Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY IN AUG 2001 AND IN JUNE 2009 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 98000 MILES. TOOK IT TO WILLIS HONDA (THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM ) AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED (WITHIN EXTENDED WARRANTY (93 MONTHS & 109000 MILES) ON MILES AND 2 MONTHS OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON MONTHS. HONDA AGREED TO FOOT HALF THE COST ($1200) AS A ONE TIME GOODWILL. NOW IT IS 145000 MILES AND THIS WINTER SINCE JANUARY (I LIVE IN NJ) I NOTICE THAT WHEN IT IS COLD AND THE ENGINE IS COLD AND I START DRIVING WITHOUT WARMING UP AROUND 20-25 MPH THE ENGINE REVS (POSSIBLY BECAUSE THE GEAR SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND OR 2ND TO 3RD DOESN'T HAPPEN SMOOTHLY). TOOK IT TO THE WILLIS HONDA WHO HAD INSTALLED THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION IN JUNE 2009 (36 MONTH/36000 MILE WARRANTY). IT IS NOW LITTLE OVER 43 MONTHS AND AROUND 47000 MILES ON THIS TRANSMISSION. THEY SAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED ($5500) AND THAT REPLACING THE FLUID/FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. ARE TRANSMISSIONS EXPECTED TO LAST ONLY 47000 MILES. I THINK HONDA IS SELLING BAD EQUIPMENT. *TR
