WHEN MY VEHICLE REACHED 85,000 MILES, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. THE TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. AS A VEHICLE OWNER, I WOULD EXPECT A TRANSMISSION TO LAST AROUND 100,000/150,000 MILES. IN 9/2011, I BARELY REACHED ANOTHER 87,000 MILES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AGAIN. I HAD MY 4 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AS I WAS GOING UP A BRIDGE. THE ROAD HAD NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER ON. I WAS IN VERY GREAT DANGER AS 18 WHEELERS TRIED TO PASS ME. I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. PRIORITY HONDA IN CHESAPEAKE QUOTED ME $6000 TO REPLACE. I FELT THAT IT WAS HONDAS RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA. THE REP INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE 2ND GEAR. PRIORITY SAID THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I WENT ELSEWHERE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I HAD 3 OTHER LOCATIONS THAT TOLD ME IT WAS THE 2ND AND 3RD GEARS SLIPPING. I FEEL THAT PRIORITY HONDA HAD TOTALLY DISREGARDED ME AS A CUSTOMER. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO A HONDA DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE/REPAIRS. WHATEVER I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED DONE, I WOULD HAVE DONE. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE I RECEIVED FROM PRIORITY HONDA FROM THE SAME REP FROM THE PAST 8 YRS. THIS PAST WEEK, ONCE AGAIN, MY VAN HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 4 YOUNG CHILDREN. TRANSMISSION AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS WAS DUE TO THE WORKMANSHIP OF THE COMPANY THAT HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. FIRST, IF HONDA MADE A TRANSMISSION THAT WAS RELIABLE, I WOULD HAVE NOT HAD TO REPLACE IT TWO TIMES. SECOND, IF HONDA WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO OUTSOURCE TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. I FEEL THAT MY VEHICLE IS IN A STATED OF UNRELIABILITY AND WITH 4 YOUNG CHILDREN RANGING FROM AGES 3 TO 11, I CAN NO LONGER PUT OUR SAFETY AT RISK. *TR

PRIOR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, I WAS LISTENING TO A WEIRD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSTIC A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ONLY AFTER 3 OR 4 WEEKS, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED FAILING. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A U-TURN AND TAKE THE CAR HOME. AFTER THAT THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY UNABLE TO MOVE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA DUE TO ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY JUST HAVE IGNORED ALL OF THEM. SHAME ON YOU HONDA!!! *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE SLIDING DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH IT THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. AT THOSE TIMES, I MANUALLY CLOSE THE DOOR. TWO TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, I DID THIS. SEEMED TO HAVE LATCHED SINCE THE LIGHT WENT OUT. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD ON THAT SIDE, SECURED IN A CAR SEAT AND THE DOOR OPENED - EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE SWITCH TO MANUAL. HAD TO TRY TO GET OFF THE ROAD, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PUTTING THE SWITCH TO AUTOMATIC AND HOLDING DOWN THE CLOSE BUTTON. VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE A SEVERE LIABILITY FOR HONDA. CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 140,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE VAN FAILS TO GAIN SPEED AND DOES NOT GO BEYOND 20-25 MILES PER HOUR OCCASIONALLY. MOST OF THE TIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER STOP N GO SITUATION AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR ENTERING A FREEWAY IF YOU HAVE TO STOP AT THE ENTRY DUE TO METERING ON DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC TIMES. NO ACCIDENT YET, BUT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBLE OF POOR DESIGN OR WORKMANSHIP YET IT SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOW PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY 2002. *TR
