AS CAN BE SEEN, THIS SAME DESIGN FLAW HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 12,000 MILES. THE CONTROLLER WAS "TOO SENSITIVE" AND REPLACED, WHICH BRINGS INTO QUESTION THE REASON FOR THE ULTIMATE CLUTCH FAILURE. FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE, FOR INSTANCE, SHOULD THIS OCCUR DURING ACCELERATION INTO BUSY TRAFFIC. REQUESTING ASSISTANCE ASAP. NOTE: CAR WAS PURCHASED AT GRIFFITH HONDA, BALTIMORE, MD, BUT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED AT O'DONNELL HONDA, ELLICOTT CITY, MD.*AK |
| 2003 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN FALL OF 2010. I AM A CAREFUL DRIVER, TAKEN CARE TO MAINTAIN MY CAR ACCORDING TO SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. THE TRANSMISSION FELT A LITTLE LOOSE FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN ONE DAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK IT COMPLETELY FAILED. I COULDN'T GET INTO ANY GEAR. I CALLED HONDA AND ASKED FOR HELP AND THEY SAID MY CAR WAS TOO OLD AND IT WAS NORMAL FOR TRANSMISSIONS TO FAIL. THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR WAS 134760. I HAD TO HAVE A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT AAMCO FOR $3000. THIS CAR HAS HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS, AND HONDA REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I'VE HAD THE KEY CORE GO BAD, MY DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR HAD BEEN "FIXED" 3 TIMES AND STILL WON'T CLOSE PROPERLY, ALL THE PAINT IS PEELING ALL OVER THE CAR, AND HONDA WOULD ONLY REPAINT PORTIONS OF THE CAR AS PART OF THE RECALL. SO ONE SIDE OF MY CAR AND THE BACK IS COMPLETELY PEELED AWAY, AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAINT IT, UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE IT DONE. *TR |
