1999 Honda Odyssey

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC STOP. THEN, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS EXCEPT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE AND PCS WARNING LIGHTS STOPPED ILLUMINATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (RECALL INFORMATION NOT AVAILABLE) BUT THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY BEING OFFERED TO THOSE VEHICLE OWNERS WHO HAD LESS THAN 100,000 MILES OR WHOSE VEHICLE WAS LESS THAN SEVEN YEARS OLD. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED FOR THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,036. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,002.

TRANSMISSION RECALLED IN 05 FOR DEFECT, WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME WITH LOCAL DEALER. JULY 29, 2008 TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE TRAVELING FAR FROM HOME AND WAS REPLACED AT MY COST OF $5,000 AS I WENT 6 MONTHS PAST WARRANTY. TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AGAIN AND HAS TO BE REPLACED AT MY COST BECAUSE I PUT 4,000 MILES OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA FOR HELP AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST ME. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER BEEN FIXED FOR THE ORIGINAL DEFECT WITH THE RECALL IN 05, IF IT HAD, I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT BE TOLD BY HONDA THAT IT NEEDS IT'S 4TH TRANSMISSION. (3 IN 5 YEARS TIME). *TR

I HAVE 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY WHO WONT PASS THE EMISSIONS TEST. I AM SECOND OWNER TO THIS VEHICLE AND GOT IT WITH 62,000 MILES ON IT AND ONLY HAVE USED IT FOR ONLY OVER 33,000 MILES ONLY. WENT TO A MECHANIC AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS THE PROBLEM. ITS NO REASON FOR ONLY 93,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE TO BE GOING BAD. MADE A CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA AND GOT DENIED FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY SAID ITS OVER THE WARRANTY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND I KNEW THAT THEY KNEW THAT THEIR VEHICLE HAS DEFECT AND THEY SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHO WOULD BUY A CAR LESS THAN A 100,000 MILE THEN THE TRANSMISSION WILL GO BAD? I AT LEAST EXPECT 150K OR 200K BEFORE IT GOES DOWN. REALLY DISAPPOINTED ON HONDA AUTOMOBILES. NEED SOME HELP. VERY COSTLY REPAIR. NEEDS HONDA TO REPAIR THIS FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A USED 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH LOW MILEAGE FOR OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD THE VAN FOR APPROXIMATELY 2.5 YEARS. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THERE IS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WEBSITE IN WHICH A RECALL WAS LISTED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM (BUT IRONICALLY NOT THE SAME YEAR). AFTER CALLING JESSICA IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT. AND REQUESTING A GOODWILL EXTENSION ON THE WARRANTY (SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES) I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR US (SINCE THE TIME HAD EXPIRED) EVEN THOUGH THROUGH THEIR OWN WEBSITE THEY CLEARLY HAVE A DEFECT WITH THE TRANSMISSION DURING THIS TIME PARAMETER. *TR

I PURCHASED A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WITH ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON IT FROM A HONDA DEALER AS CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED IN 2001. TRANSMISSION HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE. I REPLACED IT UNDER HONDA CERTIFIED WARRANTY IN 2005. VEHICLE TURNED 149,000 MILES AND TRANSMISSION (CONFIRMED BY SANTA MONICA HONDA) MUST AGAIN BE REPLACED MEANING CAR NEEDS A 4TH TRANSMISSION. HONDA WILL NOT EXTEND ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ME NOR WILL THEY RELEASE FACTORY TRANSMISSION TO ME SAYING THEY ARE HOLDING FACTORY PARTS FOR "GOOD WILL" REPLACEMENTS! THIS HAS BEEN A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. HOW CAN THEY DO THIS? *TR

1999 HONDA ODYSSEY - DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY WITH THE FAMILY IN THE CAR WHEN THE DASH LIGHT AND TCS LIGHT COME ON. VAN WOULD NOT SHIFT OR KEEP SPEED. WE WERE ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THE DECREASING SPEED. THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH TRANSMISSION FOR THIS VAN. HONDA DID COVER THE FIRST THREE BUT HAS ADAMANTLY STATED THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS ONE. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS MODEL. BECAUSE THIS IS A MINI VAN IN WHICH FAMILIES ARE DRIVING, HONDA PUTS YOU AND YOURS AT RISK WITH A REPETITIVE ISSUE. *TR
