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 THE PROBLEM PRECISELY.

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?

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, FOR THE MOST PART BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE MANY ISSUES , SOME RECALLED. IT'S FRUSTRATING AND COSTLY.

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 FROM YEAR 2005 -2007 AT ALL DIFFERENT LEVELS OF MILEAGE. THE COST OF REPAIR THROUGH HONDA IS OVER $1800. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A RUN ON MOTOR MOUNTS AS I HAVE WHEN TRYING TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE WHICH MAKES ME THING THERE IS A ENGINEERING/DESIGN FLAW. LEFT UN-REPAIRED AND HONDA TOLD ME THAT THE VIBRATION CAN CAUSE MANY OTHER ISSUES RENDERING THE VAN UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND APPROACHING SPEEDS BETWEEN 45MPH TO 65MPH THE ENTIRE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, AS IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO FALL APART. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER AND I WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE FAILING.

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 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON HERE, AND THERE PROBABLY SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

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 ATTACHED TO THE WINDSHIELD JUST BELOW THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AN ENGINE MOUNT HAS FAILED ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY. I PAID $1,706.13 TO REPLACE A FAILED ENGINE MOUNT ON AUGUST 6, 2014.

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 HAD 80K MILRES ON IT. TOTAL COST WAS OVER $1,200. OW, AT 170K MILES IT IS DOING THE SAME THING! BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY'RE TELLING ME MY MOTOR MOUNTS ARE CRACKED, AGAIN! I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THE NHTSA HAS NOT MADE THIS A RECALL.
