#837 of 1281 Re: Are there any non-problem trannys out there [seminara] by ebotrd Oct 03, 2008 (7:03 am)
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.
#841 of 1281 2002 honda odyssey transmission by suefisch Oct 06, 2008 (8:20 am)
The transmission in my 2002 Honda Odyssey needs to be replaced at 87,000 mile. I bought the 7 year extended warranty. It expired on Friday, Oct. 3rd. I didn't drive it on Friday. On Saturday, Oct 4th I started the car and the MIL was on and the D was blinking. I just brought it to the dealer. I have to pay for labor ($1200) Honda is paying for parts ($3800). How unbelievable is this?!!!! Replies to this message: rfreitas (Oct 06, 2008 8:32 am) suefisch (Oct 06, 2008 1:09 pm) bobber1 (Oct 06, 2008 4:04 pm) suefisch (Oct 06, 2008 4:26 pm)

Replying to: suefisch (Oct 06, 2008 8:20 am) Unbelieveable, it really makes me mad when I see new posts every other day of people having the same problem, and Honda tries to say there is no known issue with the transmission if you had the recall work done. Yet they still cover part of it. They need to be held accountable and cover 100% for everyone since they obviously have a faulty part.   I hate to sound like a broken record, but contact the attorneys. The secretary that I talked to said she gets calls every day. Hopefully the more they get, the quicker the lawsuit will take place and we can all get our money back.

Replying to: suefisch (Oct 06, 2008 8:20 am) I just received a call from the dealer. It turns out the transmission is fine. A squirrel chewed through something called the "TCC Silenoid" (This is possible - I live on 5 very woodsy acres. For the last year the van as been outside (it was previously kept in the garage until a year ago when I replaced it with an Acura MDX) and this time of year squirrels are building nests. Now that it is out of warranty and I can't leave it outside because of the squirrels I will be bringing it to car max. Other than this problem it has been great for 7 years (and why I bought another Honda/Acura.) I "wasted" $1000 on the extended warranty.

Replying to: suefisch (Oct 06, 2008 8:20 am) If Honda is providing the transmission which costs $3,800 and you're paying the labor of $1,200, They're paying for 75% of the transmission replacement which is pretty darn fair in my opinion. Few if any other car companies would do that especially for a vehicle that is very near 100,000 miles. Replies to this message: suefisch (Oct 06, 2008 4:26 pm)

Replying to: bobber1 (Oct 06, 2008 4:04 pm) I agree. I was happy they were willing to pay 75%. I was more upset it happened the day after the extended warranty expired. In the end it turned out not to be the transmission (see post #843). I had all scheduled maintenance done at the same dealer for 7 years. They offered me "the only pay labor deal" right from the start. They initatied calls to Honda without me even requesting it. I know a lot of people on this board have had a lot problems with their Odysseys, but mine was perfect for 7 years and 87,000 miles.
#846 of 1281 Re: 2008 Honda Odyssey.. beware [ljolley] by meetme25 Oct 08, 2008 (4:16 pm)
Replying to: ljolley (Aug 12, 2008 3:50 pm) I opened a case with BBB and sent all my repair documents to them and they had contacted Honda and Honda decided to settle. They offered either to replace the vehicle or buy back. After all I had gone through I opted for buy back.   Here's what I would suggest, open a case with BBB. You can do this online. Once they accept the case they will send you documenation that needs to be filled out. After you send it back to them it takes approximately 20 days for them to contact Honda and get back to you with the next steps.   Good luck.
