    Automatic Transmission

    I own a 2001 honda odyssey. The first transmission was replaced with a remanufactured transmission at 86k miles. It was replaced "free of charge" under the extended warranty. The "new" transmission was guaranteed for 1 yr or 12k miles. I communicated my frustration with the warranty of 100k on the first transmission and only 12k on the new/improved one?

    Automatic Transmission

    The transmission does not hold the position of the vehicle. For example, if i shift into drive, the car can drift backward, requiring i use the brakes and the gas at the same time to avoid hitting something behind me. The transmission also does not slow the car on hills. If i am in d1, the car will fly down a hill as if it is not in any gear. The honda dealer insists this is normal. I do not know if it is acceptable…
