Replying to: jlindke (Nov 16, 2008 5:27 pm) I was told last week that this is normal. If the drive train fails after the warranty runs out they claim that if it meets the following criteria they will offer me a "good will" fix. It has to be an original owner car and been serviced properly throughout. They wouldn't say what percent of the repair they would pick up. If you find out please write in and let us know. From what I see there are a lot of Odys out there with the same condition and I don't know why there wouldn't be drive train failures. That vibration has to translate to wear. I'm being told it is the torque converter trying to lock in.

Replying to: jlindke (Nov 16, 2008 5:27 pm) I don't know what to think anymore - I know the vehicle has the possibility to drive smooth - because at one time it did. I've changed plugs thinking it was ignition related. I had the rear engine mount replaced - and as it turns out it was actually toast, so afterwards I noticed a huge improvement in ride - but, the underlying issue was still there. The focus then turned to the torque converter...so if you're gonna do a torque converter...you may as well make extra sure and do the whole enchilada..right?....so I did, 1 rebuilt tranny, and the verdict is..........the problem its still there Hasn't anyone managed to find the silver built?? I'm thinking I need to go back to the dealer..................#$%#%.......oh that, that was my car at 49 mph!

Replying to: fsudreyer (Dec 12, 2006 4:14 pm) 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:   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.

Vibrations Caused By Engine Mount Problem

Replying to: aerodogut (Jan 09, 2009 10:54 am) Thanks for all the suggestions, however--this has been replaced/fixed as well. Recently had a "Honda Engineer" to deem the vehicle in normal driving operations-- however the problem still exists and is not fixed. Honda Claims department has basically told me that they have no other avenues to address or take in fixing my vehicle. Now, my only option left is to get an Attorney (which I have) to see what options I may have. Again, I can not express enough what a complete nightmare this has been to deal with over 2 years! At this point, I will not be replacing this vehicle with another Odyssey Touring! What a complete waste of money this has been on this particular "Quality" vehicle! Best of luck to those of you dealing with the same issues and I hope your issues get resolved in some form or fashion!
#83 of 166 It's the motor mount by blountl3 Jan 22, 2009 (4:36 pm)
Replying to: skibrain (Dec 25, 2006 10:43 am) My 2005 has been vibrating for the last several months. When I accelerate, it starts vibrating and there is a low roar noise (kind of sounds like I'm driving a truck). I can let my foot off the accelerator or speed up and make the vibrations stop temporarily. I can feel the shift on my foot when I'm accelerating (kind of feels like gears slipping).   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.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Nov 13, 2008 8:52 pm) The following has been replaced/repaired on my 05 Touring Odyssey: 1. Replaced rt. front knuckle, all bearings and hubs. 2. New tires. 3. Replaced both driveshaft assemblies 4. Replaced both rotors. 5. Replace exhaust pipe per bulletin. 6.Replaced outer tie rod ends. 7. Replaced brake pads, rotors and calipers. 8. Replaced power steering rack assembly, tie rods and boots. 9. Replaced transmission/transaxle 10. Replaced Motor mounts on rear of engine. (All done in the past 4 months!!)   ** Now for an update. Let me remind you that I just had the transmission replaced less than 2 months ago and then today, while driving down the interstate with my little ones in tow, a sluggish jerk happened and a warning came on my screen about the transmission. The "D" (drive) light was flashing and the van did not seem to change gears at all. Luckily I only drove for 15 more mins. to make it to my driveway safely. Still waiting on my attorney to follow up with me on this case. NO ONE should have to deal with such POOR QUALITY of a product!! Honestly, I can say that I would never repurchase a Honda Odyssey Van!! And anyone considering to purchase one better do some extra homework on this product!! Seems like a lot of us are dealing with transmission/vibration issues which Honda should do a recall on! I can see how concerned they are at keeping their customers happy and making sure they will return!!

Replying to: blountl3 (Jan 22, 2009 4:36 pm) Hello! Good luck with getting the adequate response from Honda concerning our issues. I have been dealing with my vibration issues for over 2 years now and have not had my issues resolved even once-- not even after Honda sends an Engineer from Chicago to inspect my vehicle and everything Honda Tech Line stated to replace was replaced! I would bet the CEO's and the Engineer that "inspected" my "normal driving operations" odyssey touring would not drive 2 miles in my clunker of a Honda! They would have a new replacement, like I should have had over 2 years ago! I am seeking legal advise at this time and would suggest all who are having this particular problem to as well. Best of luck!
#86 of 166 It's not the Motor Mount or the Y exhaust!!!! by crazyvan Feb 19, 2009 (6:14 pm)
I have had the same problem as mentioned above, exactly on my '05 Touring Odyssey. My mechanic has replaced the motor mount, which they said was broken. Done. They have now replaced the Y in the exhaust as described on the Honda Bulletin. Done, yet the noise is still there. $1500 later, I have now been told it is a major engine issue with the rear cylinder head, valve train mechanism. My van has 59,000 miles and is out of warranty. The mechanic (non-Honda) has spoken with Honda and they are looking at it tomorrow. The mechanic said Honda may ask me to pay half, but encouraged me to speak with Honda CS if they do. From reading the above I do not have a very good feeling about this! Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Feb 19, 2009 8:24 pm)
