Moving from stop at low speed the transmission frequently hesitates before shifting, followed by a loud thump when it does shift. At higher speeds, once in motion, there is rough shifting from 3rd to 4th gear also. Judged by me to be unsafe if driven by other family members, but ok with caution if driven carefully by me since i have been principal driver for 13 years. Vehicle was inspected 11/13/12 by honda…

I have bought my used odyssey in january 2012 from a dealer and the transmission failed at 107,000 miles. I know there was a recall in 2004 that had the warranty up to 100,000 miles and an approved class lawsuit in 2006 that extended the warranty up to 109,000 miles. Therefore, my van is still under the warranty since its at 107,000. I strongly request that this issue is resolved as soon as possible and that honda…

I am having transmission problems, when shifting from 1st gear to second it slips and suddenly goes into gear, also when in 4th gear it tends to slip, rev up then jumps back into gear. I think its very dangerous and may cause an accident. I read the fourms on problems with the trans on the odyssey and noticed there is too many complants on the same problem. I hope you can look into this issue and help resolve this…

Start vehicle and engine light comes on, tcs (traction control system) light goes on and car vibrates. This appears to be a well documented problem with honda transmissions. In fact, there's a dedicated website at www.odysseytransmission.com for people who've experienced similar problems or issues. I called honda america this morning and told there was nothing they could do even though am the original owner and this…

Transmission failure after only 60,000 miles. The transmission slips into neutral when upshifting between gears and then suddenly engages with a dangerous surge forward. I am the original owner of the vehicle and there were no previous problems with the transmission. The condition persisted for two days and required a complete transmission overhaul with a new torque converter. Research shows that transmission…

This vehicle was purchased second hand in 2012 and immediately needed to have its automatic transmission replaced at a cost of $3,000. Even now there is occasional slipage of the new transmission, which indicates to me it may not be long for this world. It's painfully obvious honda built and installed sup par transmissions for many years, despite mountains of complaints from consumers. They should be taken to task…

When driving the vehicle for the first time, the transmission stalled when trying to shift up from first gear, then lurched forward violently. On doing some online research it appears that honda equipped the odyssey with substandard automatic transmissions, with a very high rate of failure. It's a safety problem as there's either not enough acceleration power when needed...or too much when it does finally engage.…

I am a licensed used vehicle salesperson. I bought this vehicle at a dealer auction feb. 2012. Upon purchase that day, the transmission did not fail with its 11 mph shift until it got warm. We thought it was only a filter as other vehicles have had. When we got it home, we called honda and they said this particular transmission has no way to change fluid or filter. I called honda about a recall, they said no…

In may 2005 the transmission on this 2000 odyssey failed and was replaced by our local dealer at no charge under the directions of service bulletin 02-062. The mileage at the time was almost 72,000 miles. We had heard that there had been transmission problems and we thought that the 2005 replacement would have solved the problem. Now, after another 68,000 miles, the replacement transmission has failed. This…

In a school filed trip with 5 kids in the van, after the driver came off an i-75 exit, for every stop at traffic lights, the driver experienced a strong jerking from the transmission whenever accelerating from a stop to 40 miles/hr. Everyone got scared and does not know how the transmission can suddenly behave like that.

I noticed the first shifting problem when i stopped at stop sign. Now the transmission is sleeping all the time. It is very dangerous to drive this van now as the transmission can go any time and may result in major accident. This is a major safety issue. The car does not move even if you try to accelerate.
