1 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2019

My 2001 Honda Odyssey was shaking and when I would shift it in gear and wouldn't shift and it would drive rough. I changed all the solenoid but the problem is still there. Now I'm just going to junk it I can't afford putting a new transmission it only has 112,000 miles. I only used my Honda to go to work and home in the city streets.

2 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2010

Transmission slippage during shift from first to second gear when accelerating from a complete stop, as if the vehicle cannot gain traction. Rolling backward at an incline from a complete stop, when the accelerator is pressed. Engine speeds up, transmission does not immediately shift, and when it does finally engage the shift is extremely rough, with a noticeable loss of acceleration/power. Obdii code indicates a p0740 (tcc enable solenoid circuit electrical) problem, and the transmission now needs to be replaced at 119,344 miles. I've discovered that american Honda is aware of this particular defect, and have issued several extended warranties pertaining to transmission failures in 1999-2002 Honda Odysseys, yet they have never issued a recall to correct the ongoing problem.

3 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2009

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Odyssey. While driving 30 mph, the vehicle felt as if it would hesitate. The engine did not rev and the vehicle was not accelerating properly. The contact took the vehicle to a repair shop and the mechanic stated that there was an issue with the solenoid switch, which caused the transmission to fail and possibly lock up completely. Through research, the contact discovered that this was a very common issue with this type of vehicle. The contact believes that a recall should be issued. The manufacturer has not been notified. The VIN was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 58,000.

4 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2008

Transmission broke first time and replaced at end of 2005. Last week I and my two baby was entering in interstate. . . Car stopped and felt like was in neutral. . . Closer to cause a big accident. . . After incident,changed the solenoids, but did work. . . Need a transmission replace again!!!!!.

5 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2006

: the consumer stated while driving various speeds, the automatic transmission did not shift and lost all gears. The consumer was able to pull over to the side of the road. The check engine and other lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and it was determined the transmission and power steering wires needed to be replaced. On July 6 ,2006 the shift solenoid was replaced. The consumer stated the vehicle has had 4 transmission's. Updated 09/19/06.

6 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 11/22/2002

Second transmission failure. Two months ago, had unexpected down shift from 4th to 2nd on highway (luckily devoid of traffic). Honda repaired transmission by replacing solenoid switch, not replacing transmission. Again, while driving (this time accelerating) transmission slipped, unexpectedly allowing no power to drive wheels during acceleration. Luckily was on a deserted road, no other traffic. If I was pulling out into highway (as we have to do to leave our neighborhood) results could have been catastrophic, as unexpected inability to accelerate/move into traffic flow would most cause trucks barelling down hill to hit us. Lucky this happened 2 minutes and 1/4 mile earlier than that. Others may not be so lucky. Dt.

7 Transmission Solenoid problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2002

Dealer stated that shift solenoids should be replaced but that past cases this has not resolved the problem and recommended replacing transmission at our expense. This problem appears to be significant for the Odyssey and should merit a recall. We are pursuing legal advice.

8 Transmission Solenoid problem

Problems with vehicle dome lights dimming briefly. The purge control solenoid cycled off and on repeatedly, the a/c blower motor speed decreased and various dash/dome lights dimmed for approximately 10 seconds then revert back to its high speed setting and original brightness. There was a grinding noise that had come from the transmission which was repaired.
