POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 02 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR OCCASIONALLY. WHEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CAN'T GET IT TO REPLICATE IT'S POOR SHIFTING PERFORMANCE. I HOPE THAT A RECALL IS MANDATED BEFORE ANYONE IS REAR ENDED AND KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED DO TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THIS TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY BEGAN TO SLIP AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES. TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICING AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT TELL WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND SENT US BACK OUT ON THE ROAD AFTER THEY TOLD US THE WARRANTY ON THE DRIVE TRAIN HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 100,000 MILES. WENT BACK IN AT 60,000 MILES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, ENGINE REVVING BETWEEN GEARS, LOSING POWER ETC. TOLD US A VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ALSO TOLD US THE WARRANTY HAD NOT BEEN EXTENDED ON THE 2002 BUT ONLY ON THE 1999-2001'S. AT 70,000 MILES THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE AND ENGINE LIGHT AND TCS LIGHT STARTED POPPING ON. TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. AFTER CALLING HONDA USA THEY AGREED TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY PARTS IF WE PAID $1000+ FOR LABOR. I FOUND OUT LATER THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2002 MODEL AND THAT THE NHTSA HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON THE 2002 TRANSMISSION. YET HONDA DID NOT INFORM ME OF THIS THE TWO TIMES I CAME IN AND TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. BOTH TIMES THEY SENT ME AND MY FAMILY BACK OUT ON THE ROAD IN A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *TR

EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
MY A/C WENT OUT IN MY 2002 ODYSSEY. I AM BEING TOLD A ROCK OR OTHER DEBRIS HIT THE CONDENSER, THE FREON LEAKED OUT, AND THEN THE COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP. THE WHOLE SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $2000. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS DUE TO THE GRILL THAT PROTECTS THE CONDENSER NOT DOING THE JOB. I SEE THIS AS A CLEAR DESIGN FLAW. ESPECIALLY WHEN MY RESEARCH REVEALED AN AFTERMARKET GRILL (NOT DESIGNED BY HONDA) HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND IS BEING SOLD. HONDA NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY FREQUENTLY GETS STUCK IN 2ND GEAR WHILE CHANGING TO 3RD GEAR, OCCASIONALLY SHIFTS INTO A NEUTRAL STATE, AND RANDOMLY SHIFTS BACK INTO 2ND GEAR. TWO DEALERS AND AMERICAN HONDA HAVE ALL REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WHICH WAS IDENTIFIED AS A RECALLED MECHANICAL FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY'S. THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE APPROXIMATELY $5K TO REPAIR IT WITH A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND BOTH DEALERS AND AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS APPARENT DEFECT. THEY CLAIM THAT THE "OIL JET KIT" WAS TO PREVENT THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM BEFORE IT HAPPEN, BUT AS A RESULT THAT MEASURE OF PREVENTABLE MAINTENANCE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AT NO CHARGE. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE POWER SLIDING DOOR ON OUR VAN FAILED CAUSING THE DOOR TO WHIP OPEN WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE SEATS NEXT TO THE SUDDENLY OPEN DOOR (OUR DOG WAS ALSO IN THE VEHICLE AND COULD HAVE STEPPED OUT ONTO THE ROAD AT 65MPG)! WE HAD ZERO WARNING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM OR THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. PULLING INTO A SERVICE STATION THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM NOR COULD HONDA OR ITS DEALERS VIA PHONE. WE WERE FORCED TO DRIVE HOME WITH THE DOOR TAPED FROM THE OUTSIDE AND TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS SO THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN ON THE HIGHWAY ONCE AGAIN. WHAT REALLY MAKES THE SITUATION DIFFICULT IS FINDING OUT VIA THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH FIXES POSTED ON NUMEROUS PAGES. WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL WHEN SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS COULD HAPPEN AND IS THIS COMMON IS WHY I AM WRITING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE 35 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP!!! THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO TAKE THE VAN ON THE HIGHWAY. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DAY OR MONTH WE PURCHASED THE VAN BUT WE DID PURCHASE THE VEHICLE NEW. THE INTERNET FIX DID NOT CURE THE PROBLEM BUT WE DID TRY AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WORKED FOR OTHERS. WE DID NOT USE AAA TO TOW THE VEHICLE SINCE WE WERE AT A SERVICE STATION AND THEY CALLED AROUND FOR US TO TRY AND GET A SOLUTION. A MINOR PROBLEM IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT WHEN A DOOR SUDDENLY OPENS AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR AT THE VERY LEAST AN INVESTIGATION. PLEASE RESPOND SO WE KNOW SOMETHING IS BEING DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE AND BEFORE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. IF OUR DOG FELL OUT ONTO A BUSY INTERSTATE I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE THE CHAOS THAT WOULD ENSUE MUCH LESS THE HEARTACHE OF THE CHILDREN (THANK GOD FOR CHILDSEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!) *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHEN APPYLING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CONTACT HEARD AND FELT A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THE DEALER CHANGED THE BRAKE SHOES, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY TWO ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAINS AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. ON TWO OCCASIONS, THE SLIDING DOOR WOULD SPONTANEOUSLY OPEN, ALLOWING HER CHILDREN TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY GREASED THE ROLLERS ON THE SLIDING DOOR, WHICH REMEDIED THE FAILURE. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING 35 MPH. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE COTNACT TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). BECAUSE THERE WAS NO DISCOLORATION IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL IT SHOWED SIGNS OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER WHEN SHE BEGAN EXPERIENCING FAILURES SHIFTING GEARS, AND THEY ADVISED HER THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER THE FREE REMDEY OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND CURRENT MILEAEGE WAS 80,000. *UPDATED 10/20/08 *BF UPDATED 10/21/08. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER
THE 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY FAILED AT 77,000 MILES (SPECIFIC FAILURE IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER). SYMPTOM WAS GEAR SLIPPAGE AT SLOW SPEED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE SUBJECT OF AN 15 APR 2004 SAFETY RECALL FOR SECOND GEAR INSPECTION (HONDA TSB 04-021 DATED 29 OCT 2004); DEALERSHIP ED NAPLETON HONDA OF ST PETERS, MO CLAIMS TO HAVE PERFORMED WORK IN OCT 2004, THOUGH NOTHING WAS REPLACED. I OPENED A CASE WITH HONDA, N012008-03-1900809. MY VEHICLE WAS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER THE CLASS ACTION WARRANTY EXTENSION. NUMEROUS HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS, MODEL YEARS 1998-2004, REPORT PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AS IS MY CASE. I'M REQUESTING THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED BY NHTSA TO ENCOURAGE HONDA TO TAKE REMEDIAL ACTION ON BEHALF OF ODYSSEY OWNERS AFFECTED. *TR

