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.

My odyssey lost power/wouldn't accelerate/wouldn't shift as we approached the top of a 7% grade. We pulled over, shut the car off and checked fluids etc.. Everything was fine. We tried to get going again and the van wouldn't go. We sat for about an hour and tried again, and the van got going again perfectly fine. We were able to get to honda when it broke down again. Honda diagnosed it with a bad transmission/torque converter. The atf fluid was burnt (my odyssey has the atf fluid cooler too). The tech said the vcm (eco mode, variable cylinder management) increases the load/stress on the vehicle and is a contributing factor of the break down. My odyssey has been meticulously maintained at honda y honda specs/recommendations. I had no previous indication my trans was going out (no gear slipping anything. It drove fine up until it broke down) I called american honda for assistance in the repair, and they failed to even offer any sort of help. From what I've googled, honda odysseys have common trans/torque converter issues and american honda is well aware of the problems on the odysseys. After this, I will not buy another honda.

I was driving my 2006 honda odyssey at a normal speed in houston, when it suddenly would not shift into gear, and the tach revved up to the red line. Had it towed to the dealership and they told me that the transmission had failed. I have 143,00 miles on it. The price that the dealership quoted was 4300.00 dollars. I requested assistance from american honda, and was denied on several occasions because of the number of miles on the van. I took it to a local honda specialist and got the same transmission and warranty for 1100.00 less.
