POWER TRAIN
I NOTICED THE FIRST SHIFTING PROBLEM WHEN I STOPPED AT STOP SIGN. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SLEEPING ALL THE TIME. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VAN NOW AS THE TRANSMISSION CAN GO ANY TIME AND MAY RESULT IN MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE EVEN IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR P0401 CODE FOR CLOGGED EGE SYSTEM AND P1739 FOR THE TRANSMISSION CODE MY TRANSMISSION WAS ALREADY REPLACED THIS IS THE 2ND TRANSMISSION FROM HONDA. ON AUGUST 2010 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK THE CAR TO PEP BOYS. THEY PULLED UP THE 2 CODES P0401 AND P1739 FOR CLOGGED EGR SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION CODE. I REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND STILL THE SAME CODE CAME UP. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT HAS TO BE PERFORMED TO UNCLOGG THE EGR SYSTEM THAT IS TO HONDA BULLETIN 00-009 TO DRILL A HOLE IN THE MANIFOLD AND INSTALL A PIPE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE UNDER WARRANTY IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO BAD A GAIN BECAUSE IT HAS THE P1739 CODE. I WANT BOTH OF THESE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. *TR

ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY LX MINIVAN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 105,366 MILES. HONDA MOTOR CORPORATE REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY REIMBURSEMENT TOWARDS A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN 105,366 MILES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY MINIVANS FAILS TO CHANGE GEARS LIKE IT SHOULD. WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE MINIVANS SEEMS TO HESITATE TO CHANGE GEARS. I WOULD NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM BUT MY MINIVANS CARRIES FOUR CHILDREN IN IT AT ALL TIMES. IF I'M GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LIKE I'M ALWAYS DOING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY MINIVANS TRANSMISSION DECIDES TO GO? I'M UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE AND I HAVE MY FOUR CHILDREN WITH ME. I JUST DON'T THINK SO. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I WOULD LOVE HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT YOU NEED MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SO WHAT AM I TO DO? SIMPLE RIGHT? WRONG I NEED TO BORROW A VEHICLE FROM A FAMILY MEMBER TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND DO WHAT I NEED TO DO. *TR

POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
2ND FAULTY TRANSMISSION! MY STORY ECHOES MANY OTHERS (E.G. ODI 10354768) IN THAT MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY REQUIRED A NEW TRANSMISSION AFTER 5 YEARS/65K MILES (EXTENDED MFG WARRANTY COVERED THAT ONE) AND NOW ANOTHER NEW ONE AFTER 5 MORE YEARS, 60K MILES (NOT COVERED BY HONDA; REBUILT THROUGH MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND AAMCO). SO FRUSTRATING, EXPENSIVE, AND MIMICKED BY OTHER HONDA OWNERS' EXPERIENCE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO BEND HONDA'S MGMT TO THE CUSTOMER'S SIDE? *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT I BOUGHT WITH 119K MILES ON IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT SERVICED BY HONDA. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT AROUND 60K AND NOW AT 170K MILES THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED EVERY 25K, ONE AT 120K AND ANOTHER AT 145K. HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR FREE, TWO FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN 170K MILES IN UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY (80K MILES) AND FEW DAYS BACK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DEALER IS SAYING THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REBUILT AND NEITHER HONDA NOR THE DEALER WOULD PAY ANY OF IT. SEARCHING IN THE WEB, NOW I SEE THAT THERE WERE MANY SUCH CASES- SO THIS SEEM LIKE A KNOWN ISSUE AND SO I'D LIKE HONDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THE ISSUE FOR FREE OR GIVE SOME FINANCIAL ASSIST AT THE LEAST. IS THERE SOMETHING I CAN DO TO GET HELP? THANKS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
HONDA IS REPLACING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS WITH REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE JUST AS FAULTY, IF NOT MORE SO, THAN THE ORIGINAL. MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR ITS 4TH TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE FIRST ONE FAILED AT 62K MILES, THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT HONDA HAD FIXED THE ISSUES AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT WOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WOO HOO FOR HONDA! THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM, FIXED IT, AND TOOK MEASURES TO ADDRESS IT AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. THEY SCORED BIG POINTS WITH THAT MOVE... UNTIL THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED 57K MILES LATER (10K MILES PAST THE 109K CLASS ACTION WARRANTY EXTENSION). WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS TIME, I QUESTIONED HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE TRANSMISSION THEY WERE ABOUT TO INSTALL. HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SOME OF THE EARLY REPLACEMENTS DID STILL HAVE PROBLEMS, BUT HONDA REALLY HAD FIXED THEM THIS TIME. I TOOK HIS WORD FOR IT, BUT SURE ENOUGH, 38K MILES LATER, THAT ONE FAILED TOO. HOW CAN HONDA CONTINUE TO GET AWAY WITH INSTALLING THESE FAULTY REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS? I'M NOW LOOKING AT THE WORK ORDER FOR THE FOURTH TRANSMISSION AND IT LISTS THE PART NUMBER AS '06200-P7T-030RM WARRANTY A/T KIT'. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PART NUMBER THAT WAS ON THE INVOICES FOR THE SECOND AND THIRD TRANSMISSIONS. REALLY? THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY'VE FIXED THE PROBLEMS, BUT THE PART NUMBER STAYS THE SAME AND THE OUTCOME DOESN'T CHANGE? THIS IS FRAUD. THEY ARE CHARGING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY ($4,000-6,000) FOR A PRODUCT THAT HAS PROVEN TO BE FAULTY (JUST DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON 'ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION'), AND ARE INTENTIONALLY PUTTING THE SAFETY OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AT RISK. *TR

MY HONDA 2000 ODYSSEY HAS HAD TWO TRANSMISSION GO OUT. ONCE IN 2005 (COVERED BY WARRANTY AND NOW 2010 ( NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY). THE DEALER TALKED TO HONDA HEADQUARTERS, AND SAID THEY WONT COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRANS MISSION JUST WENT OUT AND I ALMOST HAD A COLLISION WITH OTHER CARS. *TR

POWER TRAIN, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
2000 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IN JANUARY OF 2008, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT MY VAN SHOWING A TRANSMISSION CODE. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER BECAUSE I HEARD OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CONCERNING THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE HAD ONLY @53 ,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. AUGUST ODF 2010, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WITH ANOTHER TRANSMISSION CODE. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY @84,000 MILES ON IT. I SPOKE WITH ED VOYLES HONDA AND HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY ADVISED THAT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ELSE CONCERNING THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT PER THEIR JAPAN OFFICE. THE DEALER ADVISED ME THAT IF I WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A PORTION OF THE REPAIR IT WOULD HAVE CAME WITH A WARRANTY. IF I KNEW THAT I WOULD HAVE PAID SOME TOWARDS THE REPAIR. I DISCOVERED HONDA ONLY PROVIDED A WARRANTY ON THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION UNTIL THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT EXPIRED. 1999-2001 HONDA TRANSMISSIONS HAD A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. THEY BUT A BAND AID ON THE PROBLEM UNTIL THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS OVER. THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION LASTED JUST A LITTLE LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. THE INFORMATION I READ SHOWS THEY TREATED EACH CUSTOMER DIFFERENTLY CONCERNING THE CLASS ACTION SUIT. THE SERVICE MANAGER MADE SURE HE TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T BUY YOUR VEHICLE FROM US AND YOU DON'T HAVE IT SERVICE HERE. HE WAS CORRECT AND I WOULD BE BUYING ONE FROM THEM EITHER. *TR
