#1228 of 1297 Re: 2007 Honda Odyssey Shudder 40-60 kmph [odysy07] by party_bus Nov 02, 2009 (9:55 am)
Replying to: odysy07 (Oct 29, 2009 6:52 am) I have the exact same issue with my Odyssey, and I have 34,541 miles on my vehicle. I want to be sure and get this fixed before the factory warrenty runs out at 36K. I would like to know if anyone who had this issue, had it fixed and then had it happen again? Is this an ongoing issue?

Replying to: odysy07 (Oct 29, 2009 6:52 am) Honda just called me back and it is the Torque converter! They are going to replace it free of charge because it it still has 1400 miles left in the factory warrenty....whew!!! Glad I did not wait any longer. I will leave another message after the repair is complete to let people know the results of the fix. Replies to this message: phlion79 (Nov 02, 2009 2:39 pm)

Replying to: party_bus (Nov 02, 2009 11:42 am) The power train warranty from Honda is 5 years, 60k, and should cover a torque converter, as it is a transmission-type issues. What are you referring to re: the 36k warranty? This is the bumper-to-bumper one, as far as I know.
#1231 of 1297 PLEASE HELP!!!!! by dannyj1 Nov 04, 2009 (9:18 am)
We are a family of 5 looking for a vehicle. We came across a nice, well kept, 2001 Honda Ody. We are very interested in buying it. It was checked by a mech and he said that it only needed transmission mounts and a oil leak around the timing belt fixed. He valued these repairs at $400. But after reading different reviews, I am concerned that we are not making a good choice. We have to purchase this vechile today, could anyone tell me what they think. The van has 150000 miles on it, and runs really well. We can not afford to purchase this car, and then have something major to be fixed. This is taking everything we have, just to purchase it. Please share your thoughts and experience with me.   Thank you for your time Replies to this message: autowrite (Nov 04, 2009 11:15 am) tmock13 (Nov 04, 2009 11:31 am) odyssey01owner (Nov 04, 2009 12:23 pm) cottduke (Nov 04, 2009 12:34 pm)

well, my opinion is stay far, far away from this van. 150K on anything is a lot of miles, and a 2001 ody with the original tranny (if it si)? A time bomb baby. And if it needs mounts (motor? Not sure what he is replacing) and the T blet cover is leaking, $400 sounds optimistic (especially once they open it up and see what else in in there!)   You didn't say what the price on this unit is, but Hondas tend to be quite high priced used (paying for the name and repliability rep, which this model didn't earn). Knowing what you want to spend will make a difference.   If you have to have a minivan (with 5 kids, a nice idea!) you can probably get a Chrysler with 1/2 the miles for the same price (and likely less risk). Slightly newer, amybe a Mazda MPV (the newer style).   lots of other options if you can get away without a minivan of course.

Replying to: dannyj1 (Nov 04, 2009 9:18 am) Instead buy a Toyota Sienna from 2005 & up.
#1234 of 1297 not likely by stickguy Nov 04, 2009 (11:27 am)
I wold go with a 2005 sienna over a 2005 odyssey (now, obviously I didn't make that call in 2005!0, but I'm guessing it will be way out of the OPs budget!   Maybe a 1998-2001 Sienna? They seem to be pretyt robust.but again, you will pay 2X for the name.

Replying to: dannyj1 (Nov 04, 2009 9:18 am) Stay away from this lemon. Honda Odyssey from 1999-2004 are known for their faulty transmissions. I currently own a 02 Odyssey EXl and had to fix my transmission this past July 09. The cost of repairs was $3200 at AAMCO Transmission. The sad thing was their was another Odyssey, 2001 model, on a lift with a bad transmission at the shop. My Odyssey had only 41200 miles when the transmission started slipping and ended at the shop. I called American Honda Corp to complain and they acknowledged that there was a transmission problem on Odysseys 1999-2004. Honda agree to send me a check for $1000 as a "good will" gesture after i fax them my receipt from AAMCO. Honda is only handling this problem on a case by case basis. So, if you are still keen on a minivan, go with a Toyota Sienna. I know I will when I'm in the market for a minivan again next time.

Replying to: dannyj1 (Nov 04, 2009 9:18 am) I would also stay away from this van... We bought a 2001 with only 80,000 miles on it last year and had to replace the transmission only 6 months after we bought it. It cost us $2700... we paid $7600 for our van, add the two together and we could have bought more like at 2005... or rather a new van of another brand... we plan on keeping our van around till it can no longer move to get our money's worth out of it... sorry!

Replying to: dannyj1 (Nov 04, 2009 9:18 am) Get a Toyota Sienna instead if you're looking for a van around this manufacture year and price range. Consumer Reports shows no tranny or engine problems for the '01 Sienna, but significant tranny problems for the '01 Odyssey.
