Transmission Fluid Leaking problems of the 2002 Honda Odyssey

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that this was the second time that the transmission failed on the vehicle. In 2005 the transmission replaced at 70,000 miles. The first transmission was repaired under recall campaign number 04v176000 for the power train. The recent failure occurred while driving 40 mph when the transmission started slipping and smoking. The contact had to stop the vehicle and noticed that there was transmission fluid leaking out of the vehicle. A diagnostic test was being performed by a transmission specialist; however, had not been inspected when the complaint was filed. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileages were 167000.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that he is experiencing failure with the powertrain automatic transmission. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle lost power and smoke began to rise from the front of the vehicle. He then noticed fluid leaking from the undercarriage. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where they stated that the injector kit was bent and burned and he may need a new transmission. After the vehicle was repaired at 62,123 miles, the transmission light illuminated on the dashboard. Honda of America stated that they would provide him with a new transmission. However, he would be responsible for the cost, even though they are aware that this is a manufacturer defect. The dealer also stated that he would have 2. 5 hours to take the offer or the deal is off, especially if he were to take the matter to court. The contact has a report from the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed. Recall number 04v176000 (power train:automatic transmission) was referenced. The current mileage is 79,214 and failure mileage was 78,242.

Purchase vehicle 12/02, soon after purchase returned auto to dealer for pulsing / bumping in drive tran at speeds of 50-65 mph. Told could not duplicate and the they all do this. (some reply). At 46k miles vehicle continued pulsing but now was at times slipping into a nuetral gear, (auto rpm would red line when this happened) transmission would then rengage. Dealer than changed a soleniod vave and did another fluid flush (I had already did the flush). Dealer attempted to charge me for valve. We agreed with odyessey cronic transmission problems it should be warrenteed. At 48k miles transmission continued slipping / bucking. I would not allow my wife to drive it at this point for safety reasons in atlanta traffic. I drove it to work and at about 75 mph, it started loosing power (drive tran power). The lose of power was followed by and hard bump, bucking, tcr light on, check engine light on, brake light on. I pulled over and no fluid was leaking. Vehicle wa s able to continue on normally (??) although lights stayed on. I called dealer and brought back in that day. Transmission was changed. Now at 61k miles the vehicle continues to pulse / buck at 50-65 mph. There is a recall on earlier Odyssey's transmissions why no 2002's.
