Re: Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems [charitykw]
Based on the numbers you provide, you have gotten around 200,000 miles (3 times 60-80K) on your 2001 Ody, without having to pay for a transmission replacement. If that's correct, I'd say you've done great. Car parts wear out, and don't last forever. Sounds like it's time to buy another vehicle. (Our 2006 has 125K on it with no problems yet, so not all Ody's are bad.)

Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems
I am on my 3rd failed transmission from Honda with my 2001 Odyssey. It seems they go out every 60,000-80,000 miles. The first two were replaced with a fight all the way, but nevertheless replaced. Now they absolutely wont replace it because they go by the cars milage and years, not the transmissions. I'm so frustrated and definitely would like to be a part of a class action suit if it ...

Ground clearance
I've been going back and forth between the Honda and Toyota for the past month. The Odyssey seemed to be the winner with better fuel efficiency, a better ride, I actually like the exterior look and the interior felt roomier and of higher quality. I WAS leaning that way even though I am a bit disappointed in the lack of options (no back-up cam on EX and no roof rails on ... 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

Five Transmission Repairs, 4 Transmissions in a 2001
Bought a new 2001 Odyssey. First transmission problem was at 31,000 miles, they replaced solenoid switches. Transmission failed and was replaced at 34,000 miles. Transmission 2 failed at 59,000 miles and was replaced. Transmission 3 failed at 113,000 miles and was replaced. Transmission 4 failed at 150,000 miles and Honda says "go jump in the lake." Odyssey is totally worthless, have to sell for scrap. I bought a new Sienna.

Re: just beginning to look for an Odyssey [bcable]
Don't even think about buying an ODY. Go to google and type in Ody transmission problems/issues. I had a 2001 with 68000 miles and the tranny failed, the engine mounts were broke,etc. Will never buy Honda again.

Re: 2001 Odyssey LX Road Test [mfriday]
Absolutely, Walk away as quick as you can...Don't even think about buying this ODY. The transmission has failed or is about to fail and you will get stuck paying a $5000 bill to repair. Go to google and type in Ody transmission problems/issues. I had a 2001 with 68000 miles and the tranny failed, the engine mounts were broke,etc. Will never buy Honda again.

Re: 2011 Honda Odyssey Vibration in ECO [ciao888]
My 2005 odyssey has exactly this issue since 30,000. Now at 82,000,the problem is more noticeable. This happens when car is still cold, cruise between 35 to 45 MPH on incline. Yes, RPM was low. I never had this problem after 30 minutes of driving. Also, if I turn off o/d, the problem disappears so I am certain,it has nothing to do with engine mounts. I drove stick shift before. When ...

The bad part about this is that Honda will replace your current transmssion with the same transmission that has already failed. It is useless, so you are stuck with a vehicle that in the end is still useless ... Read More

Re: Best value model year for a honda odyssey [bohlig]
Used Hondas usually aren't very good buys... High resale will do that to a car.. Getting a new 2008 model, with the big incentives, is the probably the most cost effective over the long-term... You'll get full use of the standard 3yr, and the 5yr powertrain warranties.. New Odysseys are cheaper now than they were in 2001.... Just my $0.02

2001 Odyssey
I replaced the transmission serveal years ago at 107,000 miles. I was very disatisfied that the recall only covered vehicles up to 100,000 miles (having owned Toyotasand Nissans that ran smoothly to 200,000 miles). Imagine my shock and horror when the second rebuilt transmission recently failed. The cost of both repairs total $6800. According to various mechanics, this vehicle has the internal make-up of the Accord which is a much lighter ... Read More

Odyssey 2001
Transmission failure for this car seems to be very common, however, Honda has decided to ignore people who have owned these car longer than 7 years and 6 months.

This posture from Honda does not do any good for consumer loyalty. I will ... Read More

Re: Odyssey 2011 Transmission: OK now?? [gene00]
I think the Nissan Quest looks great, personal taste. However, I agree in that it has a so-so reliability record. I still maintain the Odyssey is unbeatable -- great steering, perfect ride (firm, very European), smooth transmission, and one of the best engines out there with fuel economy to match -- except for the obvious tranny design fault. How can Honda ignore this? Convince us all they've fixed the tranny and ... Read More

Re: 2001 Honda Odyssey SECOND failed transmissio [longo2]
I like your advice on changing the tranny fluid every year or 15,000 miles. My question is, if you change the fluid that often do you really need extra filtering (Magnafine filter)? The tranny drain plug is a magnet and it should catch the little bit of metal in the fluid between fluid changes. I know it is extra insurance but do you really need it with regular fluid servicing?
-
Re: 2001 Honda Odyssey SECOND failed transmissio [jena4]
Even for Honda, 2 trannys in 100,000 miles is depressing...get on the phone and do some shopping for another rebuilder that has a good warranty. I'm sure you can beat that $5,000 quote easily. Then when you get your Ody back, don't ignore the tranny, it's very easy to do, but don't! Change the fluid every year, install a Magnefine filter on the return line to catch the wear and tear ...

