    I have a 2000 honda odyssey that i bought with 119k miles on it. The previous owner had it serviced by honda. The transmission was replaced at around 60k and now at 170k miles the transmission needs to be replaced again. I have had the transmission serviced every 25k, one at 120k and another at 145k. Honda should replace the transmission for free, two failed transmissions in 170k miles in unacceptable! *tr

After the first one failed at 62k miles, the dealer assured me that honda had fixed the issues and that the replacement would not have the same problem. Woo hoo for honda!

We were on a rural highway traveled about 55 mph, when the slippage started and quickly lost forward gear and the ability to maintain highway speed. The road is hilly and another vehicle could have rear-ended us at that point. The current transmission has…

    1. No significant events leading up to failure. Check engine light turned on. We are easy careful drivers. However, we found out when dealership service places "flush" the transmission fluid on cars built by honda during this time, it flushes metal parts down to the transmission causing the transmission to fail and needing full replacement. 2. Transmission on 2000 honda odyssey needs to be replaced. Had we ignored…
