Honda Odyssey Change Vehicle

"The Harmonic Dampener fall of the engine while stopped at a stop sign. Had to tow the vehicle to Honda."

"When filling up the pump clicks off with 5+ gallons remaining in the tank. About 80 miles. It takes forever to get the last 5 gallons in the tank. The pump pumps so fast it causes spills. Either fix the tank or slow down the gas pump. The tank should fill to capacity without the need for a 5 gallon topping off"

"Engine light kept coming on. Installed 1 new catalytic converter, still came on & went out a few times. Mechanic believes it is a bad sensor"

"Vacuum leak - rusty lines"

"This car has the 3-cylinder cutout feature to reduce gas mileage. The engine has started to lug at 45 mpg consistently"

"Supposedly, a spark plug backed out and was arcing. Dealer service said that replacing plugs was part of scheduled maintenance that should have been done earlier, maybe 15000 miles earlier. Never had plug back out in any vehicle before"

"All three engine mounts failed this year"

"We discovered that rough engine and engine vibration were caused by worn engine mounts. Three mounts support the engine and two support the transmission. Each is a painfully expensive part, and each is violently difficult to access for replacement. We simply deal with the issue"

"It is rediculous to have the edngine run on three cylinders to save gas, yet vibrate so hard that the engine mounts fail, a repair that costs much more than the gasoline savings!"

"Rear hydraulic mount failed, Honda paid for it although car was out of warranty"

"Electronically controlled engine mounts failed. Parts are $1000 without labor"

"When I bought the car in 2012, used, 3 mounts were replaced at a Honda dealer. Again had to be replaced last year"

"All 3 mounts broken, expensive to replace"

"The engine was making a lot of noise and vibration and it turned out to be an hydraulic motor mount failed. The replacement mount was very expensive to replace"

"Had to have 4 engine mounts replaced. Two of them had severe failures, the other two had only cracks"

"Engine mounts need replacing. Cost about $2000. Did not replace. Engine vibrates, but apparently not a safety issue"

"All 3 engine mounts have failed on this car starting at about 50000 miles. Seems to be a design problem as I've been told it's very common. No recalls ever provided"

"Two of the engine mounts had failed and needed replacement"

"Engine mounts have a bulletin issued for leaks to fluid in them. Honda refused to help with the $800 cost of replacing them even though this is a widely reported problem. It's been a hassle to keep this vehicle on the road from the start"

"Rear engine mount has gone bad. It's a $500 part. Without it, when the engine goes into ECO mode, the vehicle experiences annoying vibration"

"Electronic engine mounts stop working resulting in noticeable vibration in the cabin. These are expensive and cost me $2K to replace at an independent shop"

"front of car felt like it was crashing when hitting bumps and I thought it was front shocks only to find out it was engine mounts. Cost me $850 to repair"

"I had two cracked engine mounts but no recollection as to how it may have happened, Engine mounts are not something I would expect to wear out over time"

"One of the engine mounts failed and needed to be replaced. It was expensive because of the computerized nature of these mounts"

"Mounts are electronic and very expensive - failure of one caused failure of additional mount required replacement of all mounts - over $1,500"

"The front and right engine mount required replacement"

"Mounts deteriorated sooner than one would expect. Very dissapointing"

"I have replace two of these engine mounts and now have two more to replace and they want over 1000 bucks for each. they are a RIP OFF"

"I needed to replace 3 or 4 engine mounts at several hundred dollars each. My car dealer son-in-law said that sounded way too high. I put that off until I really needed it. This appears to be a regular problem with Hondas or Odysseys. Very costly"

"Very expensive; Car came from New Jersey and the potholes destroyed them, in my opinion."

"Two things. Some years ago there was significant vibration especially in ECO mode. It was the rear motor mount. Replaced. So much better--less noise and vibration. Then when starter went out, mechanic found right motor mount falling a part. Replaced. Less vibration now."

