1 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2004

When we purchased our 2002 Honda odyssey new, it started smoking like it was going to catch on fire. I pulled it out of the garage, because there was so much smoke. It was leaking transmission fluid all over. It was also making a clunking sound coming from the transmission when we drove it. This happened during the first week. Richfield/bloomington Honda had it towed at no expense. They finally replaced a head gasket and did some other repairs. We also told them that it was having trouble starting. We now have 43,000 miles, and have brought the car in for the recall, and they installed the oil kit. Shortly after they put in the oil kit, we noticed a sweet smell coming from the engine. While in chicago over christmas, we were on a busy interstate, and we switched lanes and I tried to accelerate. The rpms shot up four times, and the car acted like it was in neutral. We had 5 young children in the car and almost were in a bad accident. Cars were honking at us and one car just missed us. It was a very dangerous situation. Since then, this slippage at around 30-45 miles per hours has happened around 5 more times. After researching this on the internet and your complaint site, I have found that this problem is happening way too much to just be an isolated incident. We are contacting Honda, and then will contact our local dealership. I am wondering if Honda has done anything to fix the problem? with 43,000 miles on the vehicle, will Honda take care of this problem? please notify me if you have any addition information that would help us. Thanks in advance, brent bovitz.
