2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

GOOD EVENING, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. LAST YEAR, THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO REMEDY THE ONGOING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RECALL 04V-176. BRAMAN HONDA IN MIAMI, FLORIDA DID NOT INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION AS REQUIRED AND LIED ON THEIR WORK ORDER THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOOK 7 HOURS WITH MY VAN. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED. MY TRANSMISSION WAS IN WORKING CONDITION WHEN IT TAKEN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LAST YEAR. I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES THAT THE RECALL WARNS THAT MAY HAPPEN DUE TO THE ONGOING GEAR ISSUES. LAST WEEK, WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY VAN'S TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME SAFELY. I RELY ON MY VAN FOR WORK THEREFORE THIS MATTER IS AFFECTING US FINANCIALLY. MY WIFE RECENTLY CALLED THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL HOTLINE AND SPOKE WITH LISA. THE...

2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE DURING A RECENT TRIP. CONSUMER STATES VEHICLE LOST POWER(SPEED) WHILE TRAVELING. *TGW THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE RPM'S INCREASED RAPIDLY AND SMOKE STARTING EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION AND OIL COOLER WERE REPLACED. *JB

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS STRANDED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, ROYAL HONDA IN METAIRIE, LA. ROYAL HONDA ADVISED THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $5,500. WE RECEIVED ESTIMATES FROM OTHER TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS AND DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FROM ROYAL HONDA TO PRECISION TRANSMISSION EXCHANGE, IN KENNER, LA. PRECISION TRANSMISSION INSTALLED A REBUILT TRANSMISSION ON OCTOBER 3, 2011 FOR $2,537. *TR

2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON JULY 27, 2012, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER IMMEDIATELY HAD IT CHECKED IT OUT, WHERE THEY DISCOVERED A POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THREE DIFFERENT MECHANICS, THE 2004 MODEL WAS KNOWN TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION FAN THAT DID NOT COOL DOWN THE TRANSMISSION EFFECTIVELY. THE FAILURE WAS DUE LARGELY TO THE TRANSMISSION FAN BEING TOO SMALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD AND CRASHED INTO A TREE AND THREE OTHER VEHICLES. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESIGNED IN A MANNER IN WHICH THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING SUCCESSFULLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE DEALER ALSO ADVISED THAT A COMPONENT ON THE VEHICLE MUST HAVE FAILED IN ORDER FOR THE FAILURE TO HAVE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE VEHICLE BEING LEFT IN GEAR.THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 102,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 07/25/12 *BF

NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION IN THE PAST. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN, WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CAR WAS UNDRIVABLE AND BEGAN TO OVERHEAT. THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL OVER. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND HAD TRANSMISSION REBUILT FOR $1500. SINCE THE REBUILD, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES. *KB

I HAVE A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 111,111 MILES AND WE CURRENTLY LIVE OVERSEAS IN ENGLAND. MY CHECK ENGINE AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON FIVE DAYS AGO AND SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN DOWN HILL. IT HAS TROUBLE GETTING INTO REVERSE AND NOW IT IS SCIPPING REALLY BAD IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA AND SINCE IT IS US SPEC AND HAS TO SHIP THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE STATES IT WILL COST 7500 POUNDS AND WITH THE EXCHANGE RATE IT WOULD BE ABOUT 12000 DOLLARS. WE DO NOT HAVE MANY CHOICES AS THEY ARE NOT MANY SHOPS THAT WILL WORK ON AMERICAN SPEC CARS. WE LOVED THE VAN UP UNTIL THIS ALL STAREDWE HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE TO GET RID OF THE CAR AS IT IS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH. WE ARE REALLY IN A BIND AS WE ARE A FAMILY OF SIX AND...

DRIVING WITH FAMILY ON BUSY HIGHWAY ON MOTHER'S DAY 2010. COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON OUR 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. HONDA REFUSES TO ADMIT A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY ISSUED A RECALL FOR ONE PARTICULAR YEAR IN THE EARLY 2000'S. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND WERE ABLE TO GUIDE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. TOTAL REPAIRS WERE WELL OVER $3,000. HONDA STARTED USING A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION RECENTLY IN THE ODYSSEY MODEL. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FULLY AS THE INTERNET IS LITTERED WITH REPORTS OF SIMILAR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TT

2004 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS FAILING TRANSMISSION AT BARELY OVER 100,000. THIS PROBLEM MAY HAVE STARTED AT ONLY 80K! THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PER THE MANUFACTURER. UPON RESEARCH AND CONFIRMATION FROM THE DEALER, HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS MODEL HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, THEY HAD THE RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL CONSUMERS AND PAY FOR REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR FAILURE DIAGNOSTICS WHERE HE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 0V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,037 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THE VAN HAS MADE STRANGE NOISES AND GOTTEN HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE SINCE WE PURCHASED AS 'CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED' FROM HONDA DEALER. WE REPORTED BOTH TO DEALER AND GOTTEN NO RESPONSE BUT 'OH, WELL'. WE HAVE SERVICED THE VEHICLE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP SINCE PURCHASED AND FOLLOWED ALL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SERVICE. THE D LIGHT HAS BEEN FLASHING AT RANDOM FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT EACH SERVICE APPT THEY FOUND NOTHING AND JUST SENT US ON THE WAY. AT THE LAST APPT, THEY FINALLY FOUND A BAD SENSOR THAT HAD BEEN CAUSING THE LIGHT TO FLASH (THEY SAID). WE HAD THEM REPLACE THE SENSOR. WE DROVE ACROSS THE US TO VISIT FAMILY. THE TCS AND CEL CAME ON AND WE TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP TO HAVE THE CODE READ. P0740. WE CALLED OUR DEALER IN OR AND THEY SAID IT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE IT BACK TO OR FROM AL. 20 MILES...

