| Second owner. transmission replaced by honda in 2006 at 55,000 miles for noted gear overheating recall in sarasota, fl. current mileage is less than 90,000 miles later. transmission regular maintenace completed and a firmware update was done in 2009 at 120,000 (65,000 on new tranny) miles. transmission now downshifts very hard (hard shift) from 3-2 when coasting downhill or if the brake is slightly applied when coasting downhill. honda technicians stated normal operation to allow for engine braking. new firmware caused the change. q4 2012 transmission now shifts from 1-2 in about 3 seconds, not slipping, but taking a long time to shift and prevents acceleration during this delay. could prevent accident avoidance with long delay. honda technician states normal operation and included in firmware to reduce damage due to recall. note these issues are on the supposedly fixed transmission. series of data suggests that the recall repair did not solve transmission failure problem, but was a band-aid in combination with firware updates to buffer 2nd gear manufacturing defects. i do not believe the transmission will survive to 100k miles, but has recieved excellent care and repairs. safety issue is the inability to accelerate during 1-2 shift delay and unexpected engine braking during downhill coasting which could trigger rear-end accidents (note no brake lights when it occurs). i believe in honda and they should do the right thing and provide lifetime transmission replacements due to the safety concerns with their products that are well-known and documented. | |||

| I was driving on the highway when the shift light on d started flashing and the transmission failed with the vehicle coming to a stop. i had the vehicle towed to the transmission clinic 3875 interpark drive, colorado springs, co. 80907. under a honda recall id# 48576, i tried to get some compensation for the $3,897.40 repair of a rebuilt transmission. american honda motor co. inc. never sent me a recall notice even thought i bought the car new from them and i never changed my address. honda should have sent me a recall notice or checked the transmission when i had the vehicle in the dealership for oil changes. i have written two letters to american honda motor co. inc. and received a case # n012013-01-21-02021 and talked with a bridget 1-800-999-1009 ext. 117730. she says sense i did not have the repairs done by honda, they will not compensate me for anything. she refused to address the recall notice that i never received. | |||

| Car stopped going into gear check engine light came on d started flashing and tcs light came on car would keep hesitating into gear and finally just would not move. typical problem for honda odyssey as i just found out by class action suit and many complaints on line. but when i call honda they say this car has never been recalled for any transmission defects. picture that it is amazing how many problems they have had and continue to have but they do a good job keeping it quiet. this is very dangerous and i am sure expensive problem for them that is why they wont admit to any defects. since this is costing me 3500 to get a jasper transmission with 3 year warranty. will not buy a honda again. *tr | |||

| Originating in portland, or to l.a., california, our vacation was abruptly interrupted 30 miles north of bakersfield with some smoke coming out of our engine. we decided to pull over for safety and upon disembarking noticed from fluid dripping from the driver side area of the engine. we were towed to a honda dealership in bakersfield and after spending the night came back the next morning to the dealer and was told that my transmission on my 2004 honda odyssey was out of commission and that it needed to be replaced. i have been a loyal customer of honda since the 80's, as my other family members, and never had we experienced this type of catastrophic event(having to pay $4000.00 to replace the transmission) during our family vacation. i am the original owner of this van and (from 2004), i never have i received any recall or communication from the honda corporation about the transmission. i always changed my fluids and had it maintained. if i would've known about the transmission issue, i probably would've avoided using it for such as long journey. i contacted the honda corporation office in california but they disregarded it as just a misfortune. i asked for reimbursement or some type of reimbursement but they denied my plead. *tr | |||

| While heading down the interstate at 70 miles an hour the transmission just went away. after researching the issue i found out that honda has had several issues with the transmissions doing just that and say they have fixed it. however, in my opinion it has not been fixed. as i was sitting along the highway waiting for a tow truck as semi after semi went past shaking my van, i think they should take another look at the issue.

