Consumer Description

ONE MONTH AGO, MY HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND HESITATE WHEN I DROVE INTO FREE WAY. ALMOST REAR-ENDED BY CARS BEHIND. AND ALSO, ENGINE AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO TURN ON EMERGENCY LIGHT AND DRIVE AT ABOUT 40 MILES/HOUR ON THE FREE WAY. THE SLIP SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE AUTO TRANSMISSION SWITCHES BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. WHEN PUTTING ON GAS TO ACCELERATE, IT CAN TAKE LONG TIME (1 MINUTE) TO GO FROM 20 MILES/HOUR TO 40 MILES/HOUR, AND DURING THAT TIME, IT MAY SUDDENLY ACCELERATE IF THE TRANSMISSION DECIDES TO SPEED UP!!!! VERY DANGEROUS!!!! SINCE THEN, THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY. CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO COVER ANY COST TO FIX IT. A HONDA DEALER DID AGREE TO COVER 40% OF THE REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS VERY OFTEN ON HONDA CARS, PLEASE URGE HONDA TO STEP UP AND ACCEPT THEIR TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AND TO COVER 100% COST FOR THE REPAIR. *TR
