TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AT 80,000, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SUGGESTED FLUSHING WOULD HELP, NEVER MENTIONED THAT TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A KNOWN AND ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM WITH ODYSSEYS AND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR 2002'S. *TR

I HAVE 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY EX CAR AND SAW A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON MY VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I WENT TO NEARBY HONDA DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY TOLD ME ITS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ALSO ABOUT THE HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION RECALL FOR THIS 2002 MODEL.MY CAR HAD ONLY 82000 MILES ON IT. HONDA REP. TOLD ME IT WILL TAKE $4600 TO FIX THE PROBLEM IN THEIR CONCERN. I HAVE 2 INFANTS AND I AM SCARED TO ACCOMPANY THEM IN THIS CAR BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. ALSO HONDA IS NOT HELPING TO FIX THEIR OWN PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE MINIVAN ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD SLIP OUT OF GEAR (AROUND 2ND OR 3RD GEAR). I HAD TO LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO WAIT FOR IT TO RE-ENGAGE. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME ON 02/02/12 AT WHICH TIME I TOOK IT FOR DIAGNOSIS, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ($4,150) WITHOUT MENTIONING ANYTHING ABOUT THE PREVIOUS RECALL BY HONDA. I THEN CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR, THEY SAID IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2ND GEAR THE DEALERSHIP CAN COMPLETE THE SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SECOND TIME AND FILE A WARRANTY CLAIM. THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T OFFER THIS OPTION CLAIMING THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIFT HARD AS THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIANS ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

MOTOR MOUNTS ARE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND REPLACING THEM IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. THIS 3.5 ENGINE IS TOO POWERFUL FOR THE MOUNTS DESIGNED SO THEY BREAK CAUSING A POSSIBLE SAFETY SITUATION IF THERE IS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ALL ODYSSEYS HAVE THIS MOTOR MOUNT DESIGN. *TR

MY 2002 ODYSSEY HAS A TRANSMISSION THAT SLIPS, WE CORRECTED A PRESSURE SWITCH THAT WAS BAD AND REPLACED WITH A NEW OEM. TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPS AND DOESN'T GIVE OUT ANY CODES. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YRS THAT MY FRONT ENGINE MOUNTS ARE BAD. THE SIDE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE ALSO BAD. I WAS READING THE FORUMS AND LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. I THINK THIS ISSUE IS SAFETY ISSUES. *TR
