POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 99 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS BEEN BABIED AND TAKEN CARE OF BY MYSELF. I HAVE NEVER HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. I REMEMBER GETTING A LETTER FROM HONDA SAYING THE TRANS. HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS 100,000. I ALWAYS HAD THE TRANS. SERVICED AT MY MECHANIC WITH A T TECH SERVICE EVERY 25,000 MILES.AT 71,000 MILES I NOTICED THE TRANS. STARTED TO SLAM INTO THE GEAR WHEN IT DECELERATED. I CALLED A HONDA DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE TRANS. LOOKED AT. I WAS TOLD THE TRANS. WAS NOT GOING INTO 1ST GEAR BUT DIRECTLY INTO 2ND GEAR. IT SHIFTED FINE WHEN I TOOK IT THEIR. I TOLD THEM IT WAS SLAMMING INTO GEAR WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTED. ANYWAY I WAS INFORMED THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I CALL AMERICAN HONDA. I WAS INFORMED AGAIN THAT THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN 2006 AT 109,000 MILES.HONDA DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY BUT NOT 10 YEARS. I RECEIVED A FACTORY WARRANTY OF 3 YEARS 36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND THEY EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS 109,000. THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY INCLUDED THE FIRST 3 YEARS.SO THEY REALLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY 4 YEARS. THEY TOLD MY INFORMATION AND WOULD DETERMINE IF HONDA WOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF A NEW TRANS.. I WAS TOLD IT TAKES 2 DAYS TO MAKE THEIR DECISION. I WAS CALLED THE NEXT DAY BY GLORIA OF AMERICAN HONDA AND SHE TOOK THE INFORMATION AGAIN AND THEN WAS ASKED WHAT I WANTED HONDA TO DO. WHEN I TOLD HER TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF MY TRANS.. SHE INFORMED ME THAT WAS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. I THEN SAID THEN YOU HAVE MADE YOUR DECISION. SHE TOLD SHE HAS NOT MADE NO DECISION YET. I INFORMED HER THEIR WERE OVER 2000 COMPLAINTS AT NHTSA ABOUT THE HONDA ODYSSEY 99 TO 2002 TRANSMISSION. AND EXTENDING THE WARRANTY AND REPLACING TRANS. WITH REMAUFACTURED ONES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND FAILING AGAIN LATER LEAVING THE $4000.00 REPAIR TO THE OWNER. HONDA REDESIGNED THE TRANS. IN 2003 AND THEY HAVE NO FAILURES. IT HAS BEEN 1 WEEK AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM AMERICAN HONDA ON THEIR DECISION. I AM JOINING A CLASS ACTION SUIT TO GET THIS CAR RECALLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING SPACES OR MAKING OTHER SHARP TURNS, VAN MAKES LOUD GROANING NOISE. HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING DONE: BRAKE DUST BLOWN OUT, ROTORS RESURFACED AND PADS REPLACED, ALL OF WHICH HELPED FOR AWHILE BUT THEN NOISE RETURNS. CAR WAS SHIMMYING WHEN STOPPING FROM FREEWAY SPEEDS BUT THAT HAS STOPPED WHEN BRAKES WERE REPLACED. HONDA CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF OTHER CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE REFERRED THEM TO THESE WEBSITES. I HAVE AN '05 EX WITH ABOUT 45K ON IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT MY ODYSSEY (CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED) WITH ONLY 11,000 MILES AND 11 MONTHS OF USE OF THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 MONTHS I STARTED TO FEEL A DELAY WHEN SHIFTING FROM ANY GEAR TO DRIVE. BUT IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARM. THE ONLY LOCAL HONDA SERVICE STATION ACKNOWLEDGES THE FAULT, BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT IT IS A NORMAL SYMPTOM OF AN HONDA VEHICLE. UNTIL TODAY I KEEP FIGHTING WITH THEM BECAUSE, I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLES TO OTHER CERTIFIED HONDA TECHNICIANS, AND THEY ALL AGREE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE LUBRICATING PROCESS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
