POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE HAS ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE WE ACQUIRED IT IN 2006. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT JUST OVER 100,000 MILES. AFTER A HUGE FIGHT WITH HONDA THEY RELUCTANTLY AGREED (BECAUSE IT WAS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE "WARRANTY EXTENSION" FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT) TO PAY HALF THE COST OF THE REPAIR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO COME ON, IN ADDITION TO OTHER ISSUES, INCLUDING EGR PROBLEMS, DESPITE REPLACING THE EGR, ETC. THE VEHICLE IS NOW AT APPROXIMATELY 165,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AGAIN!! *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THERE WAS NO OTHER ISSUES. LATER CHECKED WITH THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH $4500. CHECKED THE HONDA OWNER LINK AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HONDA'S TRANSMISSION. IT EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY ON IT TO 100000 MILES/7 YEARS. MY CAR IS ALMOST 13 YEARS. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA DEALER TO SERVICE. I WAS NEVER BEEN TOLD IT HAD A RECALL. READ ON INTERNET ABOUT HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION, THERE WERE SO MANY MANY ODYSSEY OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE I HAVE NOW. IT WAS HONDA'S DESIGN FAULT. CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA AND FILED COMPLAIN. IT WAS RUDE AND COLD.IT IS TRUE MY CAR WAS ALMOST 13 YEARS. TOLD TO SOME MECHANICS ON THIS ISSUE, THEY ALL TOLD ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE COMMON AMONG HONDA CARS. I WAS LUCKY THE CAR WAS NOT DIE WHEN WE WERE 500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE BOUGHT MY USED ODYSSEY IN JANUARY 2012 FROM A DEALER AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 107,000 MILES. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2004 THAT HAD THE WARRANTY UP TO 100,000 MILES AND AN APPROVED CLASS LAWSUIT IN 2006 THAT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 109,000 MILES. THEREFORE, MY VAN IS STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY SINCE ITS AT 107,000. I STRONGLY REQUEST THAT THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND THAT HONDA FIXES AND PAYS FOR THE REPAIR; OR AT LEAST GIVE ME A CALL AND DISCUSS THE MATTER. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO PAY FOR THE TRANSMISSION ENTIRELY BECAUSE I AM A STUDENT AND I SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD IT. THANK YOU. *TR

CAR BEGAN TO RUMBLE AND VIBRATE WHEN I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE. THERE WAS A LOUD POP NOISE WHEN ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND AGAIN WHEN I STARTED IT THE NEXT MORNING. THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXHAUST PROBLEM BUT MY RIGHT FRONT ENGINE MOUNT WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ENGINE MOUNTS I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY. MORE THAN LIKELY, I WILL BE NEEDING THE OTHER MOUNTS REPLACED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. IF SOMEONE THINKS IT IS AN EXHAUST ISSUE, THEY MAY PUT OFF HAVING IT CHECKED WHICH CAN PUT STRESS ON THE OTHER MOUNTS. SEEMS TO ME WITH THE FREQUENCY OF THIS HAPPENING TO THIS MODEL CAR, IT SHOULD BECOME A RECALL ISSUE. CAN BE A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD IF SEVERAL OF THE MOUNTS BREAK AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST GEAR TO SECOND IT SLIPS AND SUDDENLY GOES INTO GEAR, ALSO WHEN IN 4TH GEAR IT TENDS TO SLIP, REV UP THEN JUMPS BACK INTO GEAR. I THINK ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I READ THE FOURMS ON PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANS ON THE ODYSSEY AND NOTICED THERE IS TOO MANY COMPLANTS ON THE SAME PROBLEM. I HOPE YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE FOR ME AND ALL THE OTHER HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS. THANK YOU...... *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER ONLY 60,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL WHEN UPSHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS AND THEN SUDDENLY ENGAGES WITH A DANGEROUS SURGE FORWARD. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONDITION PERSISTED FOR TWO DAYS AND REQUIRED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL WITH A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS ALL TOO COMMON IN HONDA ODYSSEY VANS. *JS

