Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY VAN WITH MY TWO KIDS IN IT WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE VAN WAS JERKING FREQUENTLY AND THERE WAS NO PICK UP. THE RPM WENT TO 4 AND 5 THOUSAND BUT THE SPEED WAS NOT ABLE TO GO BEYOND 50 AND 60 MPH. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS ON A FREEWAY. WHEN I TOOK THE VAN TO OUR USUAL MECHANIC SHOP, THEY FOUND THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I HAD TO SETTLE FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH HONDA ODYSSEYS BUILT DURING THE YEAR MY VAN WAS BUILT. I WOULD LIKE FOR NHTSA TO ENSURE HONDA PAYS FOR OUR REPAIRS AND ENSURES THE COMPANY FIXES ALL REMAINING VANS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS ISSUE. *TR