"The variable cylinder feature appears to cause extra strain on engine mounts leading to more frequent replacement than on other Honda engines without this feature."

"Replaced all engine mounts"

"Engine AND transmission mounts failed. Cost $2K to fix in a 13 year-old car with over 240K miles. Honda parts are EXPENSIVE and there's a lot of labor because things are always in the worst places."

"engine mount second time replaced; first time was at 90K miles"

"Gas leak from the tank area when full and parked on an incline"

"Fuel pump issue under recall"

"Indicator light for gas cap problem kept coming on. Replaced time belt along with problem with air conditioning belt"

"Factory recall and repair"

"Started leaking oil from the passenger side of the engine"

"Had to replace rear main seal"

"Has had this problem for a couple years. Was told may need new engine. Seems that this problem should not occur on a Honda of this age"

"Oil leaked from two different places"

"Told by Honda dealer the oil pump gasket is leaking and it is customary to change the oil pump at the same time as the gasket. Brought to a private garage and they cleaned the area and thought it was not a leak and ask me to bring it back in 30 days"

"The axle boots were leaking, but the car has high mileage so this is not surprising"

"Small leaks, but enough to leave marks on concrete driveway. Eventually corrected by local shop"

"We have a oil leaking from a spool valve that will cost $700 to fix. After talking to the mechanic decided it was more economical to just check oil levels monthly and top up as needed."

"Engine burns oil quite a bit. If I don't check it regularly, I will get a check engine warning light."

"Replacing the gasket stopped the oil leak."

"value cover gasket"

"Oil leaking from various seals that are wearing out. Changed a few, DIY fashion."

"Van burns excessive oil but no warning light. Engine subsequently vapour locks."

"Leaks are more frequent. Rear of motor lots of leaks. Not going to fix due to cost."

"Head gasket needed to be replaced. The oil leaked into the spark plugs and ignition coil."

"The bumpers has always had a problem with the clips and it falling off on one side. It was not hit or we did not hit anything with it. It seems to be designed poorly"

"Bumper tabs don't hold bumper sides on"

"The two front fenders became separated from the other sections and had to be reattached. The front plastic sections are very easily damaged. They need to be made of stronger material"

"Panels in the next to bumper and in front of wheel wells would come loose"

"Wind dam under front end damaged while parking, replaced and came off again. Wheel well lining rt front also separated from fender"

"Exterior and bottom trim falling off the car"

"Door trims fall off"

"The molding on the drivers side windshield pops out."

"Molded plastic under the front end and in wheel wells came loose and had to be removed."

"Front of car was low enough to hit car stops in parking lot that it caused the under protector of the front to break loose and eventually fall off."

"Gasket on body (passenger side) by rear door tore loose"

"The rubber interior sliding door molding near the floorboard continues to become bent and damaged resulting in replacement"

"General paint failure in multiple areas of the car. No warrantee. I am touching up with after market spray paint"

"Metallic Blue. Honda did offer warranty repainting, focusing on horizontal (flat surfaces). Quality of repairs has been very poor and large sections of paint along rooflines, doors, etc. are continuing to peel and flake. Will continue to seek satisfaction thru the repair shops warranty"

"Finish paint peeled off sliding door following a repainting under warrantee. The color is dark blue. Honda would not repaint the peeling area again. Other areas had been repainted previously by a different shop under warrantee and these areas did not peel again. The first sop was fine but the second shop was a bad job"

"The was a recall on the paint for our blue minivan. However, the paint job is already starting to fade. Some top surfaces were missing in the recall repaint and have started to flake off"

"TOP OF VAN HAS FADED AS WELL AS THE REAR TOP OF THE HATCH. STRIPPING WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. WENT TO HONDA AND VOWED NEVER TO RETURN TO THIS DEALERSHIP AGAIN"

"Paint is peeling off of hood"

"Paint is peeling off in large sheets"

"Paint is flaking away - peeling and rusting - around the wheel wells"

"In the south Florida sun the clearcoat is dissolving"

"My car had a paint recall and the dealership dealt with the paint that was falling off twice. On the third time, they said my car was too old, too many miles and so I have large patches with no paint"

"Blue paint on 2005 Odysseys peels off. It's a primer issue from the factory"

"Paint on roof peeled away by the windshield and is down to bare metal."

