What owners wrote

While coming to a stop for vehicles stopped at the traffic light at the end of my street, I rear-ended an oil truck in front of me. My driver's side airbag deployed as I applied the brakes to stop, causing me to lose control and hit the oil truck. My vehicle was totaled and my injuries were not severe.

Check engine light on; honda dealer talks about transmission issue and asking it to be replaced. Replacement cost: $6500 I heard that many other honda odyssey owners complaints about transmission problem and it has to be addressed that honda odyssey van is having critical transmission issue built between year 1999 to 2004. Transmission became defective with no reason, so much frustrated as vehicle has hardly done 100k miles.