TAILGATE CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE I WAS STANDING UNDERNEATH WHILE LOADING GROCERIES. 1.) THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. UNTIL THIS POINT THE TAILGATE HAD FUNCTIONED NORMALLY IN THE MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC OPEN/CLOSE MODE. 2.) AFTER THE TAILGATE FELL IT NEVER WORKED AGAIN UNTIL I MADE REPAIRS TO THE HOLD OPEN STRUT. 3.) I CHECKED THE STRUTS AND FOUND THAT THE DRIVERS SIDE STRUT HAD FAILED. THE STRUT HAD NO PRESSURE LEFT INSIDE TO PUSH OUT THE ROD THAT HOLDS THE TAILGATE OPEN. THE PASSENGER SIDE STRUT WAS OK AND I DID NOT REPLACE THIS. I PURCHASED A REPLACEMENT STRUT FROM MY HONDA DEALER. WHEN I CALLED TO SEE IF A PART WAS IN STOCK THE PERSON IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT ASKED ME IF THE VEHICLE WAS A "TOURING MODEL", WHICH IT IS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING MODEL, PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER, ORIGINAL OWNER, STRICTLY MAINTAINED. WHEN DRIVING IN 5TH GEAR, 40-45MPH, 1100-1200 RPM IF I START UP AN INCLINE WHERE TRANSMISSION SHOULD DOWNSHIFT, SEVERE VIBRATION BEGINS. LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. EASE OFF ACCELERATOR OR INCREASE ACCELERATION TO INCREASE RPM AND VIBRATION STOPS. STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 40K VERY INFREQUENTLY. NOW AT 53K HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. DEALER HAS LOOKED AT CAR ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS BUT CAN NOT FIND PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT THE 2003 ODYSSEY BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE AT THE SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP. 2 WEEKS AGO, AROUND 67,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHOWING PROBLEM THAT IT WOULD SLIP AND GO INTO NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE RPM FLARED AND THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION. THEN THE CAR SHOOK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION TRIED TO ENGAGE THE GEARS AGAIN. THE DEALER CHECKUP INDICATED THAT THE 2ND AND 3RD GEARS FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT MY OWN COST $3,400. I LATER FOUND OUT THERE WERE MANY OWNERS OF 2003 ODYSSEY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AUTOMATIC DOORS DON'T WORK. I DON'T TRUST THEM BECAUSE IT COULD TRAP MY YOUNG DAUGHTER PLUS WHEN THEY FAIL TO CLOSE ALL THE WAY SEEMS DANGEROUS. I KNOW THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THIS IS TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND REQUEST HONDA. I PURCHASED A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY COUNTING ON ITS QUALITY AND RELIABILITY AND UNFORTUNATELY HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED. THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED WORKING AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE CONDENSER JUST AT 37,000 MILES. BETTER YET I WAS TOLD BY HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COVERED BY WARRANTY ANYWAY BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY 'SOME ROAD DEBRIS HITTING THE CONDENSER'. WHAT IS THE ODD THAT HUNDREDS OF HONDA CUSTOMERS HAVE RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUE (EVIDENCED BY THE DISCUSSION FORUM THREADS ON MANY THAT'S OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET). HONDA'S OFFICIAL SITE STATES: 'CAUTION: RADIATOR AND CONDENSER FINS ARE VERY THIN AND EASILY DAMAGED. DO NOT BEND THEM WITH HIGH WATER PRESSURE OR BRUSH'. SO WHY THEN DID HONDA PUT THE A/C CONDENSER COMPLETELY EXPOSED ON THE FRONT OF A VEHICLE THAT CAN LEGALLY TRAVEL AT SPEEDS UP TO 75 MPH? OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE RECALLED, OR AT LEAST INSTALL A PROTECTIVE GRILLE BEFORE CUSTOMERS ARE HIT WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. 2008 AND NEWER HONDA VANS NOW COME WITH STANDARD PROTECTION GUARDS ON THE FRONT BUT IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ALL YOUR LOYALTY CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED A 2007 OR EARLIER ODYSSEY. AS A REPUTABLE AUTO COMPANY, HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THIS OUTRIGHT FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED WHEN ACCELERATING. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY REPLACED THE RELAY SWITCH. THE TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY WAS INSUFFICIENT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 120,000.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
HONDA 2003 ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHAT SCARED US MOST WAS THAT IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY RIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN OUR WHOLE FAMILY WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS WAS RIDING TOGETHER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE TRANSMISSION TOTALLY GAVE UP ON US AND THE VEHICLE COULDN'T MOVE AT ALL. OUR ODYSSEY WAS BOUGHT NEW IN OCTOBER, 2002 AS 2003 MODEL. IT HAS LESS THEN 90K MILES AND BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THE PROBLEM STARTED TO SURFACE AROUND 70K, WHICH AT FIRST DIDN'T LOOK SO SEVERE. THE ENGINE SHOOK AT STOP SIGN AND LOW REV, TRANSMISSION DIDN'T GO