| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At 54,700 miles (july 2001) the car made a clunking noise when put into gear. tcs light and check engine light came on. service couldnot reproduce clunking problem. since the transmission was out of warrenty i kept driving making sure to have regular maintenance. it continued to "rev" when starting to move or excellerating quickly. tcs light and check engine light came on again at 100,000 (dec 2002). i questioned them again about the transmission but was told that it was a catalytic converter/ engine control system.( out of stock until february). tcs and check engine lights again in june 2003 at 117,900. code showed a transmission po740.transmission "smelled burned." sept. 2003 tcs and check engine light indicate trainsmission needs replacing. the dealer nor manufacturer had told me that the warrenty had been extended to 100,000. this transmission problem in the odyssey, and other hondas, is so wide spread that i can't believe nothing is being done for the consumer. my cousin in missouri owns a 1999 odyssey and she has had to replace both the trainsmission and catalytic convertor as well. a pretty big coincidence. i could name other parts we have both replaced. could it be that some parts of the odyssey are lemons? calling honda coporoate is a joke. they put you on hold, have a good laugh and then tell you they can't do anything because the car is over the mileage limit. they should be made to do the right thing. an investigation might change this arrogant company. |
