This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2004 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while at the dealer for routine maintenance, he was informed that the two motor mounts (front and side/right) would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure (or pretend to be not aware of it). The approximate failure mileage was 95000. It seems that the engine mount issue with the Honda Odyssey should be looked into. After scrolling thru the pages of complaints I noticed there was a complaint on every page. This look to be either a cash cow for local dealers or a Honda defect. Can NHTSA protect us" please do something to help us. If you can't help would we be better off calling a congressman"
The contact owns a 2004 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while at the dealer for routine maintenance, he was informed that the motor mounts would need to be replaced. The motor mounts failed again shortly after being replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
One of the engine mounts broke back in 2005 and had four more broken over the years. I currently have 2 that are broken but will not replace them due to cost and it seems this is a defect due infact to the volume of times they have broken. Toyota has replaced them twice.
It seems that the engine mount issue with the Honda Odyssey should be looked into. After scrolling thru the pages of complaints I noticed there was a complaint on every third page. This look to be either a cash cow for local dealers or a Honda defect. I have had three replaced and currently have been told that I have 2 broken again.

I took the van to the dealership for and oil change and its 60,000 mile check up. I was told two of the engine mounts are cracked and/or broken. About $900 to replace both of them. Upon looking on the internet, it seems this is a very common problem for Honda Odyssey at about that mileage around that year. With so many with the problem, there should be a recall.
I did not know the motor mount was an issue on Honda Odyssey but I already replace one so far on my van after a month I took my van for a ignition recall and overall the van did not any problems at all after getting it back from the dealer but after a few weeks the engine keep shutting down in a low idle, no accidents so far only mad people behind me when my van stalls. Can you (NHTSA) investigate or let me know if this is a Honda issue or my, one other problem is suspension is to noisy feels like leaving wheels behind I hope you take matter on all complaints before someone get hurt.
I started leasing Honda Odyssey 2004 from Honda dealership in April 2004 for 3 years, has not any problem with vehicle in that period (warranty period). I bought after lease and all problems started. 1): radio stopped working, Honda replaced "free" because I bought additional 2 year warranty with $100 deductible, 2): Back side window also stopped on open position, Honda fixed for $100 deductible, (past 4 years both side windows doesn't work), 3): (one of major problems for blue color Odyssey's this year), paint started peeling from hood, roof, under glass of both side sliding doors, around back both side windows and whole paint on tailgate, Honda covered only hood, roof and around back both side windows, when asked to paint rest of places they said don't have instruction about other spots from Honda (its was very funny, like: "doctor know better, are you dead or alive"), now Honda offers me for paint it with discounted price. 4) transmission fails, couldn't get any gear until resetting from hole top of steering will, changing trans oil didn't resolve this problem (this what mechanic told me) in Honda dealership 5) in 2011 on scheduled oil change mechanic told me to change all engine mounts and front shocks for $2500, hydraulic engine mount got leak and broke other mounts, I bought all engine mounts and front shocks for $700 and changed my self....now SRS electronic control unit....I guess its too many defects and problems for this car....btw I'm a first and only owner of this Odyssey and got only 96K miles on it....
We have a 2004 Honda Odyssey, bought it used in the summer of 2009 with 79,766 mile. Now at 91,160 mile, it's having major issues. On October 12, 2013, we drove the van to the store and back home just fine. On Monday, October 14th when we tried to drive the van again, it would not reverse or drive at all. The engines starts up just fine in parking and in neutral gear. As soon as the gear was shifted to D or R, the engines stalled. Plus the D drive light was flashing prior to the failure. Searching online I found that owners of 2004 Honda Odyssey was having the same issue with the transmission failing. On October 22, I called to Honda America to see if I can get some assistance for helping with the repair. I was given a case number. That same morning, I had our Odyssey van towed to a Honda dealer to be diagnosis of the problem. I have never drove a car that transmission would fail. If Honda doesn't assist me with the repair, this will be the last Honda I will ever buy!
