2002 Honda Odyssey Transmission Blew UP

Discussion in 'Odyssey' started by Frank Gasparro, Sep 6, 2004.

  1. I have a 2002 Odyssey. The trans blew up at 19000 miles. It ran 500
    miles then blew up again. It ran 10,000 miles more and blew up again.
    Now at 34,000 it has another dead transmission.

    I have contacted an attorney regarding this issue, there is recourse
    even if your Honda is outside of the lemon-law in your state.

    Honda needs to be held responsible for the damages that they are
    causing by not fixing a problem and hoping that you go out of warranty
    before the transmission blows.

    The remanufactured transmissions they are supplying are nothing but
    junk. All of them have failed in my car. I have friends that have
    Odysseys that have no issues at all, how is this possible if this is a
    design problem. It seems more like a build issue. Certainly, the
    remanufactured transmissions are not as good as the original equipment
    transmissions. At least the orginial in my car lasted 19,000 miles.

    I also believe that Honda should be installing transmission coolers in
    addition to the recall and perhaps using synthetic fluid.

    Has anyone had luck in recovering damages under any lemon-laws for
    this problem? Also, has anyone had any luck getting this fixed under
    their extended warranty? Are there any experiences with non-dealer
    rebuilds, perhaps with a lifetime warranty?

    thats some weird shit. you towing yachts in san francisco with that
    thing? :)
    sounds like your DEALER is getting bad rebuilds... maybe to skim a buck
    off the warranty repairs?
    i thought they were?
    id go with a different dealer, personally. you shouldnt be having this
    kind of bad luck.

  3. They are remanufactured by the terms of law only; the insides are
    all-new and are assembled by the same manufacturer that makes the "new"
    transmissions they install at the factory. The fact that they re-use
    the exterior case requires that Honda call them "remanufactured".

    But they are new.
