Received news from a local honda dealership that all 4 engine mounts were broken for a cost of $925. When looking for parts happen to see the amount of chatter regarding engine mounts on several model years of the odyssey. Lesson learned... Perhaps check this site before buying any vehicle. Seems honda should cover some of the cost at least. *js

The transmission failed upon entering the freeway. Vehicle suddenly lost power and forced to pull over. Almost rear ended by other cars also entering the freeway. Honda odysseys are known to have transmission problems and this body style 1999 to 2004 are defective. From my readings a large quantity of the transmissions failed at 80,000 so at least we made it to 125,000 miles. I regularly changed the transmission…

The car was suddenly stuck immediately after crossing the intersection. I was not able to move the car in any direction and stuck on the road. On duty police officer informed that i need to move the car as early as possible because it is a safety…

I was driving on i-630 in little rock, in moderate traffic when the car suddenly lost power and would not accelerate. I was forced to coast through traffic to the side of the road without incident. As soon as i lost power, the lights on the dash flashed. If the traffic had been heavier, the outcome might not have been as favorable. The transmission failed without warning in the middle of the freeway. *tr

My transmission is making a noise, as of 3/21/13. I had taken it to transmission shop and it is ring and pinion and it is quite expensive so when i went to check it out on the internet came across that there was a recall on this model back in 2004 i was never notified and now it is costing me several thousands of dollars, if there is a recall on this i expect honda to pay for this not me. I love my van and bought it…

Honda odyssey has transmission issues. They had a class action law suit against them and i had the appropriate warranty work done on it. It has now gone completely out. I'm under on the mileage for the extended warranty work, but over on the age. If you look on the internet, this is happening to a lot of people. Honda either didn't fix the transmission issues or created new ones with the recall. Now the fix is a…
