My 2002 Honda Odyssey, is not shifting properly between 2nd and 3rd gear, it simply "revs" and will not shift up. If you slow down and start over, it is fine. Honda has not been helpful, they tell me the vehicle is out of warranty, even though I purchased the vehicle used along with the extended warranty. Upon research I find there are many out there who have been through the same experience, Honda perhaps needs a class action lawsuit before they pay attention to their poor engineering.
