“2001 Honda Odyssey transmission failure at about 100,000 miles of routine driving on a vehicle that was held to a better than average maintenance schedule. Honda issued a recall, but did not inform me of its existence, despite the fact that I regularly visited a certified Honda dealer for service, and now the vehicle is out of the recalls time/mileage parameters.”
NHTSA complaint #10386508, filed 2011-03, 110,000 miles“3 out of 4 engine mounts were broken when I took van to dealer after bad vibration. I was told this was seen often . Van has 180k miles. No racing or off road driving ect. The cost was $940.00. Honda should address this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10410078, filed 2011-06, 180,000 miles“I purchased our 2001 Odyssey van in november of 2000. I used the van only in the city with low mileage about 83,300 miles. Recently, I had my check engine light go on, and sometimes the tcs light to go on and d4 light flashing. I felt the van was slipping in/out of gear and not under control. I had my local mechanic checked the van and told me that is the problem with the transmissions and probably need a whole new transmission. After researching Honda complaints for 2001 odysseys there is definitely a design problem with transmissions.”
NHTSA complaint #10451233, filed 2012-03, 83,300 miles“The 2001 Honda Odyssey started having problems of stalling while driving on 01/15/10. When the problem occurred again on 01/20/10, we brought it to a Honda dealer for examination. The dealer had it for nine days until 01/29/10 but was unable to make a diagnosis. On 01/29/10, we took the vehicle back. On 02/03/10 and 02/04/10, the stalling recurred so we brought it back to the same dealer. Now, having been unsuccessful to make a diagnosis, the dealer notified us that they would not make any more attempts to repair the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10306141, filed 2010-02, 88,000 miles“In april 2009, my check engine light(cel) came on while driving and the car stalled when I stopped. It restarted and would repeat this with each stop. I took it to my usual garage (the light went off on the way there!) and they said the only code that come up was p0172 for rich fuel, they put fuel injector cleaner in the gas and it drove fine--which it does with the engine light off. In may, the car 's cel was still sporadically coming on and stalling,and I called the 800# for Honda customer service and spoke with a riano. …”
