2006 Honda Odyssey Transmission Problems

While driving at 65 mph, your Odyssey made an abnormal sound, shuddered, and lost the ability to accelerate. After restarting and parking it, an independent mechanic diagnosed a failed transmission. The transmission may need to be rebuilt or replaced, which is a major repair.

Ongoing issues regarding engine mounts

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ONCE THE ENGINE REACHES OPERATING TEMPERATURE THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE AND SHIFT GEARS. I MASH THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPM GAUGE GOES UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE. I LET THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COOL DOWN AND SOMETIMES IT WILL OPERATE PROPERLY AGAIN UNTIL EVERYTHING WARMS UP. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IM SITTING AT A LIGHT OR IN ACTUAL MOTION GOING DOWN THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE CEASES TO CONTINUE MOVING. I HAVE BEEN GOING 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOSES ALL MOVEMENT BUT THE CAR IS STILL REVING UP AND I CAN CHANGE GEARS BUT IT STOPS ME DEAD IN MY TRACKS. I CALLED THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY TELL ME ITS A VERY COMMON ISSUE BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE PINPOINTED

MY ENGINE EXPLODED ON SATURDAY DEC 12 ABOUT 10 OCLOCK WHEN WE TURNED THE IGNITION TO START THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY.

WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, IT FEELS LIKE MY TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING LIKE A MANUAL. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN IM SLOWING DOWN / COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. *TR

VEHICLE HAS A APPROXIMATELY 140,000 MI. WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 65 MPH.TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKUP MALFUNCTIONED AND WENT INTO NEUTRAL. HAD TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO EXIT. WHEN SPEED PERMITTED SHIFT DOWN TO WND AND QSTACKS GEAR AND WAS ABLE TO LIMP INTO A PARKIN* LOT. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION FACILITY. PULLED THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK AND SMELLED THE FLUID WHICH EMITTED A VERY PUNGENT SMELL. THE FLUID WAS NOT BLACK. THE FLUID HAD BEEN CHANGED 15- 20,000 MI EARLIER. WHEN TALKING TO MECHANIC HE TOLD ME ALMOST EXACTLY HOW MANY M8LES HE THOUGHT THE CAR HAD BECAUSE HE HAD SEEN SO MANY HONDA'S WITH EXACTLY THIS SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA DID NOT DESIGN THIS TRANSMISSION PROPERLY TO LAST WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE AND FLUID CHANGES.

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING FREEZING UP ON SLOW TURNS AND THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH IS STUCK MAKING THE CAR TRANSMISSION HEAT UP AND QUIT UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN, I WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD 4X FOR THIS. ONCE WITH MY 97 YR OLD BROTHER IN LAW AND 79 YR OLD SISTER.THEY WANT $4000 TO FIX THIS. THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR CABLE BROKE ALSO.I HAD THE RUN FLAT PAX TIRES ON IT WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED, I WAS NOT TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE AT LEAST 100 TO 200 MILES TO GET THEM CHANGED OUT AS THEY NEED A SPECIAL MACHINE TO FIX THEM. I HAD TO BUY NEW RIMS AND TIRES FOR $1500. I HAVE 125,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I WILL NEVER BUY OR RECOMMEND A HONDA TO ANYONE.

TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERTY SPECIFICALLY IN THE R GEAR

I WAS DRIVING FINE, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND THERE WAS NO POWER. TURN ON AGAIN, IT WORKED. DRIVE FOR 2 MILES, IT TOTALLY SHUP DOWN AGAIN. NO POWER, NOTHING.

POWER TRAN FAILED. MISSING FIRE 3 SPARK PLUGS REAR SIDE ENGINE.

FOR STARTERS I HAD TRANSMISSION REBUIT AND ITS NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN THIS IS AT 120000 MILES THEN AT 135000 MILES. I HAVENT GOT IT REPLACED YET, BUT MY MECHANIC GAVE ME THE WARNING. ALSO SAID ALL ODYSSEYS TRANSMISSIONS FAIL.LIKE ITS A ONGOING PROBLEM. NUMBER 2. MY PASSENGERFRONT DOOR GETS STUCK AND YOU CANT OPEN OT EVEN THOUGH ITS UNLOCKED. 3..THE MIDDLE SEAT SECOND ROW THE SMALL SEAT THAT UNLATCHES, UNLATCHES WHILE DRIVING.

THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT STALLED WHEN TRAVELING AT 55 MPH CREATING A DANGER ON THE ROAD. PER MECHANIC, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 150,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL I OWN A 2006 HONDA ODESSEY AND THE TORC CONVERTER IS FAILING WILL DRIVING. HONDA HAS A COMPLAINT FAILED AGAINST THEM FOR NO ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE..

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 100,065 MILES. ORIGINAL OWNER WITH ALL SERVICE CHECKS DONE AT DEALER. RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A FAR TOO COMMON PROBLEM IN HONDA ODYSSEYS. COST TO REPAIR OVER $4,000. FEEL THE DEAL SHOULD REPLACE FOR FREE OR SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED RATE.

I DROVE MY HONDA MINIVAN FOR 10 YEARS AND ONE DAY I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT WORK AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED SO FAST THAT IT HIT THE WALL AND SET OFF THE AIR BAG. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND I HAD BURNS FROM THE THE AIRBAG ON MY NECK AND ARM.

I BOUGHT MY 06 ODYSSEY TOURING EDITION IN 2015. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND IT ONLY HAD 115,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD NO PROBLEMS AT FIRST AND THEN SOON AFTER STARTED HAVING A SHUTTERING PROBLEM AROUND 45 MPH. I HAD A SATURN VUE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD THE SAME MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION AS MY HONDA. CHEVROLET DID A RECALL ON IT I BROUGHT IT IN THE REPROGRAMMED AND RECALIBRATED IT NO PROBLEMS AFTER THAT. SO WHEN MY HONDA STARTED I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY SAID NOT ON MY VIN. SO I ASKED HOW MUCH TO REPROGRAM AND RECALIBRATE AND THE TOLD ME THAT IF IT DOES NOT HAVE A NEW UPDATE THEN THEY COULD NOT DO IT (WHICH I KNOW IS BULL SINCE WE OWN A MECHANIC SHOP AND DEAL WITH THINGS LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME). I DO NOT HAVE THE $3000 PLUS TO FIX THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND FEEL IF OTHER VEHICLE WITH SAME TRANSMISSIONS HAVE BEEN RECALLED THEN THIS ONE SHOULD BE TOO!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE VSC AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,400.

I TOOK MY VAN IN TO WILDE HONDA ON 9/17/14 FOR A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP NODULE. THE DAY I PICKED IT UP, I NOTICED A VERY LOUD SOUND FROM MY ENGINE. I HAD A FRIEND DRIVE THE CAR THE AFTERNOON OF 9/26/14 TO SEE IF HE COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. WHEN HE GOT IN TO DRIVE IT, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, MY D LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR. ADDITIONALLY, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SMELLS LIKE IT IS BURNING. I HAVE NOW HAD A MECHANIC REVIEW IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED AND I NEED TO HAVE A NEW ONE PUT IN. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AROUND 37 MPH. *TR

MY ODYSSEY NEEDS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL, AND WILL COST MORE THAN $3,000.00. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT JAPANESE VEHICLES ARE DURABLE, RELIABLE, AND LONG-LASTING, WITH TOYOTA BEING ONE OF THE BEST, BUT HONDA BEING THE BEST OF THE BEST. NOW, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH HONDA. I AM HOPING FOR HONDA TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE ODYSSEY. I HAVE 4 FRIENDS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR OWN ODYSSEYS. AND MY AUTO MECHANIC DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THIS IS A REGULAR AND CONSISTENT PROBLEM THAT IS BROUGHT TO HIM BY HIS CUSTOMERS. PLEASE RECALL THE ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION TO RELIEVE US OF THE FINANCIAL BURDEN, AND TO REGAIN OUR CONFIDENCE TO HONDA VEHICLES. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS BACKING UP IN MY HONDA WHEN I STOPPED TO SEE IF I WAS GOING TO HIT SOMETHING. I AM SURE I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK, STARTED TO EXIT THE VAN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, I WAS THE DRIVER, AND REALIZED THAT THE VAN WAS MOVING BACKWARDS. I HAD MY LEFT FOOT ON THE GROUND BEFORE I KNEW I WAS MOVING. THE DRIVERS DOOR HIT ME AND I WAS ON THE BLACK TOP HITTING MY FACE AND KNEES, MY RIGHT LEG WAS UNDER THE VAN AND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE TORE UP MY RIGHT LEG. MY DRIVERS DOOR CLOSED AND I YELLED FOR HELP WHICH SEVERAL PEOPLE CAME TO MY AID. THE PEOPLE WAS ABLE TO SHUT OFF MY VAN AND THEY LIFTED THE VAN OFF MY LEG. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE THEY STITCHED UP MY LEG AND TOOK SEVERAL X RAYS, I HAD NO BROKEN BONES. IT TOOK 3 MONTHS FOR MY WOUNDS TO HEAL AND MY KNEE STILL HAS A LOT OF PAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPM'S INCREASED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT HESITATED THREE TIMES AND SEEMED TO KINDA STOP.....MOVING FORWARD CAME UPON ANOTHER RED LIGHT AND WENT TO GO AGAIN AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO....OVER TWENTY MILES AN HOUR ANOTHER RED LIGHT AND THEN THE SAME THING COASTED TO THE SIDE AND PUT IT IN PARK CALLED AAA DEALERSHIP WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT. *TR

