1999 Honda Odyssey

NORMAL USE OF THE CAR DRIVERS ELECTRICAL SEAT ADJUSTMENT PLATFORM FAILED SO THE THE SEAT WAS VERY LOOSE AND ROCKING. FELT LIKE SEAT WOULD COME LOOSE IN AN ACCIDENT. CONSEQUENCES COULD BE VERY SERIOUS. CERTAINLY VIOLATING THE SAFETY RATING WHICH HONDA ADVERTISES. THE CAR HAS NEVER TO MY KNOWLEDGE, BEEN WRECKED. IT FIRST FAILED IN DEC. 2008 AND WAS REPAIRED BY WELDING, WHICH FAILED JAN. 27, 2009. THE ENTIRE ADJUSTMENT FRAME WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $1200.00. I HAVE THE OLD PART FOR YOU OR HONDA TO INSPECT, IF YOU WISH. *TR

MY HONDA WAS VERY SLOW TO START IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. THOUGHT I WASN'T WARMING IT UP LONG ENOUGH ONCE THE WEATHER TURNED COLDER. ONCE IT WAS RUNNING FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT WAS FINE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT I HAVE BEEN HAUNTED BY THIS LIGHT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. USUALLY SOMETHING MINOR. ONE TIME I HAD MY CAT CONVERTER REPLACED. MY SON AND THREE OF HIS YOUNG FRIENDS TOOK THE VAN TO THE SNOW. I INSISTED HE TAKE THE VAN OVER HIS CAR BECAUSE IT WAS "SAFER". THERE WAS HEAVY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC. ON AN INCLINE, HE WENT TO PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. IT STARTED DRIFTING BACKWARDS! VERY DANGEROUS IN MAJOR TRAFFIC. HE DRIFTED ONTO THE SHOULDER, PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON CALLED AAA. THESE KIDS WERE STRANDED IN THE SNOW UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. IT JUST STOPPED! INCREDIBLE! I REPLACED THE TRANNY ONCE BEFORE WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER ITS ORIGINAL EXTENDED WARRANTY. REPLACED THE TRANNY AT 90,200 MILES. NOW AT 147,000 MILES, I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. SINCE THE SECOND TRANSMISSION WAS COMPED, THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE REPLACEMENT TRANNY. IT WAS NOT REPLACED WITH ANEW TRANNY BUT A RE-MANUFACTURED UNIT. WAS HONDA SUPPOSE TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE IF MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY? *TR

1999 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 68,000 MILES BY A HONDA DEALER BECAUSE OF SHIFTING ISSUES. HONDA REPLACED THIS FOR FREE. TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AT 137,000 BECAUSE OF SHIFTING ISSUES. I CANNOT GET 70,000 OUT OF A HONDA TRANSMISSION. THE VAN HAS A HARD DOWN SHIFT WHEN SLOWING DOWN. HONDA HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED DOWNHILL, THE VAN SHUTS OFF AND RESTARTS BY THE TIME IT REACHES THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. THE FAILURE OCCURS IN ANY WEATHER CONDITIONS. ALL OTHER SYSTEMS OF THE VEHICLE ARE AFFECTED DURING THE FAILURE, SUCH AS LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED ONCE IT SHUTS OFF. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V120000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH) IN 2002 AND THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2005; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,000.

I OWN A 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 120,000 MILES. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 75,000 MILES ABOUT REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. AT THE TIME, THE VEHICLE HAD NO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. RIGHT NOW THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY DISABLED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THE SHIFTER MOVES INTO THE DRIVE POSITION, BUT WILL NOT MOVE IN ANY GEAR. NOT EVEN REVERSE. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL DEALER, HONDA OF ANNAPOLIS, WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVER THE WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $3500.00 FOR A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION. I SPOKE TO A LOCAL AAMCO SHOP WHO REPORTED TO ME THAT THEY HAD REPLACED NO LESS THAN 6 TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE 1999-2002 MODEL HONDA ODYSSEY. CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM. I RECEIVED NO WARNING FROM THE VEHICLE OF A PROBLEM. I JUST GOT IN IT ONE MORNING AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE. NOW I WISH I HADN'T HAD THE RECALL DONE. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WORKED JUST FINE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

I CALLED HONDA IS REGARDS TO THIS ASKING WHAT THE WARRANTY WAS , THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY A 3 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION, I HAD 75000 MILES ON IT..SO I WENT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND NOW 1 YEAR LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM VISITING MY SON AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA AND MY VAN WAS JERKING WHENEVER IT WAS SHIFTING INTO A DIFFERENT GEAR...AGAIN A GREAT HAZARD ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC WITH CARS GOING 60-90 MILES PER HOUR...THIS IS A GREAT DEFECT ON HONDAS PART WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS...I ONLY HAVE 83000.
