Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems

Re: Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems [imidazol97]
First of all, no one makes better transmissions than GM; I consider them the standard, so I agree with your Buick example. I've been watching the posts here, as a 2006 Ody owner. My point is that nearly all the problems with Ody transmissions are with those thru 2004, until they redesigned the Ody in 2005 model year. So telling everyone to avoid ALL Odys is not a responsible message to ... Read More

Re: Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems [johnmanyjars]
Maybe now they are designing for 200K, but that 2001 Odyssey was designed in 1999-2000 timeframe, 12 years ago. And most domestic 2001 vehicles would have been in the junk yard after two transmissions.

Re: Honda Odyssey 2010 EX...WORST VEHICLE IN 35 YEARS! [blackexv6]
I have a 2002 Odyssey which I bought new in Canada. The 1999-2004 was called LaGreat in Japan with V6 engines. The 2005-2012 built in Alabama are Japanese Dylson (I think this is the name[ see web site below]). The Odyssey minivans without sliding doors have and are still built in Japan with both 4 and 6 cyl engines. They are not the same style as the USA Odyssey (which really ... Read More

Re: Honda Odyssey 2010 EX...WORST VEHICLE IN 35 YEARS! [blackexv6]
Undersized brake rotors and undersized transmissions do count in quality control, design, and reliability. Engineers that work for Honda of America while designing the Accord and Odyssey were NOT intelligent enough to realize that larger vehicles will need larger components, and the problems exist quickly and spooked all the once, loyal Honda customers. The Honda Japanese engineers in Japan would caught this problem faster than what the Honda American engineers could ... Read More

Re: Honda Odyssey 2010 EX...WORST VEHICLE IN 35 YEARS! [waltchan]
It's not Honda's faulty quality control in North America. The problem is with the design of the "big" North American vehicles vs. the smaller 4-cyl versions in Asia/Europe. Honda never spent proper time studying the effects of undersized brake rotors and undersized transmission components. Best example is Honda "slapping" Accord brakes & transmission in a 4500lb. Odyssey in the 1999-2001 model years. Epic failure! As far as I can tell, the ... Read More

Re: Honda Odyssey 2010 EX...WORST VEHICLE IN 35 YEARS! [oldsalt_buyer]
It's because the Honda Odyssey is produced and engineered in the United States. Most of the common problems could have been avoided if it was produced in Japan instead. Since 1999, the Odyssey has ALWAYS been Honda's least-reliable car model. Honda's USA quality (meaning Honda cars produced in North America) is DIFFERENT to Honda's Japan quality (produced in Japan), despite how many people will disagree or deny this claim, and I ...

Buying used: What year model to avoid known transmission problems?
Hi all; I am soon to be in the market for a used minivan. My last 2 vans were Toyota Previas. I had my heart set on an Odyssey until I started reading about all the known transmission problems. My budget is tight, around $4000, so I am going to end up with something considerably older. My question is, is there a "safe" period for the Odyssey before the transmission problems ... Read More

Re: 2002 Odyssey---New Owner [markleo]
As an owner of a 1999 Odyssey, and my experience as a tech tells me: 1.) Install a quality after market cooler, and service the transmission using Honda's new synthetic fluid. 2.)Drain and refill, Flushing is a waste of money and fluid in my opinion. 3.)Service it now, again in a month, and then annually. The oil jet service campaign refers to a fix to keep the second gear cooler. As ... Read More

I went to https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com and developed a service record profile. As you have noticed, Honda is not forthcoming with the schedule.

Re: I sued Honda in Small Claims Court and Won [pgnagel]
I'm sorry my friend, Hayden's website shows they do not have a cooler for the 2007 Odyssey. They do have them for the 2007 Accord, Pilot, and Ridgeline. And they do have them for 1999-2004 Odyssey.

Re: I sued Honda in Small Claims Court and Won [ignorisbliss]
Check out the Hayden website and ask them which one you need: http://www.haydenauto.com/ROOT-Home/Content.aspx The compatibility issue concerns hose and fitting placement, and clearances at the radiator. I'm sure thye can tell you which one will fit your vehicle. I know the 678 fits my 1999 Odyssey.

