MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY (WITH 45000 MILES) REAR LIFT GATE SUPPORTING STRUT(S) FAILED AND THE THE GATE BECAME SO HEAVY. LUCKILY THE FAILURE HAPPENED WHEN THE GATE WAS CLOSED. IF THE FAILURE OCCURS WHEN THE GATE IS OPEN, SOMEONE MAY BE INJURED. HOWEVER, I DID BUMP MY HEAD WHEN I PUT A POST TO HOLD THE GATE WHILE REMOVING ITEMS FROM THE VEHICLE. I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE POST AND THE GATE FELL AND HIT MY HEAD. THE KEY POINT IS THAT HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE STRUTS WITH A HEAVIER DUTY PARTS SO NO ONE WILL GET HURT. *LN

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EXCESSIVE VIBRATION FROM ENGINE WHEN AT IDLE AND ESPECIALLY WHEN ECO MODE ENGAGED OR DURING SLOW ACCELERATION. HONDA DEALER STATES THE CAUSE TO BE A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT WHICH IS A SPECIAL DESIGN AND COSTS OVER $500 - $600. THE VAN HAS ONLY 80000 MILES BUT THAT PUTS IT PAST WARRANTY. SEE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN TSB 06-083 FOR A MORE DETAILED REPORT FROM HONDA. THE REASON I BRING THIS TO YOU IS THE MANY WEB SIGHT BLOGS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND HONDA'S UNWILLINGNESS TO HELP WITH COSTS AND OR REPLACEMENTS. THIS COULD BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF SOMEONE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THEM AND IF THE MOUNTS DESIGN IS AT FAULT, SIMPLE REPLACEMENT WILL ONLY RESULT IN FUTURE FAILURES. IF THIS ISSUE IS ALLOWED TO PERSIST FOR TOO LONG THE OTHER MOUNTS BEGIN TO FAIL AND THE MOTOR DROPPING OUT BECOMES A REAL POSSIBILITY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BY HONDA AND A REDESIGN OF THE MOUNT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *LN
