1 Transmission Gear Indicator problem

Failure Date: 09/17/2013

Transmission slips in 2nd gear with a slight load I. E. Going up a slight hill. If you accelerate the slipping/shudder goes away. Honda was not able to give me specific information as to the VIN numbers affected by their 2004 transmission recall but could only tell me my VIN was not one of them. There are many complaints about the second gear slipping failure when I searched online, the information I read stated that the issue was with oil flow to the second gear clutch assembly. It seems the 2004 recall should have included more VIN numbers. My vehicle has high mileage now and is outside Honda's assistance parameters but if there had been a recall maybe my transmission would not have failed.

2 Transmission Gear Indicator problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2012

Car stopped going into gear check engine light came on d started flashing and tcs light came on car would keep hesitating into gear and finally just would not move. Typical problem for Honda Odyssey as I just found out by class action suit and many complaints on line. But when I call Honda they say this car has never been recalled for any transmission defects. Picture that it is amazing how many problems they have had and continue to have but they do a good job keeping it quiet. This is very dangerous and I am sure expensive problem for them that is why they wont admit to any defects. Since this is costing me 3500 to get a jasper transmission with 3 year warranty. Will not buy a Honda again.
