Starter Solenoid Problems of Honda Odyssey

Our 1999 Honda Odyssey has had the p0740 torque clutch converter solenoid circuit (open) code displayed numerous times, we thought since it was a serious issue and the transmission had already been replaced within 20,000 miles that we should actually take it to the dealer in marysville, wa and have them do a transmission flush then a supervisor and said no you should have us run a diagnostic by one of our master techs. After reiterating this seriousness of our transmission issue the code coming on and delays in shifting mostly just barely noticeable, they assured us if we paid $129 for a diagnostic that a master tech could get to the issue, however they later told us after we got the car back and called on the issue that an apprentice (not a master tech) had done the entire inspection and came up with no problems except a different code having to do with up bad catalytic converter which had never been an issue before and told us we may need to get that replaced soon. The transmission code p0740 came up on our way home from the dealership. I told them of the code and the research I have done and asked what else to do and they told me there is nothing that can be done that is a transmission death code and we would need to replace the transmission, to which I asked even though it was just replaced 20,000 miles ago and he said maybe you got a bad transmission. Q: are they just all bad for this vehichle?.

Engine check light came on at about 72,000 miles. Took the car in to leigth Honda and they told me to replace the solenoid. I paid $400 and it was replaced . About 1,000 miles later the engine check light came back on. This time took it to auto park Honda in cary, nc. It had a torque converter failure code and transmission was replaced with a new transmission. I have had the repaired van back for two weeks and the engine check light has come back on again. We are waiting for auto park's response. I have been rea many, many complaints about the exact same problem at the autofan. Com web site.

Problems with vehicle dome lights dimming briefly. The purge control solenoid cycled off and on repeatedly, the a/c blower motor speed decreased and various dash/dome lights dimmed for approximately 10 seconds then revert back to its high speed setting and original brightness. There was a grinding noise that had come from the transmission which was repaired.
