2001 Honda Odyssey

I HAVE A HONDA ODYSSEY - 92000 MILES - WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES STARTED. CHECK ENGINE AND TCS LIGHTS CAME ON AND D4 LIGHT BLINKING. CALLED HONDA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD, BUT WITHIN THE 100,000 MILES. HONDA HAD RECALLED THIS MODEL AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS, WHICH MEANS THEY DID PUT FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE MODELS. BUT NOW THEY ARE NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTY. WHY LIMIT THE WARRANTY BY TIME. THERE ARE MANY FAMILIES THAT DO NOT USE THE CAR TO DO 100,000 MILES IN 7 YEARS. TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES ARE BASED ON USE SO WHY LIMIT THE WARRANTY TO TIME OF 7-YEARS. IT SHOULD BE LIMITED BY MILEAGE. VERY DISAPPOINTED BY HONDA. *TR

AFTER 137,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION IN MY ODYSSEY WENT BAD. I PUT A REBUILT 2001 TRANSMISSION IN IT, AND GUESS WHAT? YOU GOT IT! THAT ONE WENT BAD AFTER 300 MI. I GOT ZERO HELP FROM HONDA AMERICA AND AS I'M SURE YOU KNOW, AS I DO NOW, THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN THE '99-01 TRANS. NOT THAT I'M EXPECTING ANYTHING FROM THIS, BUT JUST ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL. I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING HONDA AGAIN. BUY AMERICAN. *JB

DRIVING IN I-78 WEST AND SPEED SUDDENLY DECREASED WHILE RPM INCREASED. STEERED OVER TO SHOULDER AND STOPPED. SHIFTED CAR INTO PARK. THEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND VAN WOULD NOT MOVE. RPM INCREASED AGAIN. VAN TOWED OFF HIGHWAY AND THEN EVENTUALLY HOME. TRANSMISSION SHOT PER MECHANIC. TRANSMISSION PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 56,125 MILES. CURRENTLY AT 143,000 MILES. HONDA WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. TOTALLY UNHAPPY WITH HONDA AND WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. *TR

NO CRASH. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSED TRANSMISSION, SAID THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL OR WARRANTY EXTENSION. LOCAL HONDA DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING (AS THE CAR WAS PAST THE WARRANTY EXTENSION) EXCEPT LOWER COST OF REPLACEMENT BY ABOUT 20% (FROM $5400 TO $4500). HAD CURRENT TRANSMISSION REPAIRED BY ANOTHER FIRM, COST $2900. WE HAD NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF WARRANTY EXTENSION. CAR HAD BEEN BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT DURING PERIOD OF WARRANTY EXTENSION (JULY 2009); DEALER "NEGLECTED" TO INFORM ME OF PROBLEM, NOTWITHSTANDING ENTRY OF VIN INTO THEIR DATABASE. THE TERMS OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT REQUIRE NOTIFICATION. MAILING A NOTICE IS A GOOD START, BUT IF A CAR AFFECTED COMES IN, THE DEALER HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY THE OWNER. WE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE BY THE MAIL. THIS WAS NOT DONE, AND I THINK IT'S CRIMINAL. I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE OF HONDA AMERICA, WHO COULD NOT HAVE BEEN LESS INTERESTED IN MY SITUATION, AND OFFERED ME NOTHING. I'M SENDING AN ACCOUNT OF THIS TO LISA MADIGAN, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF IL. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LIGHTS AND OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON. THE MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME. AND THIS AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED IN FEBRUARY OF 2013. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED IN 2007, 2011 AND NOW 2013. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE 2011 AND NOW THEY SAY FOR THE 2013. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAILING SO SOON. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STOPPED IN TRAFFIC. *TR

DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 77 VEHICLE SUDDENLY HAD A RPM SURGE OVER 5RPMS AND PROPULSION WAS LOST WE WERE IN FAST LANE AND HAD TO COAST OVER TO SIDE OF INTERSTATE . NO WARNING OF TRANS FAILURE. CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD ONLY REVERSE WORKED. THE SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS SEMI'S AND OTHER CARS WERE BEHIND US AND BESIDE US. THE CAR JUST LOST ANY FORWARD MOVEMENT. THE TRANSMISSION THAT FAILED WAS A RECALL REPLACEMENT DONE BY HONDA DEALER (STOKE'S HONDA CHARLESTON ,SOUTH CAROLINA) ON 4-29-2008 !!!!! AT THE TIME OF FAILURE CAR HAD 150,000. AT THE TIME OF RECALL TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT CAR HAD 103,000 MILES ON IT WE GOT 47,000 MILES OUT THE TRANSMISSION THAT HONDA REPLACED IN 2008. NO WARNING LIGHTS NO SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. IT JUST DIED. DEALER TOLD US 5000.00 TO REPAIR . HONDA REP SAID SORRY *TR
