4 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2010

Took 2006 Honda Odyssey to the dealership again complaining of strong engine shudder when accelerating and between gear shifts. Shudder is so strong whole car shimmies including steering wheel. I have taken the car in for this on two separate occasions (at 60,000 and 90,000) and it has not been properly diagnosed. Just 5 months and a few thousand miles later I am being told that I need a new transmission. Very interesting that it's the same issue I have been in for before when the car was under warranty. Car does not feel safe to drive.

The failure recurred a second time and the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was advised that the transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure persisted intermittently once the vehicle would become hot.

7 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 08/06/2006

After the service was done at Honda(a b type service); I am feeling a jerk after pressing the brake pedal on speed. With kids in the car this is a scary experience, Honda dealer didn't acknowledge they did anything with this. Though it appeared just after that. I took my Honda for service at Honda twin city at savoy,IL.
