To whom it may concern:i received a letter in the mail from the honda automobile division about the recall on airbags for 2004 odysseys, and i contacted the jeffrey honda dealer, in roseville, michigan. A customer representative said they would get back to me about this because they were not aware of this, but it has been nearly a month and no one has gotten back to me. Are the airbags okay, or do we still need to get them fixed? if we do have to get them fixed, when will the honda dealers know about this? please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you in advance!

2004 honda odyssey ex. Consumer writes in regards to airbag safety recalls. *ld
I'm having trouble with honda over my srs unit. I was told in january (while i was getting an airbag recall installed) that my srs unit was faulty and needed to be replaced for $1200. I waited for my tax return and now there's a brand new recall on the srs unit but those parts won't be available for several months. But in the mean time... My srs unit is faulty. They told me in january that in the event of a crash my airbags would not be deployed and my seatbelts wouldn't tighten or anything! so i took it to the dealership who offered me a rental until they had a chance to look into it (very nice) but now they are saying they cannot offer a rental until the part comes in, they want to run a diagnostic test on my dollar ($115 to be precise) because he told me even if the recalled part was installed my srs light wouldn't turn off-- that it was 'most likely something else'. I am so disappointed that honda wouldn't take my situation more seriously, this seems like a huge liability issue for them. I would expect them to at least replace my faulty srs with another current model that's not faulty until the part comes in... But i have to pay for even the diagnostics test? i'm baffled.
I have received many notices about several different recals

I've been a loyal honda customer for 20 years but will never purchase a vehicle again from hennessey honda. We received a recall saying my airbags can arbitrarily deploy. With 2 little children, this is disturbing to me. I call saturday morning right after i get notice (hennessey honda) i'm told to call monday through friday and no one can help me on the weekend. I state that i work and that is difficult to do and don't they a service center open on the weekends to fix it and she said no. I reiterate that someone needs to inform me if the replacement part is available and there's a defective potentially harmful airbag in my car. That's when things take a turn for the worse. Ed miller gets on the phone from the service center and says they refuse to fix it on the weekend. I state i work and have 2 small children in which i'm concerned about their safety and that my job is not flexible and i can't take off, can't they please fix it on the weekend. We are about to take a long trip too! he rudely and condensendingly says a lot of our clients have kids and jobs and are still able to do it during the week, if you can't then to find another delarship (the next is over an hour away) i say in tears at this point, can i please speak to your manager. He proceeds to lie and say have absoultely no manager. I question the validity of that and he reiterates they have no service manager and no dealership manager. I've honestly never been treated so bad by someone in my entire life. I don't even know what to say, i'm honestly in shock, i don't know what's wrong with this guy but that was the meanest i've ever been treated. We brought a brand new suv from this dealership a year ago and always use them for service. To talk to anyone like that is so awful.they are refusing to fix it during hours i'm not at work, doesnt that violate some safety laws?????

I received a letter from honda automobile division informing me of the recall, and stating in the letter "free rental cars are available to the vehicle owner for the day of the recall repair, or longer if a replacement part is temporarily unavailable."i called a local honda dealer to arrange the recall repair and was informed they don't offer the free rental car service. I called honda automobile division to enquirer about this service. They took my information and will have an answer for me within 24-48 hours i can expect a callback with an authorization service. The way the letter is worded implies a free rental is available, no where in the letter does it stipulate upon dealer approval, or any fine print indicating any stipulations around the free car rental. From the letter, i expect a loaner while repairs are performed, yet honda has to authorize this. The dealer informed me to bring the letter in with me but i can't take the time to travel there in case i'll be denied a rental. My job requires i travel periodically, and if such arises while my vehicle is being repaired under the recall, i will need a loaner. I will be happy to provide a scan of the letter if needed but unfortunately we don't have a scanner at work.

During the summer of 2012 i was parked facing the sun.when i started my car the srs (air bag warning) light illuminated.as i drove the 3 miles to my home the light stayed on.within the next two weeks the same thing happened about two times.honda service could not find any code in the car's computer indicating that there was a problem.again during the summer of 2014 the same thing happened once.i think this srs light illumination may be an indication that the air bag is defective.i live in and bought the car in virginia.the recent takata air bag recall is a regional recall and does not include virginia.however, one of the fatalities caused by this defect occurred in virginia in december.so hot and humid weather is not the only cause of the air bag defect.i believe my honda odyssey's air bags are defective and should be recalled.

I have a complaint about the way honda officials and the honda dealership have been handing my requests to have my airbags replaced.my car has not been involved in an accident; however, in order to send this complaint to you i had to enter an accident date.i have been trying since march 2014 to get the dealer to replace the air bags in my 2004 honda odyssey.according to a honda official at 1-800-999-1009 and the official honda website, both my driver and front passenger airbags are affected to by recall notice.however, since march i have had several contacts with the dealership and continue to get a run around.they will not replace the bags until they prove, in diagnostic tests, to be defective. I will be charged$90 for each test they find negative.it was my understanding that all airbags from this region of the country and bearing my vin, make and model were to be replaced free of charge.i have yet to receive a paper recall notice, because according to ahonda official on 9/15/14, the delay in mailing them out is due to the lack of sufficient available replacement airbags to handle the recall notice.i have left several voice mail messages with the dealership where i purchased my vehicle, but no one has returned any of my calls.just what am i expected to do?how long must i wait to receive proper notice from honda officials?am i expected to pay for all of the diagnostic tests?if an airbag passes a diagnostic test there's no guarantee that it will not deploy at a future time with the same disastrous outcome we've been hearing about in the news.is anyone advocating on our behalf?

Beginning around nov. 23, 2012, air bag light on dashboard stayed on after its initial test (blink on and then off) once ignition turned on and engine running.over next approximately 5 months, light would intermittently come on after test and then stay on while engine running.seems to occur more more when the outside temperature is warm rather than cold.however, within the past approximately 1 month (since may 2013), light has been staying on constantly after initial test and ignition turned on.vehicle has been operating normally otherwise. I've checked all seatbelt connections and fuses and nothing abnormal found.no other dashboard lights are having problems, nor have there been any electrical or mechanical problems with the vehicle, so problem is isolated to airbag system.

I took my vehicle in to the service department to have a recall performed.they were to replace the srs electronic control unit replaced.when i took the vehicle in there were no warning lights on.after they completed the recall my srs warning light is on.the light has never been on in the 10 years that i have owned the vehicle.so as it turns out i took a car with no problems in to the dealer to have a recall performed and they returned a defective car to me.they refuse to fix whatever they did to cause the srs malfunction light to come on and stay on.
Srs light is on.dealership is charging a diagnostic fee and possibly more changes thereafter. Anything related to seat belts is supposed to have a lifetime warranty.

I did speak to a couple of reps but they never got back to me. Also, i became very frustrated because they kept telling they would get back to me and never did. Basically, i kept having to chase someone down to no avail. Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you;[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

This is about trying to get our recall fixed at hennessy honda in woodstock ga. They are not fixing the recall unless it's within 10-3 m-f and this is the only place within 40 minutes. Here what happened:i recently received a recall notice about my airbags. I live in cherokee georgia and just called my local dealer who i've had great experiences with with previous recalls and getting it fixed on the weekend. When i called this time they told us that they couldn't look up the recall on their computer and that they don't do recalls on the weekend. Afterwe explained our working schedule isn't condusive for any weekdays and that they fixed it last time. He said there is absolutely no way to fix the recall on the weekend and if they we don't like it go somewhere else. I've never had anyone tell anyone that "many people have jobs and kids and if you can't get here then that's your bad parenting." all we want to do is get a recall for a defective product, not call someone and be insulted.

I recently received a recall notice for a module in the airbag system causing it to deploy on its own. The additional problem that i am having is the " srs " light is on which as i was told by the honda mechanic that it means that the air bag might not deploy if needed . They also refused to fix the light being on because they said the 2 problems had nothing to do with each other. It would seem to me more of a safty hazzard that the air bag would not inflate when you would need it as apposed to going off by itself. They are making me bring it back another day so they can charge $115.00 diagnostic feeplus other parts what is needed.

I received a recall notice on my 2004 honda odyssey and immediately called coggin honda of orlando at the end of february 2014. At the time the service person told me that they haven't received the parts as of yet and that they will contact me. In june i called again and was given the same excuse adding that they were running behind. Last week,on october 7, 2014, i took the odyssey in for some repairs and asked about when they were going to fix the recall of the air bags on the vehicle and once again were given the excuse of running behind. At this point i have no other choice than to make this complain. The dealer has not showed me any interest on fixing the problem. What are they waiting for? are they waiting to see if i have an accident and hoping that the air bags will function properly.

I contacted a honda dealer (honda of columbia, lexington, sc 29072)for my odyssey van airbag recall on 10 nov and filed the recall repair.i asked a service rep what i needed to do when the airbag were not safe.he told me that i needed to keep driving my van at my own risk while new airbags were on order!on 31 dec, i went to the dealer and asked the status of my airbag recall fix status.they gave me the same answer that i had to drive my van at my own risk until the airbags would arrive, but did not know how long it took.this is absolutely not right!honda car owner have to keep driving at their own risks when the safety problems are caused by the company?the company must offer an alternative car for affected customers until their cars are fixed.waiting for 2 months or longer is not acceptable especially when the recall may cause a fatal result.
Honda will not warranty failed front passenger side airbags. Due to 36,000/ three year warranty expiration. A federal mandate recallon front airbags was already executed on this vehicle. Why has honda not been made to warranty all airbags systems associated with the front passenger and driver seats. Does it take serious injury or death to make the nhtsa regulate manufactures to stand behind the safety equipment in their vehicles for the life of the vehicle. I hope that my complaint along with other vehicle owner complaints about this safety issue will be addressed asap.

Check engine light came up right after a recent refuel and we pulled the vehicle on the side and checked the manual. We tightened the fuel cap but the light did not go away. We took it to the dealer to get it checked up. Upon diagnosis the deal told us that the transmission has gone bad and needs a total transmission replacement. Got a second opinion from two other auto repair shops and they confirmed what dealer said that the transmission has gone bad and needs replacement.
Corrosion within the fuel pump wiring connector and the fuel pump retaining nut was cracked / broken.customer complaint was stalling while driving, no start condition.troubleshooting procedure indicated the fuel pump wiring connector was faulty the inspection revealed that the connector was corroded apparently from moisture.this issue is certainly a safety concern considering the faulty connection can cause loss of engine power -> loss of power steering, and the faulty fuel pump nut can cause gasoline fumes to escape containment which may lead to an explosion / fire.if the connector was jiggled the fuel pump would intermittently operate and or fail.the local honda dealer refused to recognize the safety recall campaign # 04v42000 or the hondaservice bulletin #04-049, and refused to mitigate the problem without offering the option to repair the issue outside of the recall which would cost the customer $454.32 for the fuel pump repair kit in addition to service fees of at least $374.00.the vehicle was initially towed-in and presented for service on june of 2018.the honda dealer is providing wiring harness, retaining nut and gasket at a cost to the customer.
Original owner of this vehicle and i've had to replace the transmission twice, the a/c system 3 times and starter. Numerous electrical problems with the doors and windows and recently had to replace the ignition switch that seized one afternoon.all service intervals have been followed as with my other vehicles that have had tires and fluid changes with no other fixes.the paint continues to flake off even after honda of concord, nc repainted half of the vehicle. 2 years ago. Vehicle has left my wife stranded on dozens of occasions along with the vehicle's 9th battery since 2004.selling this vehicle is not an option but replacing it is.it will not be replaced with another honda product ever and i caution anyone who is ever in the market for one of these vans to avoid them at all cost. The dealerships have been nothing but a nightmare to work with and would not cover any of the repairs i listed above.they are junk.
My husband went to the store, came back for my 3 year old and i. Turned the car off and came inside for 10 mins, when we came out to leave, the entire car was filled with smoke and fire. The fire department believes it was the seat motor that malfunctioned.
After the sliding door on the driver side stopped working, we was still able to switch off the switch and open/close it manually a few times. The following morning trying to do the same thing it only opened halfway and then wouldnt latch closed as i tried the second time to get it to latch closed the whole door just fell off track. Luckily it happened sitting in my moms driveway.i would hate to have seen what would had happened had i been driving when it came off since my 4 year olds seat is right there.
2004 honda odyssey van. The ignition switch and turn signal switch fail to operate correctly. The turn signal switch assembly had to be replaced by the local dealership because the relay switch in the steering column would begin to activate while driving producing an electric odor.the turn signal relay switch was replaced at approx 110,000 miles. The ignition switch is now being replaced because the ignition key cannot be inserted to start the car routinely without being manipulated.when this car was relatively new and under warranty the fan switch had to be replaced. The car now has 150,000 miles.my concern is that the electrical components in the steering column are defective and that the turn signal relay switch had the potential to burn; and the ignition switch could fail during operation of the car. The ignition switch is a defective part, or the part is from an a prior recall of 1999 to 2003 ignition switch's recalled by honda that were used in later year models. Potentially, the 2004 models should have been included in any recalls of the ignition switches.

I own 04 honda odyssey and found the same problem as described in the recall for multiple 2003-2004 honda models. You can remove the ignition key without shifting to park. The van started rolling, i was pushed by it and injured my knee as i was trying to get in and stop the car. The car hit the rails resulting in minor damage. I tested this problem and it happens all the time, you can remove the key without any effort while the car is still in drive. Why honda odyssey is not a part of the recall issued for honda element and few other honda models? handa odyssey 2004 has the same problem as described here: http://autos.aol.com/cars-honda-element-2004/recalls/summary:honda is recalling certain model year 2003 honda accord, civic two and four door, and model year 2003-2004 honda element vehicles. The interlock lever of the ignition switch may unexpectedly deform, which can allow the interlock function of a vehicle with an automatic transmission to be defeated.consequences:removal of the ignition key when the gear selector of a vehicle with an automatic transmission has not been shifted to the park position can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.remedy:dealers will remove the original interlock pin and lever within the ignition switch, and replace them with new, designed components. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on october 7, 2010. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.this is very dangerous problem, i drive kids and my disabled mother in my van, someone can get injured. I have two more older honda crv cars and they don"t have this problem, only honda odyssey has this issue.

We've had cars much older than this and have never experienced this problem!if it's "not uncommon" in honda odysseys, i think it should be investigated. Perhaps another recall from honda is due.

Unsure of exact date this first started occurring, but certainly within the last 12 months. We are able to turn the ignition to the off position and remove the key from the ignition while the vehicle is still engaged in gears other than park (d, n, r) . Typically happens when we pull into a parking place or driveway. Depending on vehicle orientation, car will start to roll if we do not engage parking brake. Several close calls, fortunately no roll-aways, accidents or injuries. Now having problems with the key fitting into the ignition and starting the vehicle. Almost as if the entire ignition / interlock system is wearing out, very loose tolerances, as if the ignition lock cylinders are not lined up any more.
The key would frequently fall out of the lock, or get stuck in the lock. A recall was issued for the interlock lever in the ignition switch.we were unable to immediately bring our vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair because it was our sole source of transportation. While i was away in california attending my aunt's memorial, the key to the vehicle failed to function whether in park or otherwise. The tow truck driver broke the key off in the lock trying to get the vehicle into neutral, because the switch would not properly release the key. The vehicle was brought to the dealer to apply the recall repair to the interlock lever *and any other necessary part of the ignition switch* per the recall notice. After replacing the ignition switch, the dealer and honda corporate decided that this was not a recall issue and refused to accept responsibility for any part of the repair cost, even though the notice clearly states that repairs to the interlock lever and *any necessary part of the ignition switch* should be covered at no cost. [xxx] in the case management division of american honda corporate (he refused to give me his last name, but indicated that he was the only [xxx] in that division) and [xxx] at the local dealership, crown honda of greensboro, both refused to acknowledge any responsibility for this repair and forced us to pay full price for the repair in order to release my van. The recall notice clearly states that not only the faulty interlock lever but any necessary part of the ignition switch would be replaced at no cost.it doesn't matter whether there were other issues with the ignition switch.it was still specifically stated in the recall notice that this would be covered at no cost.apparently, honda does not feel that it has to honor the recall notice if there are any other minor mechanical issues existing in the ignition assembly.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The key can be removed from the ignition without being in park.

I have brought my honda odyssey to the dealer at least three times since purchased less than one year ago. Each time i asked them to look at the air conditioning system. I told them it made a "clunk" noise at start up. It was so loud, i thought it was the transmission. The first time, they told me they told me they could not reproduce the problem. The second time, they told me it was "normal" and gave me an internal copy of "a/c 'clunlk' noise on years 1999-2001" mechanical problem sheet. Hello!!! i bought a 2004 model odyssey!!. I called, complained, and got nowhere. I recieved another recall notice, and asked them again to look at the a/c "clunk" noise. I told them it was also happing when the heater was on, not just the a/c. Of course, they told me they could not find anything wrong.i have researched this problem. In the 1999-2001 odyssey model they had a "clunk" noise problem acknowledged by you. I do not see it for years 2003-04. However, i do have this problem and feel i have been sold a defective product.on one account, they did acknowledge the problem, but tried to convince me it was a "defect" from 1999-2001. I find this unexceptable.

Had to pull into service shop and drive until the car could be safely placed in park, and had to shut off the engine. Was told the electronic throttle position sensor (part #047211) would have to be ordered from honda and replaced. The car was available for pick up on tuesday 12/20/2011.on wednesday, 12/21/2011, while traveling east on the new york state thruway the car began to accelerate again above the speed limit without stepping on the gas. The cruise control was not on. The car continued to accelerate after depressing the brakes. I had to pull to the side of the road and into a service station. Continued to drive around parking lot until i could put the car in neutral and, again, shut the engine off. Even when car was turned back on the engine accelerated.the car is currently at a certified honda repair shop in yorkville, n.y. Being evaluated. They are telling us they will need to check engine and transmission mounts on the vehicle (due to being in an accident in 2009, but was reconditioned in 2010 by another honda dealer), also will check cable between throttle body and gas. Still waiting to hear if anything has been resolved.this car is the main car for our household which includes 4-year-old triplets (one has special needs). Only the operator was in the vehicle when both incidents occurred.
The srs light comes on indiscriminately. Concerned about the air bag and safety relating to it. It could happen driving or while its stationary. Secondly the yellow check engine light is constantly on. Fuel system leak according to a tech. He said it wasn't worth fixing.thirdly, the door lights and rear courtesy brake light comes on occasionally, but then goes off.
I have an 04 honda odyssey with this same problem as this recall. You can remove the ignition key without shifting to park. It has happened a few times and the van starts rolling. Since the engine is off the brakes are very hard to press. In one incident i was out of the van when it started to roll. You do not have to force it to turn to lock, there is no resistance.honda element recallselement electrical system:ignition recall ' id# 58731 recall date aug 05, 2010 part affected electrical system:ignition model affected element potential units affected 384220 get detailsrecall dateaug 05, 2010 model affected2004 honda element descriptionhonda is recalling certain model year 2003 honda accord, civic two and four door, and model year 2003-2004 honda element vehicles.

I bought a honda odyssey ex about a year ago. The back doors began opening on their own as i was driving and wouldn't close. Then the transmission started leaking oil. I paid to get a diagnostics from the honda dealer ship which cost me 235.00. They said i needed to change the entire transmission. I bought it with 64km and now it has 70km. I've paid 5,500 so far and i still owe 10,000.

About a month or so before....key would almost get stuck and not be able to start car. Then, it got stuck officially. Stuck!!!!!!!!! it will not turn,move at all. Car is locked up. Curry honda says it requires a new ignition switch. $400.00+ this cannot be the only one seeing as online searches have an incredible amount of honda odysseys requiring ignition switches.

I stopped behind a car waiting to merge from a parking lot to highway 193.the car ahead pulled out a little.then apparently changing his mind, he backed up into me.i had not pulled forward, but he still totaled my car.surprisingly, my airbags did not inflate.the collision bent my hood, cracked the grill, broke the bumper.
Sudden loss of acceleration on the interstate mechanic looked underneath and mentioned the rear main seal on the transmission was leaking and it lost the transmission fluidonly option now is an approximate $5,000 replacement with re-manufactured transmission!!!!
Brought odyssey to dealer for recent recall. After recall repair, dealer service recommended front motor mount be replaced at a cost of over $400. I searched online and found several customers receiving similar recommendations, and one customer recommended informing nhtsa.is this a problem with hondas?
We were driving and was at a stop, when we went to go, our van wouldn't move. We shut it off then restarted it and it was ok for about a mile then started shaking a little & we could only go about 10 mph on a highway. We got home after it being off restarted it it goes into gear but won't go anywhere no warning lights came on at all we keep up on maintenance too.
During a routine oil change yesterday, my wife was informed that the front and side motor mounts were broken and needed replaced.this seemed odd since it had not been observed during previous visits and for the miles on the vehicle.after going on line, it appears there are many others having the exact same issue and that this is a quality issue with honda.i only hope that nothing serious happens to any owners of these vehicles including mine.
I did not know the motor mount was an issue on honda odyssey but i already replace one so far on my van after a month i took my van for a ignition recall and overall the van did not any problems at all after getting it back from the dealer but after a few weeks the engine keep shutting down in a low idle, no accidents so far only mad people behind me when my van stalls. Can you (nhtsa) investigate or let me know if this is a honda issue or my, one other problem is suspension is to noisy feels like leaving wheels behind i hope you take matter on all complaints before someone get hurt.
I took the van to the dealership for and oil change and its 60,000 mile check up.i was told two of the engine mounts are cracked and/or broken.about $900 to replace both of them.upon looking on the internet, it seems this is a very common problem for honda odysseys at about that mileage around that year.with so many with the problem, there should be a recall.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While driving various speeds or while parked, the engine would suddenly rev to over 5,000 rpms. The vehicle accelerated without warning.

