I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NORMAL AND THE NEXT MOMENT MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS AS NORMAL AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV WITHOUT PROPELLING MY VEHICLE ANY FARTHER. I SLOWED DOWN AND THEN COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I EXPERIMENTED ONCE I WAS SAFELY OFF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RE ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. IT LET ME GO FOR ANOTHER FEW MILES THEN I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED TO DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANICS SHOP AND ON THE WAY IT STOPPED AND WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. I WAS ONLY ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF FROM MY HOME. FITTINGLY ENOUGH I HAD TO PARK IT IN THE PARKING LOT OF A BUSINESS. THAT BUSINESS WAS A FUNERAL HOME. ALL THIS TOOK PLACE ON A CITY STREET WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING, I WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY A CO-WORKER WHO WAS GOING TO GIVE ME A RIDE AFTER I DROPPED IT OFF. TO BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, I WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE ERUPTED REVVING AND AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT SLOWED OBVIOUSLY BUT THE SECOND I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL AGAIN IT WAS REV WITH NO MOTION. NOW I HAVE A VAN WITH A NEW TIMING BELT, NEW REAR BRAKE LIGHT (I PUT IN MYSELF) AND NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES AND WHEELS. WHAT A SHAME THE PUBLIC WASN'T PROTECTED FROM THIS BETTER. SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL ON ALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND BE MADE RIGHT. MY MECHANIC CANT EVEN FIND ONE FOR LESS THAN $1500 WHICH IS INSANE. HE HAD A QUOTE FOR $2400 AND I ONLY PAID $3700 FOR THE VAN IN JUNE OF 2014. THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION WITH OUT DOUBT.

THE AIRBAG BLASTED OUT TO THE RIGHT OF THE STEERING WHEEL THUS HITTING MY RIGHT ARM. MY RIGHT ARM WAS BROKEN AND REQUIRED SURGERY TO REPAIR. 2 TITANIUM PLATES AND 15 SCREWS. BLACK CLOUD OF WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN A PROPELLANT WAS PUMPED INTO MY FACE AND UPPER BODY. THE SKIN ON MY RIGHT HAND PEELED 4 TIMES.

MY CAR, 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY, WITH 110,000 MILES HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS FOR THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS), ENGINE, AND GEAR (DRIVE SIGN) WERE ALL FLASHING. THE CAR'S GEARS SEEM TO BE SLIPPING WHEN THE CAR IS COLD OR ON IDLE TOO MUCH. I HAD A NON-HONDA MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REPAIR COST OF $2400. IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT THAT HONDA DOES NOT TAKE LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE WE OWNED THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING AND THE VEHICLE AGAIN ISN'T DRIVABLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS Y/M/M WITH MANY COMPLAINTS. NHTSA AND HONDA NEED TO DO A RECALL. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE HAD ANY CARS AROUND ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT BY HONDA. WE'RE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS IS NHTSA BUT NO MAJOR ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE IGNITION KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITH THE GEAR SELECTOR STILL IN DRIVE. MY TEENAGE DRIVERS HAVE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS LEFT THE VAN IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE VAN STILL IN DRIVE, IGNITION OFF. LUCKILY, OUR HOME'S DRIVEWAY IS FLAT AND WE HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE OF THE VAN ROLLING AWAY - YET!

SLIDING DOOR FAILURE. BOTH SLIDING DOORS FAILED ON JAN 17, 2011. THE DOORS WERE STUCK HALFWAY OPEN. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. WAS REPAIRED FOR THE PRICE OF $800. LUCKILY THE VAN WAS NO MOVING THAT THE TIME, BUT WE DID HAVE TO DRIVE IT TO THE MECHANIC WITH THE DOORS OPEN.

MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS HAD 3 FRONT POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN MOTION WHEN THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPS INTO THE DOOR FRAME. IT IS SUDDEN, LOUD, AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS PROBLEM AS DOCUMENTED ON SEVERAL HONDA FORUMS AND GOOGLE SEARCHES. HONDA DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND ALLOWS THE PROBLEM TO GO UNABATED. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN IS AN INVESTIGATION GOING TO BE INITIATED?

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VAN ON A HWY THE RPMS WENT UP AND THE VAN WOULD NOT GO AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS TOTALLY GONE. I GOT PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO CALL A WRECKER SERVICE TO COME AND PICK US UP. THE VAN HAS BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I GOT IN IT AND IT WILL GO IN A LOWER GEAR BUT ONLY UNTIL THE VAN WARMS UP THEN IT WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT COST ME $200. TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME AND I WAS TOLD BY A TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT IT WOULD COST ME ANYWHERE FROM $2500 TO $4500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THAT IS MORE THAN THE VAN IS APPARENTLY WORTH. I HAVE SPENT MY CHRISTMAS MONEY ON JUST THE TOWING. I NEED HELP IN GETTING IT FIXED I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN. I DID NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE VAN WITH ME BUT IT WAS ME AND MY EX MOTHER IN LAW AND IT WAS NIGHT AND A MOUNTAINOUS HWY. IF I HAD NOT GOTTEN MY VAN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT AS THERE ARE A LOT OF CARS AND BIG RIG TRUCKS THAT DRIVE ON THAT ROAD.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEGUN SLIPPING. THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL EVEN THOUGH HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER SEVERAL TIMES TO LET TRANSMISSION COOL OFF BEFORE CONTINUING TO MY DESTINATION. TOOK IT BACK TO DW AUTO WHERE I PURCHASED SAID VEHICLE. THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT FOR TRADE IN BECAUSE HONDA ODYSSEY HAS BAD TRANSMISSIONS.
