2005 Honda Odyssey engine complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 155, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Front & rear engine mounts both went bad and the engine shakes at the same time is their any recall about this issure
Vehicle will not go over 25 MPH without shaking violently. Pilling misfire codes
The back motor mount needs to be replaced. I have low mileage in this vehicle and the engine shudders when it is in the eco setting.
My honda odyssey is burning too much oil than it should. I am needing to add 1 quart every 2 weeks if that as it is already down 1 quart. It is regularly on time going in for oil changes and has been serviced since I've bought it in 2015. It has had many other issues and has been repaired. Now this is seemingly a problem. The oil percentage is not telling me that it is low or none at all. No oil dummy lights have come on when I have not a drop of oil. I have switched and used high mileage oil rather than conventional and go every 3,000 miles & even did a treatment recently. Nothing is doing the job.
Excessive oil consumption with 3.5l vtec engine for which honda was found liable on 2008-2013 odyssey and a slew of other models. My 2005 is doing the same thing yet 2005-2007 cars are not included. Safety wise - when the oil pressure is low enough, the engine will lose nearly all power and cannot safely accelerate (barely maintain speed) yet, the engine oil warning light has never come on in the vehicle...
While driving, acceleration of first gear is hampered, vehicle has loss of power and slips gears. Unable to get out of the way of fast moving traffic or the ability to get out of the way when in the middle of a busy intersection safely. Vehicle has less than 57000 miles on engine.
Our 2005 honda odyssey vibrates, especially around 35-45 MPH. Honda told us that the engine mounts have broken and that is what is causing it. They are not a cheap fix. Engine mounts, the last thing that you would think would go out on a vehicle! Yet, when you go online, this apparently seems to be a massive problem with these vans. Honda has a problem with their engine mounts braking and this seems to be ok with them. This is not ok. They need to take responsibility for this failure. We have already been through having to replace many other failures from honda throughout the years, including replacing the fuel cap before they recalled it. We will no longer be purchasing honda vehicles.
Motor mounts are broken/cracked and dealer quoted $2,466.00 to replace them!
Torque converter going in the transmission. I see that there are numerous complaints about this issue and that honda has been aware of this and has done a service bulletin but no recall. This has been going on for over a year.
Dealer said 2 engine mounts bad. The front one, is over $500 just for the part. Two issues: how was it determined this part was bad and with such a significant price for one of them (there are two on this model), I take issue with the obviously flawed design. I am seriously considering legal action referencing both the above issues. My biggest concern is a fault design to drive service sales later in the life of the vehicle.
Driving at about 65 then acceleration, the can starts to shack bad, to the point danger to drive, I was able to advoide a crash, don't know about next time. Looked online this happened to allot of people at different number of miles, as little as 50k and different speeds (40-65)odyssey's 2005-2010. Design problem. May happen multiple times in life of van, car be expensive to fix each time. I bought this van used with 145k expected some problem. But from what I have found this is a big problem to allot of drives. Danger, danger, danger
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda odyssey. While the vehicle was at the service center for maintenance, the independent mechanic diagnosed that the engine mounts would need to be replaced. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 125,000.
On june 15, 2015 my 2005 honda odyssey airbag system light came on and stayed until now, I was scared due to airbag might blown out or causing any trouble while vehicle in use or worst something happen. I took my vehicle to honda dealer on june 16, and I was told no recalls. They did some diagnose and I was told it was the seat belt buckle and wiring on driver side, the buckle was replace (free of charge), but the wiring cost $550 to have it fix. I refused the service due to no sense and not enough evidence to prove the issue. I did some research and found same issue on same vehicle that has airbag system lights on dashboard. I do believe that the dealer should address this as recall especially if the vehicle never been in accident. Please let me know if there is anything you can do to address this issue. Thanks
Crank shaft pulley separated from hub and caused sudden & total loss of power steering while in motion.
Car jiggers and vibrates when eco mode kicks in. Car also vibrates constantly. Multiple motor mounts have been deemed bad and needing replacement. Motor mounts should be able to handle the eco shift and last longer than this.
Oil pan plug unable to screw tight,the plug where u drain the oil can't screw tight
Steering wheel severe vibrations while driving on highway at 50 up to 70 MPH went to auto mechanic and replaced 2 engine mounts ($1113 total).
One morning as we were started up the engine I noticed a somewhat loud noise as is the muffler had a hole in it. I drove it for awhile and noticed at this point that the noise was heard as we accelerated and when the car went into eco mode. I had stood outside of the vehicle while my wife drove away but did not notice any noise. Thought this was strange. I took it to the honda dealer on a recall, fuel pump, and asked for them to look under it. They reported that it was the motor mount that was worn down. I see that honda odyssey, 2005 (our year model) through 2007 has this problem. Is there any type of action that can be taken to have honda repair this incident without the cost coming from me.