Driving 2004 odyssey (140k miles) down i-95 in richmond (from nova) and started losing power (dropping speed with increasing rpms). Bad smell and smoke out the back led me to believe it was my catalytic converter.check engine light never came on.found a shop that replaced the cc.while replacing they noticed lots of oil under my vehicle.turns out it was transmission fluid.the shop topped off the transmission fluid (4 qts), let it run for a while, didn't see a leak, and i drove off the lot.i noticed the check engine light was still on so i returned to the auto shop.they were having trouble erasing the error code so the light would go off so they recommended i have it fixed when i returned home.i was on my way to a north carolina beach with no other problems encountered (albeit a check engine light still lit).local driving at the beach at low speeds (below 40 mph) caused no issues.the following week on my way from the nc beach to nova, the tcs light was now lit (in addition to the check engine light).within a few miles i encountered a similar situation while heading north on i-95 (as i did the week before while heading south on i-95) though not as severe (slight drop in speed with increasing rpms, bad smell with smoke out the back of the vehicle).i found out the next day about the honda odyssey transmission problem.sounds like i was lucky to get 140k out of it, though not happy to hear about the lack of responsibility taken by honda.my wife and i have been loyal honda customers since 1984 with 4 vehicles purchased.no more.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. When the contact shifted from park into the reverse position, there was a loud noise.

I purchased a honda odyssey from a local honda dealer march 2012 with 122,000 miles on it and what i was told was a brand new transmission. November 2014 i drove the car to my grandmothers house 5 hours away for thanksgiving and the day after the return trip the car began slipping gears. Honda wants $5,100 to fix it. The transmission that is in it now if they indeed put a new one in it is only 2 1/2 years old and has 47,000 miles on it!! that is ridiculous!! i paid $7,900 for a car that lasted me only 47,000 miles!!
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while at the dealer for routine maintenance, he was informed that the motor mounts would need to be replaced. The motor mounts failed again shortly after being replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
Check engine light on; honda dealer talks about transmission issue and asking it to be replaced.replacement cost: $6500i heard that many other honda odyssey owners complaints about transmission problem and it has to be addressed that honda odyssey van is having critical transmission issue built between year 1999 to 2004. Transmission became defective with no reason, so much frustrated as vehicle has hardly done 100k miles.
Engine mount is broken. Both side mount and front mount.
I had 2000 honda odyssey in 120000 mile had check engine on with code 0740 the mechanic told me is better to sale it then i buy honda odyssey 2004 after 5 months with 137000 mile have the same code and check engine on i love honda car but it seems there is a part in transmission it is not working properly can you explain to me what should i do ?
One of the engine mounts broke back in 2005 and had four more broken over the years.i currently have 2 that are broken but will not replace them due to cost and it seems this is a defect due infact to the volume of times they have broken.toyota has replaced them twice.
It seems that the engine mount issue with the honda odyssey should be looked into.after scrolling thru the pages of complaints i noticed there was a complaint on every third page.this look to be either a cash cow for local dealers or a honda defect.i have had three replaced and currently have been told that i have 2 broken again.can nhtsa protect us?please do something to help us.if you can't help would we be better off calling a congressman?
Took our honda odyssey van in for service with the local honda dealer.was told that we had broken motor mounts.dealer service center said that this is a common problem for this year/make/model and was a real risk to our safety if we didn't get it fixed.if it is such a risk, why is there not a recall?from looking at the number of complaints on this site, there are so many is it to numerous to count them all.
5/6/14 took my vehicle into the local service station for diagnosis of clunking engine noise.had to pay $1400 to replace both motor mounts that were completely worn out . Also has to replace the outer tie rods that were worn out creating a completely unsafe vehicle.less than a week later, the d light went black.suddenly it came back on along with the check engine light.took vehicle back to the service station and they now diagnosed it with the p0740 code tcc lockup solenoid.called several transmission shops that told me the only way to fix this is to get a new transmission at a cost of $3500 and up.this is very discerning that the transmission didn't last longer and this is a known problem with this model vehicle and honda refuses to issue the recall on all 2004 transmissions.there are service bulletins out there referring to this specificissue.i called american honda and they refused to assist stating the vehicle is way out of warranty to assist financially. I have had all the service done at the dealer until there was an issue last year with the heating/air conditioner that the dealer was unable to successfully fix after 6 visits and numerous coolant flushes.i have no faith in that local dealership to help.now i'm stuck with a money pit and can't afford to replace it.never again honda. They have certainly lost my loyalty after all this.we dealt with the same issue with the 2003 acura tls transmissions that were bad, 3 transmissions later and no help from honda who knowingly covered up their faulty transmission problems and left consumers footing the bill.
Took in our 2004 honda odyssey mini-van to fix open recalls.dealer found a broken motor mount.i've never had such a thing happen to any vehicle and was surprised that it would fail at such low mileage.after researching online i come to find that this is a frequent problem for the honda odyssey.
Vehicle failed safety inspection today because 3 engine mounts are broken.they were not broken at last years safety inspection, nor at scheduled maintenance 6 months ago.mechanic indicated he sees this frequently on honda odyssey.
Originating in portland, or to l.a., california, our vacation was abruptly interrupted 30 miles north of bakersfield with some smoke coming out of our engine. We decided to pull over for safety and upon disembarking noticed from fluid dripping from the driver side area of the engine. We were towed to a honda dealership in bakersfield and after spending the night came back the next morning to the dealer and was told that my transmission on my 2004 honda odyssey was out of commission and that it needed to be replaced. I have been a loyal customer of honda since the 80's, as my other family members, and never had we experienced this type of catastrophic event(having to pay $4000.00 to replace the transmission) during our family vacation. I am the original owner of this van and (from 2004), i never have ireceived any recall or communication from the honda corporation about the transmission. I always changed my fluids and had it maintained. If i would've knownabout the transmission issue, i probably would've avoided using it for such aslong journey. I contacted the honda corporation office in california but they disregarded it as just a misfortune. I asked for reimbursement or some type of reimbursement but they denied my plead.
Took the van to the local honda dealer for a routine brake fluid and brake rotor replacement. While working on that the mechanic noticed that the two front engine mounts were damaged. These are not listed by honda as the routine maintanance items. But failure of these would cause certain damage. Apparently it is a known issue with honday odysseys but honda has no recall for the failed part.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the relay pump failed. The vehicle was repaired. The contact also indicated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle would shake as the gears changed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 164,000.
Broken rear motor mount.
On 8/25/2016 i took my 2004 odyssey to anderson honda at palo alto for normal oil change. After the work was done they showed me that the oil drain plug would not torque down to specs (just spins). The oil was leaking from the oil pan. Anderson honda's service advisor denied that they over-torqued the plug. The mileage was only 67637, the plug had been taken off and put on for only about a dozen times and it's the original honda part in very good condition. Before the oil change there was nothing wrong with my car and during the last time maintenance at another honda dealer the car was checked with everything ok. On 8/29/2016 i took my car to victory honda at san bruno to fix the problem. The oil pan was replaced. The old oil pan showed the screw in the oil pan was damaged by the steel plug. The cause of this problem could be:1 anderson honda's technician over-torqued the plug and damaged the oil pan. But they claimed that they are honda official dealer and they didn't over-torqued it.2. Honda's parts or designs have defect. They should not put steel plug onto a soft metal pan directly.i think the cost of replacing damaged oil pan should be paid either by anderson honda or honda of america. The customer should not pay for their fault.the safety issue of this type of problem is oil leaking (harmful to our environment), engine failing on the road if damaged plug falls off.thank you very much for investigating this issue. I do appreciate all your helps.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I started leasing honda odyssey 2004 from honda dealership in april 2004 for 3 years, has not any problem with vehicle in that period (warranty period). I bought after lease and all problems started. 1): radio stopped working, honda replaced "free" because i bought additional 2 year warranty with $100 deductible, 2): back side window also stopped on open position, honda fixed for $100 deductible, (past 4 years both side windows doesn't work), 3): (one of major problems for blue color odyssey's this year), paint started peeling from hood, roof, under glass of both side slidingdoors, around back both side windows and whole paint on tailgate, honda covered only hood, roof and around back both side windows, when asked to paint rest of places they said don't have instruction about other spots from honda (its was very funny, like: "doctor know better, are you dead or alive"), now honda offers me for paint it with discounted price. 4) transmission fails, couldn't get any gear until resetting from hole top of steering will,changing trans oil didn't resolve this problem (this what mechanic told me) in honda dealership5) in 2011 on scheduled oil change mechanictold me to change all engine mounts and front shocks for $2500, hydraulic engine mount got leak and broke other mounts, i bought all engine mounts and front shocks for $700 and changed my self....now srs electronic control unit....i guess its too many defects and problems for this car....btw i'm a first and only owner of this odyssey and got only 96k miles on it....
Received news from a local honda dealership that all 4 engine mounts were broken for a cost of $925.when looking for parts happen to see the amount of chatter regarding engine mounts on several model years of the odyssey.lesson learned... Perhaps check this site before buying any vehicle.seems honda should cover some of the cost at least.
The motor mounts on this vehicle have to be replaced. There has been a banging noise coming from the engine upon acceleration for some time. I brought it to the repair shop and they are telling us that we have to replace the motor mounts at over $1000.00. He has told us that this is a very common problem in this model vehicle. We have done research and found many others complaining to you and honda, as well as other forum boards. This is a dangerous situation that is being overlooked by honda. Motor mounts are not a routine maintenance part. They should not be failing at all. As you know, failure of this part could cause catastrophic results causing a vehicle to careen into others, due to not being able to stop. This should clearly be a recall issue. The consumer should not be footing the bill for an obvious safety issue that honda is choosing to ignore. An investigation should be conducted immediately into this negligent behavior on honda's part.
Had noticed recently that when switching gears the van "jumped" and at highway speeds seemed to vibrate/shake.then the engine light came on.after much investigation, the diagnosis was the transmission needed to be replaced.when the transmission was being worked on it was also discovered that all of the mounts had to be replaced as well.the maintenance schedule had been followed completely so this was a complete shock -- at least until i started doing some research, saw the recall notice of over 1-million honda odyssey transmissions (however my vin # didn't come up!) and saw just how many transmission complaints there were from other owners also not part of the recall.because the dealership was way too expensive, i chose my recommended local aamco shop to do the repairs.called honda and was told there would be no "goodwill" claim because (a) the dealership did not do the repair and (b) the transmission is only warrantied by honda for 36/36,000 (no wonder!!).however, the dealership had told me that honda rarely provides "goodwill" claims and if they do, i'd be lucky to receive $400, so considering the dealership was over $2000 more for just the transmission work, i couldn't risk having the dealership do the repair to later find out that honda would reject a "goodwill" claim.
While driving my 2004 honda odyssey would completley stahl without any warning, just shut off.. I got the fuel relay replaced and it still stahled numerous times but started back up soon after.. Almost causing numerous accidents just stopping while driving.. Now my van has stahled and this time it will not restart. I have looked up recalls and found one that made sense for a 2004 honda odyssey for a fuel pump wire thst has corrosion causing the car to stahl.my vans vin doesnt fall under this recall....???
Dear sir/madam,we own a 2004 honda odyssey ex and bought it new at a local dealership. We maintained the vehicle according to the specs by the manufacturer. Earlier today we brought it to a local auto shop to get a regular oil change and was notified that the engine mounts are broken down and since the mileage is still under 100k, it is uncommon to have that. The store owner also mentioned that he noticed a lot of other honda odysseys have the similar problem.we went online to research the matter and found that there are actually a lot of complaints regarding similar issue from other honda odyssey owners particularly from 2003 to 2007 honda odyssey. Since we did not find a recall from honda of america, we want to report the problem here to be taken a look upon. Thank you for your time.
We have a 2004 honda odyssey, bought it used in the summer of 2009 with 79,766 mile.now at 91,160 mile, it's having major issues.on october 12, 2013, we drove the van to the store and back home just fine.on monday, october 14th when we tried to drive the van again, it would not reverse or drive at all.the engines starts up just fine in parking and in neutral gear.as soon as the gear was shifted to d or r, the engines stalled.plus the d drive light was flashing prior to the failure.searching online i found that owners of 2004 honda odyssey was having the same issue with the transmission failing. On october 22, i called to honda america to see if i can get some assistance for helping with the repair.i was given a case number.that same morning, i had our odyssey van towed to a honda dealer to be diagnosis of the problem. I have never drove a car that transmission would fail. If honda doesn't assist me with the repair, this will be the last honda i will ever buy!
Driving on highway on 11/15/2014 way to work around 65 mph and suddenly felt a jerk as some one hit from behind, looked around and keep driving felt jerk again and speed of vehicle came down pulled car to the side. Stopped the engine for few minutes and started the car again put gear in drive and car is moving very slowly even giving enough gas. End of calling tow truck and towed car to close by dealer. Dealer called me today 11/15/2014 to inform there is a transmission failure and need around $6000 in repairs.
The van is going backward when you put it in drive and when you press it does not go forward it just revs up the gas. The car was in motion driving when it went from driving to reving the gas and not going forward.
Vehicle was never serviced properly.
Two engine mounts are failing despite the relatively low mileage on the van. I've never owned a vehicle that suffered from such a potentially catastrophic failure with this many miles on it.
While driving the van about 65 mph on highway, it suddenly slowed down to a stop, could not get any power. Cruised to the side of the road. Noticed fluids leaking from engine. Had to tow the car to the dealership, frank ancona honda, olathe kansas. Told that the front and side motor mounts were broken and was causing stress on the back motor mount, and that this caused the engine to shake and the vent tube was shaken off, drained all transmission fluid. Cost to repair the motor mounts and vent tube was $860.31. Told by repairman that this was a common problem for honda odyssey's when they hit around the 110,000 mile mark. And they replace these all the time. Seems to me if this is a common problem then there must be a flaw in the engineering and honda should have recalled this vehicle for this problem. This is a safety issue to which i feel honda needs to address and fix.
It was thursday, early evening, and i was driving on a country road, approaching a stop sign, when the 2004 honda odyssey van's power cut out.the engine went dead in the middle of the road.it just suddenly cut off for no reason.i was able with difficulty to steer it to the side of the road.i turned the ignition "off" and called my husband thinking i might need aaa to come tow the car.after the van sat for a few minutes, i was able to get it to start again, but it sounded terrible and the engine's engagement felt weak.i was a few miles from an auto repair shop and decided to slowly drive it there and leave it overnight. I was told the next day that the transmission had failed and the mechanic mentioned that there had been a recall on my van of which i was unaware.i looked up the recalls on the nhtsa site that honda and issued and noticed that my van's vin number was in the range that had been recalled for transmission problems. I called local honda dealers about this as well as the honda corporate number.each said that even though my van's vin was in the batch that was recalled and even though the exact problem that i had experienced was the reason for the recall, they did not feel obliged to assist with the van's repair.neither the local honda dealer nor honda corporate would give an explanation as to why they felt they did not need to shoulder any of the transmission replacement costs. I believe this is against the law.can corporations like honda really get away with ignoring the law?after paying for a $4,600 transmission replacement, i do not have the money to fight them.
Was told that 2 engine mounts needed to be replaced. One was broken, and the other cracked. Standard maintenance schedule followed. No issue mentioned at during previous service appointments. Normal family driving for vacations and around town only.
Have owned this oddysey since 2008 and the vehicle at that time had around 40,000 miles. At that time i had to replace the front engine mount. Las week i went to the dealer for 90k service and they tell me i need to replace both the front right and front middle mount again!!!. So these mounts last 40 to 50k miles at max, outrageous for a brand like honda. I will cost me now 800$ to replace these 2.
Check engine light and tcs light came on while driving the van at highway speeds.the transmission shifts smoothly and sounds fine, but the repair shop pulled a code of p0740--tc clutch failure.the transmission is failing, and this is apparently a common problem with honda odysseys.while our transmission lasted longer than many odysseys' do, i think that transmission failure at 119k is unacceptable.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while at the dealer for routine maintenance, he was informed that the two motor mounts (front and side/right) would need to be replaced.the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure (or pretend to be not aware of it). The approximate failure mileage was 95000.it seems that the engine mount issue with the honda odyssey should be looked into. After scrolling thru the pages of complaints i noticed there was a complaint on every page. This look to be either a cash cow for local dealers or a honda defect. Can nhtsa protect us? please do something to help us. If you can't help would we be better off calling a congressman?
I took my car in on a recall for shiftinterlock, was told all my engine mounts were broken and it was going to cost me 1000.00.this should be a safety issue and should be a recall on this, the mileage on my 2004 honda odyssey is 101434.this is a safety issue and honda should pay for this cost.honda is known for there reliability and dependability, should stand behind there vehicles.i had to call around to see what it would cost and is being fixed.i can't afford to pay this but i am forced to.i purchased the van because of the reliability of there vehicles and now this.so what is honda going to do about this problem? another complaint # is 10425453.this is ridiculous and this repair is going to cost me 700.00 and i want a settlement amount to cover this cost.i expect to hear from someone on this matter and sooner the better.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The alternator wires burned up and the transmission slipped, which caused the vehicle to stall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated while the vehicle was being repaired by the dealer they stated both the left and right motor mounts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact did not contact the manufacturer regarding the defective motor mounts. The failure mileage was 52,000. The vin was not available.
Side and front motor mounts discovered to have failed at 59852 miles on 2/19/09 and had to be replaced. Now, 6/18/12, rear (transmission) mount discovered to have failed at 88000 miles and has to be replaced.normal family driving for vacations and around town only.no extreme conditions or roads.
While coming to a stop for vehicles stopped at the traffic light at the end of my street, i rear-ended an oil truck in front of me.my driver's side airbag deployed as i applied the brakes to stop, causing me to lose control and hit the oil truck.my vehicle was totaled and my injuries were not severe.
Took the vehicle to the dealership for an oil change. Was advised the front engine mount and both side engine mounts were broken. The service advisor said this is a common problem with this vehicle.
Motor mounts on this vehicle are failing prematurely. I had to replace right engine mount at 97750 miles and was just informed by a honda dealership that the front engine mount needs to be replaced at 102500 miles.
Two engine mounts failed at 82,600 miles.i understand it is a common occurrence on this vehicle.
My wife was driving home late at night when all of a sudden the check engine light and tcs light come on in her 2004 honda odyssey.the van begins to slow down until it will go no faster than 5 mph.pulling to the side of the road, she turned off the van then restarted it.she was able to get the last few miles back to our house luckily, and we brought the vehicle to a shop just up the street since it could not make it much further.it turns out the transmission needs to be replaced.the shop called honda, knowing there had been a recall on the 2004 odyssey transmissions, but honda claimed that it did the work for the recall and had no further responsibility.i am extremely dissatisfied with this.to know there is a problem with a transmission, "fix" it with a recall, and still have problems with it on a vehicle with under 100,000 miles is unacceptable.i've owned hondas in the past and never had a problem like this.matter of fact, i've never had a problem like this with any car i've owned, no matter the manufacturer.my wife and i purchased a honda minivan because it is supposed to be safe.but to have the vehicle stop working with no warning due to a transmission that honda is aware is faulty is as far from safe as you can get.i'm just thankful she wasn't on the highway when it went out.
Auto repair shop informed me that two motor mounts were broken.not repairing them could result in the engine dropping and pulling radiator down which would be dangerous and result in a more expensive repair.they informed me that motor mounts are not a maintenance item, like belts, for example.they should not have to be replaced in normal circumstances.they also said they have seen a lot of this exact problem in this generation honda odyssey.further, the price of these motor mounts is very high and has not come down which is what they would expect given the frequency of repair and age of model.i called honda america which told me that since my car is out of warranty there's nothing they can do.
I had all major services at honda dealer ( four wheels alignment at 95000 miles in 2012, timing bell at 100000 miles in 2012, oil transmission service at 109500 miles in 2013, alignment at 121000 in 2013). I bought extended warranty for 7 years or 100000 miles when i bought my car. During that time period and all services at honda dealer they did not advise any thing. Today i brought my car for air bag recall, alignment and oil transmission service, they told me that i need to replace all three engine mount cost approximately $1380. I was shock because it too expensive.i can not understand why engine mounts easy to break. I went home researching online and surprising to discover that a lot of people had same problem. I think this engine mount defected or design problem cause engine mounts easy to break (normally need to replace over 200000 miles) and honda needs to address this issue. Please advise me what i suppose to do because if engine mounts broke it going to effect suspension, balancing and alignment system etc... Thank you very much.best regard,updated 4/28/16
I took our 2004 odyssey mini van to our honda dealership for a recall on the ignition switch. While there, the dealership identified three of the four engine mounts were broken, resulting in a $858.78 repair. The dealer claims that the problem is not uncommon in vehicles with 100,000. We've had cars much older than this and have never experienced this problem!if it's "not uncommon" in honda odysseys, i think it should be investigated. Perhaps another recall from honda is due.
Backing out of my driveway in reverse then shifting into drive the odyssey would continue in reverse. Shifted into drive and the car wouldn't move. Shifted into 2nd gear and the car stated to move, shifted again into drive. Stopped at a traffic light and when i put my foot on the gas the rpm's went flying and the car wouldn't move forward.
After parking the vehicle consumer was unable to restart vehicle. Then,after several hours the vehiclestarted as if nothingever happened. Dealerinspected the vehicle twice but, could not find the cause of the problem.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)my car is 2004 honda odyssey van.when service dept. Of honda dealership at dublin, ca replaced my timing belt, they found out that two front engine mounts have been already broken. They told me that if i don't replace the broken engine mounts now ,the third engine mount on the back will be broken soon and it will damage your automatic transmission system.the estimated cost was $700 to fix the two engine mounts.i had to replace the parts to avoid danger and more fixing cost in the future.my wife and i have driven several different cars and had never that kind of problem before - broken engine mounts.when i researched internet, i found out that honda odyssey van owners have complained about same problem that i have now and it costs honda odyssey van owner $650 to $1,000 to fix the problem.could you please investigate this problem - broken engine mount in honda odyssey van?[xxx]
Three engine mounts are broken on our honda odyssey. This seems to be a very common problem with this model. We have had and currently have other cars that are and were older than this odyssey and yet the mounts remained in tact. Honda currently refuses to acknowledge that this is a model defect. I have had to shell out close to $1500 to correct their defective parts. I am appalled that they are refusing to recall these parts and on top are charging such high prices to correct it.
In 2/05, took van to dealer, explaining vehicle sometimes does not start, doesn't even make any turn over noises, but then smells of gas. This is an occasional item and then starts. Dealers stated i must be turning the key too fast. Also been experiencing vehicle cutting out between 35-50 mph. Dealer states must be from taking foot off gas pedal. Most recently, around 33k, blower motor for ac has terrible noise. Have taken to dealer 2x in 3 weeks. Told there are "leaves" in system. An independent mechanic states it is most likely a bearing going bad in the motor. Have continued to inform dealer of starting problems & hesitation problems between 35-50 mpg. Told warranty is close to expiring, but have driven & started vehicle several times & can't replicate problem. Most recent trip to dealer was on 8/23/06.
Our 2004 odyssey went in for routine maintenance today and the technician reported both a front and a rear motor mount was bad.the vehicle has less than 80,000 miles and is used for hauling kids and getting groceries, not extreme driving and has never been in an accident.the service representative said this is a safety problem because it can cause excessive vibration, damage the transmission, and cause hoses and wires to come lose.this is an unacceptable manufacturing defect.the expected life of such an essential part cannot possibly be less than 150,000 miles.it is not a routine maintenance problem, it is not a consumable part like brakes and hoses, and it's not a moving part like the transmission or a pulley.i would expect the transmission or engine to fail long before the parts holding the van together to start failing, especially the mounts holding the engine.the following link suggests this is a widespread problem that honda refuses to address: http://community.cartalk.com/discussion/1560611/honda-odyssey-motor-mount-problem.
When driving at a consistent speed between 30 and 50 mph, engine feels like it is losing power and the tachometer needle fluctuates, this will occur for a few seconds and then return to normal.it seems to happen regardless if the engine is cool or hot.took to honda dealer and technician only took the van out for one test drive without experiencing the problem.i told service advisor that the problem occurs intermittently.took van on july 08, contacted honda, still no resolution.
Vin not available: car currently in serviceon monday, 12/19/2011, the odyssey accelerated even after applying brakes to slow down. Had to pull into service shop and drive until the car could be safely placed in park, and had to shut off the engine. Was told the electronic throttle position sensor (part #047211) would have to be ordered from honda and replaced. The car was available for pick up on tuesday 12/20/2011.on wednesday, 12/21/2011, while traveling east on the new york state thruway the car began to accelerate again above the speed limit without stepping on the gas. The cruise control was not on. The car continued to accelerate after depressing the brakes. I had to pull to the side of the road and into a service station. Continued to drive around parking lot until i could put the car in neutral and, again, shut the engine off. Even when car was turned back on the engine accelerated.the car is currently at a certified honda repair shop in yorkville, n.y. Being evaluated. They are telling us they will need to check engine and transmission mounts on the vehicle (due to being in an accident in 2009, but was reconditioned in 2010 by another honda dealer), also will check cable between throttle body and gas. Still waiting to hear if anything has been resolved.this car is the main car for our household which includes 4-year-old triplets (one has special needs). Only the operator was in the vehicle when both incidents occurred.
Took the vehicle to the dealership for an oil change. Was advised the front engine mount and both side engine mounts were broken. The service advisor said this is a common problem with this vehicle. I paid over 700 for this repair.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine brake service. The dealer discovered that the top motor mount on the passenger side was completely worn and the rubber was fractured. The motor mounts were no longer covered on the vehicle and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 110,000. The vin was not available. Updated 09/27/11 updated 2/28/12
I bought this odyssey from jim coleman honda in maryland in 2006 with extended warranty. This is 2004 model. The ac worked 2006 but in 2007 it di not work when we needed. I called the honda and was told that they do not cover ac under the warranty. I took my odyssey to criswell honda in germantown in maryland and paid $100.00 for the diagnostic. It worked fine fora week and again no ac. After that we went to india in sep 2007 and rtn in dec 2007. When the summer came in 2007 we had no ac i took the van again to criswell honda and explain to them that they fixed this in 2007 they looked and said that there is a leak and will cost $55.00 to fix it. I fought back and after talking to the manager they said it will cost $50.00. I paid and after 3 days again no ac. Come 2009 may i took it to my local mechanic and was told that theirs is no visible leaks at this time but they need to put the dye to chk any leak and will cost me $560.00 . I guess that it is regular problem with honda and they are well aware of this. Good way to make money and spoil your name.i had a honda accord 95 model and never had issue with the ac.i am going to write to honda in japan about this.i have just called the american honda and got the standard answer from ms marlyn that there is no recall or advisory from honda on this. Take your vehicle to the dealership and she opened a case no for me.lets fight together. Aejaz
I kept smelling antifreeze after driving the van but never could find a leak.finally, i noticed the engine was overheating.looking carefully, i discovered a coolant leak at head gasket area.while removing head assembly, i noticed two bolts were loose.after removing head assembly from engine block, i discovered stripped threads in one of the bolt holes to hold the head assembly down.a helicoil insert will be used to repair threads before reassembly.
Broken motor mount.
2004 honda odyssey. Consumer writes in regards to motor mounts *tgwthe dealer informed the consumer that the front and side motor mounts were broken and needed to be replaced.
Boughtthe honda in may 2004. Noticed a slight hesitation at times when engine was not warmed up. I complained about it in my new car survey form and each time it was serviced. On 8-5-05 they replaced egr valve, as it sometimes would cause this failure.on 2-5-07 it totally quit as i was starting a turn into pep boys parking lot, if anyone would have been coming out i would have run into them as i had no steering nor brakes.took it into the dealer and said i wanted it fixed before i would have an accident.i had mentioned something about the lemon law and they said i would have to contact honda of america, which i did.end result was dealer took car for three days in march 2007.they tested it but could not make it fail so nothing was done. Both honda of america and the dealer gave me their final comment: if they can't see a failure there is nothing they can do for it.
Dt*: the contact stated the brake pedal of the vehicle started rocking left to right when depressed, even if the vehicle was immobile or at any speed.no warning light were illuminated prior to the incident.the vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined the brake pedal rocking movement was normal.the contact was concerned because it could be connected with other unnoticed safety problems.the manufacturer was not contacted.the sliding door actuator was replaced. The side door sepaker was replaced. Updated 12/01/06.
I have a 2004 honda odyssey w/ dvd system. After approximately 30-60 min the wireless audio and the audio jacks will emit a loud whining sound.
While coming to a stop for vehicles stopped at the traffic light at the end of my street, i rear-ended an oil truck in front of me.my driver's side airbag deployed as i applied the brakes to stop, causing me to lose control and hit the oil truck.my vehicle was totaled and my injuries were not severe.
After i bring my car to dealer they fix the srs control unit recall, then the srs light always on then they tell me need to pay for the part opds unit will not initialize. Why i have to pay for opds part before my car never have that happen.
My 2004 honda odyssey has a repeated problem with its "brake light switch".this term can be misleading - it has nothing to do with the brakes.what happens is once the car is turned on, or sometimes already on, and you are about to switch gears, the car is in no gear at all.even the owner's manual has a "fix" for this under "shift lock release".this has happened on and off in my car for over 2 years.i have a honda dealership correct this to only have it happen again and again.the problem with the "shift locking" is it may happen 3 times in one day and then not happen for 5 days.the dealership says they cannot replicate the item so they cannot fix it under warranty from the previous time.
About 2 years ago, the window actuator failed on the passenger side, i paid to repair this. Over the last 6 months, another 4 actuators have failed. One of them is the lock actuator on passenger side, second is the lock actuator on left sliding door, another is the window actuator on driver side and the actuator for driver side door lock.the problems of this magnitude are a serious safety issue as the window actuator on driver side suddenly failed while driving and was scary as the window just fell into the door.the other actuators failing with locks and doors can be a serious problems, especially with children in the vehicle where the window or door suddenly opens or closes.this seems to be an electrical component problem that need to be addressed by a national recall.
I was driving to school, and the transmission was acting funny.i drove it approximately 30 miles to our dealership.luckily i made it.the highest speed i could go was almost 40mph.pulled into the dealership at 8:30a.m. And waited.was given the news that it was the transmission, and it was almost $6,000.00 to replace.they had me.didn't know what to do...and had to pick up kids at school at 3;30p.m.ended up sinking $40,000.00 into a new 2014 odyssey.boy do i feel taken!and then to find out there was a problem with honda transmissions from 1999.i do question the transmission of the one i am driving now....it shifts funny.my 2004 also always had a fuel smell.was concerned at times of starting it.we also paid to have the dash lights fixed....at our expense.didn't know there was a recall on that either......darn those dealerships!!!they got us on the transmission too!!
The high beam has a single halogen light for both settings. When switching from low to high beam the light fails to project far ahead . This reduces extended visibility asneeded for the high beam. Dealership stated that they were unable to make observations due to businesshoursin order to correct the problem. With a single halogen bulb, when switching from low beam to high beam, the low beam element goes out and no longer works resulting in a dark sensation ahead of the vehicle because the high beam light is further out and is too dispersed. High beams are unusable in this condition.(per telephone conversation w/ consumer on 07/02/04 *mjj)
2004 honda odyssey van. The ignition switch and turn signal switch fail to operate correctly. The turn signal switch assembly had to be replaced by the local dealership because the relay switch in the steering column would begin to activate while driving producing an electric odor.the turn signal relay switch was replaced at approx 110,000 miles. The ignition switch is now being replaced because the ignition key cannot be inserted to start the car routinely without being manipulated.when this car was relatively new and under warranty the fan switch had to be replaced. The car now has 150,000 miles.my concern is that the electrical components in the steering column are defective and that the turn signal relay switch had the potential to burn; and the ignition switch could fail during operation of the car. The ignition switch is a defective part, or the part is from an a prior recall of 1999 to 2003 ignition switch's recalled by honda that were used in later year models. Potentially, the 2004 models should have been included in any recalls of the ignition switches.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled suddenly while he was driving 50 mph.

