I took it back to the dealer and the service person, dale, told me it could be numerous things (e-val, transmission, computer or shift solenoids). Wow! Did someone say transmission? But he told me that in order for them to be completely sure, i would have to leave…

At 5 years and 64,000k our 1999 honda odyssey has had to have its transmission remanufactured. It seems a bit early to be having transmission issues given the amount of mileage it has. Our concern is that the extended warranty only goes to 7 years and 100,000k. We kept our last honda for 14 years and 160,000k. Do we have any recourse if we have transmission problems after 7 years? *jb

Well, the check engine light did come back on less than one month later. This is the third time in three months. On 01/07/04, they checked the car again and said that it was the converter and that while they were in there i should also replace the o2 sensor. I agreed to it and my estimate (for parts) was now $742.83. After ten days, i called the dealer to see if the parts were in and they were, but no one bothered…

Had transmission problem on my 99 honda odyssey. Replaced it at 60000 miles at aamco transmission. Honda denied my claim because i did not bring it to the dealer. Now at 90000 miles, the engine light came on again and the shifting feels rough. This is a design problem that honda tries to ignore. This transmission problem can cause an accident if the second gear does not engage while we are on the freeway. *nlm
