POWER TRAIN
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ALONG WHEN THE RPM'S STARTED GOING UP AND THE SPEED OF THE VAN STARTED SLOWING DOWN. THE STREET SHE WAS ON IS A FAIRLY HEAVY TRAVELED STREET SO SHE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. SHE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY HOME. THE NEXT MORNING AFTER COMING HOME FROM WORK, I TOOK THE VAN OUT FOR A DRIVE AND SURE ENOUGH, IT STARTED ACTING UP ON ME. IT GOT SO BAD, THAT I WENT AHEAD AND DROVE IT OVER TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP, TAKING ME ABOUT 3 TIMES AS LONG AS IT SHOULD HAVE. THE VAN WOULD ONLY ALLOW ME TO GO SEVERAL HUNDRED YARDS BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP AND THE VAN WOULD BASICALLY STOP. I WOULD PUT IT IN PARK AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES, THEN PROCEED ALITTLE FURTHER NOT GOING MORE THAN 20 MPH. AFTER THE SHOP LOOKED AT IT, THEY ADVISED ME THAT HONDA HAS HAD TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AND THAT MINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION WASN'T THE RIGHT ONE FOR THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE THAT WAS IN THE VAN. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, POWER TRAIN
ON THE FREEWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT WARNING SLIPPED AND LOST POWER. VERY SCARY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WAS BARLEY ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF THE FREEWAY WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. ONLY BY THE GRACE OF GOD DID WE MAKE IT SAFELY OFF THE FREEWAY. HONDA DEALER SAID WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 106,000. JUST A FEW THOUSAND MILES OVER WARRANTY AND HONDA WOULD ONLY GRANT %50 COVERAGE. STILL COST ME $2797.00. HONDA OF AMERICA KNOWS ALL ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT STILL DOES NOT COMPENSATE LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS. MY DEALER REPLACED THIS TRANSMISSION (THAT HAD A PREVIOUS RECALL IN 2003) WITH A "RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION" NOW ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2011 THE TCS LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND THE CAR "SHUDDERED" BADLY AT 30 MPH. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY ARE DENYING THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM? WE BOUGHT THE HONDA ODYSSEY FOR ITS SAFETY FEATURES AND RELIABILITY. HONDA AND THEIR DEALER ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I WILL LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR MY NEXT CAR PURCHASE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2003 ODYSSEY LEFT MY WIFE IN A TERRIBLE SITUATION. IT SUDDENLY FAILED WHEN SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WITH NO WARNING, IT WOULD NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE AND GROUND TO A STOP, LEAVING HER ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO BE A MANUFACTURER WITH WELL DESIGNED, RELIABLE PRODUCTS, BUT IT IS NOT SO WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. WHEN A MANUFACTURER REALIZES THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLE, BUT YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR DOES NOTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND RECKLESS TO CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE THE VEHICLE WITH THE PROBLEMATIC TRANSMISSION. *KB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION FAILURE: TRAVELLING UP A HILL ON A FREEWAY AT 70MPH WITH FAMILY/CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE, SUDDENLY & WITHOUT WARNING, TRANSMISSION WILDLY SHIFTS FROM 4TH DOWN TO 2ND/1ST, BACK TO 3RD, CONTINUES LURCHING/SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH AS RPM'S FLUCTUATE WILDLY; HOBBLED TO NEXT EXIT, SMOKE & TRANS FLUID COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. CALLED LOCAL DEALER WHO "HAS NO IDEA" WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT BUT FOR $100 WILL CHECK IT OUT. RESULT: THEY TELL ME THAT TRANS OVERHEATED & MELTED DOWN, BURNED OUT CLUTCHES, NEEDS NEW TRANS -> $4800 (REBUILT). TRANS WAS JUST FINE & TRANS FLUID WAS FINE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, CAR WAS MAINTAINED, ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OF ANYTHING AMISS. NOW I FIND OUT VIA THE INTERNET THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM W/2003 ODYSSEY'S. CALLED HONDA, THEY TELL ME, "THERE IS NO KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR" (LIE) AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE CAR CAME W/36,000 MILE WARRANTY