2003 Honda Odyssey Suspension Problems

ENGINE, SUSPENSION OR UNKNOWN ?: THREE OF THE 4 MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKEN AND NOT SUPPORTING THE ENGINE. THE ONE REMAINING MOTOR MOUNT IS UNDER EXTREME STRESS AND CAN FAIL ANYTIME. I HAVE HAD TWO DEALER SERVICE MANAGERS CONFIRM THIS PROBLEM AND BOTH HAVE SAID THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. BOTH HAVE WARNED ME THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IF THE LAST MOUNT FAILS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CONDITION OF THE ROADS AND FREEWAYS MAKE IT VERY HARD TO AVOID POT HOLES AND I HOLD MY BREATH EVERY TIME I HIT ONE TO SEE IF THE MOTOR IS OK. ELECTRICAL: 1. AFTER I HAD THE AIR BAGS THAT WERE RECALLED REPLACED THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ?? PROBLEM THAT TURNS THE RADIO ON AND OFF (I CAN USUALLY CHANGE IT BY BEATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.) 2. OCCASIONALLY WHEN I REMOVE THE KEY IT CONTINUES TO BEEP UNTIL I BEAT ON THE STEERING WHEEL. 3. OFTEN WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THERE IS A LOUD ELECTRICAL (CRACKING LIKE A SHORT) SOUND IN THE SPEAKERS THAT SOMETIMES I CAN STOP BY BEATING ON THE STEERING WHEEL. IF IT DOESN'T STOP I PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. 4, THE DOOR AND SLIDER LOCKS DO NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WITH THE REMOTE OR THE LOCKS ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I HAVE TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN SO A PASSENGER CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR OR SLIDER MANUALLY. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 2+ YEARS. I AM A VERY LOW INCOME 75 YEAR OLD SENIOR WHO CAN'T AFFORD $1000+ TO REPLACE THE FAILED MOTOR MOUNTS. I'VE PUT OUT $750 IN THE LAST YEAR TRYING TO SOLVE THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND TRANSMISSION FLUSH.

VEHICLE MAKES POPPING WHEN TURNING LEFT & RIGHT. THE SOUND IS COMING FROM THE FRONT STRUTS & SPRINGS. *TR

DRIVER SIDE STRUT CREAKING OR GRINDING TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS OR GOIN OVER SPEED BUMPS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TOLD THE DEALERSHIP MY CAR JERK HE TOLD I NEED A FUEL INJECTION. I PAID FOR A THAT SERVICE . WAS DRIVING MY KIDS HOME FROM SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR JERK 3 TIME REPEATLY SO BAD WE ALL GOT SCARED. MY HUSBAND DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE TORQUE CHAMBER IN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD COST 4500.00 DOLLARS TO FIX . AS A HARD WORKING AMERICAN I FEEL DUPED AND STUPID. I FEEL THEY SOLD ME A LEMON. I THINK CONSUMER SHOULD BE TOLD IF THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VECHILE BEFORE PURCHASING IT. *TR

WHEEL BEARINGS WENT OUT ON MY 2003 ODYSSEY WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. HAD THESE BEARING LOCKED UP THEY COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH. *NM

I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH THE TOWING PACKAGE. THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING IS THAT MY REAR SUSPENSION CANNOT SUPPORT THE TONGUE WEIGHT OF MY POP UP TRAILER. ALSO THERE IS NO MANUFACTURER THAT MAKES HEAVY DUTY SHOCKS FOR THE ODYSSEY. MY MANUAL SAYS THAT THE ODYSSEY CAN TOW UP TO 3500 LBS. MY POP UP IS ONLY 2000LBS. EVEN WITH A WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION HITCH MY ODYSSEY STILL DIPS DOWN IN THE REAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. HONDA SHOULD OFFER AS PART OF THE TOWING PACKAGE HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION. I'VE CHECK THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT MY COMPLAINT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG PEOPLE WHO TOW TRAILERS WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY. WHEN THE BACK END DIPS DOWN IT TAKES WEIGHT OFF THE FRONT WHEELS WHICH IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. I BELEIVE THAT HONDA SHOULD BE FORCE DTO OFFER HEAVY DUTY SUSPENSION TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE TOWING PACKAGE. *AK

WHEN STATRTI NG VEHICLE IT JERKS VIOLENTLY. DEALER NOTIFIED, SAID IT' WAS NORMAL USE OF PARKING BRAKING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK
