Odyssey 2006 3.5 has transmission problems. Torque converter needs replacing. When driving there is hardly any acceleration when you apply gas. Catalytic converter and gaskets are faulty. Ignition coil needs replacing before its time. And there is an issue with purge valve that mixes the fuel while driving.
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. While driving various speeds and when parked on an incline, the contact detected an abnormal odor of fuel emerging from the second row seats. Additionally, there was fuel leaking from underneath the vehicle. The contact called parker johnstone's wilsonville Honda (30600 sw parkway ave, wilsonville, or 97070, (503) 985-6958), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.
I am having a problem with the power steering freezing up on slow turns and the transmission torque converter clutch is stuck making the car transmission heat up and quit until it cools down, I was stuck on the side of the road 4X for this. Once with my 97 yr old brother in law and 79 yr old sister.they want $4000 to fix this. The driver side sliding door cable broke also.I had the run flat pax tires on it when it was purchased, I was not told that I would have to drive at least 100 to 200 miles to get them changed out as they need a special machine to fix them. I had to buy new rims and tires for $1500. I have 125,000 miles on the car. I will never buy or recommend a Honda to anyone.
I was driving fine, all of a sudden, the engine just completely shut down and there was no power. Turn on again, it worked. Drive for 2 miles, it totally shup down again. No power, nothing.
I had all motor mounts replaced April of last year and now in February of 2019 I had replace the back motor mount again. Now I have yet another motor mount going bad. This is ridiculous. The 06 Honda odessey needs to be recalled. Even my mechanic said that he sees this all the time with the 06 odesseys
Horrible vibration in eco mode due to vcm (3 cylinders shutting down) at all speeds. Noticed vibration when speed exceeds 50 mph. Honda dealer noted this is most likely due to eoo mode but vibration is too much to be normal. Vibration increases in intensity when accelerating above 50 mph. 5 service inspections and master technicians cannot diagnose problem(s)yet. Engine mount failure noted by other owners describe the problem precisely.
Dealer states front engine mount needs to be replaced after only 74,000 miles. "motor mount - front: Worn out" is the exact statement. A simple web search yields numerous references to broken or worn out motor mounts on Honda vehicles with 6 cylinder engines. At what point does the NHTSA take notice" when does Honda take responsibility for this issue"
In motion the engine was making a loud rattle as if something was hitting the vehicle's fan. Turns out it is the camshaft position sensor. Because there is a tsb out my extended warranty company is refusing to cover this repair that runs over $3K.
The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. While driving at low speeds, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the vehicle stalled intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with electrical failures. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000. The VIN was not available.
Engine mount failure: 3 motor mounts have failed. The car mechanic says he only changes motor mounts on Odyssey and no other car has same issue with the mounts. I googled motor mount failure and it is quite a lot of complaint S and I'm wondering if the Odyssey has so many issue with motor mounts why have they not been recalled. If not fixed there are catastrophic issues and possible loss of life. I like my car, for the most part but it seems to have many issues, some recalled. It's frustrating and costly.
The spark plug blew out of the cylinder head while driving on a major 8 lane highway at 65 mph. If I didn't react quickly & there was a car to the right of me, I very easily could've been in a dangerous accident. Unsure if there was any engine damage.
The fluid filled motor mounts that come on the exl/touring model have both failed and fluid leaked out. The concept behind these electronically controlled motor mounts is to dampen the vibration when the van goes into eco mode reducing the active cylinders from 6 to 3. when these mounts fail the van vibrates considerably in the eco mode. I googled the issues and see that their are many others with this same issue from year 2005 -2007 at all different levels of mileage. The cost of repair through Honda is over $1800. I have never seen such a run on motor mounts as I have when trying to research the issue which makes me thing there is a engineering/design flaw. Left un-repaired and Honda told me that the vibration can cause many other issues rendering the van unsafe to drive.
