The contact owns a 2003 Honda Odyssey. While driving approximately 40 mph with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle started to violently shake and the traction control and check engine warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 94,000.
Our Odyssey has always shifted a little rough, but I attributed that to its age but on 7/18/14 we were on grocery store visit and the check engine light, tcs light, and maintenance required light all came on. We took it to local mechanic to get the codes read and they said it was the transmission control system, but it was driving fine so I kept going and had our normal mechanic take a look at it about a week later. He too said it was the transmission control system, and that we shouldn't need a new transmission, so take it to Honda and get them to look at it. The service advisor kept saying "this vehicle isn't going to go very far, it's going to leave you on the side of the road" but, we don't have that kind of money right now, and since it's driving "ok" just shifting the same as it always has, we decided to take it home.
The minivan suddenly slowed down and came to a stop on the highway. The check engine light went on. The car starts but does not pick up speed and I feel is dangerous to drive.
As original owner of 2003 Honda Odyssey engine buying car from weir canyon Honda in anaheim hills California. My engine block light, tcs, lit up at 153,000 miles. I have been experiencing a major transmission problem between 2nd and 3rd gear as car seem stuck and I am unable to accelerate. This is not safe at all since my van can be rear ended when it's stuck in this mode. My mechanic advises everyone from not to buy any Honda as his shop rebuilds Honda transmission all the time and makes a fortune from the poor victims of Honda owners like me. . Read more...
Known transmission failure for 2003 Honda Odyssey. Noted and cascaded by american Honda. Repairs could be done under ?goodwill? at Honda?s discretion. Coverage was extended to 7 years or 100,000 miles. It appears that internal damage could happen beyond the said years/mileage range for warranty repair or replacement. From a consumer?s perspective, it is a clause or language used to leverage Honda?s goodwill discretion. This issue has been made public by the NHTSA, while Honda settled out of court, yet did not take full accountability for the known and validated transmission deficiency. Gear slips between first and second gear in the range of 20-30mph. Engine light and tcs light turns on, as well as the drive light flashing (instead of being solid light). Accelerating after a complete stop is very difficult when crossing the intersections. Repairing the pressure switch on 11/2/11 did not rectify the situation.
