40 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem of the 2002 Honda Odyssey

Failure Date: 12/02/2003

I was picking up the vehicle after the local dealer completed the recall to replace the timing belt tensioner. I accelerated to merge with traffic and the check engine light and tcs light came on. I immediately returned to the dealer to have the car checked out. The next day the service advisor called to tell me the reason the lights came on was because of high oil pressure. They said the oil filter may be clogged and they recommended that I have the engine oil and filter changed, which I did, but I am not convinced that is the cause of the problem. I change the oil and filter regularly when the indicator flashes on the dash board. The light came on when the engine rpm was about 4500 to 5000.

Counter balance shaft seal popped out. Oil was pumped out of engine rapidly. We discovered by finding pool of oil under left front tire. Dealer repair was prompt.

Their attitude was "not our fault" . I asked what they would do if engine had blown. Their response was "to probably deny claim since the engine would have to be driven with the engine light on.
