NHTSA Complaint #10470844 — 2000 HONDA ODYSSEY

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THERE WAS NO OTHER ISSUES. LATER CHECKED WITH THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH $4500. CHECKED THE HONDA OWNER LINK AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HONDA'S TRANSMISSION. IT EXTENDED ITS WARRANTY ON IT TO 100000 MILES/7 YEARS. MY CAR IS ALMOST 13 YEARS. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA DEALER TO SERVICE. I WAS NEVER BEEN TOLD IT HAD A RECALL. READ ON INTERNET ABOUT HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION, THERE WERE SO MANY MANY ODYSSEY OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE I HAVE NOW. IT WAS HONDA'S DESIGN FAULT. CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA AND FILED COMPLAIN. IT WAS RUDE AND COLD.IT IS TRUE MY CAR WAS ALMOST 13 YEARS. TOLD TO SOME MECHANICS ON THIS ISSUE, THEY ALL TOLD ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE COMMON AMONG HONDA CARS. I WAS LUCKY THE CAR WAS NOT DIE WHEN WE WERE 500 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. *TR
