

STEERING
MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. IT HAS AN INCONSISTENT BUZZ, WHINE, HUM THAT CAN BE HEARD PREDOMINANTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. AT TIMES, THE STEERING BECOMES TIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETINS: TSB 2007 FOR THE STEERING RESERVOIR, AND TSB 2010 FOR THE STEERING PUMP. I WILL BE CALLING THE LOCAL DEALER WITH HOPES OF CORRECTING A POOR DESIGN BY HONDA. *TR
