NHTSA Complaint #10429492 — 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY

RECENTLY I HAVE FELT A "SHUDDERING" AT SPEEDS BELOW 40MPH. I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP FOR THAT PROBLEM AS WELL AS ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MY POWER SLIDING DOORS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY DOORS. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR IN THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR(WHICH WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY AT THE TIME). AND NOW I AM LOOKING AT REPLACING POWER DOOR CENTER ROLLERS IN BOTH POWER SLIDING DOORS AT AN ESTIMATED $560.00 (AND NO LONGER HAVE WARRANTY). SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN A HASSLE WITH THE POWER SLIDING DOORS. THEY CLOSED HALF WAY ON MY CHILDREN GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR ALL THE TIME. AND DON'T WORK THE OTHER HALF OF THE TIME. THE ISSUE WITH THE "SHUDDERING" IS DUE TO FRONT AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED $1355.00. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THAT ALOT OF THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAPPENING AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER IT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE. I THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL ON THE "DEFECTIVE ENGINE MOUNTS". THIS CANNOT BE SAFE TO RIDE IN. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS CALLING IT A "KNOWN ISSUE" BUT STILL NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM OR REIMBURSING PEOPLE THE COST OF REPAIRS. HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS OR EVEN GET INJURED BEFORE HONDA WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT??? *KB
