Replying to: ypant (Sep 20, 2008 4:00 am) 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.

Replying to: dustin0022 (Oct 03, 2008 7:14 pm) 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. |

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?!!!! |

Replying to: suefisch (Oct 06, 2008 8:20 am) 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: bobber1 (Oct 06, 2008 4:04 pm) 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. |

Replying to: ljolley (Aug 12, 2008 3:50 pm) 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. |

If you think the transmission should be fixed by Honda Goodwill Repair, please make sure you contact the right parties... Out of warranty: Any repair performed after warranty expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone Office. You must request consideration, and get a decision, before starting work.
