Talk about pricy Honda parts. My Acura MDX shocks, just parts alone, cost about $3500. That's another story. So I went to a independent Honda/Acura specialist. It is confirmed bad engine mounts: Front/Rear/Side.

Trav, that is good info. I will inspect it. The online price for rear is $650 ($932), front $740 ($1054).

I am going to take the van in for multipoint inspections to see to find out the repair cost will be.

Originally Posted by supton Ok, only asking as I am wondering if this isn't a good time to jump ship and let it be someone else's problem. TB + engine mount + any other issues that could be lurking. OR you get this fixed, eyes wide open, knowing that next year is the TB, and then whatever other...

Originally Posted by GZRider Hopefully it's the mounts, but the transmissions on those were kinda weak, so honestly that would be my first guess. There were at least till 2015 active Honda service campaigns on older Odyssey's for the automatic transmissions, not sure on what the...

2006 Honda Odyssey Touring. This car has VCM and the car has Active Control Mount (ACM). It's been known that VCM caused mounts to wear out.

My car has started to vibrate when in (P)arking, (R)everse, and (N)eutral mode. While stationary, I switched gear between P,N,or R, the car would vibrate. Sometimes when switched to R from P, I would get a clunk noise. If I switched gear to (D)rive or (2) or (1), the vibration stops. Motor mount...

Front struts replaced as full complete assembly, plus stabilizer links and stabilizer bar bushings. Rear shocks replaced. All works were done at the same time. The front arm bushings have cracks, could this be it?

I did as suggested and the van rocked, but then I did the same to my mdx and it did the same. What I found interesting is that the air intake tube was ripped open. After I replaced it, the hacksaw floating feeling has not occurred once yet. I don't know how is that related. Also, I had...

The tires are still in great shape, a lot of thread left. The weird thing is only it is only happens when I make 90-degree turn from the road into my driveway. It does not do it on the road at stop lights or stop sign or when pull to park in shopping center or my work place parking. My driveway...

While pull into driveway to park while pressing the brake to slowly to a stop (while still pressing the brake), the car would float back and forth like it is on air suspension. The first thing came to my mind was bad struts and shock absorber. I replaced the front struts and stabilizer links...

I'm the "lay people" or "non-experts". 2000 Infiniti G20t requires 87-octane. Always used Shell/Mobil 93 or sometimes Sunoco 94. Donated in 2014 @ approx. 180,000-mi. The car starts and drives like it was in 2000 (new), and was very peppy. I'm sure the fuel injectors and intake and exhaust...

Drop off your used coolant at Pepboys.
