POWER TRAIN
THIS IS THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT I HAVE ON RECORD REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. I HAVE SEVERAL SERVICE RECORDS WITH RICK CASE HONDA IN DAVIE FLORIDA REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. IN 12/08 I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION COST 1298.00. I WAS NEVER INFORMED BY HONDA THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2000 ODYSSEY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON JUNE 23 2010 WHILE TRAVELING FROM CANADA ON I-95 THE TRANSMISSION BLEW WITH HEAVY THICK BLACK SMOKE WHICH OBSCURED MY VISION. THICK BLACK OIL SPEWED EVERYWHERE AND WE WERE TRAVELING THROUGH MACON GA. THE VEHICLE BEGAN HESITATING AND IT STALLED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-95. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER BECAUSE ANOTHER VEHICLE COULD HAVE CRASHED RIGHT IN BACK OF US. I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY IN THE CAR, MY WIFE AND 4 CHILDREN AGES 16,15,11,9. I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR OFF OF THE RAMP. WE WERE GREATLY INCONVENIENCED AND HAD TO STAY IN MACON GA FOR TWO ADDITIONAL DAYS AND IT COST ME ADDITIONAL 525.00 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THAT I JUST REPLACED IN DEC 2008. HONDA NEVER INFORMED ME ABOUT THE 2000 ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF SINCE SEPT 2002. IN JAN 2007 I COMPLAINED YET AGAIN OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP. ON 11/26/11 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNPIKE WHICH IT BEGAN TO SMOKE AND SPEW OIL. AGAIN THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD HAVE CRASHED IN BACK OF MY VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR OFF THE RAMP AT BIRD ROAD AND CALL AAA. THE CARE IS AT RICK CASE HONDA. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY ---LOUD NOISES AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND VAN WAS GOING NOWHERE---COULD ONLY MOVE IF SPEED WAS KEPT UNDER 20MPH KEPT IN FIRST GEAR----------BROUGHT VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS( HE TOLD ME THE TRANNY WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ) ONLY HAVING MILEAGE IN THE 54000-55000 RANGE AND KNOWING THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AROUND TOWN AND THE OCCASIONAL VACATION TRIP SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW. I CALLED HONDA AND WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT HONOR MY MECHANICS DIAGNOSIS AND I NEEDED TO BRING IT TO A HONDA DEALER. THEY AGREED AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALSO AND CHARGED ME $120.00 FOR MY "DIAGNOSIS". THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THEY COULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER FOR $7800.00. THEY TOLD ME BOTH THE COMPUTER AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME IN ORDER TO HAVE A "WARRANTY" APPLIED TO THE NEW TRANSMISSION. I ASKED WHICH ITEM WAS BAD THE TRANSMISSION OR COMPUTER THAT TOLD THE TRANNY TO SHIFT AT THE CORRECT RPM. THEY WOULD NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION JUST THAT THE HOME OFFICE HAS SET THIS PRECEDENT ---BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME. SEEMS AS THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE AN IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON OR JUST COVERING THEMSELVES. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER WITH GENUINE HONDA PARTS FOR A LITTLE UNDER $5000.00 AND I HAVE THE "WARRANTY" THEY OFFERED AS WELL. I AM STILL WAITING FOR HONDA AMERICA TO REVIEW AND HELP ME OUT WITH PAYING FOR REPAIRS THAT I FEEL WERE VERY PREMATURE FOR THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THEIR OUTSTANDING AND BEST SELLING MINIVAN PRIOR TO THE REPLACEMENT THE DEALER OFFERED ME $750.00 FOR MY FULLY LOADED MINIVAN ------GREAT PEOPLE THESE HONDA DEALERS............. YOU DECIDE-----ME I CAN'T WAIT TO SELL THIS PIECE OF CRA_. *TR

STEERING
MY HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. IT HAS AN INCONSISTENT BUZZ, WHINE, HUM THAT CAN BE HEARD PREDOMINANTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS. AT TIMES, THE STEERING BECOMES TIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE SERVICE BULLETINS: TSB 2007 FOR THE STEERING RESERVOIR, AND TSB 2010 FOR THE STEERING PUMP. I WILL BE CALLING THE LOCAL DEALER WITH HOPES OF CORRECTING A POOR DESIGN BY HONDA. *TR

SEATS
WHEN THE SECOND ROW SEATS ARE FOLDED DOWN (IE. SOME ONE ENTERS THE THIRD ROW) .TO RETURN THE SEAT TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION YOU HAVE TO LEAN OVER THE SEAT TO RELEASE THE MECHANISM, WHICH SENDS THE SEAT BACK UP VIOLENTLY CAUSING A BLOW TO THE HEAD AND FACE AND BREAKING GLASSES, LET ALONE A SEVERE HEADACHE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO SEVERAL PEOPLE. PLEASE CHECK IF OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SAFETY SITUATION. THIS OCCURS WITH SECOND ROW CAPTAINS SEATS. *TR

