UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM WRITING TODAY WITH CONCERNS ABOUT MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT. MUCH TO MY DISMAY, I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING THAT THE FRONT AND SIDE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $516.81. I MUST SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ENGINE MOUNTS GOING BAD ON A VEHICLE AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. WE BOUGHT A HONDA ODYSSEY TO HAVE AS A RELIABLE FAMILY VAN THAT WE PLANNED TO KEEP FOR A WHILE. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WE BOUGHT A HONDA IS BECAUSE OF THE NOTED REPUTATION FOR BEING A SAFE AND RELIABLE AUTO BRAND. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT SHOULD CORRECT ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT WE REPORTED WITH THE VAN. THE TRANSMISSION REGULARLY MAKES A TERRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE WHEN IT IS SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE. WE ALSO REPORTED THIS SAME CLUNKING AND SOME SLIPPING IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT A PROBLEM. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE NEVER GONE AWAY AND WE HAVE GREAT CONCERNS ABOUT THE VIABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR ODYSSEY. FORTUNATELY IT HAS NOT LEFT US STRANDED ON THE ROADSIDE AND STUCK WITH A HUGE REPAIR BILL YET. OUR CONCERNS SEEM TO BE VALIDATED BASED ON THE INFORMATION WE HAVE READ ON VARIOUS WEB SITES ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND FAILURES OF THE ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION. WE WENT AHEAD AND SPENT THE MONEY TO HAVE THE ENGINE MOUNTS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THE 'CLUNKING' NOISE WHEN SHIFTING THE VEHICLE FROM PARK TO REVERSE. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT WE COULD DRIVE THIS VAN FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO COME AND ACCUMULATE WELL OVER 100,000 MILES BASED ON THE PURPORTED RELIABILITY OF THE HONDA BRAND. IT LOOKS LIKE THE MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SHOULD PROMPT A RECALL FOR THIS MODEL YEAR DUE TO THE VOLUME OF ISSUES. *TT

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2--3 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM: I PURCHASED A 2003 ODYSSEY BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER OF 2002. THE VAN WAS GREAT FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE ELECTRIC DOORS STARTED TO STICK AND WE HAD SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK-UP RIGHT BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT ABOUT 34K MILES (WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 36K). THE DEALER LOOSENED THE DOORS AND EXPLAINED THAT THE HEAT IN FLORIDA REQUIRED US TO PLACE A LITTLE OF LITHIUM GREASE IN THE GASKETS ON THE DOORS. THE DEALER DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT SINCE I HAD ALREADY STARTED TO HEAR ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I MADE SURE THEY NOTED THE COMPLAINT ON THE WORK ORDER. AT 40K MILES BANG! TRANSMISSION OUT! WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS, THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE CALLED US TO LET US KNOW THAT HONDA WILL PROVIDE US A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR REPLACEMENT, BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE $1000 INSTALLATION. MY WIFE AND I HAD LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO PAY. WELL, THE VAN NOW (6/28/2033) HAS 119K MILES AND I JUST LEFT IT AT A MECHANIC SHOP TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. I WILL COST $1200, AND THERE'S NOT MUCH ELSE I CAN DO RIGHT NOW. I HAVE TO PRACTICE MY HOUDINI SKILLS AND MAKE $1200 POP OUT OF THIN AIR. THIS ISSUE IS A REAL SHAME BECAUSE THE VAN IS AWESOME. HONDA COULD BE EMBRACING THEIR PROBLEMS AND CAPITALIZING IN BUILDING LONG TERM CUSTOMER LOYALTY. INSTEAD, I JUST WANT TO PLACE THE HONDA LOGO IN THE TRAIN TRACKS, THE WAY I PLACED SMALL COINS IN THE TRACK TO FLATTEN THEM WHEN I WAS A KID. I HOPE WE CAN GET SOMETHING TO HAPPEN THOUGH THE COURTS ABOUT THIS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, STRUCTURE
MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN FALL OF 2010. I AM A CAREFUL DRIVER, TAKEN CARE TO MAINTAIN MY CAR ACCORDING TO SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. THE TRANSMISSION FELT A LITTLE LOOSE FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN ONE DAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK IT COMPLETELY FAILED. I COULDN'T GET INTO ANY GEAR. I CALLED HONDA AND ASKED FOR HELP AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS TOO OLD AND IT WAS NORMAL FOR TRANSMISSIONS TO FAIL. THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR WAS 134760. I HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT AAMCO FOR $3000. THIS CAR HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS, AND HONDA REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I'VE HAD THE KEY CORE GO BAD, MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR HAD BEEN "FIXED" 3 TIMES AND STILL WON'T CLOSE PROPERLY, ALL THE PAINT IS PEELING ALL OVER THE CAR, AND HONDA WOULD ONLY REPAINT PORTIONS OF THE CAR AS PART OF THE RECALL. SO ONE SIDE OF MY CAR AND THE BACK IS COMPLETELY PEELED AWAY, AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAINT IT, UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE IT DONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE DISCOVERED TODAY THAT OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS IN NEED OF A NEW TRANSMISSION, THE SAD PART IS THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 89,500 MILES, THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT INSPECTED THE VAN TOLD US THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO BE $4200. WE PRETTY MUCH EXPERIENCED ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT MANY OTHER USERS ARE MENTIONING ON THIS SITE, IT FIRST STARTED BY SKIPPING GEARS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD, THEN THE TCS AND EMC LIGHT CAME ON AND AFTER THIS EVERYTHING CAME DOWNHILL. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE VAN WAS SERVICED IN THE PAST TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL BY INSTALLING THE JET FAN COOLING THING, APPARENTLY THIS WAS A BANDAGE TO THE REAL ISSUE AS A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY DIED ON US. WE BOUGHT HONDA FOR THEIR APPARENT "SUPERIOR QUALITY" AND HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE DISAPPOINTED. WE FEEL LIKE WE GOT SCREWED AND IF THERE IS A RECALL OR SOME LEMON LAW WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE THIS JUST CAN NOT KEEP HAPPENING!!!!!!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
APPROXIMATELY 60 DAYS AGO ON A SATURDAY I TOOK MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY TO ONE OF THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERS FOR AND OIL CHANGE SERVICE. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO CHECK OUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BECAUSE IT HAD COME ON THE WEEK BEFORE. HE TOLD ME THAT THE REGULAR SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED AND THAT I SHOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT UNTIL IT COME UP FOR THE SMOG CHECK. ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND I HAD MY WIFE AND THREE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE TRAVELING ON A MAJOR FREEWAY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING INTO A COLLISION. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT HAD DONE THE SERVICE AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND RECOMMENDED A REBUILT REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF OVER $3700.00 DOLLARS. A NEW COMPUTER WAS ALSO RECOMMENDED FOR AN EXTRA $1,100.00. THE VAN IS STILL SITTING IN THEIR LOT. AFTER A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH SOME HONDA PRODUCTS. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE VERY SCARED OF SOME OF THE LARGE TRUCKS THAT PAST BY US ON BOTH SIDE AT WHAT SEEMED TO BE A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. BUT IT WAS PROBABLY MORE THAT WE WERE SLOWING DOWN AT A FAST RATE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
BOUGHT MY ODYSSEY USED, CERTIFIED WITH THE 7YR/100K MI WARRANTY FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ALEXANDRIA, VA IN MAY 2006 WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE HAD IT SERVICED BY MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP EXCLUSIVELY SINCE PURCHASING. LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO (AT ABOUT 99000 MILES), I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST ODD EXPERIENCE WITH SHIFTING UP/DOWN WHILE AT EXPRESSWAY AND FREEWAY SPEEDS. I RETURNED HOME WITHIN 50 MILES AND PARKED THE CAR UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE). FIRST THING THIS MORNING (ABOUT 7:30 AM), TOOK THE ODYSSEY TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE TRANSMISSION AND TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED AND/OR REPLACED AS NEEDED AS WELL AS ANY OTHER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED. RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 1 PM TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AS THE OLD ONE WAS SHOT. THE PRICE QUOTED TO ME FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL MODULE WAS ABOUT $5000, NOT WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR OR WAS