Honda Odyssey Change Vehicle

"same as previously stated"

"caused by rotors"

"I was told the brake failure was due to overheating but we had no such incident that would cause this problem I suspect they were faulty from the factory"

"I am very easy on brakes so the problems I'm having are a design or material problem by Honda. I'm very disappointed in having this many brake issues in 65000 miles. Rotors had to be turned in first few thousand miles, obvious manufacturer problem"

"Brakes have needed replacement or new rotors once every 15,000 miles. We are on 3 set!! Dealer states its is normal for this years Odyssey"

"Rotors were warped needed to be turned"

"The front brake rotors "warped" with only 18000 miles on the vehicle. This caused a severe vibration when applying the brakes"

"warped rotors"

"Wrapped prematurely"

"Almost had to be replace At high speeds car would shimmy when putting on brakes"

"Rotors wear prematurely, warping because they don't dissipate heat, resulting in pulsating and vibrating and a feeling that the car won't stop. Honda claims "they're all like that". Car has had numerous brake jobs in 2-1/2 years"

"No longer flat"

"Front rotors gave vibrations around 20,000 miles. I had to have them turned to fix. Way too early for this"

"Within 20000 miles the car started severely vibrating while applying brakes on a downhill grade. This happened again at around 70000 miles. Rotors were replaced the first time and turned the second"

"Rotors warped after 20,000 miles. From internet search, appears to be a common problem"

"Rotors are warped causing serious vibration especially when braking at highway speeds"

"The rotors kept needing to be "turned" due to warping. Caused steering wheel vibration when braking. Finally Honda dealer replaced the rotors. Took three turnings before rotors were replaced"

"There was significant vibration when brakes were applied at high speed. Rotors had to be turned. Problem is starting to occur again"

"Rotors apparently are prone warppage causing chatter or vibration on brake application. According to my independent mechanic who specializes in Hondas said this is a too common problem that Honda sees to have chosen not to address on the vans, for ye"

"see previous comment on vibration and pulsing"

"rotors were out of round causing braking to "pulsate" - had to have rotors turned"

"All four rotors required resurfacing"

"Excessive vibration at normal speed on long mountain downgrades. Problem began at around 25000 miles and became MUCH worse. Resurface of all rotors has cured the problem for at present total of 30000 miles. Future performance an open question. Downsh"

"Premature warping of rotors on a regular basis"

"Rotors were warped from excessive late breaking...a habit we are working on remedying"

"during long distance drive the steering vibrates while braking"

"Rotors warping. A lot"

"rotors warped after 30k miles. also caused the pads to wear prematurely"

"At about 40000, bad vibration in front wheels while braking at speed. Turned out to be warped rotors. Thought that odd due to gentle use of vehicle"

"they warped causing sever shaking when stopping"

"Rotors warp easily, about every 5,000 miles. Have them turned $200, then okay for another 5-7k. Causes steering wheel shake when braking"

"Rotors warped at 60,000 km"

"Rotors were vibrating at 30k miles. Were replaced under Warranty"

"vibrations/Rotors warped at 47K, dealer turned them down, but at limit. replaced front rotor now at 60K, due to vibrations again (dealer goodwill paid for it). Dealer comment on frequent source of issues on odyssey and pilot, seems like cheap components. $515 list charge to replace rotors and pads - that are cheap to begin with. Pads not worn out completely but replaced, seems rotors wear as fast as pads. Dealer pushes to replace both pads and rotors, and thus expensive brake job. Had to resist"

"Rotors resurfaced by reliable independent garage. Vibration caused replacement after 15,oo miles. Brake pads last about 30,00 miles before replacement"

"Both front rotors warped which caused the pulsation. One had been warped for awhile, but the other warped while driving in the mountains"

"Rotors heat up and brakes pulse"

"Warped rotors caused pulsation when the brakes were applied"

"The front rotors are too light duty for this auto, causing vibration when braking. The vibration is very strong when applying brakes at highway speed. The dealer resurfaced them but the vibration returned after a couple of months. I replaced with non-OEM parts and the problem has been resolved"

"Rotors were turned twice, then replaced at 72000 miles"

"Just had to have all four rotors resurfaced at a cost of $500. Had the same issue with a '12 Accord a few years ago, also around the 60,000 mile mark. Problem caused major vibration and shaking during braking"

"Rotors previously resurfaced and warped after 10000 miles"

"Breaks squeal because of warped rotors and worn linings"

"a clunk in the back right wheel area, only made better by loading up the van"

"Noise in right front of car when turning right. Dealer was aware of issue and has lubricated it twice. Issue resolved"

"constant rubbing noise from left front strut"

"rear shocks leaking at 36,000 miles and had to be replaced"

"Noise from the struts they worked on them 2 times then replaced them"

"Squeaking, they said there was a service bulletin and replaced them"

"struts went out before 50000 mile warranty ran out! Still vibrates when you apply brakes"

"After an inspection, the steering wheel started shaking violently when traveling >50mph. Fixed by covered contract at Honda dealer by replacing shocks. Also, repeated problems with clicking on turning at low speeds"

"When we had oil changed dealer saw that rear shocks were leaking they installed new nes at no charge"

"Leaking shocks. Replaced under warranty"

"Knocking sound from front struts had both fr. assys replaced once, FR assy 2X. The ENTIRE assembly"

"Broken strut. Broke same strut twice. Both covered by warranty"

"Rear shock absorbers leaking, noticed by Honda dealer during routine maintenance. Replaced under warranty. Paid some amount for parts"

"Occanssionally had a popping / spring sound coming from front left shock when turning slowly while going over a bump / parking lot entrance curb. There was a service bulletin that said the strut needed to be greased. They performed the procedure, b"

