THE 4-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY MODELS HAD SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION DURABILITY. HONDA SPOKESMAN [XXX] STATED THAT FOUR-SPEED MODELS WERE AFFLICTED WITH A BAD BEARING THAT COULD BREAK APART, SCATTERING FRAGMENTS OF METAL THAT CLOGGED FLUID PASSAGEWAYS IN THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING IT TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY.[11] HONDA RESPONDED TO THE PROBLEMS BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION ON U.S.A. '99-'01 MODELS TO 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES (160,900 KM). A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT FURTHER EXTENDED COVERAGE TO 109,000 MILES (175,400 KM) OR 93 MONTHS FOR SOME '99-'01 ODYSSEYS IN THE U.S.A.[12] CANADA IS NOT INCLUDED.

TRANSMISSION FAILING. *TR

HAVE HAD 2000 ODYSSEY LX SINCE 19K MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 125K MILES, NOW AT 197K MILES IT HAS GONE OUT AGAIN, MY WIFE WAS ON THE ROAD WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, SHE WAS GOING 60 MPH, IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CALLED WITH AN ESTIMATE TO REPLACE THE TRANNY FOR $8900, TRYING TO HAVE US BUY A NEW ONE? WE DON'T HAVE THE INCOME TO AFFORD A NEW ONE OR A RIDICULOUS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. SHE HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO GET SERVICED JUST THE WEEK PRIOR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, THEY CLEARED THE CODE. HONDA IS TRYING TO SWEEP THIS UNDER THE RUG, I HAVE READ THE OTHER COMPLAINTS AND GUESS WE ARE FORTUNATE TO ONLY HAVE HAD 1 REPLACEMENT. MY WIFE HAS TALKED TO INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND HAS HEARD FROM...

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AND IT IS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS DETECTED BY THE ERROR CODE SHOWN BY THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON OFTEN , SOMETIMES THE TCS LIGHT IS COMING ON. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IN 126000, BUT THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN WHEN IT WAS 115,000 MILES. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED 3 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME IT FAILED I REPLACED IT AT THE DEALER. THE SECOND TIME IT FAILED IT WAS REPLACED AT A TRANSMISSION SHOP (ABOUT 1YEAR 3 MONTHS AGO) THIS IS THE THIRD TIME, I TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND THEY ALL SAID ITS THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. IT SEEMS THAT IT WORKS FOR 1 YEAR AND THE IT FAILS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT BY REFUELING THE VEHICLE, IT COULD HAVE TRIGGERED THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. LATER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHOW SIGNS OF ABNORMAL VIOLENT JERKING. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, STABILIZER AND LINKS, FRONT MOTOR MOUNT, RIGHT SIDE MOTOR MOUNT, AND ALIGNMENT ALL NEEDED REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 116,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR P0401 CODE FOR CLOGGED EGE SYSTEM AND P1739 FOR THE TRANSMISSION CODE MY TRANSMISSION WAS ALREADY REPLACED THIS IS THE 2ND TRANSMISSION FROM HONDA. ON AUGUST 2010 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK THE CAR TO PEP BOYS. THEY PULLED UP THE 2 CODES P0401 AND P1739 FOR CLOGGED EGR SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION CODE. I REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND STILL THE SAME CODE CAME UP. MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT HAS TO BE PERFORMED TO UNCLOGG THE EGR SYSTEM THAT IS TO HONDA BULLETIN 00-009 TO DRILL A HOLE IN THE MANIFOLD AND INSTALL A PIPE. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE UNDER WARRANTY IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO BAD A GAIN BECAUSE IT HAS THE P1739 CODE. I WANT BOTH OF THESE FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. *TR

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION. THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE AT AN INTERSECTION ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE IS RAVING. TRANSMISSION STICK WOULD ALSO NOT GO BEYOND D4 WHILE TRYING TO MOVE THE VAN. *TR

ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY LX MINIVAN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 105,366 MILES. HONDA MOTOR CORPORATE REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY REIMBURSEMENT TOWARDS A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN 105,366 MILES. *TR

MY WIFE TOOK OUR YOUNG CHILDREN TO TOWN AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE THE CONTACT DROVE APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT JERK AS MUCH WHEN DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE LOCAL MECHANIC THAT THE FAILURE WAS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,000.

