What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The transmission How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When I was on the highway the car lost power and I was almost rear-ended by a car when I was stopped on the freeway on my way to the doctor. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, I am a recent buyer and do not have much information about previous problems with this vehicle. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, when it broke down, I just called the tow truck and they transported it to a mechanic and the mechanic put the machine in to find out what the fault was, and he told me and showed me that the fault was in the transmission and the cost would be $1800 to $2000 dollars or so to fix it. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, before the breakdown the car turned on a light that I didn't recognize but I kept going because I was on the freeway and a few meters ahead the accelerator didn't respond, so I had to pull off the road to call the tow truck. Personal, I don't have any documents to prove this because logically I don't have $2000 dollars to fix the transmission. When I was with the mechanic and he checked the car he just showed me and said what it meant. the light that came on the dashboard. Also, yesterday I received this paper and it said that if the car shows up with more faults to come in with the code that comes on the document. I found it strange to receive it because according to me when I bought the car, everything was in good condition and now the transmission is not working, apart from the air bag. For these reasons I would like to know how I can take the car to them, if it does not walk and to get it to them, I have to take the tow truck.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated along with a warning message which stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side air bags need to be repaired. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V501000 (Air Bags) as the cause for the failure. The Vin was not included in the recall. The contact also stated that the manual transmission would jump out of gear and would not accelerate out of second gear until she manually shifted the vehicle to park and then back to drive. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with a fuel pump and fluids needing to be replaced. The contact stated that the failure recurred. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 165,555.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MY WIFE HAS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH A RECALL NOTICE FOR A PCM. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER IS P48, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 04V-176. THE VEHICLE VIN IS [XXX]. THE ISSUE IS REGARDING A PCM RECALL FOR 2002 ODYSSEY WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION, WHICH MY WIFE?S CAR DOES NOT HAVE. HER CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS TAKEN IS WEST BROAD HONDA IN RICHMOND VIRGINIA. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL, IT IS A SERVICE BULLETIN, SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE CASE MANAGER AT HONDA AGREED AS WELL THAT IT IS A SERVICE BULLETIN AND DOES NOT PERTAIN TO MY CAR. I TALKED TO THE CASE MANAGER LAST ON MONDAY APRIL 29, AND DESPITE LEAVING MESSAGES SINCE THEN FOR HER TO CALL ME WITH A STATUS UPDATE, I HAVE HEARD NOTHING TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY SUBMITTED A ?FIXED BY INSPECTION? REPORT TO HONDA ON MONDAY, BUT THERE IS STILL A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS THE PROBLEM: I AM IN THE MILITARY, AND I HAVE TO DROP THIS CAR OFF NEXT WEEK FOR SHIPMENT TO MY NEXT DUTY STATION IN ALASKA. HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT A VEHICLE WITH AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS REQUIRED THAT I PROVIDE PROOF THAT THERE IS NO OPEN RECALL, AND I CANNOT DO THAT BECAUSE OF THIS. I TRULY HAVE NO OTHER RECOURSE, AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ON MY END TO FIX THIS. FURTHERMORE, IT REALLY SHOULD NOT BE MY RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTINUALLY CALL ABOUT GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED.

TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT P0740 AND P0430 - NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND DIAGNOSED ERROR CODES P0740. TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE, SLIPS WITH NO DRIVE POWER. PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORST. REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION AS PER DEALER AT COST OF $5,900. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED SEVERAL 100,000S OF 2002 TO 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY VANS AND OTHER HONDA MODELS WITH SAME TRANSMISSION. HONDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS AND STILL HAS DONE NOTHING TO REPAIR THEM. HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN AND DISCUSSED AT LENGTH ON ONLINE HONDA FORUMS AND AT DEALERSHIPS, TO A POINT WHERE NOBODY IS WILLING TO BUY THESE USED VEHICLES AT BLUEBOOK MARKET VALUE. THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IS $5900, IN EXCESS OF CURRENT VEHICLE MARKET VALUE. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, HONDA HAS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR ODYSSEY TRANSMISSIONS UP TO MODEL YEAR 2001. THIS HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE YEAR 2003, WHEN THE 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS RELATIVELY NEW, HENCE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IN 2001 AND 2002 MODEL YEAR ARE SAME. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE HONDA KNEW OF THIS TRANSMISSION DESIGN PROBLEM WHICH CONTINUES PAST MODEL YEAR 2001. THEY USED THE SAME TRANSMISSION TILL MODEL YEAR 2004. I WOULD LIKE HONDA TO RECALL ODYSSEY TRANSMISSIONS FROM 2002 TO 2004 AS WELL AND REPAIR THEM UNDER WARRANTY. SEVERAL OTHER HONDA VEHICLES MODELS ARE ALSO IMPACTED BY THIS POOR TRANSMISSION DESIGN. THEN WHY HAS HONDA NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP ITS CUSTOMERS. I WOULD LIKE NHTSA INVESTIGATE FURTHER LEVERAGING ON THE 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY RECALL TO EXPEDITE A RESOLUTION FORCING HONDA TO RECALL FOR REPAIRS. THANK YOU.

I TOOK MY VAN TO HONDA AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR 99% OF THE TIME. MY VAN ONLY HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM CONCERNED AS TO WHY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND WAS TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION FROM HONDA WOULD BE $4500. THERE IS NO REASON A TRANSMISSION SHOULD GO OUT AT 111,000 MILES WHEN IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED THROUGH HONDA OVER THE YEARS. MY CAR WILL NOT GO ABOVE 20 MILES AN HOUR ON MOST OCCASIONS. IF I REV THE ENGINE HIGH AND GET IT OVER 30, THEN IT WILL CHANGE TO 2ND GEAR. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATES AND I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT A FEW TIMES. I CANNOT ACCELERATE TO A SAFE, MERGING SPEED. MY DRIVE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES AND MY TCS WILL COME ON FROM HAVING TO REV THE ENGINE. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS WITH THEM IN IT. CAN THIS BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU.

AT DEALERSHIP SAID ECL CODE WAS P0730 & THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE APPROX FAILURE MILEAGE ON VAN WAS 62,000 MILES. I HAD TO PAY $3500 FOR HAVING THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT 3RD GEAR HAD HEAT DISCOLORATION & IS BURNED UP ALONG WITH THE CLUTCHES. I HAVE THE PHOTOS & ALSO THE DAMAGED PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. SINCE I HAD LOW MILEAGE I CONTACTED HONDA BUT THEY REFUSED ANY HELP SAYING WARRANTY PERIOD ON VAN HAD EXPIRED. I ALSO CONTACTED HONDA'S RECALL DEPT, SINCE I FELT THAT THE BURNT 3RD GEAR WAS RELATED TO TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING PROBLEM PER 2004 HONDA RECALL FOR 2001 TO 2004 VANS. HONDA SAID THAT RECALL WAS FOR 2ND GEAR & MY DISCOLORATION WAS ON 3RD GEAR. THIS IS LIKE SPLITTING HAIR; SINCE INTERNAL DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION WAS DUE TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING. I FEEL WITH SINGLE OWNER & LOW MILEAGE OF VAN & WITH THE HEAT DISCOLORATION OF TRANSMISSION PARTS, HONDA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION DUE TO HEAT BUILDUP. THEREFORE, HONDA SHOULD PAY ME FOR MY COST TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. THE 2004 RECALL LETTER CLEARLY STATES "IF HEAT DISCOLORATION EXISTS, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE TRANSMISSION". THAT LETTER FURTHER STATES "THIS WORK WILL BE DONE FREE OF CHARGE." I FEEL HONDA IS REFUSING TO HONOR THE INTENT OF THE 2004 RECALL LETTER.
