It isn't exactly a secret that there have been instances of Honda V6
auto transmission failures in numbers far above what could be considered
a normal statistical average. I don't know exactly how many failures
there have been, and I'm sure Honda isn't eager to publicize that kind
of data, but there have been enough to cause at least one class-action
lawsuit to be filed and the factory warranty period extended to 100,000
miles for certain model years.

It's not just random chance that has caused failures specific to V6 auto
trannys over multiple model years of Accords and Odysseys dating back to
1998. I don't know what else you'd call it besides an engineering flaw.
It's certainly a marked downturn for a company that used to be known for
the superior engineering of its powerplants.

The problem with mine is an increasing reluctance to shift. And as I
mentioned in another post, I don't have the code # yet but will post it
when I do.