MY MINIVANS FAILS TO CHANGE GEARS LIKE IT SHOULD. WHEN I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE MINIVANS SEEMS TO HESITATE TO CHANGE GEARS. I WOULD NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM BUT MY MINIVANS CARRIES FOUR CHILDREN IN IT AT ALL TIMES. IF I'M GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY LIKE I'M ALWAYS DOING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY MINIVANS TRANSMISSION DECIDES TO GO? I'M UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE AND I HAVE MY FOUR CHILDREN WITH ME. I JUST DON'T THINK SO. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I WOULD LOVE HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BUT YOU NEED MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SO WHAT AM I TO DO? SIMPLE RIGHT? WRONG I NEED TO BORROW A VEHICLE FROM A FAMILY MEMBER TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND DO WHAT...

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT I BOUGHT WITH 119K MILES ON IT. THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT SERVICED BY HONDA. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT AROUND 60K AND NOW AT 170K MILES THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED EVERY 25K, ONE AT 120K AND ANOTHER AT 145K. HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR FREE, TWO FAILED TRANSMISSIONS IN 170K MILES IN UNACCEPTABLE! *TR

HONDA IS REPLACING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS WITH REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE JUST AS FAULTY, IF NOT MORE SO, THAN THE ORIGINAL. MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR ITS 4TH TRANSMISSION. AFTER THE FIRST ONE FAILED AT 62K MILES, THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT HONDA HAD FIXED THE ISSUES AND THAT THE REPLACEMENT WOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WOO HOO FOR HONDA! THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM, FIXED IT, AND TOOK MEASURES TO ADDRESS IT AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. THEY SCORED BIG POINTS WITH THAT MOVE... UNTIL THE SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED 57K MILES LATER (10K MILES PAST THE 109K CLASS ACTION WARRANTY EXTENSION). WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER THIS TIME, I QUESTIONED HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE TRANSMISSION THEY WERE ABOUT TO INSTALL. HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SOME OF THE EARLY REPLACEMENTS DID STILL HAVE PROBLEMS, BUT HONDA...

WHILE RETURNING FROM A LONG DISTANCE TRIP, "CHECK ENGINE" AND "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" LIGHTS CAME ON. STOPPED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR DIAGNOSIS - ADVISED TORQUE CONVERTER WAS BAD AND NOT DRIVE VEHICLE ANY FURTHER. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED 260 MILES TO PERSONAL MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY A REPUTABLE TRANSMISSION SHOP. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD ITS REGULAR AND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, AS PER OWNER'S MANUAL. A NOTICE WAS RECEIVED A FEW YEARS AGO, THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO COVER 7 YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE OR 100,000. THE VEHICLE IS TEN YEARS OLD AND HAS JUST TURNED 100, 965 MILES. *TR

THE CONTACT APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT HAD NOT SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 142,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000-136000. UPDATED 10/13/10*BF UPDATED 12/08/10 *BF PICTURES RECEIVED 10/19/10*JB UPDATED 12/13/10*JB

MY HONDA 2000 ODYSSEY HAS HAD TWO TRANSMISSION GO OUT. ONCE IN 2005 (COVERED BY WARRANTY AND NOW 2010 ( NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY). THE DEALER TALKED TO HONDA HEADQUARTERS, AND SAID THEY WONT COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRANS MISSION JUST WENT OUT AND I ALMOST HAD A COLLISION WITH OTHER CARS. *TR

