POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2004 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. WENT TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION, WITH LESS THAN 70K MILES ON IT (AND DETERMINED BY TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AT 43K TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE) WAS DEAD-ON-ARRIVAL. I RELIED ON THAT VAN FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS AND, BASED ON WHAT I'VE SEEN WITH OTHERS, SO HAVE INNUMERABLE OTHERS. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO MY FAMILY HAD THEY BEEN STRANDED OR HAD THE TRANSMISSION GONE OUT ON THE INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA ODYSSEY EX 2004 IN THE LEFT MOST LANE WITH MY WIFE AND 3 KIDS (AGES 7, 10, 12) ON A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE TOOK A JERK (LIKE A HICCUP) AND ALL THE SYSTEMS SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY. EVEN THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY FROZEN SINCE THERE WAS NO POWER. I HARDLY MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WHILE HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC WAS PASSING. IT WAS A HORRIBLE FEELING. MY FAMILY WAS COMPLETELY TERRIFIED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND A "SHORT CIRCUIT" IN THE IGNITION WIRING. ALSO, MY "TRANSMISSION" WAS NOT WORKING. SHORT CIRCUIT WAS REPAIRED ($250) BUT TRANSMISSION QUOTE IS OVER $4000 WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A HONDA ODYSSEY EX ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE BACK DOORS BEGAN OPENING ON THEIR OWN AS I WAS DRIVING AND WOULDN'T CLOSE. THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING OIL. I PAID TO GET A DIAGNOSTICS FROM THE HONDA DEALER SHIP WHICH COST ME 235.00. THEY SAID I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT IT WITH 64KM AND NOW IT HAS 70KM. I'VE PAID 5,500 SO FAR AND I STILL OWE 10,000. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS DRIVING AND MY VAN STARTED KIND OF JERKING AND THEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MY TCS (TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM) LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS MERGING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN PEAK RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND MY VAN STOPPED ON A CURVE. MY CHILD AND I WERE ALMOST KILLED BY A SEMI THAT JUST ABOUT REAR-ENDED US BUT INSTEAD DROVE INTO ANOTHER LANE, ABOUT HITTING ANOTHER CAR. THE VAN WAS RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT DRIVE OR GO IN REVERSE. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD BE $4,000 TO REPAIR. I SAW ON-LINE THAT MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION. I AM CURRENTLY GETTING A SECOND OPINION. BOTH THE DEALER AND AMERICAN HONDA TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSIONS IN THE YEAR MY VAN WAS MADE, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE IS TRUE. BOTH REFUSED TO HELP ME AND DID NOT TELL ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECALLS REGARDING HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSIONS AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS JUST LIKE MINE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY A/T(TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON). WE HAD THE A/T CHECKED AT THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE FLUID WAS FINE. THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE HAS A RECALL 04V176000 AFFECTING SOME 1,099,796 UNITS. OUR UNIT HAS A VIN JUST OUTSIDE OF THE RECALLED VIN NUMBERS. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE OTHER 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY VANS. THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO NEED TO BE REPLACED ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
