- my Honda Odyssey 2000 got the 1st transmission breakdown at 106k miles in 7/2009. Honda agreed to pay half of the repair cost and I paid half (~$2000) to replace a new remanufactured transmission fr Honda. - the 2nd transmission last me another 34k miles (4 years) and it suddenly broke down yesterday. - I lose trust in Honda. Not sure if Honda still continue honor their warranty on the transmission with they claimed they have fix the issue on the remanufactured transmission.

3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2013

All the motor mounts and transmission mounts need to be replaced. I've never heard of this being an issue in any other vehicle, but after doing a quick google search I discovered it is common in Odysseys. We should be able to drive our vehicles without being concerned for the stability of our engine and tranny. This just shouldn't happen.

4 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2012

My Honda Odyssey (year 2000) stopped at a traffic light, then when green light was on, it roared big time at very high rpm, and moved very little. Lots of cars behind me. After about a minute, my car suddenly moved, and moved as normal as usual. Since then, especially when it is cold, my cars moves very teeny-tiny bit after a stop, and then suddenly pull forward. The situation is even worse if my car stops at bottom of a hill, then climbing up the hill after that is a big challenge. I was told it is probably transmission problem, there was a recall. But Honda dealers said Honda does not share any cost if I replace the transimission system (about $4000) which is recommended by the dealer, because it is out of warranty period, even though the mileage is now just a bit more than 70k.

5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2012

I have bought my used Odyssey in January 2012 from a dealer and the transmission failed at 107,000 miles. I know there was a recall in 2004 that had the warranty up to 100,000 miles and an approved class lawsuit in 2006 that extended the warranty up to 109,000 miles. Therefore, my van is still under the warranty since its at 107,000. I strongly request that this issue is resolved as soon as possible and that Honda fixes and pays for the repair; or at least give me a call and discuss the matter. It is not possible for me to pay for the transmission entirely because I am a student and I simply cannot afford it. Thank you.

6 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2012

Front motor mount broken and side mount worn. Both need replacing. Reading blogs and finding this is a very common problem on Hondas, which Honda refuses to take any responsibility for.

7 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2011

In may 2005 the transmission on this 2000 Odyssey failed and was replaced by our local dealer at no charge under the directions of service bulletin 02-062. The mileage at the time was almost 72,000 miles. We had heard that there had been transmission problems and we thought that the 2005 replacement would have solved the problem. Now, after another 68,000 miles, the replacement transmission has failed. This replacement Odyssey transmission failed after sunset at about 7:00 pm on an unlit two lane country road with little room or opportunity to park safely. My husband, who is almost 70 years old was driving and with no gears barely managed to pull over to the side of the road. It was still dangerously close to the road, but fortunately another driver stopped and helped my husband push the Odyssey a few extra feet to a slightly safer area. We were about 100 yards from a curve where approaching cars could not see us until they were almost upon us. The only protection we had was our emergency flashers. We were approximately five miles from our home in a very rural area with no close services. We had to wait on the side of the road for almost two hours for a tow truck to arrive. It was a very dangerous and frightening experience. Since we have always been meticulous in dealer recommended and provided maintenance, I have no doubt that inadequate and/or shoddy Honda replacements parts are responsible for this failure. That failure put both my husband and myself in a disturbing and perilous situation.

8 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/20/2011

Transmission not shifting right, lock out, car not moving. Van cannot go in reverse. Before it happened notice that when turning left, indoor lighting flickers especially obvious at night time driving. At stop it hesitate and when stepping at accelerator, the van jerks and jumps to high speed causing me to brake right away, felt a whiplash every time. Check recall ended after seven years but owner did nor receive any letter from Honda office about the recall. Try to contact Honda but told me recall ended.
