general problems of the 2002 Honda Odyssey

I've noticed that while driving the vehicle maintains speed/accelerate (without gas pedal pressed, and with cruise control off). I have to constantly fight the vehicle's constant acceleration with brakes. While idling, it keeps going to high rpm and then reduce and then high rpm.

The 2nd and 3rd gear slips. . . . . Speedometer is off the clock.

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Odyssey. While shifting into drive, the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact crashed the vehicle into multiple objects before coming to a stop. The contact stated that the engine revved even while the vehicle was stopped. A police report was filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 146,000.

The car is s stalling and bubbling. It is like im in nuetral all the sudden.

On 9/10/14 I started noticing transmission slipping/down-shifting at 40mph/2k rpm many times during a less than an hour drive. Rpm would suddenly jump to 4k, and then comes back while the car suddenly jerks/slows as if it's put on engine brake. Vehicle is 2002 Odyssey and has 69k miles. Took the car to Honda dealer where the car has been serviced for years and they were able to reproduce the issue, and I was told it requires a new transmission which would cost $3700 for a reman transmission with 3-y/36 kmil warranty. Talked Honda America and tried to "seek goodwill assistance for transmission" per some recommendations. They took my info, and details, and eventually told me they reviewed their parameters, and decided this is not a case they are willing to assist. Checked my maintenance record and was able to find a recall repair performed many years ago. I searched online and found there are tons of such transmission issues reported on Honda Odyssey. In some cases, there seems to be require a transmission replacement every 50k miles or so. Apparently Honda has been knowingly selling such defective transmissions for many years w/o telling the customers. I'm disappointed to say the least at Honda America, and the so called Honda quality which is proved to be a costly myth. I have a Hyundai with close to 90k miles and so far I don't have any transmission/engine issues. I think I'm done with Honda.

When we are going uphill from full stopped it seems the transmission is not picking up and it sounds like slippage of the gear. Then the yellow check engine indicator lights up and when we got home I grabbed my code reader and says p0730 incorrect gear ratio and p0505 idle. There is no crash but almost because the car behind us are really fast going uphill and because im not pressing the brake so most likely he didnt see that were are not moving with the current flow of traffic plus it happened at night at around 11:05 pm after I dropped off my wife to work. My foot is in the gas pedal when I noticed we are not accelerating no matter how much you press the gas pedal. All you can hear is slippage of gear but idle is going up without power.

The vehicle started jerking around 40 mile per hour giving abnormal revolutions. The vehicle was moving at 10 miles per hour after a few minutes eve with the push of accelerator with sudden jerks.

I have 2002 Honda Odyssey ex car and saw a check engine light turned on my vehicle while I was driving. I went to nearby Honda dealer for a diagnosis and they told me its a transmission issue and needs to be replaced. Also about the Honda Odyssey transmission recall for this 2002 model. My car had only 82000 miles on it. Honda rep. Told me it will take $4600 to fix the problem in their concern. I have 2 infants and I am scared to accompany them in this car because of the transmission issue. Also Honda is not helping to fix their own problem.

Failed on interstate @ 50mph.

Honda Odyssey vehicles apparently have a well known transmission problem. Models from multiple years (including mine: 2002) have short lifes compared to any other vehicle I've seen before. Worse yet, Honda refuses to admit that this is a problem, nor will Honda offer any help paying for the very costly repairs. And worst of all, even if the transmission is replaced (ultimately, the only fix that Honda recommends), the new transmission will also fail prematurely! besides causing outrageous repair and maintenance costs, it's really a dangerous problem for the public besides. The transmission can fail unexpectedly leading to an accident.

My vehicle began to rev like it was in neutral when I was driving at low speed or when I proceeded from a stopped position. I took my vehicle to south shore Honda. On sat 5/26/07 was told that it was the egr valve and that it was still covered under a special warranty. I was told that I had other issues. 1. Front engine mount $362. 75, 2. Side engine mount $219. 65 3. Dealer recommended fuel injector and valve cleaning 193. 90 total $843. 26 with tax. Three days later same problem with the engine rev like it was in neutral. Took vehicle back to Honda on 6/2/07. This time I was told that it was the transmission and that it would cost $4900. 00 to fix. Vehicle has 42,839 miles. Spoke to service manager about all the events and said he would call Honda hq and get back to me. I will give an update as soon as I hear from the service manger.

Two transmissions replaced at the dealership, so far, on my Honda Odyssey Mini van, one at 60,000, the other at 162,000. The most recent failed transmission (6/16/2012) happened while traveling 60mph on a freeway, it felt like it slipped into neutral because I had no ability to accelerate! it was terrifying! I felt it miraculous that I could 'coast' off the road without being hit.

I bought a 2002 Honda Odyssey from small dealer. Come to find out that the engine oil is leaking. It had 52000 miles on it. Dealer says it is out of warranty due to mileage. I believe that Honda should fix that problem for me as it is not due to wear and tear of the vehicle. I believe the seal is defective and should be replaced free of charge. The dealer is asking $600. 00 to fix the problem. The vehicle also lunges forward when decelerating and coming to a graded stop.

The consumer heard noises coming from the vehicle's transmission. The vehicle pulled to the right, the electronic equipment light would go on and off for no reason, the air bag light had come on, transmission failed, the gears would not shift easily, the rpm arrow would erratically swing from different levels while the transmission was struggling to shift gears, the tcs light was intermittent along with the engine light and the heater exhilarated a loud sound when in use.

The vehicle was serviced for an oil leak at the dealer. While sitting in the vehicle a friend noticed fuel leaking from the vehicle. The dealer serviced the vehicle, and told consumer it was normal to smell gas. The gas smell continued. The vehicle was taken back to the service dealer and was informed that the gas cap need to be replaced. The driveway would be covered in oil. The transmission would shift rough and would jerk.

While driving engine revved at a high rate, causing extended stopping distance. Consumer managed to pull over, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

2002 Honda Odyssey car intermittently accelerates upon braking 32,000 miles started about 2 months ago dealer can not find the problem, no repairs have been made.

While driving at any speed and applying the brakes with all warning light on instrument panel the vehicle suddenly accelerated. Dealer notified.