2001 Honda Odyssey SECOND failed transmissio
At 56K (Nov 2006) had transmission replaced under warranty. Now, at 93K (Dec 2010) transmission failed again, and Honda America refuses to help based on mileage and age of car. We hav only ever owned Hondas, which meant nothing to them. The new transmission was quoted at $4985 + $500 for new engine mount. They have us over a barrel.

Re: 2001 Odyssey transmission failure [longo2]
Interesting you should say that because when I took my Odyssey into Honda for transmission service recently they used DW-1 and not the old Z-1. The curious part is that when they do a tranny fluid "flush" that only gets out about 1/5th of the fluid. To completely "change" the fluid you have to do a procedure detailed at accuratecars.com. Essentially you drain, fill, and drive 5 times to get rid ... Read More

Re: 2001 Odyssey transmission failure [2005honda]
tHOnda has finally figured out what many re-builders have been saying for years. "Don't use the Z1 fluid." HOnda has now discontinued it and replaced it with DW1..a synthetic. Great, 10 years of burn up clutch packs and torque converters and finally they get it.

Re: 2001 Odyssey transmission failure [junk_tranny]

There are several major problems they are not dealing with and simply can't afford to do it right by their products any more. Meaning that Honda is only as good as any other ... Read More

Similar to my story. My 2001 tranny died at 91K about 1 year ago (although in hindsight it was showing signs of problems before that...wish I had that 20/20 back then).

Re: 2001 Odyssey - Recall question [ark_honda_fan]
"Also - any Odyssey owners out there NOT have tranny problems? I would like to think that since I haven't had problems yet, maybe I won't, but I've read enough comments on here to know that it could go at anytime." Yes of course MOST Odyssey owners have not had tranny problems. I realize you're using hyperbole, but I think its safe to say that the vast majority of Odysseys out ... Read More

Re: 2001 Odyssey - Recall question [ark_honda_fan]
We may be one of the exceptions, as we have not had any transmission problems with our 2000 Odyssey. We currently have 270k miles on it. Before purchasing our van my husband had read some complaints about the transmission. So, when we went to purchase our Odyssey we paid to have an ATF cooler installed. Now, whether or not that has had anything at all to do with our good fortune, ... Read More

2001 Odyssey - Recall question
Hi all, new to the board here. I bought a 2001 Odyssey a few months back. It has 79,000 and was a one owner vehicle until I bought it. All service and maintenance was done at the dealer on schedule and the owner said he never had any transmission problems, I have not had any problems with the transmission yet in the 4 months/4000 miles I have put on it. For ... Read More

Re: 2010 Honda Odyssey..interior features [hogan773]
Hi Hogan773, The console in the 2001 T&C is removable. In place it prevents one from going to the rear. The 2001 T&C console can also go between the 2nd row seats. Very innovative!

Burst Quality Bubble
Cloudman: I feel the same way. I bought out 07 oddy thinking it would serve us into retirement and beyond. I'm not so sure now. This transmission converter issue seems to be wide spread throughout the 2005-2010 model years and subject to failure at any time or miles. I have read of them coming directly off the showroom with the converter judder. Mine initally failed at around 5,000 miles and made ... Read More

TRADED IN MY LAST HONDA BECAUSE OF PAX
Not to bore anyone here, but just in case anyone from Honda ever checks this forum: I traded in my fourth and LAST Odyssey following the PAX settlement. Although I think the Ody is the best vehicle in the world for a family, the settlement that paid lawyers and did absolutely nothing for loyal customers was the last straw for me. I owned four Odysseys from 2001-2009 and two of them ... Read More

Re: 2001 honda odyssey maint' required light [haidoan70]
I'll be the jerk: READ THE MANUAL. It's in there. Or follow these instructions: Turn off the engine. Press and hold the select/reset button in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON (Position II). Hold the button for at least 10 seconds, until the indicator resets.

Re: Another 2000 hits the dust, with 114k miles.... [moose123]
I, like others, bought a Honda because I wanted a vehicle that would go the extra distance. I own a 2001 Honda Odyssey. I looked at a lot of mini vans-Fords, Mazdas, etc. I bought a Honda hoping to reach the 200,000 mile mark. At 148,000 the tranny went. Now I know that is a lot of miles, but a friend owns a 1999 Sienna and has 217,000 miles. No major ... Read More

Re: 2001 Odyssey - 2nd Transmission Failure [geoff4224]
I had the van towed to the Honda dealership where I had it serviced and they have confirmed that it will need a new transmission. Honda has offered to pay 10%, I have asked for more (through the dealership, I haven't spoken with Honda directly) and they said they would get back to me tomorrow. If they cover 20% it will put the cost in line with having the independent transmission ... Read More

Re: 2001 Odyssey - 2nd Transmission Failure [geoff4224]
Spoke with a well-respected non-dealer repair shop here specializing in Honda & Acura vehicles. They only put "H&A" transmissions back into Odysseys and have found those last much better than Honda transmissions.