Re: 01 Accord LX 2.3L with AT Transmission problems [spdrcr61]
Use ONLY Honda fluid. I did the same thing with our 1999 Odyssey years ago and it was a mess. The Honda fluid has more friction modifiers in it, allowing for smoother shifts. Honda has recently switched over to a synthetic fuild, which should give a longer service life. Also, it sounds like your second and third shift soleniods are plugging up. It's a little work on the outside of the ... Read More

Re: I sued Honda in Small Claims Court and Won [2005honda]

RE:Advice on buying older Sienna/MPV/Odyssey
Toyota is known for engine sludge as well for most of the V6 from 1999-2002. I once was looking at $4-5K older mini van It cost a lot to fix honda's tranny issue but maybe less for Chrysler. As for Toyota engine, it usually cost around $2-3K to overhaul. Both Toyota and Honda also has power door problem as well

Re: Bought 2008 Touring w/o PAX in Seattle [obrien040362]
The residual was 56%. I expect that the van will be worth more than that at lease-end, so I may have some equity toward the next car at lease-end. Leasing can be better or worse than purchasing--there are lots of factors: the car, your financial situation, your expected usage of the car, how much the lease (or purchase) is subsidized by the manufacturer and how (lower money factor vs. elevated residual), ...

Re: Honda Odyssey 2006 with 75000 miles [fuvang]
I would still service it again. It's a relatively cheap attempt to save the converter. A new one is $700 (rebuilt units are around $200) plus 10 hours labor to install it. That's pretty expensive. In my opinion the service interval is too long for these units. I serviced ours several times a year and it lasted 190,000 miles before a clutch disk let go and trashed a couple bearings. By ...

We bought a 1999 Honda Odyssey new (the first year of the "big Odyssey"). I thought the first-year issue was a non-issue for Honda.

On the good side, Honda and the dealer stood by the product and worked tirelessly to fix the problems; the tranny was replaced free under an ... Read More

With all this talk of tubes and screens, I should probably chime in. The tranny case is apart, the clutch baskets are empty, and I have for sure found the grumpy bearing.

When tearing down the ... Read More

Re: 133,000 Miles (And Not Going Strong) [writestuff]
Jasper sells rebuilt transmissions for the Honda. A replacement for my 1999 Odyssey would cost $2,790, and includes a transmission fluid coller, which is really a must for these gearboxes. The rebuilt unit has a 3 year, 100,000 mile warranty. My mechanic can do the transmission swap for around $1,000 more, but any other shop should be about the same. Expensive? Of course. Transmissions are expensive, even more expensive than an ... Read More

Re: Problems [sandman_6472]

It is essentially a computer controlled manual gearbox, ... Read More

Oh, and it was built in Indiana and I've never any issues with it, other ... Read More

Re: Odyssey 1999 thermostat [lasem]
For future reference as this thread was posted a while ago I just would like to add in Ottawa Canada this thermostat from the Honda dealership is $75, so I'm surprise because all of the dealerships in Ontario the cost should be the same.

Re: 2002 Odyssey, Transmission, 8 Months Old [rfreitas]
I had a 2001 Honda Odyssey model. The transmission was failed two days ago. I am the original owner of the van and nobody ever info me that there was a recall for the transmission. When I called the dealership when the problem was happened, they even didn't tell me there is recall and they simply told me the warranty is expired and I had to pay between $3500 to $4000 ...

Re: 2002 Odyssey, Transmission, 8 Months Old [scottr5]
There was a recall on the 2002 for one part of the transmission, so if you have had that done you will probably be in the same boat as the rest of us. From what my case manager told me if you have proof that you have done all of the maintenance (tranmission flush every 35K or whatever it is) Honda will cover more. My case I didn't have any reciepts ... Read More

Re: Cousin's Ody [ateixeira]
Yes, hers is an LX, but she had the dealer swap out the stereo for a 6CD changer. To be honest I'm not sure if it's a Honda stereo or not, but it was installed by a Honda dealer. I had to reach around the shifter, as I don't think the LX has those audio buttons on the steering wheel (my Sienna LE does). No, the LX (about equivalent to a ... Read More

Guide for Asking for Honda Trans Assistance
Hi; The dealer right now is putting in my reman. transmission for my 1999 odyssey (115K miles). $2700 is what they are asking. I did get the P0740 code and the TCS light. Last September, however, I got the same code on the engine light; took it in, they said it was nothing. This would have been just 3 months after the class action settlement deadline for my purchase date, the ... Read More

http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com/1999-to-2004-honda-odyssey-2.htm Consumer Guide Auto says: Automatic transmission problems prompted to company to extend warranty coverage to 7 years/100,000 miles. (2000-03) Is this true? If so, why are so many of us with 2002/2003 Odysseys under 100K having money problems. Or am I misunderstanding something here. xhonzi

