general problems of the 1999 Honda Odyssey

I was driving the car in heavy traffic when the engine shutdown and was almost run into by several cars behind and beside the car. The cars engine has been determined to be seized up even though there was no warning of either low oil pressure or high engine temp or any engine malfunction indicator. The engine has been regularly maintained. This cold have been a disaster had the driver of the vehicle had not taken heroic measures to get the vehicle safely pulled over and stopped. This action could have caused the driver and possibly the other vehicles beside and behind serious injuries and or possibly a fatality. I have done some research on this issue and there are others that this has happened to. Something needs to be done about this issue before someone loses their life over it.

The contact owns a 1999 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration power. The contact stated that the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 174,000.

1999 Honda Odyssey ex. 65,300miles. The check engine light on. Code p0740 faulty trans. When start acceleration the first gear is slippery and the driver feels "kick-back". Especially when drive on free way it takes time to speed up from the fist gear to the next gear.

: the contact stated while driving 20 mph on dry asphalt roads, the vehicle did not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed all the way to the floor. There was no response. The vehicle was pulled to the side of the road, and all the warning lights illuminated. It was taken to a service dealer, who was unable to duplicate the problem. Updated 10/30/2006 - the dealer replaced electrical parts. The recalled part had been previously replaced when the recall was receibed about two years ago.

While driving and applying brakes vehicle will continue to accelerate, causing damage to bumper. Dealer has been notified.

Transmission failing. Clutch engages late and suddenly: engine revs as gas is applied but clutch doesn't engage, then clutch engages suddenly, causing car to jerk forward hard. This is dangerous--can't pull out into traffic, because I don't know if car will actually go when I step on the gas, and car coasts as transmission tries (but fails) to shift between e. G. 1st and 2nd. Please require a recall on this--many people have reported the same problem in auto newsgroups on the internet. This is clearly a manufacturing defect, and a potentially serious safety problem as well.

While going up a mountain engine check light came and consumer kept driving. Vehicle would not go foward, it kept going backards. Consumer feels this is very unsafe, especially for their kids.

Consumer received two recalls 99v-158000 and 99v157000, concerning Honda/sliding door latch, and Honda/air intake resonator; dealer been notified and still informing consumer of no parts received. Seeking NHTSA help in this matter before injury or even death may occur because dealer not taking mfr. Recall seriously.
