ON 8/25/2016 I TOOK MY 2004 ODYSSEY TO ANDERSON HONDA AT PALO ALTO FOR NORMAL OIL CHANGE. AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE OIL DRAIN PLUG WOULD NOT TORQUE DOWN TO SPECS (JUST SPINS). THE OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE OIL PAN. ANDERSON HONDA'S SERVICE ADVISOR DENIED THAT THEY OVER-TORQUED THE PLUG. THE MILEAGE WAS ONLY 67637, THE PLUG HAD BEEN TAKEN OFF AND PUT ON FOR ONLY ABOUT A DOZEN TIMES AND IT'S THE ORIGINAL HONDA PART IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. BEFORE THE OIL CHANGE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND DURING THE LAST TIME MAINTENANCE AT ANOTHER HONDA DEALER THE CAR WAS CHECKED WITH EVERYTHING OK. ON 8/29/2016 I TOOK MY CAR TO VICTORY HONDA AT SAN BRUNO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE OIL PAN WAS REPLACED. THE OLD OIL PAN SHOWED THE SCREW IN THE OIL PAN WAS DAMAGED BY THE STEEL PLUG. THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM COULD BE: 1 ANDERSON HONDA'S TECHNICIAN OVER-TORQUED THE PLUG AND DAMAGED THE OIL PAN. BUT THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY ARE HONDA OFFICIAL DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T OVER-TORQUED IT. 2. HONDA'S PARTS OR DESIGNS HAVE DEFECT. THEY SHOULD NOT PUT STEEL PLUG ONTO A SOFT METAL PAN DIRECTLY. I THINK THE COST OF REPLACING DAMAGED OIL PAN SHOULD BE PAID EITHER BY ANDERSON HONDA OR HONDA OF AMERICA. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR THEIR FAULT. THE SAFETY ISSUE OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS OIL LEAKING (HARMFUL TO OUR ENVIRONMENT), ENGINE FAILING ON THE ROAD IF DAMAGED PLUG FALLS OFF. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE. I DO APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELPS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

I HAD ALL MAJOR SERVICES AT HONDA DEALER ( FOUR WHEELS ALIGNMENT AT 95000 MILES IN 2012, TIMING BELL AT 100000 MILES IN 2012, OIL TRANSMISSION SERVICE AT 109500 MILES IN 2013, ALIGNMENT AT 121000 IN 2013). I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS OR 100000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR. DURING THAT TIME PERIOD AND ALL SERVICES AT HONDA DEALER THEY DID NOT ADVISE ANY THING. TODAY I BROUGHT MY CAR FOR AIR BAG RECALL, ALIGNMENT AND OIL TRANSMISSION SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE ALL THREE ENGINE MOUNT COST APPROXIMATELY $1380. I WAS SHOCK BECAUSE IT TOO EXPENSIVE. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY ENGINE MOUNTS EASY TO BREAK. I WENT HOME RESEARCHING ONLINE AND SURPRISING TO DISCOVER THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THIS ENGINE MOUNT DEFECTED OR DESIGN PROBLEM CAUSE ENGINE MOUNTS EASY TO BREAK (NORMALLY NEED TO REPLACE OVER 200000 MILES) AND HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT I SUPPOSE TO DO BECAUSE IF ENGINE MOUNTS BROKE IT GOING TO EFFECT SUSPENSION, BALANCING AND ALIGNMENT SYSTEM ETC... THANK YOU VERY MUCH.BEST REGARD, *TR UPDATED 4/28/16

ENGINE

I PURCHASED A HONDA ODYSSEY FROM A LOCAL HONDA DEALER MARCH 2012 WITH 122,000 MILES ON IT AND WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. NOVEMBER 2014 I DROVE THE CAR TO MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE 5 HOURS AWAY FOR THANKSGIVING AND THE DAY AFTER THE RETURN TRIP THE CAR BEGAN SLIPPING GEARS. HONDA WANTS $5,100 TO FIX IT. THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS IN IT NOW IF THEY INDEED PUT A NEW ONE IN IT IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 47,000 MILES ON IT!! THAT IS RIDICULOUS!! I PAID $7,900 FOR A CAR THAT LASTED ME ONLY 47,000 MILES!!

