THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPS BETWEEN GEAR 2 AND 3, AND IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ACCORDING TO ONLINE FORUM SITES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL COST OVER $4,000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THE INDEPENDENT AUTO SHOPS CHARGES AROUND 2,500 DOLLARS TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HONDA TAKE UP THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND TAKE CARE OF ITS CUSTOMERS. *TR

2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, ONLY TO BE TOLD HE WOULD HAD TO PAY $900 TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROL UNIT, AS THE RECALL ITEM WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE HORN DID NOT WORK.

WHEN WE ARE GOING UPHILL FROM FULL STOPPED IT SEEMS THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT PICKING UP AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SLIPPAGE OF THE GEAR. THEN THE YELLOW CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS UP AND WHEN WE GOT HOME I GRABBED MY CODE READER AND SAYS P0730 INCORRECT GEAR RATIO AND P0505 IDLE. THERE IS NO CRASH BUT ALMOST BECAUSE THE CAR BEHIND US ARE REALLY FAST GOING UPHILL AND BECAUSE IM NOT PRESSING THE BRAKE SO MOST LIKELY HE DIDN'T SEE THAT WERE ARE NOT MOVING WITH THE CURRENT FLOW OF TRAFFIC PLUS IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT AT AROUND 11:05 PM AFTER I DROPPED OFF MY WIFE TO WORK. MY FOOT IS IN THE GAS PEDAL WHEN I NOTICED WE ARE NOT ACCELERATING NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. ALL YOU CAN HEAR IS SLIPPAGE OF GEAR BUT IDLE IS GOING UP WITHOUT POWER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR CAME OPEN ABOUT 10 INCHES WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE POWER DOOR QUIT LATCHING AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WAS ON RANDOMLY. FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP, WE HAD TO KEEP PRESSING THE BUTTON TO SHUT THE DOOR EVERY TIME IT CAME OPEN. WE ALSO HAD TO MOVE THE KIDS AROUND SO THAT NO ONE WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT CLOSEST TO THE DOOR. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR TWO YEARS AGO. VERY EXPENSIVE FIX, NOT TO MENTION, YOUNG CHILDREN RIDING IN THE VAN AND HAVING THE DOOR RANDOMLY POP OPEN IS DANGEROUS AND A LIABILITY ISSUE. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS BEEN A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ODYSSEY. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS COULD BE VERY POOR PR FOR HONDA IF SOMEONE'S DOOR COMES OPEN AND A CHILD FALLS OUT. *TR

MY HONDA ODYSSEY STARTED SHOWING SYMPTOMS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON 14-JULY. GEARS SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND AND 2ND AND 3RD WAS NOTICEABLE, IT WOULD NOT PICK SPEED WHILE ENTERING FREEWAY. ALSO, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP, TCS STARTS BLINKING WHEN THIS GEARS SHIFT HAPPENING, ALSO D SIGN BLINKS. I WENT TO REDWOOD CITY, CA HONDA DEALER, WHERE I SERVICE MY CAR ALL THE TIME. HTTP://WWW.HONDA-RC.COM/ THEY TOLD ME THEY DON'T DO TRANSMISSION AND SUGGESTED I WORK WITH OTHER COMPANIES LIKE AAMCO. I READ WWW.ODYSSEYTRANSMISSION.COM AND UNDERSTAND THIS IS KNOWN PROBLEM BUT HONDA IS NOT FORTHCOMING AND HELPING OWNERS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT SMOOTHLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD AND 3RD TO 4TH. ENGINE RPM INCREASES SUDDENLY BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WITH A LOSS OF ACCELERATION. SHIFT IS NO LONGER SMOOTH, WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS IT OCCURS WITH A "BANG". AT 28000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WAS "RETROFITTED" WITH THE OIL JET INSTALLED IN THE ATF FILL PORT DURING THE RECALL ON 7/3/2004. ATF HAS BEEN ROUTINELY REPLACED AT TWICE THE RECOMMENDED FREQUENCY (MILEAGE: 28000, 65589, 93831, 120975) WITH ONLY GENUINE HONDA Z-1 AT FLUID. ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC IS NOW PERFORMED WITH MUCH MORE UNCERTAINTY AND RISK. *TR

