POWER TRAIN
IT HAPPENED BEFORE BUT I DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT. THE RECENT TIMES IT OCCURRED WERE ON LAST FRIDAY. PRESSING GAS PADDLE WON'T SPEED UP THE VEHICLE, BUT JUST RUNS THE ENGINE LIKE CRAZY WHEN I DROVE AFTER A STOP SIGN AND LEFT THE GAS STATION. BOTH TIME I WAS MANAGE TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK TO NORMAL SPEED. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, FOUND LOTS SAME CASES, I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS THE SIGN THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL !!!

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I TOOK MY VAN TO HONDA AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WILL NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR 99% OF THE TIME. MY VAN ONLY HAS 111,000 MILES ON IT AND I AM CONCERNED AS TO WHY IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT AND WAS TOLD A NEW TRANSMISSION FROM HONDA WOULD BE $4500. THERE IS NO REASON A TRANSMISSION SHOULD GO OUT AT 111,000 MILES WHEN IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED THROUGH HONDA OVER THE YEARS. MY CAR WILL NOT GO ABOVE 20 MILES AN HOUR ON MOST OCCASIONS. IF I REV THE ENGINE HIGH AND GET IT OVER 30, THEN IT WILL CHANGE TO 2ND GEAR. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATES AND I HAVE BEEN ALMOST HIT A FEW TIMES. I CANNOT ACCELERATE TO A SAFE, MERGING SPEED. MY DRIVE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES AND MY TCS WILL COME ON FROM HAVING TO REV THE ENGINE. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS WITH THEM IN IT. CAN THIS BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR DECIDEDS TO SHUT OFF WHICH IS SCARY AND HAS HAPPENDED MORE THAN ONCE AND NOT HAVING THE SPEED OF CONTROL OF TRYING TO GET OVER WHEN YOU ARE IN THE FAST LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS OF TIMES. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS HAPPENED TO BEFORE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND A SERIOUS SITUATION BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE CAR BEHIND YOU WILL SLOW DOWN. I ALWAYS END UP PRESSING MY EMERGENCY LIGHT RIGHT AWAY, HOPING THE OTHER DRIVERS ARE PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE I AM DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. FIVE KIDS I TAKE TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY AND MY MAIN CONCERN IS THERE SAFTEY AT ALL TIMES.

ENGINE
ALTERNATOR BRACKET (STAY) HAS BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NO WORK PERFORMED ON ENGINE NEAR BRACKET WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A NEW SERPENTINE BELT. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM SEVERAL OWNERS OF 2002 TO 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY, REGARDING REOCCURRING BREAK. SOME CASES THE PART HAS BROKEN NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS A POORLY MANUFACTURED PART AND HONDA MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES, AND REPLACE WITH RESTRUCTURED PART. THE BRACKET BREAKING CAUSES ALTERNATOR FAILURE, WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUTDOWN. IF THIS HAPPENS IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGERS COULD BE AT RISK OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
