2002 odyssey, purchased new. Transmission failure at 135,000. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd, it slips into "neutral" and will not re-engage. I've read about many failure of the same type. Dealer will not help cover costs and said 135,00 is "pretty good" for the life of this tranny and then requested $4000 to have it rebuilt. So much for honda quality. *tr

Transmission slips, won't shift out of first gear, shifts erratically. When transmission won't shift out of first gear the car cannot get up to highway speeds and becomes an obstacle for traffic which begins honking and passing. Merging safely is extremely difficult as the car will not go over approximately 40 miles per hour. Cannot meet minimum speed requirement on some highways. This has been happening…

I have a 2002 odyssey with 101,000 miles and the transmission just failed.