I NOTICED AN OIL LEAK ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC HE FOUND THAT THE SPOOL VALVE IS LEAKING. THE HONDA DEALER INFORMED US THAT THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. THE OIL IS LEAKING ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND IS A VERY POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE IS A VERY SERIOUS ONE. *TR

ENGINE VIBRATING VIOLENTLY AT SPEEDS OF 35-40 MPH AND WHEN RPM ARE BETWEEN 1,500 TO 2,000. THE POSSIBLE CAUSES ARE FAULTY ENGINE MOUNTS, TRANSMISSION, OR ENGINE. HONDA REPLACED THE POWER STEERING DUE TO PROBLEMS. I ALSO REPLACED THE RUN FLAT TIRES WITH NON RUN FLAT BECAUSE THE RUN FLAT LAST ONLY 1 YEAR. I WANT TO VIBRATION TO BE RESOLVED. THE VIBRATION APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ACCORDING TO ONLINE HONDA OWNERS GROUPS. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK ON JANUARY 14, 2014, AS I WAS GETTING UP TO SPEED (FROM 0 TO 20), THE ENGINE REVVED AROUND 2000 RPM, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE 2ND GEAR. I BACKED OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP AND I DROVE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THEIR DIAGNOSTIC REVEALED AN INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. I HAVE OWNED 7 HONDAS SINCE 1983, AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. THE VAN IS AT A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP REBUILDING THE TRANSMISSION FOR $1500, HONDA WANTED $5300. THE VAN HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED OVER THE YEARS AND I'M VERY SURPRISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD GO AT 141,000 MILES, BUT TRANSMISSION ISSUES APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ODYSSEY LINEUP OVER THE YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES PRIOR TO PURCHASE. DISAPPOINTING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE REAR AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY VALVE IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

CAR SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AT LOWERS SPEEDS(20-40). *TR

I AM WRITING YOU IN REFERENCE TO MY HONDA ODYSSEY THAT WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2006. IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR (2013) THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO HAVE THE VAN TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP IN VERMONT TO GET FIXED. THE SHOP HAD TO DO A TRANSMISSION REBUILD. THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT COST ME THREE THOUSAND AND FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE DOLLARS ($3463.00). I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF THE AUTO SHOP AND HE ADVISED ME THAT HONDA ODYSSEY'S ARE KNOWN TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I ALSO VERIFIED THIS INFORMATION ON-LINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, BURNING FUMES STARTED TO EMIT INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,699 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

HONDA TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 67K MILES. TRANSMISSION IS STILL WITH THE 3YRS/ 36K WARRANTY IN TERM OF THE YEAR BUT OVER THE MILEAGE BY 31K MILES. HONDA TRANSMISSIONS ARE VERY UNRELIABLE AND THE COMPANY DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. *TR

THE 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 100,600 MILES, WE WERE DRIVING APPROX 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, AND THE RPM'S INCREASED GREATLY BUT THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. SOON, WHITE SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE FRONT AS WE COASTED TO THE NEAREST EXIT APPROX 1 MILE AWAY. IT TURNS OUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. ALL REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMED. TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH JUST 100K MILES. WE WERE FORTUNATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED LUGGING BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MILES AN HOUR AND THE LUGGING IS OFTEN PRECEDED BY A WHINING SOUND. SPOKE WITH HONDA MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH TORQUE CONVERTER AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

