![]() Months later, after talking with Honda customer service, we found out that they (Whitehorse Honda) "didn't think we were serious about getting the repairs done". In the middle of nowhere, literally, transmission decided to make life miserable.Īfter a very slow (traveling no more than 60 km / hr) remainder of the trip we arrived in Whitehorse where Honda was extremely reluctant to help. One owner, small town, mainly hwy km's.ĭrove to the Yukon from Edmonton in summer 2005. I will update this soon with more detailed numbers and dates but at the moment they are not close by.īought 1999 Odyssey in Oct. I have 4 children as my call was not even return by the honda, not only me but my next generations will drive any other cars but honda. I called honda all they said was they were sorry. I know the fact that transmission will fail on you. All my life I only had hondas, but whoever is looking for these cars please check the history of the car. Windows were not going up or down properly and I wasn't gonna pay any more another 3000 to 4000 dollars for all the repairs and i end up selling the car for the junk yard company for a few hundered dollars. Locks were not working any more properly. That s when ignition and transmission died on me. After radiator blow i had to change it, cooling fan failed i had to change it, alternator failed i had to change it twice, i changed timeing belts twice, and made it to 156000 miles. ![]() When i hit the 90000 miles i started to have door problems again, when car was over 100000 miles car started give me all sort of problems. But couple recalls we had to go such as ignition, which will fail again down on the road. After two months again transmission failed again same they replaced it. When i went to dealer they told us that factory extended the warranty on this cars transmissions which they replaced it. I wasnt worrie about it because i had 10 years extanded warranty. Than we were fine untill 62000 miles when our first transmission failiur happened. It took them around 4 times to get it right. At the very first days we had aoutomatic doors problems and many days i spent in the car dealer just them fixing it. As family of 6 we really enjoyed having this car. It was my second car and very comfortable family car. Hello every one, I bought my honda odessy 1999 as they were very first model of these days honda. I have contacted corp and they say they will not do anything even tho they knew just by me saying i have a 99 odyssey, what the problem is! i never received notification of the recall when it originally occurred and i thought they were legally obligated to send it to me in writing! needless to say, with myself unemployed and my husband underpaid, this is AWFUL timing to say the least! The kids are stuck in az on their honeymoon with a broken down (aka dead as a doornail and too expensive to fix) van and an unwilling to assist honda company.thank goodness we have family down there that are helping them out because my company has failed me miserably!!!!!įirst they lost d4 then d3 and gimped into flagstaff at 40 mph in d2. our van is going to the graveyard.i think that is a sad thing for a Honda to have to be doing at 13 years old.esp when i know that they can do better than that!!! this is my 3rd Honda in 25 years (i still have the accord from 88 and she is still functioning) but i am really saddened by their lack of responsibility on this matter. Honda will NOT assist even tho they KNOW that it is THEIR FAULT r/t to a design flaw. bottom line is the car is worth 2 1/2 k and the transmission is 5k. i don't know what their record is on that. there is another company that knows the flaw is in where the transmission is located and requires you to buy an additional cooler unit to keep the transmission from overheating. ![]() if you buy THEIR transmission, it will continue to fail (some people are on their 3rd tranny at 145k). Honda KNOWS this and will NOT pay anything to help. Sooooooooooooooo here is a WARNING for our fellow HONDA zealots.1999-2004 odysseys have a badly designed transmission.
