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

2003 Honda Odyssey Transmission Issue
My Odyssey's automatic transmission is malfunctioning. I am looking for advice. According to my mechanic, who does not service transmissions, the code is 730. He contacted a transmission repair shop in Portland, OR for me and I took the car in last week. It supposedly was fixed and ready to go on Friday afternoon. I picked it up just before closing. According to the shop, they replaced all the solenoids (which ... Read More

Re: 07 just joined the list! 1/1/2012 [buickboy]
Most of us older Odyssey owners thought tht HOnda had their a/t isues worked out by 2007, but your sad story tells a different tale. The last Consumer Reports I looked at showed the 2007 as having tranny problems, but not the 99's up to 2004, the worst years! Strange indeed, but Honda always did seem to get a pass from CR for some reason. I think hundreds of thousands of ... Read More

Re: 2004 Odyssey Transmission shuddering [superchicken]
It turns out the the van was slipping in/out of gear between 3 & 4. We had to have the transmission re-built for a cost of $2,000 from a local shop with much experience rebuilding and replacing Odyssey transmissions. He compared Honda van transmission problems to the Chrysler Van transmission problems that Used to Be common (based on what he sees at his shop). He's redone many Odyssey transmissions lately.

P0720 a costly code
I recently had the check engine light come on and the D indicator flash on my 2004 Odyssey with 89k miles on it. The dealer pulled the dreaded P0720 code and is recommending a new tranny. I strongly expressed my disappointment as I've had the trans fluid flushed 3 times so far by the dealer to avoid this very situation. They offered to do me a favor by telling me to ... Read More

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: 2004 Odyssey Transmission shuddering [superchicken]
First of all when you go to a dealer they should be able to drive the vehicle and be able to diagnose what is going on. Why would they pull the transmision apart to find the problem when this is a known problem. When they drive it and know it is the transission. You do one of two things you have the transmission rebuilt or you put in a remanufactured one ... Read More

Re: 2004 Odyssey Transmission shuddering [hilapat12]
Van has 150,000 miles. It started 1.5 years ago at +/- 120,000 miles. I took it to the honda dealer at that time and was told to wait until it got worse (it has) as without a code, they would have to take the transmission apart to figure out the problem---big money to make a diagnosis according to the dealership.

Re: 2004 Honda Odyssey engine stops while driving [rphlady]
FWIW: I haven't had the problem since I last posted. The only thing I did was really maintenance on the battery. I think our battery wasn't getting it's full charge as it should have been. The water cells in the battery were half empty, so after filling them back up to correct levels, and driving a couple of days to the battery could catch up on charging, I haven't noticed the ...

Re: 2004 Honda Odyssey engine stops while driving [rphlady]
I have the exact same problem. Just had it tested yesterday, and they could find nothing wrong. My Honda dealership didn't even drive the van, which is frustrating, that's the only time I see the issue is when driving. If I find anything out, I'll post here.

Honda says it "could be" the ignition switch, but they won't replace it unless it tests bad. They continue to say NOTHING is wrong with the van.

I am also having similar problem with 2004 Honda Odyssey. It is becoming more frequent - twice it stopped on highway (the power came back quickly) and over the Thanksgiving Holidays it stopped completely on the local roads. I will get the Faulty Main Relay checked. Do you know how the dealer conducted a "No communication test"?

Yes we had to replace the transmission on an 2002 Odyssey with under 101,000 miles for $4,600. This car has been serviced regularly since new at the Honda dealership, and I'm hoping that Honda will come forth to help. If it had gone even 150,000 miles I would have been pleased, but my concern now is what else would go as the car is not worth much more on a trade ... Read More

Re: 2004 Honda Odyssey transmission - Help?? [sassafrass1219]
sassafrass, You absolutely need to dump the car! The replacement transmission is no better than the original that came with car. Honda knew about this defect when they sold us the van. Mine had 68K when it went out. There was a class action lawsuit on this and Honda lost the judgement to the tune of $90 million. Look at the Toyota or other brand.

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 ...

Re: One more dead '04 [reggie1966]
I bought my 2004 Odyssey as a Honda certified car with 19,000 miles on it in 2006. In hindsight, I have imagined that someone else heard about the transmission problems and traded theirs in. Anyway, their good luck was my bad luck. I first started noticing the slippage at about 125,000 miles in Spring 2010. We had the 4th gear pressure switch fixed at 130,000 miles (over $200)...but it didn't fix ... Read More

Will they give me that information?