"Paint pealing on roof and hood"

"Partial repaint done in 2010. Paint problem with dark blue paint. Painted under warranty but chipping off again."

"multiple areas of paint failure"

"Peeling paint and lack of primer in numerous areas. Rust around wheel well joints."

"paint has come off the hood along the creases and is rusting beneath. It has alsoo peeled off carious parts of roofline and some of that is rusting as well."

"Front hood and back hatch the clear coat has failed. Rust is now on both rear quarter panels above wheel well"

"Within the past 12 months, paint started to fade. I usually kept the car well cleaned"

"We've been told that the blue paint on the Honda is known to peel and that Honda no longer uses the exact color/formula on any of its vehicles. The only way to resolve the problem is the strip and repaint the entire vehicle."

"Clear coat coming off. rust in both rear quarter panels"

"Where the rear quarter meets the side of the rear bumper just behind the rear wheel is a trap that rusts on this vehicle. A design flaw"

"Rust penetrating top of passenger side wheel wells"

"There is rust at the rear edge of the right rear wheel well. This is not an area where a lot of salt is used nor has this vehicle ever been used for commuting. There should not be an isolated area of rust on this low mileage vehicle"

"Bubbling rust spots growing quickly at rear wheel wells"

"Rust just starting to show, especially at base of driver's window frame but otherwise pretty good for a 12 year old van. Has had Krown rustproofing every year since new"

"Two small rust areas"

"Car is rusting over the wheel well on outside. Car was given full rustproofing treatment at the time of purchase. This was brought to the attention of the dealership a year ago and they said it wasn't covered"

"The van quarter panel has developed an area of rust"

"small bubbles of rust are forming above the wheels and front panels"

"Rust on body above rear tires"

"Several areas of body rust that body shop says are "normal" for this make/model vehicle"

"rust around rear wheel wells"

"It's actually my fault - result of a small nick"

"Even though we had our van rust proofed, keep it in a heated garage, wash quite often and stay of gravel it still rusted around the rear wheel wells."

"Rust on right rear quarter panel. Have seen same problem on many other 3rd generation Odysseys."

"paint is bubbling up on the left rear quarter panel"

"Car was rusty due to being in the northern part of the country. Only back fenders behind the wheels."

"On the floor of the passenger side where the panels come together in the corner, water leaks in from under the van during rain (or washing). It's more likely to come in while driving or when the van is facing downhill, so it must be collecting in a s"

"Water leaks into rear cargo area, possibly from tailight or roof areas"

"Cracks in taillight allow water in which then gets in car"

"Water is leaking into the real well & the dealer cannot figure out where it is leaking from, but it's just on the bottom, so it's not coming in from the top"

"Water leaking rear window?"

"Water accumulates inside the trunk door and leaks out when we open it after a heavy rain! No water gets inside the car."

"The driver's side seal along the roof beneath the roof rack has displaced, allowing rain to leak into the cabin proximate to the driver's side side airbag."

"When it rains and car is parked on a slope with front lower than rear, water gets into rear lift-gate door. The push button to operate the door became inoperable and had to be rewired/replaced."

"Water leaks in from (?) on drivers side onto fuse panel. This causes multiple issues from blinker and head lights not working to Traction control lights flashing."

