Honda Odyssey Engine problems by year

Was waiting in the left turn lane to make the turn, light turned green and when trying to make the turn, vehicle stalled suddenly without any notice or engine problems. A family member was present in the car when this happened. Have had engine stall after starting before and had the battery checked. No issues were noted with anything before this sudden stall in traffic. Have researched and found numerous similar complaints with honda vehicles and ignition switch problems with same results about vehicle stalling in traffic without any signs of the stalling about to occur. *Tr

My 1996 honda odyssey died several times while stationary and/or driving, including one incident on the highway at high speed. I took it to aaa care plus, got spark plug, spark plug wire set, distributor replaced. It still stall frequently. After doing a google search learned that 1996 odyssey has problem. Other have also reported. Want to know what honda is doing about it as this model was recalled for same problem in china and europe. *Tr

Complained about a small oil leak when at dlr for oil change at 90000 mi. Was told that cam shaft seal was leaking. Oil leak had saturated time belt. Dlr recommended replacing timing belt due to possible failure due to oil saturation. Original owner, timing belt had already been replaced at 60000 mi as part of regular maintenance. Replaced camshaft seal, balancer shaft seal, gear set, timing belt, and water pump at cost of $866. Noted other complaints on site of balancer shaft seal problems. *Jb

The engine seized while driving. The oil cooler o-ring broke because of cold weather and the oil rapidly flowed out. *Jb

Balancer shaft oil seal failed in january 2000. Oil housing oil seal (o-ring) failed in january 2004. Both failures caused heavy oil loss so vehicle was towed at my expense. Srs light is on. Dealer charged me $89 diagnostic fee for srs estimate and said it would cost just under $1000 to repair. This fee was charged even though I was paying for the o-ring repair at that time. * Cb

Front balancer shaft seal failed and all of the oil leaked out of the engine...Rapidly!!! *Jb

Counter balance shaft seal popped out. Oil was pumped out of engine rapidly. We discovered by finding pool of oil under left front tire. Dealer repair was prompt. Honda paid for seal and new timing belt. I had to pay for cam seal, crankshaft seal, water pump, and coolant. Honda's customer relations at 1-800-999-1009 was unresponsive. Their attitude was "not our fault" . I asked what they would do if engine had blown. Their response was "to probably deny claim since the engine would have to be driven with the engine light on.*Ak

Air bag -- control module failure at 67000 miles. Srs light on panel indicated problem. Diagnostics showed code 6-2. Car needs control unit #06772-sx0-a70. Cost $654.00 + Tax.

Wife was driving on highway oil light came on and she pulled over. Oil was pouring out from the engine. Had it towed to a local mechanic. Consumer was told that counter balance shaft seal. Had popped out.*Ak

The counter balance shaft seal on the engine "popped out". This drained all of the engine oil out of the crankcase. In researching this on the nhtsa web site I have seen a lot of honda accords with the same problem (same 4 cylinder engine). When I called the local honda dealer over the phone with the symptoms he correctly diagnosed the problem (they fixed the popped out seal, belts, labor etc) over the phone as he had seen this several times. He goes so far as to recommend that this $5 seal be changed on a...

Due to the design of the muffler the vehicle vibrates, the muffler came detached from the vehicle, causing a hazard. *Ak
