2006 Honda Odyssey Engine

ON 10/10/2014 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THROUGH AN INTERSECTION GOING 45 MPH THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WE NARROWLY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT WHILE COASTING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN AND WE PUSHED THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOST SPACE. WHILE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO JUMP THE CAR THE VEHICLE START AGAIN. AGAIN ON 10/11/2014 WHILE TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT START AGAIN. THIS AGAIN ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. AT THIS TIME WE CONSIDER THIS VEHICLE NO SAFE TO OPERATE IF THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS STORIES LIKE THIS HAPPENING WITH HONDAY ODYSSEYS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

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. *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 THE NHTSA? *TR

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

ENGINE STARTED CHUGGING AND LOST POWER, SPUTTERING. THEN DIED AND COULDN'T RESTART. WAS TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSIS. TOWED TO CLOSEST HONDA DEALER, 3 HOURS AWAY. #5 COIL DAMAGED DUE TO SPARK PLUG BLOWN OUT OF CYLINDER HEAD, THREADS DAMAGED IN CYLINDER HEAD. ALSO VSA WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND FAULTY VTEC CONTROL VALVE WAS DISCOVERED. VAN SAT AT DEALER FOR 4 WEEKS WHILE WAITING ON BACK ORDERED VTEC CONTROL VALVE PART. COST OF PARTS, MECHANIC, ETC. $1496.57 NOT TO MENTION THE TOWING. NOW.... VAN BEING DRIVEN LAST WEEK, VSA LIGHT CAME ON, STEERING WHEEL SEIZED UP AND A TERRIBLE NOISE OCCURRED IN ENGINE. WE ARE AGAIN TOWING IT 3 HOURS TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. WILL POST THE 'NEW' DIAGNOSIS. VAN HAS 53,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

WE PURCHASED HONDA ODYSSEY NEW IN 2006. I NOTICED STEERING ISSUES ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND REPORTED IT DURING ROUTINE SERVICE. EVEN AFTER RECALL, ISSUE CONTINUES. NOTICED A FLUID LEAK & MENTIONED IT DURING SERVICE- WAS TOLD THERE WAS A BROKEN SEAL THAT WAS CAUSING VAN TO LEAK TRANSMISSION FLUID & "FIXED" FOR $1500. AFTER THIS FLUID CONTINUED TO LEAK, MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE VAN BACK. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 2 DAYS BEFORE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, LIGHTS ON DASH CAME ON AND VAN LOST POWER STEERING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH. ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT POWER STEERING. TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER AND TOLD THE BROKEN SEAL WAS ACTUALLY NOT THE PROBLEM FOR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK - I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. LOST STEERING DUE TO A BELT THAT HAD BROKEN DUE TO CONSTANT LEAKING FLUID ON IT. SO DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA. HUSBAND HAD MADE ME BRAND LOYAL NOW I'M ANTI-HONDA. SOUNDS LIKE MY ISSUES ARE VERY COMMON IN THIS MODEL. *TR

I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT MY FRONT ENGINE MOUNT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY VAN ONLY HAS 79,586 MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN THESES VANS. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO HONDA DEALER IT WAS BOUGHT FROM FOR ROUTINE SERVICE. DEALER REPORTED TO ME THAT 3 ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. ONE ENGINE MOUNT HAD PREVIOUSLY BROKEN AND BEEN REPAIRED BY THIS DEALER. I AM IN MY 70'S, RETIRED, AND DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY. HOW CAN 4 ENGINE MOUNTS BREAK? *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS SERVICED BY HONDA DEALER EVERY FEW MONTHS FOR OIL CHANGE AND OTHER SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. RIGHT AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST AUGUST 2013, SANTAN HONDA IN CHANDLER HAD TOLD ME THAT I HAD TWO CRACKED ENGINE MOUNTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER RACED NOR TOWED ANYTHING. IT WAS PURELY USED BY WIFE TO HAUL MY DOGS TO THE PARK AND GROCERY THE COST WAS CLOSE TO $900 INCLUDING PART, LABOR AND TAX. I HAVE AFRAID THE OTHER ENGINE MOUNTS WILL FAIL ANYTIME SOON. IT IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR ENGINE MOUNTS TO FAIL IMMATURELY AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. I HAVE SEEN MANY ODYSSEYS OWNER OF MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 HAD SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.PLEASE REFER TO ANOTHER COMPLIANT NUMBER 10425453. PLEASE INVESTIGATE IF IT QUALIFIES FOR A RECALL. *TR

I WAS TAKING CARE OF MY TIMING BELT CHANGE AT DEALER AND I MENTIONED MY VEHICLE VIBRATING A LOT LATELY AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY FOUND FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS BROKEN WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR FAMILY VAN WHICH HAS ONLY 71000 MILES AND DRIVEN VERY CAREFULLY.COST OF REPAIR IS ABOUT 2000 DOLLARS AND I SAW MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WHEN I SEARCHED ABOUT IT. *TR

REAR ENGINE MOUNT IS BROKEN. THERE ARE MANY OTHER SUCH COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. A LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS IS NOTED ON CARTALK.COM WEBSITE INCLUDING A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT, (10425453.) HONDA SHOULD OFFER A RECOURSE FOR ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS. *TR

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 ODYSSEYS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!!! HONDA IS AWARE OF IT BUT DOES NOTHING. *TR

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 SEALING WASHER TO SEAL THE DRAIN PLUG AGAINST THE PAN. FROM MY RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM IS THE FLIMSY THREADS AND THIN SHEET METAL CAN NOT TAKE THIS AMOUNT OF TORQUE AND WILL FAIL AFTER REPEATED OIL CHANGES. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED A HELICOIL AS A POSSIBLE PERMANENT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IF THAT DOES NOT WORK THAN ULTIMATELY I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHOLE OIL PAN WITH OE EQUIPMENT. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THAT IS HONDA HAS NOT CORRECTED THE FLAW, SO IN A FEW YEARS I WILL BE IN THE SAME POSITION OF HAVING STRIPPED OIL PAN THREADS. NO ONE WANTS TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND LOSE OIL PRESSURE BECAUSE THE TREADS OF THE OIL PAN HAS STRIPPED OVER TIME. AND CONSUMERS DO NOT WANT TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS EVERY FEW YEARS REPLACING AN OIL PAN BECAUSE OF HONDAS FLAWED DESIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JERK AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD TO ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO RESET INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE SPOOL VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WAS ON BACKORDER. THE FAILURE CONTINUOUSLY RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

MY ODYSSEY'S MOTOR MOUNT FAILED LAST YEAR BEFORE I HIT 100,000. I WAS RECENTLY TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE OTHER THREE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, AND HONDA SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLES FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

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 OUT QUICKLY. I HAVE NEVER EVER EXPERIENCED A CAR WHERE YOU HAD TO REPLACE THE MOUNT UNDER 100K MILES. *TR

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 THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IF LEFT UNATTENDED, I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH ANY HONDA MINIVAN'S AND WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. I STARTED READING ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET AND LOOKS LIKE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR ENGINE MOUNTS (BOTH FRONT & REAR) WITH ODYSSEY'S ESPECIALLY FROM 2005 - 2009. I WOULD IMAGINE HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THEY DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AND IT WENT NOWHERE AND I WAS TOLD SINCE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY (5 YEARS OR 60000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST) THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME WITH IT. I PAID 711$ TO FIX THE ISSUE, WHICH SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN THE CASE HAD HONDA TAKEN SOME RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHATS REALLY ANNOYING IS A BROKEN ENGINE PART WITH JUST 48000 MILES ON IT? I JUST HOPE THIS DOES NOT LEAD TO ANY LOSS OF LIFE. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AS A TOP PRIORITY ISSUE AND DO THE NEEDFUL TO ADDRESS IT. THANK YOU! *TR

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

MOTOR MOUNT WENT BAD AND CAUSING VIBRATIONS WHEN LOW DRIVING SPEEDS IN ECO. THE VIBRATIONS STARTED WHEN I HAD ABOUT 60K MILES AND THE VAN WAS 5 YEARS OLD. IT AFFECTS ACCELERATION BECAUSE I HAVE TO DECELERATE TO STOP THE VIBRATIONS. *TR

WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE 3 CRACKED ENGINE MOUNTS ON THE CAR. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS TYPICAL ON THE HONDA ODYSSEY. WE WERE ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE COST TO REPLACE IS ABOUT $1,000 EACH. THE CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND DRIVEN BY A SOCCER MOM. *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 I'M CONCERNED THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE ENGINE IS NOT SECURED PROPERLY. *TR

REAR MOTOR MOUNTS WENT BAD AND CAUSES VIBRATIONS WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 30-45MPH. *TR

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

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 THE ENGINE FALLING OUT OF THE VEHICLE, CLEARLY A DEFECT. HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION TO REPLACE THE FAULTY ENGINE MOUNTS AND CORRECT THIS DEFECT IN DESIGN IN FUTURE MODELS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE CRACKED AND TWO WERE BROKEN DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.
