SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2006 ODYSSEY HAS WARPED BRAKE ROTORS, BUT THE ORIGINAL BRAKE PADS ARE STILL IN GOOD SHAPE. ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP; THIS IS "VERY NORMAL" FOR ODYSSEY EVEN FOR 1 OR 2 YEAR OLD VAN. MY ROTORS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY ARE WARPED, NOT DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR (BECOMING TOO THIN). THIS IS MORE LIKE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT PARTS THAN NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR PROBLEM. *JS

AT APPROX. 70,000 MILES TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME AND WAS REPLACED. NOW AT APPROX. 105,000 TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AGAIN. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR TO HELP RECTIFY A POTENTIAL DEFECT IN TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. *JS

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STRUCTURE:BODY
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALER REVEALS CODE P0420. THEY (RUSS DARROW MILWAUKEE, WI) ARE SAYING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS WELL AS AN O2 SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED COST $1,200. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 110,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. STICKING SLIDING DOOR'S IN WINTER (RUSS DARROW & DAVID HOBBS MILWAUKEE, WI) HAVE ALL THE SERIVICE RECORDS ON THE STICKING DOOR ISSUSE AND THEY WHERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE IT. DEALER'S FIX FOR STICKING SLIDING DOOR WAS TO LUBE THE SLIDING DOOR EVERY WINTER INSTEAD OF FINDING A SOLUTION. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE 2002 AND NOW I JUST LUBE THE DOOR'S MY SELF INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME AT DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY HUSBAND AND I BOUGHT A USED 2001 ODYSSEY WITH 104,000 MILES. WITHIN A MONTH THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP. WE LOOKED ON LINE AND SAW THAT THE TRANSMISSION FOR THIS YEAR WAS ON RECALL. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED US THAT WE HAD EXCEEDED THE RECALL LIMIT BY 3000 MILES (WE WERE THEN AT 118,000). WE COULD HAVE A REBUILT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED FOR $4000. WE TOLD THEM THAT WAS INSANE CONSIDERING IT WAS ONLY A 3000 MILE DISCREPANCY FOR THE RECALL.....THEY SHRUGGED. WE TOOK IT TO AAMCO, WHO REBUILT IT FOR $2600, A SUBSTANTIAL SAVINGS. HOWEVER, HERE WE ARE, TWO YEARS LATER AND IT GOES AGAIN....SUDDENLY! I WAS DRIVING IN TAMPA RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR, WHEN MY TCS LIGHT COMES ON, AND MY D4 STARTS FLASHING. I FELT THE TRANSMISSION DROP WHEN I PULLED TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT. WHEN I BEGAN TO GO AGAIN, IT BARELY CRAWLED, THOUGH REGISTERING 2500 RPM. I STOPPED AT AN AUTO PARTS STORE, WHOSE COMPUTER READ VARIOUS CODES: DRIVESHAFT, O2 SENSOR, SOLENOID, AND TWO OTHERS WHICH HE SAID WERE TRANSMISSION RELATED. SO I BEGIN TO DRIVE THE CAR TO AAMCO WHICH IS 1 MILE AWAY. I HAD TO MAKE A U-TURN, AND TWO LEFTS WITH THE CAR BARELY MOVING WITH BOTH OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I GET TO AAMCO, AND HE TELLS ME THAT I PASSED MY WARRANTY WITH HIM 7000 MILES AGO AND I'M OUT OF LUCK. SO I DANGEROUSLY CHUG THIS THING AND MY CHILDREN HOME, HOPING WE MAKE IT. WE DID, BUT NOW WHAT? *TR

POWER TRAIN
WE HAVE 74,000 MILES ON A 2003 ODYSSEY. IT'S ALWAYS FELT SLIPPING AROUND 40 MPH. WE PARTICIPATED IN THE 2004 RECALL WITH THE REVISION TO THE OIL COOLER RETURN LINE, HOPING IT WOULD HELP THIS PROBLEM. NO CHANGE. AROUND FEBRUARY 2012 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO TAKE LONGER GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. WE HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED ON MARCH 2, 2012. ON MARCH 6TH WE WENT IN FOR THE FOLLOW-UP TO CHECK THE FLUID, AND LEVELS WERE FINE. ABOUT 8 MILES AFTER THAT, STARTING UP FROM A STOPLIGHT, THE CAR FAILED TO SHIFT FROM EITHER BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND OR 2ND AND 3RD, NOT SURE WHICH, BUT THE CAR WAS LURCHING AND WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 25 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND SAID WE WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A NEW COMPUTER (ECM). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DRIVER SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR STUCK CLOSED. SON COULD NOT GET OUT. PANICKED STATE BECAUSE HE WENT BACK TO GET SOMETHING FROM VAN AND CLOSED THE DOOR WHILE HE LOOKED FOR IT. COULD NOT GET OUT AS DOOR WAS STUCK. HE TRIED TO OPEN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NO USE. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN MANUALLY OR AUTOMATICALLY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER PROBLEM IF IT WERE SUMMER HERE IN PHOENIX ARIZONA AS THE TEMPERATURE COULD HAVE BEEN 115 DEGREES OR HIGHER OUTSIDE MAKING THE TEMPERATURE AT LEAST 20-30 DEGREES HOTTER INSIDE. LUCKILY THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE 80'S IN THE PHOENIX AREA TODAY. WE VISIT OUR RELATIVES IN ARIZONA AT LEAST ONCE EVERY YEAR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE DOOR ISSUES ON OUR ALMOST 3,000 MILE ROUND TRIP. WE HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND FOR SAFETY REASONS CANNOT HAVE OUR DOORS FAIL TO CLOSE OR OPEN PROPERLY FOR ANY REASON, AT ANY TIME! *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED OUR 2001 ODYSSEY VAN IN NOVEMBER OF 2000. I USED THE VAN ONLY IN THE CITY WITH LOW MILEAGE ABOUT 83,300 MILES. RECENTLY, I HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GO ON, AND SOMETIMES THE TCS LIGHT TO GO ON AND D4 LIGHT FLASHING. I FELT THE VAN WAS SLIPPING IN/OUT OF GEAR AND NOT UNDER CONTROL. I HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC CHECKED THE VAN AND TOLD ME THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AND PROBABLY NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION. AFTER RESEARCHING HONDA COMPLAINTS FOR 2001 ODYSSEYS THERE IS DEFINITELY A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSIONS. *TR
