Problems with 2001 Honda Odyssey POWER TRAIN

I was driving down the road normal and the next moment my foot was on the gas as normal and the engine began to rev without propelling my vehicle any farther. i slowed down and then coasted to the side of the road. i experimented once i was safely off the road and attempted to re engage the transmission. it let me go for another few miles then i was able to make it home. the next day i started to drive it to my mechanics shop and on the way it stopped and would not go anywhere. i was only about a mile and a half from my home. fittingly enough i had to park it in the parking lot of a business. that business was a funeral home. all this took place on a city street where the speed limit is 35 miles per hour. when i attempted to take it to my mechanic the next morning, i was being followed by a co-worker who was going to give me a ride after i dropped it off. to be more specific about exactly what happened, i was just ...

I have 115,000 miles on this van and the transmission went out and i seen that this happened to a lot of these vans i am very disappointed .

For the third time since we owned the vehicle the transmission has been slipping and the vehicle again isn't drivable. this is an ongoing problem with this y/m/m with many complaints. nhtsa and honda need to do a recall. i was driving when the transmission failed and was lucky to not have had any cars around me. this needs to be addressed with a recall and replacement by honda. we're the original owners and honda is aware of the problem as is nhtsa but no major action has been taken to recall. this is a safety issue. *tr

Driver able to shut off ignition and remove key while transmission gear selector still in drive. my teen drivers that are learning to drive have done this numerous times, even after i have pointed it out to them. the vehicle safety interlocks should prevent this scenario but in this vehicle, the safety feature has failed

The ignition key can be removed from the ignition with the gear selector still in drive. my teenage drivers have on several occasions left the van in the driveway with the van still in drive, ignition off. luckily, our home's driveway is flat and we have not had an issue of the van rolling away - yet!

While i was driving the van on a hwy the rpms went up and the van would not go as if the transmission was totally gone. i got pulled off to the side of the road and had to call a wrecker service to come and pick us up. the van has been sitting for about a week. i got in it and it will go in a lower gear but only until the van warms up then it will not move at all. it cost me $200. to have it towed home and i was told by a transmission shop that it would cost me anywhere from $2500 to $4500 to fix the problem. that is more than the van is apparently worth. i have spent my christmas money on just the towing. i need help in getting it fixed i am a single mom with 2 small children. i did not have my children in the van with me but it was me and my ex mother in law and it was night and a mountainous hwy. if i had not gotten my van off to the side of the road there could have been a very bad ...

Without warning no dash lights nor check engine lights my transmission failed in heavy traffic..a slight up rev and then complete failure of transmission....just avoided being rearended as the car slowed quickly on a rise and just made it to the shoulder in traffic..fluid levels were normal but fluid had a odor ...my mechanic towed the car and drained and filled the trans (not convertor) to verify condition..trans will move in reverse at high rpm. this transmission was replaced 6/6/05 at 37400 miles under warranty and has been serviced and topped off as needed until now..in heavy traffic serious injury or death could have occured if not for observant driver behind me..i understand from transmission shops and rebuilders that honda transmission are built to fail with very poor design (no filtering of fluids,,and very weak clutch assemblies) to repair this vehicle it will cost $3800.00-to $5000.00 for new transmission and $3000.00 for a reliable rebuilt (jasper) this car was purchased to replace my 2004 freestar with transmission failures three times within 75.000 miles. *tr

Transmission needed replacement at 81,681 miles, $5026.00, all work done by honda dealership 4/13/11. now at 142,000 honda transmission failed again. was driving on freeway at 65mph when engine lost power. coasted to side of freeway. *tr

I realized that it wouldn't accelerate after being at a stop light. when it finally did it would jerk between gears. the check engine came on for the 2nd time (the 1st last week for a short that was fixed). then my tcs came on and wouldn't turn off. the transmission is erratic and previously had issues between 2nd and 3rd. now i'm told i need a new transmission. it has less than 96,000 miles. i'm a single mom w/ 2 kids i can't afford that. i got this van from a relative after my pathfinder (w nearly 300,000 miles on it) had an engine gasket issue i couldn't afford to have fixed because the engine had to be broken down. i'm seeing that this is a common issue for 12 yrs worth of models? why is there no warning? when i looked at other cars there were statements with them about issues. honda needs to fix this. this is horrible quality management. a mini van is a kid mobile - how would honda like the press if kids are hurt because this goes out when kids ...

On the evening of sunday, may 25, 2014, i was driving on a freeway with my young son going approximately 55mph. as i began to ascend a slight hill onto a bridge, the tcs and check engine lights both illuminated. as i pressed on the gas pedal to accelerate up the hill, the rpms shot up but the car would not propel forward. i managed to make it over the bridge going the speed limit. after i began the descent down, the car would not accelerate whatsoever. i then coasted down to a stop in a fast food restaurant parking lot. my car was later towed and seen at a repair shop. i was informed that my entire transmission would need to be replaced. prior to the incident on the bridge, there were no signs or warnings leading up to the failure of the transmission. what's more is approximately 8 years ago, the same issue happened with the vehicle (on a freeway, although not at an incline). the transmission needed to be replaced that time as well. *tr

Check engine light on at startup. honda dealership diagnosed problem as 2nd gear transmission slippage. recommended a replacement transmission at appox $4000 or rebuilt or used at about $2500. still thinking over my decision. *js