MY ODYSSEY LOST POWER/WOULDN'T ACCELERATE/WOULDN'T SHIFT AS WE APPROACHED THE TOP OF A 7% GRADE. WE PULLED OVER, SHUT THE CAR OFF AND CHECKED FLUIDS ETC.. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WE TRIED TO GET GOING AGAIN AND THE VAN WOULDN'T GO. WE SAT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND TRIED AGAIN, AND THE VAN GOT GOING AGAIN PERFECTLY FINE. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO HONDA WHEN IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. HONDA DIAGNOSED IT WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION/TORQUE CONVERTER. THE ATF FLUID WAS BURNT (MY ODYSSEY HAS THE ATF FLUID COOLER TOO). THE TECH SAID THE VCM (ECO MODE, VARIABLE CYLINDER MANAGEMENT) INCREASES THE LOAD/STRESS ON THE VEHICLE AND IS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR OF THE BREAK DOWN. MY ODYSSEY HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AT HONDA Y HONDA SPECS/RECOMMENDATIONS. I HAD NO PREVIOUS INDICATION MY TRANS WAS GOING OUT (NO GEAR SLIPPING ANYTHING. IT DROVE FINE UP UNTIL IT BROKE DOWN) I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR, AND THEY FAILED TO EVEN OFFER ANY SORT OF HELP. FROM WHAT I'VE GOOGLED, HONDA ODYSSEYS HAVE COMMON TRANS/TORQUE CONVERTER ISSUES AND AMERICAN HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS ON THE ODYSSEYS. AFTER THIS, I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE BECAUSE OF AN INHERENT DESIGN PROBLEM IN THE TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP STOPS WORKING CORRECTLY INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, THE PRESSURE IS TOO LOW AND THE TRANSMISSION GRINDS ITSELF UP. THE CAR WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND STOP MOVING. THERE IS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE ABOUT IT IN PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $4000 OR MORE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AFTER 7 YEARS EVEN IF THE CAR HAS 150,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

BASED ON A REPORT TODAY THAT HONDA IS RECALLING 2003/2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WHERE THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE IGNITION INTERLOCK, A DEVICE INTENDED TO ENSURE THAT THE KEY CAN ONLY BE REMOVED WHEN A VEHICLE IS FIRMLY SHIFTED INTO PARK. I HAVE A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AND HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE IN 2010 WHERE AFTER PARKING AND REMOVING MY KEYS AND I GOT DOWN, THE VAN MOVED BACKWARDS AND THE MY FRONT DOOR HIT ANOTHER CAR IN THE PARKING LOT DAMAGING BOTH CARS, AND I HAD TO FILE A CLAIM WITH UNITRIN DIRECT. THE RESULT BEING I HAVE A FAULT ACCIDENT RECORD ON MY LICENSE AND MY INSURANCE WENT UP FOR NO FAULT OF MINE. I THINK HONDA SHOULD RECALL EVEN THE 2006 MODEL AND PAY ME BACK FROM MY REPAIRS AND EXTRA INSURANCE PAYMENTS THAT I HAVE PAID AND WORK WITH DMV/UNITRIN TO REMOVE THE FAULT ACCIDENT RECORD THAT I HAVE ON MY LICENSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO ROLL BACK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER HER LEFT FOOT AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87.039.

TRANSMISSION HUNTS BETWEEN 4TH AND 5TH GEAR DURING ACCELERATION CAUSING SURGES IN THE RPM AND THE CAR. *TR

HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT VIBRATION COMING FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT. PRIMARILY OCCURS AT ANY SPEED WHEN THE VCM OR ECO MODE ACTIVATES. NOT SURE WHAT OTHER ISSUES THIS MAY CAUSE BUT SEEMS UNSAFE. HONDA DEALER DIAGNOSED ISSUE AS A BROKEN REAR ENGINE MOUNT. COST TO REPAIR IS $866. *TR

