The transmission in our 2001 odyssey went out for the second time after just 45,000 miles. It was originally "repaired" by honda under terms of their settlement of a class action lawsuit. But according to the transmission shop we took it to, the "repair" did not fix the underlying design flaw. It is well known that honda odyssey and other honda transmissions have a design flaw. Ours went out on a busy highway as we…

We have a 2001 honda odyssey ex. At 67,000 miles, while still under warranty, i noticed that it seemed to be slow at shifting gears after slowing down. I took it to the dealer and he said that this was normal. Now at 101,000, the engine light came on and the slow shifting suddenly got dramatically worse, with the engine revving up before jerking the car as the transmission finally shifts gears. Now when we took it…

2001 odyssey developed transmission problems a few weeks ago at 155,000 mi. Repairs are now offered by dealer after analysis of $4,500 for a totally new transmission. Extended warranty offer received from honda in 2006 was beyond our then current mileage. We have found from internet postings this recall apparently did not solve the honda odyssey transmission failure issue. After calls to honda they were unable to…

I am on my 3rd failed transmission from honda with my 2001 odyssey. It seems they go out every 60,000-80,000 miles. The first two were replaced with a fight all the way, but nevertheless replaced. Now they absolutely wont replace it because they go by the cars mileage and years, not the transmissions. I'm so frustrated and definitely would like to be a part of a class action suit if it ever comes to be. I have 3…

I bought a 2001 honda odyssey and within 5 months of owning it i broke down on the highway. I was driving and all of a sudden the rps went up and down and the van stopped within 60 seconds. I am the second owner and since buying the car this has never happened. I had the car towed to my house and then to a dealer. I was told that it needed a new transmission which would cost between 2100 and 2500.00. *tr
