'03 Honda Odyssey Strange Plasticy Odor

Our Oddysey is emitting an odor that smells kind of like melting plastic. Is this what the transmission would smell like if it were going bad? Any other thing it may be -- bad oxygen sensor or something?

Where are you smelling it and under what conditions? A "plasticy" smell would most likely be an electrical problem, a short or excess load on a circuit that's heating up the plastic insulation on some wires. The blower circuit on my wrecker was like that until I bypassed the fuse block and part of the circuit with an in-line fuse.

Could be as easy as a garbage bag that melted to a part of your exhaust system
