VAN EXPERIENCES NOTICEABLE NOISE AND VIBRATION AS IS SHIFTS IN AND OUT OF THE ECO PHASE OF ENGINE OPERATION. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT REQUIRED MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT AND AFTER RESEARCH, A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS APPARENTLY ISSUED BACK IN 2006 ON THIS ISSUE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE ON THE 2005 TIME FRAME ODYSSEYS. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED THRU HONDA VIA RECALL! *TR

THIS IS A NEW CAR PURCHASED AND SERVICED BY THE DEALER FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY (12/28/04). THE HONDA SERVICE DEPT DID NOT DISCOVER THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS UNTIL IT MALFUNCTIONED. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL. I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE DOCUMENTS TO PROVE IT. THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD LIKE ME TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THEIR NEGLIGENCE CAUSED THIS AUTO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CONSUMER STATED A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE DEALER STATED IT WAS A WIRING PROBLEM AND FIXED IT. HOWEVER, THREE DAYS LATER, THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN IT WAS PUT IN DRIVE AND THEREFORE IT HAD TO BE TOWED. LATER IN THE DAY, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER STATING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 09/12/12

Honda will replace the liftgate struts in approximately 21,776 model year 2005 Honda Odyssey Touring vehicles equipped with power liftgates that were built before a manufacturing change of the liftgate strut assembly on July 16, 2005 (NHTSA Recall No. 10V-055).Vehicles built after the change experience significantly lower failure rates.The recall will inform consumers of the dangers of the existing struts and provide the opportunity for vehicle owners to obtain new struts that are more robust.Based on Honda's action, the agency has decided to close the investigation.While Honda has not made a decision that the recalled vehicles contain a safety-related defect, in view of the recall, further use of the agency's resources does not appear to be warranted.The agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.Additional information can be found in the attached Engineering Analysis Report.