The transmission failed upon entering the freeway.vehicle suddenly lost power and forced to pull over.almost rear ended by other cars also entering the freeway.honda odysseys are known to have transmission problems and this body style 1999 to 2004 are defective.from my readings a large quantity of the transmissions failed at 80,000 so at least we made it to 125,000 miles.i regularly changed the transmission fluid.spent $3200 at aamco getting it fixed.
The contact owns 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while making a right turn, the vehicle was involved in a head on crash and the airbags did not deploy.

My family and i were on a vacation in our 2004 odyssey.our vacation was almost 2000 miles, round trip.when we were nearing our destination, our vehicle suddenly began to lose power when we would try to pass.it was getting so bad that we decided to pull off at a honda dealership along the interstate.the serviceman jumped in the vehicle and it did not act out of the ordinary.he told us that likely a computer chip was off and needed resetting, so if it did it again, to be sure to pull off the interstate and shut off the vehicle.we proceeded another 60 miles or so without incident.upon our return trip a week later, the van did the same thing.it was getting so bad that we could only go 45 miles per hour in the passing lane on the interstate.(keep in mind that our van had less than 3,000 miles on it when we left for our trip.)we pulled off a few times to try to "reset" the vehicle, to no avail.finally, we knew we would not make it home.at that point, our engine light and tcs lights came on and stayed on.we pulled off at another service center, at which point our van totally died.we had to have a tow, a taxi, and get a hotel since it was sunday. It turned out that the fuel pump failed and sent metal throughout the system.they had to flush the tank, hoses, etc., replace the fuel pump, and replace a couple of fuel injectors. The vehicle was out of service for eleven days.we are now fearful that there is engine damage that won't show up until after the warranty has expired. So far, honda has paid for the repairs and our rental car home (we think), and they said they would pay for the tow and the hotel but will not pay for the cab, the extra meals out, all of our phone calls to make arrangements, etc.they basically said that it is not their fault that we were so far from home when the vehicle failed.we totally distrust our van and don't like honda of america's attitude.
Vehicle will stall sparadically within the first five minutes of driving. Vehicle can either be cold or previously driven and stall will occur.once stall occursthe engine will restart without a problem.stall can occur as many as three times daily or not for several days.at a stop sign i pressed the accelerator to turn onto oncoming traffic going at approximately 60 mph and the vehicle stalled in the inetrsection.both my young children and i were nearly killed. The problem has been reported to the dealer and honda as well.vehicle has been to the dealer for service on this issue four times and dealer is unable to reproduce the problem.problem is now ongoing for the past two months.this should bea real safety concern to honda as well as all odyssey owners.

My van continues to stall.the fuel pump and fuel pump relay was replaced in late september, but the van continues to have the same problem.it will start, run for 1-3 seconds, and shut down.it will take anywhere from one try one hour worth of tries to get it to start up again.the van has left my family stranded on several occasions.i have contacted the honda dealer, and they tell me this is normal.i don't believe a vehicle with 7000 miles normally does not start, and can take up to one hour to start.they also have told me that i am flooding the vehicle-even though i am not touching the footfeet and have always driven a fuel injected vehicle.my husband and i are to the point that we do not even want the vehicle, but our dealer does not seem to take us seriously.i read a complaint that a customer filed stating metal was sent throughout her vehicles fuel lines.how can the service department check to see if this is what has happened to my vehicle.the service department continually tells me they can do nothing unless the service engine light comes on.this has yet to happen.i am very tired of being stranded by my brand new vehicle.

Daily my 2004 odyssey will stall.the engine will start, run for one second, then shut off.this will occur for one minute to one hour.it first occured when the van had three hundred miles on its odometer.it has been into the dealership four times, but they tell me it cannot be fixed unless it acts up at the dealership.they also told me that i am pressing on the footfeet and flooding the van.lastly, they told me to hold the key two seconds after the van starts-even though this will wear out the starter.no deaths or injuries have occured due to this, just a ruined vacation and many times of being stranded with a brand new vehicle that will not start.it has never been examined by anyone at a dealership-the service adviser would always send me away without having a technician look at it.

I own honda odessysince 09/ 2017. I replaced timing belt with one year warranty, because the previous owner did not do it.12/09/16 i took my honda odessy 2004 to manhattan honda dealership for recall. I asked to honda representative to check and tell me what is necessary to replace or repair. I knew that transmission recall for honda odessy 2004 was open and told them to check and repair it if it is necessary, but they refused to do itthey told me that my honda has many issues and repair all necessary things will cost me $10000. The fuel pump, timing belt, which i already replaced, and transmission clutch was included in the repair list.last month i had a very bad experience when driving this car. It wasloosing power and stopping when i was driving.it was dangerous for traffic. It occur on very dangerous spats, like exits from hgway, brooklyn bridge etc., i could start up car in 5 minutes and it was drawing with no problems then. It was a few times like this and the last time i drove home and couldn't start up the car no more.i towed car to repair shop and mechanic told me that my fuel pump needs to be replaced. I came home and started research andfound the recall for honda odessy fuel pump, forhonda odessy that was built on and after06/21/04 is on recall for fuel pump repair or replace. My honda odessy was built 06/2004i replaced the fuel pump and car is running very good now and i do not have this problem again.because i had the fuel pump problem after my car was on recall, and because they knew that fuel pump replacewas included in recall, and they knew that my car has this problem and did not fixed it i am hereby asking the honda dealership to reimburse money thati spent on fuel pump repair $653.03. I also asking honda dealership to check again a transmission and repair it, if it is necessary.
Corrosion within the fuel pump wiring connector and the fuel pump retaining nut was cracked / broken.customer complaint was stalling while driving, no start condition.troubleshooting procedure indicated the fuel pump wiring connector was faulty the inspection revealed that the connector was corroded apparently from moisture.this issue is certainly a safety concern considering the faulty connection can cause loss of engine power -> loss of power steering, and the faulty fuel pump nut can cause gasoline fumes to escape containment which may lead to an explosion / fire.if the connector was jiggled the fuel pump would intermittently operate and or fail.the local honda dealer refused to recognize the safety recall campaign # 04v42000 or the hondaservice bulletin #04-049, and refused to mitigate the problem without offering the option to repair the issue outside of the recall which would cost the customer $454.32 for the fuel pump repair kit in addition to service fees of at least $374.00.the vehicle was initially towed-in and presented for service on june of 2018.the honda dealer is providing wiring harness, retaining nut and gasket at a cost to the customer.
While driving my 2004 honda odyssey would completley stahl without any warning, just shut off.. I got the fuel relay replaced and it still stahled numerous times but started back up soon after.. Almost causing numerous accidents just stopping while driving.. Now my van has stahled and this time it will not restart. I have looked up recalls and found one that made sense for a 2004 honda odyssey for a fuel pump wire thst has corrosion causing the car to stahl.my vans vin doesnt fall under this recall....???

Sliding doors don't open/close as they should trapping people inside.

My 2004 honda odyssey automatic power sliding door opened while driving onthe highway going 55 mph. It also opened while driving 35 mph. It opens on its own whenever it wants and will not close or lock completely. I have contacted honda corp and they state that i have to pay the $100's or more to get diagnosed. I feel it is a safety issue!! and should be fixed for free. An automatic door that opens on its own is a safety issue. I have contacted the dealership i bought it from and they state i should pay for it as well. I am not the only owner with the same issue. A kid could fall out when the door opens or if i get in an accident and that door opens the person sitting there would be dead!!! i have video taped it opening while driving!
Driver side rear door will not close securely and will not lock.door slides open in transit. Door has had difficulty closing intermittently for several months and will no longer close securely at all.
There were no events or issues leading up to the event. While traveling at a speed of approx 35 mph the latch on the slider door (driver's side) became disengaged and the slider door opened. The door was properly closed and and locked. The slider failed to close after that. Put the vehicle in for replacement of latch.
While driving on the highway my passenger side power door kept opening and closing on its own. I tried to manually shut it and it still will not completely shut. The same happens with the driver side power door.
We have a 2004 honda odyssey and the driver's side sliding door will not securely close.it closes most of the way then, instead of latching, stays just unlatched and keeps the warning going off.i hear this is a common honda problem.i am concerned because my has to turn off the electric doors in order to drive the vehicle (even after bumping the door closed) and that (1) negates the warning feature and (2) makes the vehicle unsafe in my opinion because the doors do not function properly.

