2004 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

I BOUGHT MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH LESS THAN 79K MILES. NOW WITH 107K MILES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LEAKING . *TR

BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE THEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE THE ODYSSEY WOULD CONTINUE IN REVERSE. SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. SHIFTED INTO 2ND GEAR AND THE CAR STATED TO MOVE, SHIFTED AGAIN INTO DRIVE. STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS THE RPM'S WENT FLYING AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION START WORKING WRONG, WHEN THE AC COMPRESSOR STOPS SHOUTS DOWN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM, NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AS WELL THE TCS LIGHT. THE VAN ACCELERATE BY IT SELF AND STOPS REALLY HARD, AND SOMETIMES STAYS IN 2ND GEAR OR 3TH GEAR. PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!! *TR

DROVE THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND PARKED IT...GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND DROVE IT AND NOTICED THE SHIFTER WAS LOOSE. I CHANGE THE ATF EVERY 30,000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED BY HONDA AND USED HONDA ATF. DRAINED AND REPLACED; NOT FLUSHED. TOOK THE CAR TO AN ATRA CERTIFIED SHOP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTER. THE SHOP SAID THAT EITHER THE SPRING ON THE DETENT BALL OR THE PIN HOLDING THE ROOSTER COMB ONTO THE MANUAL SHAFT IS BROKEN. RECOMMENDED THAT I STOP DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERN. RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT WITH REBUILT TRANSMISSION. *TR

MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY EXPERIENCED AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN 2007 WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWNSHIFT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT SPEED WHICH WOULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF VEHICLE WERE BEHIND YOU OR IF YOU WERE DRIVING DOWN A SLICK OR SNOW COVERED ROADWAY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME BY HONDA. ON FEB 6TH THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 35MPH. THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED TO FIRST GEAR AND WOULD NOT UP SHIFT. THE VAN WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ABOVE 20 MPH AND THERE WERE VEHICLES BEHIND OUR VEHICLE WHICH CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION DUE TO THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY DECELERATING. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS, APPROX. 20 TO 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE HAS A SHUDDER/RUMBLE SENSATION THRU THE STEERING WHEEL AND YOU CAN FEEL IT WHETHER YOU ARE DRIVING OR A PASSENGER. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AT SPEEDS OVER 45 TO 50 MPH. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE WAS NEEDED. I PAID $225. FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TRANNY FLUID CHANGE AND A 'DIAGNOSTIC TEST DRIVE' IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME OF THAT REPAIR, I HAVE JUST LIVED WITH THE PROBLEM AND HOPED FOR THE BEST. IT WASN'T UNTIL I STARTED READING ONLINE ABOUT HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ODYSSEY MINIVANS. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME GET THIS PROBLEM SATISFACTORILY REPAIRED FROM HONDA. THEY ARE VERY WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE MINIVANS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BOUGHT THIS MINIVAN USED FROM VAN'S HONDA IN GREEN BAY, WI IN APRIL OF 2007 AND I AM UNAWARE IF MY VAN WAS RECALLED. IT WASN'T RECALLED AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED IT. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND TRANSMISSION THAT IS FAILED, HONDA HAS REFUSE TO PAY ANYTHING. THEY CLAIM THAT THERE TRANSMISSION HAS NO PROBLEM BUT AFTER GOOGLE I FIND THAT THEY HAVE A CLASS ACTION REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I WANT ASSISTANCE IN THIS PROBLEM I WILL NOT AFFORD ANOTHER $ 3000 TO FIX IT. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILED AT ONLY 79000.00 MILES NOW THIS ONE FAILED ONLY 103093 MILES. *TR

TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. NO WARNING SIGNS. ONE SECOND MOVING JUST FINE, NEXT NOTHING. NO POWER.

THREE ENGINE MOUNTS ARE BROKEN ON OUR HONDA ODYSSEY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. WE HAVE HAD AND CURRENTLY HAVE OTHER CARS THAT ARE AND WERE OLDER THAN THIS ODYSSEY AND YET THE MOUNTS REMAINED IN TACT. HONDA CURRENTLY REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A MODEL DEFECT. I HAVE HAD TO SHELL OUT CLOSE TO $1500 TO CORRECT THEIR DEFECTIVE PARTS. I AM APPALLED THAT THEY ARE REFUSING TO RECALL THESE PARTS AND ON TOP ARE CHARGING SUCH HIGH PRICES TO CORRECT IT. *TR

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE YESTERDAY, MY WIFE WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN AND NEEDED REPLACED. THIS SEEMED ODD SINCE IT HAD NOT BEEN OBSERVED DURING PREVIOUS VISITS AND FOR THE MILES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER GOING ON LINE, IT APPEARS THERE ARE MANY OTHERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND THAT THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE WITH HONDA. I ONLY HOPE THAT NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENS TO ANY OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES INCLUDING MINE. *TT
