I also called backed Honda and spoke with the rude case manager, who offered 25% last May when I had the new transmission put in (I paid $3000) and asked him why I didn't get 100% when several other people did. He said their cases were different and were not the 2002. He said there are no problems with the 2002 Odyssey Transmission other that the recall on the 2nd gear ratio. I asked him about all the posting on this forum and the complaints at NHTSA who have had the same issue as me on the 2002, and he said well we don't base our decisions on what you read on the internet.

Nice, rfreitas. Basically got the same answer here...they told me they could've just paid 10% or nothing, so basically I should consider myself fortunate...I didn't have the extended warranty..."AHM-holes!" If I thought my Honda transmission was going to fail at 80K I might have bought the extended warranty -- or better, bought a Sienna or something. Of course, no one mentioned to me that prior models were having transmission issues when we bought this van.
 
I guess all we can do is protest with our feet (or someone with some legal skill could help us form a class-action suit...)

Exactly this is my 4th (and last) Honda and I never bought an extended warranty. Never had any problems with my past Honda. 60K to 80K seems to be the going rate for transmission failure in the Odyssey.
 
Do you remember the case managers name? Was it Ron?
 
I told him that I find that hard to believe (that there is not a know problem with the 2002), I said you probably take calls just like mine all day long. He didn't reply to that.
 
Class action law suit would be nice...

Okay, I'm just tuning in because at 98,500 miles, my 2002 Odyssey started slipping. We've already had the blinking "D" light and a transmission fluid change (which helped for a couple of weeks). Tonight it won't shift past 2nd/3rd gear. Tomorrow we have to call the dealership to get it fixed. What do I say? Is there a recall on any part of it? Help.

There was a recall on the 2002 for one part of the transmission, so if you have had that done you will probably be in the same boat as the rest of us. From what my case manager told me if you have proof that you have done all of the maintenance (tranmission flush every 35K or whatever it is) Honda will cover more. My case I didn't have any reciepts and didn't do maintenance at the dealership, so they only covered 25%. I paid $3000. Good luck. Also if you are the original owner you may get more. They told me since I was the 2nd owner there is no way to tell if the first owner did the maintenance.
 
It just amazes me how many people have this problem, and they still try to deny (or lie) that there is an issue. Your case manager will say no there is nothing wrong with the 2002 transmission other than the recall on that specific part.
 
We need a class action lawsuite like they did for the 1999-2001's. Anyone know how to get the ball rolling on that?
 
Did anyone contact the attorney that did the one for 1999-2001's? Seems like I saw the number posted some where...

I had a 2001 Honda Odyssey model. The transmission was failed two days ago. I am the original owner of the van and nobody ever info me that there was a recall for the transmission. When I called the dealership when the problem was happened, they even didn't tell me there is recall and they simply told me the warranty is expired and I had to pay between $3500 to $4000 to get it repaired. Then I decided to go with AAMCO which gives me a cheaper price. Then I found out the recall information from this message, but it was too late for me.
 
Is anyone know the attorney number who handles the law-suite case for 1999-2001 model? I would like to see whether there is any chance that I can get re-reimbursed.
 
Thanks.

I am pretty sure I saw the name and number in this thread. You might have to read from the begining and go though each page. But I am 99% it is in here some where...
 
Update on my 2002. I called Honda back and tried to get reimbursed again for the $3K, when I took my car back in to get the pressure switch fixed. The case manger called the dealership too see what the problem was and then called me back and said no we won't refund you any money but the pressure switch is covered. I had to pay for the solenoid replacement though. Then he told me that the service manger said my car was full of sludge and all the fluids were dirty. And that is why they would not cover more because the car was not taken care of. So I called the service manger right when I got off the phone, and she said she did not say that. She said she told him that one of the causes of the solenoid failure is engine sludge, but not in the case of my behicle. So they are grasping at anything to get out of paying for these transmission issues, they even are laying their way though it.
 
The case manger also told me that there are no known problems with the 2002 transmission (sorry if I am repeating some of this). So I have printed over 200 complaints on just the 2002 from NHTSA's website, and several hundred posts from this board. I have a packet about 2 inches that will be going to both Honda American and Honda Japan. Probably won't do any good, but will make me feel better that I tried...
 
Good luck.

sending it to honda will definately help.
 
in my case (Honda Accord 2000) they are willing to cover 60% of cost, i will end up paying 1300 for transimission. I have two questions ... if someone can with that
 
1) are these transmission rebuilt ? honda told me that they cannot have new transmission they wil install rebuilt and warranty is 3ry/36,000.
 
2) can you please provide me Honda japan contact. address, phone no, fax no.
i plan to pursue my case with them for refund.
 
also have tried BBB, they were helpful in my case.
 
Thanks

What did the BBB do? I heard they wouldn't help if your vehicle is out of warranty.