ENGINE

DRIVING 2004 ODYSSEY (140K MILES) DOWN I-95 IN RICHMOND (FROM NOVA) AND STARTED LOSING POWER (DROPPING SPEED WITH INCREASING RPMS). BAD SMELL AND SMOKE OUT THE BACK LED ME TO BELIEVE IT WAS MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. FOUND A SHOP THAT REPLACED THE CC. WHILE REPLACING THEY NOTICED LOTS OF OIL UNDER MY VEHICLE. TURNS OUT IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE SHOP TOPPED OFF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID (4 QTS), LET IT RUN FOR A WHILE, DIDN'T SEE A LEAK, AND I DROVE OFF THE LOT. I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON SO I RETURNED TO THE AUTO SHOP. THEY WERE HAVING TROUBLE ERASING THE ERROR CODE SO THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF SO THEY RECOMMENDED I HAVE IT FIXED WHEN I RETURNED HOME. I WAS ON MY WAY TO A NORTH CAROLINA BEACH WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED (ALBEIT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL LIT). LOCAL DRIVING AT THE BEACH AT LOW SPEEDS (BELOW 40 MPH) CAUSED NO ISSUES. THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON MY WAY FROM THE NC BEACH TO NOVA, THE TCS LIGHT WAS NOW LIT (IN ADDITION TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT). WITHIN A FEW MILES I ENCOUNTERED A SIMILAR SITUATION WHILE HEADING NORTH ON I-95 (AS I DID THE WEEK BEFORE WHILE HEADING SOUTH ON I-95) THOUGH NOT AS SEVERE (SLIGHT DROP IN SPEED WITH INCREASING RPMS, BAD SMELL WITH SMOKE OUT THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE). I FOUND OUT THE NEXT DAY ABOUT THE HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE I WAS LUCKY TO GET 140K OUT OF IT, THOUGH NOT HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN BY HONDA. MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS SINCE 1984 WITH 4 VEHICLES PURCHASED. NO MORE.

ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING THE VAN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND SOUNDS FINE, BUT THE REPAIR SHOP PULLED A CODE OF P0740--TC CLUTCH FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING, AND THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEYS. WHILE OUR TRANSMISSION LASTED LONGER THAN MANY ODYSSEYS' DO, I THINK THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 119K IS UNACCEPTABLE.

ENGINE

IT WAS THURSDAY, EARLY EVENING, AND I WAS DRIVING ON A COUNTRY ROAD, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, WHEN THE 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN'S POWER CUT OUT. THE ENGINE WENT DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT JUST SUDDENLY CUT OFF FOR NO REASON. I WAS ABLE WITH DIFFICULTY TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE IGNITION "OFF" AND CALLED MY HUSBAND THINKING I MIGHT NEED AAA TO COME TOW THE CAR. AFTER THE VAN SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START AGAIN, BUT IT SOUNDED TERRIBLE AND THE ENGINE'S ENGAGEMENT FELT WEAK. I WAS A FEW MILES FROM AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND DECIDED TO SLOWLY DRIVE IT THERE AND LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT. I WAS TOLD THE NEXT DAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND THE MECHANIC MENTIONED THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON MY VAN OF WHICH I WAS UNAWARE. I LOOKED UP THE RECALLS ON THE NHTSA SITE THAT HONDA AND ISSUED AND NOTICED THAT MY VAN'S VIN NUMBER WAS IN THE RANGE THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I CALLED LOCAL HONDA DEALERS ABOUT THIS AS WELL AS THE HONDA CORPORATE NUMBER. EACH SAID THAT EVEN THOUGH MY VAN'S VIN WAS IN THE BATCH THAT WAS RECALLED AND EVEN THOUGH THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED WAS THE REASON FOR THE RECALL, THEY DID NOT FEEL OBLIGED TO ASSIST WITH THE VAN'S REPAIR. NEITHER THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER NOR HONDA CORPORATE WOULD GIVE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THEY FELT THEY DID NOT NEED TO SHOULDER ANY OF THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT COSTS. I BELIEVE THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW. CAN CORPORATIONS LIKE HONDA REALLY GET AWAY WITH IGNORING THE LAW? AFTER PAYING FOR A $4,600 TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIGHT THEM.