START VEHICLE AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TCS (TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) LIGHT GOES ON AND CAR VIBRATES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH HONDA TRANSMISSIONS. IN FACT, THERE'S A DEDICATED WEBSITE AT WWW.ODYSSEYTRANSMISSION.COM FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS OR ISSUES. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA THIS MORNING AND TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EVEN THOUGH AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION THEY'VE PUT IN. THEY GAVE ME A CASE# N012012-06-1100441 AT THIS POINT AM GOING TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT THIS AFTERNOON WEARY OF HAVING TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION FOR $3K. *TR

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY - HAD TRANS. REPLACED IN 2005 WITH 98,000 MILES ON CAR. NOW NEED TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED (7 YEARS LATER, 98,000 MILES AGAIN). I AM FRUSTRATED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE A 7 YEAR OLD TRANSMISSION. I HAVE BEEN METICULOUS ABOUT MAINTENANCE ON THIS CAR. ALL SERVICE BY HONDA DEALER. I HAVE OWNED OTHER BRANDS OF CARS AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION. SPOKE TO HONDA AMERICA REP AND MY CAR REPAIRMAN. NEITHER WERE ABLE TO HELP ME TO GET ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. HOW DISAPPOINTING. I KNOW IT IS BEYOND THE WARRANTY FROM THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR. HOWEVER, THE 7 YEAR REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION THAT WAS DONE IN 2005 MAY BE DEFECTIVE AS RECOGNIZED IN THE 2006 CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAIN HONDA. HOWEVER, THAT DOESN'T MATTER ACCORDING TO HONDA AMERICA. I AM BEING FACED WITH A $4000 REPAIR OR PURCHASING A NEW CAR (WAS NOT PLANNED FOR ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO). PROBABLY WILL NOT BE A HONDA IF WE GO THE ROUTE OF PURCHASING A NEW CAR. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON HUNTINGTON DRIVE, 40 MPH, AT 5 P.M., I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE ENGINE JUST REVVED AND I WENT NOWHERE. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, AND MY VAN "JUMPED" FORWARD. FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT REAR-ENDED AND THE DRIVERS ALLOWED ME TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT, WITH MY EMERGENCY BLINKERS, NOW ON. ALSO, NO BIKERS WERE ALONG SIDE ME! I STOPPED THE CAR AND PARKED. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS NORMAL. I STARTED THE CAR, GINGERLY WENT A BLOCK WHEN IT TOTALLY DIED. I WAITED FOR 3 HOURS, AAA SYSTEM HAD LINES DOWN FOR SOME REASON, AND A SO. PASADENA TOW TRUCK CAME TO THE RESCUE. I WAS THEN TOWED TO HORIZON HONDA, THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS...COMMUNICATION WITH HONDA AND HORIZON TO GET APPROVAL FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION...TOOK AWHILE! LUCKILY,I WAS 6 MONTHS OR 300 MILES AWAY FROM THE 3 YEAR OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY, SO THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED FOR FREE! ALL I AM ASKING IS THE SAME WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION. HONDA IS NOT OFFERING ONE. I WILL WRITE, CALL, COMPLAIN, ETC., UNTIL I GET ONE! DOES HONDA NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR TRANSMISSIONS? I WILL BE IN NEED OF A CAR SOON... *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STRUCTURE:BODY
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALER REVEALS CODE P0420. THEY (RUSS DARROW MILWAUKEE, WI) ARE SAYING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AS WELL AS AN O2 SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACED COST $1,200. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 110,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. STICKING SLIDING DOOR'S IN WINTER (RUSS DARROW & DAVID HOBBS MILWAUKEE, WI) HAVE ALL THE SERIVICE RECORDS ON THE STICKING DOOR ISSUSE AND THEY WHERE UNABLE TO RESOLVE IT. DEALER'S FIX FOR STICKING SLIDING DOOR WAS TO LUBE THE SLIDING DOOR EVERY WINTER INSTEAD OF FINDING A SOLUTION. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE 2002 AND NOW I JUST LUBE THE DOOR'S MY SELF INSTEAD OF WASTING MY TIME AT DEALER'S SERVICE CENTER. *TR
