ENGINE
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. *TR

ENGINE
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. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING STILL DOES NOT WORK AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAD THE FIX DONE AT THE DEALER BACK WHEN HONDA OFFERED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND FIX THE PROBLEM FOR THOSE VEHICLES HAVING ISSUES (2012), BUT IT IS ALREADY DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. NOW HONDA WANTS ME TO PAY TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE AND NOISE OUT OF THE POWER STEERING IN THIS VEHICLE SINCE DAY 1 AND I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. HONDA POWER STEERING PUMPS MUST BE DEFECTIVE FOR THERE TO BE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH TROUBLE. *TR

HAVE HAD TWO HONDA ODYSSEYS (ONE NEW 2008 AND ONE USED 2006). BOTH HAD ISSUES WITH THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR AUTOMATED SLIDING DOORS. THE NEW VAN HAD THIS PROBLEM MUCH LESS THAN THE OLDER ONE, BUT BOTH HAVE HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM SOMETIMES COME AND GO SPORADICALLY AND SOMETIMES NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO THE SHOP TO BE FIXED. THE DOOR USUALLY SHUTS, BUT THEN POPS OPEN JUST ENOUGH THAT IT IS NOT FULLY CLOSED. SOMETIMES THEY WILL NOT LATCH AT ALL. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS JUST "OUR LUCK" BUT AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I REALIZED THAT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS WELL KNOWN ON THE WEB. IN OUR FAMILIES CASE, I CAN SAY THAT THE INCIDENCES WERE NOT RELATED TO ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO "BREAK" THE DOOR. I FEEL THAT IF INDEED THIS COULD BE LABELED AS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE THAT THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS A WIDESPREAD PERMANENT "FIX" FROM HONDA. *JS

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAN ON VACATION 500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. DRIVING THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AS NORMAL ON THE HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE STARTED OVER-REVVING AND THE VAN SLOWED DOWN. I PULLED OVER SAFELY. THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE IN DRIVE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS FINE. IT HAD TO BE TOWED 100 MILES TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE WE DISCOVERED THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT GREAT COST. *TR

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? *TR

WHEN WE TOOK DELIVERY OF OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY ON JANUARY 21, 2014 THE RIGHT HAND DOOR WAS NOT OPENING/CLOSING PROPERLY. THE SALES PERSONNEL SAID THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE WEATHER RELATED AND TO GIVE IT SOME TIME AND THAT IF IT CONTINUED TO NOT WORK PROPERLY THEN TO BRING THE VAN BACK AND THEY WOULD FIX IT. WE HAD JUST UNDERGONE AN ICE STORM HERE IN MICHIGAN, IN DECEMBER 2013, AND HAD UNUSUALLY COLD TEMPERATURES WHICH STAYED UNTIL EARLY MARCH. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AFTER THE WEATHER HAD WARMED A BIT AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE DOOR AND THEY SAID THAT THE VAN WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THAT THEY WOULD WORK ON IT AS A GOOD FAITH GESTURE. THE VAN WAS TAKEN IN AND THE CENTER ROLLER ASSEMBLY OF THE RIGHT SIDE SLIDING DOOR WAS REPLACED. THE DOOR WORKED PROPERLY FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN STARTED TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE SYMPTOMS THE DOOR WAS EXHIBITING WERE THAT OF A FAILED RELEASE ACTUATOR. I HAVE FOUND THROUGH RESEARCH THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE 3RD GENERATION HONDA ODYSSEY VANS AND WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER REGARDING THIS ISSUE THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNLESS I WAS WILLING TO PAY FOR IT. THEY HAD EVEN NOTED IT IN THE VAN'S SERVICE RECORD THAT THE RELEASE ACTUATOR MIGHT HAVE TO BE REPLACED BUT ELECTED NOT TO DO IT AT THE TIME THEY REPLACED THE CENTER ROLLER BECAUSE THE VAN'S DOOR TESTED OK. *JS

STEERING
WHILE THERE IS ALREADY A HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED CONCERNING PROBLEM (BULLETIN #: 11-039). THE RESPONSE BY HONDA IS NOT ADEQUATE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN AT LOW SPEEDS (SUCH AS TURNING INTO AND OUT OF PARKING SPOTS). ALTHOUGH THIS DEFECT WITH THE POWER STEERING PUMP ONLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS IT STILL A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FACT THAT IS VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL CAN REASONABLE LEAD TO PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT SUCH AS PEDESTRIAN BECOMING PINNED AGAINST A CAR. HONDA EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART TO 7 YEARS / 100,000 MILES. I HAVE UNDER 80,000 MILES ON MY CAR BUT HONDA CLAIMS I AM A FEW MONTHS BEYOND THE 7 YEAR DATE. HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FURTHER EXTEND THIS WARRANTY AS MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO AFFORD THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND IT COULD LEAVE TO INJURY TO PERSONS IN PARKING LOTS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I NOTICED AN OIL LEAK ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC HE FOUND THAT THE SPOOL VALVE IS LEAKING. THE HONDA DEALER INFORMED US THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. THE OIL IS LEAKING ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND IS A VERY POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE IS A VERY SERIOUS ONE. *TR

CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE POWER STEERING HOSE AND THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY FUEL PUMP COVER RECALL NOTICE AND STEERING FAILURE.. *SMD THE CONSUMER DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE SAME RECALL WASN'T ISSUED FOR HIS WIFE'S VEHICLE, SINCE THE POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE GPS NAVIGATION UNIT WA REPLACED, BECAUSE THE SCREEN WENT DEAD. *JB
