A FEW DAYS AGO WE HAD TO TAKE OUR 01 ODYSSEY TO THE HONDA DEALER TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE THIRD TIME. LIKE CLOCKWORK EVERY 15000 TO 20000 MILES THIS CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. IS THERE ANYTHING WE ALL CAN DO TO ELIMINATE THIS ANNOYING PROBLEM FOREVER. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

2008 HONDA ODYSSEY SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD IN COLD WINTER EVENING WITH ALL ALARM LIGHTS IN THE DASH BOARD ON, AND COULD NOT START. IT DIDN'T RESPOND TO EVEN JUMP START. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ON ABOUT AN HOUR AND EVENTUALLY ALL OUT. POLICE SHOWED UP AT THE SCENE AND URGED TO TOW THE CAR AND LEAVE THE SITE DUE TO DANGER. UNFORTUNATELY, HE DIDN'T ISSUE A REPORT FOR THIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER TO CHECK WITH MY OWN EXPENSE. DEALER MECHANIC CHECKED IT NEXT DAY AND HE SAID THE BATTERY FAILED AND REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG, HE SAID. I ASKED IF THERE'S A RECALL FOR THIS AND ANSWERED NO. HE SAID THAT HE SAW THIS KIND OF ISSUE A FEW TIMES BEFORE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT THEN WHY IT IS NOT RECALLED YET. IT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD KILL MY FAMILY IF THERE'S A CAR BEHIND. IT IS ONLY 2YR AND 4M OLD NOW AND HAS 33,000 MILES. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME EXPERIENCING THIS. *TR
