The van is going backward when you put it in drive and when you press it does not go forward it just revs up the gas. The car was in motion driving when it went from driving to reving the gas and not going forward.

I stopped behind a car waiting to merge from a parking lot to highway 193. The car ahead pulled out a little. Then apparently changing his mind, he backed up into me. I had not pulled forward, but he still totaled my car. Surprisingly, my airbags did not inflate. The collision bent my hood, cracked the grill, broke the bumper.

On 8/25/2016 i took my 2004 odyssey to anderson honda at palo alto for normal oil change. After the work was done they showed me that the oil drain plug would not torque down to specs (just spins). The oil was leaking from the oil pan. Anderson honda's service advisor denied that they over-torqued the plug. The mileage was only 67637, the plug had been taken off and put on for only about a dozen times and it's the…

I purchased a honda odyssey from a local honda dealer march 2012 with 122,000 miles on it and what i was told was a brand new transmission. November 2014 i drove the car to my grandmothers house 5 hours away for thanksgiving and the day after the return trip the car began slipping gears. Honda wants $5,100 to fix it. The transmission that is in it now if they indeed put a new one in it is only 2 1/2 years old and…

Driving 2004 odyssey (140k miles) down i-95 in richmond (from nova) and started losing power (dropping speed with increasing rpms). Bad smell and smoke out the back led me to believe it was my catalytic converter. Check engine light never came on. Found a shop that replaced the cc. While replacing they noticed lots of oil under my vehicle. Turns out it was transmission fluid. The shop topped off the transmission…

Check engine light and tcs light came on while driving the van at highway speeds. The transmission shifts smoothly and sounds fine, but the repair shop pulled a code of p0740--tc clutch failure. The transmission is failing, and this is apparently a common problem with honda odysseys. While our transmission lasted longer than many odysseys' do, i think that transmission failure at 119k is unacceptable. *tr

I turned the ignition "off" and called my husband thinking i might need aaa to come tow the car. After the van sat for a few…

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

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…

I took the van to the dealership for and oil change and its 60,000 mile check up. I was told two of the engine mounts are cracked and/or broken. About $900 to replace both of them. Upon looking on the internet, it seems this is a very common problem for honda odysseys at about that mileage around that year. With so many with the problem, there should be a recall. *tr

Received news from a local honda dealership that all 4 engine mounts were broken for a cost of $925. When looking for parts happen to see the amount of chatter regarding engine mounts on several model years of the odyssey. Lesson learned... Perhaps check this site before buying any vehicle. Seems honda should cover some of the cost at least. *js
