Transmission slipped out of gear (detected with high rpm and engine sound) while driving on busy street. Engine and tcs dashboard lights came on. Wife was driving with children in the van at the time. With great difficulty, she was able to coast the van into a parking lot. This happened one other time in a parking lot but no indicator lights came on and dealer couldn't replicate. Van currently at dealership to have transmission replaced. I consider this a severe safety concern and given the number of complaints in various forums regarding this model/year, I think a mandatory recall would be the prudent thing to do before injury or death occurs.
While driving, the automatic transmission slipped out of gear. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who acknowledged that there was a problem with the transmission. The consumer was concerned that this was a manufacturing defect and did not want to pay for any repairs to be done.
Transmission problems - engine revs and doesn't get into gear, if driving 35-45 slips out of gear, traction control system light sometimes goes on as a result, malfunction light goes on. This is a serious hazard. You have to take your foot off the gas and pull off the road, then reenter. In December, dealer couldn't replicate claimed no prob. Subsequent to visit, local lube place said trans fluid was low, then replaced it. Still had same issues, took back to Honda dealer again and now they are blaming the lube place for not tightening the trans fluid screw. However, this issue was identified to them prior to this happening. We happened to pay for an extended warranty. Car has 45k miles. I have complained to Honda customer relations and after being referred to Honda care (warranty dept) and being told well they couldn't "validate" the issue in December so you have to go to the lube place. Regardless of whether or not they can duplicate it - it happens and it's happened to dozens if not hundreds of other 2002 Odyssey owners. I called back to Honda customer relations and they are "monitoring" it now with the dealer to see if new fluid helps. With the volume of complaints on mycarstats. Com and various other web sites stating the same thing - I am even more aggravated. Honda can't pretend they don't know about this issue. What's taking them so long to recall?.
While starting and driving the transmission slips out of gear. There seems to be no pattern. Judging from the number of post on the internet this problem is quite widespread.
Transmission slipping out of gear on cold starts driving between 1-40 mph or coming to a stop. Vehicle lunges forward once the transmission slips back into gear. Mr.
