I got check engine light on recently for my 2000 Honda Odyssey, with the code P0740. It's really unlucky for so bad transmission problem.

On June 28, our 1999 Honda Odyssey LX lost all electrical power and engine power while traveling on I-94 E bound between battle creek mi and the exit to I-69. The emergency flashers would not activate. We were able to coast to a stop on the shoulder, then after placing the car in park and switching off the ignition, I was able to restart the car. It ran fine for the next two hours, but the same thing happened while traveling South on I-75 North of dayton, oh. This time, I noticed the gauges came back on and was able to resume the cruise control and proceed with out stopping. In got case, traffic was not so heavy as to be a danger, and luckily we were not in the passing lane. The same failure occurred just before we made it onto our street, but for a shorter time and we continued home. The next night, while returning home on local streets, going about 35mph, this failure occurred again, but this time, we had the headlight on (it was about 9:15pm), and we lost all lighting (interior gauges and exterior). On June 30, the dealer was able to locate the problem - failed ignition switch electrical contacts. The dealer claims this car had been serviced for this problem previously as a result of a recall. I checked your online notices: May 16, 2002 NHTSA: 02V120000. Electrical system ignition switch. This recall needs to be re-issued for this safety related problem. We would have had serious problems in bad weather; loss of windshield wipers as well as lighting and brake lights. And at night, it could have been very bad on the highway.

The van engine turned off while driving on the freeway at 70mph while my family and I were on the third lane. I almost got in an accident trying to get to the right shoulder. Van speed was down to 40mph while making rights to get the right shoulder. The van started immediately, and we went on our way. After exiting the free way the engine again stopped but this time we were in the middle of the intersection. The lights turned red and I was blocking on coming traffic and the person behind me was honking his horn. I put the van in park and restarted the it and continued through the red light. Mean while my wife noticed smoke coming out of the steering wheel. When I got home that evening I removed the cover and ignition switch was overheating and killing the engine ( solder joints on the wires were melting). I looked up this problem on the internet and it conformed the switch problem also the van was recalled for that reason. I call Honda and I was told that this recall was done on this van. The engine stopped multiple times while driving till I got the part replaced. The issue here is that the recall did not work, and the replaced parts have the same problem as the original recall ( overheating switch). I have replaced the switch. But the design is still bad and that will help only temporary. Stopping the van in the middle of the free way of the intersection comes with heavy risks.
