    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…

    Our van has two broken motor mounts. Most of our car's mileage is highway and easy driving. There seems to be no good reason for why they are broken. Judging from the experience of others on-line, it would appear that the design is poor and the cost to repair them (replace) is extremely high. Not sure if this falls within your area of review or not. *tr

    Our car started having a louder engine/transmission noise during acceleration and going uphill. When the dealer checked it out they said that the rear engine mount would need to be replaced (at a cost of $800 plus). After doing some research on this, i believe that this is a design flaw with the honda odyssey that occurs because of the variable cylinder engine, which cuts out 2 cylinders when they are not needed and…

    Failure of exhaust system heat shields could cause vehicle fire. Consumer has no way of knowing that the safety shields are no longer in place.

I feel the heat shields should have been manufactured using stainless steel to prevent…