The rear hatch on my 2004 honda odyssey will not open. The handle appears to no longer be attached to the opening mechanism. I know there are screws on the bottom of the inside door panel to remove this panel, but because the door won't open, i am unable to reach the screws.
The drivers side sliding door will no longer latch.it started out a month ago springing open as it was about to shut all the way.then we had to help it, by pushing as it shut to get it to close all the way.after a few weeks, that did not work either and we had to hip check it to get it to close all the way and lock down.now even that will not work and it will not latch at all.this should be considered a safety issue with this vehicle.we will consult our mechanic.
My 2003 honda odyssey keys haven't been able to open my driver's side door for almost a year.a few weeks ago i started having the same problems with my ignition.it's getting harder every day and taking more time to trick my key into the ignition lock.if i don't wiggle it in perfectly it will get stuck half way in and i have to trick it back out of the lock.i have an appointment at the honda dealership tomorrow to fix whatever the problem is but he said to plan on at least $500 for new cylinders and/or ignition, plus possibly new keys.i'm really frustrated with this because it looks like so many people are having this problem so it must be a defect.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contacted stated that the rear driver side door was difficult to latch in order to close the door. The contact also stated that the lock switch had to be depressed on several occasions in order to lock the door. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown. Updated 10/23/14 updated 04/13/2015
My 3 year olds leg got stuck as the automatic door was opening to our honda odyssey.the door kept opening pinning his leg between the door and the floorboard.i had to manually pull on the door multiple times before the door reversed and started closing so i could get his leg out.his leg was badly bruised with deep red marks on each side.the next day i went to the dealer to see if the doors safety mechanisms were not working properly and was informed that the door had no safety mechanism to stop it from opening if something (like a leg) was stuck between it and the floorboard, that it only had safety mechanisms for as it closed.there only option was to disable the doors everytime the kids were in the car.this is a tough solution as when the doors are deactivated they are very hard to open and close.even my 7 year old cannot open them manually.also i feel as if there should be a safety mechanism for the door as it opens as well as when it closes.if i had not been right there to force the door to open, his leg would have been broken instead of just bruised. Also in the future i have to constantly make sure the doors are off now when he is in the car.
1month ago i opened the passenger side automatic door on my 2004 honda odyssey and it pinned a publix bagger and shopping cart between my vehicle and another vechile.the door did not stop and continiued to ram itself open.thankfully, the bagger was not injured, but the my vehicle has several significant dents and scrapes.in dec. 2004, we had taken the van in for door problems; not shutting properly, stopping during closing for no reason etc.i'm very concerned about the door's safety features, especially regarding my 2 y/o.the dealership 12/04 & 7/25/05, states that no abnormalities were found.i'm very concerned and will seek legal advice.
Dt*: the contact stated the brake pedal of the vehicle started rocking left to right when depressed, even if the vehicle was immobile or at any speed.no warning light were illuminated prior to the incident.the vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined the brake pedal rocking movement was normal.the contact was concerned because it could be connected with other unnoticed safety problems.the manufacturer was not contacted.the sliding door actuator was replaced. The side door sepaker was replaced. Updated 12/01/06.
Latches/locks/linkages:doors:latchwhile my wife was retrieving my 1yr old daughter from her child restraining device my 3.5yr old son activated the automatic sliding rear/left passenger door crushing my wife causing bruses to her left shoulder.neither child were hurt in this incident.
The safety danger i want to report is locking a child in a vehicle with ignition turned on and no way to get inside the vehicle.vehicle: honda odyssey minivan 2004 lx model. This model has automatic door lock once ignition is turned on. However, unlike most other vehicles where automatic door lock operates and locks doors when vehicle is in motion, on honda odyssey - there is simply a fixed time delay ~10 sec between start of ignition and locking of all doors. The problem with this is: (a) in a parking lot - i started the car by sitting on the driver's seat and with all doors closed, and immediately decided to open the door and step out to verify that i have put all the groceries back in the van - the van door shut locked - there was an adult inside the car who could open the door for me - but there was also a 18 month old baby in the car seat - and i am worried that this can happen to others. (b) on 22nd january morning, i started my car in the my garage and since it is cold got out of the vehicle to come in the house - but today i did this too quickly (within 10 sec?) and ended up locking myself out of my van with van engine running. I got my spare key to open the locked doors. Again - am very concerned that not everyone has spare keys easily accessible (could be with some other member of the family). The greatest safety danger is locking a child in a vehicle with ignition turned on and no way to get inside the vehicle.
Intermittently driver'sside sliding door opened and closedon its own. A two year old child was unsafe whileconsumer was driving the vehicle.
My daughter opened the car door and , not realizing this, i pushed the keyless entry/door open button.these actions made the door stop with a small opening.my daughter then tried to maunally open the door at the same time i pushed the button again.this resulted in her hand being crushed/caught and shut in the van door.i ran and maunally opened the door to see her hand crushed.this all happend in a matter of seconds. We iced it andupon her pediatricians request,took her to the emergency room for x-rays.it turned out that her hand was not broken but briuised badly.this van is supposed to have a safety feature to not crush people/children in the door!
Automatic sliding door closed on consumer's 31/2 year old child's right hand.child sustained cuts and bruises. Dealer was notified.
The automatic sliding door sensor failed to work. This caused the consumer to be locked in the door. Consumer sustained minor injuries. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
7 year old child's finger was closed into the automatic door of our honda odyssey minivan.the door wuld not open again until it had fully closed on the finger.we thought the door had a failsafe device to automatically open if it encountered resistance.this did not happen.we will consult with our honda dealership to see if there is a problem with our vehicle.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While driving 25 mph, the rear driver's side power sliding door opened inadvertently and failed to latch after several attempts. Upon attempting to close the door, an alarm sounded. The contact pulled the vehicle over and was able to latch the power sliding door after several attempts. The contact stated that the manual power sliding door mechanism on the dashboard remained inoperative. The contact re-entered the vehicle and the failure recurred. Southtowne auto mall (10770 auto mall drive, sandy, utah 84070, (866) 957-1679) was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle could not be serviced until one week from the date of the incident. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in any recalls related to the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
My daughter and i both opened her door at the same time (she with the handle and i with the button on the key). The door opened just a little and then stopped. I asked her to open the door and she said, "no, you open it." she began to get in the car (through the small opening in the door) and i pressed the button. The door closed on her - it did not stop. It pushed hard enough against her to cause a huge mark on her arm. It is completely black and blue and she screamed out and cried loudly from the pain. The door after closing on her reopened. It should have never closed on her. The sensor should have caught it. - we took pictures of her arm if you need them. I have also been caught in the door a couple times (twice) when i was buckling my kids in and accidentally pressed the button. The door didn't stop even though i was in the doorway. I looked online to submit a complaint to honda, but they don't have a way to do it online. I have not yet complained directly to them. Let me know if i should.
Transmission wants to shift but doesn't and it does it while driving down the highway at higher speeds to. I think it is bs that they know there is a problem with their transmissions and they tell me mine doesn't qualify because the vin doesn't match. I feel like they should fix ithasn't gone out yet but it will one day then i'm supposed to cover it.
We have a 2004 honda odyssey, bought it used in the summer of 2009 with 79,766 mile.now at 91,160 mile, it's having major issues.on october 12, 2013, we drove the van to the store and back home just fine.on monday, october 14th when we tried to drive the van again, it would not reverse or drive at all.the engines starts up just fine in parking and in neutral gear.as soon as the gear was shifted to d or r, the engines stalled.plus the d drive light was flashing prior to the failure.searching online i found that owners of 2004 honda odyssey was having the same issue with the transmission failing. On october 22, i called to honda america to see if i can get some assistance for helping with the repair.i was given a case number.that same morning, i had our odyssey van towed to a honda dealer to be diagnosis of the problem. I have never drove a car that transmission would fail. If honda doesn't assist me with the repair, this will be the last honda i will ever buy!
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that after stopping at an intersection and then attempting to accelerate, the vehicle would respond. After restarting the vehicle and waiting a while, the vehicle resumed normal function. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where they advised the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and they advised her that the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign id number: 04v176000 (power train:automatic transmission). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileages were approximately 83,000.
I was driving on the interstate using cruise control set at 70 mph the posted speed limit when there was a subtle clunk like i hit a small bump and then the engine sounded like it was out of gear, it was revving and slowing down. I made sure it was in gear, it was and i turned the cruise control off and attempted to accelerate and the rpm surged but the speed continued to slow. There was smoke coming from under the front of the vehicle and when i looked in the rear view mirror there was a long trail of smoke behind me. I was able to get over to the shoulder safely.this is missouri highway 70, heavily traveled by semis. We had traveled 70 miles on the highway when this happened in 95 degree weather. I had it towed to the honda dealership and it was indeed the transmission and it had to be replaced at approximately $4,000. I had no prior warning signs, no slipping of gears, no dash lights lit, just a slight clunk and no ability to accelerate.
At around 80,000 complained to honda dealer that my van was roughly downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gears.they just recommended a transmission flush and never mentioned previous recall and tranny problems.i bought this vehicle as a certified pre-owned with 39,000 miles.was unaware of the recall and problems with prior model years.my extended warranty expired at 100,000 miles and my transmission died at 112,560. I backed out of the garage and when i shifted from reverse to drive my van kept rolling backward.i thought it was a fluke until it died while driving it with my two small children in the van in the middle of our town.it managed to shift to 2nd gear and drive to a local mechanic at around 45 mph (i was able to drive since i was in town and the speed limit where it failed was 40mph.i had to have it towed to honda as the transmission was not drivable once it was shut off at mechanic.this is very dangerous.it is wrong for honda to not have to replace these faulty transmissions.i paid honda over $3,000 for this replacement.
5/6/14 took my vehicle into the local service station for diagnosis of clunking engine noise.had to pay $1400 to replace both motor mounts that were completely worn out . Also has to replace the outer tie rods that were worn out creating a completely unsafe vehicle.less than a week later, the d light went black.suddenly it came back on along with the check engine light.took vehicle back to the service station and they now diagnosed it with the p0740 code tcc lockup solenoid.called several transmission shops that told me the only way to fix this is to get a new transmission at a cost of $3500 and up.this is very discerning that the transmission didn't last longer and this is a known problem with this model vehicle and honda refuses to issue the recall on all 2004 transmissions.there are service bulletins out there referring to this specificissue.i called american honda and they refused to assist stating the vehicle is way out of warranty to assist financially. I have had all the service done at the dealer until there was an issue last year with the heating/air conditioner that the dealer was unable to successfully fix after 6 visits and numerous coolant flushes.i have no faith in that local dealership to help.now i'm stuck with a money pit and can't afford to replace it.never again honda. They have certainly lost my loyalty after all this.we dealt with the same issue with the 2003 acura tls transmissions that were bad, 3 transmissions later and no help from honda who knowingly covered up their faulty transmission problems and left consumers footing the bill.
The transmission on my 2004 honda odyssey failed. I was almost rear-ended, before i could pull over to the side.
Transmission needs to be replaced on this vehicle.bought the van used in 2006 with 25,000 miles.the van is not used for towing.driven mostly around town and on long trips.now with just 115000 miles the mechanic is saying the transmission is shot.today the van revved awkwardly high during gear shifts and then the gear selector became non-effective once the vehicle stopped.apparently this is typical for this vehicle of this age which unacceptable in my mind for a honda.the estimate is for $4,500 to repair.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odysssey. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled back although it was in park and turned off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the altenator and ignition might need to be replaced. The vehicle had not been inspected. In addition, the contact mentioned that the key could be removed out of the ignition while the vehicle was in drive or reverse. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 118,000.
Van started shuttering at low speeds, 30-40 mph and bucking violently at 40 mph, seems the transmission is shifting between gears.i checked for a recall, but unfortunately, mine was not covered.
On friday 8/10/2012, when i was driving at 35mph, the check engine light and tcs light both came up, then at the stop light when the red turned green, the car won't accelerate much as i pushed the gas pedal, it goes very slow but the engine was running 4-5k rpm. It wen back to normal driving for a couple of days but the cel light is still on so i decide to go the dealer (kings honda in cincinnati, oh) on moday 8/14/2012 but it did the same thing again on the road, i had to stop the engine becuase it won't move and restart a few time in order to drive there (total about 4 miles). After the dealer checked it, they told me that i need a new transmission. I have never expected the honda transmission will go bad at this stage.
Car seemed to suddenly slow down when approaching stop signal.tried to pull away when light was green, but remained stationary after pressing on gas/accelerator three to four times. Finally was able creep along until i was able to steer into a bank parking lot.honda dealer diagnosed ;problem as faulty transmission due to overheated/burntout of solenoids.
Sudden loss of acceleration on the interstate mechanic looked underneath and mentioned the rear main seal on the transmission was leaking and it lost the transmission fluidonly option now is an approximate $5,000 replacement with re-manufactured transmission!!!!
2004 honda odyssey with 135,000 miles being driven on interstate when transmission failed completely with no warning. Was able to drift off interstate and roll to a safe spot. I understand transmission issues/complaints are high on these years of odyssey's. Currently being told the transmission will have to be replaced at an approximate cost of $3500.
I bought a honda odyssey ex about a year ago. The back doors began opening on their own as i was driving and wouldn't close. Then the transmission started leaking oil. I paid to get a diagnostics from the honda dealer ship which cost me 235.00. They said i needed to change the entire transmission. I bought it with 64km and now it has 70km. I've paid 5,500 so far and i still owe 10,000.
After complying with honda's maintenance schedule the transmission failed, even after taking it in for the recall in 2004 before it had 15k on it.i shifted from reverse to drive and the rpm's increased but the car did not move (yes the parking brake was off).i shifted it into park and after sitting for a few minutes i shifted it to drive and thankfully was on my way.while driving the car started to skip/stutter when the gears shifted.ultimately arrived at a transmission shop and was informed that the entire transmission needed to be rebuilt.
Received news from a local honda dealership that all 4 engine mounts were broken for a cost of $925.when looking for parts happen to see the amount of chatter regarding engine mounts on several model years of the odyssey.lesson learned... Perhaps check this site before buying any vehicle.seems honda should cover some of the cost at least.
Honda odyssey has transmission issues. They had a class action law suit against them and i had the appropriate warranty work done on it. It has now gone completely out. I'm under on the mileage for the extended warranty work, but over on the age. If you look on the internet, this is happening to a lot of people.honda either didn't fix the transmission issues or created new ones with the recall. Now the fix is a $5000 one.honda should be liable to fix this or a large part of it.
Drove the car in the morning and parked it...got back in the car and drove it and noticed the shifter was loose. I change the atf every 30,000 miles as recommended by honda and used honda atf. Drained and replaced; not flushed. Took the car to an atra certified shop to diagnose the problem with the shifter. The shop said that either the spring on the detent ball or the pin holding the rooster comb onto the manual shaft is broken. Recommended that i stop driving the car because of safety concern. Recommended replacement with rebuilt transmission.
The transmission failed completely. A day earlier the tcs light lit up and the check engine light lit up. The very next day, while driving at about 40 miles there was a slipping sensation and then within few minutes the car started slowing down and pressing gas pedal had no effect in moving the car forward.with two kids in the car, thank god, i wasn't traveling on the highway. I couldn't imagine if this would have happened on the highway at 70 miles per hour with bunch of cars and trucks behind me. I was traveling in the local roads while this happened.i had called honda customer service, and they mentioned that there isn't any recall or extended warranty for my vin. They also indicated that they are not aware of any transmission problems with those vehicle and requested me to take it to the dealer. I had it towed to a mechanic and the he took a look at it and said it is a transmission failure - pure and simple. Honda has indicated that this is a simple wear and tear issue and that they cannot help any further. Other than opening up a case [xxx] honda customer service hasn't helped much.looking at various auto forums, the transmission problem seems to be the number 1 problem for the 2nd generation (and even some 3rd generation) odysseys with engine mount problem tailing close as the number 2 problem. Despite all this, it is surprising that honda seems to be unwilling to do anything about. It.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning light illuminated.

This is the 2nd transmission that is failed, honda has refuse to pay anything. They claim that there transmission has no problem but after google i find that they have a class action regarding this problem. I want assistance in this problem i will not afford another $ 3000 to fix it. The first transmission failed at only 79000.00 miles now this one failed only 103093 miles.
Our honda odyssey's transmission failed under very scary circumstances---with my wife and disabled son attempting to merge onto a highway.as she tried to accelerate, the van's engine revved, but the transmission did not engage----leaving the van coasting into traffic.thankfully, she was able to leave the roadway just before a vehicle that was approaching from behind would have made impact.she and my son were very lucky.prior to this incident, the transmission was not exhibiting any kind of shifting problems. In doing some research, i found that this is a known design flaw problem.
Transmission slipping while driving on city street - transmission needs to be replaced
While on a sales trip 180 miles from home--experienced chugging betweens gear shifts 1-2, and strong slippingbetween 3 and 4.drove directly to the nearest honda dealer. Transmission diagnosed as clutch failure from codes by honda dealership mechanic, after test driving and reading codes.indicated it is still drive-able, if one is careful.limped home with extreme care during acceleration. Drove approx. 50 miles to oh turnpike. While driving on the ohio turnpike, experienced quickly deterioratingpower during slight prolonged incline-- which led to complete, 100% failure within 2-3 miles.was leftstranded on the berm to be towed home.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While driving various speeds or while parked, the engine would suddenly rev to over 5,000 rpms. The vehicle accelerated without warning. When this occurred, the brake pedal was depressed to the floor and the vehicle failed to stop immediately. The contact stated that the vehicle was currently unable to shift from park. The failure occurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 178,000.
While heading down the interstate at 70 miles an hour the transmission just went away.after researching the issue i found out that honda has had several issues with the transmissions doing just that and say they have fixed it.however, in my opinion it has not been fixed.as i was sitting along the highway waiting for a tow truck as semi after semi went past shaking my van, i think they should take another look at the issue.

