general problems of the 2009 Honda Odyssey

Twice during the last year, the bolt securing the drive belt tensioner has broken while driving the vehicle. This results in loss of steering, electrical, and cooling of the engine. The first time the incident occurred on a stretch of rural highway where the lone occupant had to wait for help to arrive. The first date was on may 12, 2022. The second incident took place in an urban area on January 25, 2023. But, with only 8 months in between the incidents, it is apparent there is a problem in this. The original repair in may was accomplished by a Honda dealer.

Van was driven at approximately 7:50pm a short distance. After parking vehicle, 10 minutes later the alarm went off. Upon disarming the alarm, the entire engine was engulfed in flames. Van is maintained regularly, no check engine light indicating any issues with vehicle. Entire engine caught fire. Fire dept extinguished fire. No comprehensive insurance so no inspection to cause of actual fire. Neighbors ring camera shows alarm going off and as soon as it was disarmed, engine completely engulfed in flames. This video was sent to fire dept for their report. Vehicle still sitting where it caught fire, in front of my residence. I have yet to get it towed or inspected.

A miss fire in the engine which is causing slow speed when going up a hill or using the air conditioner. If it was to fail while driving it would be not good, could cause an accident. Also need to bring attention that Honda lack of concern for the safety of the driver and other people on the road.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact was that while driving at various speeds, the check engine and low oil pressure warning lights illuminated. Additionally, while idling the vehicle vibrated abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic twice and the spark plugs and ignition coil were replaced however, the failure persisted. The contact then took the vehicle to pensacola Honda (6675 pensacola blvd, pensacola, FL 32505) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the rings in the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the warranty on the vehicle was expired. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 89,000.

The vehicle is consuming a lot of oil. The last 2 times I took it to walmart I was informed there was no oil in my engine. No lights came on, the oil indicator stated I still had life left in the oil. There has been no oil on the ground. This is dangerous as the engine can seize and cause and accident.

While my car was parked at a store, my engine caught fire leading to a total loss of the vehicle. I drove my car for a short distance to do two errands (maybe 15 min. Drive). I parked my car and went in to shop for maybe 15 - 20 minutes. When I came out of the store, black smoke was billowing out from the engine followed shortly after by flames. By the time the fire department was able to put out the fire, the car's engine compartment was destroyed. If this had happened at home while my car was in the garage, my house could have caught fire as well. Thankfully there were not many cars parked close to mine so no other vehicle was affected. My car had the fuel pump replaced with the 2014/5 recall notice. The car had been serviced at the dealer in January and successfully passed a state safety and vehicle emissions test two days before the fire. The fire clearly started in the engine compartment.

While stopped at a 4 way traffic intersection w/light and with foot on the brake, the engine raced on it's own causing the car to surge ahead unexpectantly. I had to take it out of gear to avoid an accident.

3. 5l v6 engine misfire, plugs fouling, piston ring replacement as part of the class action settlement for engine misfire, Honda corp issued a service bulletin to update the pcm software and replace the affected spark plugs. This remedy does not fix the problem. Recognizing the original remedy was not affective, Honda corp issued a service bulletin to extend engine warranty to 8 years or 125,000 miles whichever it comes first. For my specific case, the first time this problem occurred while driving in Aug 2014 with 57,486 miles (mil light on, engine stumbles, loss of power), the Honda dealership serviced my vehicle by following the service bulletin to update the pcm software and replace the affected spark plugs. The 2nd time this problem occurred in Apr 2018 while driving with 112,805 miles (mil light on, rough idle, vibrates excessively while driving), the Honda dealership charged me a fee in excess of $619 to replace foul plugs and v tec switches. The 3rd time this issue occurred while driving on Aug 2018 with 112,805 (mil light on, vehicle vibrates excessively while driving, loss of power and stumble), the Honda dealership is charging me over $1100 to replace piston rings and affected foul plugs. This is a safety issue when the engine is losing power and vibrates excessively while driving. The service bulletin and the extended warranty does not resolve the problem completely and leave the customers with a large cost to repair for something that should be resolved. A safety recall is strongly recommended for the affected vehicles with 3. 5l v6 engines. Many customers are at risk while driving their vehicles with loss of power, stumbles, vibrates excessively, as well as many angry customers are demanding action to resolve this issue completely.

