2003 Honda Odyssey Power Train

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER HAS BECOME VERY LOOSE AND ALSO ALLOWS REMOVAL OF THE CAR KEY IN ANY GEAR, RATHER THAN JUST IN PARK. THIS LEAD TO THE CAR ROLLING AWAY AFTER BEING PARKED ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN IT TURNED OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS INADVERTENTLY SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL RATHER THAN PARK AND THEN THE KEY REMOVED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING, SLIPPING. AFTER THE D ON THE GEAR INDICATOR STARTED FLASHING. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR HAS A DIFFICULT TIME GOING INTO THE NEXT GEAR REVVING UP TO 6000 RPMS ITS GOTTEN SO BAD AT TIMES THAT IT WONT GO INTO REVERSE. HONDA DEALERS IN THE AREA ARE GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AS TO WHEN THE 2004 RECALL WARRANTY IS UP. APPARENTLY MY CAR (1 PREVIOUS OWNER) WAS SERVICED FOR THE RECALL. DOESN'T HONDA HAVE TO HELP IF THERE IS THIS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR? LITERALLY GOOGLE 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPLAINTS ARE ENDLESS IN THE THOUSANDS. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 4 AND CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THIS OR BUY A NEW CAR. *TR

137,000 MILES, TRANSMISSION FAILED. ALL SERVICE HAD BEEN COMPLETED BY THE DEALER DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE DEALER AND HONDA OF AMERICA WOULD NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ECU. EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THE ECU HAS A TSB ON IT. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS, CAUSED ENGINE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO OR OUT OF GEAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE TOLL WAY AT 65 MPH THE TCS & ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE D (DRIVE) INDICATOR BEGAN FLASHING. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING THE VEHICLE BEGAN LOSING SPEED AND PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR INCREASED THE ENGINES RPMS BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL SLOWING DOWN. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND DISCOVERED NO FORWARD OR REVERSE MOVEMENT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER THAT NIGHT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS CONTACTED BY THE SERVICE ASSOCIATE AND TOLD THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND PCM WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $6100.00.

THE TRANSMISSION IS BEGINNING TO FAIL AS INDICATED BY THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING (PRESS ACCELERATOR AND ENGINE RACES WITH NO POWER TO THE WHEELS) FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH ON A TRIP OF ABOUT 5 MILES. THIS HAPPENS ON ABOUT EVERY OTHER TRIP AND IS INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. *TT

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 94,000 MILES CAUSED BY FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,000.

HI, HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THE 03 ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FOR CHIPPING OF METAL, OVER HEATING, ETC. RIGHT NOW MY CAR WILL NOT ENGAGE FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE FOR 10-15SEC AND WHILE DRIVING WILL ACCELERATE FOR NO REASON, WHICH I BELIEVE ARE VERY MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. SPOKE TO HONDA CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY WILL NOT TAKE CARE OR FIX THESE ISSUES CASE#[XXX] ON 1229/2011. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE TRAVELING FROM FLORIDA TO VIRGINIA DOWN I95 AT 70MPH IN CRUISE CONTROL, I SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION AND LOOKED UP IN TIME TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I PULLED OVER AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CONTINUED TO BURN AND SMOKE FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THEN THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER CAUGHT FIRE. WE WERE ABLE TO EXTINGUISH IT AND HAVE IT TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER, WHERE WE WERE TOLD THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON. THIS VAN HAD ALREADY HAD THREE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE RECALL PERFORMED AFTER A SIMILAR INCIDENT BY A PREVIOUS OWNER THAT CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO NEED TO BE REBUILT. AFTER BEING LEFT WITH NO OTHER OPTION, I OPTED TO REFILL TRANSMISSION FLUID AND CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAN BACK TO VIRGINIA. THE VAN OPERATED PERFECTLY AND HAD NO ISSUES FOR THE REST OF THE SIX HUNDRED PLUS MILE TRIP HOME. I AM OF COURSE NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE EVEN THOUGH IT RUNS LIKE IT NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. IT GAVE NO INDICATION OF TROUBLE BEFORE THIS SUDDEN OVERHEATING EITHER. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE ESPECIALLY SINCE WE WERE TRAVELING WITH THREE SMALL CHILDREN INCLUDING A BABY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ALONG AND IT FELT AS THOUGH IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL. THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO SHOW REVOLUTIONS ON THE TACHOMETER BUT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO A STOP. I COASTED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND PROCEED FOR ABOUT THREE MINUTES AND THE SAME THING AS ABOVE HAPPENED. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND HE CAME TO MY LOCATION IN A DIFFERENT CAR. I FOLLOWED HIM FOR ABOUT FOUR MILES WHILE HE DROVE THE HONDA ODYSSEY, 2003 AND OBSERVED THE SAME THING TWO MORE TIMES UNTIL WE REACHED A GARAGE WHERE OUR CARS HAD BEEN WORKED ON BEFORE. THE NEXT DAY ON SATURDAY, MY HUSBAND DROVE HIS CAR TO THE GARAGE AND TOOK THE HONDA TO THE DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A MILE FROM WHERE IT WAS PARKED ALL NIGHT ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9. *TR

TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY BEGAN SLIPPING - NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED -- OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY -- HAVE READ ABOUT MANY SIMILAR CASES WITH THE HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION ---HONDA SHOULD BE FIXING/REPLACING THIS DEFECT FOR ITS CUSTOMERS! *TR

ATTEMPTING TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FROM OUR DRIVEWAY TO THE STREET, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED ON OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY CATCH IN EITHER REVERSE OR DRIVE. ONCE IT DID ENGAGE, IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD SHAKE AND JERK THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. WE DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 2 MILES TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC TOLD US WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND ALSO INSTALL AN ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. THE REPAIR WILL COST US $4,700. WHILE HE NOTED THE VEHICLE OTHERWISE LOOKED IN EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION, TRANSMISSION FAILURES WERE VERY COMMON FOR HONDA ODYSSEYS MANUFACTURED FOR THE 2002-2004 MODEL YEARS. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AROUND HONDA'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FOR BOTH THIS VEHICLE AND OTHER MODELS. WHAT OTHER INFORMATION DOES DOT/NHTSA NEED TO MOVE TOWARD A RECALL? *TR

FIRST TRANS DRIVE INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING.PAID TO REPLACE SENSOR AND FLUSH TRANS OIL.THREE WEEKS LATER TRANS REFUSES TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK.,I OPENED STEERING WHEEL OVERRIDE AND TRANS IS WORKING FINE EXCEPT I MUST EMPLOY OVERRIDE FEATURE TO SHIFT GEAR. *TR

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILED AT HWY SPEED ON THE TAPPEN ZEE BRIDGE NY AFTER BEING TOLD BY TWO DEALERS ONE IN CANADA AND ONE IN NY STATE THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO LOW GEAR, REVVED HIGH, TCS LIGHT CAME ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND D3 LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. *TT

MY 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY STARTED EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN AUGUST 2010 AT AROUND 62,000 MILES. MOST OF THE PROBLEMS WERE OBSERVED WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY IN SHIFTING, IT CREATES A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. *TR

I WAS TOLD APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AGO THAT THE REASON THE SHIFT WAS HARD WAS BECAUSE I HAD TWO BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. THEY WERE REPAIRED AND THEY SUGGESTED CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEN RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING I NOTICED MY CAR HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD GEAR AND THE RPMS WERE GOING CRAZY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $4200. I HAVE SPENT ABOUT $1500 THIS YEAR ON REPAIRS FOR THIS VAN. I ALWAYS HAVE DRIVEN HONDAS AND TOYOTAS AND FULLY EXPECTED TO GET OVER 200,000 MILES OUT OF THIS VAN. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED TO FIND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT HONDA IS NOT HELPFUL. THIS IS MY LAST HONDA. *KB

