I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey and the transmission is going on the car. I had it at the dealership. They inspected it and said I had to pay $1,400. I told them I could not afford it at that time and I picked up my car. I have since contacted them and asked to do the service although I feel it should be a warranty item. They rescinded their offer to repair the car for $1400. I feel it should not be any cost to me the car has less then 100,000 miles.

I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey. I had the transmission serviced in August 2007. In December 2007, I took it in due to rough shifting. I was told it needed new engine mounts. Two weeks later, I took my family to the mountains on a getaway. It was slipping out of gear on nearly every other hill. When we got home, Honda agreed to cover 1/2 the replacement cost. My half was $1600. I read posting online where Honda had paid the entire repair cost for some customers. Why the disparity? my guess is that these transmissions are failing at ridiculously high rates, and they are trying to minimize their losses.

Previous recall NHTSA campaign id number : 04V176000 " fix" performed 2004 as part of recall was to install an oiling jet. Problem with the was an at failure at " high mileage". I did not have " alternative transmission " put in my vehicle at the time of the 2004 - they determined " fix " was adequate now that I am high mileage I have had a failure of my transmission with a near lock up. Honda America has offered a nominal reduction in cost but cost to me will be $1900 + $250 to make diagnosis. I believe Honda did not repair my vehicle correctly in 2004 and now I am paying the consequence of their failure to provide a correct repair. I am requesting more adequate financial coverage for replacement of failed defective at which is known to fail in this scenario - my current scenario - of high miles as the alternative procedure they did perform in 2004 - to add lubrication line - failed to meet the level of a reasonable correction of defective part. The regional Honda service representative says he has no way to find the images taken during the 2004 inspection evaluation used to determine that the at did not require replacement at that time due to criteria of wear.
