general problems of the 2004 Honda Odyssey

I’ve seen several recalls on the transmission for Honda Odysseys that are 2004 just like mine . My transmission has been horrible for the entire time ive had it. When accelerating, it jumps super hard from 1st into 2nd gear. Switching from first gear to 2nd. Sometimes I have to manually switch it into d3 just to get the vehicle moving again. I’ve found this to be pretty scary at times . I’ve searched and searched to see if I had a recall for the transmission and I haven’t but it did show the srs system recall which I did have serviced. I’m making this complaint because I feel like my vehicle has been affected and overlooked.

Good evening, I am filing a complaint against american Honda motor CO. Last year, the manufacturer failed to remedy the ongoing automatic transmission recall 04v-176. Braman Honda in miami, florida did not inspect the transmission as required and lied on their work order that the transmission is bad. The service department took 7 hours with my van. Please see attached. My transmission was in working condition when it taken to the service department last year. I am currently experiencing the issues that the recall warns that may happen due to the ongoing gear issues. Last week, while I was driving on the highway, my van's transmission locked up and I almost had an accident. Fortunately, I was able to drive it home safely. I rely on my van for work therefore this matter is affecting us financially. My wife recently called the manufacturer's recall hotline and spoke with lisa. The rep advised that I will have to tow my van and pay out of pocket, for the service department to evaluate this issue. Since the manufacturer failed to remedy this recall last year, I am requesting the following: I would like for an engineer or mechanic to be dispatched to our home and check the transmission. Once the matter is assessed, then I can pay out of pocket for my vehicle to be towed to a nearby authorized Honda dealer for service. Lisa explained to my wife that there is a 50/50 chance that this transmission�recall issue will actually be repaired which is unacceptable. I currently live in florida which is the third state with the highest amount of covid-19 cases therefore this would be the most feasible option. Last year's case with the manufacturer was closed prematurely even though my wife advised it was still ongoing. With that said, due to braman Honda's negligence, I am currently without a vehicle since it is unsafe to drive it in this condition. Thank you.

Takata airbag recall:I got an inform that let me make sure if need repair my airbag and try to get a free repair here.

Cannot put key in ignition fully and/or cannot turn key in ignition to start car.

Nhtsa ticket #: 1068744 I am submitting this complaint because I took my 2004 Honda Odyssey to rudolph Honda in el paso, TX to correct four recalls. The recalls were not corrected because my vehicle now has its srs indicator light constantly on along with the side airbag off and passenger airbag off indicator lights flashing. Failed component 2: srs ecu.

The drive (d) light on the gear shift started blinking while I was driving. I pulled over and shifted to park, but the light continued to blink. I turned off the engine, and when I turned it back on the blinking had stopped. American Honda has told me that this may be related to a 2004 transmission-related recall, and that if so Honda will pay for the repairs. However, it must be diagnosed by a dealer, and Honda dealers charge a $115 diagnostic fee. Both the dealer and american Honda have told me they cannot waive the fee. However, I feel that the fee should be waived as this is a safety issue, and the only purpose of the diagnostic test is to determine whether Honda will pay for the repairs. If they will not pay for the repairs, we do not intend to have the repairs done.

2004 Honda Odyssey. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle recall and unsatisfactory customer service at dealership.

Transmission overheats and stops working completely. Have to change fluid about every 750 miles to keep it moving somewhat.

Was driving normal then car stalled and started reving very loud and jerking when pushing on gas while the d for drive was lashing even when put ino park the d still flashed blue was reading about problem and it sounds like transmission failure.

Driving on highway on 11/15/2014 way to work around 65 mph and suddenly felt a jerk as some one hit from behind, looked around and keep driving felt jerk again and speed of vehicle came down pulled car to the side. Stopped the engine f0r few minutes and started the car again put gear in drive and car is moving very slowly even giving enough gas. End of calling tow truck and towed car to close by dealer. Dealer called me today 11/15/2014 to inform there is a transmission failure and need around $6000 in repairs.

Driving 2004 Odyssey (140k miles) down I-95 in richmond (from nova) and started losing power (dropping speed with increasing rpms). Bad smell and smoke out the back led me to believe it was my catalytic converter. Check engine light never came on. Found a shop that replaced the cc. While replacing they noticed lots of oil under my vehicle. Turns out it was transmission fluid. The shop topped off the transmission fluid (4 qts), let it run for a while, didn't see a leak, and I drove off the lot. I noticed the check engine light was still on so I returned to the auto shop. They were having trouble erasing the error code so the light would go off so they recommended I have it fixed when I returned home. I was on my way to a north carolina beach with no other problems encountered (albeit a check engine light still lit). Local driving at the beach at low speeds (below 40 mph) caused no issues. The following week on my way from the nc beach to nova, the tcs light was now lit (in addition to the check engine light). Within a few miles I encountered a similar situation while heading north on I-95 (as I did the week before while heading south on I-95) though not as severe (slight drop in speed with increasing rpms, bad smell with smoke out the back of the vehicle). I found out the next day about the Honda Odyssey transmission problem. Sounds like I was lucky to get 140k out of it, though not happy to hear about the lack of responsibility taken by Honda. My wife and I have been loyal Honda customers since 1984 with 4 vehicles purchased. No more.