TRAVELLING ON VACTION ON FREEWAY AT 100KM ( 60 MPH ) WHEN MY TRANSMISSION WENT ON MY HONDA ODYSSEY. SMOKE FROM UNDER HOOD, ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP AND TACOMETER REVED UP BASCIALLY ENOUGH FUNCTION TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF FREEWAY. WE HAD TOWED TO HONDA WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE THAT I HAVENT EVEN OWNED FOR 5YRS AT THE TIME AND ONLY 120000KM (75000MILES) THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE AND WOULD COST ME $5000 TO REPAIR. WE HAD OUR VAN TOWED BACK TO OUR LOCAL DEALER (2HRS AWAY AND ACROSS US BOARDER BACK TO CANADA) WHERE THEY CHARGED US $3700 DO TO US KEEPING UP WITH ALL SERVICES. AFTER ALL COST TO HAVE RETURNED HOME AND OUR FAMILY OF SIX RETURNED HOME I PAID $4500 OUT OF MY POCKET ON A VEHICLE IM STILL MAKING $600 A MONTH PAYMENTS ON. UNACCCEPTABLE. *TR

TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SHUDDER AT 50 MPH. IT LOOKS LIKE IT SHUTTERS UNTIL YOU HIT THE GAS OR LET OFF. IF YOU ARE COASTING ON FLAT GROUND, STEADY AT THE SAME SPEED, IT WILL DO IT UNTIL YOU LET OFF THE GAS OR HIT THE GAS HARDER. *TR

THE VAN SEEMS TO STUTTER AT LOW SPEEDS USUALLY 30-35MPH. LATELY THE IT HAS ISSUE HAS WORSE AND IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

SOON AFTER PURCHASING OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX I NOTICED A SHUDDER WHEN I WAS GOING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC. IT HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING UP. USUALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS I'M ONLY GOING BETWEEN 30-45. IT SEEMS FINE WHEN I QUICKLY ACCELERATE. NOW IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I KNOW IT'S A TRANSMISSION ISSUE, BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM AND OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T FIND THE SHUDDER. IT WAS PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ONLY DROVE IT FOR 2 MILES. I'M VERY FRUSTRATED WITH HONDA AND WON'T EVER PURCHASE ONE AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE EXCESSIVELY AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND ADVISED HER TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 91,155.

VIBRATION AND NOISE FROM ENGINE OR TANSMISSION WHENEVER CAR GOES INTO ECO MODE. DOES IT AT ALL SPEEDS. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR NEEDS NEW ENGINE MOUNTS. SEEMS LIKE EX-L AND TOURINGS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE!!!! FAULTY MOUNTS, BAD DESIGN! DEALER QOTED $2000 TO FIX. DONT HAVE MONEY TO COVER THE COST AS I JUST HAD A BABY. *TT

FRONT AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNT FAILURE. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 65 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE RAPIDLY DECELERATED TO 20 MPH. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BEYOND 65 MPH. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

EVER SINCE ABOUT 90,000 THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND MAKES A RUMBLING SOUND BETWEEN 30-45 MPH. A TRANSMISSION OIL "EXCHANGE" SEEMED TO LESSEN THE ISSUE. BUT IT HAS RETURNED. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 84,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS BETWEEN GEARS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHEN ACCELERATING. REVERSE ALSO DOES NOT ENGAGE AND APPEARS TO EXHIBIT SLIPPAGE. *KB

DURING ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION, THE STEERING AND TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS BETWEEN 30 AND 45 MPH. WHEN THIS CONDITION HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND CAN EASILY BECOME UNSAFE. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE CAN SHUDDER AND EASILY SHIFT TO ONE SIDE. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST YEAR. IT IS NOW HAPPENING REPEATEDLY AND WITH INCREASING SEVERITY. I HAVE REPLACED TIRES AND CHECKED ALIGNMENT. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED BRAKES AND TURNED ROTORS. THE DEALER INDICATED TODAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION. *KB

THE CAR SHAKES REALLY BAD AT ABOUT 30-35 MILES PER HOUR AND ALSO HESITATES AT TIMES. YOU CAN FEEL THE VAN SHIFT VERY HARD ALSO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY BACK FROM CLEVELAND OHIO. NOTICED A SHAKING FEELING ON A TRANSMISSION SHIFTING GEAR. I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A TON OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT :( *TR