2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND SEEKS REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS. *SMD ON AUGUST 16, 2004, THE DEALER INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION, AS PER THE RECALL NOTICE, BUT DID NOT REPAIR/REPLACE ANYTHING. ON APRL 23, 2007, THE SHIFTING PROBLEMS WERE DUE TO AN INTERNAL PROBLEM; THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE SHIFTING AND SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED. OVER THE COURSE OF TWO YEARS, THE FLUID WAS REPLACED, AND THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE SLIPPING PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINALLY REPLACED ON NOVEMBER 10, 2009, AT A COST OF $3632.82.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THE RECALL PROCESS. DEALER/HONDA SAY NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MENTIONED THE RECALL AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT SEEMS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AND THE RECALL WAS NOT EXTENSIVE ENOUGH. HONDA SHOULD HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION TO BEGIN WITH. APPROXIMATE REPAIR COST IS $4200. *TR

I CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP (HONDA MOTORWERKS, LACROSSE, WI) WITH CONCERNS ABOUT ERRATIC SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND ALSO A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. I WAS TOLD TO BRING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD INSTALL AN OIL JET KIT THAT WOULD TAKE LESS THAN AN HOUR. THEY MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT A MANDATORY INSPECTION FOR HEAT DISCOLORATION WHICH COULD LEAD TO THEM INSTALLING A NEW TRANSMISSION. I CANCELLED APPT WHEN I LEARNED INSTALLING THE JET KIT WOULD "CLOSE THE RECALL" ON MY VEHICLE. I HESITATED CALLING HONDA MOTORWERKS TO BEGIN WITH AFTER OWNING AN 80'S MODEL HONDA CIVIC THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE GAS FILLER PIPE THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF. I ORDERED THE PIPE, PAID THEM AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF AND THE WHOLE TIME THEY KNEW IT WAS UNDER RECALL BUT SAID NOTHING TO ME WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE PART UP. NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE ON ME AGAIN. THIS DEALERSHIP PROVED THEY CAN NOT BE TRUSTED AND BY THE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NO MATTER WHAT HONDA DEALERSHIP YOU TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO, YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH A HUGE REPAIR BILL. MINE HAS YET TO BE FIXED AND VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 125000 MILES ON IT AND MY TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. A VEHICLES TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF A VEHICLE AND MY VAN HAS A LOT MORE LIFE LEFT IN IT EXCEPT FOR THE TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD FIX. I LOVE MY HONDA VAN I JUST WANT IT FIXED I CANNOT AFFORD 4800.00 DOLLAR TRANSMISSION REPAIR ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A HONDA PROBLEM. PLEASE HONDA FIX THESE TRANSMISSIONS SO I CAN KEEP LOVING MY VAN!!! *TR

I BROUGHT MY ODYSSEY IN TO HONDA FOR AN OIL CHANGE, ON THE WAY OVER THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR LIGHT (AMBER) CAME ON. I ASKED THE HONDA SHOP TO LOOK INTO THE INDICATOR LIGHT ISSUE. UPON RETURNING TO PICK UP THE ODYSSEY, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THE CODE WAS A P0740, AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP A BIT CONFUSED, SINCE THE VEHICLE DIDN'T DISPLAY ANY SHIFTING ISSUES. ON THE WAY HOME (ABOUT 45 MILES), THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO POP OUT OF GEAR (WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, START IT BACK UP, AND THEN CONTINUE). NOW THIS ISSUE HAPPENS CONSTANTLY, THE CAR FAILS INSPECTIONS BECAUSE OF IT, AND NOW I AM FACED WITH A $3000 TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. ACCORDING TO HONDA'S WEBSITE, THE TRANSMISSION CAMPAIGN WAS FIXED BACK IN 2004. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW HONDA HANDLED THE MATTER. *TR
