I bought a 2001 honda odyssey and within 5 months of owning it I broke down on the highway. I was driving and all of a sudden the rps went up and down and the van stopped within 60 seconds. I am the second owner and since buying the car this has never happened. I had the car towed to my house and then to a dealer. I was told that it needed a new transmission which would cost between 2100 and 2500.00.