"Seals and weather stripping are failing and falling off of the vehicle in many areas"

"Weather stripping on right front passenger door is coming loose"

"Seals on automatic rear doors are causing problems with the doors shutting properly"

"Quite a bit of water leaked through the seals on the rear hatch during rain storms and then had to be drained from the hatch by opening and closing it several times. It took 2 visits to the dealership before they determined and fixed the causes. One"

"Water inside vehicle on Drivers Side after a Hard Rain. Moisture in Rear Seat Storage Area after taking vehicle to Car Wash"

"Body is not properly sealed. After rain the back door was leaking always. Honda told me they don't see a problem. Now on the left hand side water goes from the air bag cup, I think, located right above the eye line on the left post beside the windsh"

"Weather stripping is coming loose and flapping when driving on one of the sliding doors. We have chosen to do nothing as we don't use this car as much."

"Leak into the from passenger seat/compartment from the sunroof due to a clogged drain. Service shop fixed the clogged drain."

"Scraping noise upon accelerating. Was told it was from heat shield being rusty. Paid to have it fastened but it still makes sound"

"After replacing the tie rods and realignment...no more squeaks"

"The 2 side sliding doors rattle a bit. There were some small rubber shock absorbing/stabilizing rubber pieces for each door. On one side hey fell out and are gone, the other side I noticed that the rubber part had melted and run down the metal"

"passenger side rear door has rattled since new. Repaired rwice under warranty but reocourres"

"There are numerous squeaks and rattles throughout the interior. They have existed since the van was new, but have gotten worse as the miles have accumulated"

"loose cover for catalytic converter"

"heat shields rattle"

"There is a weird noise coming from the front end that happens occasionally. Dealer/mechanic cannot figure out what is causing it"

"There's a broken bracket supporting the tube from the engine to the catalyst. Very expensive to fix due to location"

"Since purchasing the vehicle new we have had issues with squeeks and rattle from the dash board glove box area"

"Old car but still functional"

"Age of vehicle"

"Turns out that the engine mounts in these vehicles crack and the engine drops out. This is the 2nd time I've replaced the engine mounts."

"Rattle near glove compartment area"

"There is a whistling sound, we have tried to have it fixed numerous times and it is never fixed. Water gets in sometimes too."

"The 2005 Odyssey has a problem with wind noise at the drivers side window from the first day of ownership. We understand it is caused by turbulence that begins at the drivers side mirror that collides with the window trim and weather-stripping. We have never had this problem remedied"

"rubber stripping around windshield came loose and now makes annoying whistling noise"

"Excessive wind noise from windshield that has plagued this model"

"Windshield leaks result in wind noise"

"From the beginning wind noise has been louder than in any other vehicle owned"

"Inherent windshield noise issue on 2005 model - had repaired outside of warranty/TSB alert. Sloppy repair job from dealer - had to take back 15 months later for as repair failed"

"Wind noise around doors and front winsow"

"Steering wheel vibration at higher speeds, esp. around 60 mph.which may be due to balance or alignment problems. Wind noise and/or ROAD NOISE"

"The van has always had a while noise from around the windshield that the dealer could not located"

"Driver and passenger doors have wind noise, adjusting doors did not work"

"A whistling sound comes from the dash above 35 mph."

"rear pad on one wheel wore down to metal contact with rotor, required new rotor as well as pad. Had both rear brakes serviced"

"Needed replacement from normal wear and tear. Font brake pads only"

"I want to brag about the excellent brakes in my Odyssey. The original front brake pads lasted 136,000 miles! My driving is easy on brakes, but I've never had pads last this long. Rear pads lasted 100,000. See why I love this Odyssey!"

