Recently reported POWER TRAIN problems on 2006 Honda Odyssey

Vehicle has a approximately 140,000 mi. while driving on freeway at 65 mph.transmission torque converter lockup malfunctioned and went into neutral. had to coast across 4 lanes of traffic to exit. when speed permitted shift down to wnd and qstacks gear and was able to limp into a parkin* lot. had to have car towed to a transmission facility. pulled the transmission dip stick and smelled the fluid which emitted a very pungent smell. the fluid was not black. the fluid had been changed 15- 20,000 mi earlier. when talking to mechanic he told me almost exactly how many m8les he thought the car had because he had seen so many honda's with exactly this same problem. i believe that honda did not design this transmission properly to last with proper maintenance and fluid changes.

Takata recall i own a 2006 honda odessey and the torc converter is failing will driving. honda has a complaint failed against them for no addressing this issue..

Transmission failure at 100,065 miles. original owner with all service checks done at dealer. research indicates this is a far too common problem in honda odysseys. cost to repair over $4,000. feel the deal should replace for free or significantly reduced rate.

I drove my honda minivan for 10 years and one day i was pulling into a parking space at work and when i stepped on the brake to slow down the car, it suddenly accelerated so fast that it hit the wall and set off the air bag. the car was totaled and i had burns from the the airbag on my neck and arm.

For starters i had transmission rebuit and its needs replaced again this is at 120000 miles then at 135000 miles. i havent got it replaced yet, but my mechanic gave me the warning. also said all odysseys transmissions fail.like its a ongoing problem. number 2. my passengerfront door gets stuck and you cant open ot even though its unlocked. 3..the middle seat second row the small seat that unlatches, unlatches while driving.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda odyssey. while driving at 40 mph, the vehicle jerked and the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the front brakes. in addition, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to accelerate and the rpms increased. the vsc and abs warning lights illuminated on the instrument cluster. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, who diagnosed that the front brakes needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 156,400.

I bought my 06 odyssey touring edition in 2015. i am the second owner and it only had 115,000 miles on it. i had no problems at first and then soon after started having a shuttering problem around 45 mph. i had a saturn vue with the same problem and had the same motor and transmission as my honda. chevrolet did a recall on it i brought it in the reprogrammed and recalibrated it no problems after that. so when my honda started i brought it to the dealer to see if there was a recall and they said not on my vin. so i asked how much to reprogram and recalibrate and the told me that if it does not have a new update then they could not do it (which i know is bull since we own a mechanic shop and deal with things like this all the time). i do not have the $3000 plus to fix the torque converter and feel if other vehicle with same transmissions have been recalled then this one should be too!!!

I took my van in to wilde honda on 9/17/14 for a recall on the fuel pump nodule. the day i picked it up, i noticed a very loud sound from my engine. i had a friend drive the car the afternoon of 9/26/14 to see if he could understand what was wrong with it. when he got in to drive it, my check engine light was on, my d light was blinking and the car will not shift out of second gear. additionally, the transmission fluid smells like it is burning. i have now had a mechanic review it and the transmission has completely failed and i need to have a new one put in. *tr

My odyssey needs a complete transmission overhaul, and will cost more than $3,000.00. i always thought that japanese vehicles are durable, reliable, and long-lasting, with toyota being one of the best, but honda being the best of the best. now, i am very disappointed with honda. i am hoping for honda to recall the transmission for the odyssey. i have 4 friends that have the same problem with their own odysseys. and my auto mechanic disclosed to me that this is a regular and consistent problem that is brought to him by his customers. please recall the odyssey transmission to relieve us of the financial burden, and to regain our confidence to honda vehicles. thank you. *tr
