Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In july of 2004 i received the recall notice for the 2002 honda odyssey for the transmission. i had called to bring my van in and told them that i was concerned because my van was not shifting properly and it had been driving "rough". i was told that if there was a problem with the transmission it would be replaced as instructed in the recall. of course, honda said nothing was wrong and added to my transmission the oil jet kit. i was told that there was nothing wrong with my transmission. intermittently over the next year and a half, my car would feel as though it was slipping or wouldn't shift smoothly. finally, in nov. 05 i backed out of my driveway, i put the car into drive and the car just sat there. it finally shifted to d after sitting for about a minute or so. while driving the car could not shift into 2nd the rpm would fly with no acceleration. i called honda to bring in my car and was told i would have to bring it in the following week. i insisted on the next morning. the car almost didn't make it to the dealer there was no acceleration and it would not shift out of first. we were told that we needed a new transmission and it would cost$6820 to replace. the car is not drivable. *jb