"well, after many thoUSnds of miles the pads and rotors had to be replaced"

"My front brakes were retooled and replaced for the first time in 155000 miles. I consider this an amazing reflection of the quality of Honda"

"No problems just routine brake pad and rotor replacement"

"Hadn't had the brake pads changed out in quite a few years so it was just time"

"They can be somewhat noisy"

"this vehicle seems to eat brake pads like it's breakfast cereal"

"180,000 finally had to replace the brakes. simple as that"

"Since purchasing this car it seems that the brakes need to be repaired much more quickly than on any other car I have owned. Overall I have spent much more on car repairs for this Odyssey than I ever envisioned, over $18000.00 in repairs. This inc"

"had brakes replaced & master cylinder replaced a couple of years ago. Have never worked the same - replaced again and car continues to move forward sometimes when stopped and I have to press hard on the brake to make it stop"

"Normal Use"

"Technician inspected brakes and recommended replacement. I took advantage of a promotion. I could have waited 5,000 more miles. Brakes were performing adequately at the time."

"Nothing. Honda dealership diagnosed need for brakes. Not unusual for 100000 miles."

"no problem, just impressed how well the brakes lasted!"

"Normal wear on the rear brakes. Front brakes still within tolerance"

"Brakes replaced after only 30000 miles of previously replacing brakes. Current mechanic said previous mechanic did not replace rotors. Old rotors caused brake life to be shortened."

"Parking brake sticks on"

"The parking brake seems to stick/seize every now and then causing premature wear on the brake rotors and calipers."

"Wearing too quickly"

"Discs warped within 19 months of having brakes replaced"

"As hoses age they get soft and bulge and get mushy. Brake petal gets closer to floor before stopping car. ALSO brake petal is too close to the accelerator allowing wide feet to push BOTH PETALS at same time, esp during sudden stop. Must lift offending foot and replace it to the right to stop the car. New cars have same problem. FOOLISH!"

"Replaced rotors about 5 years ago. The van hasn't been driven hard so I don't think new rotors should be required again"

"Rotors went 'untrue' and had to be machined. That's all"

"Replaced the rear rotors at 159830 miles"

"Wearing too quickly"

"The rotors developed cracks all over the surface of both front rotors"

"Uneven brake pad wear; routine "jerking" when applying brakes"

"Rotors were warped and brakes pulsed during braking"

"Second time warped rotors have to be resurfaced, quality of rotors is insufficient for the weight of the vehicle"

"Replaced due to shimmy"

"I think I had new rotors replaced. I also think the rotors have been "shaved" to make them more even and reduce the vibration"

"They were worn and needed to be replaced"

"rotors keep wearing unevenly and at a faster rate than expected"

"Routine repair, best car we ever owned"

"Breaks on vehicles are undersized, overheat, and cause rotors to warp. This seems to be standard design on cars & vans."

"2nd pair of rotors warped. We do not ride the brakes; mechanics said the car is too heavy for the rotors if you live around hills."

"Brakes went bad very quickly and had to be replaced. Started with squeaking, went on to squealing and vibration before I could get it into the shop"

"A pebble became lodged in the brakes and had to be removed"

"The brakes make squeaking noises now & then & I have always thought that the brakes were too loose"

"I push "play" for a CD and nothing happened. It holds 5 cds"

"CD stuck in player"

"second time CD stopped working"

"CD is stuck in changer. Can't use CD player and it will cost more to fix than replace"

"CD will not eject, will only play 1 or 2 songs depending on the day, and then won't play or eject"

"CD Player skips all the time. It has not worked well for years now"

"The CD player went out 3 times already and cost me an average of $290.00 to fix"

"Player will not load or unload. Play button failure also"

"The multidisc cd player has scratched cd, and now doesn't play them. It is also, when tuned to the radio, switches .2 lower during the first few minutes of a drive. So we can't use the cd player, the radio and there is no interface for an MP3 player"

"Never ejected the last CD inserted."

"The display screen freezes, which is a problem for being able to use the rear view camera but also to access the sound settings and other controls, such as the clock"

"This is one manifestation of the other problem - the screen begins to start up with ignition, but goes & stays blank immediately afterward"

"The display screen on my Honda Odyssey would not work because the GPA Navigation system was broken. Once that was fixed the screen came back on."

