POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
NO UNUSUAL EVENTS LED TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN SUBURBAN TRAFFIC, MOSTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WITH THE OCCASIONAL STOPLIGHT. THE FAILURE IS THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT, OR SHIFTS WITH A LURCH OR A SHUDDER, GENERALLY IN THE HIGHER GEARS. IT ALSO OCCASIONALLY FAILS TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND REQUIRES SEVERAL MOVEMENTS OF THE SHIFT LEVER. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED, AND IS A KNOWN DEFECT OF THIS YEAR TRANSMISSION AND VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION, THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO BE REPLACE AND THEY SAID THAT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DO. I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME WHILE I AM DRIVING, ESPECIALLY I USE FREEWAYS AND HIGHWAYS UP TO 95%. THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPEN TO THE TRANSMISSION WHEN IT STARTS BREAKING APART AND FELL OF ON THE HIGHWAYS OR FREEWAYS... THAT IS A REALLY BIG PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TCS/CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. PREVIOUS OWNER CONFIRMS THAT TCS/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED ON BEFORE. IN BOTH CASES, THE REPAIR SHOP RESET THE LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. ON THE MOST RECENT SHOP VISIT, THE LIGHTS WERE RESET AND THE REPAIRMAN COMMENTED ON A SLIGHT LATE SHIFT BETWEEN 1 AND 2. I HADN'T NOTICED ANYTHING UP UNTIL THIS POINT, SO I DECIDED TO WAIT AND WATCH FOR THE SHIFT ISSUE. 6 MONTHS LATER, THE LATE SHIFT PROBLEM HAS GROWN. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO REV TOO HIGH AND SHUDDER WHEN THE SHIFT IS FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED. IT IS SOMETIMES POSSIBLE TO APPLY THE GAS PEDAL IN A VERY SPECIFIC MANNER TO AVOID THE STUTTER. OTHERWISE IT OCCURS DURING EVERY SHIFT BETWEEN 1 AND 2. HAVING FOUND MANY OTHER EXAMPLES OF THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY WORK DONE (PENDING A REQUEST THAT HONDA PAY FOR THE REPAIR). *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ANOTHER 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY P0740 TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA HAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED KNOWN TRANSMISSION DEFECTS IN 2002 AND 2003 MODELS. CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY 2000 MODELS ONLY GOT AN WARRANTY EXTENSION. (UN)LUCKILY, MY TRANSMISSION LASTED LONG ENOUGH TO PASS THE EXTENDED MILEAGE LIMIT. HONDA SHOULD RECALL THE 2000 TRANSMISSIONS AS THEY DID WITH OTHER MODELS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING HAS SOFT BRAKES AT LOW MILEAGE AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 25,000 MILES SINCE THEY WERE RUSTED OUT, EVEN THOUGH BRAKES HAD BEEN SERVICED BY HONDA AT ALL PRESCRIBED SERVICE INTERVALS. HONDA REPLACED ALL 4 ROTORS AND PADS AT MY COST, CLAIMING THAT THIS WEAR WAS NOT ABNORMAL AND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COVERED EVEN IF THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER ORIGINAL 3-YEAR WARRANTY. MY CONCERN (WHICH I SHARED WITH THEM) IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE PARTS FAILED AFTER A VERY SHORT INTERVAL EVEN THOUGH THE VAN WAS SERVICED AT THE INTERVALS PRESCRIBED BY HONDA AT A HONDA DEALER. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE BRAKING DISTANCE WITH THE RUSTED-OUT ROTORS INCREASES STOPPING DISTANCE DRAMATICALLY, EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE CONTACT HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. HE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY STEERING THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE MOVING THE VEHICLE STALLED AND NO LONGER COULD OPERATE UNTIL STOPPED, PUT INTO PARK, AND TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. DEALER EXPLAINED THAT IGNITION SWITCH OF CAR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IGNITION SWITCH WAS ALREADY REPLACED IN 2002 UNDER HONDA RECALL AND IT FAILED AGAIN. IGNITION SWITCH REPLACE IN 2008 WAS PAID BY OWNER, NOT HONDA. