I am also a victim of the transmission issue. In 2004 recall, Honda changed my transmission for some other issue. Now I have a transmission issue. The engine goes off whenever I wait for a signal or stop at stop sign. I have owned so far 2 accords, one odyssey and one civic. I tried to reach out to Honda for this problem and they were ready to change transmission for $2800. Even if I change, the problem may not go away unless Honda gives me 5 year/100,000 miles warranty on transmission. Hence I have changed my plan. No more Honda's in my life any more. I went and bought a Ford Fusion instead of civic. No more odyssey. I will run this odyssey until it dies and think about changing the transmission and selling it. One workaround for my problem: Change it to Neutral or Park when you stop. Technically you need to drive like a semi automatic. Good Invention Honda. You deserve an innnovation award of the year.

I had my transmission replaced about 9 months ago in my 2002 at the dealership, you can find my story in this forum, so I won't repeat it. But I paid $3000 and they said it included a 3yr/36k mile warranty. My wife just called and said the transmission stalled. Sounds like I am on my way for my 2nd replacement.

I am joining the club too. My Honda Odyssey broke down after 97K miles on my trip to Charlotte, NC. I drove 350 miles from Detroit and TR failed on I77 Near Parkersburg, WV. Very dissatisfied by the Dealer Service who first told me that it is under warrenty. Took advantage of my situation and end up paying $3200 total.. I called few friends who owns Odyssey.. they reported the same issues on their vehicle too. One was broken down 27K and the other was 78K miles on Vacation trip. Just called the customer care but no help... NO MORE HONDA IN MY LIFE NOW..

I have a 2000 Odyssey with the same issue; died this weekend. They are offering me 25% and now I am having to send documentation, etc. Did you have to fight to get the 60/40 split??? I had complained in 2003 twice and then again in 2007 and 2008. I am so frustrated! I am about the 6th person I know that has had issues. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

2002 Honda Odyssey is "scrap" thxs to Trani issue

Single owner of 2002 Odyssey, have kept up on ALL mantinence. Three weeks ago learned our transmission has suffered a "total failure" and needs to be replaced. It failed just shy of 80,000 miles! I was so pissed, called dealer and arranged a meeting with factory rep. as the fix was going to be around $5,000. Factory rep was a tool and a total weasel who said verbatim, "...if I pay 100% on your replacement, I will have to do it for everyone." Well, isn't that the point dude, you have a nationwide issue, stand behind your work! I told him that one way or another I will get this covered, either by him or once the NEXT class action goes forward. Just tell me where to sign up. Until then, it sits in the garage, I refuse to spend a cent of my money of this crap.

2003 Honda Odyssey Transmission

I just discovered this Honda Odyssey transmission issue today as my 2003 Odyssey started having problems this weekend. The transmission is slipping and stuttering like many others have described in this forum. Took the car to the local dealer and I'm told that it will cost me $4,202 (labor $968, parts $2,737, alignment after the work $104, replace motor mounts $392)! I don't have the extended warranty. However, I did do the scheduled transmission fluid replacement at 31k and 65k. In addition, it was included in the 04-021 Transmission recall and the Oil Jet Kit was added. I'm going to start calling the different Honda dealers in the area and American Honda to see if I can get it replaced. I am so glad that I found this forum. It will give me some ammo for my "discussion" with the dealer.

Still so many consumers buy this van. I traded in 07 Odyssey after 7 months ownership. Tansmission failure in less than 100k is a joke. Though the tranny did not act up in my short 7 months owned the Ody, soft brake issue, different kind of noises (wind, road, accelerator) are 2 major things on my decision to dump my Ody. Anyway I feel you guys pain.

2001 Odyssey- Failure tranmission case seal: 100K

I forced Honda to pay 50% of everything because I found the leak at 105K, but I didn't take it to Honda until 113K. I didn't know the warranty was extended to 109K and thought it was already out of warranty-rats!!!! Otherwise I would have taken it in at 105K and I would have forced them to pay the whole thing.
You just have to be really persistent- I was for the last 2 months. Honda offered 0% at first, then 25% of $3400, then 25% of $2800, and now 50% of $2800 (see below).
Costs Honda gave me:
Tranny + Torque Converter: = $1801.13
Fluid = $65.82
Clips = $8.72 + $1.22
Labor = $925
Total = $2801.89
After 50% discount
Total = $1400.95
I am really annoyed at Honda's inferior to Toyota quality and perhaps this is the last Honda I will own.

This shows Honda was trying NOT TO PAY for failure of Honda product(s).