SMOOTHLY DURING ACCELERATION. WE HAD MECHANICS LOOKED AT IT, AND BASED ON THEIR SUGGESTION WE HAD TIRE BALANCED AND ROTATED. LAST WEEK THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, SO WE CALLED HONDA DEALER AND WERE TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL OVER THE WEEKEND TO SEE WHETHER THE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. SINCE IT HAPPENED BEFORE AND THE LIGHT DID GO OFF AFTER A FEW DAYS, WE TOOK HIS WORD. ONLY AFTER THIS INCIDENT DID I FIND OUT OVER THE INTERNET THAT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH HONDA ODYSSEY WAS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. IT RECEIVED SO MUCH COMPLAINT RESULTING INTO A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT WHICH HONDA OFFERED EXTENDED COVERAGE TO 109,000 MILES OR 93 MONTHS FOR SOME '99-01 ODYSSEYS IN THE U.S.A. ALTHOUGH FROM 2002 MODEL ODYSSEY WAS OUTFITTED WITH A FIVE-SPEED AUTOMATIC, GENERAL RELIABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT IMPROVE UNTIL 2004, WHICH THE END OF MODEL YEAR FOR SECOND GENERATION ODYSSEY. I SHARED MY STORY HOPING THAT HONDA COULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT IN 2002-04 MODELS AND TAKE SIMILAR ACTIONS, SO THAT WE AS CUSTOMER WOULD HAVE A SAFE AND PEACE-IN-MIND ENVIRONMENT EVERY TIME WE STEP INTO OUR MINIVAN. *TR

CHILD SEAT, CHILD SEAT:LATCH STRAP
WE HAVE THREE DOREL/SAFETY 1ST ALPHA OMEGA CONVERTIBLE CAR SEATS (22469-BSE). AFTER TRYING NUMEROUS TIMES TO SECURE TWO OF THE SEATS IN A REAR FACING POSITION, MY HUSBAND AND I HAD TO USE THE ANCHOR STRAP TO KEEP THE SEATS SECURE. ACCORDING TO THE BOOK THAT COMES WITH THE SEATS, THE ANCHOR IS NOT TO BE USED IN THE REAR FACING POSITION. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT IS CERTIFIED IN CAR SEAT INSTALLATION. THE FIREMAN POINTED OUT TO US THAT THE LATCH BELT ON THE TWO SEATS WILL NOT STAY TIGHT. AFTER THE LATCHES WERE SECURE AND WE TIGHTENED THE STRAPS, THE FIREMEN WERE CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THE SEATS WERE SECURE AND THE BELT WOULD LOOSEN WITH THE SLIGHTEST PRESSURE ON THE SEATS. THEREFORE, THESE SEATS CANNOT BE INSTALLED PROPERLY AND ARE DANGEROUS FOR MY CHILDREN TO RIDE IN AS IS. I CONTACTED DOREL THIS MORNING, AND ALL THEY COULD OFFER WAS A NEW LATCH BELT FOR THE SEATS WITH PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE TEN BUSINESS DAYS FOR ME TO RECEIVE THE NEW LATCH BELTS. WHEN I ASKED THE REPRESENTATIVE WHAT I SHOULD DO IN THE MEAN TIME, I WAS TOLD TO JUST USE THE SEAT BELTS IN THE VEHICLE TO SECURE THE CAR SEATS. MY QUESTION TO DOREL AND TO YOU IS WHY WOULD I WANT TO JUST USE THE SEAT BELT WHEN THE SEAT IS NOT SECURE AND SHOULD BE USED WITH A LATCH SYSTEM.

TOWED CAR TO CLOSEST HONDA DEALER IN CLEVELAND, TN WAS NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND MAIN CAR COMPUTER NEED TO BE REPLACED.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SOLENOID SWITCH, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AND POSSIBLY LOCK UP COMPLETELY. THROUGH RESEARCH, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 58,000.

I'M WRITING TO YOU TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT INTO HONDA ODYSSEY'S FROM 2000-2003. FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS HOANG PHAM AND MY FAMILY OWNS AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP IN ARLINGTON, VA AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL CUSTOMERS TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THEIR VEHICLES, ALWAYS HAVE RECOMMENDED THEIR PRODUCT TO CUSTOMERS LOOKING TO PURCHASE NEW VEHICLES SINCE WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR PRODUCTS. I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS AND HOW THEY HAVE ACCORDING TO THEM "KNOWN DEFECTS IN MATERIALS AND WORKSMANSHIP." I AM WRITING TO YOU NOW TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT GETTING REPAIRED AND HAVING THE "UPDATED" TRANSMISSION INSTALLED, MY VEHICLE NOW SITS WITH ONLY 79000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF ANY ISSUES, I OBVIOUSLY CAN REPAIR THIS VEHICLE MYSELF BUT FIND IT HARD TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT A MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGES AS A DEFECT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE HAD A 109,000 MILES OR 7 YEARS AND 9 MONTHS WARRANTY EXTENSION ON IT BUT I BELIEVE THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. PEOPLE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY, LUCKILY FOR ME MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEED GOING 60-65 MILES PER HOUR. *TR
