NHTSA Complaint #10336476 — 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY

PREMATURE WEAR OUT OF ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS IN THE HONDA ODYSSEY. I HAVE A 2005 MODEL AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. THE TECHNICIAN & SVC WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO I HAD 3 OUT OF 4 ENGINE MOUNTS THAT WERE BROKEN AND NEEDED REPLACING THE FRONT AND SIDES WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH A DEDUCTIBLE I HAD TO PAY. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER THE REAR MOUNT HAS GONE BAD AND NOW REQUIRES REPLACING. I ADVISED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY REPLACED THE OTHER 3 THIS ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL SINCE THEY KNEW IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM & WOULD EVENTUALLY WEAR OUT SOON WHICH IT HAS NOW DONE AND PREMATURELY. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL COVER IT ONCE AGAIN BUT I HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE. JUST LIKE A DENTIST WHEN HE HAS TO REMOVE 3 WISDOM TEETH, THE 4TH ONE IS STILL GOOD BUT HE WILL SUGGEST HAVING IT REMOVED AS WELL AT THAT TIME. SAME THING SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN THIS CASE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT - PLEASE GOOGLE " DEFECTIVE MOTOR OR ENGINE MOUNTS IN HONDA ODYSSEY ) AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN. *TR
