We have had two transmissions fail on our 2002 honda odyssey. The first time, the dealer denied we had a transmission problem during the warranty period. When the warranty expired, the transmission failed.even though there was a recall, we were never informed of it by honda. After much wrangling, honda paid for the parts but we had to pay for the labor, $1,100. We believe honda installed a refurbished transmission…

One month ago, my honda odyssey transmission started to slip and hesitate when i drove into free way. Almost rear-ended by cars behind. And also, engine and tcs light came on. I had to turn on emergency light and drive at about 40 miles/hour on the free way. The slip seems to happen when the auto transmission switches between 2nd and 3rd gear. When putting on gas to accelerate, it can take long time (1 minute) to go…

I bought 2002 honda odyssey last year and now it has a transmission problem. I got the quote from a few shops and minimum cost that i need to pay is $2000. This is ridiculous. Funny thing is that i have 3 friends of odyssey owners that have the same transmission problem which is 2nd to 3rd gear converting problem. Honda! Do something for this! You must know this problem so do recall service. *kb

Failure of honda odyssey 2002 transmission. While driving, the van randomly stops responding to acceleration and slows down, creating very unsafe driving conditions on the highway. It seems, the honda odyssey transmission recall work done in 2004 was a temporary fix and it delayed the failure rather than fixing it. *tr

It felt as if the van was hit form behind by another vehicle, which was not the case. We pulled into a parking lot to rest the van, and to try and regain our confidence and courage to continue driving it again. Once on the road the same jerking sensation…
