Excessive oil consumption with 3.5l vtec engine for which honda was found liable on 2008-2013 odyssey and a slew of other models. My 2005 is doing the same thing yet 2005-2007 cars are not included. Safety wise - when the oil pressure is low enough, the engine will lose nearly all power and cannot safely accelerate (barely maintain speed) yet, the engine oil warning light has never come on in the vehicle...

My honda odyssey is burning too much oil than it should. I am needing to add 1 quart every 2 weeks if that as it is already down 1 quart. It is regularly on time going in for oil changes and has been serviced since i've bought it in 2015. It has had many other issues and has been repaired. Now this is seemingly a problem. The oil percentage is not telling me that it is low or none at all. No oil dummy lights have…

Our 2005 honda odyssey vibrates, especially around 35-45 mph. Honda told us that the engine mounts have broken and that is what is causing it. They are not a cheap fix. Engine mounts, the last thing that you would think would go out on a vehicle! Yet, when you go online, this apparently seems to be a massive problem with these vans. Honda has a problem with their engine mounts braking and this seems to be ok with…

Dealer said 2 engine mounts bad. The front one, is over $500 just for the part. Two issues: how was it determined this part was bad and with such a significant price for one of them (there are two on this model), i take issue with the obviously flawed design. I am seriously considering legal action referencing both the above issues. My biggest concern is a fault design to drive service sales later in the life of the…

Car jiggers and vibrates when eco mode kicks in. Car also vibrates constantly. Multiple motor mounts have been deemed bad and needing replacement. Motor mounts should be able to handle the eco shift and last longer than this. *tr

My 2005 honda odyssey ex-l has only about 66,000 miles on it and a honda dealership said that one of the engine mounts has broken when i brought my car in for a honda's fuel pump safety recall service. I searched on the internet and found that there are thousands of honda's owners that are experiencing the same issue with honda vehicles manufactured between 2000 - 2012. The engine mounts on honda vehicles,…

Torque converter going in the transmission. I see that there are numerous complaints about this issue and that honda has been aware of this and has done a service bulletin but no recall. This has been going on for over a year.

After stopping, checked the engine for…

Brought the car to a honda dealership (tony honda, waipahu hi 96797) for recall (fuel pump) and routine maintenance and two broken motor mounts were discovered (right side and rear side). Was advised that repair of the two broken mounts would most likely lead to damage to the remaining mounts, which would then have to be replaced as well. *tr

Summer of 2014 my 2005 honda odyssey was losing power on the road to the point i had to be towed to my mechanic. Turned out i was low on oil with no leaks at all and not due for an oil change. This is very stressful on my engine. My van is only used for local travel, about 20 miles per day and i have been needing to add oil about once per month, still with no leaks. I understand there is a class action suit for…
