Hi There,
We bought our 06 exl 3 years ago as a Certified Used car, and it now has 71K miles on it. I never noticed any shuddering or problems (but I also have 3 loud kids) but the engine light came on last week (days after we paid it off) and it needs a new TC and Transmission. Thank god we are covered with the Certified Honda warranty and also we have Honda Care. It is getting installed now.
From all that I am reading, it sounds like the odyssey has transmission and TC problems. Not for everyone of course, but it doesn't look so good.
My question is, we have a car that will have a new trans and TC, a Honda Care warranty that can be transferred and is good for another 1.5 years, should we get out and buy something else? I feel like we dodged a bullet with this, but the new Transmission is good for 36k miles or 3 years which I am not impressed with.
What do you think? I am no Honda hater, but after this but I am no odyssey fan anymore!
I'd appreciate your thoughts. A paid off car is a wonderful thing, but waiting for the TC and Trans to fail again sucks.
Thanks in advance!
