This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This transmission failed and I put another one in and it failed within two days. I have looked online and found out that everyone is having trouble with these transmissions. I think Honda should replace these problem transmissions with a recall. I don't have $1,500 to put in a new transmission every day or two.
The contact owns a 1998 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that while the vehicle was powered off and in park, the vehicle rolled away. The vehicle was stopped by applying the emergency brake. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics and stated that they would have to look at the tumblers to find the cause for the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000 and the current mileage was 98,400.
We were just told that our 1998 Honda Odyssey needs a new transmission for $4,000. This would be the 3rd transmission replacement in this car since we've owned it (we're original owners). That's triple what the car is worth. We have taken immaculate care of this car and there is no reason why the transmission should die so often. Is there a class action suit we can be part of?
