NHTSA Complaint #10408427 — 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY

WE DISCOVERED TODAY THAT OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY WAS IN NEED OF A NEW TRANSMISSION, THE SAD PART IS THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 89,500 MILES, THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT INSPECTED THE VAN TOLD US THAT THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO BE $4200. WE PRETTY MUCH EXPERIENCED ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT MANY OTHER USERS ARE MENTIONING ON THIS SITE, IT FIRST STARTED BY SKIPPING GEARS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD, THEN THE TCS AND EMC LIGHT CAME ON AND AFTER THIS EVERYTHING CAME DOWNHILL. THE DEALER TOLD US THAT THE VAN WAS SERVICED IN THE PAST TO TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL BY INSTALLING THE JET FAN COOLING THING, APPARENTLY THIS WAS A BANDAGE TO THE REAL ISSUE AS A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY DIED ON US. WE BOUGHT HONDA FOR THEIR APPARENT "SUPERIOR QUALITY" AND HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE DISAPPOINTED. WE FEEL LIKE WE GOT SCREWED AND IF THERE IS A RECALL OR SOME LEMON LAW WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE THIS JUST CAN NOT KEEP HAPPENING!!!!!!!! *TR
