general problems of the 2005 Honda Odyssey - part 2

We took our van in for servicing and complained to the Honda service representative that we have been experiencing vehicle vibrations that became worse during regular highway speeds when the variable cylinder management (vcm) system shifted from 6 to 4 cylinders and back again. We also started experiencing a distinct "clunk" sound during our vacation trip in late June. The Honda dealership inspected the vehicle and discovered that three motor mounts ("front, rear and side motor mounts") had failed and needed replacing. The repairs were made, as well as an oil/filter change, and vehicle multi-point inspection. The subtotal cost for just the motor mount replacement parts and labor was $987. 13. We discovered searching on the internet that this type of problem, especially with the rear motor, has been reported numerous times by other 2005, 2006, & 2007 Honda Odyssey exl & touring model owners. We are now seeking "goodwill consideration" for all, or most of the motor mount replacement cost, since learning that the Odyssey hasn't been recalled for checks since the 1 December 2006 service bulliten 06-083.

Both latches on sliding doors have been replaced twice now, while driving the doors come unlatched although they do not open they are unlatched and this is a serious safety concern.

Was told by the dealer that my front engine mount is torn and needs to be replaced. After reading some information online, apparently, this is a known problem with Honda Odysseys (even low mileage vehicles). I was wondering why there has not been a recalled issued for Honda Odyssey.

Had to replace a front motor mount in my 2005 Honda Odyssey. My mechanic indicated that he contacted a Honda dealer and they were out of the part because there were several Odyssey's with the same problem. I didn't know how many complaints needed to be launched before a recall notice would be considered. I wanted my vehicle noted since I did not go to a Honda dealer.

"hole" in condenser. Appears this is a known defect with Honda Odyssey 2005 model, but no recall. Will cost $900. 00 to repair. Defroster does not work properly unless repaired. Dangerous to drive in rainy/icy weather.

I have 2005 Honda Odyssey with res. Both the wireless and the wired headphones do not work at all. The only thing you hear is a hissing sound.

Multiple issues and incidents. Overall significant cooling system design flaws combined with tow package install mistakes leave the cooling lines un-secure and unprotected. 2 ac line punctures, 5 power steering grinding repair attempts to no avail.

2005 Honda Odyssey has problems with the back up sensor system. The consumer stated the manufacture uses a small high frequency speaker at the tailgate. The consumer stated it doesn't serve a purpose for those with a frequency hearing loss or if the consumer inadvertently turns it off.