2002 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN - BACK SLIDING DOORS STICK... CAN'T OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE BACK SLIDING DOORS HAVE ALWAYS FELT LIKE SOMETHING IS IN THE GROOVE, NEVER SMOOTH. AT TIMES, THEY ARE STUCK CLOSED OR STUCK OPEN. MY KIDS OFTEN HAVE HAD TO CLIMB TO THE FRONT OR THE REAR DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE VAN. IN READING ABOUT SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED BY HONDA SO THAT NO CHILD IS EVER STUCK IN THE CAR TRYING TO GET OUT. PANIC STRICKEN CHILDREN OR PARENTS MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO FLEE FROM DANGER SHOULD SOMETHING OCCUR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WITH ONLY 1500 CHARACTERS, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM TO COMPLETE THE DETAILS. I BOUGHT THE HONDA ODYSSEY USED, WITH 76,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT FOR 2 YEARS/3 MONTHS. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT 2ND TO 3RD GEAR SLIPPAGE THAT HAPPENED ONCE EVERY 2 MONTHS. I WAS TOLD BY A HONDA DEALER TO WATCH IT OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, NOT THE ONE I USUALLY GO TO. I THEN BROUGHT IT IN RECENTLY AND EXPLAINED THE SLIPPING WAS OCCURRING ONCE A WEEK, THE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 132,000 MILES. HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, ESPECIALLY WHEN 1 DAY BEFORE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE WAS P0730 (INCORRECT GEAR RATIO). I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE 2ND TO 3RD GEAR SLIPS AND REV'S THE ENGINE, WITHOUT ENGAGING FOR UP TO 30 SECONDS NOW, AND BASED ON OVER 10 WEBSITES WITH MANY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE. I CANNOT ADD ALL THE CONTENT FROM THESE WEBSITES, BUT HONDA HAS A SECRET WARRANTY (AS DO MANY MANUFACTURERS) ON THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN OFFERED WARRANTY PRICING OF $2700/2 = $1300 FOR THE TRANSMISSION, AND TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE LABOR OF $750, TOTALING $2154, BY THE REGIONAL REP. UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE DOCUMENTED PROOF, EVEN WITH THIS MILEAGE THAT OTHERS HAVE RECEIVED THIS SECRET WARRANTY TRANSMISSION FOR FREE, INCLUDING LABOR. I CAN SUBMIT THE LINKS AND DETAILS OF THESE CASES AT HONDA'S/BBB'S REQUEST. RESOLUTION SOUGHT: I WANT AMERICAN HONDA TO BACK THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I WANT THEM TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR FREE (PARTS AND LABOR), AND PROVIDE A 100K WARRANTY WITH IT. 36,000 IS POOR, SINCE MOST OTHER COMPANIES OFFER 100K WARRANTY. IF I BUY A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FROM OTHER TRANSMISSION OR GOODYEAR, ETC. STORES, THEY GIVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY OR 100K. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING ON THE CAR. I HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INSPECTED IT AND SAID I HAD TO PAY 1,400.00 . I TOLD THEM I COULD NOT AFFORD IT AT THAT TIME AND I PICKED UP MY CAR. I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED THEM AND ASKED TO DO THE SERVICE ALTHOUGH I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A WARRANTY ITEM. THEY RESCINDED THEIR OFFER TO REPAIR THE CAR FOR 1400.00. I FEEL IT SHOULD NOT BE ANY COST TO ME THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 100,000 MILES. *TR

YESTERDAY (2/1/08), ODOMETERS READ APPROXIMATELY 41,000. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR REFUSES TO LATCH CLOSE. AFTER OPEN AND CLOSING SEVERAL TIMES, FINALLY A HARD PUSH AFTER THE LAST CLOSE, THE DOOR LATCHES CLOSE. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES THE WHOLE DAY. TODAY, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH TWO SMALL CHILD'S. THE DOOR WON'T LATCH & CAR WON'T LOCK A CALL TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, GOT THE ANSWER THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE 2002 ODYSSEY REGARDING THE SLIDING DOOR. WHEN ASK IF 2008 MODEL HAS ALL THE BUGS FIXED, ANSWER WAS "WHAT CAN AMERICAN HONDA DO FOR YOU". YOU SHOULD BRING THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR CHECK UP. I ANSWER THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO, THANKS. *TR
