“Had to replace a front motor mount in my 2005 Honda Odyssey. My mechanic indicated that he contacted a Honda dealer and they were out of the part because there were several Odyssey's with the same problem. I didn't know how many complaints needed to be launched before a recall notice would be considered. I wanted my vehicle noted since I did not go to a Honda dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #10379450, filed 2011-01, 94,896 miles“I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey, only 4 years old and the dealer is telling me I need 3 engine mounts replaced, that they are a wear and tear item, doesn't sound right. I also need 2 compliance arm bushings and a radiator which was punctured needs to be replaced. I would like to know how engine mounts needs to be replaced within 4 years; there has got to be something wrong.”
NHTSA complaint #10293386, filed 2009-11, 61,000 miles“We were driving along 101 in the afternoon, turned on the AC, it started to blow out hot air, really hot air. Have a mechanic checked on it, we were told that the condenser broke, A/C defects. Found lots of Honda owners have the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10561666, filed 2014-01, 72,000 miles“I was driving my 2005 Honda Odyssey and noticed that the car was leaking antifreeze. I took it to the dealer and they said that a rock hit the radiator and that they would need to put a new one in. It was not covered under warranty because it was caused by a rock. The dealer said that they see a lot of these cases and it should be recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #10195037, filed 2007-06, 16,500 miles“Acceleration to 65-68mph up to approximately 73-75mph the van's front wheels enter a mild to fairly strong, alarming, shimmy felt distinctly and synchronized through the steering wheel. We had just recently purchased this van 2 months prior and ironically had 2 brand new yokohama tires on the front rims. We took a trip from midwest to up and along the eastern seaboard. Symptoms initially reasonable got stronger but appeared at the slower end of the range mentioned above. …”
