2002 Honda Odyssey Power Train

Unknown

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The transmission How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When I was on the highway the car lost power and I was almost rear-ended by a car when I was stopped on the freeway on my way to the doctor. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, I am a recent buyer and do not have much information about previous problems with this vehicle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, when it broke down, I just called the tow truck and they transported it to a mechanic and the mechanic put the machine in to find out what the fault was, and he told me and showed me that the fault was in the transmission and the cost would be $1800 to $2000 dollars or so to fix it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, before the breakdown the car turned on a light that I didn't recognize but I kept going because I was on the freeway and a few meters ahead the accelerator didn't respond, so I had to pull off the road to call the tow truck. Personal, I don't have any documents to prove this because logically I don't have $2000 dollars to fix the transmission. When I was with the mechanic and he checked the car he just showed me and said what it meant. the light that came on the dashboard. Also, yesterday I received this paper and it said that if the car shows up with more faults to come in with the code that comes on the document. I found it strange to receive it because according to me when I bought the car, everything was in good condition and now the transmission is not working, apart from the air bag. For these reasons I would like to know how I can take the car to them, if it does not walk and to get it to them, I have to take the tow truck.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 50 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND SLOW DOWN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WITH MAXIMUM PRESSURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND WAS PROVIDED A REPAIR ESTIMATE FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MY WIFE HAS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH A RECALL NOTICE FOR A PCM. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER IS P48, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 04V-176. THE VEHICLE VIN IS [XXX]. THE ISSUE IS REGARDING A PCM RECALL FOR 2002 ODYSSEY WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION, WHICH MY WIFE?S CAR DOES NOT HAVE. HER CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TAKEN IS WEST BROAD HONDA IN RICHMOND VIRGINIA. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL, IT IS A SERVICE BULLETIN, SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE CASE MANAGER AT HONDA AGREED AS WELL THAT IT IS A SERVICE BULLETIN AND DOES NOT PERTAIN TO MY CAR. I TALKED TO THE CASE MANAGER LAST ON MONDAY APRIL 29, AND DESPITE LEAVING MESSAGES SINCE THEN FOR HER TO CALL ME WITH A STATUS UPDATE, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY SUBMITTED A ?FIXED BY INSPECTION? REPORT TO HONDA ON MONDAY, BUT THERE IS STILL A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS THE PROBLEM: I AM IN THE MILITARY, AND I HAVE TO DROP THIS CAR OFF NEXT WEEK FOR SHIPMENT TO MY NEXT DUTY STATION IN ALASKA. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT A VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS REQUIRED THAT I PROVIDE PROOF THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL, AND I CANNOT DO THAT BECAUSE OF THIS. I TRULY HAVE NO OTHER RECOURSE, AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ON MY END TO FIX THIS. FURTHERMORE, IT REALLY SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTINUALLY CALL ABOUT GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

3RD GEAR HAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT, IT SLIPS WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN OPENED AND 3RD GEAR CLUTCH PACK IS COMPLETELY WORN OUT AND SPRING IS WARPED AND WAS STUCK IN 3RD CLUTCH DRUM. TRANSMISSION FAILURE

TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON 2ND TO 3RD GEAR OR DISENGAGES ALTOGETHER UPON ACCELERATION WHICH IS HAPPENING ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS LATELY. TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGES ARE MADE EVERY 30K MILES BY DEALER. OIL JET RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED UPON TSB NOTIFICATION, ADDED OIL COOLER, CLEANED AND/OR REPLACED FILTER AND SOLENOIDS JUST TO PROLONG THE INEVITABLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY PULLED OVER A CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE ON BACK WINDOW (LIQUID) AND IN FRONT OF CAR PULLED OVER IT WAS COMING OUT UNDERNEATH MY CAR HAD TO GET CAR TOWED DYLAN SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES WITH THE TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN WORKED ON BEFORE FIRST I.CALLED DEALER BEFORE GETTING IT TOWED .GOT IT TOWED TO DEALER APPROX 2 DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT ONCE I GOT TO MY HOME THAT'S WHEN THEY CAME AND TOWED IT AND END RESULTS WAS TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. AFTER PARKING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, IT ROLLED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING AND CRASHED INTO THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION. SINCE THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE STARTER KEY AND EXIT THE VEHICLE THAT THE VEHICLE, SHE BELIEVED THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

IT HAPPENED BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT. THE RECENT TIMES IT OCCURRED WERE ON LAST FRIDAY. PRESSING GAS PADDLE WON'T SPEED UP THE VEHICLE, BUT JUST RUNS THE ENGINE LIKE CRAZY WHEN I DROVE AFTER A STOP SIGN AND LEFT THE GAS STATION. BOTH TIME I WAS MANAGE TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK TO NORMAL SPEED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, FOUND LOTS SAME CASES, I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS THE SIGN THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL !!!

