Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission failure at 100k miles. gradually got worse and worse, until recently (137k miles) the shuddering was so bad, we had to finally bite the bullet and get the transmission replaced by honda for a whopping $3700 ($300 of that is 2 broken engine mounts). for a $32,000 vehicle, the transmission should last a minimum of 150k miles. i take meticulous care of my vehicles--imagine if i had neglected it! honda should seriously consider extending all 2nd generation odyssey transmission warranties out to 150k. *jb
