"If there was a problem with your transmission shifting you likely would feel it. i.e slipping...slamming... engine racing.. hesitation"
Both times the tranny went bad in my wife's '00 Ody, all the above symptoms were preceded by a "check engine" light.

Whirl sound from engine

Okay, I hope you guys can help me. I have a 2007 Ody with 13,300 miles. Yesterday, I was driving on local roads w/ traffic lights going anywhere from 40 to 60. I noticed a high pitch whirl sound coming from the engine when I would accelerate or decelerate to a stop. There was no sound when I was sitting at the light. I ran my errand and the car sat in a parking lot for a couple of hours. I did the reverse trip home and no sound. Could it be one of the belts? If so, isn't it early for me to having problems with the belt. I have an appt with the dealer on Monday. If I can't replicate the noise, am I wasting my time going to the dealer? Also, is this a warranty issue or are they going to argue wear and tear?

Is this true for all Odysseys or just '05+? I have an '06 with a tranny that just started whining and shifting a little differently. The fluid is slightly low. I've done some light towing. The car has 48K miles.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I have a 2008 Ody and at 50 miles an hour we have sputtering engine sound. I have heard of people complain on a engine pinging but it does not seem to fit that. They seem to notice going up hill. We you going up hill on the way their and downhill on the way home? I have heard of a heat shield problem that is what I think we have at 50 mph we get a noise from a heat shield vibration.

I just lost a dear friend after his 2008 odyssey went forward over him after he got out of the car. I don't know if it was in park or not or in drive, although a witness apparently got in the car and said they had to shift it into park. Do you think it is possible at all that the van could have gone from park to drive on it's own and shifted gears so that it said it was in drive? I noticed that you said that your van was in park and went forward on it's own but it was in park when you got in the van. I still can't believe that my friend is dead over this and the thought that it may be because of a transmission problem really disturbs me. Please excuse my ignorance about transmission stuff as I know nothing about cars.

Think about this - if your friend has time to get out the car and walk to the front of it, then the car was stopped for enough time for him to do the above. How can you have the car stop without a driver on the driver seat? It was supposed that that the shift stick was in PARK position and possible some weird thing made the transmission engaged. This is assumed no one was sure (everything was in a hurry)whether the stick position was still in PARK or already in DRIVE (that has to travel from P to R, and N before reached D) after this terrible accident happened.

Hi - No, it was making it on all conditions, hills and flat surfaces and at all speeds. Of course, went to the dealer and they could not find anything wrong and told me to bring it back when it happens all the time. I haven't had the same level of noise, but it does come back from time to time.

Suggest to service that you want to leave your car for a couple of days for the tech drive to home -> work -> home -> work in order to locate whirl sound from engine...

vamomtobe: anytime you have any strange sound or action coming from your Ody, head for the dealer. If you are out of town, go to the nearest dealer. They may not find anything, but there may be a code in your van's computer, which they will check. No code, no action. Sooner or later, your van will tell them what's up, and you will be in the Honda system. That will demonstrate to them that you have had problems in the past, and will help you with a claim. Since you are still under warranty, they should hop right on it. Later, you'll be happy you had it in their computer for off-warranty claims. Yes, its early for problems, but if you read through this website, you'll find that a lot of us had a lot of problems, both in and out of warranty. Best wishes...

Another one bites the dust- 2002 Ody 52K miles (yes only 52K!)

Add me to the list of Ody transmission victims--
As usual, first we had missed shifts and engine revving, then TCS light and finally check-engine light. Dealer foolishly replaced a pressure sensor switch and charged me $250 before concluding it was time for a new tranny. We took it in before total failure, to try to avoid the stops-in-middle-of-road syndrome. Honda offered to cover 25% but no more, so I'm out $3K and get the 3/36 warranty. I tried all the "magic words" about how everyone was having this problem etc, but got no farther. I do have service records, but only some are dealer, some local shop.
The van is "fixed" now, but I'll keep bugging Honda to see if they'll pay more.
I've given my info to the class action lawyer in NYC; they're very interested, I guess mine is one of the lower-mileage examples.
If you've had an 02-05 transmission failure, please call the lawyers (212-566-4047) to get on their list...painless, takes 5 minutes, nothing to lose. They have about 120 people so far, and that doesn't seem to be quite enough to make them file.
Also, report it to NHTSA at http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm
No more Hondas for me...
