Automatic Transmission
This is a new car purchased and serviced by the dealer from the date of delivery (12/28/04). The honda service dept did not discover the transmission problems until it malfunctioned. This is very unusual. I have all the service documents to prove it. The honda service department would like me to replace the transmission at my own expense. Their negligence caused this auto transmission failure. The consumer stated a…

2005 honda transmission is failing at 60k miles. Some motor mounts were ruined from the shaking and needed to be replaced. The front axle has damage from the shaking as well. And i still need to replace the transmission. The gearing gets stuck shifting around 45 mph, it groans and shakes the car before finally shifting down a gear. *kb

The car shutters around 40 - 50 mph as well as on inclines. I'm amazed at how many complaints there are about this and how common the defect is that the two places i called after being told by the honda dealer that i needed a $2200 torque converter put in knew immediately what i was talking about. The 05 odyssey's are notorious for this problem. I'm surprised that honda has let this go without a recall. *tr

At around 85,000 miles our 2005 odyssey started exhibiting a transmission shudder in the 30-40 mph range. I talked with the dealer about it, and they mentioned it would require the torque converter being replaced.

I had the flush done again…
