NHTSA Complaint #11373264 — 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY

TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURED WHEN DRIVING IN RT 5 FREEWAY PAST GLENDALE AND 134 JUNCTION, CAR WAS RUNNING IN ABOUT 60 MILES SPEED AND CAME ABRUPT STOP (LOSS OF DRIVE/PULL IN A VERY DANGEROUS WAY). MANAGED TO PUSH IT TO BREAKDOWN LANE. THEN UPON TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND AFTER A WHILE I COULD DRIVE A BIT TO PARK IN INTERNAL ROAD. I THEN TOWED THE CAR. LATER, I DROVE IN INTERNAL ROAD. SAME PROBLEM OCCURS. WHEN PLACED IN AUTOMATIC DRIVE (D) VEHICLE RUNS FOR FEW MILES AND SUDDENLY FAILS TO RUN AND STOPS. CHANGING GEAR DOESN'T HELP. WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND ON BACK AGAIN, IT WORKS AGAIN FOR A MILE OR TWO AND SHOWS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS, IT DOESN'T MOVE IN ANY GEARS. RESEARCHING IN INTERNET, HONDA 2004 ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRING AT 117,000 MILES WAS REPORTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET. AS IF IT WAS PROGRAMMED BY HONDA, THIS MINI VAN TOO FAILED AT 117K MILES. SOME OWNERS HAVE CLAIMED (INCLUDING YOUTUBE VIDEOS) THAT HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE REPAIR AT NO COST. SOME ALSO CLAIM THAT HONDA HAS SECRET WARRANTY TO COVER THIS PROBLEM AND HAD AVAILED THE REPAIR FREE OF COST .THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM TO HONDA. HONDA MUST REPAIR FOR FREE AND DO THE JUSTICE TO CONSUMERS. THIS IS INDEED FATAL TOO.
