"takata recall" transmission problems, shifting problems.
It will shift hard in all gears. Sometimes won't start, won't move with the transmission shifting issues. If you get in the highway it does it. If you are at low speeds it does it. It's scary when it does it. And dangerous when it happens.
Van was parked in driveway. I was washing it and opened the hood. Luckily I noticed that the negative battery terminal was almost cut clean through. There were only a couple of copper strands grounding my Honda van. I do not want to know what would have happened if it had lost electrical connection while driving!!!.
Replacement transmission failure - vehicle has had original transmission replaced at 56,297 miles on odometer. Replacement transmission failed at 109,474 miles on odometer. Time elapsed between transmission failures - 6. 2 years each. Miles on unit 53,170 miles. Honda USA will do nothing to assist owner in replacing transmission.
Driving in I-78 west and speed suddenly decreased while rpm increased. Steered over to shoulder and stopped. Shifted car into park. Then I shifted into drive and van would not move. Rpm increased again. Van towed off highway and then eventually home. Transmission shot per mechanic. Transmission previously replaced under warranty at 56,125 miles. Currently at 143,000 miles. Honda will not provide any additional assistance. Totally unhappy with Honda and will not purchase another one.
The car slowed down and would not accelerate. The engine lights and other lights came on. The mechanic has informed me that I will need to have the transmission replaced. Again for the 3rd time. And this after having the transmission flushed in February of 2013. The transmission had to be replaced in 2007, 2011 and now 2013. I had to pay out of pocket for the 2011 and now they say for the 2013. There is something wrong with the vehicle that the transmissions are failing so soon. The first two times the vehicle completely stopped in traffic.
While I was driving, the vehicle hesitated and then came to a full stop with engine still running but the vehicle will not move forward or backward.
2001 Honda Odyssey. Consumer states problem with transmission the consumer stated according to the Honda owner link website there is an automatic transmission recall for the Odyssey minivans. When the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and mentioned the recall, they didn't respond. They just diagnosed the problems as a slipping transmission, a new ecu was needed, the front and rear mounts were broken and the right front and left rear struts needed to be replaced. The consumer took the vehicle to an independent shop and they concluded the transmission was indeed failing. The recommendation was replacement or a complete overhaul.
Vehicle was taken for a routine general maintenance, and mechanic determined that engine mounts wore out prematurely.
