THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SECOND HAND IN 2012 AND IMMEDIATELY NEEDED TO HAVE ITS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A COST OF $3,000. EVEN NOW THERE IS OCCASIONAL SLIPAGE OF THE NEW TRANSMISSION, WHICH INDICATES TO ME IT MAY NOT BE LONG FOR THIS WORLD. IT'S PAINFULLY OBVIOUS HONDA BUILT AND INSTALLED SUP PAR TRANSMISSIONS FOR MANY YEARS, DESPITE MOUNTAINS OF COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS. THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN TO TASK FOR POOR DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE OIL LEAK. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT (STOCKTON HONDA, 2002 E HAMMER LN, STOCKTON, CA 95210, (844) 237-1845), BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

MY 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS SLAMMING INTO 2ND TILL IT STARTED SLIPPING. I PUT IN A USED SOLENOID....BUT IT STILL SLIPS IN 2ND AND ANOTHER SYMPTOM IS TCS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER 5 MIN OR SO DRIVING. [ I CAN MAKE IT GO INTO 2ND IF I REV IT OUT TO ABOUT 25-3000 RPM IN FIRST GEAR AND BACK OFF THE ACCELERATOR FAST AS IT IS GOING IN TO 2ND THEN IT GOES INTO GEAR.] SO I TRIED PUTTING IN A NEW DUAL LINEAR SOLENOID - HAD SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT BUT STILL SLIPS IN 2ND GEAR OR WILL NOT GO INTO 2ND GEAR WITHOUT BACKING OFF ACCELERATOR. I ALSO CHECKED THE OTHER SOLENOIDS WHICH SEEM OK.

WE HAD THIS VAN, AND THREE TIME TRANSMISSION BLEW FIRST TIME IT BLEW AT 50,000 MILE, SECOND TIME IT BLEW AT 70000 AND THIRD TIME IT BLEW AT 112000 MILE, AND WE ARE NOT GETTING GOOD RESPONSE FROM HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. FIRST TIME WHEN IT BLEW, I CALL THEM THEY SAID YOU PASSED THE NUMBER OF YEARS SO WE ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT FREE, I END UP PAYING FROM MY POCKET. I GOT NEW TRANSMISSION FORM HONDA, SECOND TIME WHEN IT BLEW THAT TIME IT IS ONLY 20,000 MILE, WHEN I WENT TO DEALER, THEY SAID THEY COVER ONLY 1 YEAR 12,000 WARRANTY, I END UP PAYING FROM MY POCKET, NOW THIS THIRD TIME IT BLEW UP, IF I AM NOT PROPER RESPONSE THEN I NEED TO THINK IN FUTURE, I MIGHT GO WITH DIFFERENT MANUFACTURE. ELECTRICAL PANEL IS ALSO NOT WORKING. IF HONDA MAKING THIS KIND OF CAR/VAN AND THIS KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEN I NEED TO THINK IN FUTURE, I MIGHT GO WITH DIFFERENT MANUFACTURE.

I BROUGHT THIS VAN AT 90,000 MILLES, I REALLY TAKE CARE OF THIS VAN. THE WAS BROKEN THE TRANSMISSION AT 107,000 HONDA FIXED, AGAIN 127,000 AND I HAVE TO PAY TO FIX IT, AGAIN AT 163,000 AND HONDA FIXED, BUT I HAVE TO PAY AROUND 400.00 FOR SOME EXTRAS THEY REQUEST, AND NOW AGAIN AT 193,000. HONDA REFUSED TO FIX IT, THEN I SPOKE TO THE PEOPLE IN THE MAIN OFFICE IN TORRANCE AND ALSO MY CASE WAS DENIED.I DONT KNOW ANY ABOUT THE PREVIOUS 90,000 MILLES BECAUSE WAS UNDER OTHER OWNER. FOR SURE HAPPEN BEFORE. I ALWAYS FIX EVERYTHING ON TIME, AND REALLY CARE ABOUT THIS VAN. YOU THINK IT IS FEAR TO BE FIXING THIS HONDA EVERY ALMOST 30,000 MILLES, NOT RELIABLE, NOT GOOD, PIECE OF JONK VAN? THIS IS WHAT I RECALL, BUT MOST IS ACCURATE.

1. BAD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAUSING VAN TO SPEED FORWARD BY ITSELF.VAN CONSTITUTE DANGER TO US AND OTHER ROAD USERS. 2. IN THE NHTSA RECORD, THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE WHEREAS HONDA (MANUFACTURER) HAS RECALL FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPEN FOR THIS VEHICLE.

VEHICLE HAS HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT DATES: OCTOBER 2002 - FEBRUARY 2003 - APRIL 2005 - JUNE 2008 - PRESENTLY AT HONDA DEALERSHIP REQUIRING A 5TH TRANSMISSION - IT HAS GONE ONLY 42,000 SINCE THE 2008 TRANSMISSION WAS INSTALLED. HONDA REFUSES TO HELP OR SEE THAT THERE IS A BIGGER ISSUE HERE. I AM ASKING THAT THEY REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION AT THEIR EXPENSE. DURING THE 2008 TRANSMISSION FAILURE, THE VEHICLE LOCKED UP COMPLETELY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS OUR GOOD FORTUNE TO HAVE GOTTEN TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HONDA REPLACED TRANSMISSION UNDER CLASS ACTION EXTENDED WARRANTY IN 2009, BUT I HAD TO PAY $1,200. NOW IN OCTOBER 2013, AND JUST 46,000 MILES LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AGAIN. HONDA IS REFUSING TO HELP WITH IT CITING THAT THE "VEHICLE IS TOO OLD." MY RESPONSE TO THEM WAS, IF THE REPAIR IN 2009 WAS DONE CORRECTLY THEN I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM TODAY REGARDLESS OF HOW OLD OR HOW MANY MILES THE VEHICLE HAS. HONDA IS WASHING THEIR HANDS OF ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND ANY REPAIR NOW IS 100% MINE, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY COSTS AS MUCH AS THE VEHICLE MIGHT BE WORTH. THAT IS NOT RIGHT THAT HONDA TEASED SO MANY CUSTOMERS IN TO THINKING THEY WERE GETTING A SOLID REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY ONLY TO FIND OUT IT LASTS JUST LONG ENOUGH SO THEY CAN AVOID FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY. NOT COOL HONDA! OUR CHILDREN ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW AS THEY AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD LOCK UP ON THEM AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CAN'T SAY I BLAME THEM. I EXPECTED MORE FROM HONDA. *TR

- MY HONDA ODYSSEY 2000 GOT THE 1ST TRANSMISSION BREAKDOWN AT 106K MILES IN 7/2009. HONDA AGREED TO PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR COST AND I PAID HALF (~$2000) TO REPLACE A NEW REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FR HONDA. - THE 2ND TRANSMISSION LAST ME ANOTHER 34K MILES (4 YEARS) AND IT SUDDENLY BROKE DOWN YESTERDAY. - I LOSE TRUST IN HONDA. NOT SURE IF HONDA STILL CONTINUE HONOR THEIR WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION WITH THEY CLAIMED THEY HAVE FIX THE ISSUE ON THE REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. *TR

HAD HONDA DEALER REPAIR ISSUE. WE WERE OFFERED A DISCOUNT THRU CUSTOMER RELATIONS. NOW IN 2013 WITH ABOUT 194,000 MILES TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO GO. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. TWO TRANSMISSIONS GO BAD IN 13 YEARS. HONDA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR LOUSY PRODUCT. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE INVESTMENT. *TR
