1. "check engine" light came on about more than 1 yr ago, one week after a regular maintenance at the dealers. I brought it back to the dealer, and the service adviser drove it around, and said he will just reset the light. 2. While driving on the freeway on 5/9/2009, i accelerated trying to pass a car, and the car jerked very badly (the service adviser called it "slipped gear"), and later, same symptom happened…

Automatic Transmission
The car slips from 2nd to 3rd gear. The failure occurs often, at least 3 times a day. The consequence of the failure is that the care is not engaged in a gear so we have to pull off the road to try to reengage the transmission. I took the car to the honda dealer, they said i will have to pay $2,500 for the new transmission. This is not acceptable since it is honda's fault, a bad transmission in the 2002-2004…

I'm an original owner of a honda odyssey 2002, with 66k miles on it as of 4/6/2009. The transmission starts slipping at approximately 30-45 mph on the highway. It would shift back and forth between neutral to drive gear. Sometimes, it harshly jerks between gears. The check-engine and tcs lights turned on most of the time. We don't feel safe using this vehicle for fear its transmission could stop any time while on…

No unusual events led to the failure. The vehicle was being driven in suburban traffic, mostly at highway speeds, with the occasional stoplight. The failure is that the automatic transmission fails to shift, or shifts with a lurch or a shudder, generally in the higher gears. It also occasionally fails to shift into reverse and requires several movements of the shift lever. The dealer has stated that the transmission…
