This form is not right- "equipment" was not generated properly 1) the vehicle maintenance, tcs and engine check lights illuminated. I took the vehicle to the dealer to check the vehicle. According to the dealer, the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. 2) this is the second transmission failure that I've had with this vehicle. The transmission was replaced at 69,000 engine miles and now at 160,000 engine miles and the vehicle was just 8 yrs old. 3) the dealer indicated that it would cost $3500 with assistance from Honda. Without assistance, the transmission would cost $4500. I started shopping around with different transmission shops and found that this vehicle is notorious for failing. I had it rebuilt for $1879.

This complaint does not concern a failure. It does however address a recalled tire valve stem, tech international / TR413. After having 4 new tires and valve stems installed on my 2002 Honda Odyssey minivan about 2 weeks ago, I learned of the recall notice in consumer reports magazine. Since then I went to walmart store in kenner, la.(suburb of new orleans) where the valve stems were installed and got one of the stems that are currently being installed and it is a TR413. As yet I have not had a problem with any of the 4 stems that were recently replaced, however I am concerned about their recall and their current availability and use at a major retailer. I also went to sam's club in kenner la. And found that they had the same stem on hand there too I plan to have the stems on my van replaced asap as tech international has offered to do so upon my request. My main concern is why the valve stems in question have not been removed from inventory at walmart, sam's and any other outlets that received them ? according to consumer reports magazine, a fatal rollover crash has already occurred in orlando, fla. And 2 recalls have been issued by tech international since then.

I was not notified about the recall of the vehicle for transmission failures. When I found out my transmission had to be replaced, I was told by Honda customer line employee at 800 999 1009 that a repair was made to my vehicle without telling me it was done. The recall was April 2004. The alleged repair was in May 2004. The alleged notice mailed to me was July 2004. I smell deception by Honda. They may be covering up a bigger problem with the Odyssey than NHTSA is aware. I have heard that several owners of 2002 Odyssey have had transmission failures that could lead to locking up of the vans and could lead to crashes. My van recently did not accelerate while entering the interstate in dayton Ohio. This nearly lead to a serious accident involving my wife and two kids. I learned of this recall from consumer reports. The so called repair in 2004 failed to correct the problem.