MY HONDA ODYESSY'S TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED WHILE ON A FAMILY TRIP. I HAVE KEPT UP WITH THE SERVICE SCHEDULED OUTLINED BY HONDA. VAN HAS 122K ON IT NOW. I BOUGHT A HONDA EXPECTING TO GET THE LONG HAUL OUT OF IT! 122K IS NOT MY IDEA OF THE LONG HAUL! THE ESTIMATE IS A $4000 COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION! I HAVE READ ABOUT THE LAW SUIT THE WAS WON AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS WAS NOT A RECALL OF SOME SORT! THERE IS CLEARLY A BIG PROBLEM, THERE IS A WEBSITE CREATED JUST FOR THIS ISSUE! IF I HAD NOT DONE ALL OF THE MAINTENANCE OR DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THE CAR I WOULD NOT BE SO UPSET. CODE P0730, GEAR RATIO FAILURE. *KB

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE - WHILE DRIVING ON I-65N IN INDIANA, AT 70 MPH, TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP IN THE FAST LANE AT 8:00 P.M. VEHICLE SKIDDED ABOUT 30 FEET, STOPPED AND MYSELF AND FAMILY QUICKLY EXITED VEHICLE. I CALLED 911 TO GET TROOPERS TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS ABOUT IMMOBILE VEHICLE IN FAST LANE OF INTERSTATE. RAN BACK ABOUT 70 YARDS TO FLAG TRAFFIC OVER TO SLOW LANE TO AVOID SOMEONE GETTING KILLED. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE STANDING OUT IN THE MEDIAN WAITING FOR HELP TO ARRIVE. THANKS TO SOME KIND INDIANA DRIVERS FOR STOPPING AND ATTEMPTING TO PUSH VAN OUT OF ROAD BUT WITH TRANNY LOCKED UP, NO MOVEMENT WHATSOEVER. TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKED UP. TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY RUINED, NEED NEW UNIT. ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR $ 3,580. *KB

VEHICLE POPPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE MOVING AT 50MPH AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. UPON STOPPING ON SIDE OF ROAD AND SHIFTING FROM D TO PARK AND BACK TO D, THE VAN WAS ABLE TO MOVE FOR A FEW HUNDRED YARDS. AT 35MPH IT POPPED OUT OF GEAR AGAIN. DID SAME THING WITH TRANSMISSION AND WAS ABLE TO "LIMP" HOME AS LONG AS VEHICLE STAYED UNDER 30MPH. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALER AND FOUND OUT TRANSMISSION IS BAD. I HAVE A 7YR/105,000 MILE WARRANTY, BUT IT EXPIRED LAST YEAR. I ONLY HAVE 103,000 MILES ON THE VAN. THE REPAIR IS QUOTED AT $4200. I HAVE COMPLETE AND TIMELY SERVICE RECORDS AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR THE LIFE OF THE VAN. *TR

OUR 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY HAD A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FROM A STOPPED POSITION IN A BUSY TURN-LANE. THE ENGINE REVVED WHEN GAS WAS APPLIED, THEN THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON, AN ERROR CODE APPEARED,AND THE DRIVE GEAR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. SOMEHOW I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN AND PARK SAFELY IN A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO MEL RAPTON HONDA. WE WERE OFFERED A RENTAL CAR AT $25 PER DAY, OUR COST, WHICH WE DECLINED. THE NEXT DAY WE RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM MEL RAPTON HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYING THAT OUR TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE COST TO US WOULD BE $4,589.94. WE THEN INFORMED HIM THAT WE WERE AWARE OF THE ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT FOR CERTAIN MODEL YEARS, AND THAT THE 2003 MODEL HAS TRANSMISSION DESIGN FLAWS THAT HONDA IS WELL AWARE OF. WE ASKED THAT HE CALL HONDA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT 100%, AS ANY COMPANY WITH INTEGRITY FOR THEIR PRODUCTS SHOULD. WITH NO APOLOGY, HE SAID HE WOULD CALL THEM AND GET BACK TO US. HE THEN CALLED US BACK TO STATE THAT HONDA WOULD COVER 25% OF THE COST ONLY, AND GIVE THE REPLACEMENT A 3YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY. WHEN WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, THE WARRANTY WAS NOT IN WRITING UNTIL WE INSISTED ON THEM DOING SO. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLERK HAND-WROTE IT SLOPPILY ON THE RECEIPT AND THEN MADE A COMPUTER NOTE WHICH HE PRINTED OUT. NOTHING WAS IN WRITING FROM HONDA DIRECTLY. NOW, TODAY, THERE IS AN OIL LEAK AFTER THE REPLACEMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY THE DEALERSHIP.

