    My 2002 honda odyssey has 42,000 miles. The engine began accelerating and the traction control light illimuniated. We drove the car straight to the dealership the day this happened and were told we need a new transmission at over $4000. I don't find this acceptable for a $33,000 vehicle. It was serviced less than a month ago for routine maintenance and checked out perfectly.
