I OWN A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN 2006 THAT ENDED IN THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD 53,000 MILES ON IT. LAST WEEK (1/3/11), THE 2ND TRANSMISSION FAILED. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ACCELERATING UP A HILL WHEN I LOST ALL FORWARD GEARS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK. ALL OF MY FORWARD GEARS WERE GONE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THRU REMAINDER OF THE WAY IN REVERSE. I HAVE 95,000 ON THE VEHICLE. AMERICAN HONDA CORPORATION WILL TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR WRECK IF I HAD BEEN ATTEMPTING A MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THIS AND WANT NHTSA TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST HONDA. THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OF 2006 DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE WITH MY WIFE AND OUR 5 CHILDREN AT A STEADY SPEED OF 60 MPH, THERE WAS A SNAP/JERKING MOTION FELT AND SLIGHT RUBBER SMELL AND THE VAN IMMEDIATELY LOST ACCELERATION.

THIS IS THE SECOND TRANSMISSION NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN OUR 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT DO SO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED FOR THE LAST REPLACEMENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO ADVISE OF RECOURSE OPTIONS I HAVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

WE ARE A ASIAN ONLY AUTO REPAIR SHOP. WE HAVE SEEN THE FOLLOWING FAILURE, SIX OR SEVEN TIMES. ON HONDA ODYSSEY VEHICLES, THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE EATING AWAY & DESTROYING THE INNER BEAD OF THE TIRES. THREE OF OUR EMPLOYEES AND ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS. THE LATEST ONE JUST HAPPENED THIS WEEKEND, AND THE WIFE OF OUR EMPLOYEE HAD AN ABRUPT PRESSURE LOSS ON THE FRT TIRE AT 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THIS SCENARIO CAN & EVENTUALLY WILL RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH. PLEASE FOLLOW THIS UP. YOU MAY CONTACT ME IF NEEDED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH DIFFERENT BRANDS OF TIRES, SO IT MUST BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE VEHICLE, RATHER THAN THE TIRE. *TR

THERE WAS NO TIRE DAMAGE. DO NOT KNOW HOW WHEELS BECAME CRACKED. DO NOT KNOW OF ANY IMPACT DAMAGE THAT MAY OF CAUSED SUCH A PROBLEM. THE TIRES SHOW NO SIGNS OF ANY SIGNIFIVANT IMPACT. DEALER AND HONDA AMERICA CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO RE-IMBURSE ME FOR WHEELS, AND ALSO DECLINED TO AT LEAST INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH QUALITY OF THE WHEELS. I STILL HAVE BOTH WHEELS IF YOU NEED THEM TO BE LOOKED AT. I OBVIOUSLY HAD TO REPLACE THEM. I REPLACED THEM WHEN I NOTICED THE TIRES ON THOSE WHEELS LOOSING AIR. I GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. *AK

HONDA MOTOR CO. (HONDA) SOLD ME AND EQUIPMENT WITH A NEW VEHICLE, THAT IF USED AS SUCH, WILL DAMAGE THE VEHICLE AND WILL CONSTITUTE HAZARD TO OTHERS DRIVING ON THE ROAD. HONDA SOLD ODYSSEY - EX MINIVAN ALONG WITH A STANDARD PACKAGE THAT CONTAINED A ROOF RACK / CARRIER AMONG OTHER PERIPHERALS. I TRIED USING THE ROOF RACK / CARRIER AS PROVIDED WITH THE VEHICLE ON AUGUST 15, 2001, THE LOAD THAT I CARIED ON THE ROOF SLIPPED AND ALMOST FELL OFF THE VEHICLE INSPISTE OF MY BEST EFFORT IN TYING THE LOAD ON THE SET OF TWIN RACKS PROVIDED WITH THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY, DUE TO THE SOFT UNDERNEATH OF THE LOAD THE VEHICLE ROOF WAS NOT DAMAGED DUE TO THE LOAD SLIDING OFF THE ROOF. I CONTACTED HONDA TO FIND OUT HOW BEST TO USE THE CARRIER RACK PROIVDED WITH THE VEHICLE. HONDA REPRESENTATIVE VERBALLY INFORMED ME THAT THE ROOF CARRIER / RACK AS ORIGINALLY PROVIDED WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY - EX MINIVAN CAN NOT BE USED, BUT HONDA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BASICALLY, MY COMPLAIN IS THAT HONDA SOLD ME AN EQUIPEMENT WITH THE NEW VEHICLE THAT IF USED AS SUCH WILL DAMAGE THE VEHICLE, THE LOAD WILL MOST LIKELY FALL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR OTHER DRIVING ON THE ROAD.

THE ROOF RACK CROSSBARS SOLD BY HONDA FOR THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR USE WITH CARGO BOXES. THIS IS WHAT MANY PEOPLE ATTACH TO THEM. THERE IS NO WARNING ON THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OR OWNERS MANUAL WARNING AGAINST USE FOR THIS PURPOSE. HONDA ADMITTED THE CROSSBARS MIGHT NOT WITHSTAND LIFT FORCES FROM THE BOX AND THE CROSSBARS COULD SEPARATE FROM THE SIDE RAILS AND DAMAGE THE VEHICLE OR VEHICLES FOLLOWING IT. HONDA SAID THEY WOULD OFFER NO REMEDY, WARNING OR SOLUTIONS. SOME OF THE MAJOR CARGO BOX MANUFACTURERS ARE AWARE OF THE CROSSBARS SHORTCOMINGS AND WILL NOT WARRANT THEIR BOXES OR ACCEPT LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE SEPARATION OF THE CROSSBARS, HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT ALWAYS DIVULGED BY THE SALEPERSONS AND WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT BE KNOWN IF BUYING A USED BOX. PLEASE MAKE HONDA SEND A WARING TO ALL PURCHASERS OF THE CROSSBARS AND INCLUDE THE WARNING IN THEIR OWNERS MANUALS ,ADVERTISING LITEREATURE AND INSTALLATION/USE INSTRUCTIONS. THANK YOU. ALBERT S.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
