2001 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

I HAVE HAD MY HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAD NO COMPLAINTS. BUT NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN TRANNY GONE. I SERVICED IT ON THE REGULAR, FLUID NEVER CHANGED COLORS( BURNT COLOR). I GOT 183K . ON IT.. JUST DID TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP. NOW I WILL HAVE A GOOD MINIVAN IF I HAD A NEW TRANNY...ANY INFO WOULD BE HELPFUL AND GLADLY APPRECIATED.. *TR

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SLAM INTO GEAR AND SLIP OUT OF GEAR. HONDA REPAIRED IT IN LATE 2009 UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE. *JB

TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 67,000 MILES IN 2007. TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN AT 107,000 2011. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL ODYSSEY'S AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSIONS WITH A PROPERLY DESIGNED ONE. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THESE ISSUES...THERE IS A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO IT HTTP://WWW.ODYSSEYTRANSMISSION.COM/. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED. INSTEAD OF SPEEDING UP, THE VEHICLE SLOWED. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. IT APPEARS THAT MOST 2001 HONDA ODYSSEYS HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

BOUGHT VEHICLE 2001. FIRST TRANSMISSION WENT SUMMER OF 2004. HONDA PAID TO REPLACE. SECOND TRANSMISSION WENT SUMMER 2009. WE PAID TO REPLACE. TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. VEHICLE HAS 157,000 AND IS 10 YEARS OLD. *TR

SLIDING DOORS: ONE DOOR STOPPED OPENING ALL TOGETHER, SO PASSENGERS CANNOT GET OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IN THE BACK, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR OPENS BUT THE ALARM SOUNDS WHEN DRIVING, SO THE MASTER SWITCH IN ON THE FRONT MUST BE IN THE OFF POSITION IN ORDER TO DRIVE. THIS MAKES THE DOOR INOPERABLE UNLESS THE SWITCH IS ON, AND THIS MUST BE DONE MANUALLY EVERY TIME THE DOOR NEEDS TO BE USED, CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD IN AN EMERGENCY. *TR

ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 76,000 MILES IN OCTOBER 2008. HONDA REPLACED TRANSMISSION BUT ONLY PROVIDED 12 MONTH, 12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER ONLY 28,000 MILES AND 33 MONTHS. AT 104,000 MILES, BEGAN NOTICING SHIFTING PROBLEMS ON OR ABOUT JULY 8, 2011. BROUGHT ODYSSEY TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN WHITE PLAINS NY FOR EVALUATION. HONDA DEALERSHIP ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND IT WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR. CLEARLY TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE A LIFE SPAN OF MORE THAN 28,000 MILES. LETTER SENT TO HONDA REQUESTING REPLACEMENT. HONDA MOTORS REFUSED TO COVER REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION. *TR

WE TOOK OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING DUE TO A "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT AND SUBSEQUENT CODE MEANT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED - AGAIN. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TRANSMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. THE LAST TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 84K MILES. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 105K MILES. WE BELIEVE A TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 21K MILES, BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE POWERTRAIN HAS EXPIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS INDICATED THAT IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY IS WIDESPREAD AND WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET, BY THE MANUFACTURER ITSELF AND BY THE THOUSANDS OF DEALERS THAT HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEMS OVER THE YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IT WARRANTS ANOTHER RECALL AND PERMANENT FIX BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS STYLE OF VEHICLE IS USED TO TRANSPORT FAMILIES AND IS NOT USED FOR TOWING OR OFFROAD PURPOSES. HONDA CORPORATION OF AMERICA SHOULD PAY OR REIMBURSE CONSUMERS FOR THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE ON THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

HONDA DEALERSHIP (HOEN HONDA/ POWAY HONDA) KNOWINGLY INSTALLED DEFECTIVE REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS (3 TIMES) ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2001. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ALL THREE TIMES!! THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE DEFECTIVE AND IT IS NOT A MATTER OF IF IT IS A MATTER OF WHEN THEY FAIL. RECENTLY, MY WIFE WAS STRANDED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH HER ELDERLY PARENTS. LUCKILY, SHE GOT OUT OF CAR AND REDIRECTED TRAFFIC. HONDA CHARGED ME $4700 TO REPLACE THEIR DEFECTIVE REBUILT TRANSMISSION. HONDA AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE VERY AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS THEY INSTALL AND ARE NOT WILLING TO STAND-BY THEIR PRODUCTS. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO KINDLY INVESTIGATE THE SAFETY OF THE THE DEFECTIVE REBUILT TRANSMISSION THAT ARE BEING INSTALLED BY HONDA. *KB