| Had noticed recently that when switching gears the van jumped and at highway speeds seemed to vibrate/shake. then the engine light came on. after much investigation, the diagnosis was the transmission needed to be replaced. when the transmission was being worked on it was also discovered that all of the mounts had to be replaced as well. the maintenance schedule had been followed completely so this was a complete shock -- at least until i started doing some research, saw the recall notice of over 1-million honda odyssey transmissions (however my vin # didn't come up!) and saw just how many transmission complaints there were from other owners also not part of the recall. because the dealership was way too expensive, i chose my recommended local aamco shop to do the repairs. called honda and was told there would be no goodwill claim because (a) the dealership did not do the repair and (b) the transmission is only warrantied by honda for 36/36,000 (no wonder!!). however, the dealership had told me that honda rarely provides goodwill claims and if they do, i'd be lucky to receive $400, so considering the dealership was over $2000 more for just the transmission work, i couldn't risk having the dealership do the repair to later find out that honda would reject a goodwill claim. *tr | |||

| While on a sales trip 180 miles from home--experienced chugging betweens gear shifts 1-2, and strong slipping between 3 and 4. drove directly to the nearest honda dealer. transmission diagnosed as clutch failure from codes by honda dealership mechanic, after test driving and reading codes. indicated it is still drive-able, if one is careful. limped home with extreme care during acceleration. drove approx. 50 miles to oh turnpike. while driving on the ohio turnpike, experienced quickly deteriorating power during slight prolonged incline-- which led to complete, 100% failure within 2-3 miles. was left stranded on the berm to be towed home. | |||

| Transmission needs to be replaced on this vehicle. bought the van used in 2006 with 25,000 miles. the van is not used for towing. driven mostly around town and on long trips. now with just 115000 miles the mechanic is saying the transmission is shot. today the van revved awkwardly high during gear shifts and then the gear selector became non-effective once the vehicle stopped. apparently this is typical for this vehicle of this age which unacceptable in my mind for a honda. the estimate is for $4,500 to repair. | |||

| Drove the car in the morning and parked it...got back in the car and drove it and noticed the shifter was loose. i change the atf every 30,000 miles as recommended by honda and used honda atf. drained and replaced; not flushed. took the car to an atra certified shop to diagnose the problem with the shifter. the shop said that either the spring on the detent ball or the pin holding the rooster comb onto the manual shaft is broken. recommended that i stop driving the car because of safety concern. recommended replacement with rebuilt transmission. | |||

| While returning from texas to arkansas, my transmission had a complete failure on i-20 south of dallas. there was no warning, no indicator lights, no sounds. the engine tach redlined and i was able to cross 2 lanes of traffic with no power whatsoever. the car began smoking from hot transmission fluid. when i stopped, i noticed fluid covering the inside of the front wheel wells. i had it towed to a nearby honda dealer and was told i had a total transmission failure. there were no computer codes recorded by the vans computer. my bill to have it replaced was $4,200.00. i also had to pay for a tow, a rental car to return to little rock and an airline ticket to return to dallas to recover my van. this car was purchased new by me and has always been serviced by honda. | |||

| The transmission is completely shot on this 2004 honda odyssey. no warning signs at all. $3000+ worth of repairs. there was a recall on 2004 odyssey transmissions for 1.1 million of them, but my vin doesn't happen to fall in that category... | |||

| While driving 35mph on a city bridge, the engine lost power, then revved. the symptoms repeated the next day. my wife was unable to control the van when the problems occurred. we took the van to our honda dealership and were informed the transmission had failed. our 2004 odyssey has had all required factory maintenance performed by the dealership we purchased it from. at 95,000 miles we had the recommended 105,000 mile service to include a transmission flush and inspection. there were no problems prior to the service and the service showed our van was in excellent condition. honda warranty had expired, i was told by honda of america that transmission service life was approximately 100,000 miles. nothing in the owners manual indicates that. after paying $1000 for the service we are now faced with a $6300 bill for a new transmission. given the price of the van and routine service, this is unacceptable, as is the safety concerns for a transmission catastrophically failing just after a service and inspection produced nothing but a van in excellent condition. | |||