VAN HAS 159000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING, TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHILE SHIFTING. SHUDDERS AND JERKS WHILE SHIFTING. A ROAD HAZARD, CONCERNED IT MAY CAUSE BEING REAR ENDED BY OTHER VEHICLES.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SLIPS. CHECK ENGINE AND SRS LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME EVEN AFTER RESETS. "D" LIGHT FLASHES OCCASIONALLY. SLIPS AND SOMETIMES JUST STAYS IN NEUTRAL WHEN COLD. HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR ABOUT 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES NOW STEADILY. I AM 2ND OWNER AND FIRST OCCURRED BACK IN 2006 / 2007 WHEN FIRST OBTAINED VEHICLE. HAS FLUID LINE RECALL DONE. HONDA STATED NO PROBLEMS FOUND WHENEVER I BROUGHT IN AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT. I HAVE DRIVEN CAR CAREFULLY SINCE FIRST OCCURRENCE BUT NOW WARNING LIGHTS ALWAYS ON. REBUILT TRANNY ABOUT $3500 TO $4000. LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT DECIDING WHETHER TO KEEP OR GET SOMETHING ELSE. HONDA HAS NOT BEEN TOO GOOD OR UPFRONT WITH SUPPORT.

SLIPPING IN 2ND GEAR AS IM COMING ONTO HIGHWAY WONT SHIFT OVER 20MPH HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES COULDVE GOT ME AND MY CHILDREN SERIOUSLY HURT THEY NEED TO FIX ALL TRANSMISSIONS WITH THIS PROBLEM VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. GOOD THING MY DAD DOESNT LIVE FAR. I WAS TOO SCARED TO DRIVE ALL THE WAY HOME. WHAT IF THERE IS NOT A NEXT TIME BECAUSE THE PERSON BEHIND ME ISNT PAYING ATTENTION WHEN MY TRANNY SLIPS AND THERES A CRASH AND MAYBE EVEN A DEATH. MY KIDS WERE BEYOND SCARED. MOMMY ARE WE GOING TO DIE? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION EVER TO MY CHILDREN.

MY POWER TRAINED MESSED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IN A BUNCH OF TRAFFIC COULDN'T GO OVER 20MPH

WHEN I DRIVE AT NORMAL SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND I FEEL AN ERRATIC JERKING MOTION CAUSING ME TO PUSH AGAINST THE SEAT BELT. NO ENGINE OR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT ANY TIME. I CHECKED WITH MY MECHANIC AND HE DIAGNOSED THIS AS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHERE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD AND 3RD & 4TH GEAR. I CALLED HONDA HOTLINE AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SEE THAT SEVERAL OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH TRANSMISSION SLIPPING.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. ON 11/07/2014, VAN FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR WAS ON. I HAD VAN TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPT. AT DEALERSHIP SAID ECL CODE WAS P0730 & THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE APPROX FAILURE MILEAGE ON VAN WAS 62,000 MILES. I HAD TO PAY $3500 FOR HAVING THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT 3RD GEAR HAD HEAT DISCOLORATION & IS BURNED UP ALONG WITH THE CLUTCHES. I HAVE THE PHOTOS & ALSO THE DAMAGED PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE I HAD LOW MILEAGE I CONTACTED HONDA BUT THEY REFUSED ANY HELP SAYING WARRANTY PERIOD ON VAN HAD EXPIRED. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA'S RECALL DEPT, SINCE I FELT THAT THE BURNT 3RD GEAR WAS RELATED TO TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING PROBLEM PER 2004 HONDA RECALL FOR 2001 TO 2004 VANS. HONDA SAID THAT RECALL WAS FOR 2ND GEAR & MY DISCOLORATION WAS ON 3RD GEAR. THIS IS LIKE SPLITTING HAIR; SINCE INTERNAL DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION WAS DUE TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. I FEEL WITH SINGLE OWNER & LOW MILEAGE OF VAN & WITH THE HEAT DISCOLORATION OF TRANSMISSION PARTS, HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP. THEREFORE, HONDA SHOULD PAY ME FOR MY COST TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. THE 2004 RECALL LETTER CLEARLY STATES "IF HEAT DISCOLORATION EXISTS, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE TRANSMISSION". THAT LETTER FURTHER STATES "THIS WORK WILL BE DONE FREE OF CHARGE." I FEEL HONDA IS REFUSING TO HONOR THE INTENT OF THE 2004 RECALL LETTER. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR ONLY. HAPPENS UNPREDICTABLY, WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT AND TRANS. HAS NOT HEATED UP YET OR AFTER HAVING DRIVEN FOR QUITE A WHILE. NO OTHER SYMPTOMS, NO CLUNKING OR VIBRATION, JUST SEEMS TO GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. DOESN'T HAPPEN DURING EVERY OUTING. SEEMS TO CORRECT IF I DOWNSHIFT AND THEN SHIFT BACK UP TO D. BUT POSES A DANGER WHEN IT HAPPENS AS I AM PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. DEALER SAID A RECALL SERVICE WAS DONE BY PREVIOUS OWNER, SOME KIND OF OIL PUMP OR COOLER, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

