| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dangerous condition exists. the 2002 honda odyssey, after driving 40 to 50 miles and when the car is down shifting to go up a hill or to pass another vehicle, it will down shift very violently into i assume 1st gear. it will go from about 2000 rpm to about 7500 rpms in an instant when the gas pedal is pushed down, even gently, in order to maintain highway speeds. this occurred about 10 times the friday prior to july 4, 200 6 and again on friday july 28. 2006 . after the first time we took the car to a honda dealer in tulsa, oklahoma. we told them the problem and they said the car's computer showed there was no problem. they drove the car for about 10 miles and could not make it do it again. i had told them they needed to drive it for 100 miles to make it do it again. after the second event, which was very much like the first, we took the vehicle to bob howard honda in oklahoma city and received almost exactly the same response. if they cannot drive the car and make it do what we are complaining about they say there is nothing they can do. what they do not realize is that it is a very serious condition with possible life threatening consequences. if you are driving down the interstate and come to a slight incline where the car, in order to maintain highway speeds, suddenly and without warning down shifts into first gear and the tachometer goes to 7500 rpms one could be rear ended by a vehicle following too close. i am a 63 year old white male who has been driving since i was 15 and i have never experienced this dangerous situation before. *jb |
