#831 of 1290 Re: Honda Odyssey 2001 Transmission Problems and Honda's response [ypant] by rfreitas Sep 20, 2008 (4:52 am)
Replying to: ypant (Sep 20, 2008 4:00 am) That stinks two months out of warranty. I would probably get the transmission fixed by Honda if I were you. Because they will give you a 3 year/36K miles warranty on it. From what I read many people have had 2 and 3 transmission put in.   I just had one put in this summer. I am selling the chunk of junk as soon as the warranty is up (3 years).   There is a new class action lawsuit in the works, but I don't know that it would help you since your vehicle was included in the first lawsuit.   Everyone needs to call and give their information to the attorney. Takes 5 minutes, the secretary adds your contact info and vehicle to the database. Contact info is here:   http://forums.automobilemag.com/70/6556907/technical-discussion/2003-honda-odyss- - ey-transmission-problems/page10.html   You might try writing a letter to the president of Honda, I have heard that helped in some cases. Try to push the fact that you are barely out of warranty, and they should cover more...   Good luck.
#832 of 1290 3rd Clutch pressure switch by chuckjr1 Sep 30, 2008 (9:06 pm)
The (Check Engine) light started flashing a few days ago, when my 2000 Odyssey is started (5 flashes) then goes out. Honda dealer says that the 3rd Clutch pressure switch (Code P1739) has to be replaced, if problem not solved then tranny needs replacement; no talk about any other service or charge. Independent shop says switch needs to be replaced then electronics need to be checked... PLUS fluid and filter might as well be replaced since it will all come out at switch replacement.   Which one is BSing me or not telling me the whole story? As it now stands, the dealer is cheaper than the independent--which I've never found to be the case. Maybe I shouldn't complain too much, as this is the first tranny problem in 101K miles!   Thanks in advance for any comments!

Replying to: rebel7 (Sep 14, 2008 11:50 am) IMHO, I wouldn't take it to the local mechanic--and here's why. Automatic transmissions are VERY complicated beasts that are best left to the experts. So now you have two choices: a Honda dealer or a transmissions shop. The dealer specializes in Hondas--but on all Honda models plus all Odyssey systems--not just transmissions. The tranny shop specializes in transmissions--but often on many different brands and models--not just Hondas. Bottom line is that neither shop would be as perfect as the NON-EXISTENT shop that only does 2000 Odyssey transmissions!   Unless you have additional data on either shop (complaints at Better Business Bureau, word-of-mouth recommendations--or warnings to steer clear) it pretty much comes down to price. Good luck!

Replying to: sonofknud (Sep 17, 2008 10:48 am) Do you mind if I ask what state you are in and if you won at arbitration or did Honda settle and give you a new van? We are in the middle of a lemon law suit now awaiting arbitration and our attorney seemd to think that even if we win....3rd tranny in 7 months on an 07 with multiple other issues, including brakes and 40 days in the shop...that Honda will appeal and we will be in court for 18 months to 2 years. Thanks youngsingacox.net Dawn
#835 of 1290 Are there any non-problem trannys out there by seminara Oct 02, 2008 (7:51 pm)
I'm very stressed after reading for more than an hour about odyssey tranny horrors. My 2002 has 79K. They did the recall 2nd gear jet at 13K miles. I don't have any tranny troubles, however my ck engine light and TCS light came on 18 mo. ago. Yes, I drove with that for a few months, all else was maintained ie: synthetic oil changes, coolant level ok and no tranny issues. The lights went off as I was pulling into the dealer to have the codes read(no kidding). They stayed off for over a year. Last week, they're back again(no noticable tranny woes.) Does a TCS light and ck engine light mean tranny problems?

Replying to: seminara (Oct 02, 2008 7:51 pm) As soon as the CEL is on, take it to Autozone to scan the code for free and they should be able to tell you what the code(s) about. Replies to this message: seminara (Oct 09, 2008 1:11 pm)

Replying to: seminara (Oct 02, 2008 7:51 pm) Seminara (#835), Ours was a 2002 also with almost the same miles when we started getting the lights! The first dealer we went to checked it out said everything was fine...take it to 1 or 2 other Honda dealers and call American Honda's 800 number to tell them what's up (open a file). Ours ended up being the transmission and we had to have it replaced. They charged $3900, but "goodwill'ed it" down to us just paying $800. Keep after them though before you get stranded somewhere.

Replying to: ebotrd (Oct 03, 2008 7:03 am) Same here, I have a 2002. I had to pay $3000. When you call Honda they will try to tell you there are no known problems with the 2002 transmission other than the recall work that you had done. Don't expect much unless you have all your maintenance reciepts.   If you end up needing a new transmission, be sure to give your info to the lawyers that are working on the new class action lawsuit.   You can find the attorney info here:   http://forums.automobilemag.com/70/6556907/technical-discussion/2003-honda-odyss- ey-transmission-problems/page10.html

Replying to: ypant (Sep 20, 2008 4:00 am) My nightmare has just begun. I have a 2002 Odyssey, 7 year warranty, 130,000 kms the warranty was up sept 17 2008, and on the suddenly convenient date of sept 27, the engine light came on. it was just a day after I had the oil changed so i thought it was a sensor reset issue or maybe a tech didnt screw something back on properly. I was wrong. they told me it would cost $3915 to replace the transmission because the code read "clutch failure" and shifting malfunction, which would call for replacement of the transmission. I was mortified. I seemed to recall having the vehicle in the shop back in '06, telling the guys at the Honda service center that the tranny seemed to "shift very hard" into 2nd gear. their answer to the prob was flushing the tranny twice, after which the van drove exactly the same, but the techs assured me that the shifting was "the nature of the beast". funny how 12 days after the warranty goes up, I seemed to be in need of e new $3915 part, rather than a double flush and a pat on the back. I called Honda Canada immediately after I git this news, explainng my situation, they said they would review my service history and get back to me as soon as possible. It's been a week. Nature of the beast. Replies to this message: rfreitas (Oct 04, 2008 4:51 am)

Replying to: dustin0022 (Oct 03, 2008 7:14 pm) That stinks, hopefully you have reciepts for you transmission flushes. Contact the attorneys, see my previous post #838   I sent a letter to Honda America corporate and Japan. I just got a letter from Honda Japan, they said they would contact Honda America for me, but the final decision would be from Honda America.
