NHTSA Complaint #10425698 — 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY

I HAVE A 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY WITH 111,111 MILES AND WE CURRENTLY LIVE OVERSEAS IN ENGLAND. MY CHECK ENGINE AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON FIVE DAYS AGO AND SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN DOWN HILL. IT HAS TROUBLE GETTING INTO REVERSE AND NOW IT IS SCIPPING REALLY BAD IN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA AND SINCE IT IS US SPEC AND HAS TO SHIP THE TRANSMISSION FROM THE STATES IT WILL COST 7500 POUNDS AND WITH THE EXCHANGE RATE IT WOULD BE ABOUT 12000 DOLLARS. WE DO NOT HAVE MANY CHOICES AS THEY ARE NOT MANY SHOPS THAT WILL WORK ON AMERICAN SPEC CARS. WE LOVED THE VAN UP UNTIL THIS ALL STAREDWE HAVE TO MAKE THE CHOICE TO GET RID OF THE CAR AS IT IS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH. WE ARE REALLY IN A BIND AS WE ARE A FAMILY OF SIX AND THIS IS OUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT
