POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
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. *TR

STEERING
THE POWER STEERING PUMP IN OUR ODYSSEY STARTED MAKING A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE, AND AT SOME LATER TIME, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE STEERING PUMP NOISE WAS INTERMITTENT, AND OCCURRED AT LOW AND IDLE SPEEDS ONLY. THERE WAS NEVER A LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY, BUT THE SHIMMY IN THE STEERING WHEEL LEADS TO DRIVER DISCOMFORT AND DRIVER FATIGUE. HONDA HAS SINCE REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP AT A REDUCED COST TO US, BUT THE NEW PUMP HAS NOT SOLVED THE STEERING WHEEL SHIMMY. THE SHIMMY IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE EFFECTS OF A BENT WHEEL OR A OUT OF BALANCE TIRE, BUT DIFFERENT WHEELS AND DIFFERENT TIRES, IN ADDITION TO MULTIPLE TIRE RE-BALANCES HAVE FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE STEERING SHIMMY OCCURS ONLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 62 MPH, AND SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER ABOUT 70 - 100 MILES OF DRIVING. WITHIN THIS DRIVING SCENARIO, THE SHIMMY CAN GET VERY BAD, AND THEN AT TIMES COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. BUT FOR MOST OF THE TIME, THE SHIMMY IS PRESENT. AT SPEEDS BELOW 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEHAVES VERY WELL. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS PROBLEM IS UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE, OR IF OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. IF IT IS GENERIC TO THE VEHICLE DESIGN, THEN HONDA NEEDS TO PROVIDE ODYSSEY OWNERS WITH AN ECONOMICAL SOLUTION. SHOULD THE PROBLEM PERSIST, I WILL HAVE NOT CHOICE BUT TO SELL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE, ASIDE FORM THE POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES, IT DOES NOT PROVIDE THE DRIVING COMFORT THAT WE NEED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, WHEN THE BATTERY DASHBOARD INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WITHIN 20 MINUTES THE VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BEGAN TO DIE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY. REPLACING THE BATTERY DID NOT ELIMINATE THE BATTERY INDICATOR AND THE VEHICLE DIED AGAIN ON MY WAY HOME AGAIN DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED A SERVICE STATION WHERE THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE BOTH TESTED AND FOUND TO WORK PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PARASITIC DRAIN. IT DOES NOT SEEM REASONABLE FOR A VEHICLE WITH A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING ALTERNATOR TO LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND DIE WITH IN OPERATION AND INDICATES A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
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. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
EXPERIENCING VIBRATION IN VEHICLE DURING ACCELERATION BETWEEN 40-60 MPH. TOOK THE VAN TO MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT TWO MOTORS MOUNTS ARE BAD AND NEED REPLACING. THESE ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR ITEMS AND SHOULD NOT NEED REPLACING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY VANS AND THIS PROBLEM IS NOT BEING COVERED BY WARRANTY SINCE THE FAILURE OCCURS AROUND 100K TO 150K MILES. *TR

ENGINE
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. *TR

STEERING
HI, OUR 2006 ODYSSEY HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER AT LOW SPEEDS SINCE NEW. IT ALSO MAKES A LOUD WHINE WHEN WHEEL TURNED TO SIDE AT LOW SPEEDS. WE HEARD THAT A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN WAS DONE FOR KNOWN POWER STEERING ISSUES, BUT WHEN TOOK TO DEALER WERE TOLD THAT OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED, AND THEY SAID IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT WOULD COST HUNDREDS $$ JUST TO DIAGNOSE, AND POSSIBLY THOUSANDS TO REPAIR... PLEASE HELP! WHICH VIN ARE COVERED? ARE THEY CORRECT OR SIMPLY EXTORTING US? THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
APPEARS THAT THERE IS AN O RING ISSUE ON THIS YEAR HONDA ODYSSEY. AIR IS GETTING IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP/LINES CAUSING A WHINING DURING TURNS AND ACCELERATION. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT WARRANTS A "TSB" TO THE MECHANICS AND SERVICE INDUSTRY, HOWEVER, HONDA HAS YET TO ANNOUNCE A RECALL OR OFFER ASSISTANCE IN THE MATTER. THIS IS OUR SECOND HONDA...WE DROVE AN ACCORD TO 246K MILES AND ARE BIG HONDA FANS. HATE THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND NO RECALL. *TR

ENGINE
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. *TR
