Most times when I press on the brake and shift into drive or reverse, the dash will register a flashing D3. I have no idea what this is but I do know that the stopping is more responsive at this time. Also, I will go to start the vehicle but it doesn't start. Interior lights and dash would be working but no way to turn over. If I engage my brake and jiggle the shifter, it will do something that finally allows me to start it. This had left me stranded more times I would like but finally a helpful citizen showed me how to jiggle the shifter to get it to engage. I shouldn't have to do this at least once a week.

I BOUGHT MY 2007 ODYSSEY IN 2014. IT HAD 55000 MILES ON IT AND APPEARED TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT RAN VERY WELL EXCEPT THAT THE EMISSIONS LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND USUALLY STAY ON. IT DID PASS DURING ONE SHORT PERIOD. NOTICED AS IT WENT OVER 60,000 IT HAD MORE AND MORE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WOULD NOT BACK UP; WOULDN'T GO INTO ECO MODE; SHUDDERED DURING DRIVING, UNTIL IT WAS UNDRIVEABLE. THERE WERE NO CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WORKED WELL.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, OUR TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA SHOP AND THE CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST APROX. $5,800.00. 37 MONTHS AGO HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION THE 1ST TIME BECAUSE OF A RECALL. WHEN WE SPOKE TO HONDA, THEY TOLD US THEY DID NOT WARRANTY RECALLS. SO, NOW OUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILY IS NOW WORTH $500.00. WE THINK HONDA EITHER REPLACED THE RECALLED TRANSMISSION WITH AN INFERIOR PRODUCT TO SAVE MONEY, OR USED THE SAME RECALLED TRANSMISSION TO REPLACE OUR FACTORY TRANSMISSION. IF WE HAD KNOWN THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON RECALLED REPAIRS, WE WOULD HAVE DONE THINGS DIFFERENTLY. *TR
