The warning indicators had also flashed for the gauge and engine. The dealer martin main line Honda, 123 e lancaster Ave, ardmore, PA 19003, 1-(610) 649-5600 was notified of the failure however they indicated that with no dtc, they had been unable to replicate and diagnose the failure so it recurred with no remedy from the dealer.

I was driving down the highway at about 70 mph when the van suddenly quit pulling. It felt like it had gone into neutral, because the engine would rev but the van kept slowing down. I was lucky enough to have enough momentum to allow me to pull onto the shoulder of the highway. This could have ended very bad. I had 3 young children in the van, as we were going to spend the thanksgiving holiday with family. So we were several hours from home and no way to get to our family or back to our house. It was a scary ordeal for my and my children. When we finally got the van towed home and to a shop, we were told we were going to have to replace the transmission. We were also told this particular make/model/year is notorious for having the transmission go out. I contacted american Honda this afternoon. I was told they could not help me with any cost of a replacement transmission. I was also told my complaint stopped with the customer service rep I was speaking with, but my claim is available to the engineers in case they want to see if my make/model/year has had any customer complaints filed. I asked him how they would even know to look for complaints if they weren't made aware of any complaints. All in all, I have a claim number for a complaint that will go no further than the customer service representative I spoke with over the phone. Very disappointing.

The car was in drive and it didnt want go anywhere while it was in motion. Very scared for my family it was unsafe I saw Honda has a recall on the transmission but they told it isnt for my car I want to add my vehicle into that recall its not fair that my vehicle is under that but it say from models 2002-2004 and mine is a 2004 so it should be under that.
2004 Honda Odyssey. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle transmission problems. The consumer stated the transmission went out for the second time, in less than three years.
The day after coming home from an 800 mile road trip my wife was driving the van locally when the transmission started to act up. The van was not shifting smoothly from 2nd to 3rd gear, engine revving to over 4000 rpm. Van was having problems engaging and had to pull over to side of road. Had car towed to local Honda dealer and we were told we needed a new transmission at a cost of $4,800. We bought Honda for reliability and were very surprised transmission would need replacing at 148,000 miles. Also had both electronic side doors replaced in 2012, both doors stopped working within the same month.
I was driving to school, and the transmission was acting funny. I drove it approximately 30 miles to our dealership. Luckily I made it. The highest speed I could go was almost 40mph. Pulled into the dealership at 8:30a. M. And waited. Was given the news that it was the transmission, and it was almost $6,000. 00 to replace. They had me. Didn't know what to do. . . And had to pick up kids at school at 3;30p. M. Ended up sinking $40,000. 00 into a new 2014 Odyssey. Boy do I feel taken! and then to find out there was a problem with Honda transmissions from 1999. I do question the transmission of the one I am driving now. . . . It shifts funny. My 2004 also always had a fuel smell. Was concerned at times of starting it. We also paid to have the dash lights fixed. . . . At our expense. Didn't know there was a recall on that either. . . . . . Darn those dealerships!!! they got us on the transmission too!!.
When parked I tried to start it and it did not start. The mechanic stated that transmission was damaged by particles in it or over heating. Needs a replacement at $4400. Honda was contacted but they offered no help. My VIN is just slightly outside the transmission defect group 5fnrl18. . 4b000001 to 5frnl18. . 4b051620 (Honda recall service bulletin 04-021). "d" light either flashing or off. . . Even after trans flush. Same symptoms as recalled Hondas. I believe that the recall should have been a larger group. . . Ie including my van and maybe it would still be working today if it was recalled!.
Driving on the freeway and the internal brake system light come on indicating that that was any back brake lights, then while driving the vehicle stop going forward light the transmission went into neutral and then the tcs indicator and the engine light come on and then the 2004 Odyssey stopped moving without any indication at all as I was driving in high traffic on a California freeway at approximately 7:30am on my way to work. I am told that there was a recall on these models and that I would cost me over $3,200. 00 out of picket to fix and then, (I was told to take the vehicle to Honda for recall repairs, because it is still under the recall static and Honda has never fixed this problem. At the time I bought this vehicle from the dealer I wasn't told that there was a recall on these Odyssey's and there wasn't any defeats reported on the vehicle fix sheets,.
I was driving my 2004 Honda Odyssey on the highway when all transmission gears stopped working. I am the original owner and the Odyssey was very well maintained. It costs $4000 to rebuild the transmission and $500 for a rental vehicle. Honda Odyssey stinks!!!.
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.
The transmission on my 2004 Honda Odyssey failed. I was almost rear-ended, before I could pull over to the side.
This is in addition to my earlier complain---NHTSA id number: 10499643-- indication of engine trouble did not give any advance information. Indication must be an alarm for the driver so that he will take corrective actions. In my case there was no time available. It worked as failure indication only. All vehicle manufacturers be informed that alarm (trouble)indication should be a pre-failure alarm and should give some time to take corrective actions. Hope you will take up the issue with manufacturers.
Was driving my "2004 Honda Odyssey" . I started loosing speed control. At times it failed to start after stopping. And again the same thing. . . . . And now I hear clicking and clicking and than my car just comes to a screetching stop. . . . . I see my engine light on and I see my tcs light come on. I reached auto repairer nearby. Cost me $ 566 but failed again within 0ne hour and now advises to replace power train at $3500 additionally???? my certified additional coverage is 100000 miles or 7 years which expired on 08/05/2011. Time-limit of 7 years with the guarantee is unfavorable to drivers with less mileage. I am unemployed . I need Honda to do the recall on its trannys ASAP. . . . I could have met with accident.
Was driving my "2004 Honda Odyssey" . I noticed my transmission kinda not wanting to change gears. And as time go by it changes fins. And than. "boom" I feels like some one hit me from behind. But when I look no one was there. . . . . And again the same thing. . . . . And now I hear clicking and clicking and than my car just comes to a screeching stop. . . . . I see my engine light on and I see my tcs light come on. I call a tow. And before they arrive. I try and start and go and it works. . . . . . I need Honda to do the recall on its trannys ASAP. . . . I could have died and soo could have my children that was in the van. . . .
Transmission burned up while driving home for the holidays. Merry christmas Honda.
Honda Odyssey has transmission issues. They had a class action law suit against them and I had the appropriate warranty work done on it. It has now gone completely out. I'm under on the mileage for the extended warranty work, but over on the age. If you look on the internet, this is happening to a lot of people. Honda either didn't fix the transmission issues or created new ones with the recall. Now the fix is a $5000 one. Honda should be liable to fix this or a large part of it.
