#1275 of 1281 FYI - Brake Safety Probe for MY 2007 and 2008 by phlion79 Nov 20, 2009 (7:52 am)
I know this isn't transmission-related, but this is the most active board in the Odyssey forums and this is important.   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 from NHTSA and he said a decision would be made on a safety recall certainly within a year from Oct. 19, but likely much sooner.   What you should know: 1) If you have squishy brakes on your 07/08 odyssey, know that these are not your garden variety squishy brakes. This is because typically squishy brakes do not get progressively worse, but according to Honda a startup routine introduces small amounts of air into the brake lines which will cause the situation to get progressively worse. 2) The gentleman NHTSA doing the probe seemed eagar to get more reports, as they exist, of MY 07 / 08 squishy brakes. If you're brakes feel squishy speak up, and do not now! It only takes a couple min. Link here to make a report: https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/Complaint.cfm 3) Know how to use the safety emergency brake if the brakes fail! Read through a few of the public reports from NHTSA website and you'll see a few bad accidents alleged on this problem (and a lot of accidents narrowly avoided).   Link to Oct. 19 upgrade notice: http://nhthqnwws111.odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/docservlet/Artemis/Public/Pursuits/20- 09/EA/INOA-EA09014-37221.pdf
#1276 of 1281 2000 Odyssey Transmission Problems by jumanator Nov 23, 2009 (9:26 am)
Hi. I'm new to this post.   My 2000 Odyssey now has its first transmission problems at 130,000 miles with serious shifting issues, steering shifter won't shift to lower Drive gears, etc. I brought it to AAMCO, they said minimum $1864 for them to rebuild it with 1/12 warranty. Honda dealer said $4500 to install rebuilt transmission with 3/36 warranty (they also said I need new motor mounts, $650 installed). Dealer also said American Honda will not foot any of the bill since I haven't serviced Odyssey there since 2004. I may call American Honda myself and try dealing with them directly.   Does anyone think I have a shot at getting any help from American Honda? The van's been good to us up to now, although I just got it back from my mechanic after P1129 code appeared, $315 repair bill. I don't want to be greedy but it seems many people got some help from American Honda even way past the warranty period. Otherwise AAMCO repair may be my best option. Dealer offered $2000 trade for Odyssey with its transmission problems. And I just bought my 2009 Pilot from that same dealer. Anyone got any ideas what I can do?   On a slightly different matter, back in 2006 my mechanic repaired a P0401 EGR code that, which I just discovered, Honda would've repaired through their warranty extension. Will American Honda reimburse me for that repair?   Thanks for anyone's input.

Replying to: jumanator (Nov 23, 2009 9:26 am) 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 eventually break again at some point - there are tons of posting where people are on their 2nd and 3rd Honda transmission in this forum and at the same site above. But with the 3/36 warranty you would be covered for a few years. That is what I did. I am selling mine as soon as the warranty is up. Honda offered me 25% help because I didn't have my service records.   Good luck.

Replying to: jumanator (Nov 23, 2009 9:26 am) 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 if you ever received a notification from the company or the lawyers who pressed the case. You should get some help; I got a second transmission for free and a third for installation charges only ($600). Don't believe the dealer about the motor mounts until you have someone else check them. Honda dealers are great for telling you that you need things that you don't need. My dealer told me that two of the three mounts were broken; a local Honda private specialist garage showed me that all three were fine. You might want to be thinking about a timing chain replacement though, as if that fails, the engine will seize up catastrophically. I ran mine through 120000 miles, but sweat every time I started it. Use a private garage if you can; its cheaper and easier to deal with a local mom and pop garage if something goes wrong with the work. Good luck g3guy

Replying to: jumanator (Nov 23, 2009 9:26 am) 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.
#1280 of 1281 My Odyssey 2000/189,000 miles by dragonlady3 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 garage run by former dealer mechanics. Anybody's thoughts? Thanks so much!

Replying to: dragonlady3 (Nov 23, 2009 10:08 am) 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.
