Recently, while traveling on interstate 94, the check engine light came on in my vehicle along with a light that reads "tcs". Shortly after these two lights came on, my vehicle began having problems accelerating. When I drive my vehicle, I have problems with the van taking off and maintaining stability once in motion. During travel on highways, freeways, interstates, or city streets, my vehicle violently shifts from first gear to second gear when I press on the accelerator, causing it to slow down unexpectedly before jerking into motion in the middle of traffic. Also, during recent night time travel the headlights began to flicker, go dim then get bright again. The vehicle also slows down when turning corners then will suddenly jump into motion. Also, the driver side passenger door recently went off track causing a screaming alarm to sound during travel. I have recently had to have the high pressure power steering line replaced because it had a hole in the upper hose. I am extremely concerned that the poor acceleration of my vehicle and the violent jerking from first to second gear will cause an accident. My vehicle is my only mode of transportation to work, school and any important place that I need to travel to.
I was driving the van and all of sudden without any warning lights stopped and could not move forward in my street.
Transmission completely froze (locked-up). This is the second transmission in this vehicle, the first was replaced under a class action suit against Honda. Fortunately, driver was near side of road and recognized a problem prior to the complete lock-up, otherwise the van would have skidded to a stop in the middle of the highway. Honda informs they will not provide any assistance with any replacement transmission and will only offer a 1 year warranty. It costs over $4000 to replace the tranmission in this vehicle. Honda is completely unsympathetic to the potential risks they are forcing on Odyssey owners. This had happened to thousands of Odyssey owners and Honda need to be held accountable.
Driving thru the mountain from kanab ut to flagstaff az on hwy 89 (scenic route) the transmission began to whine and tach out at 7000-8000 rpms in d4. Vehicle would not respond, as if slipping. Then down shifted to d3 and the same thing happened. Out in the middle of nowhere, they limped into flagstaff at d2 and 40 mph. Notified that the transmission was gone and needed to be replaced. Honda refuses to assist with repairs even though they have know about their design flaw for years.

I just bought a Honda Odyssey year 1999. The transmission just broke at only 91,000 miles. After reading so many complaints about transmission issues, I felt I should express my frustration in this matter. One thing I will tell you, I will never buy a Honda car again. It is unbelievable how many complaints there are about this issue. I wrote a letter to Honda just to be denied any kind of help. Honda should stand for their crappy transmssions on the odssey and offer some help. I've always owned Toyota cars and all I can say is that they very reliable cars. If your planning on buying a Honda, please think about twice!.

Vehicle stop shifting gears first, unresponsive to accelerator. Slipping constanly as it started motion. Second gear not working at all. Check engine lights and emergency light went on. Can only operate on l1 gear. At the time was moving to costa rica. Did not have time to fix in us. Vehicle currently in costa rica. Made flush and repairs but it does not work properly. Parked most of the time.
Motor mounts broken. First time was when I got my transmission done at about 100,000 miles of which I never got reimbursed for per class action settlement. Second time was a few years back. Now I'm told that my motor mounts are broken at st. Lucie battery in jensen beach, florida. These motor mounds that Honda is putting in their vans don't hold the engine well without breaking.
We are experiencing a problem with our transmission that is setting our engine code off. I believe the code is a po740. This problem said to be very common in these vans.
Was driving approximately 55mph odometer rolled to 50,000 miles. When this happened, vehicle just stalled out. There was no prior warning of problem. Vehicle started to roll backwards. Placed vehicle in neutral & vehicle started right. Pulled to side of road & turned vehicle off. Will be taking vehicle to dealer to check out problem.
The speedometer and tachometer failed during the trip on highway, I brought the van to the dealer, but they don't have the parts and don't know when the parts will become available. Driving without speedometer could be dangerous especially in winter conditions.
1999 Odyssey with transmission problems. * the consumer has been having ongoing problem with the transmission for over three years. The vehicle would roll while on hills, was sluggish and would not shift properly. Everytime the vehicle was taken to be repaired the consumer was assured that nothing was wrong. The transmission was finally changed but the problems continued.
The automatic transmission allows the minivan to slip backward on a hill when the foot is taken off the accelerator or brake. Since I had never driven this minivan before, I almost slid backward into another vehicle. As this transmission is unlike that on other cars I have driven, a warning should be placed prominently in the manual, and the dealer should instruct new Honda owners about this risk.
Recall for instrument/tail lights; vehicle has digital instrument lights with speedometer not registering. Also tail lights/ radio, and vanity light will not operate. Van is still having erratic performance of electrical system even after dealer made attempt to modify. Please describe details.
