    1999 honda odyssey transmission failed and was replaced only 3,000 miles out us warranty and within the canadian warranty the car was sold under. Honda has covered under an extended warranty other similar model years and should have covered this one under recall. The failure of these transmissions at an alarming rate, outside the identified transmissions, and without recall is a very dangerous consumer situation.

    Problem with shifting on automatic transmission from 2nd to 3rd gear. Engine races and does not want to go into 3rd gear. Had transmission repaired, and found that the 2nd gear clutch plates had severe premature wear, and the clutch plates were grooved (not smooth like the 3rd gear clutch plates, and not what was shown in the repair manual). The replacement clutch plates were smooth, as shown in the repair manual. Ts

    Transmission failing. Clutch engages late and suddenly: engine revs as gas is applied but clutch doesn't engage, then clutch engages suddenly, causing car to jerk forward hard. This is dangerous--can't pull out into traffic, because i don't know if car will actually go when i step on the gas, and car coasts as transmission tries (but fails) to shift between e.g. 1st and 2nd. Please require a recall on this--many…
