Bought a 2001 Honda Odyssey Feb '01. Transmission replaced @99,729 miles, w/rebuilt transmission, because of strange noises when gears changed. On 11/24/09, approx 7:30pm, traveling on I-695 near baltimore MD, we experienced total transmission failure. Ten minutes earlier traction control system (tcs) & check engine lights came on simultaneously. The rpms began to increase dramatically; transmission stopped working, we glided about 10 feet to the side of the road, and stopped. Van was immobilized. Smell of burnt transmission fluid filled the van. Had we not been in right travel lane, the sudden stop could have been catastrophic. Vehicle towed by aaa to brown's Honda service, glen burnie MD. This van had about 156,532 miles on it, meaning the rebuilt transmission lasted only 52,803 miles.
