I bought a 2002 Honda Odyssey from small dealer. Come to find out that the engine oil is leaking. It had 52000 miles on it. Dealer says it is out of warranty due to mileage. I believe that Honda should fix that problem for me as it is not due to wear and tear of the vehicle. I believe the seal is defective and should be replaced free of charge. The dealer is asking $600 to fix the problem. The vehicle also lunges forward when decelerating and coming to a graded stop.

Mary (my wife) was parallel parking our 2002 Honda Odyssey ex-L in downtown appleton, wi. She had pulled next to the car in front of the space she was going to use. She shifted the car in to reverse and began to turn her head to check benind her when the vehicle suddenly accelerated in reverse at very high speed, jumped the curb and crashed into a building. Fortunately nobody was on the sidewalk but the building and vehicle sustained substantial damage. She is certain she did not depress the accelerator and that the vehicle did this "on it's own". the vehicle is currently at gustman Honda where it is being inspected. Preliminary reports from the dealership indicate that they cannot find any computer or mechanical defects that would have caused this unintended acceleration. We are extremely nervous about driving the car again, especially if they can't find anything and will likely be looking to purchase a different vehicle. 8jb
