general problems of the 2000 Honda Odyssey

We had this van, and three time transmission blew first time it blew at 50,000 mile, second time it blew at 70000 and third time it blew at 112000 mile, and we are not getting good response from Honda customer service. First time when it blew, I call them they said you passed the number of years so we are not going to fix it free, I end up paying from my pocket. I got new transmission form Honda, second time when it blew that time it is only 20,000 mile, when I went to dealer, they said they cover only 1 year 12,000 warranty, I end up paying from my pocket, now this third time it blew up, if I am not proper response then I need to think in future, I might go with different manufacture. Electrical panel is also not working. If Honda making this kind of car/van and this kind of customer service, then I need to think in future, I might go with different manufacture.

We were driving down the road and noticed a small wisp of smoke coming from the steering column. We exited the highway and took the plastic cover off the steering column and investigated. Seeing no more smoke we figured a fuse had blown or some such and took a short break from driving. We got back in the van and started off down the highway and for 30 miles or so no problems. Suddenly we noticed the smoke again but this time there was a small cigarette lighter type flame coming from the turn signal box on the column. We immediately exited the next exit and parked on the exit ramp. We tried mango juice to extinguish the fire which worked for a short time but then the fire was back. We called 911 and before the fire department could get there (approx. 2-3 minutes) the small little flame had grown to consume the entire car in flames. The car was totally demolished by the fire.

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated the key could erroneously be removed from the ignition without the gear being secured in park. As a result, the contact experienced the vehicle rolling away as he realized that the although the key was removed from the ignition, he failed to engage the vehicle in park. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified who advised the contact that there were no recalls for the failure and offered no further assistance. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 149,000.

Complete transmission failure. Electric seat does not work.

2000 Honda Odyssey, the electric sliding door does not shut all the way and there is possibility that it can open while driving at high speed, that can result in a very dangerous situation because mostly small children are riding in the back seat.

I have a problem with the power sliding doors. On our 2000 exl Odyssey, the passenger and driver side power sliding doors close but not quite all the way, it will not "engage", or "catch". Therefore, the van thinks the door is still open (open door light is on, buzzes continually when put into gear, and interior lights stay on). I have to get out and bump the rear of the door to get it flush. For some reason the back lock part isn't "catching".

Electric back doors are inconsistent with either not opening/shutting all the way. Sometimes will not open at all. Not safe with children/persons in backseats for emergency situations. Honda repaired once when under certified warranty. Has happened several times after. Vehicle not under warranty and Honda dealer is charging astronomical amount to repair. Saying there could be electrical shorts and possible danger. Hope something can be done to help all of us, according to online info, several hundred similar complaints exist.

Check engine light came on about 3 times and paid for them but, after reading all the recalls I knew that is a problem have talk to the service dept they just fix up and sent it to be paid. My insurance company has also paid out on the vehicles 2 out of 3 recalls I have already been through with vehicle what can I do about it????.

Sliding door failures: 8/2005 passenger door failing to open. Took to the dealer who replaced door closer motor assembly. This corrected the problem, however, I was told the car has "old type" door switches and these most likely will fail and then have to be replaced with "new" switches. Cost $361. 37 1/2006: driver sliding door failing to open. Dealer had to replace sliding roller and junction switches and stopper. Cost$ 631. 35 have had to spend almost $1000 in 5 months just to get in and out of the sliding doors!.

Problems with electrical systems on 2000 Honda Odyssey. Power locks, cruise control, and power doors.

The vehicle has a burn smell coming from the engine area. Also the vehicle shut down and there is no power. Please provide additional information. Dealer is aware of the problem. Ts.
