I was driving on a 4 lane highway and came to a intersection with traffic lights. In my lane and direction I was traveling, the traffic light turn red, which implies my vehicle to stop. I stopped. When the traffic light turn green, which implies my vehicle to move forward, my vehicle would not pull forward. After a few minutes, the vehicle, with sounds and feel of transmission problems, slipping and at times not moving. I barely made it to a safe place , a near store parking lot, to get my vehicle out of danger of a busy highway intersection. I had to be towed to a friend's home some 40 miles from the vehicle occurring problem of not operating in a safe manner. The vehicle has not ran since. If you put in reverse or drive, the vehicle will not move period. The vehicle is and has remained in my yard at my resident.

When driving the van, the transmission starts slipping, then we would have to pull over and let the car cool down after 10 - 15 minutes. Had to pull over three times to cool down, on third time pulling over, van would not move in reverse or drive.

My car, 2001 honda odyssey, with 110,000 miles has transmission problems. The dashboard indicators for the traction control system (tcs), engine, and gear (drive sign) were all flashing. The car's gears seem to be slipping when the car is cold or on idle too much. I had a non-honda mechanic look at it and he told me it was the transmission with a repair cost of $2400. It does not seem right that honda does not take legal responsibility for the transmission.

For the third time since we owned the vehicle the transmission has been slipping and the vehicle again isn't drivable. This is an ongoing problem with this y/m/m with many complaints. The federal safety agency and honda need to do a recall. I was driving when the transmission failed and was lucky to not have had any cars around me. This needs to be addressed with a recall and replacement by honda. We're the original owners and honda is aware of the problem as is the federal safety agency but no major action has been taken to recall. This is a safety issue.

The transmission has begun slipping. There is no open recall even though honda has acknowledged a problem with the transmission. I have had to pull over several times to let transmission cool off before continuing to my destination. Took it back to dw auto where I purchased said vehicle. They will not accept for trade in because honda odyssey has bad transmissions.

I was on my way to work and came to a complete stop at a red stop light. The light had turned green and I proceeded to go and pushed the gas, the vehicle would not move. I turned the van off and on by the ignition a few times thinking it was something other than a transmission gear issue. I sat there for a few minutes after turning the vehicle off and turned it back on, it caught gear so I proceeded towards work. Luckily I was only a half block from my job. As I was pulling in the transmission had slipped again and I barely coasted into a parking space. I had the van towed to a transmission specialist and they flushed the transmission, reset the system and told me that I was going to need to have it rebuilt. The transmission shop told me that this particular vehicle has these issues and it has been a recurring issue with this make and model.

2001 honda odyssey. Consumer writes in regards to transmission problems. *smd the appeared to be a minimal amount of sporadic transmission slippage between the 1st and 2nd gear. The dealer stated the slipping was normal, because it meant the transmission needed to be serviced. The dealer stated the fluid replacement, would take care of the slipping problem. The vehicle exhibited the same problem 20,000 miles later, except to a greater degree. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where they stated, the transmission was a concern, and the warranty was extended to cover a possible failure. The dealer stated it should have been addressed when the vehicle was in for service previously. However, it wasn't and the warranty had since expired.

On 4th of july 2014 - (invoice of $4000 on independence day) - was driving from family wedding events and suddenly feeling drive shift and slipping gears issue. I had to slow down to avoid accidents from this honda's faulty transmission it is major safety issue can lock up front wheels on highway and can create major accident... Now need to do replacement/rebuilt of power train (transmission) to fix following issue " flared 1-2 and 2-3 shifts, long park to reverse or park to drive engagement times, or in extreme cases no takeoff in forward or reverse after start up." also engine light and tcs lights stay on... Because of honda's faulty power train I got to come up with $4000-$4500 to make my family and other people on road safe...

The automatic transmission began slipping at around 25 MPH with d3 flashing and tcs light indicator on. The van began loosing power while driving and revolution high in the power train. This is the rebuild transmission I replaced in november 19, 2010. So it has been more than 3 years and the warranty from honda manufacture has expired.

I bought my preowned 2001 honda odyssey within the first 20 days I could feel the tranny slipping sometimes. So I call the dealer and he said sold as is. I brought it to a mechanic shop around the block from my work. They hooked it up to a scanner and they told me the problem was "a lock up solenoid for the torque converter." basically said too bad your out of luck. I am done with honda. I should have done my usual and researched before buying and I never would have purchased an odyssey. I figured it was a honda so what could the worst be? All others I have owned ran great with very few problems. I just brought this van not know honda had bad trans. Problem I need help with this case some body help me.
