Wow, I'm really shocked that Honda isn't willing to own up to their faulty transmission problem. My wife's '02 Odyssey just had the tranny fail this weekend. It was the same story that everyone else has been reporting -- 95k on the odometer and the van suddenly won't shift correctly. The van has always been serviced at the dealer and has never seen any heavy use -- no towing, no carrying large loads, no long trips. We took it to the Honda dealer and they tell us it has failed and needs to be replaced. Cost to replace is $4,750. Honda USA's offer is to contribute $2k toward repair cost. I REALLY don't think that's very reasonable after what I've learned reading the posts on this site and others. I guess I will be spending the next few days doing battle with Honda USA.
Through all my previous experiences with Honda I've felt they were one of the best car makers out there, but after this I am really disappointed. Don't they realize the reason people buy Hondas in the first place is so that they don't have to worry about ending up in this type of situation.
