POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE VAN TRANSMISSION SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS DELAYED IN ENGAGING, THEN IT SUDDENLY LUNGES FORWARD. HAD IT CHECKED OUT, TECH SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. VAN HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE UNTIL NOW IT SLIPS CONSTANTLY. SINCE IT HAD UNDER 100,000 WHEN IT STARTED DOING THIS IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY HONDA BUT THEY WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMIT HONDA MINIVANS CONSISTENTLY ARE BEING BROUGHT IN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
DUE TO THE WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEY SLIDING DOORS BEING DIFFICULT TO OPEN (SEE HONDA ODYSSEY TSB 91, 10/29/02), MY DOOR HANDLE BROKE IN THE PROCESS OF ATTEMPTING TO OPEN IT. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS A HIGH NUMBER OF ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH HANDLE BREAKAGE DUE TO THE STICKING DOOR PROBLEM. THE COMPONENT THAT BREAKS IS A SMALL, UNDERSTRENGTH PLASTIC COMPONENT INSIDE THE HANDLE. BECAUSE OF A BROKEN DOOR HANDLE, DURING AN EMERGENCY--AND AT OTHER TIMES--IT COULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND FREE BACK OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY IF THE INTERNAL CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS ALSO ENGAGED, BLOCKING ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE AS WELL. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER GETTING OUR 30000 MILES MAINTENANCE COMPLETED WHICH INCLUDED (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) AN OIL CHANGE AND REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WE STARTED NOTICING A HESITATION IN THE CAR WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS REPLACED, IT TOOK LONGER THAN EXPECTED THUS I ASSUMED THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER TO HAVE THEM ASSESS THE SITUATION AND THEY FOUND THAT TWO OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. THE CAR ONLY HAS 34K MILES ON IT. IT SEEMS PREMATURE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN, THEREFORE, I FEEL IT NECESSARY TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY OF THIS PART (THE ENGINE MOUNTS).*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 42,000 MILES. THE ENGINE BEGAN ACCELERATING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLIMUNIATED. WE DROVE THE CAR STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE DAY THIS HAPPENED AND WERE TOLD WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT OVER $4000. I DON'T FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE FOR A $33,000 VEHICLE. IT WAS SERVICED LESS THAN A MONTH AGO FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CHECKED OUT PERFECTLY.

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE WHICH CAUSED A COLLISION WITH TWO VEHICLES THAT WERE STOPPED AHEAD. THE DRIVER HAD TO FORCE THE VEHICLE INTO PARK TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED TOTALED. *JB *SC
