POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE PURCHASED A NEW 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-NAVI FROM SHOCKLEY HONDA IN FREDERICK, MD. WE HAD TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES AND AS A RESULT OF A VOLUNTARY RECALL BY AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY, OUR TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A REBUILT UNIT IN APRIL 2005. THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 78,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF REPLACEMENT. WE NOW HAVE 202,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING THE SAME SHIFTING PROBLEMS AS BEFORE. I CALLED THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT HONDA IS NOT OFFERING ANY "GOODWILL" WITH RESPECT TO REPLACING THE TRANSMISSIONS. MY CONCERN IS THAT HONDA REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION IN 2005 WITH A REBUILT, UNMODIFIED (NOT REDESIGNED) TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READ ON INTERNET FORUMS THAT NUMEROUS BUYERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD 2,3 EVEN 4 REPLACEMENTS. WHAT IS BEING DONE BY NHTSA TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM? WHAT IS NHTSA DOING TO HOLD HONDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR JUST REPLACING FAILED UNITS WITH REBUILT, DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS INSTEAD OF REPLACING FAILED TRANSMISSIONS WITH NEW, REDESIGNED UNITS? *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT THIS 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY IN SEPT. 2001. IN 2007 I HAD PROBLEM WITH ITS TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REPLACED IT FREE WITH HONDA EXTENDED WARRANTY IN AUGUST 2007. IN DECEMBER 2010, ABOUT 3 YEARS AFTER GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION FROM HONDA, THE NEW TRANSMISSION ALSO WENT BAD. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE IT FREE STATING THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AT 113,000 MILES NOW AND THAT THE NEW TRANSMISSION THEY PUT DOES NOT COME WITH ANY WARRANTY! THE DEALER QUOTED $5,285 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT HONDA INSTALLED A LEMON TRANSMISSION IN MY VAN THE SECOND TIME AND SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAD A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 169,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS THE ONLY OWNER, AND IT WAS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. ON JAN, 6, 2011 AT 12:50 IN THE AFTERNOON I WAS SOUTHBOUND ON I-43 IN MILWAUKEE AND EXITED AT THE MCKINLEY/FOND DU LAC EXIT. DESPITE REPEATEDLY PUMPING AND PRESSING ON THE BRAKES, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VAN. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW IT DOWN WITH GREAT EFFORT, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FULLY STOP IT. IN ORDER TO AVOID DRIVING INTO CROSS-TRAFFIC ON FOND D LAC AVE. AT THE LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM ON THE EXIT RAMP, I TURNED UP ONTO A SIDEWALK/GRASSY AREA. THE VAN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND, IN ORDER TO STOP IT, I INTENTIONALLY DROVE IT INTO AN ABUTMENT/CONCRETE WALL THAT IS PART ON AN UNDERPASS THAT GOES UNDER I-43. I WAS IN NO WAY IMPAIRED, AND AM CERTAIN THAT I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. IN FACT, AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I LOOKED DOWN TO MAKE SURE AND MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. THE VAN WAS TOTALED AND EVENTUALLY DESTROYED. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WAS. A FIELD ADJUSTOR FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID HE CHECKED THE CABLE AND THE PLACEMENT OF THE FLOOR MATS. NEITHER WAS A CAUSE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I OWN A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. IN JUNE '06, MY TRANNY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 100K MILES. AT THE TIME, AMERICAN HONDA(AH) REPLACED IT FREE OF CHARGE UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM AS I WAS ADVISED BY LANCASTER HONDA. IN A MATTER OF FEW SHORT MINUTES & COUPLE OF MILES THE TRANNY ON MY VAN BURNT UP & I NEARLY LOST MY FATHER IN A SENSELESS SITUATION CAUSED BY AH'S MISREPRESENTATION OF FACT & CARELESS DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE. MY FATHER WAS DRIVING NB HWY 14 IN SANTA CLARITA VALLEY RETURNING HOME WHEN HE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE TROUBLE WITH THE VAN. THE VAN'S CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET @ 65 MPH & HE WAS DRIVING IN THE # 3 LANE. AS HE APPROACHED THE GRADE HE NOTICED THE TCS AND MALFUNCTION LIGHTS ON THE DASH. HE ATTEMPTED TO MERGE TO THE RIGHT TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER BUT WAS HAMPERED BY A TRUCK-N-TRAILER IN THE LANE TO HIS RIGHT. NEXT, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE A SCREAMING NOISE. AS HE STILL TRIED TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS, THE SCREAMING NOISE CONTINUED, SO HE TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE NOISE STOPPED BUT AT THIS POINT HE NOTICED SMOKING BILLOWING UP THE BACK OF THE VAN FROM THE REAR WINDOW. BY NOW, HE HAD REACHED THE TOP OF THE HILL, WITHIN MOMENTS OF TURNING OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL THE VAN HAD LOST POWER ' HE COULD NOT ACCELERATE. WITHOUT POWER & RIDING ON DOWNHILL MOMENTUM WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC SPEEDING PAST MY FATHER @ SPEEDS OVER 65 MPH HE IS STILL TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. FINALLY, THE TRUCK-N-TRAILER HAS PASSED MY FATHER & HE PROCEEDS TO MERGE RIGHT & GETS TO THE SHOULDER & HE PARKS SO. OF AQUA DULCE CANYON ROAD. THEN HE IS NEARLY HIT BY A CORVETTE DRIVING ON THE SHOULDER RACING A MUSTANG @ 100 MPH. MY FATHER CALLED FOR A TOW TO LANCASTER HONDA (LH) WHERE IT STILL SITS. LH WANTS $6K TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE FIXED. THE 'NEW' TRANNY IN '06 SHOULD LAST AT LEAST ANOTHER 100K MILES NOT ONLY 70K. MY STORY IS LIKE ONE OF THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WHO OWN HONDA ODYSSEYS. THEY PUT FAMILIES LIVES IN DANGER. BAD TRANNYS. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I OWN A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN 2006 THAT ENDED IN THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD 53,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK (1/3/11), THE 2ND TRANSMISSION FAILED. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ACCELERATING UP A HILL WHEN I LOST ALL FORWARD GEARS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK. ALL OF MY FORWARD GEARS WERE GONE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THRU REMAINDER OF THE WAY IN REVERSE. I HAVE 95,000 ON THE VEHICLE. AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR WRECK IF I HAD BEEN ATTEMPTING A MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS AND WANT NHTSA TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST HONDA. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OF 2006 DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
POWER SLIDING DOORS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ARE NOT MANUALLY OPERABLE. AUTOMACTIC DOOR FUNCTION IS ACTIVATED WITH DOOR HANDLES, FROM THE DASH, OR FROM THE KEY FOB. THESE FUNCTIONS ALTERNATELY WORK POORLY OR NOT AT ALL. ON A SNOWY & ICY DAY ONE DOOR QUIT COMPLETELY AND COULD ONLY BE OPENED AND CLOSED MANUALLY. THEN THE OTHER DOOR ALSO. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE LED ME TO USER POSTED ONLINE INSTRUCTIONS INVOLVING VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF PULLING FUSES AND TURNING SWITCHES. AFTER PULLING THE BATTERY CABLE AND LEAVING IT OFF 1 MINUTE, THEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE DOOR FUNCTION WAS RESTORED. ASIDE FROM NORMAL OPERATION BEING A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY, THE SYSTEM IS SUBJECT TO FAILURE THAT CAN BE A COSTLY VISIT TO A REPAIR SHOP OR DEALERSHIP. I HOPE LATER MODELS OF THE ODYSSEY HAVE AN IMPROVED SYSTEM IN PLACE.

