| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 honda odyssey with approx 55k miles is experiencing intermittent automatic transmission slippage. i'm not sure the exact conditions that brings this about, and cannot reproduce it at will. but every now and then, when i step on the gas pedal to accelerate, the rpm shoots up really high but no acceleration occurs. i would have to let go of the gas and slow down until the transmission engages again. this is similar to what others are reporting on this website. i took my vehicle to a honda service center today and they could not recreate the problem and wanted me to take it back and drive it until the problem occurs again. i explained to the service rep. that this is not a good idea because i'm putting my family in danger and who knows if they will ever be able to recreate the problem as it is so intermittent at this stage. the service rep. escalated me to his manager and he will test my van further tonight and will call me tomorrow. the fact that honda has not recalled this problem and the way the problem is being handled by honda may lead to serious public safety issues not only for honda drivers but others on the road as well. *nm |