Re: 2003 odyssey trans problems [d5kids]
I had the same problems. I think the best thing to do is go to the dealer. Since you have 100,000 miles your car may not be under warranty anymore. What year is your Odyssey? The lawsuit and recall covers 1999-2001, but the 2002 and newer are not covered. That is where I am having problems. You can contact Honda Care (800-999-5901) for extended warranty service or the Honda Customer relations ... Read More

Re: 2002 Honda Odyssey (Transmission Code P0740) [taggerty]
Oh yeah, we are mad over here too. Honda needs to be responsible for this. The common denominator is Honda Odyssey and bad transmissions. You would think that after all the trouble in 1999 they would have remedied the problem, but from the amount of complaints on this site it seems that they did not.

Re: New Tranny for 01' Leaking at first/Now OK & Dealers Actual Costs! [dino24t]
I have had the same issue on a 2002 Odyssey (64k miles). The transmission started to slip and the 'check engine' light went on. We took it to the dealer who told us the engine control module (the computer) and the transmission needed to be replaced. The cost was over $4,000! However, after contacting Honda they offered to pay 75% for “goodwill.” I thought that this did not make any sense, ... Read More

Re: 08 Tranny issues? [jtk152]
That's what I want to know... is anyone having problems with the 08' model? One would think that Honda would change which trannies they use after such a disaster with the previous models.

Re: 2001 Transmission needs replacement [andyjen]
Get rid of the 2001 Odyssey with high mileage. There is no comparison of reliability of the low-powered, small, lightweight, spartan Civics and Accords with the complex modern, heavier, high powered Odyssey with MORE nice features. The Odyssey is a relatively NEW experience for a company that morphed from motorcycles and lawnmowers into frugal little sedans and now Odysseys, MDXs, Pilots, and Ridgelines.

General Honda Odyssey Reviews
I could find no other place to poat my message!

Some what rotating seats the same as the Chryslers; but there is no leg room for a minivan ... Read More

Re: 2000 Odyssey - transmission issue - partially covered by Honda [dino24t]
Crash course on motor mounts: The motor mounts stabilize the vibrations given off by the engine. In particular there is one at the front (behind the radiator on 2002+ models, I think on the passenger side on 1999-2001 models...) that is actually active and controlled by the computer. It's a fluid filled hydraulic motor mount with a vacuum line going to it that will become stiffer or softer depending on what ... Read More

Hi, If it were me, I would buy the OEM if possible. I don't know if they ship to Canada or not, but I buy from Majestic Honda at HondaAutomotiveParts.com. They list the thermostat for the 1999 Odyssey at $24.75USD. You might try shopping other Honda dealers, because Honda list price is around $35. Good luck.

Re: Transmission issues [angelaychu]
I really don't think it's reasonable for anyone to expect Honda to extend their warranty beyond 100,000, if that is what you purchased. If your tranny craps out at 90,000 miles and they replace it, then you have 10,000 miles left on your warranty, not another 100,000 miles on the rebuilt one. You cannot expect things to last forever. Our 1999 Odyssey has 140,000 and the original tranny. I service that ... Read More

Re: Experience with 2000 Odyssey [mkunze]
It was a class-action lawsuit that forced Honda to repair some of these Odysseys. That may have been the case with some of the other recalls, but Honda did extend the warranty for their transmissions for the the 1999/2000 models way before 2006. the notice I got from them was sometime in 2001/2002. Much before the 2006 class action.

Re: Transmission Question [o3ody] by autowrite [autowrite] [msane]
Hi, I was told by my Honda Dealer that the only way they will warranty the transmission on my 1999 Odyssey is if the transmission light goes on and the computer gives the code for a bad transmission. This is frustrating because the transmission obviously has problems related to the year/model recall that you are all talking about, but the light is not on. The transmission consistently slips, shifts very hard, ... Read More

good post
I believe the Ridgeline (and I assume the pilot?) have a different (ie stronger) tranny design, that was finally adopted for the Odyssey (2007?) So you are right that eventually the '05-'06 models will start failing. At least Honda has set a precedent, and would have trouble arguing that if the older models were bad, and they kept using the same design, that it is now the customers fault when it ... Read More

Re: '02 Ody tranny leak [ehmgvs]
First thing, check the fluid level when it is warm (i.e. returning from running around town). Make sure you have enough fluid in the transmission! Low fluid levels can be fatal to any moving parts. Check the drain plug to make sure it's tight! Did you hit anything with the van (a big rock, a curb, even a big stick in the road)? If so the case may be damaged, although ... Read More
