Honda Odyssey in Nuevo Leon, Mexico May 2013 - Sep 2018
Oct 2013 40300 mi $65	Requested dealer to check on the transmission due to vibration on 3rd gear. Reported no problems found, no vibration happening during their tests, and a spark plug malfunction.
Dec 2013 45880 mi $500	based on dealer recommendation after inspection, changed all spark plugs prematurely in order to resolve strange vibration. No solution to vibration after spark plug change. Vibration getting much worse, but a local mechanic could not find the problem, but verifies it is the transmission. Took minivan back to dealer to review again the vibration in transmission. They stated that nothing could be done as per HondaÂ´s dealer procedures in Mexico, other than changing the transmission. Battery failed before 40,000 kms with the previous battery. Changed by myself. Door opening mechanism failed and caused door to bend towards the body of the car and scratch it.
Jan 2014	Got the minivan to a specialized transmission repair shop. Inspected and scanned. Resulted in no major transmission failure. Required complete flush of trans oil. Said that dealer had not changed oil as per maint program as paid. Back to the repair shop as transmission started shifting to 4rd and 5th gears very soon at low speeds. Shop reprogrammed computer. Back to the transmission shop given that last reprogramming caused the vibration in 3rd gear to be back again very strongly. Reprogrammed again and vibration reduced (still there, but much slightly). Shifts much better now.
Feb 2014 47120 mi	Called Honda Mexico to put a complain given the vibration in 3rd. shift. Was directed to the dealer in my town (Honda Corregidora). Took it there and had it tested by myself together with their chief mechanic. Could not replicate the problem Interestingly, the problem has became slighter every time that I kept driving it. Then I did a 4 hours each way trip, and it has completely disappeared! It looks like the new transmission fluid needed time to wash the affected parts.

Nov 2016 84960 mi $15	Car would not accelerate after stopping at a red light under heavy traffic conditions on warm (close to 30Â°C) days. Engine would seem normal but transmission would be in neutral. Needed premature battery replacement. Earlier transmission problem did not dissapear after changing the battery. Taken for diagnosis and mechanic reports that there is also a problem with the new battery. Problem dissapeared after the battery was disconnected a few times. Car began to make crushing noises while being driven on irregular surfaces. Mechanic diagnosed worn out rubber parts of a portion of the suspension and replaced such parts.
Dec 2016 86800 mi $200	Car began to make worse crushing noises on the left front Wheel while in a 7-hour trip. Car taken to mechanic in a different city who found out that the left front strut base was not properly attached. Mechanic put the bolts tighter. Cigarrette lighter stopped working. Replaced the fuse. Steering started to make a lot of noise. Visited different shops and all of them coincided that the noise was caused by a low flow of fluid on system due to improperly repaired hose and recommended to use a new OEM hose.
Jan 2018 98580 mi	Front engine mount was damaged and needed to be replaced. After changing the front motor mount the Check Engine light would be on. Took to a mechanic to have it diagnosed and reported an electrical problem with the EGR valve. Mechanic checked the valve and could not find the problem. Further into the EGR valve failure, I checked all the cables and found one cable had been disconnected from the connector of the EGR valve harness. Had the cable connected back. Check Engine light got off after driving 500 km. It turned out that the cable could have got disconnected when the mechanic shop worked on the bad engine mount.
