Consumer Description

WE BOUGHT OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY FROM A PRIVATE PARTY IN MAY 2008 WITH AN ODOMETER OF 46,000 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN WELL SATISFIED WITH THE VAN SINCE THEN. WE NOW HAVE 101,000 MILES. WE WERE VISITING OUR DAUGHTER & FAMILY IN OXFORD, MS AND WERE RETURNING HOME TO ROCK HILL, SC NEAR TUPELO, MS (ABOUT 50 MILES) WHEN THE TACHOMETER REVVED UP TO 5000+RPM. WE HAD AAA TOW IT TO A SHOP IN TUPELO WHO DIAGNOSED A BURNED UP TRANSMISSION. THE SHOP ESTIMATE OF REPAIR TIME WAS 8.1 HRS BASED ON THE GUIDE THE OWNER SAID IT TOOK ABOUT THAT TIME TO REMOVE THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. WHEN CALLING AAA WE TOLD THEM TO TAKE IT TO ANY SHOP THAT COULD REPAIR IT. I WILL BE CONTACTING HONDA ABOUT ASSISTANCE ON THE REPAIR COSTS, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT THE HONDA DEALER. WE HAVE MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE FAITHFULLY ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL. *TR