TORQUE CONVERTER PULSATION AND VIBRATION. *TR

THE HONDA ODYSSEY VAN WE HAVE STARTED TO SHIFT HARD AND WHEN IT WOULD CHANGE INTO GEARS I WOULD FEEL A BIG THUMP IT IS A AUTOMATIC WITH OVER DRIVE. *TR

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, MY CAR WON'T GO INTO REVERSE. *TT

SUDDEN ACCELERATION. MOTOR BEGAN RACING AT A STOP SIGN, AT FIRST THOUGHT THAT MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES HAD FAILED AS IT LURCHED FORWARD. WAS ABLE TO PUT NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF ENGINE. *TR

TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO FAIL AFTER 100,000 MILES. *TR

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EXL TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. EITHER A FAILING TORQUE CONVERTER OR TRANSMISSION. I AM WRITING IN CONCERN TO MY ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING BETWEEN 20-40 MPH. AS IT SHUDDERS THERE IS ALSO A DROP IN RPM'S. I HAVE SPOKE WITH (2) OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR ODYSSEY AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE LOCATED 1000'S OF BLOGS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS TO ME IS RAISES A CONCERN. THIS IS NOT NORMALLY WEAR AND TEAR FOR A TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA ISN'T ADDRESSING. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS IN THE PAST, ISSUED BY NHTSA, IN REGARDS TO HONDA TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THESE PROBLEMS DON'T EVER SEEMED TO BE FIXED. BASED UPON THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT, THE (2), OTHER THAN MINE, THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY HEARD ABOUT MAKES ME FEEL AS THERE SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF INTERACTION WITH YOUR AGENCY. HONDA CONTINUES TO BLOW OFF THE ISSUE AND SAY IT ISN'T A PROBLEM. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST WAY LONGER THAN 60-80K MILES. I HAVE NEVER TOWED OR ABUSED MY TRANSMISSION IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM AND IT IS FAILING ME. I BELIEVE IT IS SOLELY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE IN WHICH HONDA KNOWS ABOUT BUT IS FAILING TO RESOLVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE MINUTES LATER AND NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED A SECOND TIME AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED INTERMITTENTLY ONCE THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME HOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,000. UPDATED 04/06/11*LJ

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AT A NORMAL SPEED IN HOUSTON, WHEN IT SUDDENLY WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR, AND THE TACH REVVED UP TO THE RED LINE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. I HAVE 143,00 MILES ON IT. THE PRICE THAT THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED WAS 4300.00 DOLLARS. I REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FROM AMERICAN HONDA, AND WAS DENIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF MILES ON THE VAN. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL HONDA SPECIALIST AND GOT THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND WARRANTY FOR 1100.00 LESS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A SHUTTERING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN VIBRATING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 97,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN HAS BEEN TAKEN FOR REPAIRS NUMEROUS TIMES TO ADDRESS FRONT END SHUDDER THAT INCREASES WITH SPEED, BECOMING NOTICEABLE AT ~25MPH AND MOST PRONOUNCED AT 60-65MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES LEFT-RIGHT AT A HIGH FREQUENCY AND INCREASING INTENSITY WHILE THIS SHUDDER IS HAPPENING. BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS IS MEASURABLE HAMPERED AND ONE CAN FEEL THE SHUDDER THROUGH THE BRAKE PEDAL AS THIS OCCURS. WE HAVE HAD THE TIRES REPLACED MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY THAN THEIR SCHEDULED LIFE WOULD SUGGEST NECESSARY, WE HAVE HAD THE ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING CHECKED, AND WE HAVE ASKED HONDA TO REPAIR THE VIBRATION PROBLEM, ALL WITHOUT SUCCESS. THERE ARE ONLINE FORUMS WHERE ODYSSEY OWNERS DISCUSS SIMILAR PROBLEMS (FOR EXAMPLE, SEE THE EDMUNDS SITE: TOWNHALL.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F1085E1) AND LACK OF RESOLUTION BY HONDA. A QUICK WEB SEARCH (E.G., "HONDA ODYSSEY FRONT END VIBRATION" OR "HONDA ODYSSEY TORQUE CONVERTER RECALL") WILL RESULT IN MANY OTHER REFERENCES TO SIMILAR OR IDENTICAL SITUATIONS OF SERIOUS FRONT END VIBRATIONS. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A MINOR ACCIDENT WHICH INVOLVED HITTING A CAR IN FRONT OF US AT LOW SPEED AND I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM PLAYED A ROLE. *TR

