2001 Honda Odyssey

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED UNEXPECTEDLY AND THERE WAS EXCESSIVE GEAR SLIPPAGE. IMMEDIATELY, THE EMISSIONS CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND REMAINED LIT UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION'S INTERNAL GEAR RATIO. THE VEHICLE IS OPERABLE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,700.

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I'VE BEEN APPROACHED BY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR WHO WARNED ME THAT AROUND 125 THOUSAND MILES THE TRANSMISSION WOULD START TO ACT UP ON THE VEHICLE AND AT 125 IT DID. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS AND THE DEALER TOLD ME IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE ODYSSEY THIS REPAIR COMES UP TO $3200 HUNDRED DOLLARS. I DON'T THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD FITTING THE BILL FOR A PROBLEM THAT THE DESIGNER KNOWS ABOUT IN THE CAR, SO PLEAS CHECK THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND SEE IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONE THANK YOU *TR

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT HAD A TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN NOV 2006 BY LOCAL HONDA DEALER HERE IN NORTHERN ITALY. THE TRANSMISSION ONLY LASTED 2 YEARS, 2 MONTHS AND 32K MILES. THE 2001 ODYSSEYS WERE GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH COVERED THE FIRST ONE, BUT I'M BEING TOLD I'M OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY, SO THE NEXT TRANSMISSION ISN'T COVERED. AS OF TODAY, THE ODYSSEY ENGINE IS FINE BUT THE TRANSMISSION WON'T ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. IT'S HARD-BROKE. MY CHIEF COMPLAINT IS HONDA NOT REPLACING THE NEW TRANSMISSION THAT ONLY LASTED 2 YEARS. *TR

2001 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH SEVERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN AT 56,000 MILES AND NOW AT 114,000 IT NEEDS ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION. WE GOT STUCK 1 1/2 HOURS FROM HOME AS THE CAR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT RUN - NOO WARNING AT ALL. WE KEEP UP WITH ALL MAINTENANCE. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING FOR AMERICAN HONDA TO CALL US TO SEE HOW WE CAN HELP. BECAUSE OF THEIR WINTER HOLIDAY, WE HAVE NOW HAD TO WAIT 17 DAYS WITHOUT THE CAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SWITCHED INTO NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $3,500. TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO AN UNKNOWN CAUSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 156,000.

IN SEPT 2002 WE PURCHASED A USED 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 12,500 MILES FROM A DEALER IN GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN. IN MAY 2008, WITH ABOUT 78,000 MILES ON IT (AND A VEHICLE INSPECTION BEFORE OUR TRIP)ON AN EXTENDED TRIP OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND 'TCS' LIGHT CAME ON. WE DROVE IT BACK HOME. AFTER THAT WE WOULD NOTICE AFTER EXTENDED DRIVING TIME THERE WOULD BE SHIFTING ISSUES. WE THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO TOLD US WE NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, APPROX $3000. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, WE FOUND OUT RATHER QUICKLY THAT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAD BEEN A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE 2001 ODYSSEY AND THAT NOT UNTIL AFTER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, HONDA AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAD NEVER BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. WE THEN FOUND OUT BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE, WHICH HAD ORIGINALLY BEEN TITLED IN CANADA, BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT, WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. WE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA & WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR US. THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RETURN OUR CALLS. THIS IS A TOTAL SAFETY ISSUE - HONDA IS NOT STANDING BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. WE FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THIS TRANSMISSION - THEY BUILT IT ORIGINALLY - IT SHOULD NOT MATTER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY TITLED. CAN YOU HELP US?*TR
