Replying to: fsudreyer (Dec 12, 2006 4:14 pm) AccurateCars.com There are pictures too. The specially designed rear motor mount has a cusion that is intended to keep the vibrations from the non working cylinders in ECO mode from transmitting into the rest of the van. The motor mount cusion failed so the motor mount was essentially sitting on metal instead of air, so the vibrations transmit through the rest of the car. This is actually relatively easy to check. If you can, jack up the car to where it is safe to get under it. If you cannot do this on your own, you can do this during your next oil change or maybe an auto shop can just put it up on a lift. If you look up at the very back of the engine, you will find a mount that looks like the one in the picture in the above link. You will also be able to see if the gap is there or if there is contact where the gap should be. |

I have read through many of these posts that the concern is that there is a problem with the transmission. I have a 2005 Odyssey w/ 105,000 miles. The van was vibrating when in ECO and would smooth out when I accelerated. The problem is the rear engine mount!!!! Look at this website: Link to website with pictures of engine mount. There are pictures too.

Replying to: skibrain (Dec 25, 2006 10:43 am) I took my 2005 Honda in (68,000 miles) for service and was told my motor mount need replacing. $650 dollars later, the problem is solved. I have since heard that it is very hard to destroy a motor mount, so I began researching this subject to see if there was some kind of defect. After finding this blog, I would think that there is a specific problem that needs to be addressed by Honda. If anyone has any info on class action or where we can file an official complaint, please give me the info. I will definitely follow through. Also, I have a friend who has a 2007 Honda Odyssey with less than 20,000 miles and hers just started doing the exact same thing. Fortunately, she's still under warranty, but it just seems to coincidental that we had the exact same problem.
