1. No significant events leading up to failure. Check engine light turned on. We are easy careful drivers. However, we found out when dealership service places "flush" the transmission fluid on cars built by honda during this time, it flushes metal parts down to the transmission causing the transmission to fail and needing full replacement. 2. Transmission on 2000 honda odyssey needs to be replaced. Had we ignored engine light, we might of had car fail in the middle of the road. 3. $3000 later, getting it replaced.

2000 honda odyssey. Consumer writes to express continuing problem and lack of customer service from honda motor corporation regarding multiple transmission failures *tgw the consumer stated the vehicle needs a 5th transmission.
We have a 2000 honda odyssey. Honda replaced the transmission under recall at about 68,0000 miles, and it was replaced before we noticed any problems with it. We were outside the 3 year warranty they had given us on the replacement when we starting noticing the transmission slip. They refused to replace it under warranty when we took it in, telling us repair cost would be $4500. At about 130,0000 miles, the replaced transmission actually failed while we were driving on a trip out of town. After it failed, we paid someone else to repair it, causing us over 3500 in towing, repair and rental car costs. We were stranded on the side of a road with a family of 4 in the 105 degree texas heat until we were able to get assistance.
Had transmission completely replaced on 2007 because it had gone south. Now 2 years later the replacement is doing the exact same thing. They offered 50% as apparently the "new" transmission had all of a one year warranty on it. The original replacement was no charge, but says nothing at all about warranty on the paperwork. Only when we took it back to the dealer did we find out apparently it was a one year warranty. The guy at the service counter told me "if a customer pays any money for the replacement, it is a 3 year/36000 mile warrant. If it's free, it's a one year warranty". Talked to the 800‑999‑1009 number and the phone rep, while polite, was defensive and avoided honda taking any responsibility for the problem. Said 50% was "more than fair" and "above and beyond their responsibility", even though this was a new transmission that had crapped out after just 2 years.
I own a 2000 honda odyssey. I am sure you are familiar with their known transmission issues. Honda is well aware of this problem, and without a recall, decided to simply extend the warranty from 5yrs to 7yrs, knowing that most people would run into problems after the 7yr mark, my engine light came on at the 6yr mark. I have always taken the vehicle to the honda dealership for service. As the engine light was on, I was told to just ignore it, as it must have come on after filling up gas, and not to worry, as it will go off automatically. Finally I told them to check the codes, and now they tell me it needs a new transmission, but to continue driving it, as just because the light is on, the transmission is not "dead" and to continue driving until I notice any problems. Well, after a 4hr road trip, the engine light and tcs light came on, and I didn't realize the extent of the problem, until I stopped and had to make a lt hand turn. As I stepped on the gas to enter the intersection, the van hesitated, and then jerked forward. Had the delay been any longer, my family and myself would have been in a serious accident. I replaced the transmission at honda, and now 18months later, it needs to be replaced again. Honda is well aware of this transmission issue, and should be responsible for repairing this problem once and for all. Why keep replacing a transmission knowing it will only last another under 2yrs. My only option is to sell this van, but it's not fare to the next unfortunate person. This is a serious safety hazard.
There has been multiple transmission problems with the 2000 honda odyssey and after a repair in 5/2007, honda refuses to stand behind any warranty. This issue has been ongoing since the car was new.
Honda odyssey 2000 transmission issue replaced at 60,000 miles and now issues at 99,000 honda said they would cover 10% no more they installed another bad transmission I should pay for their mistake I think not the dealer is on my side and agrees that honda installed the same bad transmission a 2nd time. That does not seam to be correct thing to do. Help!
2000 honda oddessy transmission failed at 85,000 miles replaced transmisson cost me almost 4 thousand dollars and 2 yrs later transmission is needs to be replaced again. I called honda and they say its not under warranty. Tcs light goes on and off when driving paid for many repairs with no success.
Transmission slippage at 100,000 miles even though regular services done on the car.
2000 honda odyssey transmission failure, approximately the 3rd failure since purchased in 2005 or early 2006. When the transmission fails, the van does not move at all and without warning. My wife and children were once stranded in a busy intersection when god intervened and gave her just enough power to get to the side of the road where she was towed from. January 2nd at 2am the tranny went out on highway 80 and my wife thought the engine was on fire. It was the tranny. And my 4 youngest children was with her.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda odyssey. The transmission would not shift into the second gear. The transmission was repaired in april of 2005 for an identical failure. The manufacturer was notified and a representative stated that the transmission could be rebuilt at an expense of $2500.00. The failure mileage was 67,100.
We bought a used honda odyssey 2000 van with only 60,000 miles. The previous owner took meticulous care of the van and had it maintained regularly which is why we were surprised at 67,000 miles the transmission gave out. I was driving on a major highway when the gears started slipping. I was in a 50 mile per hour zone when the gears wouldn't shift and I was stuck in third gear. This was extremely dangerous and could have LED to a serious crash. Luckily, I was able to get the van to the side of the road to a very narrow shoulder. When I researched this, I found that numerous people have had transmission issues with honda vans. We inquired about getting it fixed under warranty but were told that we were outside of the 93 month parameter. The problem is that the previous owner had no issues with the transmission and therefore did not need to change the transmission under warranty (service bulletin 02-062). We will now have to pay $3500 for a transmission that should be recalled and should be replaced no matter the time frame. If it is a faulty transmission, they should be held accountable for this product. This situation could have been a lot worse had I lived in a big city and experienced these problems on a freeway. Something needs to be done!!!
