1 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2013

This transmission failed and I put another one in and it failed within two days. I have looked online and found out that everyone is having trouble with these transmissions. I think Honda should replace these problem transmissions with a recall. I don't have $1,500 to put in a new transmission every day or two.

2 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2002

Consumer stated that while driving at any speed and without warning transmission failed causing the vehicle not to accelerate. Dealer notified. Ts.

3 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2002

Diagnostic code p0740 - we are being told entire transmission needs to be replaced (even though it still seems to be working for now). I wanted to report it after seeing lots of complaints on internet forums from Odyssey owners who have had low mileage transmission failures.

4 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 12/01/1998

Transmission failed.
