Backing out of my driveway in reverse then shifting into drive the Odyssey would continue in reverse. Shifted into drive and the car wouldn't move. Shifted into 2nd gear and the car stated to move, shifted again into drive. Stopped at a traffic light and when I put my foot on the gas the rpm's went flying and the car wouldn't move forward.
During a routine oil change yesterday, my wife was informed that the front and side motor mounts were broken and needed replaced. This seemed odd since it had not been observed during previous visits and for the miles on the vehicle. After going on line, it appears there are many others having the exact same issue and that this is a quality issue with Honda. I only hope that nothing serious happens to any owners of these vehicles including mine.
VIN not available: car currently in service on Monday, 12/19/2011, the Odyssey accelerated even after applying brakes to slow down. Had to pull into service shop and drive until the car could be safely placed in park, and had to shut off the engine. Was told the electronic throttle position sensor (part #047211) would have to be ordered from Honda and replaced. The car was available for pick up on Tuesday 12/20/2011. On Wednesday, 12/21/2011, while traveling east on the new york state thruway the car began to accelerate again above the speed limit without stepping on the gas. The cruise control was not on. The car continued to accelerate after depressing the brakes. I had to pull to the side of the road and into a service station. Continued to drive around parking lot until I could put the car in neutral and, again, shut the engine off. Even when car was turned back on the engine accelerated. The car is currently at a certified Honda repair shop in yorkville, n. Y. Being evaluated. They are telling us they will need to check engine and transmission mounts on the vehicle (due to being in an accident in 2009, but was reconditioned in 2010 by another Honda dealer), also will check cable between throttle body and gas. Still waiting to hear if anything has been resolved. This car is the main car for our household which includes 4-year-old triplets (one has special needs). Only the operator was in the vehicle when both incidents occurred.
Was told that 2 engine mounts needed to be replaced. One was broken, and the other cracked. Standard maintenance schedule followed. No issue mentioned at during previous service appointments. Normal family driving for vacations and around town only.
Two engine mounts failed at 82,600 miles. I understand it is a common occurrence on this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2004 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine brake service. The dealer discovered that the top motor mount on the passenger side was completely worn and the rubber was fractured. The motor mounts were no longer covered on the vehicle and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000. The VIN was not available. Updated 09/27/11.
Three engine mounts are broken on our Honda Odyssey. This seems to be a very common problem with this model. We have had and currently have other cars that are and were older than this Odyssey and yet the mounts remained in tact. Honda currently refuses to acknowledge that this is a model defect. I have had to shell out close to $1500 to correct their defective parts. I am appalled that they are refusing to recall these parts and on top are charging such high prices to correct it.
Took the vehicle to the dealership for an oil change. Was advised the front engine mount and both side engine mounts were broken. The service advisor said this is a common problem with this vehicle.

It seems that the engine mount issue with the Honda Odyssey should be looked into. After scrolling thru the pages of complaints I noticed there was a complaint on every third page. This look to be either a cash cow for local dealers or a Honda defect. I have had three replaced and currently have been told that I have 2 broken again. Can NHTSA protect us? please do something to help us. If you can't help would we be better off calling a congressman?.
One of the engine mounts broke back in 2005 and had four more broken over the years. I currently have 2 that are broken but will not replace them due to cost and it seems this is a defect due infact to the volume of times they have broken. Toyota has replaced them twice.
When driving at a consistent speed between 30 and 50 mph, engine feels like it is losing power and the tachometer needle fluctuates, this will occur for a few seconds and then return to normal. It seems to happen regardless if the engine is cool or hot. Took to Honda dealer and technician only took the van out for one test drive without experiencing the problem. I told service advisor that the problem occurs intermittently. Took van on July 08, contacted Honda, still no resolution.
After parking the vehicle consumer was unable to restart vehicle. Then, after several hours the vehicle started as if nothing ever happened. Dealer inspected the vehicle twice but, could not find the cause of the problem.
