| My honda odyssey (year 2000) stopped at a traffic light, then when green light was on, it roared big time at very high rpm, and moved very little. lots of cars behind me. after about a minute, my car suddenly moved, and moved as normal as usual. since then, especially when it is cold, my cars moves very teeny-tiny bit after a stop, and then suddenly pull forward. the situation is even worse if my car stops at bottom of a hill, then climbing up the hill after that is a big challenge. i was told it is probably transmission problem, there was a recall. but honda dealers said honda does not share any cost if i replace the transimission system (about $4000) which is recommended by the dealer, because it is out of warranty period, even though the mileage is now just a bit more than 70k. | |||

| I am a licensed used vehicle salesperson. i bought this vehicle at a dealer auction feb. 2012. upon purchase that day, the transmission did not fail with its 11 mph shift until it got warm. we thought it was only a filter as other vehicles have had. when we got it home, we called honda and they said this particular transmission has no way to change fluid or filter. i called honda about a recall, they said no recalls. it would only cost me $3797 dealer cost to replace it. since then i have found that honda still has this problem every vehicle year up to 2012. i think if they can produce and use such a transmission, they should be forced to recall them all. toyota recalled all their engines 2 years ago, regardless of year or mileage and they survived the recall. i am still driving this vehicle, because i don't know what to do with it. can't afford to add this much money to this vehicle and still be able to resell it to the public. | |||

| I have bought my used odyssey in january 2012 from a dealer and the transmission failed at 107,000 miles. i know there was a recall in 2004 that had the warranty up to 100,000 miles and an approved class lawsuit in 2006 that extended the warranty up to 109,000 miles. therefore, my van is still under the warranty since its at 107,000. i strongly request that this issue is resolved as soon as possible and that honda fixes and pays for the repair; or at least give me a call and discuss the matter. it is not possible for me to pay for the transmission entirely because i am a student and i simply cannot afford it. thank you. | |||

| I am having transmission problems, when shifting from 1st gear to second it slips and suddenly goes into gear, also when in 4th gear it tends to slip, rev up then jumps back into gear. i think its very dangerous and may cause an accident. i read the fourms on problems with the trans on the odyssey and noticed there is too many complants on the same problem. i hope you can look into this issue and help resolve this issue for me and all the other honda odyssey owners. thank you...... | |||

| Start vehicle and engine light comes on, tcs (traction control system) light goes on and car vibrates. this appears to be a well documented problem with honda transmissions. in fact, there's a dedicated website at www.odysseytransmission.com for people who've experienced similar problems or issues. i called honda america this morning and told there was nothing they could do even though am the original owner and this is the second transmission they've put in. they gave me a case# n012012-06-1100441 at this point am going to the dealer to have it checked out this afternoon weary of having to replace transmission for $3k | |||

| Driving home on huntington drive, 40 mph, at 5 p.m., i pressed the accelerator but the engine just revved and i went nowhere. i pressed the accelerator again, and my van jumped forward. fortunately, i was not rear-ended and the drivers allowed me to move to the right, with my emergency blinkers, now on. also, no bikers were along side me! i stopped the car and parked. my temperature gauge was normal. i started the car, gingerly went a block when it totally died. i waited for 3 hours, aaa system had lines down for some reason, and a so. pasadena tow truck came to the rescue. i was then towed to horizon honda, they kept my car for 2 weeks...communication with honda and horizon to get approval for another transmission...took awhile! luckily,i was 6 months or 300 miles away from the 3 year or 36,000 mile warranty, so the transmission was replaced for free! all i am asking is the same warranty on this transmission. honda is not offering one. i will write, call, complain, etc., until i get one! does honda not stand behind their transmissions? i will be in need of a car soon... | |||

| The sliding doors on my van quit working, first the super cheep plastic handles broke. i've replaced them 3 times. then the automatic opener quit working. after getting it fixed 3 times, and replacing the latches, the doors still don't close completely. the doors are not being secured! i'm having to drive with the door ajar and rear door switch off so the buzzer shuts off. sometimes my kids get trapped in my van and have to exit through the front or the back. i worry about if there is an accident. honda wont fix it. it is not a regular occurrence. says honda shop manager. after looking on the internet, it is a problem! thousands of similar complaints about the 2000-2002 honda odyssey's slider doors and the dealers' inability to fix the problem. | |||

| While driving on i-4 at 55 miles/hr, my honda odyssey's transmission gave up. it stalled without a warning. this is my 2nd transmission from honda which was installed last 12/2009. now after less than 2 yrs and 23,9000 miles later, the re-manufactured transmission malfunctioned. the worst thing, i was with my family when it happened and we were almost had a tragic accident. just imagine a van traveling @ 55/hr and suddenly stopped on a busy 1-4 in orlando florida. looking at the honda odyssey's forum, this is not an isolated incident. how can we prevent this from happening again? honda had been sitting for nothing and waiting for a sentinel event to happen. this event should have been prevented if our government would enforce a much stricter rule. | |||

| This is the first incident that i have on record regarding the transmission not shifting properly. i have several service records with rick case honda in davie florida regarding the transmission. in 12/08 i had to replace my transmission cost 1298.00. i was never informed by honda that there were problems with the 2000 odyssey automatic transmission. on june 23 2010 while traveling from canada on i-95 the transmission blew with heavy thick black smoke which obscured my vision. thick black oil spewed everywhere and we were traveling through macon ga. the vehicle began hesitating and it stalled right in the middle of the heavy traffic on i-95. this could have been a disaster because another vehicle could have crashed right in back of us. i had my entire family in the car, my wife and 4 children ages 16,15,11,9. i was able to coast the car off of the ramp. we were greatly inconvenienced and had to stay in macon ga for two additional days and it cost me additional 525.00 to replace the transmission that i just replaced in dec 2008. honda never informed me about the 2000 odyssey transmission problems that they were aware of since sept 2002. in jan 2007 i complained yet again of transmission problems with the same dealership. on 11/26/11 the transmission failed in the middle of the turnpike which it began to smoke and spew oil. again this could have been a disaster because someone could have crashed in back of my vehicle. fortunately i was able to coast the car off the ramp at bird road and call aaa. the care is at rick case honda. this is a very serious problem | |||