AND WE ARE BEYOND THAT. HE ACTUALLY ASKED ME, "IS THIS THE FIRST TIME YOUR TRANSMISSION HAS BLOWN ON THIS VEHICLE? ARE YOU STILL ON YOUR FIRST TRANSMISSION?" WHICH IS A FUNNY THING TO ASK IF THERE IS NO KNOWN PROBLEM. INTERNET INDICATES THAT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE TRANS REPLACED, 2ND TRANS FREQUENTLY BLOWS ALSO. THIS CAR HAD A RECALL FOR TRANS OIL COOLING, WAS COMPLETED BEFORE WE BOUGHT (NEW FROM DEALER) & WE WERE NOT INFORMED ABOUT IT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR TRANS EXPLODES AT 70MPH WITH YOUR CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY 65 MPH WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR, THE DRIVERS SIDE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR OPENS ALL BY ITSELF. WE HAD TO FIND A PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE DOOR. THE DOOR OPENS FINE BUT WILL NOT LATCH ON AND CLOSE PROPERLY ANYMORE. THE INTERIOR CALL LIGHTS GO ON AND EVERYTHING STARTS BEEPING AND DASHBOARD STARTS FLASHING. IT IS NOT ONLY VERY DISTRACTING BUT ALSO VERY DANGEROUS. THE DOOR JUST WON'T SHUT ANYMORE. *KB

THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE WAS A TEST DONE WHICH GAVE THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE PO743. THE HONDA ODYSSEY HAS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND IS NOT WILLING TO HELP ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY RECOURSE WITH HONDA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT HAD THE RECALL UPDATE DONE YEARS BEFORE BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BURNT CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP. THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT, JUST A TRANSMISSION THAT WAS FAILING. IT SEEMS THIS IS MORE THE RULE THAN THE EXCEPTION WITH THE ODYSSEY. I HAD TO GET IT REPLACED AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I DECIDED TO GET A JASPER TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF HAVING THE DEALER REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER FAULTY HONDA TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
VEHICLE POPPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE MOVING AT 50MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. UPON STOPPING ON SIDE OF ROAD AND SHIFTING FROM D TO PARK AND BACK TO D, THE VAN WAS ABLE TO MOVE FOR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS. AT 35MPH IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR AGAIN. DID SAME THING WITH TRANSMISSION AND WAS ABLE TO "LIMP" HOME AS LONG AS VEHICLE STAYED UNDER 30MPH. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALER AND FOUND OUT TRANSMISSION IS BAD. I HAVE A 7YR/105,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT IT EXPIRED LAST YEAR. I ONLY HAVE 103,000 MILES ON THE VAN. THE REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $4200. I HAVE COMPLETE AND TIMELY SERVICE RECORDS AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR THE LIFE OF THE VAN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A TWO LANE ROAD AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTED ON ITS OWN IN A VIOLENT MANOR. THE RPS JUMPED UP. I LET OFF THE GAS AND THE AUTO WENT BACK TO NORMAL. 10 MINUTES LATER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY RUNNING 70MPH AND THE AUTO DOWN SHIFTED AGAIN IN THE SAME FASHION AS DESCRIBED BEFORE. I BROUGHT IT TO TWO SHOPS AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. BOTH TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE PROBLEM AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY HONDAS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AT 101,500 MILES AND LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND 20,000 MILES AFTER THE FIRST TRANSMISSION REBUILD, OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN IS ONCE AGAIN IN NEED OF A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REBUILD. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS ARE REPORTING. WE PURCHASED THE VAN NEW FROM HONDA IN DECEMBER 2002 AND HAVE RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED IT (OIL CHANGES, TIRES, BRAKES, TUNE-UPS, CHECK-UPS, ETC.). AT 82,289 MILES, THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION "CAME APART" WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ONE DAY. PRIOR TO THAT, THE GEARS SEEMED TO BE SLIPPING. FRUSTRATED WITH THE POOR SERVICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND THE RUN-AROUND HONDA HAS BEEN GIVING THEIR CUSTOMERS (SPECIFICALLY WITH ODYSSEY OWNERS), WE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BY AAMCO ($3500) AND WERE "ASSURED" THAT WE