2004 Honda Odyssey transmission failure.
I purchased a new 2004 Honda Odyssey in the fall of 2003. About a year later, there was a recall & the transmission was replaced with a new one. In the fall of 2009, the transmission failed & was rebuilt for $2800 through a independent shop. I had contacted the Honda service department, but they would not give me a break on the price which was about 1k more. In March of 2011 the transmission failed again & had to be rebuilt for $2100. Although out of warrenty, the shop gave me a break on the labor charge. I bought a Honda because of the reputation for quality. However, due to this ongoing transmission problem, I will not buy another Honda.

Driving with family on busy highway on mother's day 2010. Complete transmission failure on our 2004 Honda Odyssey minivan. Honda refuses to admit a problem even though they issued a recall for one particular year in the early 2000's. Luckily we were not involved in an accident and were able to guide the car off the road. Total repairs were well over $3,000. Honda started using a different transmission recently in the Odyssey model. This should be investigated fully as the internet is littered with reports of similar transmission problems.

During the week of March 1-5, 2010, my Honda Odyssey was showing signs of slippage when going from one gear to other, however the problem was transient. I was on vacation at deep creek lake, maryland in the weekend of March 5-7 and was driving back from there on March 7 afternoon. I was on cruise at 55 miles per hour on us 219n, when coming over a small hill, the car suddenly violently shook and was revving up (rpm very high) trying to maintain speed of 55 mph and was unable to do so. I braked and got the car under control and without knowing much merged on I-70e headed towards home at baltimore, MD. Driving for about 100 miles, I took exit at hagerstown, MD to take gas. After taking gas, I wanted to head back to the highway but unable to continue that much further. The car would not move pressing on the gas pedal and finally had to call aaa towing to tow the car. Anyway, it is with hagerstown Honda and the diagnosis is transmission failure and I need to shell out 3500k from my pocket. Transmission failure for a 2004 Odyssey at 122k miles is absolutely unacceptable and american Honda refusing to do anything to help me out. This car is apparently also not included in the recall list the Honda had earlier this decade on some the Odyssey models for the transmission problem. I think this needs to be investigated and recall expanded.
