I think you might be stretching a bit. If you had serviced at a Honda dealer, they might be willing to ask. But since they really don't know the quality of your servicing garage, it would be awkward IMHO. Read More...

My Odyssey 2000/189,000 miles

Written by: dragonlady3 on Nov 23, 2009 10:08 AM

I have been reading these posts for over a year. I had to have my 2000 Odyssey transmission replaced at 189,000 miles. I thought that was pretty good mileage for one transmission but now I am wondering if anyone believes that Honda would pick up any of this bill. I have all my service records - I am the only owner, and I have religiously had the van maintained by a private ... Read More...

when you work on the transmission, have them change the rear engine oil seal since the engine is apart and you may also want them to change the water pump impeller. i would call Honda HQ and complain. However, the gate keeper is the Dealer, if you spend money with them with service, they will speak tot he customer service area rep and get you some relief. Read More...

Definitely go direct to American Honda, and continue on to Tokyo Honda if necessary. Be diplomatic but persistent. Read the older posts on this website for how to contact Honda and what has worked and what has not. The sqeaky wheel gets the grease... Your 2000 Ody was covered under one of the class action suits, and even though you are way late, you can check to see ... Read More...

You might get some help from Honda if you have all your service records. They seem to offer 25%-50% help if you open a case. Another option is a Jasper Transmission, this site has a link to it on the left: http://www.odysseytransmission.com/ There are some postings around where people are reporting success with a Jasper Tramsmission. The Honda rebuilt ones will ... Read More...

Honda Odyssey vibration

Re: 2000 Ody LX [hondaody00]

Written by: claim5 on Nov 03, 2009 07:16 AM

Well, I'm surprised that the balancing or new tires didn't solve the problem. Other items involved could be the half-shafts that drive the wheels, a u-joint (but I'd think you'd hear clunking) a bad shaft boot, or yes, even a bad strut. Another possibility is a slightly warped brake rotor. If you take your Honda up to highway speeds and touch the brakes, does the ... Read More...

Showed yesterday to honda dealer ( Honda west, 38th st., Indianapolis, IN) and informed him ... Read More...

2000 Honda Odyssey Won't Start after Short Trip

Written by: bcaruthers on Oct 11, 2009 09:12 AM

Has anyone had trouble with a 2000 Honda Odyssey intermittently not starting after a short trip of 2 or 3 miles and the engine being off for 2 to 5 minutes? The car can be jump started but the dealer can find no problems with battery or alternator. The car has over 100,000 miles and this problem has just started. Read More...
