OK I bought a Certified Used Odyssey TWO DAYS ago. While I was test driving it and after I bought it, it was intermittently stalling after coming to a stop. At first, the dealer could not duplicate it but now they have determined that it needs a new transmission (See 'Stalling' a few topics down.). I've had it THREE DAYS! I've read several people with bad transmissions on this list, and now I'm worried. I am probably with in my rights to back out of this deal now (I think I have 72 hours in Ohio).
What do you think? I have a 7 year/100,000 mile (from original purchase) powertrain warranty with the Certification process, so even if it goes out again in another 40,000 miles, I'll be covered. But my intention was to try to keep this van for about 10 years, which would put the mileage at about 180,000. That's FOUR new transmissions at this rate (Two under warranty).
Am I being paranoid? Should I back out now and go buy a new Caravan?
