I have 2002 Honda Odyssey ex car and saw a check engine light turned on my vehicle while I was driving. I went to nearby Honda dealer for a diagnosis and they told me its a transmission issue and needs to be replaced. Also about the Honda Odyssey transmission recall for this 2002 model.my car had only 82000 miles on it. Honda rep. Told me it will take $4600 to fix the problem in their concern. I have 2 infants and I am scared to accompany them in this car because of the transmission issue. Also Honda is not helping to fix their own problem.

While driving the minivan on the highway, it would slip out of gear (around 2nd or 3rd gear). I had to let off the gas pedal to wait for it to re-engage. This happened a second time on 02/02/12 at which time I took it for diagnosis, the dealership told me I needed to replace the transmission ($4,150) without mentioning anything about the previous recall by Honda. I then called american Honda motor, they said if there is a problem with the 2nd gear the dealership can complete the safety recall for the second time and file a warranty claim. The dealership didn't offer this option claiming there was no warranty on the transmission.

The automatic transmission slips between 2nd and 3rd gear, and in reverse. This is a very dangerous condition to have when trying to pull out into of merge with traffic. I am the original owner of this vehicle and have had all recalls performed as verified through my local dealer where I purchase the vehicle.

I began having trouble on the transmission with slipping gears (2nd and 3rd) a few weeks ago, and jerky shifting when going into reverse, drive, etc. I've had to release the accelerator and reapply it to engage the gears several times a day. Tcs and check engine light were on. This happened to me in the past but the errors went out. The last time I have to reset the power by removing one connector of the battery.

Private sale purchase Feb 2009, 80K. Since 06/2011, transmission shifts hard. Transmission is increasingly missing gear. High engine revs between shifting 1->2. had transmission serviced per recommendations, non Honda service station. Recently had the fluid changed. Same service station has been working on this car since it was purchased. We have been maintaining at a local non Honda dealer. I have been doing business with this service station for 25 years.

When my vehicle reached 85,000 miles, my transmission started to slip. The transmission need to be replaced. As a vehicle owner, I would expect a transmission to last around 100,000/150,000 miles. In 9/2011, I barely reached another 87,000 miles when the transmission started to slip again. I had my 4 young children in the car. The car would no longer accelerate as I was going up a bridge. The road had no shoulder to pull over on. I was in very great danger as 18 wheelers tried to pass me. I needed a new transmission. Priority Honda in chesapeake quoted me $6000 to replace. I felt that it was Honda responsibility to replace their faulty transmission. I called american Honda. The rep informed me that it would have to be the 2nd gear. Priority said that it had something to do with the torque converter. I went elsewhere to have my vehicle repaired. I had 3 other locations that told me it was the 2nd and 3rd gears slipping. I feel that priority Honda had totally disregarded me as a customer. I have always taken my vehicle in to a Honda dealer for maintenance/repairs. Whatever I was told that I needed done, I would have done. I am disappointed in the service I received from priority Honda from the same rep from the past 8 yrs. This past week, once again, my van has left me stranded on the side of the highway with my 4 young children. Transmission again. Unfortunately, this was due to the workmanship of the company that has replaced the transmission. I feel that this could have been avoided. First, if Honda made a transmission that was reliable, I would have not had to replace it two times. Second, if Honda would stand behind their product, I would not have had to outsource to have the work done. I feel that my vehicle is in a stated of unreliability and with 4 young children ranging from ages 3 to 11, I can no longer put our safety at risk.

Prior the transmission failure, I was listening to a weird sound coming from the engine compartment. I took the vehicle to a Honda dealer where they diagnostic a transmission problem. Only after 3 or 4 weeks, I was driving about 30 mph when the transmission started failing. I was able to make a U-turn and take the car home. After that the car is sitting in my driveway unable to move. I am very disappointed with Honda due to all of the complaints about the same problem and they just have ignored all of them. Shame on you Honda!!!

The van fails to gain speed and does not go beyond 20-25 miles per hour occasionally. Most of the times it happens after stop N go situation at the traffic lights or entering a freeway if you have to stop at the entry due to metering on during heavy traffic times. No accident yet, but can cause serious accident. Honda refuses to take responsible of poor design or workmanship yet it seems to be a well know problem with Honda Odyssey 2002.

Failed on interstate @ 50mph.

At 115000 miles the transmission started getting stuck in neutral between 1st and 2nd gear. I took it in to a mechanic who said it looked like the transmission was failing but no codes were coming up. A couple weeks later as the transmission slipped my check engine light came on as well as the tcs light. I took it back to the mechanic who got the code P0730 and told me the transmission needed to be replaced. I got a hold of my dealer who could not help me but could replace the transmission at full price. Honda Corp. Just hung up on me when I started asking them about the recall back in 2004. I spoke with a co-worker about there 2002 Honda Odyssey and there transmission went 2 months ago with under 100,000 miles. He also had problems speaking with Corp. & dealer I will never buy Honda again!!
