And then the aftermarket mounts proceeded to fail as well- which the dealership used as a good reason why I should get the Honda Brand ones. Why someone can't just use a non-electric "Just keep the engine in the car" type mount with the technology level of the 1950's is beyond me. Extra fancy now-a-days = extra pricey, and with 2 mounts out now and a current $1300/mount price tag, I'm thinking that I could buy another used 2004 Honda Odyssey that still works with far fewer problems for more than I could get the motor mounts replace, regardless of any other problems.

VCM = Variable Cylinder Management per Honda. Looking back the motor mounts had failed before and at one point had been replaced by the previous owner around 80,000 miles. This seems to be an ongoing issue with the VCM system in hondas as it ruins the motor mounts and is amazingly expensive to replace. This makes me never want to own a car with some sort of cylinder shut off system. Note even before the VCM system caused vibrations brake down the motor mounts you can still feel the vibration and general lack of smooth driving when the VCM system turns on.

So far I had to replace engine mounts 4 times. After first time I get 1 year warranty for parts so basically I have to replace them every year, but I don't have to pay for parts again. Pepboys are the best. I spoke with my friend who works for Honda Service and he told me that not only 2005-2009 models have this problem, new Honda models as well. 2010-2015. It is a case for prosecutor. It is only one way to avoid this problem do not buy Honda again. Dealers shows you middle finger and nobody take car about this problem. My next mini van is going to be Mercedes Vito.

This was the worst vehicle I've ever owned. Nothing but headaches and costly repairs the entire time of ownership. Please do your homework before considering this Honda. This complaint is for the Rear Motor mount which was replaced 3 times in 5 years.

Other issues to mention -

PAX run flat tires (What a joke. $500 each to replace and barley lasted 20k miles with proper rotations) Also no donut or place for a spare. Starter replaced twice AC compressor replaced around 80,000 Auto sliding doors issues with hinge rollers wearing out and sensors in the latch causing the door to not close.

Overall very dissatisfied with Honda quality and dependability, and will probably never own one again.

I went for an oil change sometime around mid of October, 2015. The mechanic gave me a suggestion that soon, I've to replace all my 3 motor mounts. I would say that this is an abnormal condition in 2005 Honda Odyssey. This is the 4th time, I've to pay for motor mounts. The mileage at that time was 101,120. Now, as of January 5th 2016, I see there is some kind of weird loud sound when I start my car and at low speeds I can hear that sound. My guess is I've to replace my motor mounts again, for $1000(small mechanic store) or $1600(Honda Dealer), in about a week or so.
