I took my van in to wilde honda on 9/17/14 for a recall on the fuel pump nodule. The day I picked it up, I noticed a very loud sound from my engine. I had a friend drive the car the afternoon of 9/26/14 to see if he could understand what was wrong with it. When he got in to drive it, my check engine light was on, my d light was blinking and the car will not shift out of second gear. Additionally, the transmission fluid smells like it is burning. I have now had a mechanic review it and the transmission has completely failed and I need to have a new one put in.

On my way to work on january 14, 2014, as I was getting up to speed (from 0 to 20), the engine revved around 2000 RPM, the transmission would not engage 2nd gear. I backed off the gas pedal and the transmission engaged. The check engine light lit up and I drove it to a honda dealership. The service department said that their diagnostic revealed an internal issue with the transmission and would need replacement. I have owned 7 hondas since 1983, and I have never had this type of problem. The van is at a local transmission shop rebuilding the transmission for $1500, honda wanted $5300. The van has been well maintained over the years and I'm very surprised that the transmission would go at 141,000 miles, but transmission issues appears to be a problem with the odyssey lineup over the years. Unfortunately, I was not made aware of these issues prior to purchase. Disappointing.
