thank you...I will do that. I don't know if they will do anything for me since I had so many miles on my car when it happened (120,000)....but it is worth the call. Appreciate the info!

HOnda did pay 50% of my new transmission, but it was anightmare! It tooks two weeks of haggling with them, going over my story over andover.. they lost my case once and made me reopen it. ALL because they put in a faulty product. I paid top dollar for my 2001 Odyssey ( I was on a wait list they were so popular), but I expected stellar reliability and great customer service. Got neither! Very disappointed in Honda!

Can you tell me about the law suit for the 1999-2001 odyssey? We have 1999 odyeesey and it has 71, 532 miles on it and we were told that it is not under warranty. Our 10 years will be August 27, 2009. Any information would be great. We took it to the dealers today, and was told the replacement of the transmission would be about 4K. which is too much for me...

For the 1999-2001 models, call Honda Cust. Service 1-800-999-1009 and explain your situation. They may be able to let you know how the 10 year/100000 miles warranty would apply to your situation. Also, asked the cust. rep, to provide you a case number and that you wish to be contacted by a case manager. You will get a response within 48 hours. The case manager will tell you exactly what you should do and how much they will cover on your repairs.
 
Also check out this link and provide your vin# to see if your vehicle was part of the lawsuit settlement against Honda for the faulty transmissions on the 1999-2001 Odyssey models.

I have a eary similar transmission problem with my 2002 odyssey. Dealer tells me the computer is not registering a code. I have take 2 technicians out for ride with me to experience the shudder at 35 to 40 mph. You can also feel it around 20 and 60 but it is very short and mild. I would like to know what test your technician ran and how he recorded the problem. Although I have told Honda dealer and Honda Care what I thought it was they tell me without a code, there is nothing wrong.
Thanks for your help

1999 Honda Odyssey is it worth it to have transmission repaired? by zoltaro

I am aware of the transmission issues on the 99-03 Odysseys. I once owned a '01 that I had to replace the transmission on and then about 10K later it was making a clunking sound when putting it in reverse so I traded it in. My question is this:
I am once again in need of a mini van and I have some very good friends who are offering to sell me their 1999 Odyssey. BUT it is in need of a new transmission (no surprise). My friends got a quote of $1800-2200 from a local shop (not dealer) to rebuild the transmission that's in there now. The van has about 135,000 miles on it and is in otherwise excellent shape. These friends are the original owners and have taken excellent care of the van. I have no doubt about that. If they get it fixed they'll sell it to us for about $3900 (and they're willing to take payments!). I want to know if it would be wise for us to buy this van? What are the chances that the rebuilt tranny will go out again in another 10K miles? Does it make a difference if the old one is rebuilt as opposed to a new one being put in? And when "new" ones are put in aren't they also remanufactured? If we could get a 100K out of it that would be OK, but not 10K. What do you all think?

Tranny Reimbursement by dukeshah
Jul 25, 2009 (6:37 pm)

Hello,
 
I am a 2nd owner of a 2002 Honda Odyssey and had to replace the tranny at about 105,000, around March of 2008.
 
I did not realize that Honda America was helping with the reimbursement at the time I replaced the tranny (my bad, I know I should have consulted this group).
 
Is there any chance I can get some of the monies for my past expenses? If so, what is the best way to go about requesting the reimbursement?
 
Thx,
Dukeshah

Zoltaro: run, do not walk, away from any Ody that is in the date ranges of '99 to probably today. The'99 you speak of will likely have another tranny failure in a few thousand miles or so, and then will have another, and probably another. 135K miles on the first transmission is a miracle, and the rebuild will take away whatever magic it had originally. I'm on my fourth tranny on the Ody that I bought new and treated like it was made of glass. The first two were replaced under the lawsuit extended warranty and the third one was by the grace of a helpful service manager. That one cose me labor at $600, and I did it only to get the 36K mile warranty. This van is the love of my automotive life, but in a year or so, it will be gone.....best of luck...G3guy

How long did your transmissions last after you had them repaired? I am having a problem, but I am at 150,000 miles now. Trying to decide to repair or buy something else.

I my 2002 transmission replaced at 180,605 kms and the van is currently at 233,000 kma. I am planning to keep till the van dies or it's too expensive to keep it.
Although with today's high prices for vehicles I will try to keep forever. I am retired on a fixed income.
I also life the design!
