NHTSA Complaint #10248362 — 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS VAN SINCE 2003, HONDA DID REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN JANUARY 2004, THE VAN IS A 1999, AT THAT TIME I HAD ABOUT 30000 MILES ON IT, OCTOBER OF 2007 MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY SON HOME FROM A SPORT EVENT ON THE HIGHWAY, BOTH OF US WERE VERY SCARED SEEING AS IT JUST WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, THANK GOODNESS NO ONE BEHIND US OR THEY WOULD HAVE HIT US, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE I90. I CALLED HONDA IS REGARDS TO THIS ASKING WHAT THE WARRANTY WAS , THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY A 3 YEAR WARRANTY ON THE REPLACED TRANSMISSION, I HAD 75000 MILES ON IT..SO I WENT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND NOW 1 YEAR LATER I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM VISITING MY SON AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA AND MY VAN WAS JERKING WHENEVER IT WAS SHIFTING INTO A DIFFERENT GEAR...AGAIN A GREAT HAZARD ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC WITH CARS GOING 60-90 MILES PER HOUR...THIS IS A GREAT DEFECT ON HONDAS PART WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS...I ONLY HAVE 83000. ON THIS VAN AND IT IS DUE FOR A 4TH TRANSMISSION, DOESN'T THAT SOUND UN REAL. I ALSO HAVE MY VAN IS WORKING ORDER AND TO THE MECHANIC OFTEN. *TR
