Transmission Noise Problems of Honda Odyssey - part 2

Vehicle drove normally in the morning then in the afternoon made a huge grinding, banging noise in reverse. Transmission failure identified by the dealer. This is 2nd failure of transmission since we purchased the vehicle new from Honda. Transmission was replaced at Honda's cost just 18 months ago. Clearly refurbished transmissions are just as defective as the originals. In fact this one didn't last as long as the original. The transmission is a lemon!!.

2002 Honda Odyssey transmission failed leaving us stranded on 118 fwy. This was with only 37800 miles on vehicle. This is a dangerous situation these Honda automatic transmissions fail at very low mileages often locking up with the car being immobile in traffic. Honda selling dealer replaced trans. At no cost even though it was over warranty. (they know they have a faulty product) the second trans. Went for 64000 miles before it quit with howling noises and oil leaking out of the output left shaft seal. Honda is trying to cover this up with treating case individually and trying to get each customer to foot the repair bill unless persuaded to something about it.

Transmission failure:sluggish start. Engine on high revs when slowing down and hears a loud noise before coming into a stop.

Early transmission failure seems to be a problem with this car. 48000 miles and transmission started making loud noises under load. Dealer knew immediately what was wrong. Have since found out that this is a huge problem and Honda is quietly replacing the units even out of warranty in some cases to avoid a recall. They replace the unit with a re manufactured unit with the identical problem. We are now stuck with a van that is like a ticking time bomb- it will fail again. Honda should be required to address this publicly. If I had know the car had a flaw in the transmission design, I would not have purchased.

Transmission loud noise - it is one of symptoms of transmission problem that indicated in the 2000-2001 Odyssey recall notice. Honda should extend the warrenty to 1999 model as well.

At 54,700 miles (July 2001) the car made a clunking noise when put into gear. Tcs light and check engine light came on. Service couldnot reproduce clunking problem. Since the transmission was out of warrenty I kept driving making sure to have regular maintenance. It continued to "rev" when starting to move or excellerating quickly. Tcs light and check engine light came on again at 100,000 (Dec 2002). I questioned them again about the transmission but was told that it was a catalytic converter/ engine control system. ( out of stock until February). Tcs and check engine lights again in June 2003 at 117,900. Code showed a transmission po740. Transmission "smelled burned. " sept. 2003 tcs and check engine light indicate trainsmission needs replacing. The dealer nor manufacturer had told me that the warrenty had been extended to 100,000. This transmission problem in the Odyssey, and other Hondas, is so wide spread that I can't believe nothing is being done for the consumer. My cousin in missouri owns a 1999 Odyssey and she has had to replace both the trainsmission and catalytic convertor as well. A pretty big coincidence. I could name other parts we have both replaced. Could it be that some parts of the Odyssey are lemons? calling Honda coporoate is a joke. They put you on hold, have a good laugh and then tell you they can't do anything because the car is over the mileage limit. They should be made to do the right thing. An investigation might change this arrogant company.

At approximately 6,000 the vehicle's transmission began to emit a loud grinding noise while in fourth gear traveling at 50 miles per hour and above. When taken to the dealereship's service department, I was told they could find no noise. The noise persisted and became louder. When taken to the dealership the second time and pointed out the noise during a test drive with service personnel, the dealership replaced the transmission.

When in reverse, there was an occasional clunking noise. Transmission was replaced to corrrect problelm.

When it is in 4th gear - 50 mph, engine drops to 1500 rpm and noise begins. It sounds like muffled valve clattering. Honda dealership claims that it's designed that way, and I confirmed that other van has same noise. There is part(s) in transmission that is failing on most van. The noise will get louder - possibility of catastrophic failure on the road, a major safety issue!!!!( dot number: tire size: p215/65r16 ).

When putting car in reverse it made a popping noise like it was running over something. Took vehicle to dealer, and they said it was the transmission, consumer has been waiting since March 14th for transmission.

Transmission noise, most pronounced at 1500 rpm and 50 - 55 mph, sounds like droning, rattling, chattering and dieseling.

Initally told by dealer that noise was from tail pipe hitting trailer hitch. I am still concerned after reading about the same transmission noise from others.
