2007 Honda Odyssey Engine Problems

Engine mounts need to be replaced and this is a known issue that Honda has not recognized to take care of the issue. The issue is caused by the vehicle going in and out of ECO mode. This causes wear on the motor mounts which now creates a safety hazard of the engine vibrating and causing more issues. Honda should be replacing these as a recall.

This 2007 Honda Odyssey ex-l 3.5 l engine blue up its head gaskets and barely has 167715 miles on it. Other vehicles of the same type with over 300.000 miles are still on the road.. !!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PRIORITY HONDA ROANOKE (3311 PETERS CREEK RD, ROANOKE, VA 24019, (540) 366-0888) FOR A SERVICE INSPECTION REGARDING THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT AND DRIVER'S SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,124. *TR*JB

ENGINE MOUNT CAUSING VIBRATION AND SOUND UNDER THE HOOD.

I HAD BOUGHT MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY USED IN AUGUST 2017 PRIOR TO OUR SECOND CHILD BEING BORN. IT WAS ONE FAMILY OWNED WITH APPROXIMATELY 75K MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS INTO IT THE AC COMPRESSOR BROKE CAUSING THE CAR TO CEASE BEING DRIVABLE AND REQUIRING A TOW TO OUR MECHANIC. HE FOUND THAT NOT ONLY DID THE COMPRESSOR BREAK BUT ALSO THE SERPENTINE BELT AND THE TENSIONER HAD GONE. WE HAD THE REPAIR DONE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE UNTIL ABOUT ANOTHER SIX MONTHS WENT BY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. THE AC COMPRESSOR STOPPED WORKING, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL AND REQUIRED A TOW AND THE SERPENTINE BELT AND TENSIONER WERE BROKEN AGAIN. ALL WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE INCONVENIENCE FACTOR IS MORE PROBLEMATIC. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE TWO YEARS THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF 2007 HONDA ODYSSEYS. I HAVE INDICATED THE MOST RECENT DATE OF THE INCIDENT.

SIDE AND FRONT ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE COMING APART. THIS IS AN ARIZONA VEHICLE, NOT SUBJECT TO ACCELERATED SALT RUST. ACCORDING TO HONDA OWNER FORUMS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE MANUFACTURER TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY. CONSIDERING THE CONDITION AND MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE, MOTOR MOUNTS SHOULD NOT BE COMING APART.

A MISFIRE, PISTON RINGS. MECHANIC SAID ITS THE PISTON RINGS. I RAN A COMPRESSION TEST. PUT NEW COLI PACK. AS SOON AS I START THE VAN IT STARTS THE PROBLEM.

BAD ENGINE MOUNTS FOR THE 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL MODEL. WILL COST OVER $2000 TO REPAIR.

THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR. IT APPEARS TO BE RANDOM BUT HAS BEEN OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY THE PAST FEW MONTHS. LAST WEEK IT STALLED 3 TIMES. THE STALLING USUALLY OCCURS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. IT OCCURS WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR WHEN I AM STOPPED. IT HAS OCCURRED ONE TIME WHILE BACKING UP. YOU CAN TELL WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO START RUNNING ROUGH. WHEN STOPPED, THE ENGINE WILL BE AT 800 OR 900 REVS AND THEN SUDDENLY DROP THEN JUMP UP AND THEN THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND START THE ENGINE. IT ALWAYS STARTS FINE. IT HAPPENS ON HOT AND COOL DAYS, RAINY AND SUNNY DAYS. IT HAPPENS WITH THE AC ON OR THE AC OFF. I HAVE TRIED USING GAS EXCLUSIVELY FROM EXXON AND THEN EXCLUSIVELY FROM BP FOR MONTHS AT TA TIME IN EACH CASE. NO DIFFERENCE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES. NOTHING EVER SHOWS UP ON THE COMPUTER. I EVEN HAD IT STALL AS I PARKED IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP NOR THE MECHANICS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. TO TRY SOMETHING, I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND A TUNE UP DONE. THE VEHICLE STALLED THE NEXT DAY. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AUTOMOTIVE USA. THEY GAVE ME NO HELP OR SOLUTION OTHER THAN TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY LEERY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE!