TOOK 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN COMPLAINING OF STRONG ENGINE SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING AND BETWEEN GEAR SHIFTS. SHUDDER IS SO STRONG WHOLE CAR SHIMMIES INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THIS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS (AT 60,000 AND 90,000) AND IT HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY DIAGNOSED. JUST 5 MONTHS AND A FEW THOUSAND MILES LATER I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. VERY INTERESTING THAT IT'S THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE BEEN IN FOR BEFORE WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. WHILE TRAVELING AT 60+ MPH TRANSMISSION SMOKES, FLUID SPEWS FROM TAILPIPE AND FRONT, GEARS RACE AND VEHICLE BECOMES UNABLE TO CONTROL IN TRAFFIC. VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPS, MUST BE ALLOWED TO COOL DOWN BEFORE IT CAN BE RESTARTED. GEARS SOMETIME LOCK CAUSING INABILITY TO STEER. OCCURS OCCASIONALLY AT 80,000-90,000, MORE FREQUENTLY AT 90,000 MILES. DEFECT IN TORQUE CONVERTER APPARENTLY CAUSES FLUID TO BOIL INSIDE TRANSMISSION, CAUSES DAMAGE TO GEARS, SMOKING, ETC.. ONLY FIX IS A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. *TR

2006 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN. WHILE CRUISING (NOT ACCELERATING, NOT CLIMBING) AT ABOUT 70 MPH ON I-5 SOUTH IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, THE DRIVER SAW THE TACHOMETER SUDDENLY SHOOT UP ABOVE THE RED LINE (>5000 RPM). THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV WITH ACCOMPANYING VERY LOUD ENGINE NOISE. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT EVEN AS THE DRIVER EASED OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THE DRIVER PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND BACK OF THE CAR WAS SOAKED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CAR WAS SURROUNDED BY THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL. THE CAR WAS TOWED 129 MILES TO A SERVICE STATION. DIAGNOSIS: "BLOWN TRANSMISSION", APPARENTLY A RECURRENT PROBLEM WITH HONDA ODYSSEYS. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY BRAND NEW WITH WARRANTY AND AT 20,000 MILES STARTED COMPLAINING OF A WHINING OR HUMMING NOISE AFTER TRAVELING DISTANCES OVER 30 MINUTES LONG. THE WEATHER DID NOT SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I COMPLAINED 5 SEPARATE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, EACH TIME BEING TURNED AWAY BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND AN ISSUE. AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, THEY WERE ABLE TO TELL ME THAT MY POWER STEERING PUMP HAD FAILED AND AFTER MUCH TALK WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA, THEY REPLACED IT COVERING 75% OF THE COST. THAT WAS IN OCTOBER 2009. ON MARCH 15, THE NOISE RETURNED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ASSUMING IT WAS MY POWER STEERING PUMP. IT WAS MY POWER STEERING RACK WHICH AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS SEEMS TO BE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS ALL ALONG. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK AT A COST OF $1500. I HAVE TRIED TO GET HELP FROM HONDA, BUT THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE ONLINE AND HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR ALL MODELS 2005-2007 AND SOME 2008 MODELS FOR POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE. THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE AND A RECALL OF THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT OR MORE HONDA OWNERS ARE GOING TO RUN INTO THE ISSUE I HAVE. IF I DON'T REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK, FLUID COULD POUR OUT AT ANY TIME AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE STEERING AT ANY POINT. SO THAT IS WHY I AM HAVING IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS. THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH WAS REVISED IN 2007, IS BULLETIN NUMBER 07-005.*TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY EX ON SLIGHT SLOPES AT APPROXIMATELY 25-35 MPH UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION, MY VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHUDDER STRONGLY ENOUGH THAT I CAN FEEL IT THROUGH THE FOOT PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY IN MY IN-TOWN DRIVING FOLLOWING FREQUENT STOPS, AND CONTINUES FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL I INCREASE SPEED AND RPM. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED A STRONG FORWARD JOLTING MOTION WHEN MY VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS AS I AM SLOWING BEHIND OTHER CARS OR AS I AM SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN OF MY OWN. THE JOLT FORWARD HAS BEEN SO STRONG THAT IT FEELS LIKE I'M HITTING THE ACCELERATOR, AND I HAVE HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO KEEP FROM OVERSHOOTING MY TURN OR REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. *TR

