#1 of 2 Alternator mounting brackets breaking by steveknob Jul 27, 2008 (2:50 pm)
I have had 3 alternator mounting brackets (orig., a new one, and then the new one after being welded after we were told it would be 4 to 6 weeks to get a new becaue "they NEVER break") break on my 2002 Odyssey in the last 7 months. Anyone else had this problem or know of any tech papers issued by Honda about this?   When they go, it is without warning, lots of belt whining, followed by the belt breaking, and then all the associated $$$ of replacing them all.   Signed, Had enough in FL Replies to this message: mvdk (Dec 25, 2008 2:28 pm)

Replying to: steveknob (Jul 27, 2008 2:50 pm) I have had the same problem with my 03 Odyssey. It's Christmas and the 4th bracket just broke this morning on our way to go sledding. It started with the a/c compressor going bad. Had it replaced with the timing belt. Then the a/c didn't work. Then the bracket broke. Had it replaced and the a/c apparently fixed. Both broke again. Fixed with promises everything is okay. Bracket broke again. Had the tensor arm replaced with a new bracket.   More $$ and more $$.   Then this morning the belt slipped off and I opened the hood and noticed that alternator was a bit off alignment and the belt was shredded. Cause? You guessed it, broken bracket. I'm beside myself and don't know what to do.   Any one else have this problem and did you find a long term solution?   Merry Christmas.