| Driving on the highway florida to illinois at apx 65-70mph,without warning vehicle looses power, almost to a crawl, smoke bellowing out behind the car. diagnosed as transmission failure. honda dealership states vehicle is not cover by warranty or recall. dealership could replace tranny at a cost over $5k. opted to install another odyssey trans independently. this failed in less than 1k miles. opted to then have original transmission independently rebuilt with genuine honda's oem parts and specification with honda dealership consult. worked fine for appx 26k miles then torque converter burned out again. replaced and repaired torque even solenoid but less than 8k mi tranny failed again. all these happened in less than one year and 30k miles. bill kay honda dealership still saying car is not involve in recall/suit and out of warranty. previously i complained at planet honda about a jerk/thump when increasing speed between 10-40 and dealership states they 'could not duplicate the problem'. vehicle is still down and honda and their dealerships are still screwing it's customers. ps: had 2002 odyssey that was on its way out with similar problems but it crashed. also, have a 2001 civic with same transmission failure sitting for the least 3 years with only about 100k on it! shame on you honda!!! | |||

| My 2004 odyssey, with 77000 miles, experienced a transmission failure while driving on highway with no warning & no early indications of malfunction (slippage, engagement, etc), noticed tachometer revving higher than normal then lost of drivetrain power with engine still operating. manage to exit highway and onto offramp before transmission disengaged from engine. the frightening thing was we coasted to a stop in a blind turn with vegetation hiding our position from other exiting vehicles ( sb i280 ocean ave exit, next to city college of san francisco). serramonte honda service dept told me transmission no longer under original 60000 mile power train warranty & that he does not know of any transmission problems in the odyssey model. internet search reveals transmission failures very common with many odyssey owners having to go through multiple power trains with no admission of design flaws for such premature transmission failures by honda. | |||

| I have a 2004 honda odyssey, original owners, and we have maintained this vehicle immaculately. i noticed the transmission lagging and not going into gear immediately. i took it to our local dealer and was told that my transmission needs to be replaced. the mechanic said that this was a young transmission, meaning it shouldn't have gone out so soon. after researching this on the internet, i have found so many articles related to faulty transmissions with the honda odyssey and can't believe that honda hasn't owned up and stood behind their vehicles. i can honestly say that honda is no longer on my list of reputable companies. | |||

| Wife was taking kids to an air show. while merging into traffic on i95 the car would not shift out of gear at 40 miles per hour. the car began to shake, shudder and produce loud noises. my wife had to pull the car out the traffic onto the side of the road. she was able to safely exit i95 at the next exit. since then the car has been diagnosed with complete transmission failure. | |||

| The transmission failed completely. a day earlier the tcs light lit up and the check engine light lit up. the very next day, while driving at about 40 miles there was a slipping sensation and then within few minutes the car started slowing down and pressing gas pedal had no effect in moving the car forward. with two kids in the car, thank god, i wasn't traveling on the highway. i couldn't imagine if this would have happened on the highway at 70 miles per hour with bunch of cars and trucks behind me. i was traveling in the local roads while this happened. i had called honda customer service, and they mentioned that there isn't any recall or extended warranty for my vin. they also indicated that they are not aware of any transmission problems with those vehicle and requested me to take it to the dealer. i had it towed to a mechanic and the he took a look at it and said it is a transmission failure - pure and simple. honda has indicated that this is a simple wear and tear issue and that they cannot help any further. other than opening up a case (case # n012011-11-0100048) honda customer service hasn't helped much. looking at various auto forums, the transmission problem seems to be the number 1 problem for the 2nd generation (and even some 3rd generation) odysseys with engine mount problem tailing close as the number 2 problem. despite all this, it is surprising that honda seems to be unwilling to do anything about. it. | |||

| Never had any problems with transmission in the past. i was driving on the highway at 70 mph when, without any warning, the transmission failed. the car was undrivable and began to overheat. there was transmission fluid all over. had the vehicle towed and had transmission rebuilt for $1500. since the rebuild, the transmission has failed 3 additional times. | |||