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER ON MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. MILES IS ABOUT 86000, TOOK VAN TO HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD TORQUE CONVERTER WAS BAD SERVICE MANAGER SAID THESE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR SHUDDER PROBLEMS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLES WEIGHT WAS NOT MATCHED TO THE TRANSMISSION PROPERLY IN DESIGN. SHUDDER HAPPENS AT ABOUT 30-40 MPH WITH A LIGHT ENGINE LOAD. *TR

WHEN DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER FOR A LONG DISTANCE, WHEEZING SOUND COMES FROM STEERING WHEEL. OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAY IT'S A POWER STEERING PUMP, RESERVOIR TANK. IT ONLY HAS 57K MILES, AND ALREADY PROBLEMS. HONDA DEALER SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THAT'S BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE NOR WAS IT COLD. IT WON'T BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT'S PAST THE MILES, BUT HONDA MAKES A DEFECTIVE PART(S) AND THE OWNER HAS TO PAY FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER. WHEN THE POWER SHUTS OFF AND THE VEHICLE STALLS, THE CONTACT HEARS A LOUD CLANKING NOISE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE VEHICLE RESTARTS AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS ARE MADE AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER IN 2008; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE FAILURE AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, THEY REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE DRIVE TRAIN. A YEAR LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT HAD HER VEHICLE REPAIRED ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) IN 2007. TWO YEARS LATER, SHE EXPERIENCED AN ABNORMAL SURGE AND SLIPPAGE WHILE IN SECOND GEAR. SHE TOOK HER VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE HER TRANSMISSION AT THE COST OF $2,100, WHICH WAS A FIFTY PERCENT DISCOUNT. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED HER TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 79,475.

I WAS CLOSING THE RIGHT SLIDING DOOR ON MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WHEN IT SUDDENLY REVERSED PINCHING AND CRUSHING MY RIGHT ARM. I USED THE EXTERIOR HANDLE, PULLED IT ONCE, AND MOVED TO THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE. AS I WAS PASSING BY THE MOVING DOOR, I WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE MINIVAN SLIGHTLY. IT GAVE AN AUDIBLE ALERT AND IMMEDIATELY REVERED PINCHING MY RIGHT BICEP BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE SIDE OF THE VAN. *TR

I WAS MAKING A THREE POINT TURN IN A PARKING LOT AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THE CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. IT ACTED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP NEXT WEEK. FORUMS STATE THE THIS HAS OCCURRED QUITE OFTEN IN LEXUS. *TR

AFTER THE SERVICE WAS DONE AT HONDA(A B TYPE SERVICE); I AM FEELING A JERK AFTER PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ON SPEED. WITH KIDS IN THE CAR THIS IS A SCARY EXPERIENCE, HONDA DEALER DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THEY DID ANYTHING WITH THIS. THOUGH IT APPEARED JUST AFTER THAT. I TOOK MY HONDA FOR SERVICE AT HONDA TWIN CITY AT SAVOY,IL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE REGAINED POWER WHILE SLOWLY PULLING TO THE CURB. WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AGAIN AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THE DEALER REPLACED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WHEN THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER OCCURRED AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. AFTER REPLACING THE COMPUTER AND SOLENOID THE DEALER DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP.

NEW, 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY, PURCHASED NEW DRIVEN FOR 7 WEEKS. LEAKING NOTICED ON GARAGE FLOOR. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE TRANSMISSION CASING THAT OCCURRED DURING MANUFACTURING PROCESS, THAT THE MOLD IT WAS MADE FROM MUST HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE. UNFORTUNATELY, HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WITH A NEW ONE, BUT WILL USE A MISH-MASH OF PARTS FROM 2005 & 2006 AND CLAIM IT AS REFURBISHED. THEY WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PARTS DID NOT COME FROM VEHICLES DAMAGED IN HURRICANES. OUR NEW VEHICLE WILL NOW BE A SUBSTANDARD VEHICLE. I THINK OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE TRANSMISSION MADE FROM THIS LOT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAME FACTORY DEFECT, AND THAT UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS NOT HAVE TO BE FORCED TO UNDERWRITE HONDA'S FAILED FACTORY INSPECTION PROCESS. *NM
