Transmission Gear Slipping problems of the 2000 Honda Odyssey

We traveled from new mexico to California and when we arrived and got in town the transmission started slipping on city street.

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the transmission slipped while driving at low speeds. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was determined that the pressure switch for the gears failed. The dealer first attempted to change the transmission, but that did not work. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 104,000 and the current mileage was 114,000.

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the transmission began slipping and smoke was seen coming from under the hood. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the dealer stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. The contact was not told specifically what caused the transmission to fail. The failure and the current mileage was 160,000.

I purchased a 2000 Honda Odyssey in September, 1999. At approximately 42,000 miles the transmission went out and it was replaced under warranty. No rental car was available from the dealership. Approximately 49,000 miles later the first replacement went out and it had to be replaced again. . . This time under warranty with a warning that I was getting a big break. Again, for 4 days I had to go without a vehicle. Now it's 45,000 miles later and the second replacement is also done. . . This time the car was dangerous to drive as the gears slipped and there was no power to accelerate. This time I have been denied any assistance or compensation by Honda and the bill for the "new" transmission is $4,700. This is due to being outside of the extended warranty of 109,000 miles. I left the car at the dealership in order to think about my options. Three (3) transmissions in 136,000 miles. Are you kidding me? my question is. . . And I don't think it's an unfair one. . . What kind of sub-par transmissions were they throwing into my vehicle? this is not a normal life span of a transmission; 40,000 miles. If I were to have it replaced again, I would be driving on my fourth transmission in 10 years. Please; someone explain to me how this is permissible. Like most everything these days, where is the accountability?.

Transmission started to slip and then failed almost immediately on our 2000 Honda Odyssey. This is the third transmission and was installed new under warranty. We were on a rural highway traveled about 55 mph, when the slippage started and quickly lost forward gear and the ability to maintain highway speed. The road is hilly and another vehicle could have rear-ended us at that point. The current transmission has 64,000 miles on it.

This is the 2nd transmission failure on my 2000 Odyssey, it was suddenly slow down while driving on a 65 mph highway as the transmission slipped and shifted down gears. The check engine and tcs lights are on. The failure code was read as p0740 in a dealership. This is a very common problem and the car may suddenly slow down or speed up or complete stop in the traffic without any prediction from the driver. It's not only very dangerous to Odyssey driver and passengers but also to the other cars on the road. My 2000 Odyssey got 2 transmissions failed already. I don't have confidence on the 3rd one. In NHTSA safety complaint data base you have so many similar reports already. Nhtsa cannot allow this situation continues and so many dangerous Odyssey vans running with dangerous transmissions. Honda once recalled some model years Odyssey but not all problematic years. Why this happened? on the internet car communities like edmound. Com and odyclub. Com, many customers are experiencing this dangerous now. It may be the high mileages of the cars led to high rate of failures. Honda should recall and fix this safety issue before any real fatal accident happens.

Transmission started slipping - took it to dealer to have checked and services. They changed fluid, filters etc. The problem was worse after they did that.

We have a 2000 Honda Odyssey. Honda replaced the transmission under recall at about 68,0000 miles, and it was replaced before we noticed any problems with it. We were outside the 3 year warranty they had given us on the replacement when we starting noticing the transmission slip. They refused to replace it under warranty when we took it in, telling us repair cost would be $4500. At about 130,0000 miles, the replaced transmission actually failed while we were driving on a trip out of town. After it failed, we paid someone else to repair it, causing us over 3500 in towing, repair and rental car costs. We were stranded on the side of a road with a family of 4 in the 105 degree texas heat until we were able to get assistance.

2000 Honda Odyssey transmission is slipping with 166,900 miles on it.

First incident 5/5 08-transmission was shifting hard and then engine light and tcs light went on. Brought it to Honda dealer the ran the code and stated internal trans failure. Since we are the original owners and had all trans service at Honda they agreed to split half the cost. I asked what if this should happen again the service rep stated "don't worry about it" it will last at long time. Well here I am again with 45,000 miles later same problem. Brought it to Honda and they said "sorry you on your own" 4-5 thousand to replace. That is more than the van is worth. I think it's terrible that Honda is aware of transmission problems but refuse to recall or fix them correctly. When the transmission starting slipping on 12/8/12 I was in the middle of traffic and it slipped into neutral without warning. I almost was hit. I couldn't move, the van had no power, just reverted up the 3000 rpm's I was scared. I didn't know what to do. I guess when people start getting killed in car accidents from the defective transmissions from Honda maybe something will hopefully be done about it.

