2001 HONDA ODYSSEY Equipment Problems

I OWN A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN 2006 THAT ENDED IN THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD 53,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK (1/3/11), THE 2ND TRANSMISSION FAILED. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ACCELERATING UP A HILL WHEN I LOST ALL FORWARD GEARS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK. ALL OF MY FORWARD GEARS WERE GONE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THRU REMAINDER OF THE WAY IN REVERSE. I HAVE 95,000 ON THE VEHICLE. AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR WRECK IF I HAD BEEN ATTEMPTING A MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS AND WANT NHTSA TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST HONDA. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OF 2006 DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 87000 MILES LYNNWOOD HONDA DEALER SOLD AND INSTALLED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION FOR $3600. THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION FAILED IN LESS THAN A YEAR AT 37000 MILES. I BELIEVE THEY INSTALLED A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. HONDA SAYS THEY WON'T ASSIST ME. RESULTS: I LOST $3600 DOLLARS ON THE REPAIR. PLUS I HAVE A VAN WORTH $7000(KBB) THAT DOESN'T WORK. TOTAL LOSS $11000. *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE WITH MY WIFE AND OUR 5 CHILDREN AT A STEADY SPEED OF 60 MPH, THERE WAS A SNAP/JERKING MOTION FELT AND SLIGHT RUBBER SMELL AND THE VAN IMMEDIATELY LOST ACCELERATION. THERE WAS STEADY TRAFFIC I HAD TO NEGOTIATE THROUGH TO GET OUR VAN SAFELY OFF THE INTERSTATE. THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT DO SO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED FOR THE LAST REPLACEMENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO ADVISE OF RECOURSE OPTIONS I HAVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

HONDO ODYSSEY, 2001 DOOR LATCHES. DOOR DID NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS. THEN DOOR COMPLETELY STOPPED OPENING OR CLOSING EVEN AFTER RESETTING THE SYSTEM. HONDA GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $995.00 FOR THE LEFT DOOR AND $875.00 FOR THE RIGHT DOOR. I KNOW PRIOR TWO YEARS THIS MODEL WAS PRODUCED THE LATCH WAS RECALLED. I CAN NOT FIND A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. I FEEL IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 1999 AND 2000. *TR

MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO REPAIR PARTS DAMAGED BY DEALER. DEALER CHANGED TRANSMISSION-PROBLEMS STARTED AFTER, DEALER AND MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO WARRANTY OR REPAIR !*AK

CONSUMER STATED THE ROTORS STARTED TO WARP AT 12,000 THE ROTORS WERE NEVER REPLACED ONLY CUT DOWN TO REDUCE WARPAGE, CONSUMER STATED WHEN THE ROTORS ARE CUT IT WOULD ONLY SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE ROTORS, ALSO THE REAR HATCH SPOILER WAS REPLACED DUE TO IT BEING CRACKED. TS *JB