MY 2004 ODYSSEY, WITH 77000 MILES, EXPERIENCED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING & NO EARLY INDICATIONS OF MALFUNCTION (SLIPPAGE, ENGAGEMENT, ETC), NOTICED TACHOMETER REVVING HIGHER THAN NORMAL THEN LOST OF DRIVETRAIN POWER WITH ENGINE STILL OPERATING. MANAGE TO EXIT HIGHWAY AND ONTO OFFRAMP BEFORE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED FROM ENGINE. THE FRIGHTENING THING WAS WE COASTED TO A STOP IN A BLIND TURN WITH VEGETATION HIDING OUR POSITION FROM OTHER EXITING VEHICLES ( SB I280 OCEAN AVE EXIT, NEXT TO CITY COLLEGE OF SAN FRANCISCO). SERRAMONTE HONDA SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME TRANSMISSION NO LONGER UNDER ORIGINAL 60000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY & THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW OF ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN THE ODYSSEY MODEL. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS TRANSMISSION FAILURES VERY COMMON WITH MANY ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVING TO GO THROUGH MULTIPLE POWER TRAINS WITH NO ADMISSION OF DESIGN FLAWS FOR SUCH PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURES BY HONDA. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPED IN 2007. IT WAS BROUGHT TO ACURA DEALER FOR CHECKUP AND WAS INFORMED NOTHING CAN BE REPRODUCED. SINCE THEN THE ISSUE HAS BEEN ON AND OFF. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPED AGAIN BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARED AND CEL(CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) WAS ON NOV 17 2011. THE VEHICLE SEEMS STUCK IN THE NEUTRAL FOR FEW SECONDS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS LUCKY THERE ARE NOT ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO HONDA/ACURA DEALER AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSES AND NO ISSUE WAS ABLE TO BE REPRODUCED.. CALL UP AMERICAN HONDA SERVICE HOTLINE, I WAS TOLD IT WAS BEYOND 3YEARS/36000 WARRANTY AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OUR 2004 ODYSSEY WENT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TODAY AND THE TECHNICIAN REPORTED BOTH A FRONT AND A REAR MOTOR MOUNT WAS BAD. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 80,000 MILES AND IS USED FOR HAULING KIDS AND GETTING GROCERIES, NOT EXTREME DRIVING AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION, DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION, AND CAUSE HOSES AND WIRES TO COME LOSE. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE EXPECTED LIFE OF SUCH AN ESSENTIAL PART CANNOT POSSIBLY BE LESS THAN 150,000 MILES. IT IS NOT A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PROBLEM, IT IS NOT A CONSUMABLE PART LIKE BRAKES AND HOSES, AND IT'S NOT A MOVING PART LIKE THE TRANSMISSION OR A PULLEY. I WOULD EXPECT THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE TO FAIL LONG BEFORE THE PARTS HOLDING THE VAN TOGETHER TO START FAILING, ESPECIALLY THE MOUNTS HOLDING THE ENGINE. THE FOLLOWING LINK SUGGESTS THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT HONDA REFUSES TO ADDRESS: HTTP://COMMUNITY.CARTALK.COM/DISCUSSION/1560611/HONDA-ODYSSEY-MOTOR-MOUNT-PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN"SOFT". IT HAS JUST BEEN GETTING WORSE.ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER JAN 2010 THE PEDAL ALMOST REACHES THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT OF A HONDA RECALL IN MAY 2010, I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AT A HONDA DEALER IN SANDUSKY, OH. SINCE THEN I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN DELAND, FL THREE (3) TIMES. ON NO OCCASION HAS THE BRAKE PEDAL BEEN ADJUSTED TO PREVENT THE PEDAL TRAVEL TO NEAR THE FLOOR. ALSO SEVERAL TIMES AS I HAD TO BRAKE SUDDENLY, MY FOOT HAS SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ALMOST CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO HIT AN OBJECT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I CANNOT EVEN SELL THIS VEHICLE KNOWING OF THIS APPARENT DEFECT. THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AT THE DEALER CONFIRM THAT THERE IS AN INHERENT DEFECT IN THE 2007 AND 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY, AND THERE IS "NOTHING" THEY CAN DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT I WILL HAVE TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY TO SETTLE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE MORE THAN 35,000 DOLLARS INVESTED IN THIS VEHICLE AND AM NOT BEING TREATED FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SHUDDER BEFORE DOWN SHIFTING ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS BY HONDA OWNERS OF PREMATURE BRAKE ROTOR WEAR AND/OR WARPING. THIS CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO SHIMMY OR VIBRATE WHEN APPLYING BREAKS DURING HIGH SPEEDS ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY. I BOUGHT MY ODYSSEY BRAND NEW AND MY DEALER SAID I ONLY HAVE 20% WEAR ON MY BRAKE PADS. BUT THE ROTOR APPARENTLY REQUIRES RESURFACING OR REPLACEMENT TO FIX THE VIBRATION. FOR THE ROTOR TO FAIL AT THIS EARLY STAGE OF WEAR AND TEAR PROCESS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT HONDA PUTS SUB-STANDARD BRAKE ROTOR COMPONENTS INTENTIONALLY TO SAVE MONEY. I'M NOT SURE OF THE POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN OF THIS PRACTICE BUT LIFE IS PRECIOUS ENOUGH NOT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES. THE BRAKING SYSTEM TO ME IS THE MOST CRUCIAL SAFETY COMPONENT OF ANY VEHICLE. I'VE OWNED MANY CARS BEFORE AND REPLACING THE ROTOR BEFORE THE BREAK PADS WITH ONLY 30K MILES IS TOTALLY SOMETHING NEW TO ME. I WAS SHOCK TO LEARN HOW MUCH RESULTS I GOT BY SEARCHING "HONDA STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION BRAKE ROTORS) ON THE INTERNET. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ANGRY ABOUT IT BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO BRING THIS UP WITH HONDA FORMALLY. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS A REVOLVING DOOR POLICY THAT THIS IS JUST PART OF THE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND COMPLETELY NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