2003 HONDA ODYSSEY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. STARTED WITH LONG SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, THEN EVENTUALLY WITHIN 2 MONTHS (MAYBE 1000 KMS LATER) FAILED TO SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 3RD AT ALL. ULTIMATE FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT OCCURRED AT 165,000 KILOMETERS. NO INJURIES/DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HONDA ODYSSEY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED BLACK SMOKE FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ALSO DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO DIFFERENT PRIOR OCCASIONS AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AGAIN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

BOUGHT MY ODYSSEY USED, CERTIFIED WITH THE 7YR/100K MI WARRANTY FROM A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN ALEXANDRIA, VA IN MAY 2006 WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. HAVE HAD IT SERVICED BY MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP EXCLUSIVELY SINCE PURCHASING. LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO (AT ABOUT 99000 MILES), I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST ODD EXPERIENCE WITH SHIFTING UP/DOWN WHILE AT EXPRESSWAY AND FREEWAY SPEEDS. I RETURNED HOME WITHIN 50 MILES AND PARKED THE CAR UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (2 MILES FROM MY HOUSE). FIRST THING THIS MORNING (ABOUT 7:30 AM), TOOK THE ODYSSEY TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC OF THE TRANSMISSION AND TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED AND/OR REPLACED AS NEEDED AS WELL AS ANY OTHER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED. RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 1 PM TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, AS THE OLD ONE WAS SHOT. THE PRICE QUOTED TO ME FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL MODULE WAS ABOUT $5000, NOT WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR OR WAS EXPECTING. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN LAST JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ANY REGULAR MAINTENANCE NEEDED, EXPECTING ANY ABNORMALITIES WOULD BE NOTED. I WOULD HAVE BEEN DUE FOR ANOTHER OIL CHANGE ABOUT NOW, BUT I JUST RECENTLY CHANGED THE OIL AND OIL FILTER MYSELF, LESS THAN 3000 MILES AGO. HOW IS IT THAT A SUPPOSEDLY RELIABLE VEHICLE CAN, WITHOUT WARNING, GO FROM 100% FUNCTIONING TO NEEDING A MAJOR DRIVE COMPONENT REPLACEMENT? I JUST CALLED HONDA CORPORATE FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS, AS A MAJOR EQUIPMENT FAILURE OF THIS NATURE SHOULDN'T BE DROPPED ON THE CONSUMER, AND I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL YEAR TRANSMISSION. I'D BE HAPPY PAYING 25-50% OF THE COSTS, WITH A MINIMUM 36K MI/ 3 YR WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WOULD ONLY BE THE SECOND MAJOR EXPENSE I'VE HAD TO PAY ON THE VAN, AS THE FIRST ONE WAS THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT, WHICH WAS DONE WELL BEFORE THE TYPICAL MILEAGE MARK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION FROZE AND RELEASED REPEATEDLY NEARLY CAUSING A REAR END CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHAT IS IMPORTANT HERE IS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AND THE WORK DONE IN 2005. HOWEVER, IT IS BLATANTLY APPARENT THAT THE "FIX" HONDA DID FOR THE RECALL WAS NOT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT ONLY A TEMPORARY PATCH. ALL THE RECALL DID WAS DELAY THE FAILURE, IT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. HONDA HAS SIMPLY MOVED THE MILEAGE AT WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX WHAT THEY SOLD. SADLY WE PAID AN ADDITION $4,000 TO $5,000 FOR THE HONDA NAME SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE ISSUES. NOW WE ARE NOT ONLY OUT THAT MONEY BUT HONDA STILL BELIEVES THAT THEIR NAME DESERVES MORE MONEY FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO STILL FAIL. WE HAVE BEEN QUOTED AN ADDITIONAL $2,500 TO $3,000 MORE THAN WHAT IT WOULD COST TO FIX A COMPETING AMERICAN COMPANY TRANSMISSION. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT HONDA KNOWS IT HAS AN ISSUE, THEN ONLY PATCHED IT TO DELAY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLING WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS FAIL AT HIGH SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. A DEFINITE RISK TO PEOPLES LIVES. *TR
