    2000 honda ody trans has failed for 3rd time. Original went bad at 75k. Complained about it 1st at 34k. Dealer said found no probs. Now at 75k we are on 3rd rebuilt trans to be put in next week. 1st 2 rebuilt ones didn't last 10 miles before same loud clunk in reverse started again. Honda needs to be forced to replace this problem with new trans, not rebuilt one, and 3/36 warranty. I didn't pay top dollar for a car…

    I am familiar with a large number of complaints about this particular vehicle and would like the nhtsa to demand a recall of these vehicles. The dealers know about this problem, but are misleading consumers by denying any knowledge of such issues.this is a blatant misrepresentation of the truth, and the manufacturer along with the dealers are deceiving owners about the trans. Problems. No safety defect listed. *ak

    Transmission slips into neutral when in the drive position while driving the vehicle. Dealership is evaluating the problem but won't confirm yet (4 days now). I have become aware thru other odyssey owners that this is not an isolated problem with many transmissions going quickly or eventually (1999-2001 engine models). This should be recalled and replaced at no charge for the life of the vehicle by the auto maker.…
