2006 Honda Odyssey: harsh or hard shifting

Filed Sep 1, 2015 · Engine · 80,000 miles · PA

Loud clunking sound coming from under the drivers engine side - had car checked and mechanic replaced motor mounts, but still making same noise - almost sounds like engine will drop out at any moment. Also when traveling on highway at speeds of 55 or higher, van will shake uncontrollably and also randomly at low speeds when just starting from a complete stop. I do not feel safe with my children in the van under these conditions, from reading complaints, it definitely sounds like honda should be responsible for this malfunction.

It started with a loud clunk noise coming from the engine area anytime I turned a corner or drove over a bump in the road. It started happening all the time. Took it in and was notified that the engine mounts were going out. I was quoted $1900.00 to replace all 5!! Now my car shakes violently on the freeway going 60 MPH. This is indicative of the engine mounts breaking. This is a major defect!! This needs to be a safety recall. I have read many complaints about this. Honda needs to be responsible for the repairs!

Driving on 2 lane highway with my 3 kids in the van. The battery light comes on and I hear a few brief clunks from engine area. Then I realize I have no power steering so I stop quickly at a safe spot. I look at the engine and see the accessory belt that drives power steering pump, alternator, and A/C is loose. I see that the outer ring on the crankshaft pulley is missing and only see rubber on its outside. It's over 100 deg.f outside and we're 10 miles from anything. I call a few towing companies and find one that can show up within an hour. We wait and also get a hold of a friend to pick us up after the tow truck shows up. They tow it to our local honda dealer. The dealer replaces the crankshaft pulley and drive belt. Towing was $153.40 and repair at dealer was $349.56. Losing power steering on narrow two lane highway going 55 MPH is unsafe and the crankshaft pulley should not fail even at 111k miles. I have owned the van since new and have all proper maintenance done (preventively replaced accessory belt before and timing belt and water pump).

My 2006 honda odyssey. The passenger side electric sliding door fell off of the hinge. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that the door was not covered under the warranty and told me that I was responsible for the repair cost. The honda manufacturer has not been contacted. The failure mileage was 48,000. The drive side squeaks, creaks, rattles, and clunks it sounds like it is also get ready to fall off.

I have had my honda odyssey inspected several times and have complained about a clunking noise coming from underneath vehicle when it comes to a stop. I recently was told by a honda representative (mechanic of honda) that some of the odyssey (2006 model) the noise is from the gas tank bumping. I was told this is just a characteristic of the odyssey. I told them that sometimes the noise is really a loud and a hard clunk. I then was told just check and see how full the gas tank is at the time. I have researched and learned others have complained about the same problem. I don't how thiscould not be a safety issue when gas is involved? I think they should be doing something to correct this problem.
