If I were Honda, I would have swapped your problematic 07 Odyssey and keep it as reasearch & development purposes to find out why these things happened and better understand the tramsmission problems where it came from. It sure is a lemon and Honda got to eat this lemon.
Honda should have all the experience re 01, 02, 03 tranny problems and after all these years, still can't make the tranny right?

EXCELLENT idea.
BUT, there are probably less than 1 % of all Odysseys that have had transmission problems.

I don't know what a defective door weld is on the Sienna, but I highly suspect that it is going to cause your vehicle 4k-5k worth of absolutely necessary repairs and not just once, but potentially every so often.

My drive light started blinking the other day. I have a 2002 Odyssey with 105,000 miles. I didn't feel any problem with the van and the next day it was off. Any thoughts?

I mind you that a lot of their affected customers do not even know that the problem is with Honda's defective design and not their bad luck because Honda has a big name. Also, this is the great U.S.A. and who would expect that the government has not done anything to stop them from selling these defective designed cars until they have corrected the problem since the problem has been in existence for many years. At the least, you would expect the government would have imposed disclosure requirements on Honda to its affected and potential customers. The transmission problem can cause deadly car crashes. Who knows how many car crashes have been responsible by Honda's defective transmission?!
If the problem is really just less than 1% as you mentioned, it is kind of common sense that Honda would not act so uncivilized as to risk their reputation in resolving the matter. If they really know how to make transmission, why would they continue using these transmissions with design flaw only on some Odysseys. They well documented the problems in their Honda's service bulletin in the past. It just does not make sense to me.

Something is missing from your statement. I added the missing part to make it complete.
BUT, there are probably less than 1 % of all Odysseys that have had transmission problems within the warranty period.

I agree entirely. I want to add that the reason for the failure to occur after the full warranty period is because Honda had fooled their affected customers to let them install the oil jet kit. Their recall only protects Honda not to be responsible for their faulty designed transmission during the full warranty period and successfully passed the ball to their loyal customers.

How can you tell if an Odyssey has transmission problems?

I'm considering buying a used '06 Touring that has about 53k mi on it. I have driven the van and didn't notice any issues.
I realize many people here visit this forum because they have had problems with the transmission on their vans, but I am certain there are just as many, or more, people that haven't. So, I'm looking for some practical advice from those with knowledge of the issue.
How can I tell if this particular Odysssey currently has a transmission problem? Or, will have one in the relatively near future?
For example, if I were to take the car to a mechanic, what would I ask him to look for as signs of the problem? Or, is there something I should be able to test on my own to tell if its good or bad?
Thanks!

I'm only familiar with the earlier model problems, 99 to 04. My only recommendation is to do as much research as you can before purchasing. I understand that most of the tranny problems that plagued earlier models was rectified by Honda... Finally!

You probably cannot tell until it has generated enough miles like 80,000 to show signs.