THE VAN JERKS AS I SPEED IT UP. IT SEEMS LIKE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

HI I WAS DRIVING ON THE WEST BOUND OF RUSSEL PKWY. ONCE I STOPPED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT THEN PUSHED ACCELERATOR WHICH STARTED BACK VAN ON THE ROAD AGAIN AND WITHIN TWO MINUTE, CAR DIED THERE AND I WAS TRYING TO START ENGINE STILL DID NOT WORK. I KEPT TRYING MULTIPLE TIMES BUT DID NOT WORK. I CALLED 911 AND I GOT HELP AND WE PULLED VAN TO THE PARKING AREA. THEN I TRIED AGAIN AND MY VAN BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. SO, I WAS LUCKY TO HAPPEN ON THE LOCAL ROAD WITHIN SLOW SPEED AND BACK VEHICLE WITH WAS DISTANT. IF HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, THEN IT WOULD BE DISASTERS. I LOOKED ON THE WEB SITE AND SEEMS LIKE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. THERE WAS RECALL ON IT BUT IT WAS NOT ON THIS VIN VEHICLE. SO, I AM GOING TO CHECK VEHICLE BY AUTHORIZED DEALERS. I WILL UPDATE YOU ASAP. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 130,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACE AT 80,000 MILES. I EXPERIENCED SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR UP HILL AT AROUND 134,000 MILES. THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED TO MY PREVIOUS HONDA ODYSSEY A 2001 MODEL. IT'S TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. SO, I AM FAIRLY CONFIDENT THIS TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO GO OUT AS WELL. *TR

I PURCHASED HONDA ODYSSEY AT DEALER "THE AUTO CENTER" 3110 PETALUMA BLVD. NORTH PETALUMA CA 94952 AND WAS NOT TOLD THAT THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION RECALL ON THESE VANS (RECALL #04V176000). I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE COMFORTABLY AND AT LONG DISTANCE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS WEARING OFF THUS CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION OIL INCREASING THE CHANCES OF EXTREME HEAT ON THIS PART. HE RECOMMENDS HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. *TR

TRANSMISSION 4TH GEAR PRESSURE SENSOR FAILED, CAUSING THE "D" INDICATOR LIGHT TO FLASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

TRANSMISSION (POWER TRAIN) STARTED FAILING IN LESS THAN 100K MILES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND CONFIRMED THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE DEALER CONTACTED THE DISTRICT HONDA MANAGER IN THE SF BAY AREA AND HONDA REFUSED TO SHARE THE COST. ALL THE SERVICES WERE DONE FOR THE FIRST THREE YEARS IN THE SAME HONDA DEALERSHIP. I MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE VERY WELL WITH TIMELY TRANSMISSION OIL CHECKS AND CHANGES. I AM SURPRISED TO FIND THAT SEVERAL OF MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES ARE SEEING THE PROBLEM AT A LOW MILEAGE SUCH AS 100K. I TRUSTED HONDA'S QUALITY AND DISAPPOINTED THAT AN IMPORTANT AND COSTLY COMPONENT SUCH AS TRANSMISSION BREAKS DOWN AT A LOW MILEAGE. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY, 212,200 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR AND ALSO WHEN SHIFTING FROM NEUTRAL INTO REVERSE. TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED A FEW YEARS BACK, WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS EVEN TOLD THIS ABOUT 45 DAYS AGO DURING A VISIT FOR MAJOR MAINTENANCE. YET, WITHIN THE LAST 8-10 DAYS, THESE PROBLEMS HAVE SUDDENLY APPEARED. THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS THAT OTHER 1999-2004 ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE REPORTING AND ARE THE ONES THAT WERE THE REASON FOR THE RECALL. HONDA AND THE DEALER DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT INSTALL A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF OVER $6100.00. THIS IS 3 TIMES THE VALUE OF THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED SHIFTING BETWEEN SECOND TO THIRD GEARS WHILE THE SPEED DECREASED TO 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE RESUMED TO NORMAL SPEED ONCE IT TRANSITIONED INTO FORTH GEAR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,068.
