BROUGHT IN MY 2005 ODYSSEY FOR ANNUAL INSPECTION IN MARCH 2012 AND WAS INFORMED THAT BOTH FRONT AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. HONDA DEALERSHIP INDICATED THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE V6 HONDA VEHICLES, AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ODYSSEY WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $830+TAX. I RESEARCHED ON-LINE, AND CONFIRMED THAT IT IS INDEED A COMMON OCCURRENCE, AS THERE WERE NUMEROUS POSTINGS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I TOOK THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED THE HONDA CORPORATION. PERSON WHO TOOK THE CALL ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER, AND INDICATED THAT I MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE PERSON WHO FOLLOWED UP 1 WEEK LATER INDICATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, AND THEREFORE HONDA WILL NOT REIMBURSE ANY AMOUNT. THEY INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAR OUT BETWEEN 80 AND 100K MILES. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES, AND NONE EVER HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT WHICH HONDA NEEDS TO TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR, AND PERFORM A RECALL FOR REPAIRS. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR STUCK CLOSED. SON COULD NOT GET OUT. PANICKED STATE BECAUSE HE WENT BACK TO GET SOMETHING FROM VAN AND CLOSED THE DOOR WHILE HE LOOKED FOR IT. COULD NOT GET OUT AS DOOR WAS STUCK. HE TRIED TO OPEN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NO USE. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER PROBLEM IF IT WERE SUMMER HERE IN PHOENIX ARIZONA AS THE TEMPERATURE COULD HAVE BEEN 115 DEGREES OR HIGHER OUTSIDE MAKING THE TEMPERATURE AT LEAST 20-30 DEGREES HOTTER INSIDE. LUCKILY THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 80'S IN THE PHOENIX AREA TODAY. WE VISIT OUR RELATIVES IN ARIZONA AT LEAST ONCE EVERY YEAR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE DOOR ISSUES ON OUR ALMOST 3,000 MILE ROUND TRIP. WE HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND FOR SAFETY REASONS CANNOT HAVE OUR DOORS FAIL TO CLOSE OR OPEN PROPERLY FOR ANY REASON, AT ANY TIME! *TR

WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR 15K MILE SERVICE TODAY, THEY NOTICED THAT MY FRONT ENGINE MOUNT HAD BROKEN AND TOLD ME TO GET IT REPLACED RIGHT AWAY AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME $500 (LABOR AND PARTS). THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME ON ANY OF MY OTHER CARS AND I THINK THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW BY HONDA. WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE, I FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND MANY OF THEM HAD THE REAR AND SIDE MOUNTS BROKEN TOO WHICH COSTS EVEN MORE TO FIX... HONDA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS AN ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE AND RECALL THE VANS AND GET THEM FIXED FOR FREE. *TR

Honda will replace the liftgate struts in approximately 21,776 model year 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring vehicles equipped with power liftgates that were built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly on July 16, 2005 (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-055).Vehicles built after the change experience significantly lower failure rates.The recall will inform consumers of the dangers of the existing struts and provide the opportunity for vehicle owners to obtain new struts that are more robust.Based on Honda's action, the agency has decided to close the investigation.While Honda has not made a decision that the recalled vehicles contain a safety-related defect, in view of the recall, further use of the agency's resources does not appear to be warranted.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Additional information can be found in the attached Engineering Analysis Report.
