1. Bad automatic transmission causing van to speed forward by itself.van constitute danger to us and other road users. 2. In the nhtsa record, there are no open recall for this vehicle whereas honda (manufacturer) has recall for automatic transmission open for this vehicle.

My 2000 honda odyssey was slamming into 2nd till it started slipping. I put in a used solenoid....but it still slips in 2nd and another symptom is tcs light comes on after 5 min or so driving.

Transmissions on the odyssey have a habit of seizing up. I'm on my 3rd tranny for my 2000 oddysey. I replaced it at 112,000 miles and 150,000 miles at $3,000 a pop. It's a scandal and customers should be paid damages for the design flaws that are behind these failures. *js

All the motor mounts and transmission mounts need to be replaced. I've never heard of this being an issue in any other vehicle, but after doing a quick google search i discovered it is common in odysseys. We should be able to drive our vehicles without being concerned for the stability of our engine and tranny. This just shouldn't happen. *tr

I was driving at 60 miles per hour on the freeway when the transmission spontaneously failed. I was unable to accelerate after that point, but was fortunately able to coast off the freeway. Had this happened 2 minutes earlier, i would have been stuck in a acute turn in the freeway without a good shoulder to pull of on, leaving me stopped in the middle of the freeway. *tr

My honda odyssey (year 2000) stopped at a traffic light, then when green light was on, it roared big time at very high rpm, and moved very little. Lots of cars behind me. After about a minute, my car suddenly moved, and moved as normal as usual. Since then, especially when it is cold, my cars moves very teeny-tiny bit after a stop, and then suddenly pull forward. The situation is even worse if my car stops at bottom…
