POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH A CURRENT ODOMETER READING OF 92000 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING SHIFTING PROBLEMS IN THIRD GEAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN CRUISING SPEEDS AND REDUCED SPEED THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP FROM 5TH GEAR TO SECOND GEAR, WHICH CAUSED THE RPMS TO BE TOO HIGH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT VERY SLUGGISHLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR. THE RPM'S WOULD INCREASE SO THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE GEARS TO SHIFT. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED OFTEN, AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY NEEDED THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SLIPPING FROM 2ND TO 3RD AROUND 40 - 55 MPH AND ENGINE WOULD REV, ALSO WHIPLASHING STRENGTH SLAMMING GEARS ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY. TAKEN TO CARMAX FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY SERVICE AND WASN'T HONORED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT FIND RELATED RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING PROPERLY. MAINTENANCE RECORD SHOWS TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS BEEN CHANGED BEFORE PURCHASING. ALSO TAKEN TO AAMCO FOR SECOND OPINION AND THEY FOUND BURNT FLUID SUGGESTING A PROBLEM CURRENTLY STILL TROUBLESHOOTING DO TO EXTENDED WARRANTY WANTING HARD EVIDENCE. THERE ARE NO TRANSMISSION CODES SHOWING UP ON THE COMPUTER OR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. FLUIDS HAVE BEEN CHANGED BY AAMCO AND SLAMMING GOT WORSE. I HAVE PRINTED OUT OVER 55 PAGES IN COMPLAINTS AND HOPING THIS WOULD BE EVIDENCE ENOUGH TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT BEFORE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP 13,000 MILES FROM NOW. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS AT 40242 MILES. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, AND WE WERE FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT TOOK SEVERAL WEEKS OF NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN HONDA AND THE WARRANTY COMPANY TO DO AN 80-20 SPLIT. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS SIMILAR, WITH FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AT 82,000 MILES. HONDA WILL AGREE TO PAY PARTS ONLY, BUT WILL NOT BUY THEM LOCALLY, AND WANTS TO SHIP THEM OVERSEAS AT OUR EXPENSE. WE LIVE IN GERMANY WITH THE AIR FORCE, SHIPPING WILL BE OVER $1000 AND LABOR WILL BE OVER $1000 AT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE ON THE 2ND TRANSMISSION IN MAY 04. SHAME ON HONDA FOR ALLOWING THIS PROBLEM TO CONTINUE. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 83888 MILES. THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON DECEMBER 9, 2006. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ABOUT A WEEK LATER. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC WHICH REVEALED AN ERROR :"CODE 103 POOL CODE STORED P1750-CLUTCH PRESSURE FAILURE." THE DEALER RECOMMEND INSTALLING A CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID. THE DEALER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT VALLEY HIGH HONDA OF VICTORVILLE CA, QUOTED $500.00 TO REPLACE THE PART AND IF IT DID NOT WORK, THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE MAY NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $4000.00. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE WITHOUT REPAIRING IT. THE CONTACT CALLED CORPORATE HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 AND LEFT A MESSAGE. ON DECEMBER 12, 2006 THE CONTACT RECEIVED A CALL FROM CORPORATE HONDA AND WAS INFORMED OF A 2005 RECALL ON 2002 AND 2003 TRANSMISSIONS OF THESE VEHICLES, CAMPAIGN ID 04V176000. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A 100000 MILE WARRANTY, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO VALLEY HIGH HONDA OF VICTORVILLE CA, AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON THEY COULD NOT WORK ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED CORPORATE HONDA OFFICE AT 1-800-999-1009 AND SPOKE TO MICHAEL BODAN CASE NUMBER N012007-01-1601830, WHO CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. THEN TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT WANTS TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA AND THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF THEIR RESPONSE, AS WELL AS, THE UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE BY THE DEALER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN THE FIRST TIME. THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OR A WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEGE WAS 83798 MILES.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2002 HONDA ODYSSEY IS 5 YRS OLD WITH 50K MILES. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, UPON A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN ACCELERATING, THE RPM WOULD INCREASE A LOT BUT THE SPEED REMAINS ABOUT 10-20 MPH UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. DURING 1 EVENT ON JAN. 18,2007, THE PROBLEM WAS SO SEVERE THAT IT LASTED FOR AWHILE AND FEARING FOR OUR SAFETY, WE PULLED OVER THE CAR TO THE CURB AND STOPPED THE CAR FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE PROCEEDING AGAIN. THE FEAR WAS NOT ONLY OF STALLING BUT IF THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY SHIFTS, THE MINIVAN WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND REAR END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO A HONDA DEALER ON JAN. 19 AND STILL AWAIT AN ANSWER ON WHETHER HONDA WOULD COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THE HONDA SERVICE PERSONNEL SAID THAT IT MAY NOT BE COVERED AT ALL WHICH IS VERY STRANGE GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE 2002 YEAR MODEL AND THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT HONDA LOST REGARDING THE '99-'01 MODELS. *NM