SLIDING REAR DOORS FAIL TO OPEN OR CLOSE. ONE MUST REMOVE FUSE #13 TO RESET THE DOOR. IN THE EVEN OF AN ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY, PASSENGERS SITTING IN THE RE REAR SEATS COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. DEALER REPAIR QUOTES ARE IN THE $400 - $600 RANGE. BUT THE REMOVAL OF A FUSE RESETS THE DOORS. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT HERE. THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS. *TR

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ACCORDING TO THE HONDA OWNER LINK WEBSITE THERE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR THE ODYSSEY MINIVANS. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND MENTIONED THE RECALL, THEY DIDN'T RESPOND. THEY JUST DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEMS AS A SLIPPING TRANSMISSION, A NEW ECU WAS NEEDED, THE FRONT AND REAR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN AND THE RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT REAR STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THEY CONCLUDED THE TRANSMISSION WAS INDEED FAILING. THE RECOMMENDATION WAS REPLACEMENT OR A COMPLETE OVERHAUL. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY STARTED TO FAIL. ON ONE DRIVE, I NOTICED IT "SLIPPING" A LITTLE. ON THE NEXT DAY, THE NEXT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE, IT ALMOST TOTALLY WENT OUT ON ME. I WAS TRYING TO ENTER INTO A MAJOR MILE STREET, PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, WITH ONLY A SLIGHT RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. ONE CAR HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID ME, BUT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. UPON RESEARCHING THIS, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THE 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A BIG HISTORY OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THERE WAS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SETTLED WHICH EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 109,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VEHICLE HAS 121,000 MILES. I AM AN ORIGINAL OWNER AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY HONDA THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, IT'S A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AMERICAN HONDA SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME, THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE FULL PRICE THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

SECOND 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 1) DRIVING TO PICK UP HUSBAND AT DENVER AIRPORT. NO UNUSUAL DRIVING SITUATIONS. 2) 1ST TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 120000 MILES; REBUILT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 168000 MILES. 3) REPLACED FIRST TRANSMISSION WITH REBUILT ONE. HONDA KNOWS THAT THE ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILS. THEY ARE ASKING FOR $5000 TO REPLACE IT. WE CANNOT BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION; ONLY REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS. WITH HONDA ONLY PROVIDING REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS, THEY ARE GUARANTEEING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION EVERY 3-4 YEARS. ALWAYS JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE DURING SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AS IF THE VEHICLE CANNOT GAIN TRACTION. ROLLING BACKWARD AT AN INCLINE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. ENGINE SPEEDS UP, TRANSMISSION DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY SHIFT, AND WHEN IT DOES FINALLY ENGAGE THE SHIFT IS EXTREMELY ROUGH, WITH A NOTICEABLE LOSS OF ACCELERATION/POWER. OBDII CODE INDICATES A P0740 (TCC ENABLE SOLENOID CIRCUIT ELECTRICAL) PROBLEM, AND THE TRANSMISSION NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 119,344 MILES. I'VE DISCOVERED THAT AMERICAN HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT, AND HAVE ISSUED SEVERAL EXTENDED WARRANTIES PERTAINING TO TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN 1999-2002 HONDA ODYSSEYS, YET THEY HAVE NEVER ISSUED A RECALL TO CORRECT THE ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. TRANSMISSION DEFECTIVE. AGAIN. THE ORIGINAL WAS REPLACED BY HONDA UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AROUND 60,000 MILES (APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO). SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED THE OTHER DAY WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT. CLEARLY, HONDA DID NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION THE FIRST TIME WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT CORRECTED THE DESIGN FLAW. RATHER, THEY INSTALLED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION WITH THE SAME DESIGN FLAW. HONDA WAS FULLY AWARE AT THE TIME THEY FACED A DESIGN FLAW - BUT INSTALLED A FLAWED TRANSMISSION ANYHOW. THIS WAS DONE MOST LIKELY KNOWING THAT THESE TRANSMISSIONS WOULD "ON AVERAGE" MAKE IT AT LEAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND BECOME THE OWNERS PROBLEM AFTERWARDS. I, PERSONALLY, CONSIDER SUCH BEHAVIOR POTENTIALLY FRAUDULENT. THAT IS, INSTALLING SOMETHING THAT KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE AND SUBJECT TO EARLY FAILURE RELATIVE TO WHAT THE EXPECTED LIFESPAN OF THE SYSTEM IS AS MEASURED AGAINST THE NORM AND WITHIN STATISTICAL REASON. I AM AWARE OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND OUTCOME (MINOR EXTENSION OF WARRANTY). I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT SIMPLY FOR RECORD AND OUT OF DISAPPOINTMENT FOR HONDA'S ACTIONS. *TR
