Replying to: jchan2 (Feb 07, 2009 9:39 pm) What data are you basing this on? Having been sociable on all the Ody forums around the net since buying our '05, I've seen one instance of an '05 tranny grenading and a couple replaced due to seal leaks....all at very low mileage. In recent months, I've seen two different posts of '07 trannys being replaced. It's certainly nothing like the Ody trannys from years past where it's more surprising that the tranny DIDN'T crash. I know they switched to the 4-shaft transmission in '07 although I have my doubts that was done for any reliability reasons...I'm wagering it was to simplify the supply chain. In speaking with my dealer, they've not replaced a single transmission yet from the '05+ models and said they service several with over 100k. They get complaints about the downshifting while braking....but that seems to be the norm on most newer transmissions these days. As a precaution, I'm doing a fluid swap (just drain/fill) on the tranny every 30k miles. Cheap insurance if nothing else. Once we got through a few of the common problems on the '05 Odys....we've been smooth sailing. Now crossing 50k miles recently and haven't had a complaint in a good year. I wouldn't hesitate to buy an '05 as long as the updates had been applied.

Replying to: kiams (Feb 08, 2009 8:05 am) Other issues we've had include the six-disc CD changer acting goofy and the DVD system freezing up about 30 minutes into a movie. They replaced both six-disc changer and the DVD player without question. The last "repair" I've had was last winter when I was in for service (around 35k miles) I complained that the rear hatch was very slow to open when it was cold. They put new struts on the rear hatch under warranty. So in terms of shear problems, we've had quite a few issues although none really amounted to much. The fact that the three major ones were known issues that were supposedly corrected by updated parts....I'm hoping those issues won't reoccur. I've owned quite a few first-year vehicles and I've had far worse. We really like the Odyssey though and have kept it much longer than we normally keep our travel vehicle. I might just be getting cheaper in my old age though, but I honestly haven't found anything worth upgrading to yet. |

Replying to: hause7 (Feb 06, 2009 2:33 pm) Japanese Auto Transmission COmpany, I think is what is stands for. Definitely not Ford at that point. Mazda had plenty of bad Ford transmissions, CD4E namely, but later MPVs were not among those. |

Does anyone know what's wrong with it? It's been down since Thursday. I really wanted to go on there with some questions. Just wondering if anyone on here uses it or knows any of the people that run the site. Thanks