FLUSHING the transmission? That is the method Honda advises not to use. It has to be drain and fill three times.

2001 Odyssey - 2nd Transmission Failure
I bought a 2001 Odyssey used from the original owner in May 2008. I knew from Consumer Reports about the bad transmission so I bought one that had already had the transmission replaced under warranty at 82,560 miles. I thought that the replacement transmissions would not be defective like the originals. Now with 117,820 miles on the van and 35,260 (and 3 years, 3 months) since the new transmission, the second ...

Re: 2001 odyssey transmission problem [bty2]
Honda is not likely to cover the whole cost of your TX, unless you are also within the time limit of the extended warranty (7 years, 9 months)...not likely. I am in a similar situation. Van (2001) is 7 months outside of extended warranty period, but 19,000 miles under the mileage limit. They'll cover some, but not all. And, I pay labor. I am sucking it up, as I could not ...

2001 odyssey transmission problem
I have a 2001 Honda Odyssey which just have 65,000 miles. I recently notice it transmission oil. The Honda dealer checked it up and told me that I need to replace the whole transmission. I felt really bad until I read some post in this forum thread. Looks like there was a recall for 99~01 Odyssey model just because of transmission issue. Can anyone who had prior experience with Honda America ... Read More

2001 Odyssey Transmission
I never thought it would happen to my HONDA, the all mighty dependable, ever lasting car. The trans ran out last week. Took it to dealer and did the diagnose with check engine light. Code was for "torque converter solenoid failure", which according to the dealer means "dead". Contacted the Honda and pretty much got screwed. I am at 74k, way under the 109k miles nut over on the time. Honda ... Read More

Odyssey 2002 Transmission slips
Honda used to mean "runs forever" as we can see in this forum its not the case. 89,000 miles, just over 10k use a year, and the tranmission needs replacing.

Honda America says too bad it wasnt a 2001 (part of a $350 million recall) although they acknowldge nothing really changed with the 2002 model . Local dealer and ... Read More

Re: 2007 honda odessey transmission issues [rdoud]
Same issue with me, except 2001 Odyssey, 90K miles. A month ago they serviced the TX fluid twice. Over the last month that's improved the problem quite a bit, but not fully. Today took it back, and they said replace the TX. Honda of America would cover 25% of the cost of the TX itself. Still, total out of pocket would be about $3200. If the only time I sense a ...

Re: PLEASE HELP!!!!! [dannyj1]
Stay away from this lemon. Honda Odyssey from 1999-2004 are known for their faulty transmissions. I currently own a 02 Odyssey EXl and had to fix my transmission this past July 09. The cost of repairs was $3200 at AAMCO Transmission. The sad thing was their was another Odyssey, 2001 model, on a lift with a bad transmission at the shop. My Odyssey had only 41200 miles when the transmission started ... Read More

Re: Odyssey 00 transmission [elfe]
Sorry to hear our story repeated again. Our 2001 van was one of those covered under the 109,000 mile extended warranty and we had done all our maintenance with the local Honda dealer. The most important part was that the dealer had all the service records, including oil changes, and it was very apparent that we had maintained the car according to Honda's specs. Basically, the dealership's service manager was the ... Read More

One more Odyssey Transmission bites the dust.
Error Code: A/T DTC P0740 After reading some of this blog I am not encouraged and certainly shouldn't be surprised by the failure of my van's transmission, but I was! Yesterday my Honda dealer delivered the news that we needed to replace the transmission on our 2003 Odyssey and it would cost $4,360 + tax (about $4,600 total). The van has 88,000 miles. About 2,000 miles ago we were out of ... Read More

2nd Failure!
The second transmission on my 2001 Odyssey failed this weekend! It gave us just a few minutes of funny noises and then locked up. We were on a hilly part of a country road where speeds go up to 55-60 mph! There were no berms, no where to pull off--the steep hills were on either side of the road. It was a very curvy road, hilly road -- a dangerous and ... Read More

Not true. My sister's 2001 Ody EX has 120,000 miles and has had NO transmission problems. The 01 Ody EX with 120,000 miles still drives and handles better than my overpriced 2006 Sienna LE that has only 31,011 miles on it and ALL Odyssey seats are more comfortable than the seats in my Toyota Junk..

Odyssey transmission fix ?
With all of these posts involving multiple transmission replacements per vehicle, is there a true FIX ? Have the replacement transmissions been re- engineered to prevent a repeat of the problem, or do they sell you another defective tranny good for maybe 100K ? My 99 had a trans replaced ( free from Honda) at 185,000. Unfortunately, my son wrecked the car at 210,000. I assumed the replacement trans was also ... Read More

Have also had a 2001 Odyssey basic model and have 102,000 on it. Transmission replaced at 48,000, as expected. Looking for a new used Odyssey or Sienna. Test drove two 2006s today (EXl and Limited) The Sienna gives a softer ride than the Odyssey. The Odyssey felt more on the road and handled better to me. The Odyssey second seats slide forward to give more leg room to third seat passengers. ... Read More
