Unknown Or Other problem #1

I am having transmission problems, when shifting from 1st gear to second it slips and suddenly goes into gear, also when in 4th gear it tends to slip, rev up then jumps back into gear. I think its very dangerous and may cause an accident. I read the fourms on problems with the trans on the Odyssey and noticed there is too many complants on the same problem. I hope you can look into this issue and help resolve this issue for me and all the other Honda Odyssey owners. Thank you. . . . . .

Unknown Or Other problem #3

While driving on I-4 at 55 miles/hr, my Honda Odyssey's transmission gave up. It stalled without a warning. This is my 2nd transmission from Honda which was installed last 12/2009. Now after less than 2 yrs and 23,9000 miles later, the re-manufactured transmission malfunctioned. The worst thing, I was with my family when it happened and we were almost had a tragic accident. Just imagine a van traveling @ 55/hr and suddenly stopped on a busy 1-4 in orlando florida. Looking at the Honda Odyssey's forum, this is not an isolated incident. How can we prevent this from happening again? Honda had been sitting for nothing and waiting for a sentinel event to happen. This event should have been prevented if our government would enforce a much stricter rule.

Unknown Or Other problem #8

I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey. Two weeks ago, my sliding door sensor went off for no reason. The doors were closed but when the vehicle was placed into drive the alarm in the car would sound as if one of the doors was open. I checked the doors and after a couple of times of opening and closing them, the alarm did not sound. I was due to have the car serviced for its 75,000 mile service so I waited to bring it into the dealership. When I brought the vehicle in for it's routine service, as I do for each scheduled maintenance, I was told that the door switch was the problem and that it would cost $1,100 to fix. I explained that the vehicle was under an extended warranty that I purchased at the time I bought the vehicle. Honda in turn told me that they had called the warranty company (apparently the warranty was not a Honda extended warranty. Although, this is what rosenthal had portrayed it as) about the repair and that it was not covered. They told me that I could call the warranty company to complain if I felt so inclined to do. I called the warranty company and they said that the warranty had expired because of the mileage. The vehicle is just over 75,063 miles. They did not care that the warranty had expired. My question is how can this be a non-recall issue if a number of people have had the same problem. This situation is the exact reason why I purchased Honda's extended warranty. I believe that Honda is responsible for the repair. If I had know the doors on this vehicle would cost that much to fix I would have never purchased that van.
