Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC (Delphi) is recalling certain replacement fuel pump modules, part number FG1155-11B1, sold for use in 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The affected fuel pump may send an incorrect fuel reading to the fuel gauge possibly causing the vehicle to run out of fuel. The fuel gauge will always read 3/4 full to full regardless of the actual level.
A vehicle that runs out of fuel and stalls has an increased risk of a crash.
Delphi has begun notifying dealers and distributors, and will replace the fuel pump modules, free of charge. Owners may contact Delphi customer service at 1-877-411-8770. Delphi's number for this recall is GL14-004.

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured June 23, 2004, through September 4, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the fuel pump strainer cover may deteriorate allowing fuel to leak out.
A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.
Parts to permanently repair the affected vehicles are not currently available. Honda will notify owners with an interim letter during May 2014. A second notice was mailed to owners October 6, 2014 when the remedy became available. Any vehicles that are currently leaking from the fuel pump cover will get a replacement, original cover. All vehicles, including those receiving the interim repair, will get an improved cover when they are available. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. The recall numbers associated with this campaign are JD9 (inspection and/or preliminary part replacement) and JE0 (final parts replacement).

HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ODYSSEY AND ACURA RL VEHICLES. BRAKE FLUID CONTAINING POLYMERS IS USED THAT ACTS AS A LUBRICANT FOR CERTAIN BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IF REPLACEMENT BRAKE FLUID IS USED THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN SUCH POLYMERS, OR THAT CONTAINS ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS, A PART OF THE RUBBER SEAL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY BECOME DRY, AND THE SEAL MAY CURL DURING MOVEMENT OF THE PISTON. IF THIS OCCURS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID COULD SLOWLY LEAK FROM THE SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND OVERTIME A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

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

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

THE VAN VIBRATES HORRIBLY DUE TO A FAULTY REAR MOTOR MOUNT. IT IS CLEARLY A DEFAULT IN MANUFACTURING. I WAS ALSO REFERRED TO MENTION COMPLAINT# 10425453. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES SEIZED AND THE CONTACT MOMENTARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WIRING OF THE AIR BAGS WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED AND AS A RESULT, THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE VALVES, REAR BRAKES AND THE REAR ENGINE MOUNT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE CURRENT VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 113,000 MILES.

I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT MY FRONT ENGINE MOUNT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY VAN ONLY HAS 79,586 MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN THESES VANS. *TR
Engine, Jan 17, 2014
TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER IT WAS BOUGHT FROM FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. DEALER REPORTED TO ME THAT 3 ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. ONE ENGINE MOUNT HAD PREVIOUSLY BROKEN AND BEEN REPAIRED BY THIS DEALER. I AM IN MY 70'S, RETIRED, AND DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY. HOW CAN 4 ENGINE MOUNTS BREAK? *TR
Power train, Engine, Jan 15, 2014
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

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, Dec 27, 2013
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

I WAS TAKING CARE OF MY TIMING BELT CHANGE AT DEALER AND I MENTIONED MY VEHICLE VIBRATING A LOT LATELY AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY FOUND FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS BROKEN WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR FAMILY VAN WHICH HAS ONLY 71000 MILES AND DRIVEN VERY CAREFULLY.COST OF REPAIR IS ABOUT 2000 DOLLARS AND I SAW MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WHEN I SEARCHED ABOUT IT. *TR
Engine, Dec 16, 2013
REAR ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKEN. THERE ARE MANY OTHER SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. A LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS IS NOTED ON CARTALK.COM WEBSITE INCLUDING A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, (10425453.) HONDA SHOULD OFFER A RECOURSE FOR ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS. *TR
Engine, Nov 13, 2013
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

DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. MY VAN SUDDENLY GAVE A LOUD EXPLOSIVE SOUND AND THE CABIN FILLED UP WITH SMOKE AND I COULD NOT BREATHE OR SEE PROPERLY. I WONDERED WHAT WAS GOING ON AND QUICKLY PULLED UP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO GET OUT OF THE VAN SINCE I AM DISABLED. MY HUSBAND HAD TO LITERALLY SPEAKING, CARRY ME OUT AND SAT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PASSERS BY HAD ALREADY CALLED 911 WHEN THEY NOTICED WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE POLICE, AMBULANCE AND FIRE DEPT CAME. THE FIRE DEPT DETERMINED THAT MY VAN WAS SMOKING HEAVILY AND THEY TOOK CARE OF THE FIRE IN MY ENGINE WHEN THEY OPENED THE HOOD. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THIS WILL THEN BE THE THIRD TRANSMISSION IN A VAN THAT IS LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD. I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN JULY 2011 AT 80,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED THEN WITH PROMISES FROM HONDA THAT I WAS GOOD FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS. SO WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED EXACTLY 2 YEARS TO THE TIME THAT THE SECOND TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A THIRD TRANSMISSION. THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT I ALWAYS SERVICED MY VAN WITH THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS NEVER BEEN SERVICED WITH THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. I AM STILL MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON MY VAN AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION? I WILL APPRECIATE AN INVESTIGATION ON WHY HONDA IS ALLOWED TO SELL LEMONS TO CONSUMERS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE ODYSSEY VANS. SMOKE AND FIRE DUE TO RECURRING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON THE SAME VAN IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I PRAY THAT NO ONE WILL BE KILLED OR INJURED DUE TO RECURRING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH HONDA ODYSSEY VANS. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN PROTECTING AND ENSURING CONSUMER SAFETY AS WE DRIVE OUR CARS. *TR