While driving at around 10 mph, heard a loud sound from right side, then noticed the right side mirror was gone. Went a local police department, they said that the mirror popped out itself.

The vehicle was in park and started moving in the back and tried to put breaks and started accelerating more.

Have owned this oddysey since 2008 and the vehicle at that time had around 40,000 miles. At that time I had to replace the front engine mount. Las week I went to the dealer for 90k service and they tell me I need to replace both the front right and front middle mount again!!!. So these mounts last 40 to 50k miles at max, outrageous for a brand like Honda. I will cost me now 800$ to replace these 2.

I was entering an 4way and it was my way to clear to enter, when a driver on my right side enter after I had allready entered the intersection and was well underway. The other driver complain that he was blinded by the sun and ran into me on my right side of van. My insurance asked if my airbags had opened they didn't. The passenger door was damaged and the back side sliding door was completely damaged and was not able to open it and the opened door ding would not stop ringing. I am concerned why the bag didn't opened?.

The key would frequently fall out of the lock, or get stuck in the lock. A recall was issued for the interlock lever in the ignition switch. We were unable to immediately bring our vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair because it was our sole source of transportation. While I was away in California attending my aunt's memorial, the key to the vehicle failed to function whether in park or otherwise. The tow truck driver broke the key off in the lock trying to get the vehicle into neutral, because the switch would not properly release the key. The vehicle was brought to the dealer to apply the recall repair to the interlock lever any other necessary part of the ignition switch* per the recall notice. After replacing the ignition switch, the dealer and Honda corporate decided that this was not a recall issue and refused to accept responsibility for any part of the repair cost, even though the notice clearly states that repairs to the interlock lever and necessary part of the ignition switch* should be covered at no cost. Ron in the case management division of american Honda corporate (he refused to give me his last name, but indicated that he was the only ron in that division) and brad anderson at the local dealership, crown Honda of greensboro, both refused to acknowledge any responsibility for this repair and forced us to pay full price for the repair in order to release my van. The recall notice clearly states that not only the faulty interlock lever but any necessary part of the ignition switch would be replaced at no cost. It doesn't matter whether there were other issues with the ignition switch. It was still specifically stated in the recall notice that this would be covered at no cost. Apparently, Honda does not feel that it has to honor the recall notice if there are any other minor mechanical issues existing in the ignition assembly.

Received news from a local Honda dealership that all 4 engine mounts were broken for a cost of $925. When looking for parts happen to see the amount of chatter regarding engine mounts on several model years of the Odyssey. Lesson learned. . . Perhaps check this site before buying any vehicle. Seems Honda should cover some of the cost at least.

Engine mount is broken. Both side mount and front mount.

I was coming out of apartment parking lot and suddenly car stopped. I have to towed car to herb chamber of Honda in westborough, MA. Technician told me that it is a computer failure. I am not sure why computer fail as before this incident my used not to start after parking. To start I had to insert key and move gear from parking to d1 and move it back to p and it started all the time. I not sure this is a computer issue. They are charging me $1500. 00 for this. Could you please help to resolve this. Since I bought this car I am having issues, my car paint is peeling off too, withour corrosion or scratch.

About may 2013, I noticed the paint peeling from the area near the back windows. When I told the technician at Honda roseville, he just said it was wear and tear. It can't be wear and tear in the upper frame of the windows. If it is not addressed soon, the paint will continue peeling up to the roof area. Through research, I have found several complaints about peeling paint on this model and color of vehicle.

Check engine light on; Honda dealer talks about transmission issue and asking it to be replaced. Replacement cost: $6500 I heard that many other Honda Odyssey owners complaints about transmission problem and it has to be addressed that Honda Odyssey van is having critical transmission issue built between year 1999 to 2004. Transmission became defective with no reason, so much frustrated as vehicle has hardly done 100k miles.

Roughly 3 weeks ago when putting the van into d it would hesitate before engaging. The delay became greater and then it started slipping between 2cnd & third gears. Three days ago the transmission completely disengaged while driving. I turned the the van off, started it again & it drove for nearly . 5 miles only to stop again. At this point I have been told I need to replace the transmission & have found a litany of information about the faulty Honda transmission.

The midnight blue paint is peeling. I did not receive notice of Honda's 2008 recall of this problem. When an independent car repair shop told me of the problem in 2012 I then went to a local Honda dealer to report the problem. Honda said that it was past the window of time in which Honda would restore the paint job at their expense. I told them that I did not receive a recall notice. They did not care.

Took our Honda Odyssey van in for service with the local Honda dealer. Was told that we had broken motor mounts. Dealer service center said that this is a common problem for this year/make/model and was a real risk to our safety if we didn't get it fixed. If it is such a risk, why is there not a recall? from looking at the number of complaints on this site, there are so many is it to numerous to count them all.

There was no incident. My complaint is about the paint peeling significantly on my navy blue minivan. Got an estimate for out of pocket repainting and was quoted $800. 00 just for the hood. Paint is peeling in more places. Decided to check online to see if this was a common occurrence and it is. I have owned the van for over 9 years and never received any recall or reimbursement for paint peeling problem.

Paint is peeling over the whole body of the car.
