| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Honda is not honoring the extended warranty that they have on the transmissions of the 2001 honda odyssey. i purchased a honda recently and it turns out the seller did not disclose that the transmission is going out. i found out 5 days after bringing it home from a honda dealer. i also found out honda has an extended warranty on this but will not cover it because the car came from canada which was also not disclosed. both honda us and honda canada have extended warranties on this but will not cover it because it is a canadian honda (although it was sold by a us dealer in the us to the party i bought it from) and because i am a us citizen. i read an article in usa today that said honda had so many complaints on their transmissions that were extending the warranty on this year of honda odyssey and other vehicles they make to 100,00 miles or 7 years due to consumer complaints made to the nhtsa because nhtsa was getting ready to issue a recall. honda has refused to honor the warranty on the honda i purchased and it only has 40,000 miles on it and is a 2001. i did not know anything about as honda terms gray market cars. as far as i am concerned most of the honda's are made in canada that come into the pacific northwest , some are alloted for canada and some for the us as i have found out. but me as the average consumer knew nothing about this and honda does not want to honor this extended warranty because of that. honda made this automobile, they are having problems with the transmissions. they have extended warranties on it in both countries. this is a safety issue, i am scared to drive this vehicle now as i do not want to risk my childrens safety or mine if the transmission should fail completely, say on the freeway. honda knows of the problem and has an extended warranty on this and has refused to honor the warranty on this vehicle . can you please help me?*ak |
