NHTSA Complaint #10280885 — 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION ISSUE PLEASE REFER TO HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0FALLE/467 THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AGAINST HONDA ODYSSEY'S TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHOSE OWNERS ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND OUR GOVERNMENT'S LACK OF ACTION TO ENFORCE THE BETTER QUALITY AND CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR CONSUMERS. I HAVE 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY WHICH NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION AT A QUOTED COST OF OVER $4,000 AT THE DEALER WHO DENIED FOR BEING ABLE TO COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. WHAT UPSETS ME IS THAT THERE IS A "GOOD-WILL REPAIR" BY THE HONDA MOTORS AMERICA, WHO HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUES INVOLVING ALL HONDA ODYSSEYS THEY MADE, NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND THEY ARE HANDLING IT ON A CASE BY CASE; NO UNIFORM REGULATIONS ARE BEING APPLIED. SUCH UNFAIR PRACTICES OF CUSTOMER SERVICES. AT THE MOMENT, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL I HAVE TIME TO TALK AND COMPLAINT TO THE COMPANY. NO ACTION WILL BE TAKEN ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY. HOWEVER, 99-2001 MODELS, THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 109K MILEAGE. SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS WITH OVER 145K-189K HAVE BEEN REIMBURSED THE COST BY THE COMPANY. AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO IT UNLESS YOU HAVE TO BE PERSISTENT AND LOUD. TAKING TOO MANY BUREAUCRACY IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM WHEN THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR IS WIDE SPREAD. *TR
