Written by: phlion79 on Nov 20, 2009 07:57 AM

FYI the NHTSA on Oct. 19, 2009 upgraded the status of an inquiry it is doing into 2007/08 squishy odyssey brakes, citing several reports of people being unable to stop their odyssey b/c the brake pedal hits the floor before the vehicle stops (link to upgrade notice below). This upgrade in the status require Honda to produce a lot of documentation. I talked w/ a guy ... Read More...

Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems

Re: 2010 Odyssey transmission [odydvdnav]

Written by: phlion79 on Nov 10, 2009 08:49 AM

All I know is the "judder" service bulletin (09-051 (or is it 053?)) from late July of this year I believe only goes through 2009 vehicles -- in talking w/ the service guy, his sense is the software upgrade redefined shift points, and this takes care of the problem. I don't understand why this is so hard for Honda to get right -- this is age old tech. I got my 07 back last ... Read More...

Thanks BigDadi118 - We've researched this option already, and even contacted local N.C. "Lemon Lawyers". It's necessary to pass the required :3X+in or 20 total business days in the repair shop period to qualify for "Lemonhood". Meanwhile, our distress continues as it is a week since we pickedup the new Van and it's still languishing at the AutoDealer Repair ... Read More...

02 Odyssey Idle

Written by: aomorales on Nov 04, 2009 08:17 PM

Hello, everybody I am just new here at the forum but I am an owner of 02 Odyssey. We have bought the van last May, 2009 since my suv was totaled. Me and my wife decided to look for a weekend car since we already owned two cars and we need a bigger space when traveling out of town. We bought the van thru Craigslist.com for 6.9K. The owner listed the van with a 99k miles, brand ... Read More...

Honda Odyssey Lease Questions

Re: New Incentives [jrw118]

Written by: Car_man on Nov 04, 2009 03:16 AM

Hi jrw118. Honda is not providing any cash incentives at all on the 2010 Odyssey in November, just a special lease program. It is difficult to predict exactly when Honda will introduce cash on the '10 Odyssey. Honda did introduce cash on the 2009 Odyssey in January of this year, but there's no guarantee that it will do so with the '10 model in a couple of months. Car_man ... Read More...
