![]() My 2001 Honda Odyssey auto transmission started showing signs of slippage at 69,000 miles. Is slipping due to broken gear teeth? Are their transmissions so badly built that they fail in such a short time?Īny advice on further course of action other than replacing the tranny? What can I do other than replace the tranny? I read other forums and there was mention of class action for rebuilt but could not find any info. Asked about the pressure switches and they said that it is not the problem. They say that the transmission is slipping and will have to be replaced ($5500) and that replacing the fluid/flushing the transmission would not do anything. It is now little over 43 months and around 47000 miles on this transmission. Took it to the Honda dealer who had installed the replacement transmission in June 2009 (36 month/36000 mile warranty). I want to forestall any major problems with the tranny since I hope to use it for another couple of years. Now it is 145000 miles and this winter since January (I live in NJ) I notice that when it is cold and the engine is cold and I start driving without warming up around 20-25 mph the engine revs (possibly because the gear shift from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd doesn't happen smoothly). I bought a 2001 Honda Odyssey in Aug 2001 and in June 2009 the transmission had to be replaced at 98000 miles (within extended warranty on miles and 2 months outside the extended warranty on months. ![]() ![]() It will be a cold day in hell before I look at another Honda. Is there anything else I can help you with? And the last lady said " I am so sorry to hear about your misfortune with your Honda Odyssey but our class action period has expired so offer any assistance any more". So then I called Honda America got the opportunity to talk to three different ladies and give my vin #, address, e mail, and tell my story three different times. Awesome I never knew that I had the ability to destroy transmissions before. Wow, so the Honda Odyssey does not have a history of transmission problems. If I would have changed the fluid at 4500 mi. So I need a new transmission at $4861.Īt home I see that they wrote TRANS FLUID DO TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE called him back he confirmed that sure it was me that made the transmission fail. They said that clutch system malfunction turned my transmission fluid black. Drove it to the dealer to see what they say. Did fine on the freeway perfect just only when I stopped and had to step on the gas was the problem. I was out of town north of Houston but was able to drive the 400 miles back to Corpus. The check engine light came on, so did the TSC light. Well many years later, 48000 miles, I step on the gas pedal it starts to go then slips. They replied that if one of those would break it will take out my engine, so the 500 dollars now is a good deal!.Ĭalled Autozone those belts are $ 20 ea. So I said no that's alright just leave it alone, because they looked good. I told them to let me see those belts before you do it, well they looked fine. But once they said that it was time to change my the drive and timing belts because I had over 60,000 miles. But every time they did it I got a free 21 multi point inspection like it or not.ĭuring those inspections they would find dirty brake fluid and have flush the system for healthy price. Then I did switched to synthetic oil and did it myself logged it in the owner manual. Had it serviced at the dealer for 12 years with Honda oil and filter every 3,000mi. Did not get any break what so ever because we have only one Honda dealer here in Corpus Christi, TX.
