2003 Honda Odyssey tranny porblem, help??
Hey everyone,
I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey that is having some problems with the tranny. Driving along and the rpm will ramp up 2-3 thousand and stay like that for a few seconds before returning to normal. While it is ramping up the car feels like the tranny is not engaged until the rpm comes down and then everything is fine. This problem does not happen all the time just every once in the while. I would think if it were the tranny failing it would happen more often. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? Thanks, Scott.. |

You, sir, are a victim of Honda's beancounters--the ones who overrode Honda engineers and ended up selling you a piece of transmission. |

We were 900 miles away from home on vacation when it went out and it only cost me $1,700, they only made me pay for the labor this time!!!!! It cost me a week of car rental, and several extra days of hotel (With my IN-LAWS) while they shipped in the new tranny. You would think as many of these as go bad they would keep one in stock. They wouldn't even order it until I came in and put $500 down. After I picked it up we headed back home, and I noticed that the steering wheel was way off. I found out that the dealer that did the repair Hall Honda 3516 Virginia Beach Blvd, Virginia Beach - (866) 963-4642 did not realign the front end after they put the new tranny in. I had to get that done, at my expense, after I got home. enjoy your ride.... dka |

What you describe are classic textbook symptoms. The '03 Hondas apparently had a spate of auto transmission failures. I don't mean to be the harbinger of bad news, but it's a fact. I had this problem with my BMW a few years back, so I feel your annoyance. I had to cough up nearly 4 grand for a new-rebuilt trannie. BMW also has a history of auto trannie failures. > > Thanks, > > Scott.. |

Every auto trans hooked to a Honda V6 engine made between 1998 model year and mid-2004 model year had problems. My God, they even changed from a 4 speed to a 5 speed trans in 2002 model year, and they STILL ed it up. Honda was run by beancounters for some period of time, and that huge mistake revealed itself in Honda's most complex powertrain: the V6/auto trans combination. |
