While driving down the road and once the engine reaches operating temperature the vehicle fails to accelerate and shift gears. I mash the gas pedal and the RPM gauge goes up but the vehicle doesn't move. I let the engine and transmission cool down and sometimes it will operate properly again until everything warms up. It doesn't matter if im sitting at a light or in actual motion going down the road, the vehicle ceases to continue moving. I have been going 60 mph and all of a sudden my car loses all movement but the car is still reving up and I can change gears but it stops me dead in my tracks. I called the transmission shop and they tell me its a very common issue but nothing has been able to be pinpointed

When I am slowing down or coming to a complete stop, it feels like my transmission is downshifting like a manual. This happens only when im slowing down / coming to a complete stop.
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.
I am having a problem with the power steering freezing up on slow turns and the transmission torque converter clutch is stuck making the car transmission heat up and quit until it cools down, I was stuck on the side of the road 4X for this. Once with my 97 yr old brother in law and 79 yr old sister.they want $4000 to fix this. The driver side sliding door cable broke also.I had the run flat pax tires on it when it was purchased, I was not told that I would have to drive at least 100 to 200 miles to get them changed out as they need a special machine to fix them. I had to buy new rims and tires for $1500. I have 125,000 miles on the car. I will never buy or recommend a Honda to anyone.
I was driving fine, all of a sudden, the engine just completely shut down and there was no power. Turn on again, it worked. Drive for 2 miles, it totally shup down again. No power, nothing.
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 Odyssey 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.
The car stalled in the middle of the road. It stalled when traveling at 55 mph creating a danger on the road. Per mechanic, the transmission failed. The mileage on the vehicle is less than 150,000 miles.
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 Odyssey. 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.
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!!!
