Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2002 honda odyssey is 5 yrs old with 50k miles. for several months, upon a slight incline when accelerating, the rpm would increase a lot but the speed remains about 10-20 mph until the transmission shifts. during 1 event on jan. 18,2007, the problem was so severe that it lasted for awhile and fearing for our safety, we pulled over the car to the curb and stopped the car for several minutes before proceeding again. the fear was not only of stalling but if the transmission finally shifts, the minivan would lurch forward and rear end the vehicle in front. i have brought it in to a honda dealer on jan. 19 and still await an answer on whether honda would cover the cost of replacing the transmission. the honda service personnel said that it may not be covered at all which is very strange given the number of complaints regarding the 2002 year model and the class action lawsuit that honda lost regarding the '99-'01 models. *nm
