My husband and I bought a used 2001 Odyssey with 104,000 miles. Within a month the transmission began to slip. We looked on line and saw that the transmission for this year was on recall. We took it to the dealership who informed us that we had exceeded the recall limit by 3000 miles (we were then at 118,000). We could have a rebuilt transmission installed for $4000. We told them that was insane considering it was only a 3000 mile discrepancy for the recall. . . . . They shrugged. We took it to aamco, who rebuilt it for $2600, a substantial savings. However, here we are, two years later and it goes again. . . . Suddenly! I was driving in tampa rush hour traffic with my two children in the car, when my tcs light comes on, and my d4 starts flashing. I felt the transmission drop when I pulled to a stop at the light. When I began to go again, it barely crawled, though registering 2500 rpm. I stopped at an auto parts store, whose computer read various codes: driveshaft, O2 sensor, solenoid, and two others which he said were transmission related. So I begin to drive the car to aamco which is 1 mile away. I had to make a u-turn, and two lefts with the car barely moving with both of my children in the car. I get to aamco, and he tells me that I passed my warranty with him 7000 miles ago and I'm out of luck. So I dangerously chug this thing and my children home, hoping we make it. We did, but now what?.
