Odyssey EX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 150,000 miles

I heard about the transmission problem with Odyssey from a friend recently. Wish I had known about this, as I chose not to spend the money for repair and donated to charity.
I have to believe that the dealer knew about this problem yet choose not to tell me. The 2001 Odyssey was my 5th Honda, and I was extremely disappointed that it didn't last 200k miles like my previous 4 did.
If anyone decides to sue Honda, let me know. Won't buy another Honda nor will I give them any positive words.

Odyssey EX 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 109,000 miles

This vehicle was maintained to Honda's recommendations, but still had a transmission failure at 109000 miles. Transmissions shop said they had 6 Odysseys in 6 weeks, all the same problem. A modern automatic should last longer than this. Replaced vehicle with a different brand since it qualified for Clunker money. Find out, thanks to this site, that Honda has a lot of problems with automatic transmissions. Wish I had checked this site BEFORE replacing timing belt and doing the other items listed on maintenance schedule. Tell your friends with Odysseys to dump them before this happens-- because it probably will.

I am in seguin,tx. i am haveing the same issues with my odessy. it is 2001 and i was told the recall end oct of last year so i am outa luck. however i am seriosly considering sueing honda about this issue because they knew they were going to have this issue and continued to produce this tranny. until then i have decided to spend the extra time and bucks to convert my van to a 6speed manual.. the acura tl type s or aspec model both have beefed up manual transmission that bolt right to the motor in our vans. i will be using the pedal assembly out of the same car. just have to modify the dash to accommodate the shifter. i will post as i go. starting it the first of the year. 2010.