HONDA ODYSSEY - TRANSMISSION SECOND TIME, REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS SECOND TRANSMISSION ONLY LASTED 64,067. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY IN SEPTEMBER, 1999. AT APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NO RENTAL CAR WAS AVAILABLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. APPROXIMATELY 49,000 MILES LATER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WENT OUT AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN...THIS TIME UNDER WARRANTY WITH A WARNING THAT I WAS GETTING A BIG BREAK. AGAIN, FOR 4 DAYS I HAD TO GO WITHOUT A VEHICLE. NOW IT'S 45,000 MILES LATER AND THE SECOND REPLACEMENT IS ALSO DONE...THIS TIME THE CAR WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS THE GEARS SLIPPED AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO ACCELERATE. THIS TIME I HAVE BEEN DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE OR COMPENSATION BY HONDA AND THE BILL FOR THE "NEW" TRANSMISSION IS $4,700. THIS IS DUE TO BEING OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 109,000 MILES. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO THINK ABOUT MY OPTIONS. THREE...

TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND THEN FAILED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY ON OUR 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS IS THE THIRD TRANSMISSION AND WAS INSTALLED NEW UNDER WARRANTY. WE WERE ON A RURAL HIGHWAY TRAVELED ABOUT 55 MPH, WHEN THE SLIPPAGE STARTED AND QUICKLY LOST FORWARD GEAR AND THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEED. THE ROAD IS HILLY AND ANOTHER VEHICLE COULD HAVE REAR-ENDED US AT THAT POINT. THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

1. DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 250 MILES FROM HOME AND TCS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TCS LIGHT WENT OFF, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. 2. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY FOR SERVICE (OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE STILL 250 MILES FROM HOME) AND WAS TOLD "TRANSMISSION FAILURE", AS WELL AS GIVEN RECALL NOTICE FOR THE TRANSMISSION (1999-2001). COST WOULD BE $5,400 AND A $92 CHARGE FOR THE "DIAGNOSIS". WAS AMAZED BY THIS AND SERVICE MGR WAIVED DIAGNOSIS FEE AT LEAST. TOLD TO CALL AMERICAN HONDA FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. 3. CALLED AMERICAN HONDA WITH ALL DETAILS AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER AND TO ASK DEALER TO WORK WITH US (DEALERSHIP TOLD US ASK AMERICAN HONDA FOR HELP). ACKNOWLEDGED TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND CLASS-ACTION SUIT, BUT STILL WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. I HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER TO AMERICAN HONDA DETAILING SITUATION AND ASKING FOR AT...

APPROX -JUNE OF 2010 I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AT 114500M "AS IS". WHEN PURCHASED, IT DIDN'T LEAK WHEN SITTING STILL. I PAID JIFFY $122.00 TO POWER FLUSH THE TRANSMN FLUID. I LIFTED THE CAR AND INSPECTED IT MYSELF AFTER I THEN SAW A LEAK. I WAS GOING TO SIMPLY REPLACE THE DRIVERSIDE AXLE SEAL TO SOLVE THE LEAK PROBLEM. BUT I FOUND A MUCH MORE SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WAS BUILD INTO THIS CAR, THAT THE MFG IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. THE LEFT SIDE INNER SHAFT AT THE TRANSMISSION SEAL AREA WAS LOOSE. (I WIGGLED IT BY HAND). I FOUND THAT WHEN DRIVEN IT SPILLS FLUID AT A RATE OF 1/2 QUART PER DAY, AT THE SEAL. I CAN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE TO PURCHASE AT $5000.0 AND SIMULTANEOUSLY PAY $5025 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. HONDA AMERICA SAID "THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL IS THE PROBLEM, YOU CAN PUT SEALS IN IT ALL DAY...

1. NO SIGNIFICANT EVENTS LEADING UP TO FAILURE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. WE ARE EASY CAREFUL DRIVERS. HOWEVER, WE FOUND OUT WHEN DEALERSHIP SERVICE PLACES "FLUSH" THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ON CARS BUILT BY HONDA DURING THIS TIME, IT FLUSHES METAL PARTS DOWN TO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL AND NEEDING FULL REPLACEMENT. 2. TRANSMISSION ON 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HAD WE IGNORED ENGINE LIGHT, WE MIGHT OF HAD CAR FAIL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. 3. $3000 LATER, GETTING IT REPLACED. *TR

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY 3RD TRANSMISSION FAILURE, SAFETY ISSUE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND PURCHASED HAD THE 3RD TRANSMISSION INSTALLED ALONG WITH THE PREVIOUS ONE) BY HONDA. THIRD TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED AT 135K AND NOW AT 190K IT HAS FAILED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. DISSATISFIED WITH HONDA CORPORATION THAT WILL NOT STAND BEHIND AND CORRECT A WELL DOCUMENTED AND KNOWN TRANSMISSION FAILURE PROBLEM.