Honda 2000 odyssey lx irregular transmission failure.
This is the 2nd transmission failure on my 2000 odyssey, it was suddenly slow down while driving on a 65 MPH highway as the transmission slipped and shifted down gears. The check engine and tcs lights are on. The failure code was read as p0740 in a dealership. This is a very common problem and the car may suddenly slow down or speed up or complete stop in the traffic without any prediction from the driver. It's not only very dangerous to odyssey driver and passengers but also to the other cars on the road. My 2000 odyssey got 2 transmissions failed already. I don't have confidence on the 3rd one. In the federal safety agency safety complaint data base you have so many similar reports already. The federal safety agency cannot allow this situation continues and so many dangerous odyssey vans running with dangerous transmissions. Honda once recalled some model years odyssey but not all problematic years. Why this happened? On the internet car communities like edmound.com and odyclub.com, many customers are experiencing this dangerous now. It may be the high mileages of the cars LED to high rate of failures. Honda should recall and fix this safety issue before any real fatal accident happens.
I drive a 2000 honda odyssey ex. It has 79,000 mi on it. It jogs when I put it into reverse from drive. And it slips when driving , from 1st gear going into 2nd. And jogs when pushing accelerator. It is dangerous because it will slip when driving down highway. The dealer will not look into, without charging outrageous amount because our warranty is lng over. We had a local mechanic do work , but problem is not solved. Honda is having many problems with transmissions, we should not be having any problems at only 79,000 miles.
Auto transmission lagging or rough; otherwise, only p0740 torque converter clutch circuit malfunction obd indication. Dealer replaced transmission for $2000. Vehicle, 2000 honda odyssey ex , has only 88,700 mi.
2000 honda odyssey. Original owner. 149000 miles, 2nd transmission failure. Known problem honda will not replace/ correct.
I'm writing to you to inform you about the serious issue with the transmission that was originally put into honda odyssey's from 2000-2003. First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is hoang pham and my family owns an automotive repair shop in arlington, va and have always been loyal customers to american honda and their vehicles, always have recommended their product to customers looking to purchase new vehicles since we were very pleased with their products. I've always known about this issue with their transmissions and how they have according to them "known defects in materials and worksmanship." I am writing to you now to let you know that these vehicles are potentially dangerous driving around without getting repaired and having the "updated" transmission installed, my vehicle now sits with only 79000 miles on the odometer and honda refuses to take care of any issues, I obviously can repair this vehicle myself but find it hard to pay for something that a manufacturer acknowledges as a defect. I understand that they have had a 109,000 miles or 7 years and 9 months warranty extension on it but I believe that is not enough. People will be seriously injured or killed if this is not taken care of properly, luckily for me my transmission failed in a parking lot and not at highway speed going 60-65 miles per hour.
Transmission failure on 2000 honda odyssey. While driving on a highway transmission started to behave erratically, shifting between gears. Check engine light ant tsc sensor lights went on. The vehicle had to be towed and the dealership confirmed "internal transmission failure".
I own a 2000 honda odyssey minivan. My wife (51 yrs old) was driving it on rt 1 in new jersey and when the traffic light turned green the engine revved but wouldn't move and then all of a sudden it started moving. This happened 2 times. It also now shifts gears from 1st to @nd gear at 3000 RPM's.I took the van to my mechanic and he put the obdii code reader on the car and got a p1740 code which means the transmission is failed. The van has 93,000 miles on it. I called american honda about this and they did a search on my VIN # and told me the transmission was changed ar 53,540 miles at huntington honda in huntington, long island, ny, so the 2nd transmission only lasted 40,000miles. The dealer wants 3000.00 dollars for a remanufactured transmission with a 1 year 12,000 miles warranty. I don't trust car dealers so I'm letting my honda mechanic do it(he has been fixing honda for 25 years). Reading many honda odyssey forums on line apparently there's a design flaw and honda is well aware of it as your organization is probably aware as well. Just a footnote to say I take great care of my vehicles, especially the one my wife and 2 kids are riding in!!!!!
Transmission started slipping - took it to dealer to have checked and services. They changed fluid, filters etc. The problem was worse after they did that.
2000 honda odyssey transmission is slipping with 166,900 miles on it.
2000 honda odyssey transmission defective.
I have a problem with honda odyssey transmission, then took it to the dealer to be replace and they said that I have to pay out of pocket. I believe that there are many people out there have the same problem as I do. I feel it is not safe for me while I am driving, especially I use freeways and highways up to 95%. Think about what happen to the transmission when it starts breaking apart and fell of on the highways or freeways... That is a really big problem.
Another 2000 honda odyssey p0740 transmission failure. Honda has previously recalled known transmission defects in 2002 and 2003 models. Can't understand why 2000 models only got an warranty extension. (un)luckily, my transmission lasted long enough to pass the extended mileage limit. Honda should recall the 2000 transmissions as they did with other models.
2000 honda odyssey coil spring failure on drivers side and transmission failure.
