Driveshaft Problems of Honda Odyssey

Autopark Honda replaced drive shafts because there was a popping sound coming while slow turns. I drove away and within 2 miles, all hell broke loose. There was a tremendous amount of metallic noise coming from the car and I nearly lost total control of the car. I could break I think. But steering and engine power were dangerously affected. Me and my kids would have been killed. I suspect the parts used were not of proper quality or the workmanship was poor. I can't decide. The dealership has been perfect with other repairs so I doubt it could have been workmanship but it is hard for me to say. People make mistakes.

My husband and I bought a used 2001 Odyssey with 104,000 miles. Within a month the transmission began to slip. We looked on line and saw that the transmission for this year was on recall. We took it to the dealership who informed us that we had exceeded the recall limit by 3000 miles (we were then at 118,000). We could have a rebuilt transmission installed for $4000. We told them that was insane considering it was only a 3000 mile discrepancy for the recall. . . . . They shrugged. We took it to aamco, who rebuilt it for $2600, a substantial savings. However, here we are, two years later and it goes again. . . . Suddenly! I was driving in tampa rush hour traffic with my two children in the car, when my tcs light comes on, and my d4 starts flashing. I felt the transmission drop when I pulled to a stop at the light. When I began to go again, it barely crawled, though registering 2500 rpm. I stopped at an auto parts store, whose computer read various codes: driveshaft, O2 sensor, solenoid, and two others which he said were transmission related. So I begin to drive the car to aamco which is 1 mile away. I had to make a u-turn, and two lefts with the car barely moving with both of my children in the car. I get to aamco, and he tells me that I passed my warranty with him 7000 miles ago and I'm out of luck. So I dangerously chug this thing and my children home, hoping we make it. We did, but now what?.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Odyssey. While driving at any speed, the vehicle loses power. When the power shuts off and the vehicle stalls, the contact hears a loud clanking noise under the driver's seat. The vehicle restarts after a couple of attempts are made and was taken to the dealer in 2008; however, they could not locate the failure after the first attempt. On the second attempt, they replaced a sensor in the drive train. A year later, the failure recurred. The contact scheduled an appointment to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The failure mileage was 29,000 and current mileage was 30,000.

While driving at 70mph on interstate 65 near montgomery, alabama there was a sudden transmission failure in our 2002 Honda Odyssey resulting in the front wheels locking up and the vehicle skidding to a halt. The vehicle came to rest in the left lane of the interstate. We exited the vehicle quickly and called 911. A couple of squad cars responded within a few minutes. We could not disengage the transmission so were unable to push the vehicle to a safe place. There were some close calls but no accidents from other vehicles trying to avoid our stranded minivan. Eventually got the vehicle towed to a Honda dealership in montgomery (mcconnell) where we were told that the transmission was indeed locked up and would need to be replaced along with both drive shafts and both front tires. We contacted american Honda to see if they would cover the cost of repairs because (in our view) this is a defective transmission. Was initially told no because our mileage of 100594 was outside the warranty and our 2002 model year was not covered under the extended transmission warranty give to model years ending in 2001. After a week of haggling american Honda did not admit to this being a defect but did agree to cover 80% of the repair cost through goodwill. Our final bill was $1301. 71 for a remanufactured transmission, 2 new drive shafts and 2 new tires.
