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.
Car was purchased with broken motor mounts, but it has never been in a crash. Seems to be a common theme with this Odyssey. Paid over $900 to get all 3 replaced at Honda dealership. Seems to be a very poor design.
I want people to know that Honda now has a software fix for shuddering transmission problems and shaking. Our 2005 Odyssey touring would shake between 35-45 mph. We had the transmission serviced several time and never had a broken engine mount. Honda just came out with this fix in late June 2012 and it seems to have solved our problem. Our Honda garage installed this software update for free even though we now have 122K. It only takes 15 minutes. Hope this helps.
Three days after purchasing the Odyssey van, a severe vibration in the front end occurred. It was taken back to the dealer and I was told that the electronic motor mounts needed to be replaced. $1500 later, the problem was fixed. On June 28, 2012, with 122000 miles on the same Odyssey van, the same motor mounts need to be replaced. This time, all three need to be replaced at a cost of $2200.
Motor mount!!!!! like many others it appears Honda has known about this issue and other than charging the customer for the excessively priced part to repair this issue that seems it may occur again after 50K. Seems like a racket to me. Our recent visit to the dealership didn't even need the service adviser to check out the problem. Apparently just mentioning vibration and they know that it's the motor mount. If Honda doesn't volunteer to recall this issue and NHTSA doesn't find just cause, I think perhaps a class action suit will remedy the situation.
Vehicle has been exhibiting a very harsh shaking/vibration while in eco mode. This is distracting as well as uncomfortable. Recently the vibration has gotten so bad, we can not see out of any of the mirrors as the shaking vibrates them to the point of complete uselessness. The worst part is that we just paid $2000 at a dealership to replace the rear motor mount and flush transmission again. We have had this van since 60K and serviced transmission four times now, replacing motor mount twice. This time, with no apparent effect.
