No events leading up to the failure. The failure is the total loss of power to the drivetrain wheels due to automatic transmission torque converter failure. The automatic transmission is being replaced with a remanufactured automatic transmission. The onboard computer, an oxygen sensor and the ignition switch are also being replaced. These items were probably damaged when the automatic transmission failed. *tr

We bought a 2002 honda odyssey two years ago in 2008 with 70k miles on it for my mother. We bought it for the reliability of the honda name. Aprox. Three weeks ago the transmission started slipping in drive. The van now has 90k miles on it. I have changed the tranny fluid and the exterior tranny filter (that honda doesn't even acknowledge). Took it for a drive and the d light, tcs light, and the engine light came…

My car started revving very high and within 30 seconds, came to a complete standstill on the highway. The dealer said there were major transmission problems and that it had to be replaced. I had taken the car to the dealership for routine maintenance and with complaints that often it would not start. (the dealer said nothing was wrong with it and told me to use the "emergency key" to start it). *tr

Nhtsa recall #04v176000 power train:automatic transmission regarding the forementioned recall, i do not believe that honda's solution is only a short term solution and a safety issue still exists. The recall service work was performed 4/21/2004 by an authorized honda dealer. However, the vehicle shutters when changing between second and third gear and will sometimes have a delayed shift between gears where the car…

2002 honda odyssey. While accelerating onto the road/highway, the transmission fails to engage the next gear (3rd) and 'slips' - freewheels as if in neutral! Multiple times this has happened, even when accelerating up a hill, and is very dangerous because we can't get into the traffic stream! Honda has refused to acknowledge the design flaw with their transmissions and keeps replacing them with 'broken' ones!! The…

I have been told by honda and 2 other independent transmission repair shops have told me my 2002 honda odyssey, 76k miles, transmission needs to be replaced due to a very hard shift from 1st to 2nd. I'm also told the ecu must be replaced as well otherwise new part will not be warranted. Honda has agreed to pay 70% of the repair.
