Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“All the motor mounts and transmission mounts need to be replaced. I've never heard of this being an issue in any other vehicle, but after doing a quick google search I discovered it is common in odysseys. We should be able to drive our vehicles without being concerned for the stability of our engine and tranny. This just shouldn't happen.”

NHTSA complaint #10504273, filed 2013-03, 180,000 miles

“- my Honda Odyssey 2000 got the 1st transmission breakdown at 106k miles in 7/2009. Honda agreed to pay half of the repair cost and I paid half (~$2000) to replace a new remanufactured transmission fr Honda. - the 2nd transmission last me another 34k miles (4 years) and it suddenly broke down yesterday. - I lose trust in Honda. Not sure if Honda still continue honor their warranty on the transmission with they claimed they have fix the issue on the remanufactured transmission.”

NHTSA complaint #10532989, filed 2013-08, 140,000 miles

“Transmission not shifting right, lock out, car not moving. Van cannot go in reverse. Before it happened notice that when turning left, indoor lighting flickers especially obvious at night time driving. At stop it hesitate and when stepping at accelerator, the van jerks and jumps to high speed causing me to brake right away, felt a whiplash every time. Check recall ended after seven years but owner did nor receive any letter from Honda office about the recall. Try to contact Honda but told me recall ended.”

NHTSA complaint #10578801, filed 2014-04, 97,767 miles

“I have bought my used Odyssey in january 2012 from a dealer and the transmission failed at 107,000 miles. I know there was a recall in 2004 that had the warranty up to 100,000 miles and an approved class lawsuit in 2006 that extended the warranty up to 109,000 miles. Therefore, my van is still under the warranty since its at 107,000. I strongly request that this issue is resolved as soon as possible and that Honda fixes and pays for the repair; or at least give me a call and discuss the matter. …”

NHTSA complaint #10468059, filed 2012-07, 107,000 miles

“My Honda Odyssey (year 2000) stopped at a traffic light, then when green light was on, it roared big time at very high RPM, and moved very little. Lots of cars behind me. After about a minute, my car suddenly moved, and moved as normal as usual. Since then, especially when it is cold, my cars moves very teeny-tiny bit after a stop, and then suddenly pull forward. The situation is even worse if my car stops at bottom of a hill, then climbing up the hill after that is a big challenge. I was told it is probably transmission problem, there was a recall. …”