Roughly 3 weeks ago when putting the van into d it would hesitate before engaging.the delay became greater and then it started slipping between 2nd & third gears.three days ago the transmission completely disengaged while driving.i turned thevan off, started it again & it drove for nearly .5 miles only to stop again.at this point i have been told i need to replace the transmission & have found a litany of information about the faulty honda transmission.
Was driving normal then car stalled and started reving very loud and jerking when pushing on gas while the d for drive was lashing even when put ino park the d still flashed blue was reading about problem and it sounds like transmission failure
Second owner. Transmission replaced by honda in 2006 at 55,000 miles for noted gear overheating recall in sarasota, fl. Current mileage is less than 90,000 miles later. Transmission regular maintenance completed and a firmware update was done in 2009 at 120,000 (65,000 on new tranny) miles.transmission now downshifts very hard (hard shift) from 3-2 when coasting downhill or if the brake is slightly applied when coasting downhill.honda technicians stated normal operation to allow for engine braking.new firmware caused the change.q4 2012 transmission now shifts from 1-2 in about 3 seconds, not slipping, but taking a long time to shift and prevents acceleration during this delay.could prevent accident avoidance with long delay.honda technician states normal operation and included in firmware to reduce damage due to recall.note these issues are on the supposedly "fixed" transmission.series of data suggests that the recall repair did not solve transmission failure problem, but was a band-aid in combination with firware updates to "buffer" 2nd gear manufacturing defects.i do not believe the transmission will survive to 100k miles, but has received excellent care and repairs.safety issue is the inability to accelerate during 1-2 shift delay and unexpected engine braking during downhill coasting which could trigger rear-end accidents (note no brake lights when it occurs).i believe in honda and they should do the right thing and provide lifetime transmission replacements due to the safety concerns with their products that are well-known and documented.
Originating in portland, or to l.a., california, our vacation was abruptly interrupted 30 miles north of bakersfield with some smoke coming out of our engine. We decided to pull over for safety and upon disembarking noticed from fluid dripping from the driver side area of the engine. We were towed to a honda dealership in bakersfield and after spending the night came back the next morning to the dealer and was told that my transmission on my 2004 honda odyssey was out of commission and that it needed to be replaced. I have been a loyal customer of honda since the 80's, as my other family members, and never had we experienced this type of catastrophic event(having to pay $4000.00 to replace the transmission) during our family vacation. I am the original owner of this van and (from 2004), i never have ireceived any recall or communication from the honda corporation about the transmission. I always changed my fluids and had it maintained. If i would've knownabout the transmission issue, i probably would've avoided using it for such aslong journey. I contacted the honda corporation office in california but they disregarded it as just a misfortune. I asked for reimbursement or some type of reimbursement but they denied my plead.
I was driving down the highway at about 70 mph when the van suddenly quit pulling. It felt like it had gone into neutral, because the engine would rev but the van kept slowing down. I was lucky enough to have enough momentum to allow me to pull onto the shoulder of the highway. This could have ended very bad. I had 3 young children in the van, as we were going to spend the thanksgiving holiday with family. So we were several hours from home and no way to get to our family or back to our house. It was a scary ordeal for my and my children. When we finally got the van towed home and to a shop, we were told we were going to have to replace the transmission. We were also told this particular make/model/year is notorious for having the transmission go out. I contacted american honda this afternoon. I was told they could not help me with any cost of a replacement transmission. I was also told my complaint stopped with the customer service rep i was speaking with, but my claim is available to the engineers in case they want to see if my make/model/year has had any customer complaints filed.i asked him how they would even know to look for complaints if they weren't made aware of any complaints. All in all, i have a claim number for a complaint that will go no further than the customer service representative i spoke with over the phone. Very disappointing.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While driving approximately 25 mph, the gear shifter failed to shift into another gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 201,000.
The transmission jerks and shudders. I am losing confidence on the safety of this vehicle.
I was driving on the interstate using cruise control set at 70 mph and the engine started revving. I turned the cruise control off and saw smoke coming from under the front of the vehicle. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw smoke behind me. I pulled over to the shoulder safely. We had traveled 70 miles on the highway when this happened in 70 degree weather. I had it towed and was told the transmission needs to be replaced ($4,000), and that they saw metal chips from the gears chipping. I had no prior warning signs, no slipping of gears, no dash lights lit. There were 3 other passengers, including 2 small children.
Check engine light on; honda dealer talks about transmission issue and asking it to be replaced.replacement cost: $6500i heard that many other honda odyssey owners complaints about transmission problem and it has to be addressed that honda odyssey van is having critical transmission issue built between year 1999 to 2004. Transmission became defective with no reason, so much frustrated as vehicle has hardly done 100k miles.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the check engine and tcs warning light illuminated intermittently. The dealer diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
Vehicle went from 40 mph to less than 20 mph and would not go faster . Any attempt to accelerate only revved engine. Vehicle was towed and transmission was replaced...was inoperable,and only option was replacement not rebuilding. Vehicle maintained according to manufacturers specifications
Returning from short road trip (less than 30 miles from home), check engine light and tcs light came on.drove vehicle straight to honda dealership where it has been serviced for the last 8 yrs since we bought it.code p0740 internal transmission failure.attempted to drive vehicle to work the next day (5 miles from home), vehicle began shuddering, rpm gauge revved to 4,000rpm's yet vehicle was slowing.could put pressure on gas pedal but car would not go.couldn't reach any speed over 40mph.vehicle violently downshifted and couldn't exceed 20mph on busy interstate.barely reached work where vehicle rested.after resting, attempted to drive vehicle back home - had the same experience.vehicle unable to move from driveway, transmission is not in working condition.
Check engine light and tcs light came on while driving the van at highway speeds.the transmission shifts smoothly and sounds fine, but the repair shop pulled a code of p0740--tc clutch failure.the transmission is failing, and this is apparently a common problem with honda odysseys.while our transmission lasted longer than many odysseys' do, i think that transmission failure at 119k is unacceptable.
2004 honda odyssey. Consumer states vehicle had a transmission failure during a recent trip. Consumer states vehicle lost power(speed) while traveling. *tgw the consumer also stated the rpm's increased rapidly and smoke starting emitting from the vehicle.the transmission and oil cooler were replaced.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While driving approximately 35 mph, the gears began to slip and shift violently. The transmission then seized without warning. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road and towed to a transmission shop. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number 04v176000 (power train:automatic transmission) however the vin was not included in the recall campaign. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
It was thursday, early evening, and i was driving on a country road, approaching a stop sign, when the 2004 honda odyssey van's power cut out.the engine went dead in the middle of the road.it just suddenly cut off for no reason.i was able with difficulty to steer it to the side of the road.i turned the ignition "off" and called my husband thinking i might need aaa to come tow the car.after the van sat for a few minutes, i was able to get it to start again, but it sounded terrible and the engine's engagement felt weak.i was a few miles from an auto repair shop and decided to slowly drive it there and leave it overnight. I was told the next day that the transmission had failed and the mechanic mentioned that there had been a recall on my van of which i was unaware.i looked up the recalls on the nhtsa site that honda and issued and noticed that my van's vin number was in the range that had been recalled for transmission problems. I called local honda dealers about this as well as the honda corporate number.each said that even though my van's vin was in the batch that was recalled and even though the exact problem that i had experienced was the reason for the recall, they did not feel obliged to assist with the van's repair.neither the local honda dealer nor honda corporate would give an explanation as to why they felt they did not need to shoulder any of the transmission replacement costs. I believe this is against the law.can corporations like honda really get away with ignoring the law?after paying for a $4,600 transmission replacement, i do not have the money to fight them.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While the vehicle was stationary, it would not accelerate forward when the accelerator pedal was depressed. In addition, the vehicle downshifted independently on more than one occasion and the engine indicator illuminated without warning. A dealer was not made aware of the failures. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.
Two engine mounts failed at 82,600 miles.i understand it is a common occurrence on this vehicle.
As i was driving the car, the engine over revved but the wheels were not moving. I was on city streets making a turn - luckily i was able to coast to the side of the road without any incident but it could have been dangerous as the gears were not engaging. After i navigated to the side of the road, the car wouldn't move forward or backward on being put in gear. There was a smell of burning rubber - later i realized it was probably burning or overheated transmission fluid.on towing the car to the dealer, the dealer ran diagnostics and advised me that my transmission was damaged and needed replacement. For the past couple of days, the 'check engine light" and the "tcs off light" had been coming on and off occasionally. I had also noticed the vehicle not responding to accelerator pedal being pressed in a normal fashion.
20year old drove younger sister and teammate to soccer practice.on the rap of the expressway @ a speed of about 35-40 miles van hesitates to accelerate and jerks.cars slow down to let her merge so not to hit wall barrier.thought it was probably bad gas, only to find out 3 days later on a weekend trip to soccer tournament it was transmission.same thing happened @ the toll both, only to have tsc light and engine light to come on.stopped @ local honda service station only to find out needed a new transmission with only 11000 miles. Service manager said it was a known transmission problem.can't believe honda andnhtsa, would allow an accident waiting to happen that could cause potential death!the odyssey is a family car... Many young lives are at stake.
Engine mount is broken. Both side mount and front mount.
My transmission is making a noise, as of 3/21/13.i had taken it to transmission shop and it is ring and pinion and it is quite expensive so when i went to check it out on the internet came across that there was a recall on this model back in 2004 i was never notified and now it is costing me several thousands of dollars, if there is a recall on this i expect honda to pay for this not me.i love my van and bought it because of its dependability and reliability and now i am having a lot of problems with the van. I expect someone to contact me asap and honda to cover the cost.
Transmission failure occured when driving in rt 5 freeway past glendale and 134 junction, car was running in about 60 miles speed and came abrupt stop (loss of drive/pull in a very dangerous way). Managed to push it to breakdown lane. Then upon turning off the engine and after a while i could drive a bit to park in internal road. I then towed the car. Later, i drove in internal road. Same problem occurs.when placed in automatic drive (d) vehicle runs for few miles and suddenly fails to run and stops. Changing gear doesn't help. When ignition is turned off and on back again, it works again for a mile or two and shows same problem. When problem occurs, it doesn't move in any gears. Researching in internet, honda 2004 odyssey transmission failure occurring at 117,000 miles was reported all over the internet. As if it was programmed by honda, this mini van too failedat 117k miles. Some owners have claimed (including youtube videos) that honda is aware of this problem and have taken care of the repair at no cost. Some also claim that honda has secret warranty to cover this problem and had availed the repair free of cost.this is a know problem to honda. Honda must repair for free and do the justice to consumers. This is indeed fatal too.
My transmission went out.i have had my transmission looked at 3 times since may of 2011.i knew it was going but honda would not find anything wrong until my warranty was up.i feel that a transmission should last more then 80,000 miles.
While driving on the highway noticed the gear slipping with check engine and traction control lights on. The dealer said its a problem with the torque control clutch malfunction and the whole transmission needs to be replaced. Apparently there was a known problem with the honda odysseys built in 2002 to 2004. But according to honda my vin is not in that recall. It appears like the problem that is supposed to be fixed with the later 2004 models is not really fixed. Honda doesnt want to pay for any of these fixes.
At low speeds, approx. 20 to 40 mph, the vehicle has a shudder/rumble sensation thru the steering wheel and you can feel it whether you are driving or a passenger.this is an intermittent problem and does not do it all the time. I have never had the problem at speeds over 45 to 50 mph.i took it to a local honda dealer and of course they could not duplicate the problem and told me a transmission fluid change was needed.i paid $225. For an oil change and tranny fluid change and a 'diagnostic test drive'it didn't fix the problem.since that time of that repair, i have just lived with the problem and hoped for the best.it wasn't until i started reading online about how many other people are having the same problem with odyssey minivans.i hope you can help me get this problem satisfactorily repaired from honda.they are very well aware of this problem and apparently there was a recall on these minivans to fix this problem.i bought this minivan used from van's honda in green bay, wi in april of 2007 and i am unaware if my van was recalled.it wasn't recalled as long as i have owned it.
My 2004 honda odyssey experienced an automatic transmission failure in 2007 where the transmission would downshift while driving down the street at speed which would cause a dangerous situation if vehicle were behind you or if you were driving down a slick or snow covered roadway. The transmission was replaced at no cost to me by honda. On feb 6th the transmission failed again while driving down the road at 35mph. The transmission downshifted to first gear and would not up shift. The van was not able to go above 20 mph and there were vehicles behind our vehicle which created a dangerous situation due to the vehicle rapidly decelerating.
Was driving my "2004 honda odyssey" . I noticed my transmission kinda not wanting to change gears.and as time go by it changes fins. And than. "boom"i feels like some one hit me from behind. But when i lookno one was there..... And again the same thing..... And nowi hear clicking and clicking and than my car just comes to a screeching stop..... I see my engine light on and i see my tcs light come on. I call a tow. And before they arrive. I try and start and go and it works......i need honda to do the recall on its trannys asap.... I could have died and soo could have my children that was in the van....
My 2004 odyssey, with 77000 miles, experienced a transmission failure while driving on highway with no warning & no early indications of malfunction (slippage, engagement, etc), noticed tachometer revving higher than normal then lost of drivetrain power with engine still operating. Manage to exit highway and onto offramp before transmission disengaged from engine.the frightening thing was we coasted to a stop in a blind turn with vegetation hiding our position from other exiting vehicles ( sb i280 ocean ave exit, next to city college of san francisco). Serramonte honda service dept told me transmission no longer under original 60000 mile power train warranty & that he does not know of any transmission problems in the odyssey model. Internet search reveals transmission failures very common with many odyssey owners having to go through multiple power trains with no admission of design flaws for such premature transmission failures by honda.
Original owner of this vehicle and i've had to replace the transmission twice, the a/c system 3 times and starter. Numerous electrical problems with the doors and windows and recently had to replace the ignition switch that seized one afternoon.all service intervals have been followed as with my other vehicles that have had tires and fluid changes with no other fixes.the paint continues to flake off even after honda of concord, nc repainted half of the vehicle. 2 years ago. Vehicle has left my wife stranded on dozens of occasions along with the vehicle's 9th battery since 2004.selling this vehicle is not an option but replacing it is.it will not be replaced with another honda product ever and i caution anyone who is ever in the market for one of these vans to avoid them at all cost. The dealerships have been nothing but a nightmare to work with and would not cover any of the repairs i listed above.they are junk.
I stopped at a stop sign, then turned right and pressed the gas to accelerate.the van then shuddered violently and the wheels completely seized up.i could not drive or control the vehicle.the van skidded to a stop in the middle of the road.it was completely locked up and would not go into any gear, including neutral or reverse.i had my family exit the van but had to leave the van in the road.luckily, the police showed up quickly to make sure that the van wasn't hit.the vehicle had to be winched onto a flat bed tow truck as the tires were completely locked up.
The contact's wife owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the check engine indicator illuminated. While the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle accelerated at a low speed and then accelerated at normal speed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was then taken to robert auto mall (19 park lane, downingtown, pa 19335, (610) 269-8200) where the contact was provided a history report regarding the transmission. The manufacturer was notified and confirmed that there was no recall associated with the vin. The contact was provided case number: 06612914. The approximate failure mileage was 156,000.
My 2004 honda odyssey transmission was slipping between 2nd-3rd gears. Tcs, ck engine light turned on, and stuck in 2nd gear. I took it to the honda dealer second day and diagnosed it as transmission failure.
Failed/broken motor mounts. This appears to be a systemic low mileage failure issue on similar honda odysseys of this vintage. This is a safety issue.
I was driving on route 17 in bergen county, my tcs light came on. I noticed that my tachometer was elevated without any increase in speed. I had no forward motion and had to coast to the shoulder, numerous trucks and cars were passing by very close and the van was shaken as they went by. I tried turning off and starting the van to see if i could shift any gears when reset, there was no response. I needed to call 911 for an officer to get a tow truck for me. I was very happy to have his lights and presence as the road was dark and heavily trafficked. I was towed and informed it was the transmission, this situation was dangerous and after researching realized that the odyssey has a history of this problem!! this needs to be addressed so others will not be put in danger.
When traveling down the passing lane of a 4 lane highway in heavy traffic at 60 mph the vehicle suddenly lost power and began to slow as if the brakes were on.fortunately i was able to pull over to the side of the road without anyone running in to me.upon getting to the side of the road i noticed that the engine light was on.i put the gear shift lever into park and walked around the van to see if any fluids were leaking.none were.i got back into the van to see if it would move.it finally did after moving the shifter from p to d a few times but it did not have the power and did not shift correctly.the code that turned up on my mechanics scanner showed that the transmission had slipped and would need replacing.i called honda and they said there was nothing that they could do for me eventhough there has been numerous issues with these transmissions.the only recall they acknowledge was the fuel pump for my van.the outcome of the event could have been much more serious and i feel honda is just turning a blind eye to this.ifthis caused a serious accident i question what they would say after a lawyer gave them a call.they should have at least attempted to negotiate a deal for a new transmission.this will be the last time honda does this to me.i have owned many gm vehicles with more mileage and never had experienced a transmission failure.after spending over $3500 on a rebuilt transmission i don't believe another honda will be in my driveway!
Side and front motor mounts discovered to have failed at 59852 miles on 2/19/09 and had to be replaced. Now, 6/18/12, rear (transmission) mount discovered to have failed at 88000 miles and has to be replaced.normal family driving for vacations and around town only.no extreme conditions or roads.
Transmission failed causing me to on a side road with no pull off area. I could not get the van to move forward so i started drifting backwards. Had to have van towed to shop. I am oversea for the government and to get a new transmission from the honda dealer was 5000 pound and at the current exchange rate that is $8000 on a van worth $7000.00. We had all scheduled maintenance done on the van. We took it to a local shop and they replace the transmission for $3000.00. We need the van until we get back to the states then we will be taking it in on a toyota.not a happy honda owner!!!!!
This is in addition to my earlier complain---nhtsa id number: 10499643--indication of engine trouble did not give any advance information.indication must be an alarm for the driver so that he will take corrective actions.in my case there was no time available.it worked as failure indication only.all vehicle manufacturers be informed that alarm (trouble)indication should be a pre-failure alarm and should give some time to take corrective actions.hope you will take up the issue with manufacturers.
As my husband accelerated, the steering lost power. He could give the engine gas but could not manage the car. Somehow he was able to turn the car around and get the car back to our mechanic. He checked it out and determined that indeed the transmission had failed.
Check engine light on and tcs light flashing. Diagnosis code p0740 indicates: torque converter lockup malfunction.vehicle will not shift into the highest gear at freeway speed, shudders when accelerating at approx 20 mph and gas mileage has decreased significantly. Determined that there is internal slipping requiring a new transmission. Seatbelts do not retract and get caught in doors.several areas of body have midnight blue paint peeling.
I had all major services at honda dealer ( four wheels alignment at 95000 miles in 2012, timing bell at 100000 miles in 2012, oil transmission service at 109500 miles in 2013, alignment at 121000 in 2013). I bought extended warranty for 7 years or 100000 miles when i bought my car. During that time period and all services at honda dealer they did not advise any thing. Today i brought my car for air bag recall, alignment and oil transmission service, they told me that i need to replace all three engine mount cost approximately $1380. I was shock because it too expensive.i can not understand why engine mounts easy to break. I went home researching online and surprising to discover that a lot of people had same problem. I think this engine mount defected or design problem cause engine mounts easy to break (normally need to replace over 200000 miles) and honda needs to address this issue. Please advise me what i suppose to do because if engine mounts broke it going to effect suspension, balancing and alignment system etc... Thank you very much.best regard,updated 4/28/16
The contact owns a 2004 honda oddyssey. The contact stated that the shift lever became very loose and as a result, it would shift gears with the slightest touch. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that there was a defective part inside the transmission and the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 96,000 and the current mileage was 101,000.
I bought my 2004 honda odyssey with less than 79k miles.now with 107k miles the transmission fluid is leaking .
Backing out of my driveway in reverse then shifting into drive the odyssey would continue in reverse. Shifted into drive and the car wouldn't move. Shifted into 2nd gear and the car stated to move, shifted again into drive. Stopped at a traffic light and when i put my foot on the gas the rpm's went flying and the car wouldn't move forward.
I was driving on i-630 in little rock, in moderate traffic when the car suddenly lost power and would not accelerate.i was forced to coast through traffic to the side of the road withoutincident.as soon as i lost power, the lights on the dash flashed.if the traffic had been heavier, the outcome might not have been as favorable.the transmission failed without warning in the middle of the freeway.
I was driving to school, and the transmission was acting funny.i drove it approximately 30 miles to our dealership.luckily i made it.the highest speed i could go was almost 40mph.pulled into the dealership at 8:30a.m. And waited.was given the news that it was the transmission, and it was almost $6,000.00 to replace.they had me.didn't know what to do...and had to pick up kids at school at 3;30p.m.ended up sinking $40,000.00 into a new 2014 odyssey.boy do i feel taken!and then to find out there was a problem with honda transmissions from 1999.i do question the transmission of the one i am driving now....it shifts funny.my 2004 also always had a fuel smell.was concerned at times of starting it.we also paid to have the dash lights fixed....at our expense.didn't know there was a recall on that either......darn those dealerships!!!they got us on the transmission too!!
Transmission slips in 2nd gear with a slight load i.e. Going up a slight hill. If you accelerate the slipping/shudder goes away. Honda was not able to give me specific information as to the vin numbers affected by their 2004 transmission recall but could only tell me my vin was not one of them. There are many complaints about the second gear slipping failure when i searched online, the information i read stated that the issue was with oil flow to the second gear clutch assembly. It seems the 2004 recall should have included more vin numbers. My vehicle has high mileage now and is outside honda's assistance parameters but if there had been a recall maybe my transmission would not have failed.
The transmission failed upon entering the freeway.vehicle suddenly lost power and forced to pull over.almost rear ended by other cars also entering the freeway.honda odysseys are known to have transmission problems and this body style 1999 to 2004 are defective.from my readings a large quantity of the transmissions failed at 80,000 so at least we made it to 125,000 miles.i regularly changed the transmission fluid.spent $3200 at aamco getting it fixed.
2004 honda odyssey developed problems with the transmission.*mrthe vehicle was taken tot he dealer for transmission recall work.the dealer was unable to perform the repairs because the tools were not available.prior to a routine maintenance the vehicle's transmission was working find.after the maintenance the vehicle began performing erratically.the dealer claimed that he did not damage the transmission.the dealer offered the consumer a new transmission but they wanted her to pay for it to be delivered.the consumer refused stating the all recall repair are supposed to be free of charge, per the recall notice.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled while shifting gears. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic. After diagnostics, the mechanic noticed broken gears in the transmission and stated that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number 04v176000 (power train). The failure mileage was 179,000.
Was driving my "2004 honda odyssey" . I started loosing speedcontrol.at times it failed to start after stopping. And again the same thing..... And now i hear clicking and clicking and than my car just comes to a screeching stop..... I see my engine light on and i see my tcs light come on. I reached auto repairer nearby.cost me $ 566 but failed again within one hour and now advises to replace power train at $3500 additionally???? my certified additional coverage is 100000 miles or 7 years which expired on 08/05/2011. Time-limit of 7 years with the guarantee is unfavorable to drivers with less mileage. I am unemployed. I need honda to do the recall on its trannys asap.... I could have met with accident.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the transmission seized. The vehicle could be driven but could not be shifted into any gears.

Transmission quit working, no power, mechanic states that it is totaly shot & needs replacement, or rebuild.
Driving on the highway florida to illinois at apx 65-70mph,without warning vehicle looses power, almost to a crawl, smoke bellowing out behind the car. Diagnosed as transmission failure.honda dealership states vehicle is not cover by warranty or recall. Dealership could replace tranny at a cost over $5k. Opted to install another odyssey trans independently.this failed in less than 1k miles.opted to then have original transmission independently rebuilt with genuine honda's oem parts and specification with honda dealership consult.worked fine for appx 26k miles then torque converter burned out again.replaced and repaired torque even solenoid but less than 8k mi tranny failed again.all these happened in less than one year and 30k miles. Bill kay honda dealership still saying car is not involve in recall/suit and out of warranty.previously i complained at planet honda about a jerk/thump when increasing speed between 10-40 and dealership states they 'could not duplicate the problem'.vehicle is still down and honda and their dealerships are still screwing it's customers. Ps:had 2002 odyssey that was on its way out with similar problems but it crashed.also, have a 2001 civic with same transmission failuresitting for the least 3 years with onlyabout 100k on it! shame on you honda!!!
While driving for 2 hrs, the transmission started to rattle and begin to lose power almost driving me in to a fatal accident while driving on a freeway. After opening the hood there was transmission fluids all over the transmission. Honda refused to acknowledge the on going problem with transmission failure.
Driving on highway on 11/15/2014 way to work around 65 mph and suddenly felt a jerk as some one hit from behind, looked around and keep driving felt jerk again and speed of vehicle came down pulled car to the side. Stopped the engine for few minutes and started the car again put gear in drive and car is moving very slowly even giving enough gas. End of calling tow truck and towed car to close by dealer. Dealer called me today 11/15/2014 to inform there is a transmission failure and need around $6000 in repairs.
I was driving my 2004 honda odyssey on the highway when all transmission gears stopped working. I am the original owner and the odyssey was very well maintained. It costs $4000 to rebuild the transmission and $500 for a rental vehicle. Honda odyssey stinks!!!
Total transmission failure.no warning signs.one second moving just fine, next nothing. No power.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The alternator wires burned up and the transmission slipped, which caused the vehicle to stall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
Never had any problems with transmission in the past. I was driving on the highway at 70 mph when, without any warning, the transmission failed. The car was undrivable and began to overheat. There was transmission fluid all over. Had the vehicle towed and had transmission rebuilt for $1500. Since the rebuild, the transmission has failed 3 additional times.