WERE GETTING A BETTER TRANSMISSION THAN THE ORIGINAL. HOW IS A TRANSMISSION THAT LASTS 1/4 OF THE TIME THAN THE ORIGINAL A BETTER ONE? THIS 2ND TRANSMISSION WAS FINE UNTIL FRIDAY 7/22/2011, WHEN WE WERE TAKING A TRIP DOWN TO NAGS HEAD, NC. SUDDENLY, I NOTICED WHEN WE WERE APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AWAY FROM HOME (ON I-95) THAT THE RPM WAS UP AROUND 6X, THE VAN WAS NOT SHIFTING GEARS, AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING OUT THE BACK. I QUICKLY GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE, CAME TO A STOP AND THEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT AT ALL. WE HAD IT TOWED BACK TO FREDERICKSBURG, VA AND WERE INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS "BURNT," THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WE ARE ONCE AGAIN LOOKING AT SPENDING $4-5K FOR A VEHICLE WE BOUGHT NEW, KEPT WELL-MAINTAINED, AND HAS RELATIVELY LOW MILES FOR ITS AGE (101K). WHEN WE BOUGHT THE ODYSSEY, WE ALSO PURCHASED A CR-V AND DECLARE WE WERE HONDA PEOPLE. THIS IS WHY WE ARE NO LONGER HONDA PEOPLE. THE HONDA ODYSSEYS HAVE A WELL DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS, AND HONDA HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. HONDA OWES EVERY ODYSSEY OWNER AN APOLOGY! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ABOUT A MILE OUTSIDE OF RAWLINS, WY AND THE RPM INDICATOR SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP AND THEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT INTO RAWLINS ALTHOUGH IT WAS SLIPPING GEARS AND I HAD A HARD TIME GETTING IT TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. I HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY AND WHEN I GOT TO THE GAS STATION IN RAWLINS, THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL UNDER THE CAR AND ON THE UNDER SIDE OF THE CAR. SO I CALLED AND TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC JUST BEFORE THEY CLOSED. HE QUICKLY CHECKED IT AND SAID IT PROBABLY JUST NEEDED A TRANSMISSION SERVICE. SO MY BOYFRIEND AND I TOWED IT TO CASPER, WYOMING AND TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THERE. THEY CHECKED IT AND IT CAME UP WITH 3 MALFUNCTION CODES P0710N/P0780/P1750. SO IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE MILEAGE IS AT 148417 AND I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS INDICATION THAT IT HAD ANY PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME BETWEEN $3200-$4500 TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN MY CAR. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THAT. SO NOW I HAVE NO VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. *KB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
THE VEHICLE (2003 HONDA ODYSSEY) HAS PROGRESSIVELY BEEN EXPERIENCING WHAT I'LL DEEM "ELECTRICAL" ISSUES THAT SEEM TO BE SEVERELY IMPACTING THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING THEM TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING, NOT OPEN WHEN USING THE HANDLE OR BUTTON. SPECIFICALLY, THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT OPEN, WILL NOT CLOSE OR PARTIALLY CLOSE WITHOUT FULLY LATCHING. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF USING THE MANUAL DOOR HANDLE OR THE BUTTON LOCATED ON THE DASHBOARD. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE AUTOMATIC DOORS HAVE OPENED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE CREATING AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 6-10 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE FREQUENT. IT'S HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, ON SIDE STREETS AND DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT IS CONSTANTLY DRAWING A SMALL CHARGE FROM THE BATTERY KEEPING IT IN A WEAKENED STATE. *KB

TRANSMISSION IN VEHICLE FAILED DURING OPERATION IN TRAFFIC. VEHICLE OPERATOR MANAGED TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO SAFETY DESPITE DIMINISHED OPERATIONAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS A POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY RELATED TO THIS INCIDENT. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THESE VEHICLES (2003 HONDA ODYSSEY) SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM TRAFFIC SITUATIONS UNTIL THE MANUFACTURER (HONDA) CAN PROVE THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE SAFE. THIS SITUATION IS MORE SEVERE THAN THE RECENT TOYOTA PROBLEMS. IN ADDITION TO THE HAZARD MENTIONED THE OWNER PAID THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER $4,300 FOR A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, HOPE IT GOES MORE THAN 68,000 MILES.
