#9 of 1245 Re: 2002 Odyssey Transmission failure (73K) [hondalover10] by ody02tjk Nov 10, 2006 (8:45 am)
Replying to: hondalover10 (Oct 28, 2006 8:19 pm) HondaLover10:   We are in a similar situation as you have detailed. We have a 2002 EX-L, bought new, serviced always at Honda Dealer, with 61750 miles. Transmission started slipping a few weeks ago. This past Monday, we had the 60K service done (including another tranny flush and fill). Yesterday, it was slipping in 2nd gear almost constantly. Took it in today, and they are telling us new transmission (at $4500), and will NOT be covered. We did not buy at extended warranty, as we did not think it would be needed. What were you able to do to get your dealer and/or American Honda to cover the cost of your repair? Any idea on what needs to be said in order to get them to "gift" the repair? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Replies to this message: heatherzg (Nov 10, 2006 3:26 pm) ody02tjk (Nov 13, 2006 2:48 pm)

Replying to: ody02tjk (Nov 10, 2006 8:45 am) We just got ours back today having had the rebuilt transmission replaced again. Honda footed the bill for the transmission, we paid for labor ($700). The first time my husband went in armed with information from the web that Honda was offering a "good will" warranty on the transmission and they were willing to go along with it. This time there was little discussion, we have been working with the same service advisor so he took care of it. Best of luck! Replies to this message: ody02tjk (Nov 13, 2006 2:48 pm)

Replying to: heatherzg (Nov 10, 2006 3:26 pm) I heard from the dealer on Friday, and they offered at rebuilt transmission, with Honda paying for the parts, and we need to cover the installation. I was quoted $750 for the work. Do you know if any one is getting Honda to cover the entire cost on any of the 2002 Odyssey's? What exactly is their "goodwill" warranty? Was there any warranty for the rebuilt transmission? If so, for how long? This is our first transmission rebuild....how many have you had done?
#12 of 1245 Trans failure, no warranty coverage for Canadian vehicle by steelers0118 Nov 14, 2006 (4:42 pm)
I purchased a used 2001 EX (from friends), knowing that they had gotten it from a broker and that it came from Canada, but had no idea what a mess that could lead to. Now my transmission has failed, my local dealer can't get any warranty coverage because American Honda says it's a Canadian, which they don't cover, and even my extended warranty company (Heritage) says they won't cover it because Honda issued a warranty update! Does ANYONE have any suggestions? I am unemployed and don't have $3000 for a new transmission.
#13 of 1245 Miss fires by gobears75 Nov 13, 2006 (9:29 pm)
My 1999 Ody with 118,000 miles is giving me fits. The tranny is acting up and missfiring - Dealer replaces the tranny (we pay 25%), the car runs good.   8 weeks later it is missfiring again - Dealer says cat convert, valve job, and finds other problems, we don't do the cat converter, or valve job, runs good leaving shop   4 weeks later, missfiring again, take it to my local shop, bunch of codes, but they can not figure out what the problem is, they don't believe the cat converter is causing my problem All they do is clear codes, car runs good leaving shop   I borrow a friends code reader, I drive the car (usually my daugher drives it) after awhile I detect slight missfiring, over several reading and resets, P0300, 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 420, 1399. Can not find any info on P1399. At first the reset would help for awhile 50 to 100 miles. Now it only turns off the check engine light, soon the symptons come back. Oh yes, the TCS light comes on some times. Turning the engine off a stop light and turning back on will turn off the TCS light.   Anyone have any ideas. Anyone think the EGR has anything to do with this. Replies to this message: blueody (Aug 29, 2007 9:46 pm)
#14 of 1245 Transmission problme in 2002 ody by kalody2002 Nov 14, 2006 (11:42 am)
I have 2002 Ody with 74,000 miles on it. Lately, I have notice that once in while engine drops power and RPM goes 3500 to 4000+ to just change 1 or 2 gear. Has anyone seen this problem? I called Honda for warranty and of course it is expired, but they are willing to look into. But what she, Honda customer Service person, told me that they need all maintenance records. I get my maintenance done at my own mechanic shop not at Honda dealer. She said they may not cover it even if its transmission problem.   Question is Any one is experience this?   I would appreciate for any help or advice on how to convince dealer? I know I will have hard time to convince them.

Replying to: kalody2002 (Nov 14, 2006 11:42 am) I had this same problem with my 1999 ody. The problem i had only happens when the car is very cold (early in the morning), it would not shift gear and the RPM goes very high. I engine light came on, they determined the code was P730 which was transmission problem. They say this could be caused by driving in D3 for a long time and over 80 km/hr.   Honda extended the warranty on the transmission for up to 16000km. Do not let them get away with it?. The Honda odyssey (1999 -2003) had transmission problems and they know. They should fix it period.

Replying to: kalody2002 (Nov 14, 2006 11:42 am) Honda has extended the warranty to 100K, at least my 1999, and I just got a class action deal in the mail the other day, looks like it is now 109K miles. Check on Honda website Owner link. It should tell if your Ody is covered. My mechanic told me the tranny was bad, when I took it to the dealer, they said no at first and then said yes it is.
#18 of 1245 Re: need help taking transmission apart [mechacknic] by pgnagel Nov 17, 2006 (6:00 am)
Replying to: mechacknic (Oct 29, 2006 6:38 pm) Replying to: mechacknic (Oct 29, 2006 7:38 pm) Have you had any luck getting the tranny open? I also have a 1999 Odyssey with 121,000 on the clock. The TCS and engine check lights came on last week and it's shifting 'funny', much softer than usual. Those seem to be the classic failure symptoms, so I figure it's time to rebuild or replace the transmission.    The best price I can find on a rebuilt unit is $1,250 from an outfit in Phoenix, with a 12 month warranty. I was thinking about just rebuilding it from front to back, but I'm limited on the amount of time I can take for the project. The family will probably only tolerate about 4 days start to finish.    I'm pretty mechanically inclined and I've been doing my on maintenance for about 15 years. I typically do oil changes, brake jobs, suspension, clutches, etc. so I feel kind of comfortable, but I also know that an automatic transmission rebuilt is a daunting task to say the least. I would be interested to see how you are doing on your project.    Thanks,   Paul N Replies to this message: mechacknic (Jan 21, 2007 8:16 pm)