"Suspension on the vehicle is horrible. Both front axels replaced at 56k miles. Suspension still feels bumpy and rough"

"We've had to replace the struts twice since buying the car - once under warranty and once at our own expense - now there is a constant clicking when turning and the dealership says it's the strut mount that's worn out and they don't think warranty will cover it"

"3rd Honda Odyssey. First to require rear shock replacement at 73000 miles. Others went in excess of 125000 without replacement. May be a comment on condition of Michigan roads"

"The vehicle bounces too much when braking. I believe its a blown strut. Haven't replaced yet"

"They have replaced struts twice now. Solves the problem for a few months then it comes back. Second time I had to fight it. It creaks like an old ship"

"loud creaking of the front suspension to the point of stuttering as the wheel is turned. Known Honda odyssey problem that Honda continues to deny even though there is a service bulletin to address this"

"Separate replacement of each set of struts still does not appear to have resolved a noise problem when turning"

"The car kept creaking and sounded as if the whole back end was falling, At first the dealership said nothing was wrong, finally they agreed there was a problem"

"Replaced front right CV joint under warranty"

"Boots on both axels failed"

"Noise in steering rack, required replacement"

"Made strange sounds when turning. Replaced steering column and struts but did not fix the problem. Finally replaced front axle and it fixed the problem"

"vibration since new that dealer cannot correct. alignment and balancing improve the issue but not completely. Gets considerably worse overtime. At times front end shakes considerably"

"Premature tire wear causes the steering wheel to vibrate at freeway speeds"

"We have had rattles since the second year of ownership. It sounds like the steering is falling apart on rough roads. They repaired it once and it was good for a few months. But is back again"

"When braking above 30 MPH, the vibration in the steering wheel due to warped rotors was a problem"

"Replaced under warranty but concerning that this happened on a Honda product"

"seal leak - replaced axcle"

"The bearings attaching the wheels to the axel were stripped and caused the car to vibrate. Honda replaced these and I've had no problems since then"

"Power steering pump needed to be replaced at about 65k miles for a leak"

"Power steering fluid pan and oil pan seals were corroded and leaking. This did not cause major problems since the car electronic system caught the problem early"

"recall covered under warranty"

"4 cylinder heads redone. Under warranted recall"

"cylinder rings needed to be replaced, it was a recall that was never reported to us, but found out after many tripe to the dealer!!"

"The engine was stalling and running roughly. I took it in for the dealership garage to plug in computer and first was told there was no problem showing. A few days later it acted up again and I immediately went to dealership and they found problems in some of the cylinders and advised me there had been a problem such as this noted in their recalls for those that experienced this problem. They did repairs and I have had no additional problems"

"We had major engine trouble with the Odyssey. It started with an engine oil light and ended with Honda having to take out our engine - twice! There was a problem with the cylinder head. To Honda's credit, they repaired the issue just out of warranty"

"The ECO mode for the engine shuts down 1 or more cylinders when cruising at a stable speed. Oil gets past the rings in this mode and causes the plugs to foul and also has a bad impact on the rings. Our #3 cyclinder stopped working - plug completely fouled. Honda had extended the warrenty for this problem and the did a ring job on 3 of the cylinders for no cost. At the same time they indicated that the could go ahead and change the timing belt. They also noted that the power steering pump ha"

"Engine was misfiring. Repair involving replacing piston rings on certain cylinders was covered under a warranty extension"

"Mechanics said oil leaked through piston rings affecting the sparkplug and they need to replace the rings on pistons 1,2, and 3"

"had to re-ring all cylinders and replace heads due to problem with cylinder-eliminating, gas-saving technology"

"Warranty work was completed on the engine as part of the misfire class action lawsuit against Honda. Engine was tore down to replace the piston rings and other repairs required/recommended related to this issue"

"Warranty service"

"class action lawsuit for engine misfiring, 3 pistons had ring replacement,"

"had engine removed so they could remove three pistons relative to the deactivation ECO mode due to faulty piston rings. Rings were not providing adequate seals and allowing excessive oil blow bye into combustion chamber. Once cylinder would re-fire /"

"Replaced gaskets, bearings o-rings, ring sets, for one or more pistons due to the Honda backfire problem with Odyssey's"

"Assembly / component failure. Engine rings rotated causing loss of compression and oil control, plug fouling, etc. R&R engine at dealer under "warranty", secondary to class action suit against Honda N. A. for same issue in a number of Odysseys"

"Cracks in cylinder walls. Honda said due to how the economy mode was working. Covered under warranty"

"Cylinder deactivation problem required a rebuild of 3 cylinders. Our dealer indicated they have addressed this problem with Odysseys many times"

"Due to problems w/ Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM), 4 of the spark plugs fouled severely and stopped working. This happened TWICE in a three month period, and Honda rebuilt the engine to (hopefully) fix"

"5000 dollar engine rebuild at 85000 miles"

"Piston ring failure"

"Engine required replacement of cylinder # 1-2-3 piston rings due to VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) causing oil to bypass rings leading to fouled spark plugs and misfires. Honda dealer did work for no charge as result of class action suit settlement"

"cylinders 3 and 6 went bad covered under warranty"

"There was a service light. When I brought it in for service I was told there was a recall on the engine for this problem. I believe they replaced the piston rings on one side of the v6"

"The engine was repaired under the piston ring service bulletin. The piston ring gets out of alignment and then oil enters the combustion chamber and fouls the spark plug. This design/part flaw was the subject of a class action lawsuit that resulted in a service bulletin being issued for this failure. The repair did not cost us anything, but was very inconvenient since a loaner van was not offered"

"Had to replace defective head gasket. Under recalled waranty"

"The hydraulic tensioner failed causing major engine damage. This required many days of repairs and most of the engine and components replaced. It was all completed under warranty"
