2001 HONDA ODYSSEY NEEDING 2ND TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT 118,000 MILES AFTER CHECK ENGINE AND TCS LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. DEALERSHIP EXAMINED CAR AND PULLED THE CODE P0740 MEANING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. FIRST TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT 63,000 MILES UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM HONDA DUE TO KNOWN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. INFORMATION REGARDING EXTENDED WARRANTY ON FIRST TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT CAME FROM A FRIEND WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, NOT FROM HONDA. HONDA DID NOT NOTIFY US OF THIS PROBLEM. NOW, 3 1/2 YEARS AND 55,000 MILES LATER TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AGAIN. AMERICAN HONDA HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVE STATING, "TO BE FRANK, HONDA HAS HAD SO MANY CLAIMS ON THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THIS HAS AFFECTED SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HONDA HAS NO ASSISTANCE LEFT FOR THIS PROBLEM." *TR

WHILE DRIVING UPHILL OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WE DANGEROUSLY ROLLED DOWN THE HILL INTO A SIDE STREET, WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. WE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF 1/4 OF ORIGINAL PRICE OF CAR. HONDA AGREED TO PAY 43% OF INFLATED DEALERSHIP ESTIMATE, WHICH CLEARLY IS AN ADMISSION OF A DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE TRANSMISSION. AFTER REPAIR IS MADE WE WERE STILL LEFT WITH AN OUTRAGEOUS BILL THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD. HONDA HAS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO REIMBURSE 100% OF REPAIR COSTS TO MAKE ODYSSEYS SAFE FOR TRANSPORTING FAMILIES.