EXPECTING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN LAST JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ANY REGULAR MAINTENANCE NEEDED, EXPECTING ANY ABNORMALITIES WOULD BE NOTED. I WOULD HAVE BEEN DUE FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE ABOUT NOW, BUT I JUST RECENTLY CHANGED THE OIL AND OIL FILTER MYSELF, LESS THAN 3000 MILES AGO. HOW IS IT THAT A SUPPOSEDLY RELIABLE VEHICLE CAN, WITHOUT WARNING, GO FROM 100% FUNCTIONING TO NEEDING A MAJOR DRIVE COMPONENT REPLACEMENT? I JUST CALLED HONDA CORPORATE FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS, AS A MAJOR EQUIPMENT FAILURE OF THIS NATURE SHOULDN'T BE DROPPED ON THE CONSUMER, AND I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL YEAR TRANSMISSION. I'D BE HAPPY PAYING 25-50% OF THE COSTS, WITH A MINIMUM 36K MI/ 3 YR WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WOULD ONLY BE THE SECOND MAJOR EXPENSE I'VE HAD TO PAY ON THE VAN, AS THE FIRST ONE WAS THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT, WHICH WAS DONE WELL BEFORE THE TYPICAL MILEAGE MARK. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ENCOUNTERED TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. 2004 TRANSMISSION RECALL PERFORMED BY DEALER AND FACTORY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULED PERFORMED THROUGHOUT OWNERSHIP. IN JUNE '11 NOTICED SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD OCCURRED. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY WITH 2 LITTLE CHILDREN IN THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON THE LOCAL STREETS. THE CAR JOLTED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE FIRST INCIDENT AND WE NEARLY SWERVED INTO THE MEDIAN. I'VE BEEN TOLD ALL IS NORMAL TO REPLACE THE TRANS BY VARYING DEALERSHIPS. I FEEL THAT HONDA HAS NOT INVESTIGATED NOR RESOLVED THE TRANS PROBLEM THOROUGHLY AND NOW I COULD BE HELD PAYING THE BILL ONCE IT IS REPLACED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF FAILURE. HONDA CORP INDICATED THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO ISSUE A SECOND RECALL IF IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT HONDA CORP MAKES THE DECISION AND A CASE NEEDS TO BE FILED. HOWEVER, THE SELLER SAID THAT IF YOU BOUGHT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP OR HAVE HAD SPENT A LOT OF MANY IN SERVICE AT HONDA, THIS WEIGHS HEAVILY IN THEIR DECISION AND CUSTOMERS ARE MORE LIKELY AWARDED THE FULL RECALL VALUE. THIS IS WRONG FOR THE HONDA COMPANY TO PLAY GAMES WITH A SAFETY ISSUE AND ONLY REWARD HIGHEST PAYING CUSTOMERS WITH A RECALL. ALL SHOULD BE BENEFIT AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE.

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY BEGAN SLIPPING IN TRANSMISSION FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER TWICE, ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY A PROBLEM. THEY DID REPORT THAT I NEEDED $650 OF OTHER MAINTENANCE, WHICH I AGREED TO, BUT COULD NOT "REPLICATE" THE PROBLEM I WAS THERE FOR. AFTER THE 3RD VISIT IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS, I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, WE DISCOVERED THAT THE ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD CONTACTED HONDA CORP. BUT THEY DECLINED ANY ASSISTANCE. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HAVE BEEN LOYAL CUSTOMERS OF THIS DEALERSHIP FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS. THE DEALERSHIP DID OFFER A 10% DISCOUNT, BUT THE COST IS STILL A STAGGERING $3800. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA, HAVING FULL KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE PROMOTING AND SELLING DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS, SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

WE BOUGHT OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM A PRIVATE PARTY IN MAY 2008 WITH AN ODOMETER OF 46,000 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN WELL SATISFIED WITH THE VAN SINCE THEN. WE NOW HAVE 101,000 MILES. WE WERE VISITING OUR DAUGHTER & FAMILY IN OXFORD, MS AND WERE RETURNING HOME TO ROCK HILL, SC NEAR TUPELO, MS (ABOUT 50 MILES) WHEN THE TACHOMETER REVVED UP TO 5000+RPM. WE HAD AAA TOW IT TO A SHOP IN TUPELO WHO DIAGNOSED A BURNED UP TRANSMISSION. THE SHOP ESTIMATE OF REPAIR TIME WAS 8.1 HRS BASED ON THE GUIDE THE OWNER SAID IT TOOK ABOUT THAT TIME TO REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. WHEN CALLING AAA WE TOLD THEM TO TAKE IT TO ANY SHOP THAT COULD REPAIR IT. I WILL BE CONTACTING HONDA ABOUT ASSISTANCE ON THE REPAIR COSTS, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT THE HONDA DEALER. WE HAVE MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE FAITHFULLY ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL. *TR