2000 Honda Odyssey ex - experienced transmission slip, followed by a jerk while driving. I thought it would need a flush, even though it has not reached the Honda maintenance schedule. Had the mechanic take a look at it and flushed out the transmission fluid with new Honda atf. Issue started arising a few weeks after the flush and it became a problem. Took it to the mechanic again and found out it was a transmission problem. The car currently has roughly close to 82k miles and dealership stated this is out of the extended 7yr warranty phase. .

The contact owns a 2000 Honda Odyssey. While driving 20 mph, the contact experienced transmission failure. There was a slip in the transmission, but he thought it was just wear and tear of the vehicle. Someone informed the contact of a recall, but he never received a notice. He called Honda and was informed that there was a recall, but due to a technicality regarding the warranty or time limits, he was ineligible for the repair. The contact stated that the transmission slipped multiple times. The dealer stated that because the vehicle exceeded 100,000 miles, there was nothing that could be done. The purchase date and recall number were unknown. The current mileage was 142,000 and failure mileage was 130,000.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds with pressure applied to the accelerator pedal, the automatic transmission was delayed in shifting gears and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who determined the automatic transmission needed to be replaced. After the replacement, the sluggish transmission problem persisted. The vehicle was returned to the dealer for further inspection. It was determined the automatic transmission was slipping and needed rebuilt. The manufacturer was alerted.

In December 2003, the transmission and catalytic converter went out on my 2000 Honda Odyssey Mini van. The car is only three years old and had only 65,000 miles on it--too soon to need a new transmission. After some research, I discovered that Honda has serious problems with their transmissions and the Honda dealer I took it to admitted as much. To fix this known defect in their vehicles, Honda has extended the warranty on transmissions on many of their cars including my year model and make. So the service department said that Honda would replace my transmission for free. However, when they pulled up my VIN I was given the unfortunate news that my car has a canadian VIN--a supposed "grey market vehicle" and that Honda voids the warranty on these vehicles. I had never even heard of a grey market vehicle. So even though my Honda Odyssey was made in the exact same canadian plant with the exact same sub standard transmission as the cars they are replacing transmissions on, Honda refused to pay for my transmission. This is in my opinion a safety-related defect; when my transmission was slipping, my car was completely unreliable in acceleration. I was so afraid that I would pull out in front of someone or be turning and my car wouldn't go and they would crash into my van with my two small children in the back. Thank god my husband and I were able to afford the $3200 bill for a new transmission so I didn't have to drive my unsafe vehicle more than 2 weeks (although that was too long if you ask me). But I know there are many people with these faulty transmissions who can't afford to get them fixed right away, so they just drive the car until they can afford a new one. It's a safety issue to have those people on the road. To me, Honda should recall these transmissions; they are an obvious threat to everyone's safety on the road. Thank you.

Transmission slips into neutral when in the drive position while driving the vehicle. Dealership is evaluating the problem but won't confirm yet (4 days now). I have become aware thru other Odyssey owners that this is not an isolated problem with many transmissions going quickly or eventually (1999-2001 engine models). This should be recalled and replaced at no charge for the life of the vehicle by the auto maker. Apparently, the replacements are "used/repaired" transmissions that also fail.

On June 16, 2000 my 2000 Honda odyessy was rear ended or hit by another vehicle in the rear bumper. The cause of the accident was the transmission failure with only 6,000 miles on the odyessy. I was southbound on euclid Ave. At interstate 5. I was stopped at a red light in a uphill position. I was the first vehicle at the light. When the light turn green, I proceeded to go and my Odyssey transmission slipped and then caught and then the engine stalled out. This caused the Odyssey to lurch forward and then stop suddenly. When the Odyssey stopped I still had my foot on the gas to go so that no brake lights came on to warn the drivers to my rear that my vehicle was about to stop. My Odyssey was hit in the rear bumper by the vehicle to my rear. The accident was reported to the anaheim police who came to the scene and made report # dr no 00-23199. The vehicle to my rear was without insurance. I reported this accident to Honda of America and the called me back to inform me that they would not assume responsibility for the damages to my vehicle. I have not had an appraisal of my damages yet it could be several thousand dollars. I am holding off because on the appraisal because the vehicle behind mine had no insurance and american Honda claims no responsibility. On a separate incident on June 24, 2000 my left rear tire blue out at 70 mph with only 7,500 miles on it. I came to a safe stop and had the tire replaced for $100. 00 . Another problem is that the brakes grind with a metal to metal sound when coming to a complete stop. Another problem is that my power steering sometimes hesitates and jerks. Another problem is when running the rear airconditioning on high the rear blower speed fluctuates like as if it has a bad connection. Another problem that I have noticed since the colder weather around November, 2000 when I use the defroster on the front windows it smells like an electrical fire, or like wires are burning. (dot number: m30d tiresize: p215/65r16).

Transmission slippage at 100,000 miles even though regular services done on the car.