ENGINE MOUNTS WENT BAD. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE CAR APPEARS TO JUMP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK ENGINE MOUNTS WERE CRACKED. VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. DEALER SAID IT'S NOT A COMMON PROBLEM ON MOST CARS, BUT HE'S HAD SEVERAL HONDA ODYSSEYS COME IN WITH THIS PROBLEM.

WHEN I WAS BRAKING AT SLOW SPEED THE ENGINE ACCELERATED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE HARD TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING FORWARD. ONCE I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR WAS RUNNING VERY POORLY. TOOK CAR TO LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE, EMPLOYEE HOOKED CAR TO DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND MISFIRE CODES CAME UP AND CAR WAS ONLY RUNNING ON 2 CYLINDERS. DROVE CAR TO MECHANIC. AFTER DIAGNOSING PROBLEM WAS EXPLAINED I WOULD NEED A FULL TUNE UP AND HEAD REPLACING. AFTER FURTHER EXPLORING MECHANIC NOTICED METAL FILINGS IN CYLINDER AND RECOMMENDED ENGINE REPLACEMENT DUE TO DAMAGE TO HOUSING AND POSSIBLY TO RINGS. WHICH WOULD COST MORE THEN VALUE OF CAR.

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED LAST YEAR IN FEB 2014. THE CAR ONLY HAD 67000 MILES. WELL, IT HAS BEEN LESS THAT 2 YEARS AND THE MOUNTS HAVE GONE BAD AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN MANY SITES THAT HAVE COMPLAINTS OF THIS BEING MAJOR PROBLEM BUT HONDA DOES NOT WANT TO DO A RECALL. LAST TIME IT COST ME OVER $500 FOR THE 2 AND THIS TIME THE COST WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED HONDA YET BUT WILL DO SO TOMORROW. ALSO, I HAD THE TIMING BELT AND TENSIONER REPLACED IN FEB 2014 AS WELL AND NOW THE WATER PUMP, TIMING BELT AND TENSIONER NEED REPLACEMENT AGAIN. THEY SIT NEXT TO THE MOTOR MOUNT AND I AM WONDERING IF THE BAD MOUNT IS ALSO DAMAGING THE WATER PUMP, ETC....

I WAS PICKING UP MY SON FROM SCHOOL WHEN I GOT BACK ON THE CAR I NOTICE SOME SMOG COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, FOR A MOMENT I THOUGH THAT THE SMOG HAVE GONE AWAY BUT WHEN I OPEN THE HOOD THERE WAS A FIRE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FILE WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER BUT I COULDN'T CONTAIN THE FIRE. WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOOK OVER. THE FIRE DESTROYED THE FRONT END OF THE CAR THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WHEN THE FIRE BEGAN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE FROM A PARKING LOT IN MY SON'S SCHOOL.

ENGINE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. I'VE BEEN BURNING ABOUT 3 QUARTS OF OIL PER MONTH.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 20MPH WHEN I SMELLED SMOKE I PULLED OVER. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE CAR AROUND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. WITHIN MINUTES MY ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. MY CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. MY FAMILY IS SAFE BUT WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED AND DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. IF THERE IS ANOTHER WEBSITE OR AGENCY THAT I SHOULD REPORT THIS TO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. IT WAS VERY SCARY.

MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHIELDS (FRONT COVER A AND B) WERE REPLACED ON 6/19/2012. ON 6/22/2015 THE FRONT (A AND B) CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHIELDS WERE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE THE REAR SHIELDS (A AND B) WERE REPLACED AS WELL. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS EXCESSIVE SO I THOUGHT I WOULD REPORT IT.

WE OWN AN ODYSSEY AND CRV. BOTH OF THEM HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE HEAT SHIELD RUSTING AND MAKING NOISES WHEN ACCELERATING. THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE IT IS TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE. IN RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE IT LOOKS LIKE MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS WITH ALL DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. HAS THIS BEEN INVESTIGATED? THE OTHER OPTION IS TO REMOVE THIS HEAT SHIELD BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF YOU PARK ON GRASS OR IT COULD DAMAGE THE OTHER CAR PARTS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE CONVERTER.. *TR
