JUST BOUGHT A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY. RIGHT OFF THE LOT GOT ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED SHUTTERING AND SLIPPING . VERY UNHAPPY , SLAPPED DOWN $4000 AS A DOWN PAYMENT AND FINANCED THE REST. NOW I OWN A VAN THAT HAS MAJOR PROBLEMS AND NO CASH TO FIX IT. HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT FOR A DAY AND IT ALREADY HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NEED HONDA TO FIX IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEIR IMPECCABLE REPUTATION IS GETTING DESTROYED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT ALL ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE HAVING WITH MODELS 2005- 2009 . THEY CHARGE A PREMIUM FOR THEIR VEHICLES AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE ON VEHICLES. OUR GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP IN AND HELP ITS CITIZENS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WE ARE ORIG OWNER OF VEHICLE. IN 4/11 HAD VAN SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP. IN 5/11 WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP. NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. CALLED HONDA (WHILE IT WAS BEING SERVICED A TRANNY SHOP) AND THEY SAID IF I TOWED IT TO A DEALERSHIP THEY'D TAKE A LOOK AND DOUBTED ANYTHING COULD BE DONE, BUT THEY'D LOOK. AT THAT POINT I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY REPAIR SHOP FOR WORK ALREADY DONE (NEAR 1000). I SEE A RECALL IN THE NEWS FOR 2005+ ODYSSEYS BUT HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY HONDA PERSONALLY. WE WOULD LIKE REIMBURSEMENT FOR FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT IS A RECURRENT THEME ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET WITH THESE VEHICLES. *KB

BOTH TAILGATE STRUTS 74820-SHJ-A01 FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY CAUSING THE GATE TO CLOSE WHILE OCCUPANTS WERE UNDER THE GATE. NOT SURE YET IF ANYONE IS INJURED. HONDA INFORMED ME THAT MY MODEL WAS NOT ONE OF THE AFFECTED MODELS, THEREFORE I AM NOT COVERED BY A RECALL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
