TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FELT AS IF IT WERE SLIPPING. THE VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY FAIL TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND WOULD ALSO JERK WHEN SHIFTING. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 04V176000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), BUT THE DEALER STATED THAT IT WOULD COST $4,500 TO REPAIR BECAUSE THE RECALL ONLY PERTAINED TO VEHICLES UP TO THE YEAR 2000. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 84,500. UPDATED 5/5/09 *CN UPDATED 05/06/09.*JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS 42,000 MILES. THE ENGINE BEGAN ACCELERATING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLIMUNIATED. WE DROVE THE CAR STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE DAY THIS HAPPENED AND WERE TOLD WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT OVER $4000. I DON'T FIND THIS ACCEPTABLE FOR A $33,000 VEHICLE. IT WAS SERVICED LESS THAN A MONTH AGO FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND CHECKED OUT PERFECTLY.
