| 2003 | POWER TRAIN | WITHOUT MUCH OR ANY WARNING MY TRANSMISSION FAILED (THE DREADED P0730 CODE SHOWED UP ON THE SCANNER) ON MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L VAN WITH ONLY 100,325 MILES. THE VAN WAS NEVER ABUSED OR USED TO TOW. TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT 1.30.12 BY PRIVATE SHOP CONTINENTAL TRANSMISSION FOR $1800. (TORQUE CONVERTER BLOWN TO PIECES). HONDA DOES HAVE LIMITED RECALLS ON TRANNYS BUT MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED (ONLY IF 2ND SHAFT IS BROKEN & SCORED AND BURNT/ BLUISH COLOR) THIS WILL DOCUMENTED TRANNY PROBLEM WITH 2ND GENERATION ODYSSEY IS VERY UPSETTING AND I BLAME IT ON A POOR DESIGN BY HONDA ENGINEERS (UNDER SIZED TRANNY PAIRED WITH A POWER V6 240HP HEAVY 4500LBS VAN HAS BEEN A RECIPE FOR PREMATURE FAILURE). THE WORST PART WAS ON 1.5.12 I JUST HAD EXTENSIVE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE DONE AT DON DAVIS HONDA (TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP, TENSIONER AND POWER STEERING BELTS) AND TWO WEEKS LATER THE TRANSMISSION FAILS!!! OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VAN HAVE BEEN, AC COMPRESSOR FAILED MAY 2010 88,648 MILES. REAR WIPER MOTOR FAILED MARCH 2011 89,240 MILES, BOTH SLIDING POWER DOOR ROLLERS HAD TO REPLACED. BRAKE SWITCH FAILED (LOCKED UP), DEC 2011 98,750 MILES VAN WOULD NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK. NOT REAL HAPPY OR CONFIDENT WITH HONDA RIGHT NOW! *TR |
| 1998 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH | JUST ANOTHER OWNER WISHING RECALL # 03V423000 APPLIED TO THE 1998 HONDA ODYSSEY IN ADDITION TO THE 1998 HONDA ACCORD. SINCE AT LEAST A YEAR BEFORE THAT RECALL WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION OF THE ODYSSEY WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT IN PARK. ON OCCASION THE CAR ROLLED FORWARD OR BACK UNTIL IT BUMPED SOMETHING OR ROLLED PART WAY INTO THE STREET. WHEN THE HONDA RECALL CAME OUT THE DEALER HOWDY HONDA IN AUSTIN SAID THAT IT DID NOT APPLY TO THE ODYSSEY, AND HONDA DEALERSHIPS DID NOT HAVE AN INTERNAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO FIX ODYSSEYS IF OWNERS COMPLAINED.*AK |
