Engine light and tcs light came on, gears stopped shifting at high rpms. Soon, transmission would not engage at all. Car failed to move on a busy freeway overpass exit. After several minutes with the engine off, I turned it back on and hobbled in first gear off the overpass. Mechanic said it was typical of 2004 odysseys to have transmissions fail. Cost of repair far exceeds blue book value of car.

Driving 2004 odyssey (140k miles) down I-95 in richmond (from nova) and started losing power (dropping speed with increasing rpms). Bad smell and smoke out the back LED me to believe it was my catalytic converter. Check engine light never came on. Found a shop that replaced the cc. While replacing they noticed lots of oil under my vehicle. Turns out it was transmission fluid. The shop topped off the transmission fluid (4 qts), let it run for a while, didn't see a leak, and I drove off the lot. I noticed the check engine light was still on so I returned to the auto shop. They were having trouble erasing the error code so the light would go off so they recommended I have it fixed when I returned home. I was on my way to a north carolina beach with no other problems encountered (albeit a check engine light still lit). Local driving at the beach at low speeds (below 40 MPH) caused no issues. The following week on my way from the nc beach to nova, the tcs light was now lit (in addition to the check engine light). Within a few miles I encountered a similar situation while heading north on I-95 (as I did the week before while heading south on I-95) though not as severe (slight drop in speed with increasing rpms, bad smell with smoke out the back of the vehicle). I found out the next day about the honda odyssey transmission problem. Sounds like I was lucky to get 140k out of it, though not happy to hear about the lack of responsibility taken by honda. My wife and I have been loyal honda customers since 1984 with 4 vehicles purchased. No more.

As I was driving the car, the engine over revved but the wheels were not moving. I was on city streets making a turn - luckily I was able to coast to the side of the road without any incident but it could have been dangerous as the gears were not engaging. After I navigated to the side of the road, the car wouldn't move forward or backward on being put in gear. There was a smell of burning rubber - later I realized it was probably burning or overheated transmission fluid. On towing the car to the dealer, the dealer ran diagnostics and advised me that my transmission was damaged and needed replacement. For the past couple of days, the 'check engine light" and the "tcs off light" had been coming on and off occasionally. I had also noticed the vehicle not responding to accelerator pedal being pressed in a normal fashion.

Check engine light and tcs light came on while driving the van at highway speeds. The transmission shifts smoothly and sounds fine, but the repair shop pulled a code of p0740--tc clutch failure. The transmission is failing, and this is apparently a common problem with honda odysseys. While our transmission lasted longer than many odysseys' do, I think that transmission failure at 119k is unacceptable.
