I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey that had a transmission failure at approximately 125,000 miles. Initial symptoms included RPM "stuttering" around 40 miles an hour, like the transmission was trying to downshift. Soon after, the transmission would slip into neutral while driving along, or after stopping, the transmission would fail to engage and the engine would just rev.
Took it to my local independent mechanic who diagnosed the problem as "internal transmission failure". Cost $4,500 to replace with a Jasper transmission.
Opened a case with Honda of America. They were unwilling to provide any reimbursement, due to the fact that I am not the original owner, and all servicing of the vehicle did not take place at a dealership. They offered me $200 in dealer credit, as I own two Hondas.
Unimpressed with the reliability of the 2005 Honda Odyssey, and would not recommend ownership of one.