That write-up is severely flawed. First, if they drove an Ody priced like their Sienna, it would have come with a lesser 5 speed transmission, hurting both acceleration and fuel economy.

Well I followed up and called the Honda dealer in ... Read More

Re: Is this a good price for Odyssey 2008? [minivan4kids]
minivan4kids, I still think that's high especially if it's private party and too close to new. Believe it or not dealers would rather you finance a new vehicle than pay cash as they get money for booking a loan and nothing for cash. What you might want to do, if your credit scores are not bad, is buy new, put say $15K or so down, get a 60 month loan interest ... Read More

Re: Any insight? [ingridr]
We've gone to a lot of dog shows in our 2002 Honda Odyssey. The 2004 Odyssey could serve you well, especially if you could get them down ~1500.00 or so. Run a CarFax on anything you buy. A lot of our show friends have the Sienna. Others have the Odyssey. Good luck on your search.

95k miles and one week after the Honda Care warranty expired based on time (6 years), BAM! This is my fifth Honda, but my first Odyssey.

Odyssey Transmission
My brother in law has a 2005 Odyssey Exl +Navi + Dvd with over 90K miles. I helped him buy this van back in late 2004. He has no transmission issues.

My 94 and 99 accord does have hard shifting trannies, but there ... Read More

Re: Honda Odyssey Transmission and other issues [srican]
I'm not an expert, rfreitas, but I think I know my vehicle histories and reputations. In 2004, Honda came out with their 5-speed automatic transmission that eventually was used in all their models. The '04 Odyssey was the first Honda minivan to use this transmission, and their problems dramatically declined. Earlier model Odyssey's, like my 2000, used a 4-speed automatic. I just started reading these message on the Odyssey transmission problems, ... Read More

Re: Another transmission failure [gigs727]
"I demanded that they help more than that" Wow, you've got a mean streak in you if you approached Honda USA like that. Hey, I also own a 02 Odyssey but my transmission failed over this past summer at only 41500 miles. Far less than your 80000 miles and cost me $3200 at AAMCO transmission repair shop. Honda dealers gave me quotes between $5000-$6500. I also call Honda USA to complained ... Read More

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.

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

Re: Honda Odyssey 2004 Idle problems [dang_tri]

Re: 2009 Honda Odyssey Engine Knock [davidvanman]
Honda does have a Maintence Bulliten from 2004 or so that my dealer found. If you think your engine consumes too much oil they have a program that aloows the dealer to do an oil consumption test (replace filter and oil every 1000 miles) and measure consumption. This is at no cost to you or the dealer and covered under warranty. Did not get an answer on what is done if ... Read More

I was worried these ... Read More

Re: 2004 Honda Odyssey Transmission [pyk64]

It also looks to me that a high priced Honda dealer replacement even with 50% help which some get is over-priced and doesn't have fixes in place to prevent a repeat in a few 10,000's of miles. Someone posted from an independent shop in TN who uses a transmission company which has put fixes in place to ... Read More

Re: 2004 Honda Odyssey Transmission [nepal]
Do an internet search on the Hondy Odyssey transmission issues. One of the sites has a field where you can put you VIN in and see if it's covered. The dealers are actually pretty good to work with and they can do the leg work for you. The response from Honda of America will be the wildcard. At that mileage (and if it's a transmission issue), they will most likely cover ... Read More

Re: 2011 Ody vs 2011 Sienna [jim1462]
How do you figure? In 2004, Toyota released the same basic Sienna you can buy today. Honda's current Odyssey came out a year later, for 2005. The current Camry came out a year before the current Accord. The Corolla and Civic aren't even close to the same schedule for redesign. When one comes out doesn't necessarily mean "instant failure" if the other brand doesn't debut a new model at the same ... Read More

Re: 2004 Honda Odyssey Transmission Shutter [candyman87]
Candyman---I've done a decent bit of research on this in the past few weeks. I'm not a mechanic by any means but the technicians with whom I've spoken have indicated that a clogged/dirty EGR valve can generate a shudder that is VERY similar to the early signs of a torque converter failure. Read this blog, and the comments/responses as well: http://accuratecars.com/blog/2008/11/26/excessive-engine-vibration-with-eco-on-t- he-honda-odyssey-ex-l-and-honda-odyssey-touring/ .
