What owners say
I was driving at night. I went to change my headlights from high beams to low beams. All the lights went off. I immediately stopped. The lever on the steering wheel was stuck. I pushed it forward forcefully and the lights came on again. I could not get issues to repeat itself.
Started experiencing bucking and stalling. The "d" light flashed, and multiple lights came on. While driving, the unit will continue to jump, especially on the downshift. Manufacturer lists the transmission as having been replaced, but the mileage is still way low for having had two transmissions. Am looking at installing a rebuilt one. This is too short a time period. After the first round of troubles with this vehicle and the transmission, the replacement should have been bulletproof!
My wife drove this minivan, honda odyssey 2003, and just before entering the interstate freeway the "check engine" light turned on, the transmission became "sleepy" , RPM jumps up to 5000, smog in cabin, all lights on dashboard start blinking and the car just stopped. She panicked because this was during heavy traffic and the situation became dangerous. She slowly drove to her friends' house and left the car overnight. The next day, I checked the diagnostic codes and had p0730 and p0780 (transmission failure). Poway honda dealership, in san diego, ca, was asking for $4,565.00 to replace the bad transmission with a refurbished unit. I am very disappointed with honda's "high" quality product. This vehicle has only traveled 108,000 miles and now requires such a high repair cost. I found one private repair company that will repair this problem somewhat cheaper.
While driving on a highway 65 MPH with my kids in the car, the drivers side automatic sliding door opens all by itself. We had to find a place to pull over and shut the door. The door opens fine but will not latch on and close properly anymore. The interior call lights go on and everything starts beeping and dashboard starts flashing. It is not only very distracting but also very dangerous. The door just won't shut anymore.
I was driving on route 100 at approximately 60 MPH when the engine seemed to lose power. All the warning lights illuminated on my dashboard. I was able to coast to the side of the road. Fortunately, the engine restarted immediately.