"The entire GPS unit ceased functioning a few years ago. It costs in excess of $1000 to repair it, which we feel is not a reasonable expense, particularly since they can't even guarantee that it is reparable until they begin to disassemble it"

"Babi stopped working entirely"

"CD does not read"

"CD does not repad"

"Nav has failed 2 times in two years... the disc player under the driver's seat controls the nav, clock, display, voice commands, clock, compass, and xm radio and most importantly, the back up camera display. Honda dealership wanted 3K to fix/replace"

"It quit working affecting the back-up camers"

"The dealer said they could replace the GPS Navigation system for $3,400. I am not able to pay that much. My grandson is a mechanic so he ordered a used one on the internet and replaced it for me. The cost was $220 including shipping costs. Since the screen wouldn't work without the navigation system it meant that the backup camera didn't work either. Everything works perfectly now."

"GPS/Nav system screen says Downloading software and then Check disk. Even though this should just affect navigation, it completely disables the touch screen so you can't control the radio with it, or change any settings (even the clock can't be changed). The disk is spotless. I removed the player (from below the driver's seat, very hard to get to, especially all the cables), and cleaned the lens per instructions on a YouTube video, but still doesn't work. Ordered a remanufactured DVD player online for about $300, hoping that will solve the issue."

"when indash nav system failed the info screen locks on to check disk and prevents backup camera view, audio control view, any other function of the info screen"

"Kids remotes never worked well or the headsets"

"The Systems indicates that there is a DVD Loaded, but I can't eject or play it"

"Again since purchasing the vehicle new in 2005 we have had on and off again issues with the rear entertainment system (DVD) player. Primarily the headphones (Audio) would not function properly"

"DVD player stopped working last year"

"Wireless headphones stopped working completely. Changed, batteries, etc. They simply do not work anymore."

"left tweeter stopped working and emitted noise"

"all were affected by the nav. /disc player failure. all these features should not be tied to that one component"

"CJ Joint leaking, axle had to be replaced"

"boots split and needed replacement"

"inner boots on both c/v axles gave way and car started vibrating at highway speeds"

"both cv joints replaced due to wear (14 years)"

"CV joints should not go bad at 80000 miles, we tow a small trailer but it weighs less than half the tow capacity of the vehicle. We had an independent shop do the work as a favor for my son for half the dealership price. Very satisfied with the work"

"both cv joints and front wheel bearings needed to be replaced between 300,000-325,000 km. This was not a recommendation I inspected them and found them to be failing and vibrating badly."

"front left cv boot torn, leaking"

"wear noise had to replace"

"The motor mounts replaced because they were broken and had to be replaced for a state safety inspection. After replacing them to car has serious vibration problems. My research shows that this is a typical problem for a 2005 Honda Odysseys having to do with their motor mounts"

"Active engine mount failed, was reimbursed for repair by Honda"

"While driving on vacation the entire car started shaking when accelerating uphill at about 65 MPH. Coming off the gas would settle things down but it would start up again. It made it unsafe to maintain highway speeds of 65-75 MPH"

"Not much to say on this one. The car whines, increasing with speed, and has a minor vibration at speed. We put up with it; we don't foresee repairing it if it fails completely."

"There is still a constant minor vibration and sound when under acceleration, even after replacing both cv joints and front wheel bearings which turned a major vibration into a minor one."

"driveline vibration, replaced both front driveshafts"

"leaking boot"

"The right front axel has been replaced 2 times, at 26000 and 80000 miles"

"The vibration was ultimately diagnosed as coming from the driver side drive axle. The original shaft did not have the seal band attached tightly enough to keep the grease in the CV joint. Over the years it slowly escaped causing excessive wear"

"Front and rear wheel bearings"

"had to have both axles replaced at approximately 127000 miles"

"Wheel bearing needed replacement."

"The a/c relay stuck open and drained the battery as in a parasitic drain. So the battery would go dead over night"

"Replace faulty A/C Relay and recharge system with A/C Refrigerant."

