FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I DRIVE A 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY AND I HAVE 50,000 MILES. NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE MY GAS TANK AND ALTERNATOR. WHEN I CALL THE MANUFACTURE THEY SAY I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A DEALER MY CAR WAS ALREADY AT A REPAIR SHOP. TANK WAS BROKEN IN HALF AND ALL MY GAS WAS LEAKING. I HAD BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG WITH THIS PROBLEM I DRIVE FOUR CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES. WHEN I WAS GOING TO PURCHASE THIS VAN, I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH AND I CHOOSE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST RELIABLE CAR. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR TO REPLACE PARTS THAT SHOULD STILL BE IN GREAT CONDITION.*JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SECOND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TWO MONTHS AGO, HAD UNEXPECTED DOWN SHIFT FROM 4TH TO 2ND ON HIGHWAY (LUCKILY DEVOID OF TRAFFIC). HONDA REPAIRED TRANSMISSION BY REPLACING SOLENOID SWITCH, NOT REPLACING TRANSMISSION. AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING (THIS TIME ACCELERATING) TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, UNEXPECTEDLY ALLOWING NO POWER TO DRIVE WHEELS DURING ACCELERATION. LUCKILY WAS ON A DESERTED ROAD, NO OTHER TRAFFIC. IF I WAS PULLING OUT INTO HIGHWAY (AS WE HAVE TO DO TO LEAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD) RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC, AS UNEXPECTED INABILITY TO ACCELERATE/MOVE INTO TRAFFIC FLOW WOULD MOST CAUSE TRUCKS BARELLING DOWN HILL TO HIT US. LUCKY THIS HAPPENED 2 MINUTES AND 1/4 MILE EARLIER THAN THAT. OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY. DT