While driving 35mph on a city bridge, the engine lost power, then revved.the symptoms repeated the next day.my wife was unable to control the van when the problems occurred. We took the van to our honda dealership and were informed the transmission had failed.our 2004 odyssey has had all required factory maintenance performed by the dealership we purchased it from.at 95,000 miles we had the recommended 105,000 mile service to include a transmission flush and inspection.there were no problems prior to the service and the service showed our van was in excellent condition.honda warranty had expired, i was told by honda of america that transmission service life was approximately 100,000 miles.nothing in the owners manual indicates that.after paying $1000 for the service we are now faced with a $6300 bill for a new transmission. Given the price ofthe van and routine service, this is unacceptable, as is the safety concerns for a transmission catastrophically failing just after a service and inspection produced nothing but a van in excellent condition.
Transmission failure began with whining noise.took the vehicle into the dealership for diagnosis and tranny oil change.they reported back that the tranny was failing.the oil change only made the problem worse.tcs and check engine light came on, slipping, revving with no movement at a stop.i ended up having vehicle towed to a shop and the tranny was rebuilt.cost was $2,668.75 with tax.
I purchased this vehicle from a honda dealership used 4 years ago with 104k miles on it for $10k.i'd had it inspected by the dealership and it received a clean bill of health.i've driven this car for an additional 40k miles and had the transmission fail with my 3 toddler boys in the car on the way back from a soccer game (quite frightening).i'm now being told that it will cost $5k to repair!and now that i'm looking further into this car, it's clear that there's ongoing transmission issues that honda has not addressed.shame on honda.
Total transmission failure.
Transmission system failed at 90,000 miles. I have done all services at regular intervals and all major services from the dealer. Just before this breakdown, i had my 90k mile service done at the dealer and everything was reported fine.
Nhtsa recall 04v176000 does not include our vin, but it should, because this is the problem that has occurred with our vehicle 3 times now. The transmission has overheated and failed. And according to 04v176000, transmission overheating is a serious hazard that can cause loss of control of the vehicle!!! the first time it happened, i was driving on a 2-lane highway. The second time it happened, my wife was driving it on hwy 80 towards reno. The 3rd time it happened, she was driving at about the same place i was, on 41 north. It always happens on a medium to long trip going up an incline. Others have reported this as well, so much that there is a site dedicated to this very problem -- odysseytransmission.com. If you visit this website you can see the definite difference in proportion of complaints for the earlier generations vs the later. It appears there is a design flaw that causes fluid flow constriction during torque converter lock, which results in overheating. In the last incident, as described by my wife, she was driving up 41, and the engine went up to around 4000 rpm. The car slowed down and she smelled transmission fluid burning. She had to wait on the side of the road for a while, and then it started to work again. She got it to a safer place and then let it cool for longer. She was able to get it to go home, which was a couple miles away, and we have not driven it since. We had this transmission rebuilt by shaws auto sales 2 times. The most recent time was less than 1 year ago. We have not done any abnormal driving, or any towing, or anything. Just normal driving. So we expected the fix to last longer than this. Sound like a reasonable expectation? we have been lucky that we didn't lose control of the vehicle. But others might not be so lucky! this vin and others like it should be included in 04v176000.

Had car towed to local honda dealer and we were told we needed a new transmission at a cost of $4,800. We bought honda for reliability and were very surprised transmission would need replacing at 148,000 miles. Also had both electronic side doors replaced in 2012, both doors stopped working within the same month.
The car was in drive and it didn't want go anywhere while it was in motion. Very scared for my family it was unsafe i saw honda has a recall on the transmission but they told it isn't for my car i want to add my vehicle into that recall its not fair that my vehicle is under that but it say from models 2002-2004 and mine is a 2004 so it should be under that.

Engine light and tcs light came on, gears stopped shifting at high rpms. Soon, transmission would not engage at all. Car failed to move on a busy freeway overpass exit. After several minutes with the engine off, i turned it back on and hobbled in first gear off the overpass. Mechanic said it was typical of 2004 odysseys to have transmissions fail. Cost of repair far exceeds blue book value of car.

While returning from texas to arkansas, my transmission had a complete failure on i-20 south of dallas.there was no warning, no indicator lights, no sounds.the engine tach redlined and i was able to cross 2 lanes of traffic with no power whatsoever.the car began smoking from hot transmission fluid.when i stopped, i noticed fluid covering the inside of the front wheel wells.i had it towed to a nearby honda dealer and was told i had a total transmission failure.there were no computer codes recorded by the vans computer.my bill to have it replaced was $4,200.00.i also had to pay for a tow, a rental car to return to little rock and an airline ticket to return to dallas to recover my van.this car was purchased new by me and has always been serviced by honda.
When parked i tried to start it and it did not start.the mechanic stated that transmission was damaged by particles in it or over heating.needs a replacement at $4400.honda was contacted but they offered no help.my vin is just slightly outside the transmission defect group 5fnrl18..4b000001 to 5frnl18..4b051620 (honda recall service bulletin 04-021)."d" light either flashing or off...even after trans flush.same symptoms as recalled hondas.i believe that the recall should have been a larger group...ie including my van and maybe it would still be working today if it was recalled!
Automatic transmission broken down
Driving on the freeway and the internal brake system light come on indicating thatwas any back brake lights, then while driving the vehicle stop going forward light the transmission went into neutral and then the tcs indicator and the engine light come on and then the 2004 odyssey stoppedmoving without any indication at all as i was driving in high traffic on a california freeway at approximately 7:30am on my way to work. I am told that there was a recall on these models and that i would cost me over $3,200.00 out of picket to fix and then, (i was told to take the vehicle to honda for recall repairs, because it is still under the recall static and honda has never fixed this problem. At the time i bought this vehicle from the dealer i wasn't told that there was a recall on these odyssey's and there wasn't any defeats reported on the vehicle fix sheets.
Check engine light came up right after a recent refuel and we pulled the vehicle on the side and checked the manual. We tightened the fuel cap but the light did not go away. We took it to the dealer to get it checked up. Upon diagnosis the deal told us that the transmission has gone bad and needs a total transmission replacement. Got a second opinion from two other auto repair shops and they confirmed what dealer said that the transmission has gone bad and needs replacement.
We used honda odyssey [2004] daily for commuting (never towed anything and don't haul anything). The car would start moving and all of the sudden would stop moving forward. The car was suddenly stuck immediately after crossing the intersection. I was not able to move the car in any direction and stuck on the road. On duty police officer informed that i need to move the car as early as possible because it is a safety issue. He wanted to call the towing truck, but at that time i tried shifting from to park and back to drive it would move forward for few hundred feet and again same thing no forward motion. At that time i was on down the hill and so able to pull the car near one business park. Later, i towed the car to near by shop and found transmission failure. Honda motor company refused to do anything. When i found recall for the same issue, honda motor company said that there is no recall on my car. Honda dealer is charging $5,600 to fix this.8tr
I have a 2004 honda odyssey, original owners, and we have maintained this vehicle immaculately.i noticed the transmission lagging and not going into gear immediately.i took it to our local dealer and was told that my transmission needs to be replaced.the mechanic said that this was a "young transmission", meaning it shouldn't have gone out so soon.after researching this on the internet, i have found so many articles related to faulty transmissions with the honda odyssey and can't believe that honda hasn't owned up and stood behind their vehicles. I can honestly say that honda is no longer on my list of reputable companies.
My wife was driving home late at night when all of a sudden the check engine light and tcs light come on in her 2004 honda odyssey.the van begins to slow down until it will go no faster than 5 mph.pulling to the side of the road, she turned off the van then restarted it.she was able to get the last few miles back to our house luckily, and we brought the vehicle to a shop just up the street since it could not make it much further.it turns out the transmission needs to be replaced.the shop called honda, knowing there had been a recall on the 2004 odyssey transmissions, but honda claimed that it did the work for the recall and had no further responsibility.i am extremely dissatisfied with this.to know there is a problem with a transmission, "fix" it with a recall, and still have problems with it on a vehicle with under 100,000 miles is unacceptable.i've owned hondas in the past and never had a problem like this.matter of fact, i've never had a problem like this with any car i've owned, no matter the manufacturer.my wife and i purchased a honda minivan because it is supposed to be safe.but to have the vehicle stop working with no warning due to a transmission that honda is aware is faulty is as far from safe as you can get.i'm just thankful she wasn't on the highway when it went out.
While making a turn from a stop light, i noticed the green "d" drive light flashing. I contacted dealer who stated the transmission was about to fail and needed to be replaced. The mechanic stated that the transmission was noted to be "shifting heavy" into second gear and making a "clunk" sound when shifting. Despite being outside of the transmission recall, honda agreed to pay for 1/2 of the repair cost after multiple complaints to corporate. The new transmission came with a 3 yr/36,000 warranty. About 12,000 miles later, the "d" light again began flashing.i took it back to the dealer who replaced the second transmission with a third. I find it interesting that the mechanic noted the problem in second gear, the same gear affected by the recall that i was not a part of. I believe the problem probably affected many more cars than were included in the recall and i was forced to pay thousands of dollars to repair a known problem. I do not have a hitch and have never towed anything with this vehicle.
There is an epidemic of honda transmission failures. We bought a 2004 honda odyssey. Almost immediately after buying the car, with just 34k miles on it - it developed a periodic shudder in the lower gears. We did not recognize this as a potentially big issue until many miles later we could no longer manually downshift the transmission. When we took it in the hondanorth -at 67k milesyoung - for , the list began with the need for new engine mounts, new heat shields for the catalytic converter and ended with a new torque converter. So much for that honda quality. Since then, with a second review, hondaamerica has continued to refuse assistance for the torque converterthat will cost $2325, this despitea government recall of 2004 odyssey the nhtsa, has some 570 transmission complaints from owners of 2003 4 honda accords. There are just over 700 transmission complaints from owners of 2002 4 odysseys.according to the executive director of the center for auto safety, [xxx], of the 267 transmission complaints the center received in the second half of 2010 alone, 169 were from honda or acura owners. A number of the complaints filed with nhtsa recount mechanical failure that created very serious danger for the families involved.a year ago, we all witnessed the long failure of toyota to come clean about the accelerator issues. Now there is an epidemic of honda transmission failures. When will honda and our government officials pay attention?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After reading an article on october 6, 2012 by reuters "government investigates honda pilot,odyssey rollaway risk", i realized that is exactly what is happening to my 2004 honda odyssey.many times after coming to a complete stop and after placing the gear shift arm into 'park', the vehicle does not register that the vehicle is in 'park', however i am able to remove the key from the ignition.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that she was able to remove the key from the ignition without the vehicle being secured in park. The vehicle was still in drive when the key was removed.

The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or repairs. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 103,000.
Shift car onto gear d and it does not move. After a good 6 to 8 seconds in gear it will move forward.also while driving about 35to 40 miles per hour transmission shift erratically.
The transmission is completely shot on this 2004 honda odyssey.no warning signs at all.$3000+ worth of repairs.there was a recall on 2004 odyssey transmissions for 1.1 million of them, but my vin doesn't happen to fall in that category...
I parked my car, removed the keys and exited the vehicle.once outside, the car began to roll backwards and i pushed against it to hold it from rolling into the car parked next to me (the front wheels were turned).i re-entered the car and shifted it into park and applied the parking brake.
The vehicle while driving home in the evening at 25 mph on the local streets, the check engine light and the tca light came on. The next morning while driving the vehicle to the local mechanic only the check engine light stayed on. Mechanic concluded after all the diagnostic as code p0730 and there is a lot of wear, shredded/chipped clutch/gearbox particles in the transmission fluid, which needs new tranmission costing about $6500. Researching this further online: found that numerous honda odyssey had the same issue where they had to replace the transmission. The vehicle is very well maintained and gets all the required and recommended service, and never had any major issue with this vehicle. We are over 18 years of honda owners and are very satisfied with them so far. Though now very disappointed and upset with honda as they claim to be a very reliable and sturdy automobiles.
Transmission burned up while driving home for the holidays. Merry christmas honda.
Shifting car into gear (d4) from parkit does not move,although after a few minutes in gear it will move forward
Car stopped going into gear check engine light came on d started flashing and tcs light came on car would keep hesitating into gear and finally just would not move.typical problem for honda odyssey as i just found out by class action suit and many complaints on line.but when i call honda they say this car has never been recalled for any transmission defects.picture that it is amazing how many problems they have had and continue to have but they do a good job keeping it quiet.this is very dangerous and i am sure expensive problem for them that is why they wont admit to any defects.since this is costing me 3500 to get a jasper transmission with 3 year warranty.will not buy a honda again.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that drive 1, drive 2, drive 3, and the reverse gears failed to work without warning.

Wife was taking kids to an air show. While merging into traffic on i95 the car would not shift out of gear at 40 miles per hour. The car began to shake, shudder and produce loud noises. My wife had to pull the car out the traffic onto the side of the road. She was able to safely exit i95 at the next exit.since then the car has been diagnosed with complete transmission failure.
Had noticed recently that when switching gears the van "jumped" and at highway speeds seemed to vibrate/shake.then the engine light came on.after much investigation, the diagnosis was the transmission needed to be replaced.when the transmission was being worked on it was also discovered that all of the mounts had to be replaced as well.the maintenance schedule had been followed completely so this was a complete shock -- at least until i started doing some research, saw the recall notice of over 1-million honda odyssey transmissions (however my vin # didn't come up!) and saw just how many transmission complaints there were from other owners also not part of the recall.because the dealership was way too expensive, i chose my recommended local aamco shop to do the repairs.called honda and was told there would be no "goodwill" claim because (a) the dealership did not do the repair and (b) the transmission is only warrantied by honda for 36/36,000 (no wonder!!).however, the dealership had told me that honda rarely provides "goodwill" claims and if they do, i'd be lucky to receive $400, so considering the dealership was over $2000 more for just the transmission work, i couldn't risk having the dealership do the repair to later find out that honda would reject a "goodwill" claim.
While traveling approximately 40 mph, warning lights came on and transmission simultaneously began bucking, slipping, grabbing, racing, making vehicle undriveable. Car towed for repair. Dealer confirmed that transmission failed and needed to be replaced, $6,000. I ended up replacing transmission with a third party transmission, as i learned that such failures of honda transmissions are very common. As car was out of warranty and honda refuses to acknowledge the prevalence of this problem, they offered no assistance.

On saturday february 5, 2011. While my wife was driving from columbia,sc to augusta,ga. Our minivan started acting up our tcs light came on in the vehicle, and my wife stop on the side of the road and a gentleman from dot help her get the van on the road it seemed like the vehicle slowed down to aprox. 20 miles per hour granted my wife is on i-20 westbound, and for no reason what so ever or signal the vehicle stalled. The gentleman was able to get my wife on the road again,but about 20 miles later the vehicle accelerated and my wife was not able to control it, fortunately the vehicle decelerated by itself, but the transmission went out on the vehicle. This vehicle is a 2004 with only 112k miles to me this is absurd. Now i see that honda has been having problems with this transmissions since 1999. I think honda should be liable for putting such a crummy product out in the market. Fortunately my wife wasn't hurt but it shook her a bit. Now we are stuck with a bill for $4100, for defective transmission that honda has knowledge of. Hope some action is taken against honda since they are putting people at risk on the road.
2004 honda odyssey lurched backwards while in idle then accelerated out of the garage.*mrthe consumer contacted the dealership who told the consumer their best guess was that the gear was stuck between park and reverse and eventually popped into reverse.

My 2004 honda odysseyminivanexperienceing problems with my automatic transmission while iam driving it is unsafe i bought this vehicle for my family i rely on this vehicle i got no help from the dealership i bought it from and the warranties were lousy the customer service as well please help .
Good evening, i am filing a complaint against american honda motor co. Last year, the manufacturer failed to remedy the ongoing automatic transmission recall 04v-176. Braman honda in miami, florida did not inspect the transmission as requiredand lied on their work order that the transmission is bad. The service department took 7 hours with my van. Please see attached. My transmission was in working condition when it taken to the service department last year.i am currently experiencing the issues that the recall warns that may happen due to the ongoing gear issues. Last week, while i was driving on the highway, my van's transmission locked up and i almost had an accident. Fortunately, i was able to drive it home safely. I rely on my van for work therefore this matter is affecting us financially. My wife recently called the manufacturer's recall hotline and spoke with lisa. The rep advised that i will have to tow my van and pay out of pocket, for the service department to evaluate this issue. Since the manufacturer failed to remedy this recall last year, i am requesting the following: i would like for an engineer or mechanic to be dispatched to our home and check the transmission. Once the matter is assessed, then i can pay out of pocket for my vehicle to be towed to a nearby authorized honda dealer for service. Lisa explained to my wife that there is a 50/50 chance that this transmissionrecall issue will actually be repaired which is unacceptable. I currently live in florida which is the third state with the highest amount of covid-19 cases therefore this would be the most feasible option. Last year's case with the manufacturer was closed prematurely even though my wife advised it was still ongoing. With that said, due to braman honda's negligence, i am currently without a vehicle since it is unsafe to drive it in this condition. Thank you.

Never had any problems with transmission in the past. I was driving on the highway at 70 mph when, without any warning, the transmission failed. The car was undrivable and began to overheat. There was transmission fluid all over. Had the vehicle towed and had transmission rebuilt for $1500. Since the rebuild, the transmission has failed 3 additional times.

Transmission failure in 2004 honda odyssey. Mileage 75000,bought new from dealership,maintained by dealer. Was shocked when news of transmission failure was broken. Repair estimate 3900 this also include the computer which is peculiar with this 04. Still talking with honda america on how they can help .
We have a 2004 odyssey and it's transmission has started slipping in & out of gear. When this happens the vehicle is very hard to control and we have been very cautious (and not driving it) to prevent accidents. Honda knows they have a massive transmission problem, of the same magnitude as the toyota acceleration concern, but they will not fix it.
Van shakes horribly after reaching 60 mph and is really bad from around 70 mph.taken it in at least 3 times for the same thing and it is still not fixed.they changed out tires and balanced but to no avail.
I was driving and my van started kind of jerking and then it would not accelerate.my tcs (traction control system) light came on.i was merging on a major highway in peak rush hour traffic and my van stopped on a curve.my child and i were almost killed by a semi that just about rear-ended us but instead drove into another lane, about hitting another car.the van was running, but would not drive or go in reverse.the dealer told me it is the transmission and it would be $4,000 to repair.i saw on-line that many, many other people have had the exact same problem with the honda odyssey transmission.i am currently getting a second opinion.both the dealer and american honda told me that there are no problems with the honda odyssey transmissions in the year my van was made, which i do not believe is true.both refused to help me and did not tell me that there had been recalls regarding honda odyssey transmissions and that there have been many problems just like mine.
During the week of march 1-5, 2010, my honda odyssey was showing signs of slippage when going from one gear to other, however the problem was transient. I was on vacation at deep creek lake, maryland in the weekend of march 5-7 and was driving back from there on march 7 afternoon. I was on cruise at 55 miles per hour on us 219n, when coming over a small hill, the car suddenly violently shook and was revving up (rpm very high) trying to maintain speed of 55 mph and was unable to do so. I braked and got the car under control and without knowing much merged on i-70e headed towards home at baltimore, md. Driving for about 100 miles, i took exit at hagerstown, md to take gas. After taking gas, i wanted to head back to the highway but unable to continue that much further. The car would not move pressing on the gas pedal and finally had to call aaa towing to tow the car. Anyway, it is with hagerstown honda and the diagnosis is transmission failure and i need to shell out 3500k from my pocket. Transmission failure for a 2004 odyssey at 122k miles is absolutely unacceptable and american honda refusing to do anything to help me out. This car is apparently also not included in the recall list the honda had earlier this decade on some the odyssey models for the transmission problem. I think this needs to be investigated and recall expanded.

February 29, 2011: i own a 2004 honda odyssey with 136,961 miles. I loved loved loved my honda, until now. Tcs & check engine lights came on. Took to my local repair shop and they got the codes p0700at & p0740tc. They advised i take to the dealer because it was a transmission issue which they don't. Dealer said could find nothing wrong with transmission but battery was weak and timing belt & timing belt holder needed replacement. After paying $1200 i picked up the van and drove it home. The next morning the tcs & engine came on again. Took it back to the dealer. They said local repair shop must have erased the transmission coded when they check them and that is why they didn't see them and thought there was nothing wrong with transmission even though i told them there was something wrong with it. They said i will need a new transmission. I called honda america to file a case. They took my information and then told me there was nothing they could do to assist me. I asked to speak with a supervisor who told me the same thing. I don't know what to do. We are a one income family. I am a stay at home mom who takes care of her 92 year old grandfather who has alzheimers. We bought a honda because we have always loved how dependable they are and now i don't have a car. With so many cases of transmission problems, i can't believe honda won't back up their product. I can't afford a new transmission and have no idea how i am going to get my kids and my grandpa to school, doctors appointments, etc.
I have a 2004 honda odyssey with 111,111 miles and we currently live overseas in england. My check engine and tcs light came on five days ago and since then it has been down hill. It has trouble getting into reverse and now it is scipping really bad in 2nd and 3rd gear. I took it to thehonda and since it is us spec and has to ship the transmission from the states it will cost 7500 pounds and with the exchange rate it would be about 12000 dollars. We do not have many choices as they are not many shops that will work on american spec cars. We loved the van up until this all staredwe have to make the choice to get rid of the car as it is not worth that much. We are really in a bind as we are a family of six and this is our only transportation.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Transmission failure at 55,000 miles 2004 honda odyssey.
I purchaseda new 2004 honda odyssey in the fall of 2003. About a year later, there was a recall & the transmission was replaced with a new one. In the fall of 2009, the transmission failed & was rebuilt for $2800 through a independent shop. I had contacted the honda service department, but they would not give mea break on the price which was about 1k more. In march of 2011 the transmission failed again & had to be rebuilt for $2100. Although out of warrenty, the shop gave me a break on the labor charge. I bought a honda becauseof the reputation for quality. However, due to this ongoing transmission problem, i will not buy another honda.

