I am the original owner of a 2005 honda odyssey. In 2014, while driving up hill on the grapevine in gorman, ca I hit the gas to accelerate, but nothing happened. The speedometer did not move. It was stuck on 40mps. I tried pushing on the gas, but that did nothing. It was as if the transmission was just not working. I started to loose power as was able to pull over by divine intervention. Thank you aaa for towing me to scott robinsons honda- torrance, ca. After all of this and they said it was a speed sensor that needed to be replaced. The dealership said that is what it was, so that is what it has to be. They never make mistakes. On june 22, 2016 going up hill, and trying to accelerate to pick up speed, the speedometer would not move. Pushing on the gas did nothing. I continued to move until the hill became to steep, and the car just stopped. Starting to roll backwards, I hit the brakes and held on for deal life. Once again aaa had to tow my car to honda. Well, guess what they said this time. You need a new transmission. Yes, that is what they said this 2nd time. At 140k miles, I need a new transmission, and it is going to cost me $6,000. Wft! My 1997 ford windstar is still going strong with 250k miles. I have tried to contact honda, but I am getting nowhere. No return calls, no communication nothing. I will never buy honda anything again.

Bought our 2nd odyssey in may 2014. Used. 153000miles. Took to honda dealer to make sure all service was up to date. Oil and transmission fluid changed. They said everything was good despite a shudder we felt at 40 45 MPH. Driving in july on a 12 hr family trip and we hear a high pitched whine only upon acceleration. The transmission failed. Left us stranded 14 hrs from home. Had to borrow a van from a family member to get all 7 of us home again. The car is now in the shop , needing a $2200. Repair. Not happy with honda!! The 2000 odyssey has had 3 transmissions put in, the 1st tranny was recalled by honda and replaced at no cost @ 80k. The 2nd tranny we paid for and failed at 180k. Thought the 2005 model had the tranny problem fixed. Apparently not! Buyer beware! We will never purchase another honda.

Our 2005 honda odyssey had a transmission failure on the way out of town from georgia to florida over the 4th of july weekend. On wednesday we just had an o2 sensor and recall work (master cylinder & one other issue) completed at a honda dealer in georgia. I then took it down the street to get two new tires put on the vehicle at a tire service center. They checked the vehicle out for travel, gave us the green light and bam! By 6pm the following day the transmission solenoids were both reported failed: p0746 pressure control solenoid "a" performance/stuck off p0777 pressure control solenoid "b" stuck on p0741 torque converter clutch circuit performance/stuck off we hobbled into panama city, where I booked a car rental from the airport. The dealer immediately assessed the issues as a transmission failure. We have returned to atlanta on a 14 day car rental scrambling to find a new car. The quote for replacing the transmission is $3k. This is prohibitive on a 2005. Honda corporation refused a goodwill assistance request. Case number available upon request. At that point I will has spent $3.2k on the car, $400 in car rentals (in georgia while service was being performed, and florida to get home). My guess is if I don't fix the transmission there will be no trade-in value for the vehicle. It's got bumper, interior and fender damage, so there isn't much hope even if I do go forward with the replacement. Also, the alpharetta service center said the transmission fluid looked fine, and honda in pc said it was burnt. There explanation was a part failure in the transmissions burned the fluid. It would have been nice to have an early warning of a catastrophic failure before a 330 mile road trip. *tr updated 02/26/2015

Where do I start....original owner, purchased brand new. No problems for about 3-4 years, and then: transmission whine, took in to dealer off and on for several years, could never identify issue, they said. But as soon as the drivetrain warranty expired, miraculously, they identified it, and now say I need a new transmission. Motor mounts found to have cracked; problem is very common per internet forums, but honda dealership denies responsibility for poor design/faulty mounts. Door for second row has issues sliding; another common problem per internet but not per dealer. And finally, the struts for the rear hatch broke, almost injuring my son very badly when he was putting his bike in the back. Took the car to the dealer and asked about a recall and they said no. I paid $300 4 months ago, and just now found that there was a recall 3 years ago, and they denied it!!!!! I hate honda and will never buy their cars, and do not trust the dealership. Ughhh!!!!

Have had a few problems since purchased van new. First problem around "08 is a vibrating-shuddering felt in steering wheel. At about 35- 45 MPH and just before the "econo" would kick in, I would feel the vibrating start. If I increase my speed quickly and get on up to about 50mph, it would stop. Thought it needed a tune-up..did that-still vibrated. Thought it was transmission-had it flushed-still vibrated. It wasn't a constant problem back in "08, but irritating.now in 2013 it is many times a day and shudders very badly. Took it to honda dealer today about the escalated vibrations. Test drove it and said vibrations were from torque converter and needed to replace transmission.also needed timing belt replaced. I did'nt expect to hear transmission-expected to hear rear motor mount(600.00) needed replacing. I specifically took my van in to check the motor mount.when he said torque converter/transmission I asked him what the motor mounts looked like. He said the tech did'nt mention that .no one likes to hear they are about to inccur some expensive repairs, but I did'nt expect to hear transmission replacement at 170,000 miles.the fellow at the dealership stated that"heck,that is really good for the 2005 odyssey".our nissan truck had over 300,000 miles and our dodge duelly has over 200,000 miles neither with transmission issues.so, this issue still remains unrepaired-waiting on estimate from dealership. Yikes! The passenger sliding door has not operated correctly for 3-4 years now. It does'nt close all the way. If you open the sliding door,when you close it itwill beep like its not closed.you have to get out and manually slam it shut. They said it may be the motor...too much to fix it..so we just don't use it.recently while pulling into parking spaces,I hear a whinning sound and steering is more difficult.

This is a new car purchased and serviced by the dealer from the date of delivery (12/28/04). The honda service dept did not discover the transmission problems until it malfunctioned. This is very unusual. I have all the service documents to prove it. The honda service department would like me to replace the transmission at my own expense. Their negligence caused this auto transmission failure. The consumer stated a malfunction indicator light illuminated on the dashboard. The dealer stated it was a wiring problem and fixed it. However, three days later, the light illuminated again and the vehicle would not move when it was put in drive and therefore it had to be towed. Later in the day, the consumer received a call from the dealer stating the transmission needed to be replaced. Updated 09/12/12
