It wasn't recalled as long as I have owned it.Here are the notes I made when I did the inspection last time. I bought this minivan used from van's Honda in green bay, WI in April of 2007 and I am unaware if my van was recalled. They are very well aware of this problem and apparently there was a recall on these minivans to fix this problem. I hope you can help me get this problem satisfactorily repaired from Honda. It wasn't until I started reading online about how many other people are having the same problem with Odyssey minivans. Since that time of that repair, I have just lived with the problem and hoped for the best. For an oil change and tranny fluid change and a 'diagnostic test drive' it didn't fix the problem. I took it to a local Honda dealer and of course they could not duplicate the problem and told me a transmission fluid change was needed. I have never had the problem at speeds over 45 to 50 mph. This is an intermittent problem and does not do it all the time. 20 to 40 mph, the vehicle has a shudder/rumble sensation thru the steering wheel and you can feel it whether you are driving or a passenger. We had to exit the vehicle for fear of it being on fire.Īt low speeds, approx. Another incident occurred on the expressway at 65mph I began smelling smoke and pulled off onto an exit ramp at which time the entire vehicle was engulfed in thick white smoke that smelled like burning transmission fluid. At highway speeds when trying pass another vehicle the transmission will stutter slip and "bang" into passing gear or slip out of gear and then re-engage in a lower gear preventing the over taking of the other vehicle. This is a very dangerous vehicle that has a transmission that can not be repaired once it begins to fail. On several occasions while pulling out into traffic the transmission has slipped out of gear and nearly caused accidents. The second time for a rebuild was January 2012, then may 2012 and now it must go back a fourth time August 2012. This vehicle has had the transmission completely rebuilt four times since. Driving down the road it will slip out of third gear at 55mph and then "bang" into 4th. Must sit for a few seconds and it will "bang" into second gear shaking the entire vehicle. Starting the vehicle up and trying to drive away it will jump out of first at which point the engine over revs. it's not the engine mounts (they've been replaced) - it's subtle and some people might not detect the sound. it also sounds similar to how a bad idler bearing on an ac compressor sounds. Other thoughts: - kind of sounds like a strong cross-wind (30+ mph) going across the windshield. It's also hard to tell if lower gears do the same thing because engine noise and vibration drown out grinding sound/feel. Going downhill doesn't make noise since trans is disengaged. Going slightly uphill makes it cycle more frequently. 5) rpms will then drop below 1500, then rise and get stuck at 1500 again along with infuriating noise and pedal vibration. 3) rpm will get "caught" at 1500, makes grinding sound 4) rpms might breakthrough 1500, pop up to 1800, and grinding noise will diminish. Normal sequence is this: 1) accel to ~40mph 2) once at steady state and in 4th gear, engine rpms will fall to 1500. Engine gets "stuck" at 1500 rpm's where it emits grinding sound the loudest. I called the local Honda dealership and explained the circumstances and situation and the technician advised me our van was not covered under the warranty extension and as problems continued to arise to continue what we were doing and following recommendations of our mechanic (who has advised me to now get rid of vehicle due to Honda's position) and that in the technician's opinion fuel injectors would probably be the next course of action.Ĭar emits a grinding sound when throttle is in a cruise or slight accel position. He advised me of Honda technical service bulletin 13-081 and explained the build date of our Odyssey was listed as 08/13 and we should be included in the warranty extension that Honda was extending to the 11-13 models with the same exact issue as we were experiencing. He also switched coil pack 2 with coil pack 3. He replaced the spark plug due to the fouling of the new plug and saved it for me to present to Honda. #1996 honda odyssey stops then starts right backup codeTook the van in to my mechanic and the code showed misfire on cylinder 3. Within a month, the vehicle experienced the same shudder and flashing check engine indicator light. They replaced the spark plugs, due to being fouled, and also coil pack for cylinder 3, due to misfire code on cylinder 3. Exited the next exit and took took the van to the local mechanic shop the next morning. While driving on the interstate, vehicle started to shudder and check engine indicator light started flashing.
