Brought odyssey to dealer for recent recall. After recall repair, dealer service recommended front motor mount be replaced at a cost of over $400. I searched online and found several customers receiving similar recommendations, and one customer recommended informing nhtsa. Is this a problem with hondas? *tr

Took in our 2004 honda odyssey mini-van to fix open recalls. Dealer found a broken motor mount. I've never had such a thing happen to any vehicle and was surprised that it would fail at such low mileage. After researching online i come to find that this is a frequent problem for the honda odyssey. *tr

I took my car in on a recall for shift interlock, was told all my engine mounts were broken and it was going to cost me 1000.00. This should be a safety issue and should be a recall on this, the mileage on my 2004 honda odyssey is 101434. This is a safety issue and honda should pay for this cost. Honda is known for there reliability and dependability, should stand behind there vehicles. I had to call around to see…

Dear sir/madam, we own a 2004 honda odyssey ex and bought it new at a local dealership. We maintained the vehicle according to the specs by the manufacturer. Earlier today we brought it to a local auto shop to get a regular oil change and was notified that the engine mounts are broken down and since the mileage is still under 100k, it is uncommon to have that. The store owner also mentioned that he noticed a lot of…

Check engine light on; honda dealer talks about transmission issue and asking it to be replaced. Replacement cost: $6500 i heard that many other honda odyssey owners complaints about transmission problem and it has to be addressed that honda odyssey van is having critical transmission issue built between year 1999 to 2004. Transmission became defective with no reason, so much frustrated as vehicle has hardly done…

Two engine mounts are failing despite the relatively low mileage on the van. I've never owned a vehicle that suffered from such a potentially catastrophic failure with this many miles on it. *tr

Took the van to the local honda dealer for a routine brake fluid and brake rotor replacement. While working on that the mechanic noticed that the two front engine mounts were damaged. These are not listed by honda as the routine maintanance items. But failure of these would cause certain damage. Apparently it is a known issue with honday odysseys but honda has no recall for the failed part. *tr

Took our honda odyssey van in for service with the local honda dealer. Was told that we had broken motor mounts. Dealer service center said that this is a common problem for this year/make/model and was a real risk to our safety if we didn't get it fixed. If it is such a risk, why is there not a recall? From looking at the number of complaints on this site, there are so many is it to numerous to count them all. *tr

Had noticed recently that when switching gears the van "jumped" and at highway speeds seemed to vibrate/shake. Then the engine light came on. After much investigation, the diagnosis was the transmission needed to be replaced. When the transmission was being worked on it was also discovered that all of the mounts had to be replaced as well. The maintenance schedule had been followed completely so this was a complete…

During a routine oil change yesterday, my wife was informed that the front and side motor mounts were broken and needed replaced. This seemed odd since it had not been observed during previous visits and for the miles on the vehicle. After going on line, it appears there are many others having the exact same issue and that this is a quality issue with honda. I only hope that nothing serious happens to any owners of…

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 third page. This look to be either a cash cow for local dealers or a honda defect. I have had three replaced and currently have been told that i have 2 broken again. Can nhtsa protect us? Please do something to help us. If you can't help would we be…

One of the engine mounts broke back in 2005 and had four more broken over the years. I currently have 2 that are broken but will not replace them due to cost and it seems this is a defect due infact to the volume of times they have broken. Toyota has replaced them twice. *tr