"When the road is slippery, the vehicle automatically takes control away from the driver. This loss of control caused my vehicle to not stay on the road when we came to a curve at approximately 25 mph."

"Had to replace all three catalytic converters at approx. 185000 miles"

"Catalytic Converters (2) failed"

"Had to replace catalytic converter. Very expensive"

"Check engine light - had to pay ~ $120 to get it read. The problem is my catalytic converter(s) need to be replaced. Since I'm planning to but a new car, and the repair would cost about the amount the car is worth, is haven't had the repair done."

"All 6 cylinder misfire codes and catalytic converter code. Did not fix these problems - too expensive, but car will not pass next smog test."

"Cat needs replacement"

"Check engine light comes on, release fuel cap, refuel, tighten cap, wait 3 days, and light goes off"

"recall on cap on fuel pump"

"My Odyssey was part of a recall where my fuel pump was replaced"

"Fuel pump was replaced, reimbursed by Honda, now Honda requires we take the car in and have the fuel pump replaced again!"

"recall repair"

"Something around the fuel pump is leaking fuel"

"Pump was leaking, replaced under Factory recall"

"Was covered under warranty"

"Smell of gas throughout the interior cabin. Fuel pump needed to be replaced. No complaints on my part since the car is 14 years old."

"O2 Bank 1 sensor 1 needed to be replaced"

"Sensor failed at about 153000 miles but had been previously replaced at about 120000. First sensor lasted 120000 miles 2nd only about 33000 miles"

"front primary oxygen sensor failed (no longer responsive) and was replaced"

"My check engine light will come on, and then it goes off again and goes back on. I never know when it will go on and off. I was told it was a catalytic converter that had to be replaced. I think the dealer said there were 3 or 4 catalytic converters"

"Primary problem was a catalytic converter but one O2 sensor was bad also. 200,000 + miles on it, can't complain"

"it occurred numerous times"

"Had to replace one of the catalytic converters. Cost $750"

"Needed to replace it to qualify for emissions. Has been lighting up the check engine light for two years, but this is the first year we had to pass an emissions test. Did not impact drive of car but was expensive"

"Needed to be replaced"

"One of three catalytic converters needed replacement"

"Catalytic converter failed. Replacement parts are super expensive making the repair unlikely due to the age and overall value of the vehicle."

"i can't complain it lasted 200k miles"

"Check engine light came on. Car passes inspection-did not repair"

"My check engine light comes on occasionally, then goes off. The mechanic cannot identify why, and hypothesized that is may be the catalytic convertor causing the problem."

"Catalytic converter and adjacent parts are rusted together. To fix pinhole leak requires replacement of multiple paets cosrinh more than $1000"

"It developed a small exhaust leak after owning the vehicle for 10 years. It's going into the shop for repairs next week"

"The mount points for shields rusted away"

"Rusted to the point where it moves when I accelerate, hitting the catalytic converter"

"Fixed on 2 visits"

"SRS light comes on intermittently. Dealer diagnosed a defective sensor but said that replacing it might not fix the problem."

"Airbag warning light came on while the car was still under warranty (~ 2 yrs). I never got around to having it fixed thinking it was under a safety recall. Much later I had all safety recall issues fixed, but this problem wasn't among them, so I have no idea whether the airbags will work in an accident."

"Intermittently airbag warning light turns on."

"exhaust pipe failed, resulting in excessive noise"

"Flex pipe is rusted out. Never had this happen on any car....and I hold on to my cares for at least 10 years"

"metal mesh sleeve had holes"

"Vibration when converter is not locked up."

"3rd transmission for this vehicle"

"Car would not go with motor on. Got towed and had to get a different transmission which is used"

"Tiny crack in aluminum case at a high-pressure point. Cost $5K for rebuilt replacement"

"Honda Odyssey transmissions and torque converter are notoriously bad. Unfortunately mine failed after the warranty period expired - so had to pay $5,000 out of pocket"
