POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I NOTICED MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING INTO 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE AND TCS LIGHTS CAME ON SIMULTANEOUSLY. TOOK VAN TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED, WITH 57,600 MILES AND LESS THAN FOUR YEARS ON IT, MY VAN NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WARRANTY WAS RECENTLY EXPIRED. CALLED AMERICAN HONDA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER ANY REPAIRS. OPERATOR ASKED WHAT I EXPECTED OF THEM. I ASKED THEM TO COVER THE COST OF PARTS (ABOUT $4600). SHE SAID SHE'D SUBMIT THE REQUEST. SHE DIDN'T MENTION THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO A LARGE NUMBER OF 1999 ODYSSEYS (APPARENTLY ALSO 2000'S, 2001'S AND 2002'S.) SUSPECT (FROM A WEB SEARCH) THAT THIS WILL BE A RECURRING PROBLEM. *JB

#10016464April 24, 2003
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM ON MY 99 HONDA ODYSSEY. REPLACED IT AT 60000 MILES AT AAMCO TRANSMISSION. HONDA DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE I DID NOT BRING IT TO THE DEALER. NOW AT 90000 MILES, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE SHIFTING FEELS ROUGH. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT HONDA TRIES TO IGNORE. THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE SECOND GEAR DOES NOT ENGAGE WHILE WE ARE ON THE FREEWAY. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 65,000 MILES ON IT. OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS TOLD BY A TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT THE DIF. BEARINGS WERE FAILING AND CAUSING THE SOLENOIDS TO MALFUNCTION. THEY SAY I NEED A TOTAL TRANSMISSION REBUILD. I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY MANY MORE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM PURSUING HONDA TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A UNDER ENGINEERED / DEFECTIVE DESIGN. *NLM
