NHTSA Complaint #10275970 — 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY

I'M WRITING TO YOU TO INFORM YOU ABOUT THE SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PUT INTO HONDA ODYSSEY'S FROM 2000-2003. FIRST OF ALL I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF. MY NAME IS HOANG PHAM AND MY FAMILY OWNS AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP IN ARLINGTON, VA AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LOYAL CUSTOMERS TO AMERICAN HONDA AND THEIR VEHICLES, ALWAYS HAVE RECOMMENDED THEIR PRODUCT TO CUSTOMERS LOOKING TO PURCHASE NEW VEHICLES SINCE WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH THEIR PRODUCTS. I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS AND HOW THEY HAVE ACCORDING TO THEM "KNOWN DEFECTS IN MATERIALS AND WORKSMANSHIP." I AM WRITING TO YOU NOW TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THESE VEHICLES ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT GETTING REPAIRED AND HAVING THE "UPDATED" TRANSMISSION INSTALLED, MY VEHICLE NOW SITS WITH ONLY 79000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF ANY ISSUES, I OBVIOUSLY CAN REPAIR THIS VEHICLE MYSELF BUT FIND IT HARD TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT A MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGES AS A DEFECT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE HAD A 109,000 MILES OR 7 YEARS AND 9 MONTHS WARRANTY EXTENSION ON IT BUT I BELIEVE THAT IS NOT ENOUGH. PEOPLE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY, LUCKILY FOR ME MY TRANSMISSION FAILED IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEED GOING 60-65 MILES PER HOUR. *TR
