Tcs/check engine lights came on. Previous owner confirms that tcs/check engine light had turned on before. In both cases, the repair shop reset the lights and everything seemed fine. On the most recent shop visit, the lights were reset and the repairman commented on a slight late shift between 1 and 2. I hadn't noticed anything up until this point, so i decided to wait and watch for the shift issue. 6 months later,…

It lasted a few seconds and then stopped. This has happened 3 or 4 times now. Also, the check engine light came on and at the same time so did the tcs light. That light stayed on until the engine was restarted then after driving about 10…

Transmission failure at 100k miles. Gradually got worse and worse, until recently (137k miles) the shuddering was so bad, we had to finally bite the bullet and get the transmission replaced by honda for a whopping $3700 ($300 of that is 2 broken engine mounts). For a $32,000 vehicle, the transmission should last a minimum of 150k miles. I take meticulous care of my vehicles--imagine if i had neglected it! Honda…

My 1999 honda odyssey broke down when the transmission failed. It was towed to a honda dealer, who told us there was a "warranty extension". I checked online and apparently many people have had this problem. I seems like by calling it a warranty extension they know it is a problem but they refuse to recall it and fix it proactively, instead waiting for you to break down, risk an accident and then covering the cost.…

For at least four years, we…
