I am the owner of a 06 honda odyssey which i bought with alittle over 35000 miles. I just took van in for service and got the bad news it needs motor mounts! Had to laugh to myself thinking the dealer was full of it. No way could a vehicle with low miles possibly need motor mounts! So did some online research and found there are a tons of people having the same issue. There obviously is a bad design if so many…

My problem is with my 2006 honda odyssey. We took the car in for an oil change and was informed that the oil pan threads were striped. We were informed this was a common problem with honda and acura. From my research this has been a problem since 1984. The problem with honda's steel oil pans is the drain plug threads are frequently damaged and the drain plug sealing area tends to distort. Honda uses an aluminum…

My car's starter broke and the mechanic then told me that the engine mounts in the front and rear were broken and needed replacing. In doing an online search, i discovered that this is a common and nagging problem with odyssey owners. I have owned 6 cars and never heard of such a thing! Thankfully the problem is being fixed before it caused an accident. Is there a recall or planned recall for this problem? My…

My odyssey lost power/wouldn't accelerate/wouldn't shift as we approached the top of a 7% grade. We pulled over, shut the car off and checked fluids etc.. Everything was fine. We tried to get going again and the van wouldn't go. We sat for about an hour and tried again, and the van got going again perfectly fine. We were able to get to honda when it broke down again. Honda diagnosed it with a bad transmission/torque…

I am writing with regards to my 2006 honda odyssey. Took it to the dealer for a recall related issue with my brakes and while fixing it, they noticed that the vehicle had issues with rear engine mount. Dealer told me my rear engine mount is broken and that's why my vehicle vibrates and that will eventually lead to failure with power steering, a/c, engine, transmission...etc. Since the vehicle can come to a halt in…

Loud noise from engine compartment during a turn. Repair shop said the passenger side engine mount has nearly failed and the others will need to be replaced soon. It makes no sense for such a part to fail at 65k miles - this issue should be grounds for a recall. *tr

Front motor mount is torn and recommend replacing for $951.28 + tax; side motor mount is leaking and recommend replacing for $238.88 + tax. This van is used mainly for driving my kids to school and activities. No heavy towing nor hard driving. I was told that it's a common problem with honda odyssey, but at this time honda corporation has not addressed it. My van really makes noise and rattles when accelerating and…

On multiple occasions the car would jerk violently when decelerating from 20 to 10mph. In addition, when driving from 25 to 40mph the car would shake violently s if was going to explode. Needless to say this was very unnerving and i did not feel safe with my family in this car. I took it to the honda dealer and was told my rear and front motor mounts were cracked and needed to be replaced. At the time the car only…

I took my vehicle to the dealer for 90k mile maintenance and was told that the rear engine mount was broken, which was the reason the vehicle felt unstable. They said all other mounts were wearing severely and would have to be replaced as well. I have never had this problem with any other vehicle i have owned - regardless of mileage. After online research i realize this is an extremely common occurrence with honda…

I am the original owner of this 2006 honda odyssey. The rear and side engine mounts have failed, at 72,000 miles. This is a manufacturer's defect. The engine mounts should not fail at this mileage. I had noticed a rumbling noise at lower speeds when the engine was running in eco mode, and it appears that this noise was a result of the failure of the engine mounts. It is a defect that if not repaired would result in…

Engine of this vehicle always made jet engine like loud sound but with time engine roar is getting louder and louder at highway speed above 65 mph. It is now annoying loud. Dealer wants $140 for telling us if this noise for this vehicle is normal or our particular vehicle is the only louder one. *tr