I HAVE A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY, ORIGINAL OWNERS, AND WE HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE IMMACULATELY. I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION LAGGING AND NOT GOING INTO GEAR IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS WAS A "YOUNG TRANSMISSION", MEANING IT SHOULDN'T HAVE GONE OUT SO SOON. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND SO MANY ARTICLES RELATED TO FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HONDA HASN'T OWNED UP AND STOOD BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT HONDA IS NO LONGER ON MY LIST OF REPUTABLE COMPANIES. *TR

ON NOVEMBER 1, 2005, DAVID HOBBS HONDA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION OF MY ODYSSEY AT 37,000 MILES. UNDER THE RECALL, THE VEHICLE QUALIFIED FOR "OIL JET KIT." [OUR OTHER HONDA, AN ACCORD, GOT A NEW TRANSMISSION.] LIKE MY ACCORD, THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE LED TO A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE SIX YEARS LATER AT 111,000 MILES, THE ODYSSEY STARTED TO SEVERELY SLIP GEARS AND HAVE TROUBLE MOVING INTO THE NEXT GEAR. IT COULD NOT GET INTO 3RD OR 4TH, OFTEN REQUIRING ME TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF TRAFFIC SO CARS COULD PASS AT NORMAL MPH. THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TCS LIGHT STAYED ON. I TOOK THE ODYSSEY TO A HONDA SPECIALIST MECHANIC SHOP, CARISMA MOTORS, WHERE THE ODYSSEY HAS HAD REGULAR AND RECOMMENDED SERVICE SINCE 2002. CARISMA MOTORS DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $4,200 FOR A HONDA TRANSMISSION. CARISMA INFORMED ME THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURES WERE VERY COMMON. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA TO SAY IT SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BACK IN 2005 AND SHOULD OFFER SOME RECOURSE FOR THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS SO PREVALENT WITH ODYSSEYS. AFTER BEING PUT ON HOLD (SO THE AGENT COULD PRESUMABLY CHECK WITH A HIGHER UP), I WAS TOLD NO RECOURSE WOULD BE GIVEN BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE MILEAGE. HONDA KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOW IN 2005 THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE OIL JET WAS A BAND AID TO GET HONDA PAST THE WARRANTY THE RECALL DEMANDED. HONDA SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO AVOID TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS WITH THE OIL JET "RESOLUTION". HONDA SHOULD OFFER ITS CUSTOMERS A REMEDY FOR ITS FAULTY OIL JET REMEDY. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED HIM THAT HE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V132000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS).

TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS ARE EXTREMELY ROUGH, ESPECIALLY FROM 45 MPH. WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM THIS SPEED AND RE-ACCELERATING FROM 25 MPH (AS IN SLOWING FOR AN INTERSECTION OR TRAFFIC), THE DOWNSHIFTING AND UPSHIFTING ARE BOTH ROUGH - TO THE POINT OF WONDERING WHETHER THE TRANSMISSION WILL FALL OUT, OR NOT. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN FEBRUARY 2010 FOR A HONDA-REQUESTED TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING UPDATE. THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAND NEW VEHICLE, NEW MODEL YEAR, COULD BE ONE OF FIRST. HEADLIGHTS ARE AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN. ANY BUMP OR INCLINE PUTS HEADLIGHTS INTO ONCOMING DRIVER EYES. MAJORITY FLASH ME THAT MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ON. THEY ARE NOT. HONDA SAYS ALL PERFECT. I CANNOT LOOK INTO LIGHT - IT IS SUN-LIKE. MY HEADLIGHTS COME UP INTO ONCOMING EYES CONSTANTLY - HONDA SAYS AIMED PERFECTLY. I ASSERT THAT THIS IS SIMPLY HIGHLY DANGEROUS; HONDA WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME. ALL IS PERFECT, THEY SAY. EVEN IF I DON'T CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE'S ACCIDENT, THE QUANTITY OF PEOPLE FLASHING ME APPEARS TO BE EVIDENCE OF SPREADING ANGER, BECAUSE I CAN DO NOTHING. MY SUN-LIKE LIGHTS 'FLASH' THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN. PITY THE POOR DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME, IN MY LANE. MY BULBS ARE HALOGEN, NOT THE 'HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE' TYPE. *TR
