WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ONCE THE ENGINE REACHES OPERATING TEMPERATURE THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE AND SHIFT GEARS. I MASH THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM GAUGE GOES UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE. I LET THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COOL DOWN AND SOMETIMES IT WILL OPERATE PROPERLY AGAIN UNTIL EVERYTHING WARMS UP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IM SITTING AT A LIGHT OR IN ACTUAL MOTION GOING DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE CEASES TO CONTINUE MOVING. I HAVE BEEN GOING 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOSES ALL MOVEMENT BUT THE CAR IS STILL REVING UP AND I CAN CHANGE GEARS BUT IT STOPS ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS. I CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY TELL ME ITS A VERY COMMON ISSUE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE PINPOINTED

VEHICLE HAS A APPROXIMATELY 140,000 MI. WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH.TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP MALFUNCTIONED AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. HAD TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO EXIT. WHEN SPEED PERMITTED SHIFT DOWN TO WND AND QSTACKS GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP INTO A PARKIN* LOT. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION FACILITY. PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK AND SMELLED THE FLUID WHICH EMITTED A VERY PUNGENT SMELL. THE FLUID WAS NOT BLACK. THE FLUID HAD BEEN CHANGED 15- 20,000 MI EARLIER. WHEN TALKING TO MECHANIC HE TOLD ME ALMOST EXACTLY HOW MANY M8LES HE THOUGHT THE CAR HAD BECAUSE HE HAD SEEN SO MANY HONDA'S WITH EXACTLY THIS SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA DID NOT DESIGN THIS TRANSMISSION PROPERLY TO LAST WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE AND FLUID CHANGES.

I BOUGHT MY 06 ODYSSEY TOURING EDITION IN 2015. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND IT ONLY HAD 115,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD NO PROBLEMS AT FIRST AND THEN SOON AFTER STARTED HAVING A SHUTTERING PROBLEM AROUND 45 MPH. I HAD A SATURN VUE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD THE SAME MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AS MY HONDA. CHEVROLET DID A RECALL ON IT I BROUGHT IT IN THE REPROGRAMMED AND RECALIBRATED IT NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. SO WHEN MY HONDA STARTED I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY SAID NOT ON MY VIN. SO I ASKED HOW MUCH TO REPROGRAM AND RECALIBRATE AND THE TOLD ME THAT IF IT DOES NOT HAVE A NEW UPDATE THEN THEY COULD NOT DO IT (WHICH I KNOW IS BULL SINCE WE OWN A MECHANIC SHOP AND DEAL WITH THINGS LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME). I DO NOT HAVE THE $3000 PLUS TO FIX THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND FEEL IF OTHER VEHICLE WITH SAME TRANSMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RECALLED THEN THIS ONE SHOULD BE TOO!!!

MY ODYSSEY NEEDS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL, AND WILL COST MORE THAN $3,000.00. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT JAPANESE VEHICLES ARE DURABLE, RELIABLE, AND LONG-LASTING, WITH TOYOTA BEING ONE OF THE BEST, BUT HONDA BEING THE BEST OF THE BEST. NOW, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA. I AM HOPING FOR HONDA TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE ODYSSEY. I HAVE 4 FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR OWN ODYSSEYS. AND MY AUTO MECHANIC DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THIS IS A REGULAR AND CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT IS BROUGHT TO HIM BY HIS CUSTOMERS. PLEASE RECALL THE ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION TO RELIEVE US OF THE FINANCIAL BURDEN, AND TO REGAIN OUR CONFIDENCE TO HONDA VEHICLES. THANK YOU. *TR