| When traveling down the passing lane of a 4 lane highway in heavy traffic at 60 mph the vehicle suddenly lost power and began to slow as if the brakes were on. fortunately i was able to pull over to the side of the road without anyone running in to me. upon getting to the side of the road i noticed that the engine light was on. i put the gear shift lever into park and walked around the van to see if any fluids were leaking. none were. i got back into the van to see if it would move. it finally did after moving the shifter from p to d a few times but it did not have the power and did not shift correctly. the code that turned up on my mechanics scanner showed that the transmission had slipped and would need replacing. i called honda and they said there was nothing that they could do for me eventhough there has been numerous issues with these transmissions. the only recall they acknowledge was the fuel pump for my van. the outcome of the event could have been much more serious and i feel honda is just turning a blind eye to this. if this caused a serious accident i question what they would say after a lawyer gave them a call. they should have at least attempted to negotiate a deal for a new transmission. this will be the last time honda does this to me. i have owned many gm vehicles with more mileage and never had experienced a transmission failure. after spending over $3500 on a rebuilt transmission i don't believe another honda will be in my driveway! | |||

| When traveling down the passing lane of a 4 lane highway in heavy traffic at 60 mph the vehicle suddenly lost power and began to slow as if the brakes were on. fortunately i was able to pull over to the side of the road without anyone running in to me. upon getting to the side of the road i noticed that the engine light was on. i put the gear shift lever into park and walked around the van to see if any fluids were leaking. none were. i got back into the van to see if it would move. it finally did after moving the shifter from p to d a few times but it did not have the power and did not shift correctly. the code that turned up on my mechanics scanner showed that the transmission had slipped and would need replacing. i called honda and they said there was nothing that they could do for me eventhough there has been numerous issues with these transmissions. the only recall they acknowledge was the fuel pump for my van. the outcome of the event could have been much more serious and i feel honda is just turning a blind eye to this. if this caused a serious accident i question what they would say after a lawyer gave them a call. they should have at least attempted to negotiate a deal for a new transmission. this will be the last time honda does this to me. i have owned many gm vehicles with more mileage and never had experienced a transmission failure. after spending over $3500 on a rebuilt transmission i don't believe another honda will be in my driveway! | |||

| I have a 2004 honda odyssey with 111,111 miles and we currently live overseas in england. my check engine and tcs light came on five days ago and since then it has been down hill. it has trouble getting into reverse and now it is scipping really bad in 2nd and 3rd gear. i took it to the uk honda and since it is us spec and has to ship the transmission from the states it will cost 7500 pounds and with the exchange rate it would be about 12000 dollars. we do not have many choices as they are not many shops that will work on american spec cars. we loved the van up until this all staredwe have to make the choice to get rid of the car as it is not worth that much. we are really in a bind as we are a family of six and this is our only transportation | |||

| The vehicle while driving home in the evening at 25 mph on the local streets, the check engine light and the tca light came on. the next morning while driving the vehicle to the local mechanic only the check engine light stayed on. mechanic concluded after all the diagnostic as code p0730 and there is a lot of wear, shredded/chipped clutch/gearbox particles in the transmission fluid, which needs new tranmission costing about $6500. researching this further online: found that numerous honda odyssey had the same issue where they had to replace the transmission. the vehicle is very well maintained and gets all the required and recommended service, and never had any major issue with this vehicle. we are over 18 years of honda owners and are very satisfied with them so far. though now very disappointed and upset with honda as they claim to be a very reliable and sturdy automobiles. | |||

| The van has made strange noises and gotten horrible gas mileage since we purchased as 'certified pre-owned' from honda dealer. we reported both to dealer and gotten no response but 'oh, well'. we have serviced the vehicle at the same dealership since purchased and followed all recommendations for service. the d light has been flashing at random for over a year, but each service appt they found nothing and just sent us on the way. at the last appt, they finally found a bad sensor that had been causing the light to flash (they said). we had them replace the sensor. we drove across the us to visit family. the tcs and cel came on and we took the car to a shop to have the code read. p0740. we called our dealer in or and they said it would probably make it back to or from al. 20 miles later the tranny died completely. my wife came within 10 feet of being flattened by a big truck due to lack of power or control. my wife and two kids were stranded on the side of the interstate. we had the van towed and tameron honda said it would be 2800-3k to fix. they called back a couple days later to say it was almost 3600. we have religiously serviced the van and never towed or hauled anything. we have complained for years to our dealer that there was something wrong with the van. we bought an extended warranty that covered everything up to 105k miles. we have complained since we bought the van in 2006 and honda only drove and said they didn't hear anything. we are now out 3.6k for the new transmission even though we have been calling it out for 5 years. the transmissions in these vehicles are weak and should not become a 4000 repair for consumers. the van has been cared for mechanically and we have done our part, but honda refuses to do anything. it is hard to believe that a transmission on any vehicle would fail this early. there are hundreds of other people with the same failures. there should be some action from honda to fix this dangerous condition. | |||

