2010 Honda Odyssey

2010 ODYSSEY W/ ABOUT 159K MILES. ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, BUT HONDA IS SAYING IT EXPIRED, AND I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR COST COVERAGE, AND THE REPAIRS ONLY HAVE A 50% CHANCE OF FIXING THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN 2016, AND THEY SAY THE RECALL EXPIRED AFTER MAKE YEAR. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK AND IT LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING OUT EXHAUST. AND THE BELT SNAPPED AND IT HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE EARLY FEBRUARY.

MY 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 85,000 MILES VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING UPHILL. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA TO GET THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. I LEARNED OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE WHICH COVERED UP TO MODEL YEAR 2009 BUT NOT 2010 EVEN THOUGH IT USES THE SAME PART. HONDA AMERICA WOULD ONLY OFFER ME A 40% DISCOUNT ON THE SERVICE. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA MYSELF BUT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF THE REPAIR. THIS IS A PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

2010 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR RECALL SERVICE, 14-032 FUEL PUMP MODULE LEAK, AFTER NOTIFICATION IN AUGUST 2015. UPON COMPLETION, THE SERVICE REPORT INDICATED THAT A PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS ALSO APPLIED FOR LOCK-UP CLUTCH FUNCTION PER RECALL 09-053 ODYSSEY LC JUDDER. WHILE WE HAD EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION JUDDER AND VIBRATION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING BETWEEN 25 TO 35 MPH, WE WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY NOTIFICATION OR RECALL AT ALL. AROUND JULY 2016, THE TRANSMISSION JUDDER AND HESITATION, COMBINED WITH SOME SUDDEN ACCELERATION CAME BACK AND WE SCHEDULED TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER FOR INSPECTION IN EARLY AUGUST 2016. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND A MINIMUM HOURLY LABOR CHARGE OF $115 WOULD APPLY FOR DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM. AT THE END, THE SERVICE REPORT INDICATED THAT FLUID LEVEL WAS GOOD, TRANSMISSION JUDDER WAS CONFIRMED TO OCCUR BETWEEN 20 - 40 MPH ON ROAD TEST, AND THE TORQUE CONVERTOR SHOULD BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $1,900 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT IT AND RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE. THE TORQUE CONVERTOR ON THIS VEHICLE IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT AND HONDA OFFERED ONLY A TEMPORARY QUICK FIX WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. OUR ODYSSEY HAS ONLY 46,500 MILES ON IT, BUT THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAS PASSED. PLEASE HELP AND INVESTIGATE.

OCCASIONALLY AS I COME TO A STOP (APPLY THE BREAKS, THE ENGINE WOULD SURGE UP TO 5,000 RPM), THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD UNTIL THE I APPLIED ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE BREAKS. THE ENGINE WOULD SHIFT DOWN TO THE IDLE CONFIGURATION. . I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 FOR MAINTENANCE THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT WITHOUT THE REPLICATION THEY CANNOT FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED 2 MINOR ACCIDENTS AND I AM AFRAID THAT SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS MAY OCCUR. *TR

AUTOMATIC DEVELOPED A HITCH AT ABOUT 40 MPH. JARRED VEHICLE. HONDA DIAGNOSED A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION, SPECIFICALLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. I SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR VEHICLES 2009 AND BEFORE IN YOUR DATA BASE THAT SAYS THIS IS INITIATED BY A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. SINCE THE 2010 IS THE SAME AS THE 2009, THIS IS LIKELY A SIMILAR ISSUE. *TR
