Consumer Description

OUR ODYSSEY HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED A LITTLE ROUGH, BUT I ATTRIBUTED THAT TO ITS AGE BUT ON 7/18/14 WE WERE ON GROCERY STORE VISIT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TCS LIGHT, AND MAINTENANCE REQUIRED LIGHT ALL CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC TO GET THE CODES READ AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, BUT IT WAS DRIVING FINE SO I KEPT GOING AND HAD OUR NORMAL MECHANIC TAKE A LOOK AT IT ABOUT A WEEK LATER. HE TOO SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, AND THAT WE SHOULDN'T NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, SO TAKE IT TO HONDA AND GET THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THE SERVICE ADVISOR KEPT SAYING "THIS VEHICLE ISN'T GOING TO GO VERY FAR, IT'S GOING TO LEAVE YOU ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD" BUT, WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY RIGHT NOW, AND SINCE IT'S DRIVING "OK" JUST SHIFTING THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS HAS, WE DECIDED TO TAKE IT HOME. *TR
