Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I purchased this van from a dealership. I was told it was in great condition, no problems, no recalls. The transmission completely failed in less than thirty days. I was driving on a highway when transmission failed, I was lucky enough to get pulled off to the side of the road. Honda needs to pay to replace all of these transmissions before someone is seriously injured or worse, killed. I'm now trying to look into different estimates to have the transmission completely rebuilt.”

Diagnosed by 3. Auto experts as transmission issue that is associated with 1999- 2001 Odyssey models. Only 82540 miles. I am 2 nd owner. I am retired and need redressal of this issue as I can't afford serious repair costs.”
NHTSA complaint #10575820, filed 2014-03, 82,540 miles“Driving in I-78 west and speed suddenly decreased while RPM increased. Steered over to shoulder and stopped. Shifted car into park. Then I shifted into drive and van would not move. Rpm increased again. Van towed off highway and then eventually home. Transmission shot per mechanic. Transmission previously replaced under warranty at 56,125 miles. Currently at 143,000 miles. Honda will not provide any additional assistance. Totally unhappy with Honda and will not purchase another one.”
NHTSA complaint #10537530, filed 2013-08, 143,000 miles“While driving on the belt parkway in brooklyn, new york, suddenly the car started to be less responsive and became very slow. A minute later, I got check engine light on. I got off the nearest exit after being very nervous and scared by the slow speed of the car. I stopped by the nearest service station. I did computer diagnosis and turned to be transmission problem (codes: p0730, p0740). Now my car is at the shop for the second day getting the transmission rebuilt.”
NHTSA complaint #10459966, filed 2012-05, 90,000 miles“Transmission blew without warning on remote stretch of arizona highway where there isn't even cell phone coverage. This is the second transmission this car has had. It is a minivan and does not tow or even have a tow hitch. A transmission should last longer than this, either one of them, and not leave me and my family stranded this way. We do all the regular transmission maintenance. Even Honda admits it's just a problem for this part, but they don't care to do anything about it.”
