Consumer Description

TODAY, WHILE DRIVING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL, MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY STARTED TO ACT FUNNY. THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND DOWN. THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING GEARS UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING AT THE SAME CONSTANT SPEED. THEN, THE TCS LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ALSO, THE D IN THE SHIFTER DISPLAY STARTED FLASHING. BARELY HAD TIME TO PULL PART WAY INTO A MALL PARKING LOT DRIVEWAY, HALFWAY OUT OF TRAFFIC BEFORE THE CAR LOST ALL MOMENTUM AND STOPPED. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED BY DEALER AND AUTHORIZED HONDA MECHANIC AT SUGGESTED INTERVALS SINCE THE VAN WAS BOUGHT OFF THE LOT NEW. *TR
