Transmission Noise Problems of Honda Passport

The engine and transmission light came on and have been flashing, while I was on the street, then the steering wheel does not turn smoothly and the car produces noise when turning to the left or right or reversing. And while running, it produces smoke.

Bought new 2000 Honda Passport (isuzu rodeo) October 2001. July 2002, approximately 11k miles started having problems with vehicle, described to mechanics as clunking,banging, noise & in reverse,vehicle hesitated. (I have concerns documented)reported problem multiple times but told could not duplicate. "then,Nov 2004,previously conditions worsened & transmission failed at 45k mi. Towed to mike's transmission who installed replacement trans. Week later got vehicle & with in a month,trans light came on & car stalled while driving. Have had to take car in almost every month to get transmission fixed,at least 10x in less than 1 yr. I was taken outside by one mechanic & told I should trade car in b/c Passports "all have this problem" & they keep "replacing defective parts" in my vehicle with new defective parts". Couple days later, the trans light came back on. Took vehicle to miller Honda & paid for a 2nd opinion & was told trans was shot & fluid in trans was "burnt". Called mike's & they agreed to replace the trans again. A few days later,got vehicle back. Last Thursday,less than a month after receiving new transmission was driving on freeway in far left lane at 70 mph & lost all power from gas pedal to engine. Cars speeding past me as I uncontrollably lost speed. Maneuvered across 5 lanes & exited. Friday, found out flex plate/fly wheel severed,connects engine to,guess what,transmission!3 mechanics talked to never heard of this happening before,extremely unusual. So unusual that warranty CO won't cover b/c they've never heard of it,nor is it listed anywhere in their books. So,to have a vehicle,cost is $1,766. I'm so unbelievably upset I've been sitting at home,with no transportation,crying. Is it unreasonable to expect a new vehicle should last at least 3 years?(bought vehicle 10/01, trans failed 11/04)mechanics can't believe trans failed at 45k mi (had been complaining of problems as early as 11k mi)numerous people who own rodeo/passport have same problem. What's necessary for Honda/isuzu recall this vehicle?.

When driving, consumer heard a loud noise coming from front end of vehicle. Contacted dealer, dealer noticed that seals in transmission have no fluid entering in or out of transmission.
