POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAD COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY ON SAT. NOV.8,2008. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REFURBISHED ONE SINCE NEW TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS MODEL ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. WE HAVE CONTACTED HONDA CORPORATE AND THEY HAVE AGREED TO A 50/50 SPLIT ON THE REPAIR. THIS WILL PUT US OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS AROUND 2500.00. THE VEHICLE HAS 135,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP. WE HAVE INVESTIGATED AND LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN 2003 MODEL HONDA ODYSSEYS AND I COMPLAINED WHEN I CARRIED MY VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL IN 2006 THAT THE ENGINE WAS SLIPPING WAS SLIPPING ON THE INTERSTATE BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT REPLICATE THE SLIPPING SENSATION AND I WAS SENT HOME WITHOUT A REPAIR. I WAS STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY FOR 1&1/2 HOURS AND LATE FOR WORK. I AM NOW GOING TO HAVE A USED PART IN MY VEHICLE THAT HAS FAILED ALREADY WITH ONLY A 36,000 MILE WARRANTY TO BACK IT UP. I TRAVEL TO WORK SOMETIMES IN EXCESS OF 100 MILES A DAY AND I AM NOW GOING TO HAVE TO RELY ON A PREVIOUSLY FAULTY PART. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY EMPLOYEES OF HONDA THAT THE 2003 ODYSSEY TRANSMISSIONS WERE MADE BY A COMPANY OTHER THAN HONDA AND THEY HAVE KNOWN FOR SOMETIME THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE FAULTY, BUT HAVE REMAINED SILENT HOPING THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS WOULD NOT GO OUT UNTIL AFTER THE NEW CAR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED ON THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TO SHOULDER THE EXPENSE OF REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. AFTER INVESTIGATING ONLINE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY'S WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVE KEPT SILENT, BUT THAT DOES NOT MAKE WHAT THEY ARE DOING RIGHT. THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND THEY SHOULD BE REPAIRING THEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER THAT BELIEVED IN THE HONDA NAME AND THEN GOT SADDLED WITH LEMONS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER WAS RECALLED AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 18,334 MILES IN JANUARY OF 2005. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE TENSIONER FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. A STATE TROOPER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP. THE CONTACT PAID FOR THE TENSIONER TO BE REPLACED THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. HE FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH COULD HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THE TENSIONER FAILING. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 80,095. UPDATED 11/25/08 *CN UPDATED 11/26/08. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WITH A VERY SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE I APPLIED THE BRAKES, WHICH SEEMED TO HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON STOPPING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I PUSHED VERY HARD ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED BEFORE HITTING THE SUV PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. ONLY THEN DID I HEAR THAT THE MOTOR WAS REVVED UP. UPON RELEASING THE BRAKES THE MOTOR RETURNED BACK TO IDLE. I, AT THAT POINT, REALIZED THAT I WAS INADVERTENTLY PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, WITH THE SAME FOOT SIMULTANEOUSLY (RIGHT FOOT). I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 29 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. UPON DOING MY OWN INVESTIGATING, I REALIZED THAT WITH THE PROXIMITY OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE ACCELERATOR IT WAS POSSIBLE TO BRIDGE THE DISTANCE AND APPLY BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL EASILY ALLOWED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PASS THE ACCELERATOR IDLE POSITION, ESPECIALLY WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WITH MORE FORCE. I LOOKED AT MY OTHER CARS AND NONE OF THEM WOULD EVER ALLOW THIS SITUATION TO HAPPEN, THE BRAKE PEDAL NEVER PASSES THE ACCELERATOR IDLE POSITION. I NOW UNDERSTOOD WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME AND FEEL THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT. THE MORE YOU PUSH ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE MORE YOU COULD UNKNOWINGLY PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I BOUGHT A NEW 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX REAR DVD AND NAVIGATION VAN. A FEW DAYS BACK (AT 26,000MILES AND LESS THAN 3YRS), THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE OF THE CAR... I QUICKLY PULLED OVER CALLED THE DUBLIN HONDA, CA DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER I THAT I WAS ADVISED THAT THE A/C CONDENSER HAS A HAIR-PIN SIZE HOLE (NOT VISIBLE TO NAKED EYE) AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY HONDA BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.. I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT. I HAD TO PAY $880.76 FOR THIS REPAIR FOR A $40,000.00 VAN WHICH IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY.... THIS IS RIDICULOUS.. HONDA PUT THE CONDENSER AT THE WRONG PLACE (WITHOUT A FRONT GUARD) AND MAKE ITS CUSTOMERS PAY FOR ITS RIDICULOUS DESIGN.. IN THE NEW MODELS NOW THEY HAVE PUT A GUARD TO PROTECT THE CONDENSER. I URGE YOU TO FINE HONDA FOR THIS AND HAVE THEM ISSUE A RECALL ON THEIR FAULTY DESIGN OF WHICH THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN VICTIM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. MY FIRST VAN WAS COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER SAFETY FACTORS. MY REPLACEMENT VAN HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 70,000 IN 2004 BECAUSE IT WENT OUT. NOW MY VAN HAS 150,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TRANSMISSION IN MY VAN. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONSIDERING IT ONLY HAS 80,000 ON THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION. WHEN ONE PURCHASES A VEHICLE THEY ARE TRUSTING THAT THEY ARE PURCHASING A VEHICLE THAT WILL BE RELIABLE. I JUST WANT HONDA TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEFECTED PARTS. *TR

TIRES, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE INDEPENDENT DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN PULLING TO THE LEFT. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AND AN ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED. SHE ALSO OBSERVED A MASSIVE OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE SHE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE 30-DAY USED CAR WARRANTY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS CRASH, IN WHICH THE CRANKSHAFT WAS SEALED AS WELL AS THE ORIGIN OF THE MASSIVE OIL LEAK. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE SEALANT PREVIOUSLY USED ON THE CRANKSHAFT AND THE TIRES WERE BEGINNING TO LOOSEN. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 105,000. UPDATED 12/15/08 *CN THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW CRANK SEAL, WATER PUMP AND TIMING BELT. UPDATED 12/16/08. *JB

I CALLED HONDA IS REGARDS TO THIS ASKING WHAT THE WARRANTY WAS , THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY A 3 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION, I HAD 75000 MILES ON IT..SO I WENT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND NOW 1 YEAR LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM VISITING MY SON AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA AND MY VAN WAS JERKING WHENEVER IT WAS SHIFTING INTO A DIFFERENT GEAR...AGAIN A GREAT HAZARD ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC WITH CARS GOING 60-90 MILES PER HOUR...THIS IS A GREAT DEFECT ON HONDAS PART WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS...I ONLY HAVE 83000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DISCOVERED 2 ERROR CODES - P1676(IGNITION SWITCH) AND P0740(TRANSMISSION), THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING IGNITION, WHICH I OK'D AND THEY DID FOR $286.58. THEY HOPED THE SECOND ERROR CODE WOULD GO AWAY, BUT IT DIDN'T. NOW I AM LOOKING AT A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS EXPENSE TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR ON THE DAY OF THE VISIT 9/26/2008 HAD 80,702 MILES ON IT. I AM LOOKING ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF SUCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OTHER PEOPLE HAD WITH HONDA ODYSSEY AND THERE WAS A SUCCESSFUL CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN CALIFORNIA AGAINST HONDA FOR 1999-2001 ACCORD TRANSMISSIONS THAT SHOWED THE SAME MALFUNCTION CODE. I AM THINKING HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR ODYSSEY TOO, SINCE THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE MORE WIDESPREAD IN THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW AND VIGILANTLY MAINTAIN IT. WITH FEWER THAN 43,000 MILES, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO PROPERLY "LOCKUP" AT 45 MPH ON LEVEL GRADE WHEN WARM. THE DEALERS SCAN TOOL INDICATED ABSENCE OF ANY DETECTED ABNORMALITY, BUT THEIR TEST DRIVE CONFIRMED THE SYMPTOM--PULSING POWER TO THE DRIVE WHEELS. THEY TOLD ME THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS FAILING WHICH THEY DON'T REPLACE NOR REPAIR SO THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE. THEY NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED A HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS NOR ANY RELATED SERVICE CAMPAIGNS OR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. I AM, LIKE I SAID, VIGILANT ABOUT SERVICE, SO I WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE IT BECOMES AN ISSUE, BUT OTHERS MAY BE AT RISK IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILS RAPIDLY DUE TO IMPROPER DESIGN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
4 WEEKS AGO THE TRANSMISSION IN OUR 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH @73000 BEGAN SLIPPING OCCASIONALLY. GAS MILEAGE SUFFERED. SLIPPING OF TRANSMISSION HAS INCREASED. CAR WILL LOSE POWER AT HIGH SPEEDS AND LOW SPEEDS FOR 10-15 SECONDS 2X - 3X IN A 15 MILE DRIVE. DANGEROUS IF I'M IN FAST LANE OR CAN'T PULL AWAY FROM LIGHT. DON'T EVER ACCELERATE HARD, FEAR OF SLIPPAGE. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACING. COST $6100. CALLED DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE. HE CALLED HONDA FACTORY REP AND REDUCED COST TO $3440. *TR

MY EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR FAMILY BACK TO ELKO, NEVADA 54 MILES OUT OF WENDOVER UTAH OUR CAR MADE A SOUND AS IF WE HAD A FLAT TIRE OR HAD HIT SOMETHING WE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOTHING, MY HUSBAND THEN PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE NO MOVEMENT REVERSE NO PROBLEM. OUR VAN WAS TOWED TO SLC, UTAH TO THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED THE CAR FROM, THE NEXT DAY WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT THE COST OF $5600.00. MY VAN HAS ONLY 99,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS A HONDA! THIS HAPPENED THREE DAYS AGO I HAVE CALL INTO THE HONDA CORPORATION WAITING TO HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY AND WHAT THEY ARE WILLING TO DO. MY MAIN CONCERN WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD OUR FAMILY BEEN IN CITY TRAFFIC! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
PURCHASED A BRAND NEW HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 EX-L FROM FREMONT HONDA IN 2005. JUST AFTER TWO YEARS WHEN THE BRAKES ARE HOT AND ARE APPLIED SHARPLY E.G. WHEN COMING DOWN A HILL THEY MAKE A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. SOUND SEEMS TO COME FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CAPITOL HONDA FOR A REGULAR OIL SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE SOUND IS NORMAL, IT IS THE ABS KICKING IN. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, AS I FEAR THE BRAKES WILL FAIL ONE DAY AS IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL ON METAL AND MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT ONE DAY. I HAVE RAISED THIS CONCERN WITH AMERICAN HONDA WHO HANDLES CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH ONLY 21,000 MILE ON THE VAN. THEY STATED I AM OUT OF WARRANTY OVER 3 YEARS/ 36,000 MILES AND TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALER. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 10/31/08. I WANT TO ELEVATE THIS ISSUE/ CUSTOMER CONCERN TO NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE GRINDING BRAKE NOISE OF 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. ALSO CONDUCT A GOOGLE SEARCH ON HONDA ODYSSEY GRINDING BRAKE NOISE AND YOU WILL SEE HUNDREDS OF ARTICLES - THERE IS CLEARLY A FAULT THAT HONDA NEEDS TO RESOLVE AND RECALL ITS VEHICLES AND FIX FREE OF CHARGE BEFORE LARGE SCALE ACCIDENTS OCCUR. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH APPROXIMATELY 87,000 MILES. THE VAN SUDDENLY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH JUMPING AS IT TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS. HONDA ISSUED A RECALL SEVERAL YEARS AGO INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE AND OTHER MODEL YEAR ODYSSEYS IN WHICH A REPAIR WAS MADE TO THE VAN TO SUPPOSEDLY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER IS NOW SAYING WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2003 MODEL YEAR ODYSSEYS. *TR