| I own honda odyssey 2004, 170000 miles. the transmission had the code p0730. when i went to a dealership they gave estimates for repairs or replacement. calling to honda usa i found that there was a recall on transmissions in 2004. also, they told me that recall was done on my vehicle. talking to other owners, i found that there is no issue with the mileage, 120000 or 150000 we have the same problems with sleeping gears and codes. after talking to honda case manager, they told me that honda would not pay for replacement. they would not confirm the conversation or willing to sent any letters of outcome of this case. the van was purchased from the honda dealer in 2009 for $17,000 and dealer gave one year warranty. | |||

| I purchased a new 2004 honda odyssey in the fall of 2003. about a year later, there was a recall & the transmission was replaced with a new one. in the fall of 2009, the transmission failed & was rebuilt for $2800 through a independent shop. i had contacted the honda service department, but they would not give me a break on the price which was about 1k more. in march of 2011 the transmission failed again & had to be rebuilt for $2100. although out of warrenty, the shop gave me a break on the labor charge. i bought a honda because of the reputation for quality. however, due to this ongoing transmission problem, i will not buy another honda. | |||

| February 29, 2011: i own a 2004 honda odyssey with 136,961 miles. i loved loved loved my honda, until now. tcs & check engine lights came on. took to my local repair shop and they got the codes p0700at & p0740tc. they advised i take to the dealer because it was a transmission issue which they don't. dealer said could find nothing wrong with transmission but battery was weak and timimg belt & timing belt holder needed replacement. after paying $1200 i picked up the van and drove it home. the next morning the tcs & engine came on again. took it back to the dealer. they said local repair shop must have erased the transmission coded when they check them and that is why they didn't see them and thought there was nothing wrong with transmission even though i told them there was something wrong with it. they said i will need a new transmission. i called honda america to file a case. they took my information and then told me there was nothing they could do to assist me. i asked to speak with a supervisor who told me the same thing. i don't know what to do. we are a one income family. i am a stay at home mom who takes care of her 92 year old grandfather who has alzheimers. we bought a honda because we have always loved how dependable they are and now i don't have a car. with so many cases of transmission problems, i can't believe honda won't back up their product. i can't afford a new transmission and have no idea how i am going to get my kids and my grandpa to school, doctors appointments, etc. | |||

| At less than 87,000 miles, my 2004 honda odyssey needs a new transmission. one month ago, the honda dealer performed a transmission service on the car as routine maintenance and then it started slipping within 3 weeks. i have read that countless other people have had the same issue with 1999-2004 odysseys and that the warranty was extended on 1999-2001 models. my 2004 had a recall that supposedly fixed the issue, and yet, at this low mileage, i am now faced with a $5,000 repair on a car that has been well-maintained. honda has also issued many tsbs on these transmissions and knows there is a problem. nhtsa should force them to replace all transmissions in all odysseys free of charge. | |||

| Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) the tcs light and the gear selection d light began to blink on my honda 2004 odyssey. the transmission started to slip. in a matter of a day the transmission failed as i was on the highway. the tachometer spiked and the transmission would not engage. then the engine light came on. i could not get the car to accelerate. it was total transmission failure. i had to coast the vehicle off of the highway. the van has 85,000 miles. when i called american honda motor corp about recall nhtsa 04v176000 they said i was not covered. [xxx] was not included in the recall so i had to go to my local honda dealer to have them evaluate it and then they could possibly negotiate some type of assistance from honda motor corp. i called my local honda dealership he stated since we were not the original owner of the vehicle that honda motor corp would not help. he estimated that the cost to fix the transmission would be at least $3,200. i took the van to a transmission shop. it cost me $2300 to have the transmission rebuilt and an external cooler put on. furthermore the engine and transmission mounts had to be replaced. they said the main problem is that there is a manufacture defect that is allowing the transmissions to overheat. once they overheat they send off flakes that get caught in the filter screens in the transmission that causes more overheating and eventually failure of transmission. *tr | |||

| During the week of march 1-5, 2010, my honda odyssey was showing signs of slippage when going from one gear to other, however the problem was transient. i was on vacation at deep creek lake, maryland in the weekend of march 5-7 and was driving back from there on march 7 afternoon. i was on cruise at 55 miles per hour on us 219n, when coming over a small hill, the car suddenly violently shook and was revving up (rpm very high) trying to maintain speed of 55 mph and was unable to do so. i braked and got the car under control and without knowing much merged on i-70e headed towards home at baltimore, md. driving for about 100 miles, i took exit at hagerstown, md to take gas. after taking gas, i wanted to head back to the highway but unable to continue that much further. the car would not move pressing on the gas pedal and finally had to call aaa towing to tow the car. anyway, it is with hagerstown honda and the diagnosis is transmission failure and i need to shell out 3500k from my pocket. transmission failure for a 2004 odyssey at 122k miles is absolutely unacceptable and american honda refusing to do anything to help me out. this car is apparently also not included in the recall list the honda had earlier this decade on some the odyssey models for the transmission problem. i think this needs to be investigated and recall expanded. *tr | |||

| I had a long wait at a pharmacy drive up window so with the engine running, i put the shift in park and set the foot brake. on an attempt to move forward i put my foot on the brake pedal, released the emergency brake and attempted to move the shift lever from park but it was locked in the park position and would not move. i quickly looked in the owners manual and read the instructions on page 185-6 which described removal of a trap access door and inserting the ignition key to unlock the park condition. if i would have been in traffic and would not have had a pen knife i would never have been able to correct the condition. the trap door was almost indiscernible designed into the top of the dash above the steering wheel and difficult to even get the sharp blade of a pen knife in the crack to pry open. the service personnel checked my brake lights to see if they were working and they were ok. apparently there is a relationship to the park condition. i ask what a woman is supposed to do if that were to happen and they had no suggestion. why can't the controls be designed so all you have to do is remove the key from the ignition and restart the engine to unlock the locked condition. i can see this condition as a disaster on a jammed freeway. putting a remedy in the drivers manual is not the answer to this rather perplexing situation, especially for non mechanical drivers with poor perception skills and in emergency situations. *jb | |||

| 2004 honda odyssey transmission problem. at 20,000 miles, the transmission has started to slip. also, it rolls backwards when it is in drive in our driveway. our driveway is not steep. it did not do that when we first got it. the dealer said that was normal. we almost slammed into a car that was parked in front of us on a hill. we were facing downward. i put the van in reverse, then i took my foot off the brake to make some room so i could get around the car parked in front of us. the van rolled forward and i had just enough time to avoid causing major damage. i had to find the owner of the car in front so he could move out of the way so i could get out of there. *jb | |||

| When shifting up from a lower gear (from 1st to 2nd) most notably at low speeds, around 20 to 25 mph, the engine feels like it is revving higher than normal before shifting into the next gear. when it does shift, it shifts hard and makes a clanking noise. it feels as though the transmission is sticking, preventing it from changing gears in a normal fashion. i have not noticed it occurring at any specific time, it seems to happen at random intervals when driving at lower speeds. i have taken the van in for inspection and the technician could not recreate this problem. took van on july 08, contacted honda, the problem still has yet to be resolved. this is one of six problems i had to take the van in for. after having the van for two weeks, only two non-mechanical problems were partially resolved and one non-mechanical problem was resolved completely.*ak | |||