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I'VE BEEN APPROACHED BY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR WHO WARNED ME THAT AROUND 125 THOUSAND MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD START TO ACT UP ON THE VEHICLE AND AT 125 IT DID. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ODYSSEY THIS REPAIR COMES UP TO $3200 HUNDRED DOLLARS. I DON'T THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD FITTING THE BILL FOR A PROBLEM THAT THE DESIGNER KNOWS ABOUT IN THE CAR, SO PLEAS CHECK THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE THANK YOU *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS OCCURRED IMO BECAUSE HONDA HAS FAILED TO PROPERLY HANDLE THE QUALITY ISSUES WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. THIS STRANDED MY WIFE AND CHILDREN, AND COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD THIS BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

TIRES
I PURCHASED A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY BACK IN NOV, 2006. WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR A VAN I ASKED THE SALES PERSON IN ROCK HONDA IN FONTANA, CA THAT I NEEDED A GOOD CAR BECAUSE I HAD CHILDREN AND I DID NOT WANTED TO BE HAVING PROBLEMS ON THE ROAD AND OF COURSE I'M WAS A WOMAN THAT DIDN'T DO ANY AUTO WORK, SO I NEEDED SOMETHING EASY TO MAINTAIN, WELL TO MY SURPRISE THE TIRES THAT THIS VAN HAS, BUT THAT I WAS NOT TOLD AT THE DEALER THAT THESE TIRES (PAX SYSTEM) WEAR REALLY FAST AND ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND ONLY A HONDA DEALER CAN CHANGE THEM. WHEN I TOOK MY VAN TO HAVE THE TIRES CHANGED, I TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND TOLD ME THAT ONLY A HONDA DEALER OR A CERTIFIED SHOP COULD DO IT AND THE COST IS $1,500.00 TO CHANGE THEM. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE ROCK HONDA AND THEY ACTUALLY HUNG UP ON ME 3 TIMES, ONE OF THE SALES PERSON TOLD ME THAT TIRES WERE EASY TO CHANGE THAT "HE COULD PURCHASE AND CHANGE TIRES IN HIS OWN GARAGE" THAT THE PEOPLE FROM THE SHOP DID NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT. WELL I CALLED HONDA MOTOR CO,INC AND MICHELIN AND THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS APOLOGIZED FOR THE INCONVENIENCE. IF I HAD KNOWN THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE SUCH AN EXPENSIVE MAINTENANCE I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT, BUT OH WELL I'M STUCK WITH IT NOW, AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, THE ROOF IS LEAKING AND THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER LEAKS, AND THE DOOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN IT OPENS AND CLOSES BUT IT'S THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE BRAND NEW, 2007, HONDA ODYSSEY I NOTICED A RELUCTANT FEELING WHEN I DROVE IT. EVEN WHEN I DROVE IT AROUND TOWN FOR EVERYDAY ERRANDS OR IF NEEDED TO TAKE LONG TRIPS I STILL FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS FIGHTING ME. EACH TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR IN I WOULD ASK THEM TO LOOK THE CAR OVER FOR A PROBLEM THAT WOULD CONVEY WHY I WAS HAVING THIS BUCKING FEELING. MY FIRST DOCUMENTED COMPLAINT WAS IN APRIL OF 2008. THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. MY SECOND COMPLAINT WAS OCTOBER OF 2008 STATING THE VEHICLE HESITATES. EVERYTIME I TOOK IT IN TO DCH KAY HONDA IN OLD BRIDGE WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR THEY FOUND NOTHING. IT WAS NOT UNTIL MY BROTHER DROVE IN MY CAR IN THE WINTER OF 2009, WHEN HE SAID THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION DEALER AND GET IT CHECKED. I KNEW THAT IF AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION DEALER LOOKED AT IT OR TOOK IT APART MY WARRANTY WOULD BE VOID SO I FOUND ONE WHO TOOK IT FOR A ROAD TEST AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING DOWN TO 4TH AND SOME HOW JUMPING INTO 5TH AUTOMATICALLY. AFTER THIS I TOOK IT TO DCH KAY HONDA IN EATONTOWN AND STATED WHAT WAS FOUND OUT IN FEB. OF 2009. THEY SAID AGAIN THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I STILL HAVE A RELUCTANT FEELING WHEN I AM DRIVING THE CAR BUT FEEL AS THOUGH MY TIME IS BEING WASTED BY RUNNING BACK AND FORTH TO THESE DEALERS. I NOT ONLY LOOSE TIME, MONEY BUT MY CAR WHILE EITHER WAITING FOR IT OR BEING WITHOUT AT HOME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN, IT HESITATES, OR HAS A FLAT SPOT WHEN ACCELERATING AT STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. HAVE HAD TROUBLE SOON AFTER PURCHASE, AND DOES IT WAY TO OFTEN. HAD A 2002 ODYSSEY WHICH DID THE SAME THING SO I REPLACED IT WITH THE 2005 AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. YET THE HONDA DEALER TELLS ME THEY HAVE HAD NO OTHER REPORTS ABOUT SUCH A PROBLEM. AT PRESENT IT IS AT THE DEALERS. THEY CALLED ME YESTERDAY, AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I ASKED THEM TO KEEP IT A WHILE LONGER AND DRIVE IT AND MAYBE THEY COULD FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

2002 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION-ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. DEALER HAS DONE ALL SERVICE WORK AND RECALLS ISSUED TO DATE AND TRANSMISSION STILL IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY FOR A WELL MAINTAINED 2002 ODYSSEY WITH ONLY 58,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION IS A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN BACKING IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY YESTERDAY, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE. THE DEALER WANTS $4,000 TO REPLACE? *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, INTERIOR LIGHTING
MY COMPLAINT REGARDING MY HONDA ODYSSEY MAY BE MORE OF A MANUFACTURER OVERSIGHT THAT MAY NOT POSE AN IMMEDIATE HARM TO ITS OCCUPANTS/OTHER DRIVERS, BUT RATHER POTENTIAL HARM TO ITS OCCUPANTS OTHER DRIVERS. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE LIGHTS. THE INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS ARE ON CONTINUOUSLY, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS ONLY GO ON MANUALLY. WHILE THIS IS FINE DURING THE DAY, IT POSES THE POTENTIAL HARM AT NIGHT WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON AND THEY HEADLIGHTS DO NOT. I LIVE IN A CITY AND A FEW TIMES AT NIGHT WHILE LEAVING A VERY LIT AREA, I HAVE FAILED TO TURN ON MY HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE WITH THE DASHLIGHTS ON I HAVE FORGOTTEN. WHILE THESE OCCURRENCES WERE MY ERROR, I FEEL THAT WITH CAR LIGHTING IT NEEDS TO BE ALL OR NOTHING. WHILE THE MANUFACTURERS MAY SEE THIS FEATURE AS A CONVENIENCE I SEE IT AS A HAZARD. IF THE DASH LIGHTS ARE ON ALL OF THE TIME, THEN THE HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE ON. DRIVING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS ON AT NIGHT IS HAZARDOUS TO ALL AROUND AND AS I SAID, I LIVE IN A CITY WHERE IT IS BRIGHTLY LIT AND MANY TIMES THE STREETS ARE SO BRIGHT MY HEADLIGHTS DO NOT MAKE THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE FOR MY LIGHTING BUT RATHER JUST MAKE ME NOTICEABLE TO OTHERS. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECTIFIED. I KNOW THAT OTHER CARS HAVE AN AUTO FUNCTION, WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS CAN BE LEFT ON ALL OF THE TIME TO GO ON WHEN IT GETS DARK AND THIS WOULD BE A SAFER FEATURE THAN HAVING THEM MANUALLY OPERATED WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS ARE ON ALL OF THE TIME. OR THEY CAN MAKE IT SO THAT THE DASH LIGHTS GO ON WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNED ON. LIKE I SAID, WITH LIGHTS IS NEEDS TO BE ALL OR NOTHING (ALL MANUAL OR ALL AUTOMATIC, NOT HALF AND HALF). IT IS JUST TOO CONFUSING AND IN MY CASE, LIKELY TO BE FORGOTTEN. WHILE THIS ISSUE MAY NOT HAVE CAUSED HARM YET, I DO BELIEVE THAT IT HAS SUFFICIENT POTENTIAL TO CAUSE HARM AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THIS IS A FAILURE ON THE MANUFACTURERS PART TO SAVE MONEY, BUT IT HAS MADE A MINI VAN (WHICH IS KNOWN FOR SAFETY) TO FEEL UNSAFE. ESTIMATED DATE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT HAD A TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN NOV 2006 BY LOCAL HONDA DEALER HERE IN NORTHERN ITALY. THE TRANSMISSION ONLY LASTED 2 YEARS, 2 MONTHS AND 32K MILES. THE 2001 ODYSSEYS WERE GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH COVERED THE FIRST ONE, BUT I'M BEING TOLD I'M OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY, SO THE NEXT TRANSMISSION ISN'T COVERED. AS OF TODAY, THE ODYSSEY ENGINE IS FINE BUT THE TRANSMISSION WON'T ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. IT'S HARD-BROKE. MY CHIEF COMPLAINT IS HONDA NOT REPLACING THE NEW TRANSMISSION THAT ONLY LASTED 2 YEARS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ONE WEEK BEFORE I TOOK MY VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, I NOTICED THAT MY VAN WOULD ROLL BACK FROM THE R POSITION WHEN I PUT IT IN THE D POSITION. THEN ONE NIGHT THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING UP FROM A STOP POSITION AS I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. THAT SCARED ME, SO I STOPPED DRIVING AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TEST DROVE IT AND CHECKED THE VAN OUT TO DISCOVER THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND TOLD ME THAT AT THIS POINT IT WAS NOT EVEN DRIVABLE. I WOULD NEED TO TOW IT IF I MOVED IT. THE COST FOR REPAIR WOULD BE APPROX. $5200 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND AN ENGINE CONTROL SWITCH. AFTER MY SHOCKED REACTION, THE DEALERSHIP MADE SOME CALLS AND BROUGHT THE PRICE DOWN TO $2100. WITH ONLY 95,000 MILES ON MY VAN, I DON'T THINK MY TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE FAILED. I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA. THEY REVIEWED MY CASE AND BECAUSE I ONLY DONE ONE MAINTENANCE SERVICE AT 30,000, THEY WOULD NOT COME DOWN IN PRICE. I CHANGE MY OIL REGULARLY. HAVE BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND BRAKES. BUT, COULD NOT AFFORD TO GO FOR THE FOLLOWING TWO MAINTENANCE CHECKS BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS ILL AND ON DISABILITY. STILL, HONDA COULD DO NO MORE ON THE PRICE. I FELT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON HONDA ODYSSEYS. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE 2001-2002 MODELS, BUT WOULD NOT DO IT FOR MY 2003. I AM UPSET, BUT NEED MY VAN BACK TO GET MY 3 CHILDREN PLACES. SO, I AM GETTING IT REPAIRED FOR THE $2100. STILL, I AM NOT HAPPY AND SEE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THE 2003 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY DOOR HAD BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR A FEW MONTHS WHEN I TOOK IT IN YESTERDAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE AUTOMATIC REVERSING MECHANISM KICKED IN THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, A ROLLER BEARING SNAPPED OFF. I SHOWED THE BROKEN BEARING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, BUT HE SAID HE COULDN'T FIX IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TO USE THE MANUAL OVERRIDE. WHEN I GOT BACK HOME, I PUT MY DAUGHTER INTO THE MIDDLE CAR SEAT AND COULD ONLY OPEN THE SLIDING DOOR HALF WAY MANUALLY. I CLOSED IT MANUALLY AND REOPENED IT AND THE DOOR FELL OFF SMASHING INTO MY KNEES PINNING ME AGAINST THE ADJACENT CAR, AND I REQUIRED ASSISTANCE TO REMOVE THE DOOR FROM MY BODY. THE DOOR HAD TO BE SECURED WITH RATCHET STRAPS AND TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE BEEN INJURED BY THE DOOR. *TR
