HONDA ODYSSEY 2001. CHECK ENGINE AND TC LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE ON HIGHWAY DRIVING BACK FROM VACATION. NO SPECIFIC INCIDENT LED TO ISSUES. TOOK IN TO HAVE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIAGNOSED.

I BOUGHT MY USED 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY TWO YEARS AGO. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VAN. I HAVE NOW NOTICED WHEN I TRY TO PICK UP SPEED AROUND 40 MPH IT STARTS SLIPPING. HONDA IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS. HONDA'S ARE KNOWN FOR THERE LONG LASTING TRANSMISSIONS, I HAVE FIVE KIDS AND NOW I AM STUCK ! I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WHO IS HERE TO HELP US VICTIMS??? *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 107,000 MILES AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL SINCE THE RECALL WAS LIMITED TO LESS THAN 100,000. TRANSMISSION REPLACED FOR $3400 IN FALL, 2007 WITH A HONDA-REBUILT TRANSMISSION. MARCH 2011, SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 73, 000 WITH REPAIRS COSTING $3150. UNABLE TO ENTER VIN: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES OF ROUTINE DRIVING ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS HELD TO A BETTER THAN AVERAGE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. HONDA ISSUED A RECALL, BUT DID NOT INFORM ME OF ITS EXISTENCE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I REGULARLY VISITED A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER FOR SERVICE, AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE RECALLS TIME/MILEAGE PARAMETERS. *TR

HONDA ODYSSEY LX - 2001 MODEL YEAR I HAD A CHECK ENGINE AND A TCS INDICATOR LIGHT THAT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO AN HONDA AUTHORIZED MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT HELP. EVENTHOUGH THERE IS RECALL WITH THIS ISSUE AND HONDA HAS OFFERED TO PAY FOR REPAIR (LIMITED BY 7 YRS 9 MONTHS OR 109K MILES). INTERNET SEARCH WITH EDMUNDS AND OTHER CONSUME SITES INDICATES THIS PROBLEM IS A WIDESPREAD MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND HONDA IS REFUSING TO HELP PAY FOR REPAIR EVEN IF ITS LIMITED. *TR

MY FIRST TRANSMISSION FAILED JUST AT 40K MILES. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. WAS IN THE HOV LANE. MANAGED TO GET OFF THE NEARBY EXIT RAMP AND CALLED THE HONDA DEALER. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED IT. ONCE AGAIN AT 107K MILES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD JUST GOT THE SERVICE DONE AND A TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED. IT HAPPENED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THIS SERVICE. STALLED IN THE CENTER LANE IN FRONT OF THE KIDS SCHOOL DURING PEAK DROP OFF TIME. HAD TO CALL AAA TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. IT WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY GEAR EXCEPT REVERSE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ALSO HAD A OXYGEN SENSOR RECALLED ON THIS ONE. THANK GOD IT WAS ME WHO WAS DROPPING OFF AND WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE FOR OFFICE. I GET SCARED EVEN TO THINK IF MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE ALONE IN THIS ONE. AMERICAN HONDA WAS THE WORST. THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN. THEY SAY WE CANT DO ANYTHING. THEY KEEP REPEATING IT LIKE A BROKEN RECORD. READING OF A SCRIPT. I HAVE PURCHASED A HONDA TWICE. THE FIRST TIME AND THE LAST TIME. STAY AWAY FROM IT.

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. 2 BAD TRANSMISSION, THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING FROM CHICAGO TO CLEVELAND OVER THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS. TOOK IT TO HONDA AND CONFIRMED THE 2ND TRANSMISSION IS BAD AS WELL WITH 70K MILES ON IT. THEY WANT $5400.00 TO CHANGE TRANNY, YET ITS THEIR PROBLEM. THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM ORIGINALLY JUST REPLACED A BAD TRANNY WITH THE SAME BAD TRANNY HOPING THE CAR WOULD BE SCRAPPED BEFORE IT FALLS APART. HONDA DEALERSHIPS EXTREMELY RUDE AND WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. WE WERE STUCK ON THE TOLL ROAD UNTIL MY 64 YEAR OLD CANCER PATIENT FATHER CAME TO GET THE WIFE AND GRANDKIDS OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING SHE WOULD OF FREAKED OUT DRIVING AND WHO KNOWS WHAT SHE WOULD OF DONE. ANYWAYS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE BY HONDA. *TR
