1999 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT AT 96,000 MILES. HIS TRANSMISSION STARTED TO FAIL WHILE TRYING TO GO INTO GEAR. PH

NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR RECALL # 02V120, IGNITION SWITCH. PLEASE PROVIDE THE DEALERS ADDRESS.

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, 23000 MILES LATER, PROBLEM RECURRED AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. TS

I HAVE A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. THE MANUAL SLIDING DOORS STICK IN WET OR SNOWY WEATHER. SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET THE DOORS OPEN BUT IT TAKES SEVERLA MINUTES. MANYL TIMES I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO OPEN EITHER SLIDING DOOR AND HAVE HAD TO PULL MY KIDS OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO GET THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS TO GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON HONDA ODYSSEYS. MY SISTER HAS A 2000 ODYSSEY AND PULLED THE ENTIRE HANDLE OFF THE DOOR TRYING TO GET THE DOOR OPEN. HONDA HAS 2 SERVICE BULLETINS DETAILING A FIX FOR REPLACING THE WEATHERSTRIPPING BUT THEY WON'T COVER THE COST FOR ME BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT THESE DOORS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ROUGH AT 55K MILES. DEALER FOUND METAL IN TRANS FLUID RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT. TRANSMISSION REPLACED 60K WITH REBUILT UNIT.

PROBLEM WITH SHIFTING ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. ENGINE RACES AND DOES NOT WANT TO GO INTO 3RD GEAR. HAD TRANSMISSION REPAIRED, AND FOUND THAT THE 2ND GEAR CLUTCH PLATES HAD SEVERE PREMATURE WEAR, AND THE CLUTCH PLATES WERE GROOVED (NOT SMOOTH LIKE THE 3RD GEAR CLUTCH PLATES, AND NOT WHAT WAS SHOWN IN THE REPAIR MANUAL). THE REPLACEMENT CLUTCH PLATES WERE SMOOTH, AS SHOWN IN THE REPAIR MANUAL. TS

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP AND TCS LAMP TURNED ON. CODE# P0740 WHICH IS TORQUE CONVERTER WAS THE PROBLEM. TS

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. VERY SLOW TO KICK IN GEAR. HAZARDOUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR ON FAST MOVING HIGHWAY TRAVEL.

THE CONSUMER WAS REAR ENDED AND PUSHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE FRONT SEATS COLLAPSED ALONG WITH THE MIDDLE ROW SEAT BACKS, AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *JB *SCC
