2002 HONDA ODYSSEY Complaints

1 - 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY - TRANSMISSION BURNED OUT AT 101,500 MILES 2 - HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN - WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, GET OFF THE EXIT AND HAD A PROBLEM. I KNEW THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT. 3 - TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT - AND STILL TRYING TO GET FULLY FIXED. *TR

TRANSMISSION IN 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY FAILED FOR A 2ND TIME, AND HONDA WON'T CORRECT THE EXACT SAME FAILURE NOW THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

MY CAR STARTED REVVING VERY HIGH AND WITHIN 30 SECONDS, CAME TO A COMPLETE STANDSTILL ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER SAID THERE WERE MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WITH COMPLAINTS THAT OFTEN IT WOULD NOT START. (THE DEALER SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT AND TOLD ME TO USE THE "EMERGENCY KEY" TO START IT). *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED ON MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN WITH 99,000 MILES ON IT. COST WAS ABOUT $5000 TO FIX. *TR

WE HAVE A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 112K MILES ON IT AND THE HONDA DEALER TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS SLIPPING IN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS AND THE CHECK ENGINE CODE IS P0730 (INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE). WE HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED EVERY 30K MILES AND HAD THE FACTORY RECALL (2ND GEAR INSPECTION/INSTALLATION OF OIL JET KIT) PERFORMED AND HAVE NOT DONE ANY TOWING AND HAS BEEN DRIVEN EASILY BY MY WIFE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THE $3,500 QUOTED FOR A REPLACEMENT SINCE THE VAN DOES NOT HAVE MANY MILES, HAS BEEN SERVICED CORRECTLY AND HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED. THIS COULD BE VERY HAZARDOUS TO A DRIVER PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND IS ESPECIALLY DISAPPOINTING SINCE HONDA IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT QUALITY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT PROPERLY SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN REFERENCE TO NHTSA RECALL# 04V176000 ( POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). HE WAS ADVISED THAT HIS VIN NUMBER WAS INVALID AND THAT THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE NUMBER IN THEIR SYSTEM. HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM GERMANY AND IMPORTED IT TO THE USA. HE HAS MADE A CLAIM WITH THE HONDA MANUFACTURE CASE#N012009-12-0100051 RON 800-999-1009 X 117749. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS, WON'T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR, SHIFTS ERRATICALLY. WHEN TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR THE CAR CANNOT GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND BECOMES AN OBSTACLE FOR TRAFFIC WHICH BEGINS HONKING AND PASSING. MERGING SAFELY IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AS THE CAR WILL NOT GO OVER APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES PER HOUR. CANNOT MEET MINIMUM SPEED REQUIREMENT ON SOME HIGHWAYS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT 14 MONTHS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-40 MPH, THE RPM'S BEGAN TO RAPIDLY INCREASE, BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE. ON ONE OCCASION WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 115,000.

O2 HONDA ODYSSEY, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANNY ONCE BACK AT 78K AND NOW THE TRANNY NEEDS REPLACING AGAIN 119K. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND HONDA WON'T DO A DAME THING ABOUT IT. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE AS A RESULT OF THESE TRANY FAILURES. CLASS ACTION SUIT ONLY COVERED UP TO 2001. I COULD GO ON BUT LOOK AT ALL THE FORUMS AND SEE THE CONSISTENT PROBLEMS. *TR

HONDA 2002 ODYSSEY: TRANSMISSION FAIL TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD. RUNNING AT NEURAL WHEN OCCURRED. NEED TO STOP THE CAR, BEGIN FROM THE FIRST.

BROUGHT TO GARAGE AND WAS TOLD MUST REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. NEED IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION. PLEASE CONTACT HONDA AMERICA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR THANKS
