Dealer states front engine mount needs to be replaced after only 74,000 miles. "motor mount - front: worn out" is the exact statement. A simple web search yields numerous references to broken or worn out motor mounts on honda vehicles with 6 cylinder engines. At what point does the nhtsa take notice? When does honda take responsibility for this issue?

In motion the engine was making a loud rattle as if something was hitting the vehicle's fan. Turns out it is the camshaft position sensor. Because there is a tsb out my extended warranty company is refusing to cover this repair that runs over $3k.

Horrible vibration in eco mode due to vcm (3 cylinders shutting down) at all speeds. Noticed vibration when speed exceeds 50 mph. Honda dealer noted this is most likely due to eoo mode but vibration is too much to be normal. Vibration increases in intensity when accelerating above 50 mph. 5 service inspections and master technicians cannot diagnose problem(s)yet. Engine mount failure noted by other owners describe…

Engine mount failure: 3 motor mounts have failed . The car mechanic says he only changes motor mounts on odysseys and no other car has same issue with the mounts. I googled motor mount failure and it is quite a lot of complaint s and i'm wondering if the odyssey has so many issue with motor mounts why have they not been recalled. If not fixed there are catastrophic issues and possible loss of life. I like my car,…

The spark plug blew out of the cylinder head while driving on a major 8 lane highway at 65 mph. If i didn't react quickly & there was a car to the right of me, i very easily could've been in a dangerous accident. Unsure if there was any engine damage.

The fluid filled motor mounts that come on the exl/touring model have both failed and fluid leaked out. The concept behind these electronically controlled motor mounts is to dampen the vibration when the van goes into eco mode reducing the active cylinders from 6 to 3. When these mounts fail the van vibrates considerably in the eco mode. I googled the issues and see that their are many others with this same issue…

While stopped in traffic, engine began hard acceleration and front tires began screeching. This occurred 4x within 10 days. With each experience there was no warning. It was fortunate that foot was on brake pedal at that time.

When we were traveling out west, we started to notice a distinct "whine" in the engine compartment. After returning home and having driven thousands of miles, we took the car to the dealer and discovered that the rear motor mount had broken and was causing the fan to make a noise when the engine itself "heaved" upon accelerating. It cost $1100 for the repair. I am filing this complaint because there are several…

I was driving about 60 mph on a highway when my 2006 honda odyssey began shaking and vibrating. The shaking was so bad the rearview mirror became loose and eventually fell off the front window. If i would have had a coffee cup sitting in the beverage holder the rearview mirror would have splashed hot coffee on my shorts and down my leg. This same situation would occur if i would have had a toll-road transponder…
