I purchased honda odyssey several years ago from a third party seller. After driving about 20 k miles I started to notice "jump" in the gears and subsequently the "check engine" light came on. Diagnostics showed it was transmission, my car didn't pass inspection and I got a summons already. I now come to find out that it is a very common problem and someone suggested this website for me to take this case forward.

Minivan started jerky and lost power climbing gentle slope on geary blvd in san francisco. After I frantically moved to the side to prevent being hit by a truck, the "check engine" light came on. When I had a mechanic check the vehicle, I was told the transmission had failed and needs to be replaced.

First incident 5/5 08-transmission was shifting hard and then engine light and tcs light went on. Brought it to honda dealer the ran the code and stated internal trans failure. Since we are the original owners and had all trans service at honda they agreed to split half the cost. I asked what if this should happen again the service rep stated "don't worry about it" it will last at long time. Well here I am again with 45,000 miles later same problem. Brought it to honda and they said "sorry you on your own" 4-5 thousand to replace. That is more than the van is worth. I think it's terrible that honda is aware of transmission problems but refuse to recall or fix them correctly. When the transmission starting slipping on 12/8/12 I was in the middle of traffic and it slipped into neutral without warning. I almost was hit. I couldn't move, the van had no power, just reverted up the 3000 RPM's I was scared. I didn't know what to do. I guess when people start getting killed in car accidents from the defective transmissions from honda maybe something will hopefully be done about it.

Engine light came on. Honda ran diagnostics and said transmission had to be replaced at a cost of $6,400. We did some web research and found that the transmissions in 2000 odysseys have a long history of early malfunction. The technician at the dealer also acknowledged that these transmissions have been a problem and suggested we contact american honda customer service for financial assistance. We contacted american honda, but they said it is not their problem since the vehicle is outside the age portion of the warranty for this problem (8 years) despite being well inside the mileage portion of the extended warranty.

This vehicle has encountered numerous engine and transmission problems since we acquired it in 2006. The transmission failed at just over 100,000 miles. After a huge fight with honda they reluctantly agreed (because it was just outside of the "warranty extension" for this known defect) to pay half the cost of the repair. Check engine lights continued to come on, in addition to other issues, including egr problems, despite replacing the egr, etc. The vehicle is now at approximately 165,000 miles and the transmission has failed again!!

The check engine light was on. There was no other issues. Later checked with the honda dealer service department, I was told the transmission would need to be replaced with $4500. Checked the honda owner link and found out there was a recall on honda's transmission. It extended its warranty on it to 100000 miles/7 years. My car is almost 13 years. I always took my car to honda dealer to service. I was never been told it had a recall. Read on internet about honda odyssey transmission, there were so many many odyssey owners experienced the issue I have now. It was honda's design fault. Called honda of america and filed complain. It was rude and cold.it is true my car was almost 13 years. Told to some mechanics on this issue, they all told me about this issue common among honda cars. I was lucky the car was not die when we were 500 miles away from home.

Start vehicle and engine light comes on, tcs (traction control system) light goes on and car vibrates. This appears to be a well documented problem with honda transmissions. In fact, there's a dedicated website at www.odysseytransmission.com for people who've experienced similar problems or issues. I called honda america this morning and told there was nothing they could do even though am the original owner and this is the second transmission they've put in.
