In a weak moment, we purchased a used 2000 Ody EX (should have put up with the '88 Grand Caravan another month or so and bought a 2001, but that's another story).
We had some long talks with the dealer's general manager about the whole sales experience, and he agreed to do a few things for us, like install a hitch (when the bought the van, it had a hitch, but apparently someone high-graded it for their own rig!). We had also noticed one seat belt not always retracting.
(hold on, keep reading, if you're wondering if I'm replying to clunks or not)
So, we made the appointment for the hitch and for them to look at belts. (and to clean the carpets, etc.) In the meantime, we started a list of things we had noticed, which might need attention, like -- drive forward, stop, back up, hear a CLUNK in 15 or 20 feet. So, we mentioned that to them, and I said I thought I had seen mention of a TSB.
To their credit (or maybe, so they could bill Honda America and make even more money on the deal), they found several minor recall items to fix, and -- ta-da -- they ordered a new transmission. (hey, we got about 115,000 miles on the Dodge tranny before it had to be rebuilt). So, next week, at about 29,000 miles, we will be taking it in for a new transmission.
So, if the clunk bothers you -- tell them you've heard they can give you a new transmission under warranty.