My Honda Odyssey caught fire on may 13, 2018. There was no accident involved. The car just burned itself. The car suddenly stopped in the middle of the road when I was driving at 30 miles per hour at local road. And started to shake. Smoke came out under the engine cover, I opened the engine cover, flame came out as high as 6-8 feet. It was so dangerous. I called the police. Before the fire truck came, some pass by driver throw me some bottle waters. I was able to put down the fire. The car was damaged by the fire. We bought the car new in 2009 from Honda dealer. We always did car maintenance per Honda's requirements at the Honda dealership. No any negligence by owner. We hired a professional car inspector. He found out the fire was caused by the electronic wires connected the alternator. They were the original Honda wires. The car inspection report is attached for your review. The car was later inspected and repaired by the workshop. The technicians confirmed the fire inspection report. The car inspector and workshop both confirmed the fire was caused by the electronic wires used by Honda. The fire caused big damage to my car and posed serious threat to human life. We believe we need to report the accident to help avoid loss of life. We hope Honda can take serious steps to investigate the fire issue and fix any potential problems that may cause fire on Honda car.

Vehicle had charging system light go on (battery light). Battery was not charging and there was a noise near the alternator. Next day, light goes off, battery is charging now, no noise. Two days and 40 miles later, no other lights and no other noise. Vehicle enters highway, makes it about 3 miles when the cruise control shuts off. All lights on the dash come on and shut off. Driver pulls over, starts to see smoke coming out from under the hood. Keeps hood shut and waits for emergency services to arrive on scene. Engine goes up in flames, all seats are burned up, windows blown out, front tires melt. Total loss.

Excess oil useage, fouled plugs. Repairs offered are only a temporary fix, according to my mechanic.

In fall 2016, the dealership addressed a misfire engine reading on my van. I had taken it in at least two other times because of sluggish acceleration or vehicle dying while at a stop. In spring 2017, the van became disabled at an intersection and it was found that the cause was the same misfire code. According to Honda's NHTSA id number: 10099308 manufacturer communication number: we - a13-080, this repair would have been covered. But because of this extended warranty's 8yr from date of purchase timeframe, Honda corp. Denied my repairs because it was three months out of the 8yr extended warranty. I communicated with Honda back and forth urging them to fix the van especially since the repair had been address before and it was three months out of their class action agreement. Ultimately, they denied coverage of any repairs.

During driving in the city or on the highway I've been having an engine misfire with spark plug fouling causing problems resulting in a catalytic converter and O2 sensor replacement. My van is still in the shop and has to be towed to a dealer 46 miles away to see if they can get it to stop spewing oil into the combustion chamber.

Losing a quart of oil every 3 to 4 weeks. No spots on the ground. Engine is consuming oil!.

Front and side engine mounts failed at less than 60,000 miles with regular light use and no accidents. Symptoms were clunking of the engine when shifting into gear and starting and stopping.

Ivtec 3. 5l engine. Touring model. Rear engine mount failure. Aluminum engine mount attachment sheared. No car damage history or abuse. Family car, daily driving around town and highway. Not sure when it failed, but total mileage is 120,000 miles. Owned this car since new. Dealer said the protective boot had torn, and the mount needed replacing. Honda part, $650, completely unreasonable. I bought a part, and replaced it myself, that is when I discovered the part had failed. The dealer refused to remedy the situation, and said engine mounts break all the time. Engine mounts? a primary part of the engine structure? should never fail like this. The part is significantly under designed and should be recalled and reinforced, most likely replace the aluminum with a steel part. Again, not sure when the part failed, could have been that way from the factory for all I know. Have never hit anything or bottomed out the car. Upon inspection of the failed part, it does not appear to be a defect, or fatigue failure, but an overload of the design. I am an engineer and aircraft mechanic. I can give you the failed part if you desire.

While driving on the highway at approximately 70 mph my wife's 2009 Honda Odyssey began to shake as I stepped on the gas the engine light came on and the vehicle lost engine power and I had to manually steer to the side of the highway. . Upon opening the hood I could smell that something was burning. The vehicle was towed 79 miles to my mechanic. I was informed that a spark plug blew out completely and a portion of that plug entered the cylinder and damaged the engine. The entire threading of the spark plug was damaged and melted into the engine. I was informed that the entire engine needs to be replaced.

While opening my tailgate on my Honda Odyssey van yesterday at around 6:00 p. M. It fell down on my head. What would cause that to happen? I did not do anything to try and fix it. The dealership was closed.
