My wife drove the Odyssey (05 80k miles) 35 miles stopped for an hour and get back on. Turns the key and car bomb type explosion! It shook the neighborhood. Top half of the manifold is in pieces. I have full fuel with 30% oil life no previous case of knocking or pinging. Bizzare. I am hoping Honda does good and stands by their product. Initial dealer reaction is it is not covered by the warranty. Looks like I need to do a lot of work. Can anyone help steer me on how to deal with this?

I have a 1998 Honda Odyssey (1999 Isuzu Oasis) that suddenly dies when I am driving, and when I am stopped. No pattern at all. I took it in to Manual Isuzu and they replaced the recalled ignition switch, but the vehicle is still acting up. I can restart it, and even restart while driving. I can also hold the key while driving, and the vehicle seems to be fine. Any suggestions? The only "clue" I have is that the fuel gauge seems to vary a bit after I restart the engine. |

I have a brand new '09 Honda Odyssey and last week it just stopped running. I was driving and suddenly my van started losing speed, I gave it some more gas and it started to go for about 20 seconds and then stopped. There was no grinding just quiet. It has been at the dealer for over 1 1/2weeks and they just ordered cylinder heads. Oh, the van only has 352 miles on it. Has anyone else had this problem? The service manager is saying I won't get another car, but I am going to keep fighting them on it.

I just have this 09 Odyssey for a week and it has about 1K miles on it. I notice that whenever the speed is at 40 ~ 50 mph the engine started to making noises and causing vibration. My husband said it's probably because it was switching gears at that time. But I'm concern about the engine is having some problem. I don't know whether it is normal or it will eventually go away after a while. Can any expert here give me some advice please? |

Replying to: bcheney (Jun 12, 2009 10:21 am) after me taking it to the dealer several times, they finally recognized that there was a problem. They replaced the "knock sensor" and it seemed to stop, but I think I still hear it at times. the octane of fuel doesnt matter either. Now, I am starting to feel the transmission shudder. I wish I had stuck with the dodge product that we had before this Honda. The honda is allot nicer inside but overall, I am not happy with it. the constant haggling with the dealer makes me crazy! there is a service bulletin out there ofr the knock sensor. you can prob. find it on google. good luck! |

Replying to: bcheney (Jun 12, 2009 10:21 am) I visited 3 different dealers, 5 times. The first answer from Honda America was that I need to drive until 5,000 miles then it will disappear. The second answer from Honda Dist. Mechanic was that it is normal. The third answer from Honda Tech. Line was that it is a new issue. They asked a dealer to take a snapshot of my car and another brand-new Odyssey. After that they said they need to investigate more. In three weeks, Honda gave me a call and asked me to bring my car to a dealer. They wanted to try several different ways. Still my car is in a shop now. I bought my car on April 22, 2009, but my car was in a shop for 17 days during 4 attempts to fix the problem. They adjusted an engine mount, a transmission mount, and an exhaust system. Now they are checking a transmission torque convertor, a transmission speed sensor, etc,.. One of service managers said he tried to fix this problem on 2005 Odyssey with a mileage of around 50,000 last year, but he couldn't. The problem happened at the speed of 45-55 MPH with a RPM of 1400-1500. It is a little bit better if it is warm, over 70 F. A friend of mine, who is a mechanic with over 20 year experience, said Honda may or may not know this problem, but they don't have the process to solve this problem. He also told me that if the problem remains after 3 visits to a dealer to fix the problem, I need to return the car.

I bought a pre-owned Honda Odyssey 3 weeks ago with 44,000 miles. Yesterday, for the 3rd time--I was stopped at a crosswalk with my brake on; suddenly the engine revved up (think NASCAR). The car started lurching into the crosswalk as I kept my foot firmly on the brake. It's at the dealer and they can't find anything wrong. I can't drive it as I almost ran a person over yesterday.
