Automatic Transmission Gear Indicator Problems of Honda Odyssey

My 2003 Honda Odyssey(automatic transmission) has been slipping gears and having trouble shifting into gears when accelerating or driving in traffic jam. On February 28, 2010 after driving some 40 miles on the highway and exited on a ramp, the transmission locked when the car was at a complete stop at a stop sign on the ramp. Once the transmission locked, the engine died. Then I started the car numerous times and each time the engine started when in parking or in neutral. However, when I shifted to drive or d1, d2 or to rear, the engine always shut off. Luckily, after a dozen times or so, I got lucky to put the car into gear, and slowly drove home, the car jerking and engine on the brink of shutting off as I drove some 3 miles back home at 20 mph. The next day, March 1st I could put the car into gear at all. Each and every time I shifted from either park or neutral to drive or rear the engine shut off. I towed the car to carrs Honda in chicago. Dealer checked and performed a recall on the second gear by installing an oil jet kit. Dealer said my transmission has internal failure and said that this failure was not related to the recall of the second gear. How convenient! I did contact Honda at their corporate office in CA and explained what happened but since dealer said that my car is not covered by the provisions of the recall, then I could not get any financial help from Honda. I managed to get picture copies of the second gear from my dealer and wanted to get pictures of the same 2nd gear at a different transmission shop. However, Honda made it clear that under no circumstances it will accept pictures made by non-Honda dealer. There were no codes to be found. I took my car to a transmission center and had my transmission rebuilt. Now I do drive the car and so far it seems fine. The transmission specialist replaced all clutches, torque converter, linear solenoids, shorted ground wire in prndl circuit, etc. It cost me but I needed the car. Please help!!!.

The contact owns a 1998 Honda Odyssey. The engine would randomly shut off in local streets or while driving low speeds, such as 25 mph. The contact has not taken the vehicle to the dealer because she could not duplicate the failure. In one instance, the contact applied the parking brake, placed the vehicle in park, removed the key from the ignition, and exited the vehicle. The vehicle suddenly rolled backwards with her daughter inside the passenger compartment. The contact jumped back in the vehicle and slammed on the brakes. She later realized that even when the gear was placed in reverse, the key was still able to be removed from the ignition. She found a recall on the NHTSA website and called the manufacturer; however, they stated that the vehicle was not included. The recall number was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 90,150.

- while driving a 2003 Honda Odyssey at a speed of 50-55 mph on the highway, the vehicle briefly shifted into reverse prior to going into the next gear. The contact brought the vehicle to a dealership that same night of the incident on 01/04/06, and they stated that the transmission had failed and needed to replace. The contact is concern because in April of 2006 he brought the vehicle into his local dealership for NHTSA campaign id number : 04v176000( power train: automatic transmission), and he feels that the dealership didn't inspect the vehicle properly to identify if any of the transmission gears were experiencing discoloration due to overheating.

While driving down a hill and turning right vehicle shifted out of gears on its own. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, but mechanic could not duplicate the problem.

There was a recall on the transmission. When dealer inspected the vehicle he advised the owner the need for a new transmission for which the owner would have to pay to have it installed. . Owner was aware of the fact that there was a recall and didn't feel that she should pay for anything concerning the recall.