2004 honda odyssey transmission slippage.went to multiple mechanics and was told the transmission, with less than 70k miles on it (and determined by two independent mechanics at 43k to be in great shape) was dead-on-arrival.i relied on that van for my wife and kids and, based on what i've seen with others, so have innumerable others.what would have happened to my family had they been stranded or had the transmission gone out on the interstate in traffic.please do something.
The van has made strange noises and gotten horrible gas mileage since we purchased as 'certified pre-owned' from honda dealer. We reported both to dealer and gotten no response but 'oh, well'. We have serviced the vehicle at the same dealership since purchased and followed all recommendations for service. The d light has been flashing at random for over a year, but each service appt they found nothing and just sent us on the way. At the last appt, they finally found a bad sensor that had been causing the light to flash (they said). We had them replace the sensor. We drove across the us to visit family. The tcs and cel came on and we took the car to a shop to have the code read. P0740. We called our dealer in or and they said it would probably make it back to or from al. 20 miles later the tranny died completely. My wife came within 10 feet of being flattened by a big truck due to lack of power or control. My wife and two kids were stranded on the side of the interstate. We had the van towed and honda dealership said it would be 2800-3k to fix. They called back a couple days later to say it was almost 3600.we have religiously serviced the van and never towed or hauled anything. We have complained for years to our dealer that there was something wrong with the van. We bought an extended warranty that covered everything up to 105k miles. We have complained since we bought the van in 2006 and honda only drove and said they didn't hear anything. We are now out 3.6k for the new transmission even though we have been calling it out for 5 years. The transmissions in these vehicles are weak and should not become a 4000 repair for consumers. The van has been cared for mechanically and we have done our part, but honda refuses to do anything. It is hard to believe that a transmission on any vehicle would fail this early. There are hundreds of other people with the same failures. There should be some action from honda to fix this dangerous condition.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5

Transmission failure and gear lockup.
When shifting up from a lower gear (from 1st to 2nd) most notably at low speeds, around 20 to 25 mph, the engine feels like it is revving higher than normal before shifting into the next gear.when it does shift, it shifts hard and makes a clanking noise.it feels as though the transmission is sticking, preventing it from changing gears in a normal fashion.i have not noticed it occurring at any specific time, it seems to happen at random intervals when driving at lower speeds.i have taken the van in for inspection and the technician could not recreate this problem.took van on july 08, contacted honda, the problem still has yet to be resolved.this is one of six problems i had to take the van in for.after having the van for two weeks, only two non-mechanical problems were partially resolved and one non-mechanical problem was resolved completely.
See nhtsa campaign id number :04v176000 outlining recall for transmission problems. We followed all recall instructions, serviced the vehicle regularly only through a certified honda dealer and now the transmission has totally failed, costing $4,800.
I had a long wait at a pharmacy drive up window so with the engine running, i put the shift in park and set the foot brake. On an attempt to move forward i put my foot on the brake pedal, released the emergency brake and attempted to move the shift lever from park but it was locked in the park position and would not move. I quickly looked in the owners manual and read the instructions on page 185-6 which described removal of a trap access door and inserting the ignition key to unlock the park condition. If i would have been in traffic and would not have had a pen knife i would never have been able to correct the condition. The trap door was almost indiscernible designed into the top of the dash above the steering wheel and difficult to even get the sharp blade of a pen knife in the crack to pry open. The service personnel checked my brake lights to see if they were working and they were ok. Apparently there is a relationship to the park condition. I ask what a woman is supposed to do if that were to happen and they had no suggestion. Why can't the controls be designed so all you have to do is remove the key from the ignition and restart the engine to unlock the locked condition. I can see this condition as a disaster on a jammed freeway. Putting a remedy in the drivers manual is not the answer to this rather perplexing situation, especially for non mechanical drivers with poor perception skills and in emergency situations.

Well . . . We have a 2004 honda odyssey and just hit the 103,000 mile mark and now the transmission problems have started.my husband was driving the car when the check engine light went on and then the car started to hesitate until it just wouldn't drive anymore.luckily, he broke down in front of a mechanic shop.code p0740 has come up meaning we need a new tranny.called honda 12/10 and again 2/11.we had it towed to the local honda dealer in hopes of having the vehicle repaired and getting assistance from honda for the transmission that has very publicly failed.we were offered a highly overpriced rate, ten had it towed to aamco and had it repaired for $1,000 less that the original quote with honda. The vehicle has been repaired through aamco transmission, with the final bill being $4700.29 .we're the 2nd owners on this vehicle and make car payments monthly.our loan is what's called an upside down loan, owing more in payments than the vehicle is worth.

2004 honda odyssey transmission failure.
I am very, very disappointed in the treatment i have received as a honda owner. I own a 2004 honda odyssey. The seatbelt randomly stopped working and they are refusing to fix it under the lifetime warranty. I have been driving hondas my entire adult life. Corporate made me jump through hoops to gather my registration information from 2000! they said if i could show loyalty to the brand they would fix it under the "good will program." they say the car was wreck before i bought it and that is what messed up the seatbelt. However, i purchase the car in 2013. It has been working for 5 years and then randomly goes out because of an accident more than 5 years ago?! where is the logic?!!!well, showing that i previously owned a honda accord wasn't good enough for corporate to correct their mistake, because i didn't have it serviced at a honda dealership. I was living in bfe mississippi at the time. How was that my fault?the honda dealership in rockwall, texas is a joke. They determined they weren't going to fix it right off the bat.upon further research, it seems honda skimps out on seatbelts. This is where they cut costs. I had never had a major problem with a honda up until this point. This isn't fixing something that is no big deal: like the speaker that fades in and out or the locks that don't always unlock together. This is my life they are playing with! it is disgusting!do not buy honda! i never will again. Toyota wouldn't treat a life long customer like this.

I am guessing that when i went to the car wash about a week ago, they lifted up the captains chairs, in the 2nd row, in my honda odyssey to clean. I didn't know that they had done this and checked my 2 year olds car seat to make sure it was secure but not the seat itself and drove away. Today i was driving on the freeway and had to slam on my brakes when my daughter, car seat, and captain chair flew into the back of my drivers seat. The captains chair was not secure. My daughter was just fine with a few cuts and bruises. I spoke to all of my friends to warn them about this and not a one would have thought of that as being and issue. You cannot see easily that the seat is not securely attached and because i had not touched the seat myself i didn't have any idea that they would be any issue. I know now that i should always check that but seeing as how none of my friends even thought about that either, i thought i should make people aware. It shocks me that so many safety features have been implemented but not on something as important as this. Please help me.

Driver sear failure broke and recurred again,5 months later. I had to pay out of my pocket. This is my second honda odyssey i got from this dealer. Up date driver seatbroke again.
Driver's seat has come loose and it is not stable when driving, especially when adjusted for different drives in the family.went to dealer and they said they don't fix that!!! moves side to side and stays on one side. Happens when driving, and when stopped.
Driver's seat turns into a rocker and reclined backwards towards the second row while in mid traffic.dealer says that the seat tray is broken and costs to the owner is $2500 to replace it.seems like a manufacturer defect and a safety issue since incident was not provoked and seats looks new. I noticed drivers seats in models post 2004 are designed differently, a one-piece unit instead of a tray+seat.believe manufacturer is aware of this issue prompting redesign of subsequent models.car is unsafe to drive with the driver's seat rocking and reclining.all other seats seem to be fine.
Bracket holding seat to body of vehicle snapped.appears to be manufactured incorrectly. Failure occurred while driving down the road causing the seat to suddenly jerk and fall.

The metal bracket that is riveted to the front driver seat securing it to the frame snapped.the bottom of the seat is loose and in a collision the seat would not hold the driver in a fixed position.
Driver's side (left) seat track assemble broken.seat rocks back and forth.i am the original owner and vehicle has been in no accidents.a search of forums reveals that this is a common problem and honda takes no responsibility for poor engineering. Tsb 02-059 per honda.

The weld for the drivers seat failed in my 2004 honda odyssey with 125,000 miles. No warning.my wife asked if it was safe to drive and the shop foreman at the honda dealer said it was safe for a while. Is a broken weld on a seat a major safety violation or at the least dangerous for my wife and daughters?
Our 2004 honda odyssey driver side seat broke from the bracket. The welds that hold the seat to the bracket broke causing the seat to start tilting and wobbling while we were driving down the road. This is a safety issue due to the fact that it is possible to loose control of the vehicle while driving increasing risk of collisions.
Our drivers side plastic mold has completely broken the seat frame has also broke causing this to be a huge safety issue.if i am rear ended, this seat will have no way to prevent me from being thrown backwards!the seat is wobbly and unsafe to drive!i have read many more complaints with this same issue!please issue a recall!
Driver seat bracket failure (metal fatigue) renders bottom of seat loose, not holding driver in fixed position.failure renders seat restraint system ineffective.dealership position is that failure is due to age, and will not replace at its cost.metal bracket is not rusted at failure location.pictures show stress fatigue due to riveting process.repair cost = $1681.current blue book value = $2475.cost for me to repair is excessive.other similar failures reported on internet since 2002.my position is that honda corporation is shirking its responsibility to manufacture a safe vehicle (that has been maintained) regardless of age.

Dt:2004 honda odyssey.the second row seat dislodged from the vehicle and tipped forward with consumer's daughter in a child safety seat.this happened when the consumer had to make a sudden stop.this seat had been in this spot for months.the dealership stated it was not latched correctly and they secured it.the dealership showed consumerhow to do this. She tried to latch the seat and could not get it in.she then took the vehicle back to the dealership, and the service department agreed that it would not go in.thenthey looked at another vehicle and found the same problem. The seat had to be dropped down very hard into place tomake it latch; this was not indicated in the owner's manual.the dealership originally statedcould visualize that itwas latched, but upon further inspection, there was no way to tell.
While consumer was entering inside of the vehicle placing the child on the second row seat the seat snapped backwardsand hit the child.this caused the child to hit the floor of the vehicle.no injuries reported. Consumer took vehicleto the dealer for inspection, and mechanic claimed that the vehicle was operating as designed.mechanic informed consumer that the seat spring lever was too forceful and needed to be replaced.

The brake pedal pushes almost to the floor before the van responds to braking. I have had multiple procedures done on the brakes by several mechanics and it has not fixed the problem. I usually pump the brakes when i am stopping because i don't have confidence in the braking system and by doing this, the braking system responds better. It happens at all speeds. I purchased this van used in 2008 and i noticed the mushy brakes at the time of purchase and was told that the brakes were fine. The dealer said hondas' brakes are known to be mushy. The brakes have gotten noticeably worse over the years.
The brake warning lamp can illuminate, indicating a low brake fluid condition, although no leaking brake fluid is visible throughout the system.a worn rear master cylinder seal can cause fluid to leak into the brake booster, which will cause diminished brake performance over time.there is already a recall issued for this same issue on 2005-2007 odysseys, but i believe it also applies to 2004 odysseys.
The brakes are way too soft! i almost hit a kid in my neighborhood when i could not stop as quickly as i should have going 30mph.i have to push the brakes all the way to the floor it is insane.i have had the brakes bled, new pads put in, new calipers put in and no fix has worked.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,950.
I have received many notices about several different recals
Braking is "soft" or brake pedal has to be pushed very low before brakes will engage. I have had this problem for about 2 years and had the brakes checked numerous times and no one can fix it.
Multiple failures. Brakes problem, transmission, rough idle & engine surging, steering column controls and others.the automatic door would not open or close, the transmission did not shift properly and the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.the brake pedalshuttered, the brakes would catch without being applied. The consumer was told the steering column control switch had a short, however the next day the horn honked and there was an odd noise in the steering column and the interior lights flashed multiple times.
While driving 65 mph consumer applied the brakes and brakepedal went to the floor. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and pulled over. Then, consumer noticed that smoke was coming from the passenger's side wheel.the driver had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection, and mechanicdetermined that passenger side brake padneeded to be replaced due to worn out parts.
Dt*: the contact stated the brake pedal of the vehicle started rocking left to right when depressed, even if the vehicle was immobile or at any speed.no warning light were illuminated prior to the incident.the vehicle was taken to the dealership who determined the brake pedal rocking movement was normal.the contact was concerned because it could be connected with other unnoticed safety problems.the manufacturer was not contacted.the sliding door actuator was replaced. The side door sepaker was replaced. Updated 12/01/06.
While applying pressure on the brake pedal to reduce the speed because the traffic was slowing down vehicle in front of me stopped abruptly. I applied more and more pressure on the brakes,and nothing happened. Vehicle was not stopping any faster. I did not pump the brakes since odyssey has abs and they did not kick in though i applied a lot of pressure on the brakes. I collided with the vehicle in front of me and airbags did not deploy.prior to this incident i was able to stop the car faster.
Their is vibration in the driver side rear view mirror. At 60 mph, the mirror, front seats vibrates. First time i took the vehicle to honda dealership, they said the wheel alingnment was out, second time they said the mirror is bad and replaced it. Third time they said they see the vibrations but cannot find anything wrong. They said they test drove 3 other vehicles with similar milage (13.5 k) and found that they all have the same problem. I called honda and they said that they cannot do anything about this.
The steering wheel locks and the ignition key will not turn when i insert it. This is the second time it has happened to me in as many months.
The van is going backward when you put it in drive and when you press it does not go forward it just revs up the gas. The car was in motion driving when it went from driving to reving the gas and not going forward.
As my husband accelerated, the steering lost power. He could give the engine gas but could not manage the car. Somehow he was able to turn the car around and get the car back to our mechanic. He checked it out and determined that indeed the transmission had failed.
Within one minute of getting into my car and driving my car, the front and side airbags deployed without any outside impact to the vehicle.my driving car speed at the time was approximately 30 mph.suddenly, there was a very loud pop noise, the airbags deployed and the horn blew, and there was alot of smoke.i quickly pulled the car over and we got out of the car.i opened the car door and a smoke vapor came out.i have a burn to my skin on my left hand.the passenger has chest pain.i have had recalls fixed before.....updated 10-27-15

It was thursday, early evening, and i was driving on a country road, approaching a stop sign, when the 2004 honda odyssey van's power cut out.the engine went dead in the middle of the road.it just suddenly cut off for no reason.i was able with difficulty to steer it to the side of the road.i turned the ignition "off" and called my husband thinking i might need aaa to come tow the car.after the van sat for a few minutes, i was able to get it to start again, but it sounded terrible and the engine's engagement felt weak.i was a few miles from an auto repair shop and decided to slowly drive it there and leave it overnight. I was told the next day that the transmission had failed and the mechanic mentioned that there had been a recall on my van of which i was unaware.i looked up the recalls on the nhtsa site that honda and issued and noticed that my van's vin number was in the range that had been recalled for transmission problems. I called local honda dealers about this as well as the honda corporate number.each said that even though my van's vin was in the batch that was recalled and even though the exact problem that i had experienced was the reason for the recall, they did not feel obliged to assist with the van's repair.neither the local honda dealer nor honda corporate would give an explanation as to why they felt they did not need to shoulder any of the transmission replacement costs. I believe this is against the law.can corporations like honda really get away with ignoring the law?after paying for a $4,600 transmission replacement, i do not have the money to fight them.
On 4/16/2010 my 2004 honda odyssey ended up in single car crash into hwy center divider injuring us and total loss of vehicle. We took quick turn from one lane to another to prevent accident and that made the vehicle out of control. What was scary is despite my repeated efforts to stop or bring it back to control, it ended up crashing. The insurance company is in the process of disposing it as total loss and i want to ruleout any vehicle defect. How can i help you?
This happened while finishing a right turn onto a short on ramp to the freeway.while holding the steering wheel with my left hand (right hand meanwhile moving to new position)and turning the steering wheel counterclockwise to straighten my vehicle again, the little finger of my left hand got caught between the airbag/steering column and the array of buttons for the cruise control (near the base where the gap there is larger). After turning the wheel a little bit several times while trying to free my hand, i realized i was in trouble: i couldn't straighten the steering wheel out without breaking my hand, and turning the steering wheel far enough to the right to free my hand would haveresulted in the vehicle leaving the road.so i gritted my teeth and yanked my hand out, leaving a long cut on the top/side of my little finger, but able to continue driving.looking at the steering wheel in the neutral position, i see that large space between the steering wheel and the airbag on the right side of the airbag (2 o clock to 4 o clock) comes to a narrower cone or pointed shape at the inferior end, so that while holding the steering wheel there with the left hand (thumb onthe outside of the wheel), the hand can slide down and get 'fed' intothe space between the cruise control buttons and the airbag area.i have been driving 22 years without accident or incident, most of them with honda vehicles, several of them with cruise control vehicles, and i haven't changed my style of driving,but this is the first time this has happened.
2004, honda odyssey- steering column busted, vechicle was unable to switch from drive to park, which leaves you in dangerous situation because you have a running vechile that you can not stop. For those of you have a similiar vechile it means the rear passenger doors do not open. This is not a good situation when you have your children in the back of a moving car with no way out. The 1st attempt at a honda service center was pleasant and the problem was thought to be corrected, however the 2nd time not so good. I was treated very poorly my situation was not handled appropriately. After 5 hours at a service center i had to bring my vechicle to another center simplyi am in the process of writing a letter to honda. I am very concerned about the saftey of my family.

