2002 HONDA ODYSSEY — Complaint #650622

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:SHIFT PATTERN INDICATOR filed December 21, 2007

NHTSA complaint #650622 (ODI reference 10212481) concerns a 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY and was filed on December 21, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 22, 2007. The vehicle had 174,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to 00 based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:manual transmission:shift pattern indicator, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ODYSSEY cohort independently describe similar power train:manual transmission:shift pattern indicator failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY, IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR, IT SIMPLY "REVS" AND WILL NOT SHIFT UP. IF YOU SLOW DOWN AND START OVER, IT IS FINE. HONDA HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL, THEY TELL ME THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED ALONG WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. UPON RESEARCH I FIND THERE ARE MANY OUT THERE WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE SAME EXPERIENCE, HONDA PERHAPS NEEDS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE THEY PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR POOR ENGINEERING. *TR