Received news from a local Honda dealership that all 4 engine mounts were broken for a cost of $925. When looking for parts happen to see the amount of chatter regarding engine mounts on several model years of the Odyssey. Lesson learned... perhaps check this site before buying any vehicle. Seems Honda should cover some of the cost at least.
Check engine light on; Honda dealer talks about transmission issue and asking it to be replaced. Replacement cost: $6500 I heard that many other Honda Odyssey owners complaints about transmission problem and it has to be addressed that Honda Odyssey van is having critical transmission issue built between year 1999 to 2004. Transmission became defective with no reason, so much frustrated as vehicle has hardly done 100K miles.
Brought Odyssey to dealer for recent recall. After recall repair, dealer service recommended front motor mount be replaced at a cost of over $400. I searched online and found several customers receiving similar recommendations, and one customer recommended informing NHTSA. Is this a problem with Honda?
The contact owns a 2004 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated while the vehicle was being repaired by the dealer they stated both the left and right motor mounts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact did not contact the manufacturer regarding the defective motor mounts. The failure mileage was 52,000. The VIN was not available.
Took in our 2004 Honda Odyssey mini-van to fix open recalls. Dealer found a broken motor mount. I've never had such a thing happen to any vehicle and was surprised that it would fail at such low mileage. After researching online I come to find that this is a frequent problem for the Honda Odyssey.
I took my car in on a recall for shift interlock, was told all my engine mounts were broken and it was going to cost me $1000. This should be a safety issue and should be a recall on this, the mileage on my 2004 Honda Odyssey is 101434. This is a safety issue and Honda should pay for this cost. Honda is known for there reliability and dependability, should stand behind there vehicles. I had to call around to see what it would cost and is being fixed. I can't afford to pay this but I am forced to. I purchased the van because of the reliability of there vehicles and now this. So what is Honda going to do about this problem? another complaint # is 10425453. This is ridiculous and this repair is going to cost me $700 and I want a settlement amount to cover this cost. I expect to hear from someone on this matter and sooner the better.
Took our Honda Odyssey van in for service with the local Honda dealer. Was told that we had broken motor mounts. Dealer service center said that this is a common problem for this year/make/model and was a real risk to our safety if we didn't get it fixed. If it is such a risk, why is there not a recall? from looking at the number of complaints on this site, there are so many is it to numerous to count them all.
Dear sir/madam, we own a 2004 Honda Odyssey ex and bought it new at a local dealership. We maintained the vehicle according to the specs by the manufacturer. Earlier today we brought it to a local auto shop to get a regular oil change and was notified that the engine mounts are broken down and since the mileage is still under 100K, it is uncommon to have that. The store owner also mentioned that he noticed a lot of other Honda Odyssey have the similar problem. We went online to research the matter and found that there are actually a lot of complaints regarding similar issue from other Honda Odyssey owners particularly from 2003 to 2007 Honda Odyssey. Since we did not find a recall from Honda of America, we want to report the problem here to be taken a look upon. Thank you for your time.
Two engine mounts are failing despite the relatively low mileage on the van. I've never owned a vehicle that suffered from such a potentially catastrophic failure with this many miles on it.
Originating in portland, or to L.a., California, our vacation was abruptly interrupted 30 miles North of bakersfield with some smoke coming out of our engine. We decided to pull over for safety and upon disembarking noticed from fluid dripping from the driver side area of the engine. We were towed to a Honda dealership in bakersfield and after spending the night came back the next morning to the dealer and was told that my transmission on my 2004 Honda Odyssey was out of commission and that it needed to be replaced. I have been a loyal customer of Honda since the 80's, as my other family members, and never had we experienced this type of catastrophic event(having to pay $4000 to replace the transmission) during our family vacation. I am the original owner of this van and (from 2004), I never have I received any recall or communication from the Honda corporation about the transmission. I always changed my fluids and had it maintained. If I would've known about the transmission issue, I probably would've avoided using it for such as long journey. I contacted the Honda corporation office in California but they disregarded it as just a misfortune. I asked for reimbursement or some type of reimbursement but they denied my plead.
