What 2000 Honda Odyssey owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Attempted to clean speed sensor on top of the transmission as removed as stated on the hanes manual for the car but when reinstalling a spacer not mention in the book as necessary for installation fell during removal and as result not installed resulted on the braking of the sensor while driving causing the transmission to totally fail. I am now without car due a simple book error.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 honda odyssey. While driving 60 MPH, the brake, ABS, maintenance, check engine, and battery warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle stalled and the contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle experienced a severe oil leak, slipping transmission, and alternator failure. The contact was informed by an independent mechanic that the oil failure caused the drive belts to slip, which caused a failure in the alternator recharging the battery as intended. 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. The approximate failure mileage was 279,000.

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.
