I was driving down the road normal and the next moment my foot was on the gas as normal and the engine began to rev without propelling my vehicle any farther. I slowed down and then coasted to the side of the road. I experimented once i was safely off the road and attempted to re engage the transmission. It let me go for another few miles then i was able to make it home. The next day i started to drive it to my…

Nhtsa and honda need to do a recall. I was driving when the transmission failed and was lucky to not have had any cars around me. This needs to be addressed with a recall and replacement by honda. We're the original owners and honda is…

Driver able to shut off ignition and remove key while transmission gear selector still in drive. My teen drivers that are learning to drive have done this numerous times, even after i have pointed it out to them.

The ignition key can be removed from the ignition with the gear selector still in drive. My teenage drivers have on several occasions left the van in the driveway with the van still in drive, ignition off. Luckily, our home's driveway is flat and we have not had an issue of the van rolling away - yet!

I got pulled off to the side of the road and had to call a wrecker service to come and pick us up. The van has been sitting for about a week. I got in it and it will go in a lower gear but only until the van warms up then it will not move at all. It cost me $200. To have it towed home and i was…

I realized that it wouldn't accelerate after being at a stop light. When it finally did it would jerk between gears.

The transmission is erratic and previously had issues between 2nd and 3rd. Now i'm told i need a new transmission. It has less than 96,000 miles. I'm a single mom w/ 2…

I bought my preowned 2001 honda odyssey within the first 20 days i could feel the tranny slipping sometimes. So i call the dealer and he said sold as is.

I should have done my usual…

I have a honda odyssey - 92000 miles - when the transmission issues started. Check engine and tcs lights came on and d4 light blinking. Called honda and was told that the car was outside the warranty period, but within the 100,000 miles. Honda had recalled this model and extended the warranty to 7 years, which means they did put faulty transmissions in these models. But now they are not honoring their warranty. Why…

I was on my way to work and came to a complete stop at a red stop light. The light had turned green and i proceeded to go and pushed the gas, the vehicle would not move. I turned the van off and on by the ignition a few times thinking it was something other than a transmission gear issue. I sat there for a few minutes after turning the vehicle off and turned it back on, it caught gear so i proceeded towards work.…
