It will shift hard in all gears. Sometimes won't start, won't move with the transmission shifting issues. If you get in the highway it does it. If you are at low speeds it does it. It's scary when it does it. And dangerous when it happens.

I was driving in motion in a neighborhood and the engine cut off and could barely pull over cause the steering locked up. Before that, I was leaving a gas station and again the engine shut off while in motion.

Van was parked in driveway. I was washing it and opened the hood. Luckily I noticed that the negative battery terminal was almost cut clean through. There were only a couple of copper strands grounding my honda van. I do not want to know what would have happened if it had lost electrical connection while driving!!!

The car slowed down and would not accelerate. The engine lights and other lights came on. The mechanic has informed me that I will need to have the transmission replaced. Again for the 3rd time. And this after having the transmission flushed in february of 2013. The transmission had to be replaced in 2007, 2011 and now 2013. I had to pay out of pocket for the 2011 and now they say for the 2013. There is something wrong with the vehicle that the transmissions are failing so soon. The first two times the vehicle completely stopped in traffic.

During the safety inspection the fairfax honda dealer informed front motor mount cracked and need replacement. Car mileage 85k. A month (2/21/2011) back, I had changed timing belt assembly with the same dealer but they didn't inform about motor mount condition. Yesterday (6/19/2013) the same dealer during the safety inspection service called to inform the van is failing the safety inspection due to rear engine mount crack. Considering the expense and experience about another vehicle diagnosis, I preferred to hold the repair and investigate further. After reading the on-line blogs and cartalk website, it seems the honda odyssey vans has this recurring problem with the engine mount failures. I have owned the van since the year 2000 and maintained regularly through the dealer service all my other honda or acura vehicles. To my amazement many vehicle owners complained similar recurring problem, so I took some time to report. I strongly favor a recall on this major safety part of the most popular family van. Honda seems to ignore our calls and continue use same suspension component. I am prepared to join the group for a class-action law suite for vehicle repair. Already making decision not to own in future honda vehicles if nothing is done about it. Thank you for your support on serious safety recall issue current and future owners will experience.

Transmission slams into gear and the d4 flashes and the tcs light and engine light are on constantly- was told we needed a new transmission. Did research on it and called honda and they said that there are no recalls on this but it had an extended warranty that ended before I purchased it- as I am 2nd owner of vehicle. All other maintenance has been done on time or early I had it a year before the transmission started to do this. The honda dealer tried to talk me into trading it in for a newer model for less payments than I was making on but I own it out right bought from them! They knew something was wrong with transmission and keep selling them!!!!

I noticed that engine oil goes more than a quart low after 2500 miles. In july, before an oil change this was first noticed. But this december, it can be confirmed that oil does go low. I will continuously observe how much the oil goes low per 1000 miles. There are no visible oil leaks around the engine or the oil filter.
