TREND OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE EARLY MODEL 1999-2002 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. WHILE MY TRANSMISSION FAILURE DID NOT RESULT IN CRASH OR INJURY, THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF ODYSSEY OWNERS THAT REPORT THE SAME FAILURE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. I BOUGHT A NEW 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM LEJEUNE HONDA (JACKSONVILLE NC) ON 31 DEC 2001. AT APPROX 70,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP, RESULTING IN NO ACCELERATION FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS, UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION CAUGHT. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 70,000 MILES. AT 115,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. AT 115,000 MILES, I 'M ON MY THIRD TRANSMISSION. I DON'T LET MY WIFE OR KIDS USE THE VAN, FOR FEAR THAT THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SUSPENSION
THE CAR PULLS TO LEFT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MPH AND GET WORSE THE HIGHER THE SPEED. I AM FAMILIAR WITH HONDA ODYSSEY AS I HAVE OWNED THIS ONE SINCE 2003 AND IT HAS 180000 MILES. THIS NEW ONE DRIVES FINE IN TOWN AND AT SPEEDS 60 OR BELOW. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY DID RE ALIGNMENT AND LOWERED TIRE PRESSURE TO 30 PSI BUT I LIKE TO RUN AT LEAST 35 PSI. CAN YOU LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM. I LOVE THE CAR OTHERWISE. IT IS NO FUN TO FIGHT A CAR TRYING TO PULL TO THE LEFT AT 75 MPH. IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *JB
