“We are the original owners of 2000 Honda Odyssey (80k miles) and few days back the check engine light came on and the dealer is saying that the transmission needs to be rebuilt and neither Honda nor the dealer would pay any of it. Searching in the web, now I see that there were many such cases- so this seem like a known issue and so I'd like Honda to take responsibility and fix the issue for free or give some financial assist at the least. Is there something I can do to get help? Thanks.”
NHTSA complaint #10364293, filed 2010-11, 80,300 miles“In may 2005 the transmission on this 2000 Odyssey failed and was replaced by our local dealer at no charge under the directions of service bulletin 02-062. The mileage at the time was almost 72,000 miles. We had heard that there had been transmission problems and we thought that the 2005 replacement would have solved the problem. Now, after another 68,000 miles, the replacement transmission has failed. This replacement Odyssey transmission failed after sunset at about 7:00 pm on an unlit two lane country road with little room or opportunity to park safely. …”