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES TO EXPRESS CONTINUING PROBLEM AND LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM HONDA MOTOR CORPORATION REGARDING MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION FAILURES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE NEEDS A 5TH TRANSMISSION. *JB

WE HAVE A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER RECALL AT ABOUT 68,0000 MILES, AND IT WAS REPLACED BEFORE WE NOTICED ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. WE WERE OUTSIDE THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY THEY HAD GIVEN US ON THE REPLACEMENT WHEN WE STARTING NOTICING THE TRANSMISSION SLIP. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY WHEN WE TOOK IT IN, TELLING US REPAIR COST WOULD BE $4500. AT ABOUT 130,0000 MILES, THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY FAILED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON A TRIP OUT OF TOWN. AFTER IT FAILED, WE PAID SOMEONE ELSE TO REPAIR IT, CAUSING US OVER 3500 IN TOWING, REPAIR AND RENTAL CAR COSTS. WE WERE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD WITH A FAMILY OF 4 IN THE 105 DEGREE TEXAS HEAT UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE. *TR

HAD TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY REPLACED ON 2007 BECAUSE IT HAD GONE SOUTH. NOW 2 YEARS LATER THE REPLACEMENT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. THEY OFFERED 50% AS APPARENTLY THE "NEW" TRANSMISSION HAD ALL OF A ONE YEAR WARRANTY ON IT. THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT WAS NO CHARGE, BUT SAYS NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT WARRANTY ON THE PAPERWORK. ONLY WHEN WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER DID WE FIND OUT APPARENTLY IT WAS A ONE YEAR WARRANTY. THE GUY AT THE SERVICE COUNTER TOLD ME "IF A CUSTOMER PAYS ANY MONEY FOR THE REPLACEMENT, IT IS A 3 YEAR/36000 MILE WARRANT. IF IT'S FREE, IT'S A ONE YEAR WARRANTY". TALKED TO THE 800-999-1009 NUMBER AND THE PHONE REP, WHILE POLITE, WAS DEFENSIVE AND AVOIDED HONDA TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. SAID 50% WAS "MORE THAN FAIR" AND "ABOVE AND BEYOND THEIR RESPONSIBILITY", EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT...

I OWN A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. I AM SURE YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEIR KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND WITHOUT A RECALL, DECIDED TO SIMPLY EXTEND THE WARRANTY FROM 5YRS TO 7YRS, KNOWING THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD RUN INTO PROBLEMS AFTER THE 7YR MARK, MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE 6YR MARK. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. AS THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, I WAS TOLD TO JUST IGNORE IT, AS IT MUST HAVE COME ON AFTER FILLING UP GAS, AND NOT TO WORRY, AS IT WILL GO OFF AUTOMATICALLY. FINALLY I TOLD THEM TO CHECK THE CODES, AND NOW THEY TELL ME IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, BUT TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT, AS JUST BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON, THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT "DEAD" AND TO CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL I NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS. WELL, AFTER...

THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY AND AFTER A REPAIR IN 5/2007, HONDA REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND ANY WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. *TR

HONDA ODYSSEY 2000 TRANSMISSION ISSUE REPLACED AT 60,000 MILES AND NOW ISSUES AT 99,000 HONDA SAID THEY WOULD COVER 10% NO MORE THEY INSTALLED ANOTHER BAD TRANSMISSION I SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKE I THINK NOT THE DEALER IS ON MY SIDE AND AGREES THAT HONDA INSTALLED THE SAME BAD TRANSMISSION A 2ND TIME. THAT DOES NOT SEAM TO BE CORRECT THING TO DO. HELP! *TR

