RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION AND TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY 2002 HONDA ODYSSEY AT 133000 (APPROX). THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY HONDA (LESTER RAINES) UNDER SAFETY RECALL AROUND 47000. CONTACTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, LESTER RAINES AND CROWN HONDA FOR ASSISTANCE AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE WE ARE BEYOND THE NORMAL WARRANTY. THIS WAS AFTER WAITING ALL WEEK FOR AN ANSWER. IN THE MEANTIME, LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE, HAD TO RENT VEHICLE TO GET BACK HOME ORIGINALLY ($258 CHARGE INCURRED). I FEEL THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL YEAR AFTER READING THIS SITE AND OTHER HONDA FORUMS AND WISH TO HAVE ASSISTANCE ON THIS. IM CURRENTLY LOOKING AT A $5000 REPAIR BILL IF REPLACED BY HONDA. I CAN GET IT DONE CHEAPER BY SOMEONE ELSE WITH BETTER WARRANTY. HOWEVER BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE AND KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS, I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WE'VE OWNED HONDA VEHICLES FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND RIGHT NOW, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR

AIR BAGS
WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING A BRAND NEW 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND STAYED ILLUMINATED (OCCASIONALLY TURNING OFF). WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON 7/16/07 BUT A FEW DAYS OF USING THE CAR (WE ONLY USE IT ONCE A WEEK, SOMETIMES LESS) THE WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN. ALSO, NOW THE "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" LIGHT NOW OCCASIONALLY TURNS ON, EVEN WHEN THERE'S AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT (THIS LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO ILLUMINATE ONLY WHEN THERE'S A CHILD-SIZE OBJECT OR PASSENGER). WE ARE GOING TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN.
