“Our 1999 Honda Odyssey has had the p0740 torque clutch converter solenoid circuit (open) code displayed numerous times, we thought since it was a serious issue and the transmission had already been replaced within 20,000 miles that we should actually take it to the dealer in marysville, wa and have them do a transmission flush then a supervisor and said no you should have us run a diagnostic by one of our master techs. …”

Shortly after we bought the vehicle we found out that our van was originally manufactured for sale in canada, and it was imported back in 1999 when the van was new. This information was never disclosed to us throughout the sale, and we only found out when we tried to have a second key made and the Honda dealer said that the VIN number didn't exist in their system. Honda refuses to do any recalls that have been issued for this vehicle in the USA or canada. …”

NHTSA complaint #10348621, filed 2010-08, 130,000 miles“Beginning in 2000, when the car was less than one year old, we have experienced major equipment failures. First, the EGR valve malfunctioned; it was eventually repaired at Honda's expense. Next, one of the motors for the side power doors failed. That cost approximately $800 to repair. Then, the transmission failed, and Honda eventually covered the full costs under an extended warranty. For at least four years, we were plagued with an erratic check engine light, and sometimes the computer code was inadequate to direct a repair. …”
