Odyssey ES

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

The van shudders when shifting at low speeds (20-25 MPH), especially when on a slight incline without applying much pressure to the gas pedal. I've had it into the dealer several times, all to no avail. The best they can come up with is that it's shifting into the next higher gear too soon. It shakes the entire van and is quite annoying.

Odyssey LX 3.2L V6

I've read some of the comments on the transmission issues. There is a recall from Honda on this. How can you make the dealership honor this recall? It seems no one should be paying for this seeing that the result could cause a crash when locking up. Look up re-calls. If they are taking money from you they are also probably filling for the re-call and getting paid from Honda as well. These dealerships are such scammers.

Odyssey LX 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 144,158 miles

I own a 2002 Honda Odyssey and have had hesitation shifting form 2nd to 3rd for about 8 months (8500km) and just recently have had a chk engine light and traction control lights on had it scanned at shop and have found out that it was going to cost me over 3k to rebuild the trains. Also found out that it is a reoccurring problem. I haven't got it repaired yet and am wondering if anyone out there have found any assistance from Honda or a permanent fix to this problem (I have no warr.)

Odyssey EX-L DVD

  • Automatic transmission
  • 96,500 miles

My 2002 Honda Odyssey had its original transmission replaced at 60,000 miles or so. The replacement has shifted roughly ever since. It will shake the van when upshifting at slow speeds (especially in traffic jams). I have taken it to dealer several times and they say they cannot duplicate issue. I am nearing the end of my extended warranty and I want this fixed!!
I have given it to the dealership again and told them this time to keep it until they find the problem.
