I believe strongly, it has to do with my ignition. My engine just quits without any warning. One time it quit on me when I was driving on a high way. And multiple times it quits on the regular driving on local roads.

I was driving on a crowded expressway when my car seized up completely due to a transmission failure which put me in an extremely dangerous situation. I was in the middle lane with three large semi trailer trucks in front of me, in back of me, and to the right of me on a 3 lane highway. The truck behind me had enough room to barely slow down but it almost crashed into me. I turned on my emergency flasher lights and was able to get the car onto the shoulder of a slightly uphill exit ramp, narrowly escaping serious injury. I was then able to very slowly move the car in first gear with the flashers going, and fortunately was close to a side street where I parked the car and had it towed to the nearest dealership. Although honda replaced my transmission for free under the auspices of a class action lawsuit back in 2007, the car has low mileage for the life of the transmission. However, they are refusing to cover the replacement cost of the transmission. The transmission failure was sudden and literally seized up the car and put my life in danger. This doesn't seem to matter to honda. I am registering this complaint not only to get satisfaction from honda, but also to warn other odyssey owners that this may happen to them, and let them know this is potentially deadly.

Motor mounts broken. First time was when I got my transmission done at about 100,000 miles of which I never got reimbursed for per class action settlement. Second time was a few years back. Now I'm told that my motor mounts are broken at st. Lucie battery in jensen beach, florida. These motor mounds that honda is putting in their vans don't hold the engine well without breaking.

The car seems to consume motor oil and I have to add motor oils after certain miles. I did oil level check every month or bi-monthly and I started to realize that I was driving the van with very low oil low level. At first I thought it could be because the car is old but from my experience with other much older car, oil consumption has not been an issue. Check with the dealer and other mechanics and they all gave me the same explanations that the issue is related to the mileage of the car (getting old). At the time I started to realize the issue, the car had only approximately 80k miles...
