My first transmission failed just at 40k miles. The service engine light came one. Was in the hov lane. Managed to get off the nearby exit ramp and called the honda dealer. I was able to drive it back home. The dealer said it was under warranty and replaced it. Once again at 107k miles the service engine light came on. I had just got the service done and a transmission fluid replaced. It happened within 2 weeks of…

Our cars have always been taken care of. We bring them in for all required maintenance and do not drive aggressively. We are the only owner of the van and we bought it brand new. Then in 2010, accelerating from a stoplight, the van would not shift up and drove at about 30 mph. We brought the van into the honda dealership who said we needed a transmission repair or replacement. They offered to do that for a hefty…

I own a 2001 honda odyssey vin [xxx]. It has 53,000 miles. Recently, on june 5th, 2010, i have found out that the vehicle is having some transmission issues. As is evident, i have driven only 53,000 miles in the past 9 years, which is much below the average of 12,000 miles driven per year. This car was driven primarily for doing groceries and dropping off and picking up my kids from school. This is our family car;…

My husband and i bought a used 2001 odyssey with 104,000 miles. Within a month the transmission began to slip. We looked on line and saw that the transmission for this year was on recall. We took it to the dealership who informed us that we had exceeded the recall limit by 3000 miles (we were then at 118,000). We could have a rebuilt transmission installed for $4000. We told them that was insane considering it was…

We own a 2001 honda odyssey. We bought it because we wanted a safe vehicle for driving. In 2006, we drove our van from massachusetts to florida. We took route 81. While driving we began to experience an odd pulling when putting pressing the gas. Eventually, the car would barely move. We were being watched by an angel. We were fortunately able to get off the main highway and find a place to look at the car. We were…

The van at times seemed to be sluggish when changing gears. Also the engine check light came on and so i had it tested by auto zone and they indicated it was transmission failure. This occurred at about 85,000 miles. I had the readout checked again by a certified honda mechanic and he said yes the transmission is failing. Early on i had been told about honda odyssey's and their transmission failures and so i changed…

Honda odyssey with 4 failed transmissions in less than 95,000 miles. Honda paid for the first 2 replacements but required us to pay 50% of the cost of the 4th transmission despite the car's history. I have read that under the terms of the class-action settlement, honda should have covered this up to 109,000 miles. Their customer service personnel are highly trained to avoid paying anything. They routinely won't…

Experienced initial transmission failure as erratic shifting, slipping, whining, and flashing "d" light. Transmission was replaced by honda. Currently, at 118,000 miles, the remanufactured transmission is failing. This is 42, 000 miles and 4 years after it was replaced.

The transmission will not shift out of park and the brake lights don't work from what i believe to be a faulty switch. I have to pump the brakes at least 5-10 times before i can shift out of park, and the brake lights don't always come on when driving a braking. I did a little research online and have found many people with similar problems with their honda odyssey vans and honda accords of approximately the same…

Transmission has failed 3 times while vehicle was in use. Failures occurred at 83,000 miles (2007), 117,000 miles (2010) and 135,000 miles (2011). Accidents were avoided in all three cases, but could easily have occurred as car was in highway use surrounded by other cars/ trucks when transmission locked up. Honda has not reimbursed any of these failures and in the first instance told vehicle owner that car was…
