first trans replaced at around 50k miles. 103k miles now and this trans is beginning to slip. am I expected to replace these every 50k miles or so? does anyone have any advice on getting Honda to replace or cover at least cover some of the cost?

Replying to: jpatrickinc (Jul 29, 2009 5:01 pm) Since your van has 103k miles, your best bet is to repair it at AAMCO and purchase the additional 3 yr/36000 miles warranty or even a lifetime warranty, if you plan to keep the van for awhile. It is just unfortunate that us Honda Odyssey owners of 1999-2004 have to deal with this transmission problem.

Replying to: jlindke (Nov 15, 2008 1:47 pm) Similar to you, problem is exacerbated when going over a slight incline that puts slightly more pressure on the engine/transmission. The shakes would not happen for the dealer service, just the rough vibration. I'm trying to find criteria to reproduce the events for them. I had the transmission oil changed which appeared to solve the problem for a few days. They want to change the fluid again to rule that out. Next, they say I should replace the torque converter. I am the original owner with about 75k miles. It's been happening for 4-6 months now. I was also researching problems with the EGR (exhaust gas recirculator), but this is supposed to show a engine service code, and is supposed to be shutters while cruising. I think I feel those, but it's hard to rule that apart from bumps in the road. If you get the engine service code, Honda has supposedly extended the warranty to 80k miles. I am considering a Honda for my wife, but am holding off until my problems are solved. We're also considering Toyota. Have you had any progress with your problem? Are other people having this problem? Hope this helps you.

My 2002 Odyssey with 105,000 miles is just starting to have the transmission problems described here. When it started I had a full tranny flush done and the fluid replaced with the good synthetic stuff. In two weeks I'm taking the family on a 1400-mile trip, including basically two 12-hour driving days. It seems that this problem takes a while to develop, sometimes 2-3 years from some posts I have seen. (My van might also be improving -- if the tranny flush helped could it take a couple hundred miles to have an effect?) MAIN QUESTION: Is it crazy for me to take this car on this trip? When these transmissions go while driving, what actually happens? Thanks. |