ENGINE

THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAS BEEN A BANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE UPON ACCELERATION FOR SOME TIME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY ARE TELLING US THAT WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS AT OVER $1000.00. HE HAS TOLD US THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL VEHICLE. WE HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING TO YOU AND HONDA, AS WELL AS OTHER FORUM BOARDS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT IS BEING OVERLOOKED BY HONDA. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PART. THEY SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT ALL. AS YOU KNOW, FAILURE OF THIS PART COULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC RESULTS CAUSING A VEHICLE TO CAREEN INTO OTHERS, DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. THIS SHOULD CLEARLY BE A RECALL ISSUE. THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE FOOTING THE BILL FOR AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA IS CHOOSING TO IGNORE. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE CONDUCTED IMMEDIATELY INTO THIS NEGLIGENT BEHAVIOR ON HONDA'S PART.

5/6/14 TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL SERVICE STATION FOR DIAGNOSIS OF CLUNKING ENGINE NOISE. HAD TO PAY $1400 TO REPLACE BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS THAT WERE COMPLETELY WORN OUT . ALSO HAS TO REPLACE THE OUTER TIE RODS THAT WERE WORN OUT CREATING A COMPLETELY UNSAFE VEHICLE. LESS THAN A WEEK LATER, THE D LIGHT WENT BLACK. SUDDENLY IT CAME BACK ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION AND THEY NOW DIAGNOSED IT WITH THE P0740 CODE TCC LOCKUP SOLENOID. CALLED SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS THAT TOLD ME THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS IS TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $3500 AND UP. THIS IS VERY DISCERNING THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T LAST LONGER AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND HONDA REFUSES TO ISSUE THE RECALL ON ALL 2004 TRANSMISSIONS. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT THERE REFERRING TO THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST STATING THE VEHICLE IS WAY OUT OF WARRANTY TO ASSIST FINANCIALLY. I HAVE HAD ALL THE SERVICE DONE AT THE DEALER UNTIL THERE WAS AN ISSUE LAST YEAR WITH THE HEATING/AIR CONDITIONER THAT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY FIX AFTER 6 VISITS AND NUMEROUS COOLANT FLUSHES. I HAVE NO FAITH IN THAT LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HELP. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A MONEY PIT AND CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. NEVER AGAIN HONDA. THEY HAVE CERTAINLY LOST MY LOYALTY AFTER ALL THIS. WE DEALT WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2003 ACURA TLS TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE BAD, 3 TRANSMISSIONS LATER AND NO HELP FROM HONDA WHO KNOWINGLY COVERED UP THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND LEFT CONSUMERS FOOTING THE BILL.

HAVE OWNED THIS ODDYSEY SINCE 2008 AND THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME HAD AROUND 40,000 MILES. AT THAT TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ENGINE MOUNT. LAS WEEK I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR 90K SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH THE FRONT RIGHT AND FRONT MIDDLE MOUNT AGAIN!!!. SO THESE MOUNTS LAST 40 TO 50K MILES AT MAX, OUTRAGEOUS FOR A BRAND LIKE HONDA. I WILL COST ME NOW 800$ TO REPLACE THESE 2.

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?

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 ODYSSEYS AT ABOUT THAT MILEAGE AROUND THAT YEAR. WITH SO MANY WITH THE PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.
