Honda Odyssey motor mount problem

[legomom]

Yup, at 35K our 2006 touring odyssey started rumbling in eco mode. Yup, the motor mounts. Huh? All we haul is a dual bob stroller in the back cargo area and two toddlers in car seats, really? Ironically, all at the dealership were clueless and surprised by this new noise? Apparently all they had to do was do a visual inspection but instead I had to take it in twice for a drive with the tech waiting for the “noise” to be heard. Since then we have had to replace them 4 times. We are at 100K miles. Fortunately we bought the extended warrany and it has saved us big time. What a dissappointment in Honda though. Replaced numerous things, I think at this point they have a service bay reserved for this pampered and loved car. At least they finally admitted the brakes weren’t right and recalled and repaired the master cylinder. My last car lasted over 250K and was nearly 25 years old and totally abused by me and well I know have spent more on the odyssey in the past 5 years than my previous “used” car. Some say that it’s not their responsibility to after so many miles, yet the same problem keeps creeping up AND until it is a safety issue they will get away with the outrageous fees they are charging those without extended warranty. Also Honda sets the expectation of reliability, ask any Salesman about motormounts on the 2011 and I wonder if he will fess up. This odyssey was the first “new” car I ever bought and my first and last Honda. I’m going German again when we finally give up on our Odyssey, assuming we have any money left.