I had all major services at honda dealer ( four wheels alignment at 95000 miles in 2012, timing bell at 100000 miles in 2012, oil transmission service at 109500 miles in 2013, alignment at 121000 in 2013). I bought extended warranty for 7 years or 100000 miles when i bought my car. During that time period and all services at honda dealer they did not advise any thing. Today i brought my car for air bag recall, alignment and oil transmission service, they told me that i need to replace all three engine mount cost approximately $1380. I was shock because it too expensive.i can not understand why engine mounts easy to break. I went home researching online and surprising to discover that a lot of people had same problem. I think this engine mount defected or design problem cause engine mounts easy to break (normally need to replace over 200000 miles) and honda needs to address this issue. Please advise me what i suppose to do because if engine mounts broke it going to effect suspension, balancing and alignment system etc... Thank you very much.best regard,updated 4/28/16
Paint is peeling over the whole body of the car.
About may 2013, i noticed the paint peeling from the area near the back windows. When i told the technician at honda roseville, he just said it waswear and tear. It can't be wear and tear in the upper frame of the windows. If it is not addressed soon, the paint will continue peeling up to the roof area. Through research, i have found several complaints about peeling paint on this model and color of vehicle.
Dear madam or sir,while driving, with two children seated inside on the back seats, my newly purchased honda odyssey suddenly flashed all the signals on the control panel/dash board, became almost non-maneuverable and abruptly stopped. This happened just after two months of purchase. My wife, who was driving the car, and the two children were in panic and scared not to speak of the trauma and inconvenience they underwent. It put my family in a very dangerous situation once and my family and i feel very bad and insecure about it. Fortunately this did not happen on a freeway or on any busy road otherwise it might have been disastrous for us. We do not want to be in same situation again and we have lost trust in this particular vans machinery due to the fact that it failed so early in its life cycle and more so because this failure was not of trivial nature. Had it been minor defects like malfunctioning of lights, indicators, ac not working, audio not working etc. We would have ignored.we were told that the computer system in the vehicle failed. As per dealership and american honda the van has been repaired but this happened so early in the life cycle of the supposedly new van that my family and i are afraid and hesitant of taking it on even local roads. As this poses a serious safety risk to the lives of my family and me and may be also others, i thought it to bring to your attention.my family and i appreciate your attention into this matter that is so important to us.
We have a 2004 honda odyssey and the driver's side sliding door will not securely close.it closes most of the way then, instead of latching, stays just unlatched and keeps the warning going off.i hear this is a common honda problem.i am concerned because my has to turn off the electric doors in order to drive the vehicle (even after bumping the door closed) and that (1) negates the warning feature and (2) makes the vehicle unsafe in my opinion because the doors do not function properly.
Took our honda odyssey van in for service with the local honda dealer.was told that we had broken motor mounts.dealer service center said that this is a common problem for this year/make/model and was a real risk to our safety if we didn't get it fixed.if it is such a risk, why is there not a recall?from looking at the number of complaints on this site, there are so many is it to numerous to count them all.
Side and front motor mounts discovered to have failed at 59852 miles on 2/19/09 and had to be replaced. Now, 6/18/12, rear (transmission) mount discovered to have failed at 88000 miles and has to be replaced.normal family driving for vacations and around town only.no extreme conditions or roads.
I was coming out of apartment parking lot and suddenly car stopped. I have to towed car to herb chamber of honda in westborough, ma. Technician told me that it is a computer failure. I am not sure why computer fail as before this incident my used not to start after parking. To start i had to insert key and move gear from parking to d1 and move it back to p and it started all the time. I not sure this is a computer issue. They are charging me $1500.00 for this. Could you please help to resolve this.since i bought this car i am having issues, my car paint is peeling off too, without corrosion or scratch.
Broken rear motor mount.
The midnight blue paint is peeling.i did not receive notice of honda's 2008 recall of this problem.when an independent car repair shop told me of the problem in 2012 i then went to a local honda dealer to report the problem.honda said that it was past the window of time in which honda would restore the paint job at their expense. I told them that i did not receive a recall notice.they did not care.
I have a 2004 honda odyssey. The paint is peeling on the front hood in several spots and the clear coat is peeling on the drivers side rear sliding door. I have brought the car to my local honda dealer where it was purchased and also contacted american honda. They both claim there is nothing that can be done for me.
I stopped behind a car waiting to merge from a parking lot to highway 193.the car ahead pulled out a little.then apparently changing his mind, he backed up into me.i had not pulled forward, but he still totaled my car.surprisingly, my airbags did not inflate.the collision bent my hood, cracked the grill, broke the bumper.
The paint is now peeling off the car. It should not do that.
Have owned this oddysey since 2008 and the vehicle at that time had around 40,000 miles. At that time i had to replace the front engine mount. Las week i went to the dealer for 90k service and they tell me i need to replace both the front right and front middle mount again!!!. So these mounts last 40 to 50k miles at max, outrageous for a brand like honda. I will cost me now 800$ to replace these 2.
Paint began peeling sometime but not noticeably until a year ago. When serviced at a honda dealer, they shrugged and said they didn't handle paint.the damage has increased greatly (see photos) and rust is beginning to be visible.the paint flakes off while i drive.i cannot sell the car in this shape.honda's undercoat is blamed in research i have made.i have always trusted honda, but am alarmed and unable to believe this is happening.want to sell this car back to honda for blue book price.
The sliding passenger doors continue to fail to open electronically and are extremely difficult to open if they do not open electronically.this can be an issue for passengers in the event of an accident as everyone would have to climb out the front doors.the doors can only be opened electronically when stationary.when attempting to open manually, doors can only be opened a few inches.
A passenger in the car was bringing the window down.the passenger window dropped into the door, just fell down into the door with a loud noise.the window did not shatter but the window would not roll up.we took the car in for service. The door had to be taken apart to fix the window.also, we replaced the passenger door and driver door electronic control units.the first time, the window did not work.the second time both units were replaced, the window can now be controlled from the passenger side, but not the driver side.since then, a number of other honda odyssey (2003-2005) having this exact issue have surfaced.this seems like a manufacturing issue and should be fixed by the dealer not the consumer.
I started leasing honda odyssey 2004 from honda dealership in april 2004 for 3 years, has not any problem with vehicle in that period (warranty period). I bought after lease and all problems started. 1): radio stopped working, honda replaced "free" because i bought additional 2 year warranty with $100 deductible, 2): back side window also stopped on open position, honda fixed for $100 deductible, (past 4 years both side windows doesn't work), 3): (one of major problems for blue color odyssey's this year), paint started peeling from hood, roof, under glass of both side slidingdoors, around back both side windows and whole paint on tailgate, honda covered only hood, roof and around back both side windows, when asked to paint rest of places they said don't have instruction about other spots from honda (its was very funny, like: "doctor know better, are you dead or alive"), now honda offers me for paint it with discounted price. 4) transmission fails, couldn't get any gear until resetting from hole top of steering will,changing trans oil didn't resolve this problem (this what mechanic told me) in honda dealership5) in 2011 on scheduled oil change mechanictold me to change all engine mounts and front shocks for $2500, hydraulic engine mount got leak and broke other mounts, i bought all engine mounts and front shocks for $700 and changed my self....now srs electronic control unit....i guess its too many defects and problems for this car....btw i'm a first and only owner of this odyssey and got only 96k miles on it....
Two several sections of paint started peeling off without corrosion or scratch. Areas affected: hood, roof, near the back windows and sliding doors.the peeling are major on the roof.this seems a known issue with the dark blue honda odysseys. I took it to the dealer but said because it's 9 years old they weren't obligated to fix it.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the hood became detached from the latch and crashed into the windshield, destroying the glass. The vehicle was towed to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the windshield and the hood would need to be replaced. The contact was also advised that the roof would need repairing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 168,000.
Parked car in parking lot--backed into spot--put into park?--shut off engine/removed key and exited vehicle/locked door and went into store--was informed within 5 minutes car had rolled approx' 50 feet into friends pickup truck..my left front[driver side] had smashed into right rear of truck-no damage to trk--my car actually in reverse when key removed and engine stopped.
There is a serious problem with the rear bumpers rusting away with no way of knowing.my family rode around in this car for maybe 2-3 years with a bumper that had rusted so badly it was literally falling apart,but remained inside of the bumper cover,so we did not know it.finally it rusted so badly that it began to leave rust stains on the driveway and i traced it to this problem.by this time the bumper was almost gone. It probably past the point of providing any protection maybe 2 years ago. This car has a rear facing seat and is used often.it terrifies me to know a rear end collision at practically any speed would have been far worse then it should have been and probably impacted the fuel tank, again, at far lower speeds than it would normally. My search on the internet shows this is not an isolated issue,there are plenty of people complaining about this.in my opinion this needs to be checked out on all odyssey's.people are driving around thinking they are protected and probably aren't.a rear collision could result in death due to the gas tank being left unprotected and rear passengers exposed to serious injuries at much lower speeds.i do not live in an area with lots of salt water or salted roads,there is not a rust issue anywhere else, this seems to be isolated to just the rear bumper.
Two sections of paint started peeling off of the hood,abouth the size of softballs.this is a known issue with the dark blue honda odysseys.i took it to the dealer, thry acknowledged the issue but said because it's 9 years old they werent obligated to fix it. ## vin passed ## 2004 honda odyssey ##
Drivers side top sliding door track is coming loose the spot welds are braking loose from the body. The sliding door is a little lose. I am concerned that it will brake loose completely and the door will fall off while we are driving. This is a 2004 honda odyssey lx. I have called honda directly but they say that i have to visit a dealer first before they will decide anything.
Paint is peeling off the roof in big patches down to the bare metal.

I was entering an 4way and it was my way to clear to enter, when a driver on my right side enter after i had allready entered the intersection and was well underway.the other driver complain that he was blinded by the sun and ran into me on my right side of van.my insurance asked if my airbags had opened they didn't.the passenger door was damaged and the back side sliding door was completely damaged and was not able to open it and the opened door ding would not stop ringing.i am concerned why the bag didn't opened?
About 2 years ago, the window actuator failed on the passenger side, i paid to repair this. Over the last 6 months, another 4 actuators have failed. One of them is the lock actuator on passenger side, second is the lock actuator on left sliding door, another is the window actuator on driver side and the actuator for driver side door lock.the problems of this magnitude are a serious safety issue as the window actuator on driver side suddenly failed while driving and was scary as the window just fell into the door.the other actuators failing with locks and doors can be a serious problems, especially with children in the vehicle where the window or door suddenly opens or closes.this seems to be an electrical component problem that need to be addressed by a national recall.

While driving on the highway my passenger side power door kept opening and closing on its own. I tried to manually shut it and it still will not completely shut. The same happens with the driver side power door.
The contact owns a 2004 honda odyssey. The contact stated that the front driver side door was off track. The contact was unable to unlock the door and noticed an abnormal fuel odor from the radio console. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.
My daughter and i both opened her door at the same time (she with the handle and i with the button on the key). The door opened just a little and then stopped. I asked her to open the door and she said, "no, you open it." she began to get in the car (through the small opening in the door) and i pressed the button. The door closed on her - it did not stop. It pushed hard enough against her to cause a huge mark on her arm. It is completely black and blue and she screamed out and cried loudly from the pain. The door after closing on her reopened. It should have never closed on her. The sensor should have caught it. - we took pictures of her arm if you need them. I have also been caught in the door a couple times (twice) when i was buckling my kids in and accidentally pressed the button. The door didn't stop even though i was in the doorway. I looked online to submit a complaint to honda, but they don't have a way to do it online. I have not yet complained directly to them. Let me know if i should.
Sliding door on the passenger's side opens by itsby itself when the vehicle is standing still.dealer and manufacturer were notified.the passenger side sliding door would not close.

Upon taking the groceries out of the vehicle the childhit a button which engaged the automatic door, causing the child to become trapped. However, it took some time before the child could be released from the door.
Both of my power sliding passenger doors on my 2004 honda odyssey are broken. There is a button to shut it off and manually use the doors but it does not work. The doors open on their own and never close properly. The spring broke off of one of the doors and scratched that side of my van. There are many complaints about this but honda will not cover it!

There were no events or issues leading up to the event. While traveling at a speed of approx 35 mph the latch on the slider door (driver's side) became disengaged and the slider door opened. The door was properly closed and and locked. The slider failed to close after that. Put the vehicle in for replacement of latch.
My 2004 honda odyssey automatic power sliding door opened while driving onthe highway going 55 mph. It also opened while driving 35 mph. It opens on its own whenever it wants and will not close or lock completely. I have contacted honda corp and they state that i have to pay the $100's or more to get diagnosed. I feel it is a safety issue!! and should be fixed for free. An automatic door that opens on its own is a safety issue. I have contacted the dealership i bought it from and they state i should pay for it as well. I am not the only owner with the same issue. A kid could fall out when the door opens or if i get in an accident and that door opens the person sitting there would be dead!!! i have video taped it opening while driving!
Multiple failures. Brakes problem, transmission, rough idle & engine surging, steering column controls and others.the automatic door would not open or close, the transmission did not shift properly and the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.the brake pedalshuttered, the brakes would catch without being applied.

A 20 month old toddler got her fingers stuck in sliding door of a 2004 honda odyssey. The door usually does not close if something is in the way, but did not stop for the tiny fingers. What was even more of a concern is that the doors could not be opened for about 3 minutes. No control button worked and the door could not be opened manually from the outside. After 3 minutes the door opened, but i have no idea why the button worked. We did not follow up with the physician yet, but it seems that she is ok beside some bruising on her fingers but this should be checked out.
Dt: contact statesvehicle is equipped with a safety device in the door to keep it from closing to stop injury, but nothingwas designed for it when it is opening to stop from causing injury.*sbson was getting out of van and his foot got stuck at the bottom of door. The door had to cycle before consumer could reopen it and try to get his foot out. There was not a way to stop the door to prevent his foot from getting smashed. The son's toes were only smashed in the incident but it could have smashed or even broken his foot or leg.*sb
Problems with door on 2004 honda odyssey.*mrthe door was ajar 6 inches and would not open nor close all the way.the close button was pressed but nothing happened.the door handle was pulled and the door started to close and crushed the tip of the consumer's finger fracturing it. The vehicle was inspected but no problems were found.
Dt: consumer complained about two problems.the first problem involved thesliding door located on the right side which did not close when it was opened. Took vehicle to dealership six times. However, problem recurred onjuly 19, 2005, and the dealershiptold him to bring the vehicle back. Consumerhas repeatedly been told by the dealership that there wasnoproblem.dealershipreplaced some parts, but consumer saw no improvement.he was concernedabout thedoor malfunctioning whenopened.what if it would malfunction when it was closed and it opened while driving.the second problem involvedtransmission. He received a recall notice that was dated spring/summer 2004. Hetookthe vehicle for service and they said there was no problem. Transmission hesitated while driving.
The two front doors to not have enough tension when opened and the doors swing shut (even on a level surface) and have closed on my leg and my 3 year olds leg.the dealer says that my van is set to the standards and i think the standards need to be changed!
When parking on a slight incline with the front doors wide open they close without notice. I almost had a crushed hand from unexpected failure of the detent to hold the door open. The local service department said it was caused by heavier doors due to side impact reinforcement. Can't the detent spring load be increased to correct this problem?
Dt*: the contact stated the sliding doors failed to open or close and the doors opened on their own, intermittently.the dealership reset the code for the doors more than five times.the problem returned and the dealership replaced the motor, but the problem persisted.this failure occurred more in cold weather.
I own a 2004 honda odessey. I was outside the vehicle and opening the passenger door, which is automatic. My 2 year-old leaned against the outside of the van against the rear panel at the same time that the automatic rear door was opening. She became lodged between the door and the van. The reverse mechanism on the door did not operate (or doesn't exist) and i had to manually pull the door off her and dislodge her from between the door and van.i reported the incident to honda and they indicated that they have had 10 other reports thus far. My daughter did not suffera serious injury.however, i feel the potential exists for serious injury to a child in this manner.
Both power sliding doors will not operate (close) without manual assistance. Problem started about 1 year ago with one door and has gotten worse over time. Recently the door scraped down the entire side of the van while attempting to close causing damage to the exterior of the van.
I was leaning into the trunk and the back hatch came flying down onto my back.the hatch hydraulics/struts gave way.i have already ordered the parts at the dealer because it wasn't shutting properly.it has taken over a week for the parts to come in.this is the second time i have had to get these parts replaced in less than 2 years for a less than two year old car. I was injured and i am seeking medical attention.
The struts or hatch pistons failed on our 2004 honda odyssey and the hatch weighing well over 100 pounds came down on my head full force. This defect should be addressed. Serious injury will occur with head and neck injury and if a smaller child in the path maybe worse. Honda is charging us to fix the problem. I strongly suggest this be a subject for a recall. They should not fail after two years.
I had all major services at honda dealer ( four wheels alignment at 95000 miles in 2012, timing bell at 100000 miles in 2012, oil transmission service at 109500 miles in 2013, alignment at 121000 in 2013). I bought extended warranty for 7 years or 100000 miles when i bought my car. During that time period and all services at honda dealer they did not advise any thing. Today i brought my car for air bag recall, alignment and oil transmission service, they told me that i need to replace all three engine mount cost approximately $1380. I was shock because it too expensive.i can not understand why engine mounts easy to break. I went home researching online and surprising to discover that a lot of people had same problem. I think this engine mount defected or design problem cause engine mounts easy to break (normally need to replace over 200000 miles) and honda needs to address this issue. Please advise me what i suppose to do because if engine mounts broke it going to effect suspension, balancing and alignment system etc... Thank you very much.best regard,updated 4/28/16
I did not know the motor mount was an issue on honda odyssey but i already replace one so far on my van after a month i took my van for a ignition recall and overall the van did not any problems at all after getting it back from the dealer but after a few weeks the engine keep shutting down in a low idle, no accidents so far only mad people behind me when my van stalls. Can you (nhtsa) investigate or let me know if this is a honda issue or my, one other problem is suspension is to noisy feels like leaving wheels behind i hope you take matter on all complaints before someone get hurt.

Broken rear motor mount.
Own 2004 honda odyssey, original owner, purchased new, 130,000 miles.check engine and traction control systems lights illuminated last wednesday.i believe i am one of many odyssey owners with bad transmissions.approximately $3500 to fix it.
I stopped behind a car waiting to merge from a parking lot to highway 193.the car ahead pulled out a little.then apparently changing his mind, he backed up into me.i had not pulled forward, but he still totaled my car.surprisingly, my airbags did not inflate.the collision bent my hood, cracked the grill, broke the bumper.
Cannotput key in ignition fully and/or cannot turn key in ignition to start car.
Defective engine and transmission mount, will result in severe vibration and transaxle misalignment defective transmission at 84,000 miles. Dealership require to replace transmission and all engine and transmission mounts.
Transmission failed at 156,500 miles.
After the sliding door on the driver side stopped working, we was still able to switch off the switch and open/close it manually a few times. The following morning trying to do the same thing it only opened halfway and then wouldnt latch closed as i tried the second time to get it to latch closed the whole door just fell off track. Luckily it happened sitting in my moms driveway.i would hate to have seen what would had happened had i been driving when it came off since my 4 year olds seat is right there.
There was no incident.my complaint is about the paint peeling significantly on my navy blue minivan.got an estimate for out of pocket repainting and was quoted $800.00 just for the hood.paint is peeling in more places.decided to check online to see if this was a common occurrence and it is.i have owned the van for over 9 years and never received any recall or reimbursement for paint peeling problem.
Received news from a local honda dealership that all 4 engine mounts were broken for a cost of $925.when looking for parts happen to see the amount of chatter regarding engine mounts on several model years of the odyssey.lesson learned... Perhaps check this site before buying any vehicle.seems honda should cover some of the cost at least.
Was driving normal then car stalled and started reving very loud and jerking when pushing on gas while the d for drive was lashing even when put ino park the d still flashed blue was reading about problem and it sounds like transmission failure
Car key would not turn the ignition...it would lock up and a few minutes later work.we had to replace the ignition lock assembly and now have a different keys to start the car then the car doors.the cost of the new ignition lock was $402.03.
Transmission failure in 2004 honda odyssey. Mileage 75000,bought new from dealership,maintained by dealer. Was shocked when news of transmission failure was broken.

Transmission overheats and stops working completely. Have to change fluid about every 750 miles to keep it moving somewhat
Paint is peeling over the whole body of the car.
The drive (d) light on the gear shift started blinking while i was driving. I pulled over and shifted to park, but the light continued to blink. I turned off the engine, and when i turned it back on the blinking had stopped. American honda has told me that this may be related to a 2004 transmission-related recall, and that if so honda will pay for the repairs. However, it must be diagnosed by a dealer, and honda dealers charge a $115 diagnostic fee. Both the dealer and american honda have told me they cannot waive the fee. However, i feel that the fee should be waived as this is a safety issue, and the only purpose of the diagnostic test is to determine whether honda will pay for the repairs. If they will not pay for the repairs, we do not intend to have the repairs done.

Takata airbag recall:i got an inform that let me make sure if need repair my airbag and try to get a free repair here.
When driving around 60 mph on the highway our 2004 honda odyssey began to accelerate on its own like someone pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor and held it to the floor. This constant acceleration almost caused an accident as we were forced to weave around in traffic until we could pull over to the side of the road where the acceleration continued and we fought the van with the brakes on until we could shut the engine off. When restarting the engine in park, the engine continued to rev at redline levels. Turned the engine off and on again a couple of times as it continued to be revving at red line levels. Eventually after slamming on the accelerator several times, the engine idled at normal levels. This was a very frightening experience in a light traffic and could have been disastrous in moderate or heavy traffic - especially since we have 4 kids.
I was turning right into a parking spot and had my foot on the brake the whole time.when i was more than halfway in the spot, the engine revved and the car plunged forward going over the concrete barrier and into a pole.the airbags did not deploy and thankfully everyone was ok.the officer investigating the crash insisted that my foot must have slipped off the brake pedal buti am positively sure that my foot was on the brake the whole time as it was still on the brake when the car came to a stop after hitting the pole.witnesses to the crash confirmed that i was traveling very slow as i pulled in the parking spot and that they heard the engine rev and the car accelerated very fast over the barrier and into the pole.

I was driving my honda '04 odyssey mini-van on the taconic parkway, ny with my 3 young children when the transmission began to buck, then race then shut down. I slowly hit brakes to a stop, turned the engine off then let the car rest with hazards on for about 5 mins. I then restarted the car, it ran well for a few miles till a hill. Then it bucked, raced again and i pulled off the highway. I was lucky that i was near home and was able to slowly get it to a honda dealer shop. This is the only time that this has ever happened to the car. They looked it over the next day and i was told i needed a new transmission which would cost about $4,000.00. I have had my car serviced religiously according to honda guide lines and recommendations by only honda dealers, first where i bought it in tarry town, then brewster, then finally in yorktown heights, ny. The car has 82,000 miles on it. The extended warranty is for 75k miles and 7 years. I am over by 7k miles. I just had the mounts replaced, new serpentine belt, tires and breaks. I understand that this is an ongoing issue with this model and year and felt i should report it.
I had notice the accelarator pedal giving a jerky movement and car starting after hesititing for a few seconds since day 1 whenever i acclerate. This is continuingto happen and occurs more frequently when there is rain or snow.
Gas pedal stuck on a very cold day (~10 f).my wife complained that the pedal could not be pushed down at all; she finally got it to move after about 10 minutes of trying.because we can back down our driveway without pushing on the gas, she didn't notice until the car was already in the street.
As i was driving on the freeway my gas pedal no longer worked and i was forced to coast to the side of the road. Honda told me it was a broken throttle cable and did pay for the repairs. I just want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else because i could have been killed.
The throttle cable failed. This would cause the vehicle not to accelerate. The dealership will be notified. The cause was not determined. Please provide more information.

About 2 years ago, the window actuator failed on the passenger side, i paid to repair this. Over the last 6 months, another 4 actuators have failed. One of them is the lock actuator on passenger side, second is the lock actuator on left sliding door, another is the window actuator on driver side and the actuator for driver side door lock.the problems of this magnitude are a serious safety issue as the window actuator on driver side suddenly failed while driving and was scary as the window just fell into the door.the other actuators failing with locks and doors can be a serious problems, especially with children in the vehicle where the window or door suddenly opens or closes.this seems to be an electrical component problem that need to be addressed by a national recall.
A passenger in the car was bringing the window down.the passenger window dropped into the door, just fell down into the door with a loud noise.the window did not shatter but the window would not roll up.we took the car in for service. The door had to be taken apart to fix the window.also, we replaced the passenger door and driver door electronic control units.the first time, the window did not work.the second time both units were replaced, the window can now be controlled from the passenger side, but not the driver side.since then, a number of other honda odyssey (2003-2005) having this exact issue have surfaced.this seems like a manufacturing issue and should be fixed by the dealer not the consumer.