I AM THE OWNER OF A 06 HONDA ODYSSEY WHICH I BOUGHT WITH ALITTLE OVER 35000 MILES. I JUST TOOK VAN IN FOR SERVICE AND GOT THE BAD NEWS IT NEEDS MOTOR MOUNTS! HAD TO LAUGH TO MYSELF THINKING THE DEALER WAS FULL OF IT. NO WAY COULD A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES POSSIBLY NEED MOTOR MOUNTS! SO DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE ARE A TONS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THERE OBVIOUSLY IS A BAD DESIGN IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. OF COURSE WHEN YOU CALL HONDA THEY DENY THAT THE PROBLEM EVEN EXIST! SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD THE COMPANY ACCOUNTABLE! THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DANGER FOR OUR FAMILY'S SAKE! THE SAD TRUTH IS IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL FAMILIES BEFORE HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES IT WAS A BAD DESIGN! *TR
Engine, Apr 7, 2013
MY PROBLEM IS WITH MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL PAN THREADS WERE STRIPED. WE WERE INFORMED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA AND ACURA. FROM MY RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE 1984. THE PROBLEM WITH HONDA'S STEEL OIL PANS IS THE DRAIN PLUG THREADS ARE FREQUENTLY DAMAGED AND THE DRAIN PLUG SEALING AREA TENDS TO DISTORT. HONDA USES AN ALUMINUM SEALING WASHER TO SEAL THE DRAIN PLUG AGAINST THE PAN. FROM MY RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM IS THE FLIMSY THREADS AND THIN SHEET METAL CAN NOT TAKE THIS AMOUNT OF TORQUE AND WILL FAIL AFTER REPEATED OIL CHANGES. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED A HELICOIL AS A POSSIBLE PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IF THAT DOES NOT WORK THAN ULTIMATELY I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE OIL PAN WITH OE EQUIPMENT. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS HONDA HAS NOT CORRECTED THE FLAW, SO IN A FEW YEARS I WILL BE IN THE SAME POSITION OF HAVING STRIPPED OIL PAN THREADS. NO ONE WANTS TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND LOSE OIL PRESSURE BECAUSE THE TREADS OF THE OIL PAN HAS STRIPPED OVER TIME. AND CONSUMERS DO NOT WANT TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS EVERY FEW YEARS REPLACING AN OIL PAN BECAUSE OF HONDAS FLAWED DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD TO ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO RESET INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE SPOOL VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WAS ON BACKORDER. THE FAILURE CONTINUOUSLY RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.
Electrical system, Engine, Feb 28, 2013
MY CAR'S STARTER BROKE AND THE MECHANIC THEN TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS IN THE FRONT AND REAR WERE BROKEN AND NEEDED REPLACING. IN DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND NAGGING PROBLEM WITH ODYSSEY OWNERS. I HAVE OWNED 6 CARS AND NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING! THANKFULLY THE PROBLEM IS BEING FIXED BEFORE IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IS THERE A RECALL OR PLANNED RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED 2,000 MILES AGO. THANK YOU *TR

MY ODYSSEY LOST POWER/WOULDN'T ACCELERATE/WOULDN'T SHIFT AS WE APPROACHED THE TOP OF A 7% GRADE. WE PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED FLUIDS ETC.. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WE TRIED TO GET GOING AGAIN AND THE VAN WOULDN'T GO. WE SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND TRIED AGAIN, AND THE VAN GOT GOING AGAIN PERFECTLY FINE. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO HONDA WHEN IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. HONDA DIAGNOSED IT WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTER. THE ATF FLUID WAS BURNT (MY ODYSSEY HAS THE ATF FLUID COOLER TOO). THE TECH SAID THE VCM (ECO MODE, VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT) INCREASES THE LOAD/STRESS ON THE VEHICLE AND IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR OF THE BREAK DOWN. MY ODYSSEY HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AT HONDA Y HONDA SPECS/RECOMMENDATIONS. I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATION MY TRANS WAS GOING OUT (NO GEAR SLIPPING ANYTHING. IT DROVE FINE UP UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN) I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR, AND THEY FAILED TO EVEN OFFER ANY SORT OF HELP. FROM WHAT I'VE GOOGLED, HONDA ODYSSEYS HAVE COMMON TRANS/TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES AND AMERICAN HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS ON THE ODYSSEYS. AFTER THIS, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

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

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

HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT VIBRATION COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. PRIMARILY OCCURS AT ANY SPEED WHEN THE VCM OR ECO MODE ACTIVATES. NOT SURE WHAT OTHER ISSUES THIS MAY CAUSE BUT SEEMS UNSAFE. HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED ISSUE AS A BROKEN REAR ENGINE MOUNT. COST TO REPAIR IS $866. *TR

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

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

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
