2001 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

HONDA ODYSSEY 2001. CHECK ENGINE AND TC LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE ON DRIVING BACK FROM WORK. NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT LED TO ISSUES. TOOK IN TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED. DEALER SERVICE DEPT SAYS TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FOUND SEVERAL WEBSITES DOCUMENTING THIS SAME PROBLEM. HONDA REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ON REPAIR. TOLD ME IT WILL COST $5000. I ENDED UP GOING TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP AND REBUILT FOR $2000. HONDA IS DOING PRITALITY FOR SOME CUSTOMER. IF YOU HAVE YOU VEHICLE SERVICED IN HONDA DEALER THEN THEY CONSIDER GIVING SOME DISCOUNT. WHAT CAME OUT OF THIS IS, OTHER SHOP LIKE FIRESTONE, MINEKY, MERLIN PEOPLE ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL. IF THAT IS TRUE, THEN THOSE SHOPS SHOULD BE CLOSED. WHEN WE BUY CAR, HONDA DOES NOT TELL US TO DO SERVICE ONLY TO THEIR SHOP. *TR

HONDA ODYSSEY LX - 2001 MODEL YEAR I HAD A CHECK ENGINE AND A TCS INDICATOR LIGHT THAT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO AN HONDA AUTHORIZED MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT HELP. EVENTHOUGH THERE IS RECALL WITH THIS ISSUE AND HONDA HAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR REPAIR (LIMITED BY 7 YRS 9 MONTHS OR 109K MILES). INTERNET SEARCH WITH EDMUNDS AND OTHER CONSUME SITES INDICATES THIS PROBLEM IS A WIDESPREAD MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO HELP PAY FOR REPAIR EVEN IF ITS LIMITED. *TR

SUPERLATCH ON MY RADIAN XTSL CAME UNDONE AT SOME POINT BETWEEN BUCKLING MY CHILD IN AND RIGHT AFTER OUR CAR CRASH. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2001, MAKE=HONDA, MODEL=ODYSSEY). *TR

MY FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILED JUST AT 40K MILES. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. WAS IN THE HOV LANE. MANAGED TO GET OFF THE NEARBY EXIT RAMP AND CALLED THE HONDA DEALER. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED IT. ONCE AGAIN AT 107K MILES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD JUST GOT THE SERVICE DONE AND A TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED. IT HAPPENED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THIS SERVICE. STALLED IN THE CENTER LANE IN FRONT OF THE KIDS SCHOOL DURING PEAK DROP OFF TIME. HAD TO CALL AAA TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY GEAR EXCEPT REVERSE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ALSO HAD A OXYGEN SENSOR RECALLED ON THIS ONE. THANK GOD IT WAS ME WHO WAS DROPPING OFF AND WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR OFFICE. I GET SCARED EVEN TO THINK IF MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE ALONE IN THIS ONE. AMERICAN HONDA WAS THE WORST. THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN. THEY SAY WE CANT DO ANYTHING. THEY KEEP REPEATING IT LIKE A BROKEN RECORD. READING OF A SCRIPT. I HAVE PURCHASED A HONDA TWICE. THE FIRST TIME AND THE LAST TIME. STAY AWAY FROM IT.

I HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH A HONDA ODYSSEY WAS REBUILT NOW BROKE AGAIN. *LN