I OWN HONDA ODYSSEY 2004, 170000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE CODE P0730. WHEN I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY GAVE ESTIMATES FOR REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT. CALLING TO HONDA USA I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS IN 2004. ALSO, THEY TOLD ME THAT RECALL WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE. TALKING TO OTHER OWNERS, I FOUND THAT THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH THE MILEAGE, 120000 OR 150000 WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH SLEEPING GEARS AND CODES. AFTER TALKING TO HONDA CASE MANAGER, THEY TOLD ME THAT HONDA WOULD NOT PAY FOR REPLACEMENT. THEY WOULD NOT CONFIRM THE CONVERSATION OR WILLING TO SENT ANY LETTERS OF OUTCOME OF THIS CASE. THE VAN WAS PURCHASED FROM THE HONDA DEALER IN 2009 FOR $17,000 AND DEALER GAVE ONE YEAR WARRANTY. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY IN THE FALL OF 2003. ABOUT A YEAR LATER, THERE WAS A RECALL & THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. IN THE FALL OF 2009, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED & WAS REBUILT FOR $2800 THROUGH A INDEPENDENT SHOP. I HAD CONTACTED THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME A BREAK ON THE PRICE WHICH WAS ABOUT 1K MORE. IN MARCH OF 2011 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN & HAD TO BE REBUILT FOR $2100. ALTHOUGH OUT OF WARRENTY, THE SHOP GAVE ME A BREAK ON THE LABOR CHARGE. I BOUGHT A HONDA BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION FOR QUALITY. HOWEVER, DUE TO THIS ONGOING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

FEBRUARY 29, 2011: I OWN A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 136,961 MILES. I LOVED LOVED LOVED MY HONDA, UNTIL NOW. TCS & CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. TOOK TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY GOT THE CODES P0700AT & P0740TC. THEY ADVISED I TAKE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH THEY DON'T. DEALER SAID COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION BUT BATTERY WAS WEAK AND TIMING BELT & TIMING BELT HOLDER NEEDED REPLACEMENT. AFTER PAYING $1200 I PICKED UP THE VAN AND DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE TCS & ENGINE CAME ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID LOCAL REPAIR SHOP MUST HAVE ERASED THE TRANSMISSION CODED WHEN THEY CHECK THEM AND THAT IS WHY THEY DIDN'T SEE THEM AND THOUGHT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. THEY SAID...

AT LESS THAN 87,000 MILES, MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. ONE MONTH AGO, THE HONDA DEALER PERFORMED A TRANSMISSION SERVICE ON THE CAR AS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THEN IT STARTED SLIPPING WITHIN 3 WEEKS. I HAVE READ THAT COUNTLESS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH 1999-2004 ODYSSEYS AND THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED ON 1999-2001 MODELS. MY 2004 HAD A RECALL THAT SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ISSUE, AND YET, AT THIS LOW MILEAGE, I AM NOW FACED WITH A $5,000 REPAIR ON A CAR THAT HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. HONDA HAS ALSO ISSUED MANY TSBS ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. NHTSA SHOULD FORCE THEM TO REPLACE ALL TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL ODYSSEYS FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

WELL . . . WE HAVE A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY AND JUST HIT THE 103,000 MILE MARK AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE STARTED. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THEN THE CAR STARTED TO HESITATE UNTIL IT JUST WOULDN'T DRIVE ANYMORE. LUCKILY, HE BROKE DOWN IN FRONT OF A MECHANIC SHOP. CODE P0740 HAS COME UP MEANING WE NEED A NEW TRANNY. CALLED HONDA 12/10 AND AGAIN 2/11. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN HOPES OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND GETTING ASSISTANCE FROM HONDA FOR THE TRANSMISSION THAT HAS VERY PUBLICLY FAILED. WE WERE OFFERED A HIGHLY OVERPRICED RATE, TEN HAD IT TOWED TO AAMCO AND HAD IT REPAIRED FOR $1,000 LESS THAT THE ORIGINAL QUOTE WITH HONDA. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED THROUGH AAMCO TRANSMISSION, WITH THE FINAL BILL BEING $4700.29 . WE'RE THE 2ND...

SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE TOOK A JERK (LIKE A HICCUP) AND ALL THE SYSTEMS SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY. EVEN THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY FROZEN SINCE THERE WAS NO POWER. I HARDLY MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER WHILE HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC WAS PASSING. IT WAS A HORRIBLE FEELING. MY FAMILY WAS COMPLETELY TERRIFIED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP.
