There was excessive vibration of vehicle and we took it to honda dealership in raleigh, nc and were told the front and rear engine mounts have all collapsed. We have also been informed that this is a very common problem in odyssey's. This needs to be a safety recall. *tr

Broken engine mounts. I fixed the front one in nov 2014. The engine is now rattling while it is idling. I am now being told that the front engine mount needs replacing as well as the rear one. I have seen many honda chat boards and many others are experiencing this same problem and honda is not stepping up to help this systemic problem. Hoping this kicks them into gear. *tr

My 2006 honda odyssey went up in flame, while i was driving the vehicle, on 10/11/14. Insurance had me tow it to the honda dealer. After honda having the car for 31 days the insurance paid the repairs & i paid my $500.00 deductible. I'm ready to drive my honda odyssey away on 11/13/14, and i notice the van began to shake violently and the rpm's dropped to almost 0. No report was given to me about what was wrong with…

My van has never been in an accident yet the rear engine mount collapsed and made my engine shake back and forth causing a vibration during driving. They tell me this happened because of stop and go driving. I know many people who own these vans and all of them have had to have this faulty part replaced. It should be recalled. The repair cost over one thousand dollars and it took them less than 1 1/2 hours to fix.…

Loud clunking sound coming from under the drivers engine side - had car checked and mechanic replaced motor mounts, but still making same noise - almost sounds like engine will drop out at any moment. Also when traveling on highway at speeds of 55 or higher, van will shake uncontrollably and also randomly at low speeds when just starting from a complete stop. I do not feel safe with my children in the van under…

The car was leaking a brownish-orange liquid from the front middle of the engine area. Three of the five engine mounts were found to be broken and all needed to be repaired. I was told by the mechanic that this is a common problem with hondas that have a v6 engine. If this is such a wide-spread problem, why is it not fixed by honda? This really greatly increased the cost of overall honda ownership. *tr

The 4 motor mounts with the mileage of 54,365 have failed. There are countless complaints of this serious defect from honda and it is not being addressed. I went in for an oil change and was told my motor mounts need to be replaced! If i did not need an oil changed, would my engine fall to the ground. This failure should not be happening on a vehicle with 54,000 miles. Why is this not a safety recall initiated by…

After this fluid continued to leak, made an appointment to take van back. While driving on highway 2…

I noticed an oil leak on the vehicle. When taken to the mechanic he found that the spool valve is leaking. The honda dealer informed us that there are no replacement parts available. The oil is leaking on the exhaust manifold and is a very possible fire hazard. This is a family vehicle and this issue is a very serious one. *tr

Engine vibrating violently at speeds of 35-40 mph and when rpm are between 1,500 to 2,000. The possible causes are faulty engine mounts, transmission, or engine. Honda replaced the power steering due to problems. I also replaced the run flat tires with non run flat because the run flat last only 1 year. I want to vibration to be resolved. The vibration appears to be a manufacturer defect according to online honda…

Experiencing vibration in vehicle during acceleration between 40-60 mph. Took the van to mechanic and was informed that two motors mounts are bad and need replacing. These are not wear and tear items and should not need replacing. This appears to be a problem with honda odyssey vans and this problem is not being covered by warranty since the failure occurs around 100k to 150k miles. *tr
