Interlock shift issue. You can remove the key from the ignition while in drive. The issue was initially corrected via a recall. The issue is now happening again. Dealership/ honda is not willing to fix it because they didn't duplicate on a level surface. It repeatedly happens when i pull into my driveway which is on a slant. My concern is that the car started rolling while my kids were getting out of the car. Major…

Transmission started slipping badly at under 140,000 miles. I am original owner and have always used dealer as the mechanic and for recalls or services. I had higher expectations from honda cars, to go longer. The price they quoted me for repair was over 5000$ just for the transmission. The service was poor and i am very disappointed! They even charged me 115$ just to tell me my transmission is slipping (which i…

I didn't realize they were unleashed by they started running toward the car and the doors would not close!!! My 3 year old daughter was in the back seat. This is a huge problem as her safety and my 8 year old sons safety is being compromised.…

My wife had the accelerator stuck at full throttle with cannon/weathertech floor mats today and it gave her quite a scare, especially since our ten year old son was also in the vehicle at the time. She had it floored to pass a slow moving vehicle on a two lane highway when the issue occurred. I couldn't figure out what was going on because with the van off and in the garage, if i pushed the pedal all the way down,…

On the freeway when all of a sudden without warning slipped and lost power. Very scary with small children in the car and was barley able to make it off the freeway without getting into an accident. Only by the grace of god did we make it safely off the freeway. Honda dealer said we needed a new transmission. I had the extended warranty up to 106,000. Just a few thousand miles over warranty and honda would only…

I bought a 2003 honda odyssey and the transmission has an issue for acceleration from 20~40mph, which it looks like the gear not hooked up. I had the honda dealer check up and they didn't think the transmission had issue. This kind of incident happened many times starting from last october to now. It happened again today. It is dangerous to drive. *ln

While driving uphill our 2003 honda odyssey transmission failed and we dangerously rolled down the hill into a side street, with children in the car. We had it towed to dealership and was told transmission needed to be replaced at a cost of 1/4 of original price of car. Honda agreed to pay 43% of inflated dealership estimate, which clearly is an admission of a defective and unsafe transmission. After repair is made…
