Description of the problem | 2007 odyssey, bought on 18 jan 2010 from dch academy honda, old bridge, nj as a used vehicle. On the same week reported that there is problem in transmission. When accelerating at 40mph to 50mph, there a vibration observed constantly and transmission is getting locked at 1. 5rpm and not getting accelerating. When it got reported to used car department, mechanic was keep on saying that it is intended behavior while accelerating and because of big vehicle. I was not agreed and concern was passed on to the service manager in service department. Service manager after going through the test drive and service bulletins, he is told that there need to be software upgrade needed to solve this problem. Software upgrade is performed on this vehicle. Now the vibration is little bit reduced, but the problem is still exists. Again i had an appointment for test drive and there were two service managers tested this vehicle and after regressive test along with them, they agreed that vibration at 40-50mph speed and 1. 5-2rpm torque. Now they said there is a problem with torque converter in automatic transmission and need to be replaced after getting the part from honda. I am not totally confident that replacement of torque converter can solve this problem. They are just making some patch to temporarily mask the main problem in transmission. It will cost me more once my power train warranty gets expired. This problem may cause failure of transmission and may cause accident at run time. |