Summer of 2014 my 2005 honda odyssey was losing power on the road to the point I had to be towed to my mechanic. Turned out I was low on oil with no leaks at all and not due for an oil change. This is very stressful on my engine. My van is only used for local travel, about 20 miles per day and I have been needing to add oil about once per month, still with no leaks. I understand there is a class action suit for honda odysseys 2008-2013 for excessive oil burning, entering the combustion chamber and burning excessive oil at normal operating speeds and conditions. Copied from the internet, http://www.hondaproblems.com/trends/excessive-oil-consumption/ the original lawsuit claims honda hid the problem from consumers. Honda denied the allegation, despite issuing a technical service bulletin (tsb #11-033) in july of 2011 that quietly acknowledged the problem. The tsb states that "the vcm (variable cylinder management) may be repeatedly switching on and off during light throttle operation, at cruising speeds, on flat roads." essentially, the engine is working much harder than it has to in normal driving conditions. In fact, if your commute doesn't consist of climbing through the rockies, you're probably going to see more oil consumption than normal. Just spoke to american honda who advised I need to take my vehicle to honda for an inspection.
Told by dealer that the engine mounts are cracked and need to be replaced. In looking online, I've found this complaint on numerous sites.
When maneuvering in low mileage areas, I.e. Driveways, parking lots, my power steering pump does not assist well, if at all. The vehicle makes a noise similar to an rc car with a dying battery and the steering wheel is almost impossible for me to move. In order to get out of a parking space, it can take me up to 10 or so moves because I cannot get the wheel to turn properly.
When accelerating on the highway (began at approx. 55mph), my vehicle began to shake violently. Any acceleration at or higher than the 55mph mark continues to make the vehicle shake. We believe the issue is caused by damaged/broken motor mounts.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda odyssey. The contact stated that when driving over bumpy road surfaces, the engine would vibrate abnormally. The contact also stated that when shifting gears the vehicle would jolt. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the rear engine mount was fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 100,000.
My 2005 honda odyssey ex-l has only about 66,000 miles on it and a honda dealership said that one of the engine mounts has broken when I brought my car in for a honda's fuel pump safety recall service. I searched on the internet and found that there are thousands of honda's owners that are experiencing the same issue with honda vehicles manufactured between 2000 - 2012. The engine mounts on honda vehicles, especially the odyssey, break easily and this seems to be a design flaw that honda has neglected to correct. Engine mounts should not break at about 50,000 miles. They should last even much longer than 100,000 miles. The cost of replacing the engine mount runs at approximately $1000/mount, which is very expensive. Please help look into this issue. Thank you.
Acceleration to 65-68mph up to approximately 73-75mph the van's front wheels enter a mild to fairly strong, alarming, shimmy felt distinctly and synchronized through the steering wheel. We had just recently purchased this van 2 months prior and ironically had 2 brand new yokohama tires on the front rims. We took a trip from midwest to up and along the eastern seaboard. Symptoms initially reasonable got stronger but appeared at the slower end of the range mentioned above. Now it has gotten aggressively worse to the point you'd think I'd need new tires, but they are in good shape with lots of meat on the treads still. I have read many blogs now that indicate very bad design on electronic motor mounts have caused this and con concur with the general populous of 2005 honda odyssey mini-van owners out there that this is a critical fix that needs to be implemented by honda. Sincerely, [xxx] 11/2/14. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Replaced front engine mount on march 2014, now (oct 2014) car is due for rear mount at 102,500 miles. Honda odyssey vibration caused by failed rear engine mount dangerous at high speed. There should be a safety recall on this, affecting to thousands of odyssey owners. What are we waiting for?
While driving on !-25 south, the car started to choke and almost completely stalled while on the left lane. Tried to merge right and slow down the car. The brakes would not respond. The car was still choked and then gives in and goes again. Took the first exit and continues to press on the brakes to slow down the car. It continued on for a while before reaching a complete stop. After stopping, checked the engine for leaks or smoke and there was nothing. I started the car again and it seem to start fine. Then there was some kind of light noise. I drove it to just the other side of the highway where there were some stores. Took it to the dealer that just performed preventive timing belt replacement. Said that they found broken/seized spark plug in cylinder 2. The work was done at 76000. Current miles is 77990. The issue seem to be happening to 2005 honda odyssey.
Brought the car to a honda dealership (tony honda, waipahu hi 96797) for recall (fuel pump) and routine maintenance and two broken motor mounts were discovered (right side and rear side). Was advised that repair of the two broken mounts would most likely lead to damage to the remaining mounts, which would then have to be replaced as well.
When the car is about 45-50 MPH the engine shutters. It feels like I'm driving over railroad tracks. The car also shutters when the eco light comes on. I've been told that the torque converter is failing and that it is a known failure in this model and year. Honda needs to do a recall on this because this is a defective transmission.
