On 9/10/14 i started noticing transmission slipping/down-shifting at 40mph/2k rpm many times during a less than an hour drive.

I was entering an interstate on a crowded day with construction cones on the side of the road. I had to accelerate quickly to get into a lane, and hit the gas pedal. I let up on the pedal once i was on the highway, but the pedal was stuck. I tried to pull it up, but it would not move. I could not get over, as the shoulder was blocked, so looked for an exit. I tried to shift into neutral, but it did not slow the car…

When we are going uphill from full stopped it seems the transmission is not picking up and it sounds like slippage of the gear. Then the yellow check engine indicator lights up and when we got home i grabbed my code reader and says p0730 incorrect gear ratio and p0505 idle. There is no crash but almost because the car behind us are really fast going uphill and because im not pressing the brake so most likely he…

Honda odyssey vehicles apparently have a well known transmission problem. Models from multiple years (including mine: 2002) have short lives compared to any other vehicle i've seen before. Worse yet, honda refuses to admit that this is a problem, nor will honda offer any help paying for the very costly repairs. And worst of all, even if the transmission is replaced (ultimately, the only fix that honda recommends),…

Two transmissions replaced at the dealership, so far, on my honda odyssey mini van, one at 60,000, the other at 162,000. The most recent failed transmission (6/16/2012) happened while traveling 60mph on a freeway, it felt like it slipped into neutral because i had no ability to accelerate! It was terrifying! I felt it miraculous that i could 'coast' off the road without being hit. *tr

I bought a 2002 honda odyssey from small dealer. Come to find out that the engine oil is leaking. It had 52000 miles on it. Dealer says it is out of warranty due to mileage. I believe that honda should fix that problem for me as it is not due to wear and tear of the vehicle. I believe the seal is defective and should be replaced free of charge. The dealer is asking $600.00 to fix the problem. The vehicle also lunges…
