ENGINE, STRUCTURE:BODY
HAVE OWNED THIS ODDYSEY SINCE 2008 AND THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME HAD AROUND 40,000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ENGINE MOUNT. LAS WEEK I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR 90K SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH THE FRONT RIGHT AND FRONT MIDDLE MOUNT AGAIN!!!. SO THESE MOUNTS LAST 40 TO 50K MILES AT MAX, OUTRAGEOUS FOR A BRAND LIKE HONDA. I WILL COST ME NOW 800$ TO REPLACE THESE 2. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHEN PARKED I TRIED TO START IT AND IT DID NOT START. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED BY PARTICLES IN IT OR OVER HEATING. NEEDS A REPLACEMENT AT $4400. HONDA WAS CONTACTED BUT THEY OFFERED NO HELP. MY VIN IS JUST SLIGHTLY OUTSIDE THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT GROUP 5FNRL18..4B000001 TO 5FRNL18..4B051620 (HONDA RECALL SERVICE BULLETIN 04-021). "D" LIGHT EITHER FLASHING OR OFF...EVEN AFTER TRANS FLUSH. SAME SYMPTOMS AS RECALLED HONDAS. I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LARGER GROUP...IE INCLUDING MY VAN AND MAYBE IT WOULD STILL BE WORKING TODAY IF IT WAS RECALLED! *TR

ENGINE
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE TWO MOTOR MOUNTS (FRONT AND SIDE/RIGHT) WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE (OR PRETEND TO BE NOT AWARE OF IT). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95000. IT SEEMS THAT THE ENGINE MOUNT ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. AFTER SCROLLING THRU THE PAGES OF COMPLAINTS I NOTICED THERE WAS A COMPLAINT ON EVERY PAGE. THIS LOOK TO BE EITHER A CASH COW FOR LOCAL DEALERS OR A HONDA DEFECT. CAN NHTSA PROTECT US? PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO HELP US. IF YOU CAN'T HELP WOULD WE BE BETTER OFF CALLING A CONGRESSMAN? *TR

SEATS
DRIVER'S SIDE (LEFT) SEAT TRACK ASSEMBLE BROKEN. SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS. A SEARCH OF FORUMS REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HONDA TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR POOR ENGINEERING. TSB 02-059 PER HONDA. *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE INTERNAL BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT COME ON INDICATING THAT WAS ANY BACK BRAKE LIGHTS, THEN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STOP GOING FORWARD LIGHT THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN THE TCS INDICATOR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THEN THE 2004 ODYSSEY STOPPED MOVING WITHOUT ANY INDICATION AT ALL AS I WAS DRIVING IN HIGH TRAFFIC ON A CALIFORNIA FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30AM ON MY WAY TO WORK. I AM TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE MODELS AND THAT I WOULD COST ME OVER $3,200.00 OUT OF PICKET TO FIX AND THEN, (I WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO HONDA FOR RECALL REPAIRS, BECAUSE IT IS STILL UNDER THE RECALL STATIC AND HONDA HAS NEVER FIXED THIS PROBLEM. AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER I WASN'T TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE ODYSSEY'S AND THERE WASN'T ANY DEFEATS REPORTED ON THE VEHICLE FIX SHEETS. *TR

AIR BAGS
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM THE HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION ABOUT THE RECALL ON AIRBAGS FOR 2004 ODYSSEYS, AND I CONTACTED THE JEFFREY HONDA DEALER, IN ROSEVILLE, MICHIGAN. A CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF THIS, BUT IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A MONTH AND NO ONE HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME. ARE THE AIRBAGS OKAY, OR DO WE STILL NEED TO GET THEM FIXED? IF WE DO HAVE TO GET THEM FIXED, WHEN WILL THE HONDA DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THIS? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE BACK SEAT BELT GOT TWISTED AROUND MY 14 YEAR OLD'S WAIST AND WOULD NOT LOOSEN. SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO GET OUT AND COULD NOT BREATHE, AS THE SEAT BELT WOULD ONLY TIGHTEN EVERY TIME SHE TRIED TO SQUEEZE OUT. WE MADE AN EMERGENCY STOP AT A GAS STATION AND HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT OFF OF HER. THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT WITH THE SAME VAN BUT THE OTHER SEATBELT. MY 10 YEAR-OLD ALSO GOT STUCK ONCE BEFORE BUT SINCE HE WAS SMALLER, I WAS ABLE TO HELP HIM TWIST AROUND AND SQUEEZE OUT. *TR

AIR BAGS
I RECENTLY RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A MODULE IN THE AIRBAG SYSTEM CAUSING IT TO DEPLOY ON ITS OWN. THE ADDITIONAL PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING IS THE " SRS " LIGHT IS ON WHICH AS I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA MECHANIC THAT IT MEANS THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED . THEY ALSO REFUSED TO FIX THE LIGHT BEING ON BECAUSE THEY SAID THE 2 PROBLEMS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME MORE OF A SAFTY HAZZARD THAT THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT INFLATE WHEN YOU WOULD NEED IT AS APPOSED TO GOING OFF BY ITSELF. THEY ARE MAKING ME BRING IT BACK ANOTHER DAY SO THEY CAN CHARGE $115.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE PLUS OTHER PARTS WHAT IS NEEDED. *TR

ENGINE, SUSPENSION
I DID NOT KNOW THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS AN ISSUE ON HONDA ODYSSEY BUT I ALREADY REPLACE ONE SO FAR ON MY VAN AFTER A MONTH I TOOK MY VAN FOR A IGNITION RECALL AND OVERALL THE VAN DID NOT ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL AFTER GETTING IT BACK FROM THE DEALER BUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE ENGINE KEEP SHUTTING DOWN IN A LOW IDLE, NO ACCIDENTS SO FAR ONLY MAD PEOPLE BEHIND ME WHEN MY VAN STALLS. CAN YOU (NHTSA) INVESTIGATE OR LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS A HONDA ISSUE OR MY, ONE OTHER PROBLEM IS SUSPENSION IS TO NOISY FEELS LIKE LEAVING WHEELS BEHIND I HOPE YOU TAKE MATTER ON ALL COMPLAINTS BEFORE SOMEONE GET HURT. *TR
