2001 Honda Odyssey

I WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IN MY LANE AND DIRECTION I WAS TRAVELING, THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURN RED, WHICH IMPLIES MY VEHICLE TO STOP. I STOPPED. WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURN GREEN, WHICH IMPLIES MY VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT PULL FORWARD. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE VEHICLE, WITH SOUNDS AND FEEL OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SLIPPING AND AT TIMES NOT MOVING. I BARELY MADE IT TO A SAFE PLACE , A NEAR STORE PARKING LOT, TO GET MY VEHICLE OUT OF DANGER OF A BUSY HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. I HAD TO BE TOWED TO A FRIEND'S HOME SOME 40 MILES FROM THE VEHICLE OCCURRING PROBLEM OF NOT OPERATING IN A SAFE MANNER. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT RAN SINCE. IF YOU PUT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE PERIOD. THE VEHICLE IS AND HAS REMAINED IN MY YARD AT MY RESIDENT.

MY 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS SHAKING AND WHEN I WOULD SHIFT IT IN GEAR AND WOULDN'T SHIFT AND IT WOULD DRIVE ROUGH. I CHANGED ALL THE SOLENOID BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. NOW I'M JUST GOING TO JUNK IT I CAN'T AFFORD PUTTING A NEW TRANSMISSION IT ONLY HAS 112,000 MILES. I ONLY USED MY HONDA TO GO TO WORK AND HOME IN THE CITY STREETS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NORMAL AND THE NEXT MOMENT MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS AS NORMAL AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV WITHOUT PROPELLING MY VEHICLE ANY FARTHER. I SLOWED DOWN AND THEN COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I EXPERIMENTED ONCE I WAS SAFELY OFF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RE ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. IT LET ME GO FOR ANOTHER FEW MILES THEN I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY I STARTED TO DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANICS SHOP AND ON THE WAY IT STOPPED AND WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. I WAS ONLY ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF FROM MY HOME. FITTINGLY ENOUGH I HAD TO PARK IT IN THE PARKING LOT OF A BUSINESS. THAT BUSINESS WAS A FUNERAL HOME. ALL THIS TOOK PLACE ON A CITY STREET WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 MILES PER HOUR. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING, I WAS BEING FOLLOWED BY A CO-WORKER WHO WAS GOING TO GIVE ME A RIDE AFTER I DROPPED IT OFF. TO BE MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED, I WAS JUST DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE ERUPTED REVVING AND AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT SLOWED OBVIOUSLY BUT THE SECOND I PRESSED ON THE PEDAL AGAIN IT WAS REV WITH NO MOTION. NOW I HAVE A VAN WITH A NEW TIMING BELT, NEW REAR BRAKE LIGHT (I PUT IN MYSELF) AND NEW ROTORS AND BRAKES AND WHEELS. WHAT A SHAME THE PUBLIC WASN'T PROTECTED FROM THIS BETTER. SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL ON ALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND BE MADE RIGHT. MY MECHANIC CANT EVEN FIND ONE FOR LESS THAN $1500 WHICH IS INSANE. HE HAD A QUOTE FOR $2400 AND I ONLY PAID $3700 FOR THE VAN IN JUNE OF 2014. THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM WAS THE TRANSMISSION WITH OUT DOUBT.

FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE WE OWNED THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING AND THE VEHICLE AGAIN ISN'T DRIVABLE. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS Y/M/M WITH MANY COMPLAINTS. NHTSA AND HONDA NEED TO DO A RECALL. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WAS LUCKY TO NOT HAVE HAD ANY CARS AROUND ME. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT BY HONDA. WE'RE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS IS NHTSA BUT NO MAJOR ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VAN ON A HWY THE RPMS WENT UP AND THE VAN WOULD NOT GO AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS TOTALLY GONE. I GOT PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO CALL A WRECKER SERVICE TO COME AND PICK US UP. THE VAN HAS BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. I GOT IN IT AND IT WILL GO IN A LOWER GEAR BUT ONLY UNTIL THE VAN WARMS UP THEN IT WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT COST ME $200. TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME AND I WAS TOLD BY A TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT IT WOULD COST ME ANYWHERE FROM $2500 TO $4500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THAT IS MORE THAN THE VAN IS APPARENTLY WORTH. I HAVE SPENT MY CHRISTMAS MONEY ON JUST THE TOWING. I NEED HELP IN GETTING IT FIXED I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH 2 SMALL CHILDREN. I DID NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE VAN WITH ME BUT IT WAS ME AND MY EX MOTHER IN LAW AND IT WAS NIGHT AND A MOUNTAINOUS HWY. IF I HAD NOT GOTTEN MY VAN OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT AS THERE ARE A LOT OF CARS AND BIG RIG TRUCKS THAT DRIVE ON THAT ROAD.