2000 HONDA ODDESSY TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 85,000 MILES REPLACED TRANSMISSON COST ME ALMOST 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 2 YRS LATER TRANSMISSION IS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

2000 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE, APPROXIMATELY THE 3RD FAILURE SINCE PURCHASED IN 2005 OR EARLY 2006. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILS, THE VAN DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL AND WITHOUT WARNING. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN WERE ONCE STRANDED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN GOD INTERVENED AND GAVE HER JUST ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE SHE WAS TOWED FROM. JANUARY 2ND AT 2AM THE TRANNY WENT OUT ON HIGHWAY 80 AND MY WIFE THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. IT WAS THE TRANNY. AND MY 4 YOUNGEST CHILDREN WAS WITH HER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO THE SECOND GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED IN APRIL OF 2005 FOR AN IDENTICAL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD BE REBUILT AT AN EXPENSE OF $2500.00. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,100.

WE BOUGHT A USED HONDA ODYSSEY 2000 VAN WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES. THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOOK METICULOUS CARE OF THE VAN AND HAD IT MAINTAINED REGULARLY WHICH IS WHY WE WERE SURPRISED AT 67,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT. I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN THE GEARS STARTED SLIPPING. I WAS IN A 50 MILE PER HOUR ZONE WHEN THE GEARS WOULDN'T SHIFT AND I WAS STUCK IN THIRD GEAR. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS CRASH. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VAN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A VERY NARROW SHOULDER. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS, I FOUND THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH HONDA VANS. WE INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY BUT WERE TOLD THAT WE WERE OUTSIDE OF THE 93 MONTH PARAMETER. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD NO ISSUES WITH...

HONDA 2000 ODYSSEY LX IRREGULAR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON MY 2000 ODYSSEY, IT WAS SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON A 65 MPH HIGHWAY AS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SHIFTED DOWN GEARS. THE CHECK ENGINE AND TCS LIGHTS ARE ON. THE FAILURE CODE WAS READ AS P0740 IN A DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THE CAR MAY SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN OR SPEED UP OR COMPLETE STOP IN THE TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY PREDICTION FROM THE DRIVER. IT'S NOT ONLY VERY DANGEROUS TO ODYSSEY DRIVER AND PASSENGERS BUT ALSO TO THE OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD. MY 2000 ODYSSEY GOT 2 TRANSMISSIONS FAILED ALREADY. I DON'T HAVE CONFIDENCE ON THE 3RD ONE. IN NHTSA SAFETY COMPLAINT DATA BASE YOU HAVE SO MANY SIMILAR REPORTS ALREADY. NHTSA CANNOT ALLOW THIS SITUATION CONTINUES AND SO MANY DANGEROUS ODYSSEY VANS RUNNING WITH DANGEROUS TRANSMISSIONS. HONDA ONCE RECALLED SOME MODEL YEARS ODYSSEY BUT NOT ALL...

IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL SLIP WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. THE DEALER WILL NOT LOOK INTO, WITHOUT CHARGING OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT BECAUSE OUR WARRANTY IS LNG OVER. WE HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC DO WORK , BUT PROBLEM IS NOT SOLVED. HONDA IS HAVING MANY PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSIONS, WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS AT ONLY 79,000 MILES. *TR

I'M WRITING TO YOU TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT INTO HONDA ODYSSEY'S FROM 2000-2003. FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS HOANG PHAM AND MY FAMILY OWNS AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP IN ARLINGTON, VA AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL CUSTOMERS TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THEIR VEHICLES, ALWAYS HAVE RECOMMENDED THEIR PRODUCT TO CUSTOMERS LOOKING TO PURCHASE NEW VEHICLES SINCE WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR PRODUCTS.

I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT THIS AND THEY DID A SEARCH ON MY VIN # AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS CHANGED AR 53,540 MILES AT HUNTINGTON HONDA IN HUNTINGTON, LONG ISLAND, NY, SO THE 2ND TRANSMISSION ONLY LASTED 40,000MILES. THE DEALER WANTS 3000.00 DOLLARS FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION WITH A 1 YEAR 12,000 MILES WARRANTY....
