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.

My half was $1600. I read posting online where honda had paid…

They rescinded their offer to repair the car for 1400.00. I feel it should not be any cost to me…

My 2002 honda odyssey started showing signs of transmission problem around 83,000 miles. It would go through its cycle ie; 1st, 2nd, then it will start slipping.

With so many odyssey's out there with the exact same…
