This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While stopped in traffic, engine began hard acceleration and front tires began screeching. This occurred 4X within 10 days. With each experience there was no warning. It was fortunate that foot was on brake pedal at that time.
While traveling on the highway and approaching speeds between 45mph to 65mph the entire car started to shake violently, as if the car was going to fall apart. I immediately brought it to an independent dealer and I was informed the engine motor mounts were failing.
When we were traveling out West, we started to notice a distinct "whine" in the engine compartment. After returning home and having driven thousands of miles, we took the car to the dealer and discovered that the rear motor mount had broken and was causing the fan to make a noise when the engine itself "heaved" upon accelerating. It cost $1100 for the repair. I am filing this complaint because there are several similar complaints on here, and there probably should be a recall before someone gets seriously injured.
I was driving about 60 mph on a highway when my 2006 Honda Odyssey began shaking and vibrating. The shaking was so bad the rearview mirror became loose and eventually fell off the front window. If I would have had a coffee cup sitting in the beverage holder the rearview mirror would have splashed hot coffee on my shorts and down my leg. This same situation would occur if I would have had a toll-road transponder attached to the windshield just below the rearview mirror. This is the second time an engine mount has failed on my Honda Odyssey. I paid $1,706.13 to replace a failed engine mount on August 6, 2014.
On multiple occasions the car would jerk violently when decelerating from 20 to 10mph. In addition, when driving from 25 to 40mph the car would shake violently S if was going to explode. Needless to say this was very unnerving and I did not feel safe with my family in this car. I took it to the Honda dealer and was told my rear and front motor mounts were cracked and needed to be replaced. At the time the car only had 80K milres on it. Total cost was over $1,200. Ow, at 170K miles it is doing the same thing! brought it to the dealer and they're telling me my motor mounts are cracked, again! I am extremely disappointed the NHTSA has not made this a recall.

Broken engine mount. Because of that the car is not safe to drive with family. I have seen most of Honda Odyssey are experiencing same problem and manufacture are not fixing this issue.
Loud clunking sound coming from under the drivers engine side - had car checked and mechanic replaced motor mounts, but still making same noise - almost sounds like engine will drop out at any moment. Also when traveling on highway at speeds of 55 or higher, van will shake uncontrollably and also randomly at low speeds when just starting from a complete stop. I do not feel safe with my children in the van under these conditions, from reading complaints, it definitely sounds like Honda should be responsible for this malfunction.
The rear lower motor mounts wear out prematurely and cause unwanted vibrations and steering play. This is a known issue and has not been rectified. The dealership charges $800 to replace the defective parts.....updated 11/13/15 updated 11/17/15.
Broken engine mounts. I fixed the front one in Nov 2014. The engine is now rattling while it is idling. I am now being told that the front engine mount needs replacing as well as the rear one. I have seen many Honda chat boards and many others are experiencing this same problem and Honda is not stepping up to help this systemic problem. Hoping this kicks them into gear.
It started with a loud clunk noise coming from the engine area anytime I turned a corner or drove over a bump in the road. It started happening all the time. Took it in and was notified that the engine mounts were going out. I was quoted $1900 to replace all 5!! now my car shakes violently on the freeway going 60 mph. This is indicative of the engine mounts breaking. This is a major defect!! this needs to be a safety recall. I have read many complaints about this. Honda needs to be responsible for the repairs!
Motor mounts failed causing violent shudder at highway speed. I've seen hundreds of complaints online about this problem on Honda Odyssey with low miles. It should be recalled as this is defect.
Brought van in for tire rotation, and was informed that 2 of the motor mounts were torn/broken and needed to be replaced-possibly all 4! have noticed serious wobble and thought it had to do with suspension...was quoted $800 to fix 2 motor mounts.

There was excessive vibration of vehicle and we took it to Honda dealership in raleigh, nc and were told the front and rear engine mounts have all collapsed. We have also been informed that this is a very common problem in Odyssey's. this needs to be a safety recall.
My 2006 Honda Odyssey went up in flame, while I was driving the vehicle, on 10/11/14. Insurance had me tow it to the Honda dealer. After Honda having the car for 31 days the insurance paid the repairs & I paid my $500 deductible. I'm ready to drive my Honda Odyssey away on 11/13/14, and I notice the van began to shake violently and the RPM's dropped to almost 0. no report was given to me about what was wrong with van & what future repairs had to be done. All I got was the present repairs due to the fire, even after we had asked them to do a full inspection of the vehicle. Prior to the fire the van never shook, it never had this problem before. While there, they performed the changing of the fuel pump which had been recalled by Honda, but now we can not be sure that it was done nor can we be sure that it didn't affect the cars status now. Honda still has the van in their lot & insurance adjuster went to see the car and now Honda is saying that the shaking of the car has nothing to do with the fire. According to Honda's final report the "probable" cause of fire was in the alternator area -sub-cord alternator to fuse box. Honda said the shake is caused by the rubber motor mounts. I tried to tell Honda they are rubber pieces and when rubber comes in contact with heat it melts. Honda will not fix without me paying out of pocket. If the problem really is the motor mounts, I have researched that many people are awaiting a recall from Honda on the motor mounts for the fact that theirs prematurely fails. Honda has us on a back and fourth. If they can't be sure what caused the fire and are disregarding the motor mounts going bad due to the fire or the fuel pump recall, then how can they be sure that none of the above is not causing the violent shake on the van.
On 10/10/2014 while driving the car through an intersection going 45 mph the dashboard lights and the engine shut down. The vehicle would not start and we narrowly avoided an accident while coasting through the intersection. The vehicle would not start again and we pushed the vehicle into a parking lost space. While waiting for someone to jump the car the vehicle start again. Again on 10/11/2014 while turning into a shopping center parking lot the vehicle's engine shut off without warning and would not start again. This again almost resulted in an accident. At this time we consider this vehicle no safe to operate if the vehicle will shut off while driving without warning. There are numerous stories like this happening with honday Odyssey on the internet.
My van has never been in an accident yet the rear engine mount collapsed and made my engine shake back and forth causing a vibration during driving. They tell me this happened because of stop and go driving. I know many people who own these vans and all of them have had to have this faulty part replaced. It should be recalled. The repair cost over one thousand dollars and it took them less than 1 1/2 hours to fix.
