2002 Honda Odyssey Other Problems

Your van may roll away on slight inclines if you remove the ignition key while the gear selector is in a position other than Park. This is a known safety issue that affects certain 2002 Odysseys manufactured in late 2001, though your Honda dealer may have initially said it only applies to 2003-2004 models. The issue involves the transmission's park function and may require inspection or adjustment by a technician.

Your car allows you to remove the ignition key even when the gear selector isn't in Park, which can cause the vehicle to roll away on slight inclines. This is the same issue covered by Honda recall 16V344000, which your dealer says only applies to 2003-2004 model years, but the recall notice indicates it applies to vehicles manufactured as early as November 2001—and your van was built in November 2001. The fix would likely involve a dealer service to install a key interlock mechanism that prevents key removal unless the gear is in Park.

DRIVING UP TO 40MPH THE 3RD GEAR IN THE TRANSMISSION HAD A PROBLEM WITH SHIFTING. IT WAS SLIPPING FROM 3RD TO 4TH AND SHOOK THE WHOLE CAR VIGOROUSLY. FROM 2ND TO 3RD THE GEARS WOULDN'T GRAB VERY SMOOTHLY EITHER. STOPPING THE CAR FROM 40MPH TO 0MPH WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTED THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AGAIN BECAUSE OF FAILURE WITH THE 3RD GEAR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WE HAD TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND HAD TO GET 3RD GEAR REBUILT. THE WHOLE REPAIR ON THE TRANSMISSION COST ME $2,650.00.
